I think it was near Popular Bluff, but that was not its name. I stopped there, and from there they took (or sent) me to New Madrid - to see the Civil War site of "Island Number 10" - and as the center of the earthquake. That was a long time ago (1963) - I don't remember for sure. Minister John Tanner (Danner?) moved to New Madrid in 1813-1814 from Boone County KY (near Cincinnati) where he had lost a son to the Indians. Got there just in time for the Earthquake, so in 1818 he moved to Cape Girardeau. Some question whether he was a Brethren or a Baptist minister (we were the Baptist Brethren back then - not yet German Baptist Brethren). Merle C Rummel > Can someone please tell me what congregation it may have been in New Madrid county, Missouri that was formed in 1886. "Bro. S. A. Honberger, of Barnard, Mo., goes to New Madrid county, to take charge of the church recently organized at that place." (GM Vol. 25, No. 10, p. 152) > >
