Kulish Family Cemetery, Dunn County ND

Kulish Family Cemetery

Township 144N Range 97W Section 30

This is a small family grave site on private property. It is on the half-section line of Section 30 approximately 11 miles west of Manning, ND in the Fayette area. Sergey and Mary Kulish homesteaded the SE quarter of this section in 1910. She is buried here with four of her grandbabies. Two babies were born to Mary's daughter Nasta and her husband, and two babies were born to Mary's son Mike and his wife.

Sergey (aka Sergery or Sirhy) Kulish was married to Mary (last name unknown) around 1880 and lived in Russia until they and their 8 children came to America November 14, 1910. At that time, there was really no opportunity for prosperity in Russia. They came to North Dakota because it was the only remaining homestead area in 1910 and their son, Egnat had immigrated here in 1906. Most of the families that had immigrated to the Fayette area of Dunn County had known each other in Russia and had lived in the same area there.
