Nice of Souderton, PA who sponsored Russian Mennonite immigrants 1923
When my grandmother Mary Dirks, 17, and her sister Katharina Dirks, 16, immigrated to the U.S. from the Ukraine in 1923, they were sponsored by a "Mr. and Mrs. Nice" of Souderton, Pennsylvania, U.S., who were associated with the Eastern Mennonite Home. Some Internet research I have conducted suggests the full name of Mr. Nice might be John S. or Garret S. Nice. I would really like to find out the answer, as I am reediting my grandmother Mary's memoirs of that time and would like to include Mr. and Mrs. Nice's first names, and also ideally, a photo.
