Description	:	They came from as far as Bessarabia, South Russia. Many came by train to New Salem where they unloaded their wagons and horses or oxen and finished their journey in this manner. Some followed in the hoof prints of the earlier cattle drives. They came plodding up the long trail from South Dakota, their plows tied to the sides of their wagons and the animals that would pull these plows drawing the wagons that brought them here.

Some followed in the hoof prints of the earlier cattle drives. They came plodding up the long trail from South Dakota, their plows tied to the sides of their wagons and the animals that would pull these plows drawing the wagons that brought them here. Hard, sturdy men and their equally sturdy and industrious women, they called themselves Germans from Russia and they all had a common goal. Land! Free! One hundred and sixty acres that would become theirs just for erecting a dwelling, breaking a few acres of sod and living on the land at least part-time for a period of three years. To these people with a generations old hunger for land of their own this was an irresistible lure - and here in northern Mercer County they found, their "Golden Fleece". Too many to name, these German-Russians had been friends and many were related. They spread over the bleak, inhospitable looking countryside and began its taming and development. It wasn't easy. The buffalo sod was tough and hard to plow, and most farms had rocks by the thousands that had to be dug and hauled from the fields. They were a tough and hardy breed, not easily discouraged. Under the bullsod and rocks was a deep and fertile soil, and under their skilled and loving hands the farms took shape and began to bloom.
