Johann Frederick (Fritz) Lenkner and George Baier left their homes in
  Finsterlohr, Germany and came as young men to Medicine Lodge, Kansas to
  the Conrad Baier home in the year of 1914. Fritz made his home with the
  Leonard Ott family, twenty miles southwest of Medicine Lodge, working
  there for one year. He then rented a farm in that immediate area and was
  there for several years. He later moved to the Lake City area and in 1924
  made a trip to Cleveland, Ohio to wed Margaret Marie Lang. She had left
  her home in Wolfsbuch, Germany in 1923 to come to America to live with

  came from Germany to the Lenkner ranch to be employed. Sofie Lang, Margaret's
  sister, came from Germany to Kansas in 1930 and the following year she and
  Wilhelm were married. They made their home nearby on the Lemon Ranch for
  several years.

  way of life centered around their family, their church and working together
