Anson with Bess, Pearl and Belle, bindering oats (Orvie Wideman farm visible in the distance). Anson greatly enjoyed his horses, especially if they pranced along with grace and style. We usually kept around a dozen or more horses, both heavy teams and drivers, since we did not use a tractor or car while living in the Conestoga River valley.

Basement Facilities for the Love Feast at Big Swatara, Hanoverdale
Basement Facilities for the Love Feast at Big Swatara, Hanoverdale
Spring and fall love feasts brought hundreds of visitors from other Dunkard congregations, as well as other Anabaptist fellowships of the area. The event involved three days of preaching, singing, the Lord's Supper in bread and wine, feet washing, using the holy kiss (sisters to sisters, brothers to brothers) and many times baptisms in a nearby branch of the Swatar. Baptisms were performed, face forewards, dipping converts completely, three times, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Not unusually, baptisms took place in the winter, where a hole was cut into the ice.

Big Swatara Meetinghouse at Hanoverdale in the late 1800s
Big Swatara Meetinghouse at Hanoverdale in the late 1800s
The Lord in Heaven greatly blessed the work amongst the German Baptist believers in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, during the 1800s. But the evil one also did his part in planting seeds of apostasy, division and spiritual disorder. Thankfully, through many challenges, the work continues today. --Photo from the Elizabethtown College Church of the Brethren Photographic Collection
