Maple community memories and Mennonite settlers details
A retrospective on Maple district life from 1910s to 1920s highlights settlers from California and Kansas, Mennonite Brethren and General Conference groups, local schools, and the Molokane and Russian Orthodox roots. It records families like Neufelds, Walkers, and Herreras, the Lerdo Avenue site, and the early Maple School and PTA and 4-H activities. Vernon H. Neufeld’s life story spans education, ministry, and leadership at Bethel College and Mennonite health services.
