Abstract

With Germanic and possibly surviving medieval European culture ways implanted in Pottawatomie County, a shared rural slaughterhouse in early Westmoreland provides clues. From oral accounts only, the author locates the site of the original slaughterhouse and discusses its use as a shared resource by early German farmers in the area. This study contains interviews and photographs.
