(Continued from page 3) In 1896, an exchange or trade was made with the Canadian Pacific Railway for a quarter section of land, in order to establish a farmer-colony. The company (C.P.R.) also sold the north-east quarter of section 7, township 16, range 16, at a price of $2.50 per acre. The land was bought for the colonists in the name of three (3) trustees, namely Johannes Obrigevitch, Anton Schmidt and Raymond Dielschneider. The south portion of the quarter was divided into lots, and the northern part, through which the “Many Bone Creek” meanders was left as pasture land. In the spring of 1897, some of the people began building houses on their lots. The work continued at great speed, so that quite a number were able to pass the winter of 1897 in the little village. The proprietors of the first lots were: 1. Jacob Reinhard 2. Johannes Wollbaum 3. Simon Schmidt 4. Georg M. Koch 5. Joseph Obrigevitch 6. Hyeronimus Ebenal 7. Raymond Dielschneider 8. Peter Herauf 9. Johann Obrigevitch 10. Anton Schmidt 11. Christoph Fahlmann 12. Johannes Eberle Since the inhabitants in the Seven (7) Colony were mostly from Rastadt, they gave their colony the name of Rastadt. At the same time, a similar colony was formed on section 14, township 16, range 17. These inhabitants were mostly from München and Mülhausen. For a time it was known as Fourteen (14) Colony but later became known Beresan District Odessa Newsletter - Volume 6 Issue 3: February 2002 Page 10 as Katharinental. The quarter section of land upon which 14 Colony was established was bought through trustees Johann and Georg Bast from Sebastian Schropp for $150.00. Subsequently, it was divided into lots and 21 families settled there. The first proprietors were: 1. Benedikt Ferner 2. Peter Dielschneider 3. Johann Thomas 4. Andreas Bengert 5. Heinrich Bengert 6. Wilhelm Thomas 7. Johann Bast 8. Johann Ell 9. Johann Reinbold 10. Andreas Fahlman 11. Andreas Koch 12. Wilhelm Reinlander 13. Andreas Wollbaum 14. Franz Bast 15. Georg Bast 16. Joseph Fahlmann 17. Adam Ell 18. Leonhard Ferner 19. Ignatz Ell 20. Thomas Ackermann 21. Michael Sherger This colony was originally called St. Peter. Subsequently, with the establishment of the post office, it became known as Katharinental, the first postman, Wilhelm Reinlander, having come from the colony of Katharinental in South Russia.
