I think Jurjen returned to the USA in 1916:

Interesting! The border crossing record says he traveled with Grace, their last permanent residence was Stenger, Alb (hard to read and I can't yet find a town named Stenger, so this may be wrong), and they were going to Manhattan, Montana.
It appears Jerry made it pretty far north in Alberta before returning to the U.S.
There is a (verry small) place called Stanger in Alberta. Could this be where they lived?

That must be it! If I compare the current map and the Western Land Grants map, Township 55 and 2 "blocks" to the right is where Range 6 intersects. That is pretty much right over Stanger. Goodness... this really was/is out in the middle of nowhere :-) --Jennifer (JBS66) 16:08, 9 June 2011 (EDT)
