My understanding is Brethren was a mission of an Indiana church, I'm not sure which one. I am guessing our relatives met at some point. Mine decided to stay and farm in sandy soil.

When he got up there, he found sandy terrible soil. Apparently, his faith was not strong enough to grow corn in sand. He moved to Muskegon. This was back in the 20's or 30's.

I don't know, but maybe the Brethren Heritage Association does. I don't live in the area or have any affiliation with the association, so I don't have the answer to your question. Hopefully, someone will respond to your question via this comment. Thank you for asking. If I find anything out I will share it with you.Brenda Leyndykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530495186632931677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-84218134653477484372015-10-29T12:51:21.367-04:002015-10-29T12:51:21.367-04:00What are we doing with the old post office What are we doing with the old post office Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-8381386638454888772012-10-14T14:00:45.157-04:002012-10-14T14:00:45.157-04:00Kathryn, I want to go sometime when I can spend a ...Kathryn, I want to go sometime when I can spend a couple of hours.
