Hygiene's roots as a tuberculosis sanitarium are reflected in the town's name. The sanitarium started in 1882 after the Rev. Jacob S. Flory and his Church of the Brethren came to the area a couple years earlier to work with tuberculosis patients. Hygiene is about 2 miles northwest of Longmont. The Brethren were known as Dunkards because they immersed newly baptized members three times in water. Flory's church, which was part of the sanitarium complex, survives in the northeast corner of town at 7811 Hygiene Road. The outside walls are sandstone; inside plaster walls and wood flooring reflect the group's simplicity. The church is the oldest surviving Dunkard church in Colorado and is on the National Registry. The Dunkards either drove patients to a curative sulfur springs south of Rabbit Mountain or brought the water to patients too sick to leave the building. The sanitarium didn't flourish, but Hygiene did.

Chapman-Summers Cemetery
"Old Dunker"
Prosperity, SC
This very old and tranquil cemetery is located several miles East of Prosperity, SC. Going from Prosperity to Newberry, SC, on State Road 391 turn left across the railroad tracks at a Lutheran Church. Follow this road a couple of miles till it dead ends. Turn left and go a short distance, the old cemetery is along the right side of the road.
The cemetery is located on the grounds where once stood a Universalist Church meeting house. The Rev Giles Chapman preached here.
This beautiful old cemetery has recently been cleared and there is a mailbox there with a sheet for visitors to sign, It also contains a directory of the graves located there.
"The oldest grave that can be identified is that of Mary Summers Chapman (B.10/10/1758-D.10/15/1813), wife of reverend Giles Chapman. This grave is located near the right and center portion of the Cemetery. The most recent grave is that of Idalia Dennis Cousins (B. 6/22/1870-D7/13/56). This grave is located in the left and back portion of the Cemetery. Burials earlier than 1813 most surely occurred but the stone or other identification has been lost.

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. Pa. in 1743 and by 1776 had 700 acres in

In 1792, four German brothers, John, Jacob, Joseph, and Daniel Keithley moved into Bourbon Co, Kentucky. There is some evidence that they were in western North Carolina in the 1780s, and family tradition places them in Pennsylvania at some earlier time. Supporting this is the fact that John was married to a Pennsylvania Dutch woman, Maryanne Riblen, and that the customary migration trail from Pennsylvania would have passed through the western part of North Carolina, and not the east. The Germans left a slim paper trail as they moved westward through Kentucky into Lawrence Co, Indiana about 1810. The existence of a fifth brother, Samuel, has been postulated for years, but no certain evidence has ever surfaced. These people were clearly German, as they read German Bibles and spoke German at home. While it is possible that they originally had roots in Medieval England (see below), it is more likely that they are not real Keithleys at all, but simply adopted the name. Etymologically speaking, there is no history of the name "Keithley" in the Germanic languages. There is evidence, in fact, that these Germans originally spelled their name "Kicheli". Whether that spelling is the Germanization of "Kygheley" (later Keighley), or a completely unrelated name, is not known. If it is unrelated, the use of the modern spelling "Keithley" is probably coincidental.

TELL TALE EXTRA: Madison Square Garden: Northern Pacific Country - or - From St. Paul to Carrington on .005 cents a mile. St. Paul, Minnesota, September 25, 1930 Mr. F. W. DeGuire: Referring to your request for some information relative to the early day activities of the Immigration Department of the Northern Pacific. I am sure that we got up something like this for someone you referred to us some time ago, but I do not recall his name and can find no record of it. The Immigration activities of the Northern pacific were at first very closely allied with those of the Land Department, in the sale and settlement of railroad lands. Mr. Peter B. Groat was the first General Immigration Agent, coming to the [Northern Pacific] in the [1870s]. He was a veteran of the Civil War. He retired from this work in 1893. The Northern Pacific is credited with being the first railroad in the country to run an exhibit car, carrying products of the country which it served, such as grains, grasses, fruits, minerals, etc., etc., to the sections in the [E]ast and [M]iddle [W]est from which it was desired to secure settlers. This car was operated for several years and was visited by hundreds of thousands of farmers and others who were interested in seeing what the Northwest – at that time very largely an unknown territory – could produce. That they were satisfied with what they saw is attested by the fact that so many of them decided to cast their lot in the Northwest, where they have made it what it is today. The first exhibit car was destroyed by fire, and was followed by another in 1910, which ran for a number o years before it was decided, for various reasons, to abandon this form of advertising.

