After the Pleasant Hill and Stoverstown churches were built and Beaver Creek church was repaired, the Upper Codorus church considered the feasibility of dividing, which was peaceably done in 1906, by making the Hanover Junction Railroad and public road leading from Krofts mill to Hanover pumping station the dividing line between the now Pleasant Hill Congregation and Upper Codorus Congregation. The Pleasant Hill house, Stoverstown, Beaver Creek and Wildasin's school house being now considered their property with the following ministers, Elder Moses Mummert, David B. Hohf, Henry M. Baugher, Emanuel Babylon, and Samuel Jacobs, and about 100 membership. . Love Feast dishes were all provided for at Pleasant Hill houses prior to the division.
Upper Codorus, the parent congregation, retained the Black Rock house and Chestnut Grove with the following ministers : Elder E. S. Miller, Joseph Price, George M. Baugher, and A. S. Baugher. The membership was 200.
The money in the treasury was equally divided after all debts were paid.
The following church houses were considered to belong to the Pleasant Hill Congregation : Beaver Creek, the oldest house of worship, situated along the Hanover and Abbotts- town pike, four miles north of Hanover; Pleasant Hill, three miles north of Spring Grove, situated in Jackson township, York County; and Stoverstown house, situated in North Codorus township, York County, about three miles south of Spring Grove and four miles east of Jefferson. Beaver Creek is a good substantial brick building about 40'x36', lately remodeled. Pleasant Hill house, about 70'x40', is a neat frame building and fully equipped with basement to hold Love Feast. Stoverstown is a frame house, about 40'x36', built in 1899. In 1906 Pleasant Hill Congregation was formed with meeting houses at Pleasant Hill, Beaver Creek, Stovers- town or North Codorus, and Wildasin's school house. This school house is well suited to holding services. No school was held here, but the community held it as meeting place. There is a large well kept cemetery joining it. A fund is established to keep house and cemetery in order. It is held jointly by Lutheran, Reformed, and German Baptist.
The Black Rock house was built in 1876 on land bought f: om Henry Hohf at price of $50.00. It is situated in a rural district in Manheim township, York County, Pennsylvania,

about 10 miles south of Hanover and one-fourth mile from the Mason and Dixon line on state road leading from Glenville to intersection of Baltimore pike at Sherman's church.
It is a substantial brick building 70x45 feet with well arranged basement for Love Feast occasions and an attic divided into four separate parts for Sunday school rooms. The cost was over $3,500.00.
The same time as the building of the church a well was dug through rock at the east end of church. Water was reached at 75 feet. An old fashioned wooden pump was installed which did not give satisfaction. Then about 800 feet of pipe was laid from a near-by spring which gives an abundance of water supply.
The building committee was Elder Henry Hohf, Elder Aaron Baugher and Joseph Price. Reverend Joel Miller was the purchasing agent for the building material.
In 1927 the house was remodeled at a cost of over $5,000.00. The remodeling committee was Edward S. Miller, Aaron S. Baugher, George M. Resser, Noah S. Sellers, and Amos Wolf. The money was all subscribed before work was started. The place was lighted by Delco light plant, but is now supplied by current from commercial line. The two Love Feasts are held here every year when capacity of house is taxed to its utmost. We still have it the "old way" by begin- ning on Saturday forenoon and closing at Sunday dinner, and feeding the people at the church gratis.
Chestnut Grove House
Chestnut Grove church was built in 1819 on the site where Shue's school house was located and sold in 1853 by only surviving trustee of Lutheran, German Baptist, and Presbyterians Society, to school board of Codorus township, Pennsylvania. It was bought by Aaron Baugher in 1877 for $25.00 when township built a new school house. The old house was used until 1885 when Chestnut Grove house was built. It is a neatly finished brick building about 50x36 feet. Services are held every two weeks. There is a thriving Sunday school. A well-kept cemetery is on ground were a number of early church pioneers are sleeping.
Melrose house is situated in a small village along the Baltimore pike about 10 miles south of Hanover and 40 miles north of Baltimore. The house was bought by the Upper Codorus Congregation in 1906 and converted in 1911 into a suitable place of worship. Preaching services and Sunday school are held every Sunday.
All our finances were always raised by free will subscrip- tions and offerings. Our people are nearly all rural folks. Their money is mainly invested in real estate. Therefore they

