From 1914 - 1916, Texas fever gripped the Manitoba Holdeman congregations. In addition to Manitoba, there were members from Langdon, North Dakota, and HIllsboro, Kansas.This picture shows the first group getting ready to leave Hillsboro. Later, the Mennonite Brethren would follow but the first ones were the Holdemans.
The second picture shows some of our people from Manitoba and North Dakota investigating the territory. Water was a big concern and this picture shows their interest in the large wells which were used for irrigation.
The third picture is probably the combined Holdeman and MB investigative committees.
If you have family stories to share on the short-lived Littlefield excursion, I'd be happy to hear them. You would be welcome to email me at [email protected].

Yesterday we followed an old trade and travel route, one that for centuries was familiar to our Mennonite parents. From Amsterdam to Danzig. Hundreds of years ago, a ship a day came from Amsterdam and docked in Danzig. Many times it had Mennonites on board. These church records from Amsterdam show some of the visitors from Danzig who were baptized in the Netherlands in 1703. Toews (Tewes), Friesen (Vriesen) Thiessen (Tiessen), Jantzen, and Dycks (van Dyck).
While the earlier fore parents of ours came for religious freedom and economic opportunity, these later ones simply testify to the deep ties that existed between the churches of the Old Flemish conference, even though national borders separated them.
