The <em>[[Hutterite Chronicles|Klein-Geschichtsbuch]] </em>(ed. [[Zieglschmid, A. J. Friedrich (1903-1950)|Zieglschmid]], 1947, 369) gives a brief account of how the Deckers joined the Hutterites. In 1783, two Hutterite brethren from Russia visited the Mennonites in Prussia, and were well received by [[Wiebe, Gerhard (1725-1796)|Elder Gerhard Wiebe]]<strong> </strong>of<strong> </strong>Ellerwald<em>. </em>From there they traveled along the Vistula to visit [[Nickel, Abraham (1743-1820)|Abraham Nickel]], deacon of the Schönsee Mennonite Church (now Poland). It was at this place that 15 Mennonites joined the Hutterite delegation to unite with their community at [[Vyshenka (Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine)|Vyshenka]], Russia. Among these 15 was Els Decker, a widow with five small children. The <em>Klein-Geschichtsbuch </em>mentions particularly Benjamin Decker as a member of a delegation to the authorities in Odessa, petitioning for more land (about 1842). When the Hutterian Brethren began their emigration to the [[United States of America|United States]] in 1874, a Johann Decker is named among the first group to leave Russia. These people then settled in [[South Dakota (USA)|South Dakota]], known there as the [[Schmiedeleut|&lt;em&gt;Schmiedeleut &lt;/em&gt; Hutterites]]. David Dekker, a grandson of Johann D., was the <em>Vorsteher </em>of the [[Tschetter Hutterite Colony (Olivet, South Dakota, USA)|Tschetter Bruderhof]], Mount Olivet, South Dakota, which is also the home of four other Dekker families (Michel, Paul, Jacob, Joseph). Another Dekker family was among the pioneers of the Old Elmspring Colony<em>, </em>founded by the [[Lehrerleut|&lt;em&gt;Lehrerleut &lt;/em&gt; Hutterites]]. A Samuel Dekker was preacher at Rock Lake Colony, [[Alberta (Canada)|Alberta]].<br />
