MOGRP2 Morgan County, Missouri

This was a group interview held in a Mennonite restaurant in Versailles, MO. The group consisted of middle-aged and older speakers. KU Questionnaire items #1, #14, #15, and #17 were not collected. A number of short phrases and a few rhymes were collected along with the questionnaire items that we did get.

Description

Although German-speaking Mennonites settled in Morgan County in the late 1860s after the Civil War, the group we interviewed were from a Mennonite community that came over to the Versailles area from Meade County, Kansas in the 1970s.
