In 1907 Johann also joined the Mennonite Brethren leaving the Deutsch-Wymysle congregation without an elder. The observance of baptism and Lord's Supper in the remaining small congregation was supervised by the elder of the Deutsch-Kazun Mennonite Church. Johann Schmidt moved to Deutsch-Kazun in 1930, where he died. (see also Deutsch-Wymysle.)
