of Kotosufka, Volhynia, Russia whose members left Russia in search of religious liberty, sixty-two families sailing on the "City of Richmond," landing in New York September 3, 1874, and in October arriving on this Quarter Sectin (S.W. Quarter Sec. 19-21-2W) which was donated by the Santa Fe Railroad Company for church purposes, and with a few more families arriving later, settled this neighborhood.

And in gratitude

to them and to our beloved country, the United States of America, which graciously granted the religious liberty sought, and to our Heavenly Father to whom we give all the honor.

Their descendants erected this monument
October 1943

Every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my Name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Matthew 19,29.
