"Drakola Closed After 82 Years,": an article appearing in a publication of the South Dakota Conference of the United Church of Christ, Huron, South Dakota, mentioning the Oberlin Settlement. In 1882, eight families took land near Lake Thompson (near DeSmet) in Dakota Territory. These settlers became known as the "Oberlin Settlement." Most of the charter members of the Drakola Congregational Church (1884) came from those families. Of the 15 charter members, 10 had been members of the First Congregational Church of Oberlin, Ohio. The Drakola Church was named after Rev. George W. Drake (AB '43; Sem. '46). Also includes a worship bulletin for the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Drakola Congregational Church.
