Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Ruff/ Erbele Family Collection contains two accession numbers, 2011.25 and 2012.18, because it was brought in at different times. The first accession, 2011.25, contained seven images of the Erbele and Ruff families and a family pedigree. The second accession, 2012.18, contained seventeen images of the Erbele and Ruff families and a biography page on Henry George. The collection was initially named the Dianne Gemelli Collection upon her first donation in 2011. Upon the second donation in 2012, the collection named was changed, at the donor’s request, to reflect that the photographs are also courtesy of Merrlyn (Ruff) Meland. The Ruff/ Erbele Family Collection contains two series: Family History and Photographic Images.

The Family History Series contains a copy of a six-page handwritten family pedigree for Dianne Gemelli. This chart traces her lineage back to Jakob Friedrich Erbele. The most modern entry is that of Dianne Gemelli’s granddaughter, Devin Ridler, who was born in 2001. Also included is a small leaflet copied from a book with biographical information on Henry George.

The Photographic Images Series consists of twenty-four (24) scanned images of members of the Erbele and Ruff families of Logan County, North Dakota. These photographic images were copied from the original photographs and are maintained within this collection as photocopies or as digital files.
