My parents, John [born November 24, 1893 in Schönbrun, South Russia] and Marie Dick, along with my brother Henry and I [John H. Dick, born December 26, 1921 in Alexanderkrone, South Russia] docked in Quebec in August of 1924. ... During the winter of 1926, our family, along with the Mathies, Thiessen and Berg families, rented a house near Tavistock ... In the meantime, Reverend Jacob W. and Mrs. Lohrenz had come to Essex County to act as liason for immigrant families coming to the Essex-Kent area. In spring of 1926, my Father came to take a look around. First he went to see Cornelius Neufeld who was already working in the fishery at Port Crewe ... [In 1926 Margaretha Dick, widow of Abram (b. July 6, 1889-October 28, 1919) and her children "joined the Cornelius Neufeld family, renting two tobacco farms near Wheatley ..."

In 1928, at the urging of Jake Kornelsen (brother of Maria Mietz Kornelsen), Friedrich Wilhelm Krause, Marie Mietz, Krause and Heinrich Wilhelm Krause, moved from Germany to the seventh concession, Wheatley, Ontario. They shortly moved to Port Crewe, about thirty kilometres east of Wheatley, on Highway 3, the Talbot Trail, where F. W. Krause worked on a fishing boat for Crewe Bros. Fishery.
