Extractions: Part # 4: Dunkard Brethren The Dunkard Brethren had a church in a log building on the corner across from Rev. Elmer's house and near the house once occupied by Ray Berberich. On the same site Laura Gibbons grew many beautiful flowers when she was able to work in her garden. The Dunkards held their Church services about all day. They had no regular Minister. Some of their members were: John Short, John Fink, Mr. and Mrs. Sion Davis, Asa Stuck. Baptism was a very serious ceremony and they insisted on putting the person to be Baptized down face foreword. They tell us that John Fink was Baptized when it was the dead of winter and a hole had to be cut in the ice in the River. When he came up out of the water, he exclaimed in words not fit to be repeated on such occasion and added, "I saw a mink".

Extractions: 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, 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.

Skinner One of the acts in the all church talent show that we had a couple of weeks ago was a mixed quartet singing a song from my personal past. In fact, right before the show began I stumbled on George, Pauline, John and Kayana rehearsing with Margaret in the sanctuary and much to their dismay I joined right in singing along with them. I didnt need the music; I remembered all the lyrics. You see, this was a song we sang a lot at the youth Bible Study I regularly attended when I was in high school. The name of the song is Hes Everything To Me, and the second stanza says I will celebrate nativity, for it has a place in history; Sure, He came to set His people free, what is that to me? Til by faith I met Him face to face and I felt the wonder of His grace, Then I knew that He was more than just a God who didnt care, Who lived away out there, and now He walks beside me day by day, Ever watching oer me lest I stray, helping me to find that narrow way

Extractions: , working as blade maker's then, decided to forsake these harsh conditions and immigrate to The New World. Departing Germany in those days though, was frought with obstacles, the most daunting of which were the guilds. Skilled workers, such as the Studenbeckers, belonged to trade guilds. These organizations, formed to uphold trade standards and protect members, were loath export their professional secrets. The brothers were told that in order to quit the guild, they had to relocate to another city and work at a different trade for five years. They complied by moving to Hagen , to the northeast of Solingen, and having satisfied their obligations, journeyed down the Rhine with their cousin Heinrich to Rotterdam. Sailing on the Harle for Philadelphia, they arrived in the American colonies September 1, 1736 and eventually moved to Germantown to take up farming. John Clement Studebaker was born on February 8, 1799 in Adams County, Pennsylvania, sixty-two years after the first Studebakers landed in America. He was married at age 21, in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, to Rebecca Mohler, an 18 year old from Lancaster. Purchasing some land in 1830 near Getty's Town (now Gettysburg), he built a house and work shop where he worked as a blacksmith and wagon maker. Industrious and devoutly religious, he ran his business on the philosophy "always give more than you promise". Times were hard though and his efforts at raising a family were not very successful. Not only was the country in an economic slump, but John C. had a charitable spirit towards those in need. He frequently undercharged people, accepted farm goods for payment or did work on credit for which he didn't collect. Additionally

Extractions: Research by: Pat Mote Jacob Grieb lived in Germany near the sea. According to oral tradition, Jacob, a cooper by trade, may have killed a college student who slipped into his shop through a narrow opening. As a cooper, he had a long, heavy knife with a cord attached. He usually threw this knife into whichever pole he wanted for making hoops and pulled it to him. He threw his knife and may have killed a student. The ship, Brigantine Richard and Elizabeth was sailing for America and he slipped aboard unnoticed until the ship was at sea. He arrived in America on September 28, 1733, at the age of 21. Jacob married a German woman, Elizabeth Ulrich and had a family. It is likely that Jacob heard the preaching of the Dunkers who stressed "Thou Shall Not Kill". Perhaps his conscience troubled him and he sought pardon by entering the church. In 1765, Jacob and his family joined the settlement of Dunkards at Franktown, Pennsylvania (seven miles southwest of Altoona, Pa) Jacob had 150 acres in Lancaster Co.