UPPER CONEWAGO CONGREGATION
The Upper Conewago Congregation came into existence in the year 1849 as the result of a division of the territory ther belonging to the Big Conewago Congregation into two sepa- rate congregations, to be known as Upper Conewago and Lower Conewago. Thus it follows, that in order to secure a complete picture of Upper Conewago, it will be necessary 1,0 use as a prelude to the history which follows, that information given in the history of Big Conewago, from its beginning in the year 1741 until the time of the division in 1849. Upper Conewago is not, as its organization date seems to indicate, a comparatively young congregation, but actually dates back to the year 1741, and is justly called one of the early colonial congregations. (See Big Conewago, chapter II, page 51.)
There were nine centers of activity as follows : Latimore, Mountain, Bermudian, Conewago, East Berlin, West Berlin, Longeneckers, Pigeon Hills and Seven Hundred. Although some minor changes were made in later years, the boundary lines and districts are substantially the same today as they were then. Accurate records as to the number of members living within the confines of the Upper Conewago boundaries at the time of its organization are not available, but it is estimated that there must have been approximately thirty families.
Brother Adam Brown was ordained as an elder at the same meeting in which the division was made, and immediately became the first presiding elder of Upper Conewago.
After the division the two meeting houses-Altlands, near Bigmount, and Wolgamuths, near Dillsburg-which had belonged to Big Conewago, became the property of the Lower Conewago Congregation, and Upper Conewago was left with- out a house of worship. It was necessary, therefore, to hold meetings and Love Feasts in the houses and barns of the brethren. During these early days sociability among brethren was at its peak.
In 1851, however, a building committee consisting of Daniel Brown, George Dierdorff, and Daniel Baker was
210
HISTORY-CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN-SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA
appointed. This committee entered into an agreement with John Mummert, a deacon, to purchase a tract of land near East Berlin for the sum of $20.00, said tract of land to be used as a site for a meeting house, and the enlargement of the burial ground, which apparently existed there at the time. In the year 1852 a small stone meeting house was erected thereon, and on May 3, 1854, John Mummert granted a deed for the property to Abraham Brown, Samuel Longenecker and John Mummert, deacons of the German Baptist Society (Upper Conewago Congregation). The location chosen was the site of our present Mummert meeting house. Necessary funds were solicited from the members, and much of the labor and material used was furnished by faithful members as their contribution towards the project.
The first Mummert church did not have a basement for use on Love Feast occasions, and these services were still held in private homes. It is said that the farm along the Beaver Creek, owned by the late Brother John and Sister Barbara Bechtel, was the scene of many of our early Love Feasts. It is also said that a number of our members had been buried in a graveyard on this farm, the remains later having been moved to the Mummert Cemetery, after the erection of our meeting house there.
Having realized the need of a meeting house at the Upper end of our congregation for some years, the brethren decided to build a second house of worship in Latimore township, near York Springs. The location chosen is the site of our present Latimore meeting house.
In the year 1856, Samuel Burkholder, Jacob P. Lerew, and Michael Brown, deacons, purchased from Jacob Greist, one acre of land for the sum of $100.00, for the purpose of building a house of worship, and the establishment of a burial ground.
A church was erected on this spot shortly thereafter, and Upper Conewago now had a house of worship at each end of its territory. As in the case of the Mummert church, much of the labor and material used in construction was donated by the members, and money needed was raised by subscription.
From 1860 to 1886, under the leadership of Elder Adam Brown and his co-workers, who will be named later, the con- gregation experienced a sound and steady growth, so much so, in fact, that in addition to the services held in the two church houses, meetings were also held in private homes, at the Five Points school house, and at the Baker school house. These meetings were well attended and much good seed was sown.
As a result of its steady growth, Upper Conewago was able to build two more meeting houses in 1874. To take care of the central part of the territory, a house was built on a two acre tract of land, sold by Washington and John Myers to

HAMPTON MEETING HOUSE

Samuel Hollinger, John Brough, and William Gitt, deacons, for the sum of $225.00. A burial ground was provided at the rear of the church. The location chosen, near Hampton, is the site on which our present Hampton meeting house stands.
The other meeting house, built in the same year, was, and has since been known as the Trostle house. It was built on a tract of land containing one acre, acquired from Brother Isaac B. Trostle on June 6, 1874, for the sum of $100.00. This house stands on the same site today, and is located about four miles northwest of York Springs.
In the late 1870's Elder Adam Brown, feeling that the oversight of the congregation was weighing heavily upon his physical strength, asked for help in performing his duties. As a result of this request, Jacob P. Lerew and Daniel Longenecker were ordained as elders, and thereafter assisted Elder Brown in his work.
