BISMARCK, N.D. Raymond Voegele considers it an honor for his wife, Rose, to be buried at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1946-47 in South Korea. The couple later met in a church choir in Glen Ullin. They married in 1952. Raymond Voegele went to refrigeration school in Minneapolis, worked for a Glen Ullin hardware store for 10-12 years, then at military bases in Montana and later Utah, where the couple spent a number of years and he retired.
The 2021 Legislature extended a burial benefit for spouses and eligible dependents of military veterans to be interred at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery.

Locally produced Dakota Spotlight to be first podcast preserved at State Archives
The State Historical Society of North Dakota has selected Hebron-based Dakota Spotlight to be the first podcast preserved for future researchers.
“Dakota Spotlight is a great candidate for inclusion in our collections because it reflects and preserves North Dakota history,” manuscript archivist Emily J. Kubischta said. “It documents for the historical record: the dynamic and innovative ways that research is being conducted and disseminated in 2021, crowdsourcing of data collection and investigation, listeners who are galvanized toward the causes of truth and justice, and the coming together of online and local communities.”