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.

"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.

http://www.rochester.infi.net/~rwhend/BobsancestorH.Kintzi.html
My Ancestor Henry Kintzi (Kinzey) of Frederick Co., Maryland (1742-1828)
Christen Kuntzi, of Uebeschi, district of Thun, Switzerland, and wife Sarah, emigrated to Oley, Berks Co., Pennsylvania (near Reading), in 1734, according to an article in The Brethren Encyclopedia The author of the above-mentioned article, Ms. Joan E. Zuber of Vancouver, WA (a descendant of Abraham Kinzey, son of Christen's sixth child Christian, who once lived in Botetourt County, Virginia, just north of Roanoke) has done considerable family research. We believe that we are probably fifth or sixth cousins. She found that several of Christen's children moved west, to Lancaster Co., PA (1770's), western Virginia (1780's), Ohio (1805), and elsewhere, typical of the period. I hope that Ms. Zuber or someone else may someday be able to supply information on the presumed connection between Christen Kuntzi and our family branch. It is certain that Henry Kintzi/Kinzey was a lifelong Dunkard, probably a member of the Beaver Dam church, just north of Johnsville, Maryland. That was one of the first Dunkard churches in western Maryland. He lived in Frederick County for 33 years, and left a sizable estate at his death at age 86, in 1828. In the Mormon church archives, I have found that there was a "Henry Kintz" living in Lancaster County, PA, at the time of the 1790 U.S. census. Since I have been unable to find anyone else with a similar name living in Pennsylvania at that time, it seems likely that this man was actually Henry Kintzi, son and seventh child of Christen Kuntzi, before he moved to Maryland. (Over the years, Americans have found a great many ways of spelling the family name, as illustrated in this article.) It is likely that Henry Kintzi's primary reason for moving to Maryland was to obtain additional land for his sons, which was very common in that time.

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.

    , 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

    Records of the PROPRIETARY GOVERNMENT

    William Penn assumed proprietary rights over the Province of Pennsylvania under the Charter granted him in 1681 by King Charles II. Basic charters or frames of government adopted in 1682, 1683, 1696 and 1701 largely determined the organization and administration of the colonial government. The last of these constitutions, the Charter of Privileges, remained in effect until the Revolution. The 1701 Charter provided for a unicameral assembly composed of four members from each county. A Provincial Council, which had exercised powers associated with all three branches of government, no longer functioned as a legislative body. Originally an elective body, the Council continued in existence as an appointed board in an advisory capacity to the Provincial Governor. The Council exercised executive powers in the absence of the Governor. Provincial Council, 1682-1776

      General Information
      Defining the Area
      Introduction. The twin counties of Wittgenstein existed as a distinct geographic/political area from the age of Charlemagne until 1975. At this time, it was merged with the neighboring region of Siegen to form the political unit or Kreis called Siegen-Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein (and we will speak of it as a single area) has had a clear identity and virtually the same boundaries since the 1600s, to the great benefit of the researcher. To confuse matters, the ruling families took the name Sayn-Wittgenstein with a further distinction between the Counts of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein (based in Laasphe). Geographically, Wittgenstein lies at the southern tip of the Sauerland in west central Germany. The mountains are called the Rothaargebirge , or "red-hair mountains." The present area is about 188 square miles with a 1994 population of 45,000. It is one of the most-densely wooded area of Germany. At its north is Kahler Asten, the tallest peak in central Germany with a height of 2759 feet.
