George Storrer and three other young men from Germany emigrated to the U.S., he and/or they *may* had roots among the PB there, and settled initially at Walla Walla, [[Washington|WA]], and relocated to American Falls by 1905, and was hired by Cornelius & Paula Klassen for their farm in Aberdeen. George attended a conference at the [[Kansas City Meeting Room, MO]], where two laboring brothers ministered, Walter Potter (Chicago, IL) and a Mr. Fleck. George invited Walter to visit with Cornelius & Paula in Aberdeen.. In 1912, Cornelius & Paula Klassen, George Storrer, Jacob Elias Landvatter, and one other started the Aberdeen Meeting Room with the assistance of Jean Thonney, Mr. Birney and another brother from [[Walla Walla Meeting Room, WA]]. The Aberdeen assembly is known locally as the "Klassen Church".
About 1992, Harold Klassen led a split starting a smaller assembly (not in fellowship with the other) colloquially known as [[Aberdeen Fellowship, ID|Aberdeen Fellowship]], that is presently aligned with a network known to some as (Jim) Renton brethren (exclusives, initially composed of ex-Taylor, JrSr. brethren that exited in the early 1970's what is now the PBCC, abbreviated as (Ren/R/TSr-EB), and they meet on the outskirts of town with several other families.
