  • Notes 
    • Rannsbrunnerhof was originally established by another Cistercian monastery, Sturzelbronn. “The buildings (in 1999) were old and rustic but the Hertzler family living in them at the time had restored parts of the house. Rannsbrunnerhof translates ‘Farm of the Raven Spring.’ The original spring still trickles into a well under the house. Both the spring’s internal access in the cellar for house use and the external access outside the cellar door for farm use are framed in stone openings, the edges of which show the wear from centuries of drawing water.”

      Peter was a deacon of the Evangelical Mennonite Church at Groveland. He signed the bond document for his sister-in-law, Anna’s, guardianship of her children after her husband Andrew died. [8]
