| 4554 | From "Memoirs Garden" by Annie (Shoup) Brewe, a tribute written by Rev. Willis Shoup in 1944 A Short Biographical Sketch of the Life of Sarah (Miller) Shoup Great Grandmother Wagonner Her maiden name was Sarah Miller - daughter of Jacob Miller. She was born in 1793, in the little town of Hagerstown, Maryland. She came to Canada with her parents shortly after the War of American Independence. When the thirteen New England States declared war on England, many settlers did not assume arms against Britain. They remained loyal to the British Crown and the British flag. In large measure the govenment of these Colonies confiscated the lands of the Loyalists, and refused to allow them to collect any debts due them. Thus, many families who had been fairly [well] to do, were reduced to abject poverty. These people migrated to Canada and as a recognition of their loyalty, were given a Royal grant of land by the Imperial Government. They became known in history as "The United Empire Loyalists." In honor it is an evidence of nobility, then these settlers can be truly classed among the first aristocracy of Canada. For a more honorable class never settled any land. Mr. Kirby in his "Annals of Niagara" says that every one of the United Empire Loyalists had a military bearing, an air of dignity, and a kindly spirit of comradship, derived from the dangers and hardships which they shared together. Many United Empire Loyalists settled in New Brunswick, in Quebec and Ontario, along the shores of the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, and theNiagara Peninsula. The journey of emmigration lasted as much as three months. Some walked all the way through the State of New York which was at that time almost an entire bush wilderness, driving their sheep and cattle, and carrying their household goods and effects on their backs or on pack horses. Their hardships and sufferings have never been told. As one author has written of these "None will ever know, because none have ever been told all that these brave pioneers of Canada have undergone for their devotion and loyalty to England." Today, yet, we see on the outskirts of old settlements, little mounds, moss covered stones, that mark the last resting place of our forefathers, but these do not tell us of the hearts laid low by hunger and exposure, or of the babies and little children who perished for want of food and raiment. They do not tell us of the courageous mothers and wives, also the daughters who bore themselves bravely as the men, toiling by their sides in the field, and banishing from their lives all regret, as they recalled all the comforts that might have been theirs, had they remained and cast in their lots with the revolting states. No great monument has been raised to their memory; nor is one needed, because a true love is enshrined in the life of every Canadian citizen who admires fidelity to principal, devotion and self-sacrifice. "Broad lands, ancestral homes, the gathered wealth Of patient toil and self-denying years Were confiscated and lost .... Not drooping like poor fugitives they came In exodus to our Canadian wilds, But full of heart and hope, with heads erect And fearless eyes, victorious in defeat." (William Kirby) It was once said by the chief constable in the city of Winnipeg "A United Empire Loyalist needs no credentials." Theirs was so great a credential that there never was a finer race of people. The Imperial government gave grants of land to these settlers, sometimes as great as 800 acres, and when they heard of the sufferings and privations of these subjects, they sent aid which was indeed late in reaching Canada, and was a mere pittance when it came, but was nevertheless very acceptable. This class of settlers did much toward laying a sound foundation for citizenship. These people were physically strong and abounded in courage. Among these early settlers were the Millers and the Shoups. They settled in the Niagara Peninsula and along the Niagara River front. Sarah Miller was 18 years old at the outbreak of the War of 1812. At one time, her home was between the opposing armies. During the war, she baked bread for the British soldiers, giving them one hundred pounds of bread for the same weight in flour. In this way, she managed to have enough over and above the soldiers' allowance for the use of their family. In her declining years, she enjoyed relating these stories to her grandchildren. One of these stories was of the time she baked a baking of bread and concealed it under the bed until such time as she could deliver it to the army. It was quite evident that the enemy was hiding somewhere near, for soon after some enemy soldiers came, went directly to the bed and carried it off. On another occasion, the soldiers tried to steal her chickens. She stood with her back to the hen house door and defied them. Thinking to intimidate her, they threatened to shoot her. She would not yield to their threats until her mother persuaded her to give them one. She selected a good tough old one, and they took themselves off. At one other time, the British soldiers commandiered a beautiful team of horses, wagon and harness belonging to her father, Jacob Miller. Nothing was heard of them for over a year and a half. One day a man reappeared with them in good condition, and paid for every day they had been away. On January 10, 1816, Sarah Miller was united in marriage to Benjamin Shoup by magistrate. At that time only an Anglican minister could marry anybody. If there were no clergyman within 18 miles of the parties wishing marriage, a magistrate could legally perform the ceremony. Their first home was located on Lot 14, in the 1st Concession of Willoughby on the Niagara River. After thirteen years of married life, Benjamin Shoup died, leaving his wife with a family of seven young children, the eldest child, Jacob, was only twelve years old. It was never known with sureness just how Benjamin died. Grandfather once told of the morning he last saw his father. He said, "I can see