Jacob Buller, elder of the Alexanderwohl congregation in South Russia and later at Goessel, Kansas, was one of the 12 delegates sent to America in 1873 to prepare for the migration. J. W. Buller was the founder of the Buller Manufacturing Co., Hillsboro, Kansas. Peter P. Buller (b. 1874) served for many years as minister of the Alexanderwohl Church and later of the Goessel Mennonite Church in Kansas.
