Larned Meeting Room, KS
In 1894, there were two (TW-Lowe) exclusive meetings in Larned, Pawnee Co., Kansas, an English meeting in the home of A. Mojonnier, and a German meeting in home of Peter John Fudickar (1850-1915). The German meeting may have started about 1884. The German meeting lasted at least thru 1915.
On May 30, 1894, a brother named A.B.P. from Los Angeles, wrote into a assembly missionary publication known as "Letters of Interest" (printed by A.J. Cowell, on Oxford Road, in Ealing; and distributed by the Bible & Tract Depot, Yonge St., Arcade, Toronto, Ontario); The following is an excerpt, the full article can be found at BrethrenArchive. The article says "Larned, TX" but he mentions "this state of Kansas" so I'm assuming the former is a typo.
"At Denver, Colorado, and at Larned, whence I now write, brethren have met together every evening whilst I have been with them. It is not easy to leave when this is the case. Thus I have already passed eleven weeks since I landed, and have now before me six or seven places in this State of Kansas, besides several in Iowa and Illinois, before getting very far away from the Mississippi. We have had sorrow too. A brother in California has fallen from a scaffolding, breaking both legs and an arm, besides other injuries. He has a wife and large family. Collections have been made here for him."
