    3. Drove by the historical marker on Snow Hill yesterday, but there was no good place to pull off the road. I did some 'surfing when I got home. Thought this article might be of interest to anyone with ancestors involved with the community. (Note on why the experiment probably died out - All the members were celibate. Apparently they had trouble finding others who wanted to join them.) http://www.cob-net.org/cloister.htm Included on this site is a list of members, although there seems to be no distinction between those at Ephrata and those at Snow Hill, plus a listing of manuscript material at the PA State Archives.
