Merle--Thanks for this information. I did not have this Eikenberry info. I do have some other Eikenberry info on the ones who were with the Bell Creek group, moved to Quinter, KS and then returned to Nebraska but to a different congregation. I believe this Eikenberry was spelled with only the I at the beginning of the name. I would need to check that out to be certain.
