Most of them have farms and are well-off. They attend church in Sugar Creek. I could not find out what conditions are like at the present time. Slovenes can also be found in Clinton, Bussey, Buxton, Carney, Kopkington, Madrid and Woodward. There are a few Slovemes here who already around 1900 purchased farms.
Nobody takes care of the religious problems and needs.
Mr. V. Oblak mentioned in his letter that the first Slovene emigrants came here five years ago from Semic, Slovenia. They work in the lead and silver mines. The records show that there are eight families and ten single men. The situation for the Slovenes is bad. They had to claim to be German in order to get work.
