However, a surname in addition to these may have been Albrecht, for when member David Heer died in 1923, his sisters were listed in the settlement papers as Barbara and Rosina Albrecht. At first, they met for worship services in homes. Then a log schoolhouse was built for use as an English public school and both the worship services and the schooling of the Mennonite children were transferred there. The school was located across Mill Creek on land owned by John Rudolph Hammer and is still known as Hammer s Bottom. The site is on what was Hammer s highest bluff of land and to reach it from Mill Creek Road, one must first enter private meadow-land, ford Mill Creek, then walk up the long grassy slope along the old road that led to the top.
Ruts left by the wagons are still clearly visible.
The cemetery cannot be seen from the road below, but three tall pine trees mark its location. On the way they had to drive through a stream, where the ice had been broken open for that purpose. In crossing, the little girl was thrown off, and the current swept her under the ice. This cemetery was used as a community burial place and many of the people buried there were non-Mennonite. There is no maintenance of the cemetery today.
