41. The Outsider S View Of The Mennonite Church Isaac Clarence Kulp We were called Dunker or dunkards by the people who were against us becausewe dunked Church of the Brethren are dunkards, that s the same thing. http://www.bfchistory.org/kulp2.htm

The Outsider's View of the Mennonite Church Isaac Clarence Kulp, Jr. November 5, 1994 Jill Davidson: This afternoon's session is the community's, or outsider's, view of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. I add this point for someone who might not know. Clarence made reference to the Evangelical Mennonites. That's what we were called before we were called the Mennonite Brethren in Christ, and we were called other things, too. But that's who he means when he says Evangelical Mennonites. They became the Mennonite Brethren in Christ and later the Bible Fellowship Church. It's the same group. The early people, Father Gehman's crowd, they were first called the Evangelical Mennonites. Clarence: I hate to have a formal presentation after all those wonderful choruses and stories. I think we could probably do well to let all of you talk and tell your stories. My voice is getting poorer and poorer so I don't know how long I'm going to talk this afternoon. Maybe we'll turn it back to you. We were talking about the different names by which your denomination has been known. Of course, the original formal name was the Evangelical Mennonite Church. Daddy Gehman and his associates. "Daadi Gehman." They used to say that. "Daadi Gehman." After one merger, they became the Evangelical United Mennonite Church, and then the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. Those who were outside and didn't particularly like you called you such names as "holy rollers" and, in Pennsylvania Dutch, "Schtrawler Gemee", which literally means the strugglers, because sometimes in the throes of emotionalism, they seemed to be struggling or beating the air, at least, that's what those who were criticizing your people would have said.

42. Rose Jelly Jakie Moyer November 5, 1994, Isaac Clarence Kulp, Jr Moyer who was born in 1808 and died in 1887, and of Sarah Heckler, who weredunkards at Indian Creek. So I feel that we dunkards produced Jakie Moyer. http://www.bfchistory.org/kulp1.htm

"Rose Jelly Jakie" Moyer November 5, 1994, Isaac Clarence Kulp, Jr. Jill Davidson: Clarence was born and raised in Vernfield, which is just a few miles from Graterford. He lives in the same house today where he was born and raised. He is highly literate. You can tell that when you listen to him speak. He's well-read, a local historian. He is a co-founder of the Goshenhoppen Historians. Clarence was raised in the Indian Creek Church of the Brethren in Vernfield, but he is now a lay preacher at the Amwell Church of the Brethren in Sergeantsville, NJ. Clarence's mother was a friend of several daughters of "Rose Jelly" Jakie Moyer and it is from his mother's experience and acquaintance with the Moyer family that Clarence gets his stories about Jacob Moyer. Clarence: It's a great pleasure for me to be here. This is the first time in my life that I've been in this meetinghouse although my great-great-grandfather was here at the dedication in 1892. I'm going to tell you a little bit more about that in the second lecture of the day what his impressions were- the impressions of an old Dunkard in an Evangelical Mennonite Meetinghouse. I like what Ward Shelly had to say in the paper that he delivered on Jakie Moyer at our Delp Meetinghouse a few years ago. He said he embodies the Scripture, "He being dead, yet speaketh." Although he is gone all these many years, dying in 1914, when my mother was thirteen years old, all of his descendants embody many, many workers in the Lord's Kingdom: preachers, and missionaries, Gospel Workers. All represent that testimony, the witness that he left.

NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF THE ELLER FAMILY IN GERMANY J. Gerald Eller James W. Hook failed to fully document what he wrote on the history of the Eller family in Germany. Letters were written in 1986 to several researchers in West Germany who were known to be interested in the history of the Eller family and to several archives and church officials. Confirmation, corrections, and additions to that which Hook published on this subject were requested. Several letters and some published information have been received and will be shared when translations are available. For the benefit of readers not acquainted with Hook, his writings on the history of the Eller family in Germany are presented below and followed by letters from three contemporary German Eller family researchers. FROM: James W. Hook, "JAMES W. HOOK AND VIRGINIA ELLER", New Haven, 1925, pp. 102-103. The Eller family is a very old and honorable one in Germany. According to Siebmacher the name in the middle ages was spelled Elner. The family was one of the most distinguished in the Rhineland. Its ancestral seat was near Dusseldorf from whence the family spread to Westphalia and south to the Rhineland Provinces. One branch, at a very early date, settled in Eastern Prussia near Danzig, where Joachim Eller confirmed the family emblem of nobility in 1600. The name and emblem of the Dusseldorf family was adopted by a branch of the Baron von Eberstein family which was heir to some of the Eller estates and in 1819 the emblems of the two families were combined for Carl Heinrich Christian Wilhelm von Eberstein, Royal Prussian Major, universal heir of his uncle Drosten Christian Ludwig van Eller, who was the last of his name to carry the baronetcy title.

46. Conscientious Objectors In The Civil War The membership of smaller sects such as dunkards, Amanists, and Schwenkfeldersvaried between 800 and 1200. The largest politically active sects, http://www.civilwarhome.com/conscientiousobjectors.htm

Conscientious Objectors In The Civil War Members of several pacifist religious groups conflicted with Union and Confederate officials to defend their conscientious scruples against bearing arms. They tended to suffer most severely in the South, where manpower shortages, a martial spirit, and invading armies left little sympathy for men unwilling to fight. But under each of the opposing governments they sometimes endured violent persecution by civilians, brutal punishment by military authorities, and death by firing squad. The membership of smaller sects such as Dunkards, Amanists, and Schwenkfelders varied between 800 and 1,200. The largest politically active sects, the Society of Friends (Quakers) and the Mennonites, counted well over 200,000 members in 1860; most lived in the North. Shaker and Quaker leaders sought blanket exemptions for their draft-age men, but most cases throughout the war were resolved individually. Often draftees reported voluntarily to instruction camps, then either refused to serve in any military capacity or requested assignments in hospitals; others expressed willingness to support the war effort by furnishing supplies to the army. Lincoln accepted these alternatives and encouraged objectors to apply for exemptions, thus delaying any legislative attempt to address the problem until the draft became an issue in August 1863. Pacifists in combat-torn regions such as the Shenandoah Valley hid or fled with their families to escape being hunted by home guards. By war's end Kentucky Shakers at Pleasant Hill reported having fed at least 50,000 soldiers from both armies and estimated losses in supplies, stock, and buildings at $1 00,000. Some Southern pacifists did enlist voluntarily for combat positions, among them a few Shakers and 6-20 Quakers; 2 companies of Moravian men from Forsyth Cty., N.C., were also mustered into the army in June 1861. Most were expelled from their sects during the war but were readmitted afterward.

A Boy's Impression of Dayton 64 Years Ago An exact copy of Ohmer's diary, written in 1901, in which he describes Dayton as it was in 1840 A BOY'S IMPRESSION OF DAYTON 64 YEARS AGO. My Father with his family emigrated from France about 1831, landed in Cincinnati in 1832. Whilst there he run across some (Amish) or Dunkards from near Trenton, Butler County, Ohio, who induced him to go to Trenton, 0., he "being a tailor "by trade they would give him plenty of work. He did as requested. My first impression of his work was the hooks and eyes he put upon their (The Dunkards) clothes, instead of "buttons; - we remaining in Trenton five years, then moved to Dayton in the Spring of 1837. My first view of Dayton was from the fair ground hill on South Main Street, it was then full height. Dayton looked large to me. Having been accustomed to see the village of Trenton, the contrast was great. The first building to attract my attention was the long frame building on the West Side of Main Street south of First Street; I learned later on that it was the Crawford Last and Peg Factory. It was run by horse power. There were then a few more factories - the large frame building (recently torn down) on the corner of the Canal and Sixth Street. It was then a carpet factory. They used water power. There was also a foundry and soap works at the head of Madison on First Street. That location was the business part of the town (not a city at that time). The Canal ended of First Street.

