Biographies of family groups who arrived in the Kiron
Area between 1867 and 1872.
We are Americans! The story of the immigrants continues into the decade of the 1880's. More and more relatives and friends still living in the old land are hearing of the good life in the new world and set out to join those who have gone before. Those who are here are adapting to the new land. New customs and practices are being accepted. Men renounce their allegiance to the sovereign in the old land and apply for citizenship in their new land. There is a good feeling in the air. Now we are Americans!

The Making of a Community
Within the first five years of arrival in the new land, these immigrant people had set about to meet their basic survival needs. They arrived with little money but they were full of hope. They found that they could pick up work with the railroad companies and earn enough cash to both survive and to start their new lives as frontier farmers. After five years most had moved out of the railroad camps and were settling into making a place to call home.
Now they had neighbors! People like themselves. People joined in a common effort to make good in their new land. People who they could trust. People who were willing to lend a hand when the need was there. People with whom they could join in the making of a community. Their own community. It didn't have a name but it was their place!
