Brotherfield South Dakota Adventists began to leave South Dakota about 1885. Some, responding to calls from Adventist organizers, settled on homesteaded land in an area northeast of Napoleon, North Dakota that would be called German township. The small village of Richville was started there in 1892 as well as an Adventist congregation that later built the Streeter SDA Church.
About 1900 they migrated again, to New Home (Lowery township) in Stutsman County.
This list of settlers from George Barron in Jamestown, ND includes many Brotherfield Adventists. This composite 1911 New Home Plat Map
links out to individual genealogy pages.
They started an Adventist congregation in Mary Wall's old sod house. Later they built a New Church (red balloon "A" on satellite map below) on Wentworth land, a mile east, at 5251 7th St SE Sykeston ND 58486-9612.