Brief History of Conscientious Objection The New York Peace Society, founded in 1815 by David Low Dodge, was the first official peace society in America, but the true story of pacifism should begin with certain Native Americans who wished to live in peace. Since then, hundreds of peace groups and thousands of individuals have worked to promote peace and work against war, violence and injustice, following the voice of their consciences sometimes to the point of persecution and imprisonment. This page is intended as only a brief introduction to the historical setting for the topic of conscientious objection to war. More information should be sought from the links offered on other pages, as well as secondary published sources available from many libraries. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Schopenhauer The first recorded conscientious objectors in America were members of religious sects whose faith principles forbade them the use of arms in warfare. The Quakers arrived first in 1656, with the Mennonites (and related groups, the Amish and the Hutterites) coming first in 1683; the Brethren (sometimes called Dunkards, Tunkers, Dunkers) arrived first in 1719. Smaller sects the Shakers, Christadelphians, Rogerenes joined them soon after. But America was not necessarily a safe haven for pacifists. At times they were considered heretics whose freethinking would be subversive to law and order.

KIMMEL CEMETERY Township 12 south, range 2 west Kimmel Cemetery, located west of Jonesboro, Ill., was transcribed by Darrel Dexter in the winter of 1997. It is probably the oldest cemetery in Union County. To my knowledge, it has the oldest legible marker in Union County, that of Jacob Woolf, who died in 1823. (The oldest marker in St. Johns Cemetery is dated 1828 and in Jonesboro Cemetery 1829.) Kimmel Cemetery is often called the "Old Dunkard Cemetery." The earliest members of the families buried there were connected to the Dunkard Church, or German Baptist Brethren. There was at one time a large Dunkard Colony south of Jonesboro, composed of Woolf, Hunsaker, Kimmel, Davis, Dougherty, Vancil, Wigle, Limbaugh and other families. They are in some ways similar to the Mennonites and were called "Dunkards," the German word for "dippers," because they baptized by dipping the person forward, face down, into the water three times. Jacob Woolf and George Davis, who died in 1816, were made the first deacons of the church in 1813 and George Woolf was chosen the pastor. In 1826, Charles Dougherty, the son of Charles and Elizabeth Woolf Dougherty, was ordained a Dunkard preacher in Union County. Between 1827 and 1831, most of the Dunkards left to settle in Adams Co., Ill. The last love feast was held by the Dunkards in Union County in 1836 at the home of Daniel Kimmel. The oldest markers in the cemetery are classified as "discoid," a type of marker which looks like a nearly circular head, neck and square shoulders.

Baptist Churches Alone Find Their Beginning with Christ. Three things must be true concerning the beginning of the church in order for it to be a scriptural church. It must have the right founder - Jesus Christ (Matt.16:18); the right place - Palestine (where Christ lived); and the right time - during Christ's personal ministry. Any church that does not meet these requirements cannot be the church that the Lord built. When and where did all these other denominations begin?

55. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Tunkers They are also called dunkards , Dunkers , Brethren , and German Baptists .This last appellation designates both their national origin and doctrinal http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15090b.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... T > Tunkers A B C D ... Z Tunkers (German tunken , to dip) A Protestant sect thus named from its distinctive baptismal rite. They are also called "Dunkards", "Dunkers", "Brethren", and "German Baptists". This last appellation designates both their national origin and doctrinal relationship. In addition to their admission of the teaching of the Baptists, they hold the following distinctive beliefs and practices. In the administration of baptism the candidate is required to kneel in the water and is dipped forward three times, in recognition of the three Persons of the Trinity. Communion after the manner of the primitive church is administered in the evening; it is preceded by the love-feast or agape, and followed by the kiss of charity. On certain occasions they also perform the rite of foot-washing. Their dress is characterized by unusual simplicity. They refuse to take oaths, to bear arms, and, in so far as possible, to engage in lawsuits. Their foundation was due to a desire of restoring primitive Christianity , and dates back to 1708. In that year their founder Alexander Mack (1679-1735) received believers' baptism with seven companions at Schwarzenau, in Westphalia. The little company rapidly made converts, and congregations were established in Germany, Holland, and Switzerland. As they were subjected to persecution, they all emigrated to America between the years 1719 and 1729.

