Preacher Michael Stahl, who was also chosen in Russia, was confirmed by Peter Wedel, the elder in Alexanderwohl in 1865, and died in the Tschetter commune (South Dakota) in 1900. Elias Walter, Sr. was chosen preacher here in 1889. This was the mother Bruderhof of the Dariusleut, one of the three Hutterite kinship groups in America, named after Darius Walter.