Extractions: Year of Despair and Hope, June 1777 to June 1778 During the 1777-78 campaign season, the crucial victory over the British at Saratoga in October 1777 brought action in the North to an end for the season and, for all practical purposes, for the war. In the Middle Department, however, repeated military setbacks as Washington unsuccessfully attempted to defend Philadelphia and the grim winter at Valley Forge which followed placed demands upon the Hospital Department in the New Jersey-Pennsylvania area which it could not meet. THE MIDDLE DEPARTMENT As Washington retreated before the British in Pennsylvania, the Hospital Department was forced to move seriously wounded and ill patients from place to place in all kinds of weather in open and springless wagons. Villagers who lived along the evacuation routes long remembered hearing "the wounded cry as they passed over the stones." The shortage of both housing and clothing led to the overcrowding of poorly clad patients in inadequate facilities and the rapid spread of what was then called putrid fever, making a shambles of whatever hopes may have arisen as a result of the reorganization of April 1777 under the leadership of the new Director General, William Shippen, Jr. Troops in the New Jersey-Pennsylvania area saw no major action until September of the new season since during the early summer the maneuvers of the British general, William Howe, in an attempt to force the Continental Army to give battle in the vicinity of Brunswick and Amboy, New Jersey, were in vain. In July he embarked 15,000 men, about two-thirds of his army, in the waiting ships of the British Navy and disappeared over the horizon. During the following six weeks, several sightings of the enemy fleet led to varying predictions of General Howe's ultimate intentions, and General Washington, trying to anticipate the enemy's next move, led his forces north to the Hudson River and then south again to New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Much of these lands was withheld from the market for an advance in price, and hence were slowly settled. They were finally sold by the proprietors in tracts to suit the purchaser, so that there is no uniformity of outline in the survey lines of these tracts. Except the Tuscarawas, which skirts the southeast border of the township, Sugar Creek is the most important stream. It flows southeasterly and divides the township into two almost equal portions. In early times its banks were fringed with beautiful thick groves of sugar-maple, whence the name of the stream was derived. The pioneers of this valley made large quantities of maple sugar, as did also their Indian predecessors. Brandywine Creek and Crooked Run, in the southern part of the township, were early settled. Back from the valleys the surface is rolling and hilly. It was densely covered with timber. The plains, extending along the river and Sugar Creek on both sides for many miles, supported only a sparse and scrubby growth of underbrush. 528 - HISTORY OF TUSCARAWAS COUNTY Dover Township was erected March 6, 1810, and had these original boundaries: Beginning at the northeast corner of the third quarter of Township 9, Range 2; thence south to the Muskingum (Tuscarawas) River; thence with the meanders of the same to where the section line, dividing the first and sea and quarters of Township 8, Range 2, crosses the river; thence south to the southeast corner of the third quarter of Township 8. Range 2; thence west to to the county line ; thence north to the northwest corner of the third quarter of Township 9, Range 4; thence east to the place of beginning. It was taken from the west part of Goshen, and included within its original boundaries what is now Sugar Creek and the greater portions of the present Dover, York and Auburn Townships. The house of Christian Deardorff was selected as the first voting place, and the first Monday in April, 1810, was the date of the earliest election.

However, the commander of the gunboat Carondelet , Commodore Walke, is willing to take that risk. Accordingly, Foote gives Walke permission to run the batteries "under the first fog or rainy night." Foote further instructs Walke that should he meet with disaster to do all in his power to sink or destroy the gunboat to "prevent her from falling into the hands of the rebels."

Extractions: Our Family Chronicle The Blocher Family The following week, the men disposed of all their property and other valuables, as secretly as they could. They knew if they were caught; they would be hung. They would need the money to get them started in the Colonies. The three brothers slipped out of Germany in 1753, and took passage on a sailing vessel; they were bound for the new world and a new life. Matthias settled in Hanover, Pennsylvania. He married a woman named Barbara Schwabin, and they had several children. Among these was a boy named Joseph. He lived at the time of the Revolutionary war, and he took part in the fight for Independence, as a Private of the Commonwealth of New England, before he married. His wife was Elizabeth Roberts. Little is known about this couple, but one of their sons was named Samuel. Samuel Blocher left Pennsylvania when he was a young man. He married a girl named Catherine Wyland. After they were married they settled in Darke County, Ohio. It was about this time, the Blocher family converted to the German Baptist Brethern religion, the members of which were called "Dunkards". The family had a tradition of naming their children names from the Bible. It was natural for Samuel to name his son, Joseph, after his father, when the boy was born in Ohio in 1831. Samuel and his wife had eight other children, besides Joseph. To break the oxen, the boys would put six yoke of oxen on a log wagon and drive twelve miles for a load of logs. When they got back, the oxen knew what was expected of them. One of the ox yokes, that Joseph and his sons used, can be seen in the Museum at Topeka, Kansas. Another one is hanging on the wall at the Old Castle Museum, in Baldwin, Kansas.

I think it could help a lot of young kids when they have to through this. I think any parent who is cruel enough to make the child decide which parent to live with at the age of 13 or any age is wrong and they don't deserve to have that child either. It should never be put upon a child to decide what parent he should live with how could child make that descion, he/she would think well if I don't choose dad he'll be mad, but if I don't choose mom, she'll be mad at me. How could any child make that decsion, I think that this book could really help kids with divorced parents and it would probably help divorced parents too.