56. Deardorf History> He and his family belonged to the Church of the Bretheren (dunkards) and were plainpeople living off the land and observing all of the strict rules. http://www.craigcamera.com/deardorf.htm

History of Deardorff The following quaint piece of photographic history was prepared by Merle S. Deardorff, probably about 1983, and printed under the Deardorff letterhead. The Deardorffs raised flax and wool from which they made all of the cloth for their clothes. They also made the looms for weaving it. They had a blacksmith's shop for making their own tools and shoeing their horses, a cider mill, and a corn and feed mill which was run by horse power. They also had a saw mill With two five foot eight inch circular saws capable of splitting a log five feet in diameter, which was run by a forty horse power stationary steam engine. This engine was also equipped to make shingles and do the millwork to produce high grade lumber. Their furniture was nearly all homemade, they pegged shoes, blocked hats, and took care of most of their personal needs. Most of the food for the approximately 30 employees who ran the mill, was raised on the farm. Their back yard was equipped with two very large Dutch ovens, and a large kitchen for putting together the meals. Laben was raised on the idea "if you need anything, make it yourself", from which he became very inventive. All his life he had a creative mind, and was continually thinking of and making new things. He graduated at age 18 from high school and almost imediately bought a new suit which was his first that was not home spun. He also had his picture taken, which was not looked on favorably by the Dunkards. On presenting a print to his favorite aunt, who was then quite old, she remarked in her down-home drawl, "Now Laban you shouldn't have done that; those photographer fellows go into a dark room when they do their work., and people that's honest do their work out in the light."

HISTORY Hepburn Township was organized in 1804 out of a territory set off from Loyalsock. It was named to honor William Hepburn, an ex-State Senator and judicial administrator. It embraced the territory, now found in the Township of Lewis, east of Lycoming Creek, and a portion of Cascade and Eldred Townships. Among the first settlers on the Lycoming Creek was John Thompson (1784) who opened a hotel a mile below Cogan Station. Samuel Reed built the first house in Hepburnville in 1800, which stood until 1874. It was the only house between Newberry and Trout Run. He was also the first teacher in the township. In the early 1800’s William Ball settled in the area now called Ball’s Mills. William built a fulling mill, clover mill, woolen factory, and a sawmill. His son Samuel built a grain cradle factory in 1867. During this same period, a tract of land in Loyalsock Township, called Hopewell, was obtained in 1792 by James Willits. It contained 422 acres.

Song playing: Brethren We Have Met To Worship Song may be found at Midi Haven-featuring Eleanor Adams GERMAN BAPTIST CHURCH - OLD ORDER BRETHREN There were several Old Order Brethren congregations in Somerset County. Many people incorrectly refer to this sect of the Anabaptists as "DUNKARD". This term was applied to the members of the Church of the Brethren in the late 19th century and early 20th. The word "Dunker" was acutally a anglicized corruption of the German word, "Tunker," which means "dipper" or immerser referring to the mode of baptism practiced by this group. The term is still used today by two minor conservative orders, Old Order Dunkards and the Dunkard Brethren. The mode of baptism practiced by this group was adopted during this groups founding in Pennsylvania in the 1770's. It is believed that the first religious group to arrive in Somerset County were the German Baptists or "Die Bruder's Leute". They are the one's who named "Brueder Thal" or Brothers Valley and were said to have been organized in the county as early as 1763. After moving to LaGrange, Indiana, James and Catherine Boyd belonged to the Lupold Church which was four miles west and one and one quarter miles south of their homestead, and they lived in accordance with it's doctrine.
