Introduction “Suitcase of Memories” was created by Francine Guck and Carmen McCullough, sisters and descendants of the early Dutch settlers in Otter Tail County. The inspiration to create this book came from an assortment of vintage family photographs and newspaper clippings discovered in a worn, blue suitcase from their Grandmother’s past. The contents of the suitcase told the story of a group of Hollanders who came to the United States to settle in what is now known as Butler Township in Minnesota.
