It's one main room with 3 or 4 large windows on the "females" side; at least 3 large windows on the "males" side, interrupted by a double "funeral doors" that wagons could off-load the casket without stairs. It's a double entrance-- males / females, males on left and only the male side is used now. About 1 & 1/2 stories, brick exterior, wood frame interior. Built 1832. The 1/2 story attic has 2 windows in the front. The tiny access door is at the rear ceiling in the main room. All the windows are -- double hung?? meaning, two separate panes of glass with wood frame and the bottom frame is pushed up to open the window. The "back" room was the original kitchen for Love Feasts but they removed the fireplace pre 1940s and rennovated it. No real "trim" -- just the wood framing around the wood entrance doors. I think the roof is a basic slate or renovated shingle roof. The inside used to have the male/female separating wall, shoulder high when seated, but was removed long ago. The front of the main room has a platform with the original table / Bible stand on top. Pews original.

The description of meetinghouses in the vernacular section sounds like the best category. It even includes German meetinghouses. Where is the building located? Deborah Thomas

The sub-category "Republican" probably comes closest. Teri Petit is also correct to suggest the style is most likely "Traditional Vernacular." Duncan Morrow ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.A.

So, what Architectural Type is it? Judy

What kind of ornamentation (I realize this might be an oxymoron for a Brethren church) does the church have? (Style of windows, eaves, trim one or two doors, etc.) Is it brick, stone or frame? You say it was built in 1832 -- where? I am an art historian (I studied American architecture and material culture in grad school) so if you are still having problems classifying your building let me know and I may be able to help. Just out of curiosity, what is the plan of the church? (Does it have more than one door, etc.) I would love to see a photo. Best of luck on the preservation work. Deborah Thomas

Good morning. I am looking for some general information at this time on medical practices among German Baptist Brethren til the end of the Civil War. I know the content of the Brethren Encyclopedia. I have also been researching material extracted from the John Kline diary...Thomsonianism, nineteenth c. botanics more broadly, epidemics broadly in the time period. What I am really searching for is names of folks who practiced medicine, either as trained (regular) doctor or as practitioners (who were oftentimes also legally doctors). At this point, I would be interested in just a name and dates and location (church, town, county, whatever you have), and a source reference to the claim of being a doctor. And although I say doctor, I also mean nurse or other medical practitioner. Also, any medically related references from the *Gospel Visitor* (or *Evangelische Besucher*) would also be appreciated.

I, too, have a relative who considered himself "the only Dunkard in Texas". He had no church in the state, yet a Dunkard he remained:) Aaron Ogden Dayton, an allopath. In my family the past two generations never had a Dunkard church in MO in their lifetimes, yet I, raised in California, know Dunkards we have always been.

Thanks. I do not have records about Jacob Davis - but will make a comment - Since there seems to have been no San Francisco Church, Mr Davis seem not to have been attending a Brethren Church, and might have not been for a considerable time. The reference to "Dunkard" would then be more to his church background. He could have been raised Brethren, and joined the church in his youth, and held to some of it in his life (or as the family remembered him) I have several members of the Four Mile Church (Indiana) families who were '49ers or arrived there soon after. There is no record of them being "Brethren" in California, although they seem to have come back to Brethren Churches. Others attended Methodist or Baptist Churches, since they had some similarity to the Brethren. In a quick look-up in Dr Gladys Muir's Brethren on the Pacific Slope - there seems to have been two Brethren Churches in the general vicinity as early as 1862 - Church of California and the Napa Valley church. Neither were directly in San Francisco. It is possible Mr Davis had contact with one or the other of these. Merle C Rummel

I am interested in finding out if the Germantown Church of the Brethren building is registered with any historical or architectural societies due to its possible importance in either area. I went to the National Register of Historic Places website ( http://www.nps.gov/nr/research/ ) and I couldn't find the church building listed there but the site seemed kind of buggy to me so I'm not real confident in the results I got. Are there any other places that I could look? Any other organizations that might have listed the church building?

The Mennonites have the same prohibition against joining the Masons. One of the reasons is that they oppose the taking of oaths. That being said, my g.g.g.g grandfather was Mennonite who died in 1854, and has an "A" like symbol on his tombstone that is very Masonic looking. I found the same symbol on another Mennonite and possibly Amish tombstone. I have never found an explanation of what that symbol meant, but it sure looks like a Masonic symbol to me.

Yep, "Uncle Pete" (just joking) took a walk with his tombstone for unknown reasons, under unknown circumstances. Maybe he wanted to check on the former "Progressives" at Highland Brethren, whose members once belonged to Ten Mile before the split in the 1880s. Whatever caused his tombstone to be removed, he is now "home". It is possible but just a guess that the entire stone toppled, had no "footer", because it is a complete stone in good condition. It extends another half length (as the top half or what the inscription occupies), so there would be 1/4th or more of the bottom that could have been buried under the soil. This church/cemetery took many names over time. Daniel's Run is a creek and a road nearby. But the church is officially called "Ten Mile Church of the Brethren", on Dunkard Road, on the hill above Marianna and between Spring Valley Road and the road to Lone Pine near Amity. As to the date, I'll post the link when I get the pictures online. The older ladies of the DAR took the 1938 readings. Their eyes-- or mine-- could be wrong on the date. You can take a look and see what you think. Judy On Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 6:11 AM, J.A. Florian <[email protected]> wrote: > Peter Eller (tombstone) > Inscription: > Died Jan.

Judy, Uncle Peter found! If you look closely at the marker, there should be more space than usual between the eight and one. Many of the older stones had lightly engraved fours that eventually faded away looking like a one. A 17 Oct 1938 reading in Volume 2 of Washington County cemetery books lists inscriptions of the "Old Dunkard Church Cemetery" which gives Peter the death date of 8 Jan 1813 at 63 years and the next is Mary Magdalene wife of Peter died 10 Oct 1870 age 88 next to namesake daughter. Peter Eller son of Henry Eller Sr. & Elizabeth Bigler was born in Frederick Co MD and died 8 Jan 1843 in West Bethlehem twp, Washington Co PA. He married circa 1809, Mary Magdalene, thought to be the daughter of Jacob Shideler Sr. & Catharine Hooven. An intestate was filed for his estate in the May Court of 1843 by administrators Daniel Eller & Nicholas Garret. They were the parents of Daniel 1810-1890 m Ella unknown, Catherine 1811-1879, Elizabeth 1812/3-1902 both single, Mary Magdalene circa 1814-1871 m Jack Moore and Henry circa 1816-1886 single, all of whom are buried in the Daniel's Run Church of the Brethren Cemetery near Mariana PA.

Peter Eller (tombstone) Inscription: Died Jan. (8?) 1812 Aged 64 yrs 9 mo 26 (or 28) days (Stone surface may have additional markings or misc indentations below the inscription.) This tombstone was found in a house's basement near Beallsville PA. It was returned to Ten Mile Church of the Brethren in 2010 with a note from the man who was cleaning out the basement. Other ELLER stones are across from front of church. We think one of them might be Peter's wife? Who is related to this line who can help me in identifying who was Peter's wife and children? There's an empty "appearing" gravelot in the Eller section, where Peter might belong. But, there's no burial map or burial records for the cemetery to identify the lots. Can you help me with info about the family? I took photos of the stone last week and will be putting them onto my website. Judy
