WOMEN'S CLUBS JOHN ROTHROCK, PIONEER DUNKARD John Rothrock, one of the donors of the land on which the city stands, was a leader and a minister in the Dutch Reform, or Dunkard Church, and was very active in its affairs until his death in 1860. Although his followers made no special effort to increase the formal membership of the society, its annual meetings, or out-of-door revivals, were largely attended, even by many Dunkards from a distance. As Mr. Rothrock was comparatively wealthy and the local members of the church were industrious and fore-handed, the society maintained for some years a strong and good influence on the community. The Baptists and Presbyterians organized classes not long after the Dunkards took the field tinder Elder Rothrock, and in 1836, as has already been noted, the Methodists founded a society. The Presbyterians and the Methodists have maintained their organizations to the present time. THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH THE OLD AND THE NEW SCHOOLS The Old and the New School Presbyterians commenced building churches about the same time in 1843; but the history of the periods of disunion and subsequent union has been so well written by A. R. Orton that the writer is pleased to condense from one of his articles.

THE NAME AND FAMILY of "OPLINGER" compiled by John D. Watkins Son of Anna L. Oplinger (Watkins) The name of "OPLINGER" is described as having been of Teutonic origin and derived from the name "Oberlechen". from the Alpine regions of Tyrol, Austria, near Innsbruck, bordering the town of Patsch, which lands belonged to the Counts at the time our ancestors lived there, as farmsteads in 1718. The surname is found on old records in the various forms of Oberlechen, Oberlecher, Oberleger, Upleger, Oblinger, Uplinger, Opplinger and Oplinger,the last mentioned being the most generally accepted form of today. In the early days when the world was less peopled, men had but one name, that being the name given when baptized; that applied to our ancestor, "Nicholaus". The name "Nicholaus" is one of the many Saint names which was used as a Christian name. It is originally Greek, and means "Victor of the People!" His name, Nioholaus, was shortened into a pet name (Claus), sometimes spelled (Klaus), to distinguish the Father from the Son, who was Nicholaus, Jr. Unfortunately, he could not write and his surname was recorded as it sounded including the different ways of spelling, as in Germany at that time. Although the language was German, there H were many dialects, which caused the different ways of spelling, but always the same "Nicholaus".

Excluding the Methodists, the current combined membership make up only 1/10th of 1% of total Protestant membership. By 1650 there were 180 sects all based on the Bible. (Each now capable of priesthood.) Today there are over 400 religious denominations in the U.S. and only seventy (70) are of foreign or racial origin. Just two are American, the Mormons and Christian Scientist. The vast majority are derivative from other denominations. No church anywhere, non-Christian as well, has been able to avoid splinter groups, or small sects from developing. It is surprising that the Catholic Church has experienced the most division. And the Methodist Church alone has been the mother of nearly 50 sects.

Richard Pletcher Jesus was born into a Jewish world and became the seed rather than the founder of Christianity. His message that God was a loving father of all life, his rejection of patriotism, bonds of family loyalty, all private wealth and personal advantage, were revolutionary. Jesus never gave much claim to being the Christ, he broke the Sabbath saying it was made for man. Paul, the 13th Disciple, who never saw Jesus in the flesh, was the architect of the Christian church. Christianity was a cult that soon, under Paul's leadership, developed into a religion by adopting practical methods of the popular religions of the times. He buried much of the original teachings of Christ under familiar pagan customs. Christian priests adopted the garment of Egyptian priests, Sunday was taken from Mithraism and Mary came to be worshipped in the guise of Isis, the queen of heaven.

50. Deardorf History> He and his family belonged to the Church of the Bretheren (dunkards) and were plain people 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."

