I rise today to call your attention to the 100year anniversary of the Hochheim Prairie Farm Mutual Insurance Association In the German community of Yoakum. TX. This associations start in 1892 sprung from a genuine community desire to assist community members who experienced hardships. Back when Texas was first being settled by European immigrants. the immigrants Invested all they had in their homes. farms. and ranches. These pioneers faced many a hardship to get to the new country. and would face many more in the vast rural areas of Texas. Loss of a home due to fire wiped out an entire familys possessions. and bouncing back was not simple.
