Hutteral
Notes:
Founded in 1842/43 and is 12 miles east of Melitopel (History of
Hutterite Mennonites). According to Geisinger, from 1874 to 1879 the
Hutterite community in Russia (about 700 people) decided to move to North
America (mainly South Dakota). Colonists from Eugenefeld bought the land in
Huttertal and settled their landless sons there when the Hutterites left for
North America.
Pioneer Settler Surnames:
Decker, Entz, Glanzer, Gross, Hofer,
Mendel, Miller, Pollman, Stahl, Tschetter, Waldner, Wipf, and
Wollman.
