A compilation of memories from Essex County people and beyond who took part in the Mennonite Heritage Cruise Sept 21 to Oct 3 1995, Kiev - Odessa.
HEDY DENNIS: Roots

My great, great grandfather, Peter Lepp built a farm implement factory in Chortitza in 1865. He died at the age of 54. It was then that his son-in-law Wallman took over the business - thus the name Lepp-Wallman. Even today the steel steps bear the name Lepp-Wallman.

In Chortitza, almost across from where we celebrated the MCC 75th Anniversary, stood the Lepp factory, yet we were not even allowed to set foot on the yard.

On the first day of our three-day excursions we were on the Chortitza Generic tour bus which took us to the villages of : Nieder-Chortitza: (1803) Saw some old Mennonite homes, villages, schools and church. We visited the cemetery where every grave was individually fenced in, covered with flowers and most of the stones bore a picture of the deceased. We had to walk through the bushes to find Mennonite grave stones. Burwalde: We just drove through since no one had family connections here. Rosengart: Here we visited a former Mennonite school house. The children there were ready for handouts - candy, gum, pens, etc.. It was surprising how modern and well-dressed they were. We saw several typical Mennonite homes with their two small gable windows. A stone at the graveyard read: Ruhe sanft in deiner Gruft bis dich dein Heiland ruft. Kronstal: Stopped briefly. Osterwick: Saw the former Mennonite church. We sat on the curb to eat our bag lunches. The large, impressive school next door, formerly Mennonite, now had 80 students, 13 teachers. We stopped at the very large Schulz brick factory. Schöneberg: We noticed metal irrigation pipes overhead and on the ground. Every village had chickens, ducks, geese. Goats were tied up along roads or field edges. Schönhorst: One of the original 8 villages. Saw former Mennonite homes or newer home built on Mennonite foundation. From back of bus came "If you build on Mennonite foundation you should do alright". Neuendorf: Established 1819. We viewed buildings and visited the cemetery and always, in the bushes, we found old, often not legible, Mennonite stones. The following day we continued on our tour of former Mennonite villages: We stopped at the Bergmann (he had been a member of the Russian parliament) estate at Solonye, used by his son-in-law Hooge. It still had the original 150 year old oak floors. Here the state-run farms average 112,000 acres, the collective farms about 10,500 acres each. About 400 families live on a collective farm. Neuenfeld (or Nicolienfeld): The former Mennonite church is now used for a school gym. Our guide informed us that the Ukriane has the lowest birthrate in the world. Franzfeld: One of the best-kept (had not been destroyed) villages. Painted fences, fruit trees, vegetable and flower gardens. Hochfeld: We stopped for our bag lunch under an Acadia tree. In villages, public buildings run parallel to the road, private homes stand vertical to the road. Eichenfeld: Inhabitants had been murdered, village burned down, there was nothing left. Neuendorf: Four Hildebrand sisters on our bus had roots in this village. Surprisingly, a somewhat aggressive man (who was, in fact, Marina Dyck Lepp's cousin, see Marina's account elsewhere in compilation) showed them where the home their father had built still stood.We were drawn into their story: they had left Neuendorf in the 1940s. Having experienced the Hildebrand and Lepp (Dyck) find, we felt as though we had discovered America!
