MOHLER FAMILY
Among the early settlers in Cumberland County were Christian Mohler and his nephew, Daniel, who purchased land there in 1800. There is no about about the large part in the work of this congregation, (Cumberland County Church of the Brethren) taken by the descendants of the Mohler family. Though not many ministers they were faithful and active as Brethren. Annual Meeting was held on the farm of Daniel in 1824. The ground for the Mohler church was donated by Daniel's son, Solomon. Rudolp Mohler, elected to the minis- try in the Cumberland County church in 1832, and Allen Mohler, elected in the Upper Cumberland congregation in 1846, were members of this large family.
Other ministers of the Mohler family who served in Lower Cumberland congregation were John M. Mohler, Levi S. Mohler and his son, Harry B. Mohler.
WILLIAM STOVER
William Stover (1715 or 25 - 1800) was a native of Switzerland. (In early records we find his family name spell- ed Stober* and Staber **. The signature to his will written in German is Wilhelm Stober.) In the early seventeen fifties (probably 1752) he immigrated to America with his wife, Judith Schafer (or Schaeffer), and children. After a sojourn in Eastern Pennsylvania he moved to Franklin County, Penn- sylvania, about 1754. Tradition says that his parents were members of the Reformed Church; that he united with the German Baptist Brethren (now Church of the Brethren) after coming to America; that he was soon elected to the ministry and thence advanced to the eldership of the Antietam congre- gation wherein he served with ability. He thus became the leader of the earliest church organization for German speak- ing people in this vicinity. It was in his congregation, while

he was serving as presiding elder, that the first house of wor- ship *** of the Church of the Brethren was erected west of the Susquehanna River. He preached the sermon when his church was dedicated at which time one of the hymns attributed to Peter Becker was sung :- Gross ist unsers Gottes Gute, (Great is the goodness of our God).
His home was about four miles from the church. Family tradition says and the nature of the construction of the upper rooms in the large stone addition to the original part of his dwelling place indicates that preaching services were held there. His homestead has been an attraction to many people because of the high stone wall 22 inches thick which enclosed the garden (110 feet long, 96 feet wide) extending from house to barn, the eastern wall of the house and western wall of the barn forming part of the enclosure. It is said that there is evidence that the wall extended farther west at one time, enclosing the house and thus affording a great protection in going from house to barn during those times when many In- dians were roving around. It is believed that he erected this wall as a defense for himself and neighbors in times of Indian raids. About 1900 mention was made of there having been a fort at this place since when it is frequently spoken of as Fort Stouffer (more properly Fort Stover) and an effort has been made to place a marker there to memorialize it as such. (See page 8.)
The names of his children as mentioned in his will dated April 28, 1797, were: George, William, Margaret Pritz (Britz), Michael, Jacob, Daniel, Elizabeth Stoner, Susanna Kish (Gish), Emanuel, Catherine Kish (Gish) deceased, Hannah Landeis, Ester Feester.
Two of his sons, George (1748-1826) and Emanuel (1761-1833), married Catherine and Susanna, daughters of John Price. George migrated to Virginia, along with other Brethren families about 1792 and settled at Amsterdam in Botetort County. He was a well known physician who travel- led over a large territory in Southern Virginia and North Caro- lina. He was twice married and the father of 21 children. His second wife was Margaret Beaver.
Michael (1755-1834) who married Christena Hess was the ancestor of Daniel F. Good, one of the leaders of the Old Order group which withdrew from the Antietam congrega- tion in 1881 and who was for many years a prominent elder in that denomination.
Daniel (1757-1822) who married Barbara Benedict suc- ceeded his father in the eldership of the Antietam congrega- tion. "He was well known throughout the Brotherhood." (Gospel Visitor March 1859.)
Elizabeth Stover, who was married to David Stoner, the son of Jacob and Antrin Ferguson Stoner, of Ann Arundel

Emanuel (1761-1833) who married Susanna Price was the great-grandfather of Wilbur B. Stover, our pioneer mis- sionary to India, and also of H. M. Stover, a present elder of the Antietam congregation.
