Biographical Sketch
From Ancestry census, birth, and draft registration records

Mary S. Steiger (Garman) was born in 1932 to Carl E. and Ruth Steiger. She married Neal A. Garman in 1955. Siblings include: Donald, Constance, Ann, and William Steiger.

Carl Emil Steiger was born June 16, 1896 in Fremont, Wisc. to Emil Herman and Sophia (Faust) Steiger.

The photos in this collectionwere taken on a Burleigh County N.D. farm that may have belonged to E. H. Stieger, Carl’s father, in 1917. Two short films in the Mary S. Garman Film Collection show this same Burleigh County farm in 1973, the Chateau de Mores in Medora N.D. and the Theodore Roosevelt cabin on the Capitol Grounds, Bismarck.
