About half became Adventists and migrated to Logan County, ND then to New Home in Stutsman County. Of them, Jerry Guenther wrote, "The pioneers in this area (ND) were all old friends and relatives. They all came from Parker, SD and the families knew each other from Russia. All of us children never knew we were, for the most part, all related. No one spoke of it."
