Andrew Mercer’s son Russell married the former Mary Alice Hammes in 1940. John Mercer holds her picture and says his mother and father were very active community members in Sidney and Richland County. He says his mother in particular was interested in preserving history, and was instrumental in the formation of the Mondak Historical and Arts Society, and also participated in an effort top restore Fort Union, near the confluence of the Yellowstone and the Missouri rivers.
