There were seven villages in close proximity. This group of people came from Germany in 1842 and settled near Buffalo, N.Y., having broken away from the Lutheran Church. They believed that God could com municate to his followers through an individual the same as he did in the days of the prophets. As their community grew and the price of land soared, they felt a need to move west in order to remain apart from “worldly” influences. Thus it came about that they eventually purchased 26,000 acres in lowa. They lived a communal life and worked the fields and all ate at a common table. In order to sell their products and meet the needs of the com munity, they established woolen mills, flour mills, lumber and brick yards and a calico works. Each village had their own tinsmith, cobbler, tailor, carpenter, harness maker, furniture-maker, butcher. baker and basket-maker. These crafts were passed down from one generation to another. The women worked and prepared three meals and two lunches each day for the com munity mem bets. The children attended the village school six days a week all year-round. Than something happened in 1932. Due to the depression and dissatisfaction among members, they abandoned their communal lifestyle and formed a profit sharing corporation. They received wages and owned tlmr own homes and ate in their own family kitchens. Their products are accepted as excellent and today they sell woolens, furniture, smoked meats, and also major appliances such as food freezers, refrigerators and air conditioners. They no longer attend church services 11 times a week, although they still wear dark suits and the traditional black cap, shawl and apron to services each Sunday morning. m
