Paraguay Becomes Home to 76 Texan Baptists Colony
Asuncion Paraguay welcomes 76 Texan Baptists who relocate to a 240000 acre ranch on the Paraguay River near Puerto del Sol. Organizers Pan Western Enterprises plans a weekly freight and passenger steamship service between Puerto del Sul and Asuncion while the group builds homesteads, marks lots, and learns Guaran language from Puerto Rican teachers. The settlement includes 4100 children? and a 17000 head cattle herd with Mennonite neighbors who already export dairy products from the Chaco. President Stroessner praises Mennonite farming methods and the Texan group signs a multi year contract with Pan Western Enterprises for wages and land development.
