Louis R Conradi came to Dakota Territory in November of 1881 and left during the summer of 1883. Many of his converts returned to their MB congregations. The Adventists migrated to North Dakota settling finally in New Home, south of Sykeston. Their first meetings were held in an abandoned sod house on the Mary Wall farm. The church they built in 1903 burned to the ground in 1953. When their new church was completed this History of the Church was read at the 1954 dedication. Original Letter