Melungeon-Colored Mildred Haun I didn't know what to make of it when I saw Ad come stomping into the house in the middle of the morning. He was white as a lily. "Cordia runned off and got married last night," he said. "To Mos Arwood." "Hit's a tale-idle," I said. "It hadn't so." But he said Squire Newberry told him. Then he let in to fussing at me because I let her go over there to spend two weeks with Amy. Said after Amy got married and went to Hamblen County to live she had forgot how to take care of anything. Said it looked like I wanted Cordia to run off and get married. I didn't know what to do. Me and Ad had both been tight on Cordia, tighter than we were on our own youngons. We never had allowed her to go to any poke suppers or singings or anything like that. Many was the time I had stayed away from things myself just to keep Cordia at home. Of course, Cordia didn't know but what me and Ad were her real pa and ma. I give Effena a death-bed oath that I never would tell. You know, if you tell something a dying person asks you not to tell you will be haunted by that person the rest of your life. Everybody you tell will be haunted too. It never would have done to have told Cordiajust never would. I didn't see how I was going to do without Cordia. And having to worry about her. That made it worse. I had missed her them two weeks she had been staying with Amymissed her worse than a cow misses a baby calf. I told Amy to be careful with her. But I could tell about what had happened. And I was right. Amy let her go to one of them Dunkards' suppers. Of course, a Dunkards' supper is the beatinest place in the world for a boy and girl to start sparking. Cordia couldn't see but what she had as much right to get married as anybody else when she was already seventeen year old. Me and Ad had brought her up with our own youngons and she never did know she was just a grandyoungon.

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.

53. Eller Family Association - The Eller Chronicles Pennsylvania. It is said that the Eller emigrants to America between1740 and 1750 were dunkards, or descendants of that faith. http://www.eller.org/feb88/feb88p5.htm

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.

David Coy's Genealogy Page 256) Jacob Coy Sr. and wife (name unknown) b. c1710 Germany d. 1757 died at sea, and buried in the Atlantic The progenitor of my Coy family in America began in north-western Europe of the early 1700's. The area known today as Germany was, at the time, a collection of independent kingdoms known as the Holy Roman Empire. Sometime around 1710 Jacob Coy I and his wife were born in this part of Europe, and sometime around 1730 they were married and began a family. In an 1881 interview with one of the couples great-grandchildren, the family was described as "High Dutch". In America the term "Dutch" was once deraugatoraly used to describe not only people from Holland, but also Germans. The term was a variation of the word "Deutsch" which is the German word for "German". The term "high" referred to the southern mountainous region of the German speaking peoples. In 1757 the family, consisting of the parents and 7 children, began a migration from Europe to America. During the voyage both parents died and were buried at sea. There are a great number of unanswered questions about the events before, during, and after the voyage. If this family was typical of the times in which they lived these questions can be answered as follows. 1) Why did Jacob Coy I and his family come to America? During this time in German history the only reason that an entire family would be allowed to leave the kingdom in which they lived was because of religious or political dissidence. This family was involved in the German Reformed or "Dunkard" Church. This congregation was an outgrowth of the LutheranChurch. "Dunkards" took a more literal interpretation of the Bible. The name "Dunkard" came form their practice of immersion, or "dunking" their members during baptism. In the southern Catholic controlled section of the empire where the family originated, the Dunkards were persecuted, not only because they were Protestant, but because they were considered very radical (just as the Puritan Pilgrims had been in England).

KANSAS COLLECTION BOOKS William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas JEWELL COUNTY, Part 3 BURR OAK. Burr Oak, at present, is the largest and most prosperous town in the county. Situated at the terminus of the Central Branch, on White Rock Creek, ten miles northeast of Mankato. It is pleasantly located and surrounded by as fine a country as can be found in the county. The first settlers in the town and vicinity were A. W. Mann, F. Gilbert, A. J. and D. H. Godfrey (A. J. Godfrey built the first house on what is now State street), G. Beanblossom, L. N. Tingley, J. M. McCormick and others, who located in the spring of 1870. The postoffice was established in 1871. J. M. McCormick, a faithful public officer, has held the position of Postmaster from that time to the present. The town was laid out in 1875 by A. J. Godfrey on the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of Section 23, Township 2 south, Range 9 west, being a part of his homestead. The first store was that of J. E. Faidley, the second F. Gilbert, and the third T. B. Carpenter. Rev. Allen Ives, in May, 1871, at A. J. Godfrey's, preached the first sermon. The first school was taught in the winter of 1873 by W. H. Kemp. In 1875, a whirlwind of considerable severity passed over the town, but owing to the scarcity of houses did little damage, merely injuring the few that then marked the town. Since 1875 Burr Oak has made a more rapid growth than any place in the county. It is larger in population and does more business, owing to the fact that it is the terminus of a railroad and has the trade of a very rich and well-settled district.