him now as clearly as if it were yesterday. He was a very handsome man, tall and well built, with a great shock of curly black hair. I saw him go away with his gun presumably to shoot ducks. That was the last I saw of him. Next day, we found him lying in a foot of water by his flat-bottomed boat, drowned." These were Grandfather's own words. For many years Grandmother struggled bravely on to try to rear her family, and carry the responsibility of a heavily mortgaged farm. The mortgage was held by Judge Samuel Street, a very shrewd business man. Grandfather once said, Judge Street would exact the last penny, but unlike many, he insisted on paying the last penny. He was very exacting, but very just. He could have taken the entire farm under the mortgage but this he consciously refrained from doing. He would not leave a widow and her children homeless. According to the law at that time, the eldest son became heir to all the father's possessions, if no will was in existence. In order to make life less strenuous for the widowed mother, Samuel Street released her of the mortgage and exchanged the farm in Willoughby for 100 acres of land in Walpole Township, Haldimand County near Lake Erie. There were 99 ½ acres in the Niagara farm. He gave the deed to the Walpole farm to Jacob Shoup, the eldest son, and he in turn gave his mother a Life Lease on it. The farm is located on Lot 14, Concession 3, Walpole township. In the fall of 1843, she moved all her effects to this farm. This was a long hard journey, and it seemed as if she were being separated from all that was dear to her and her children. Her eldest daughter, Sarah, married Johnathan Beam, and lived on the north end of the farm. At that time, only a small log house and a few pens were the whole of the buildings. The house faced the south and had a door and a window in the front. There was a window at the west end and the fire-place with a chimney on the outside of the wall was on the east end. The house had a verandah across the front. This verandah was built by allowing the rafter of the south side of the roof to project and form the rafters of the verandah. When these verandahs were floored and roofed, they became quite cosy. Grandmother was married a second time to a David Wagonner or Wagner, but this union was not a very happy one. Wagonner was a rather wicked, uncouth rough man. A few years after their marriage, he took a paralytic stroke, that left him a helpless invalid for years. He became a great care, and so trying at times that Grandmother used to say, "I have only one prayer, that I out-live him, that he might not be a care for anyone." She did so by between 30 and 40 years. He is buried in the Baptist Cemetery at Cheapside. A large part of the east side of the farm had been cleared by Matlock, she lived on the farm prior to Great Grandmother's coming. The house and barns are located on the extreme southeast corner of the farm. The lines were first set about 40 rods east of the buildings, due to an error made in survey of the lines between the two farms. When properly surveyed, it was discovered the lines would intersect before they reached the next concession road. On the Niagara farm, Grandmother Waggoner had many fruit trees. She brought apple and plum trees with her to the new farm. Many of the trees in the orchards of South Walpole were from seedlings which she grew. Some of these trees are still (1944) on the farm today. Grandmother brought with her the old German idea of a flower and vegetable garden. The garden plot was near the house, and was surrounded by a picket fence to keep out the poultry, pigs or cattle which would have ruined her flowers and vegetables, were they left to run loose. A path ran around the garden, and several paths ran through the center. The beds in the center were usually devoted to flowers and the rest to vegetables and herbs. One cannot help wondering how our grandmothers found time to devote to such work, but their gardens were apparently their pride. It was always the custom to take the visitors out to "see the garden" before leaving for home. We can see these women now, with white aprons or kerchiefs tied over their heads, strolling through the garden, interested in looking at the flowers. In the spring of the year, our grandmothers would bring out the boxes in which were stored the seeds gathered the previous fall, each kind of seed wrapped in a separate package, some in folds of newspaper, some in brown paper bags or rags, all firmly tied and carefully marked. Also among these were the parcels of common vegetable seeds, such as lettuce, cabbage, onions, beets, beans, and cucumbers. Plants bloomed through the entire summer in the flower beds. There were crocuses, tulips, daffodils, in the spring. In the fall were the dahlias, phlox and asters. Some of grandmother's flowers were candy-tuft, mignonette, lily-of-the-valley, forget-me-nots, pinks, phlox, live-forever, sweet william, larkspurs, white and pink musk, bleeding hearts, bachelor buttons, ragged Sally, kiss-me-over-the-garden-gate, love-in-the-mist, and many, many more. A few stalks of tomatoes with its red fruit would be found, called "Love Apples," a hundred years ago. It was then cultivated only as an ornament, as the fruit was considered not fit to eat. In the corner of the garden would be found a bush of "Old Man" for use making bouquets. A grape arbor or trellis was to be seen in the garden, and a few hop-poles on which climbed the hop plant, the fruit of which was used in making yeast to make bread. There were beds for vegetables of all kinds, and beds for herbs, to be used for medicinal purposes, much asthyme, sage, fennel, wormwood, catnip, penny royal and horehound. Along the garden fence on the inside of the garden were hollyhocks, gooseberry and currant bushes. On the outside of the fence, roses, snowballs and lilacs. Along the house the stately hollyhocks and sunflowers were to be found. Also in these yards were to be found El Campayne and Plantain for medicines and poultices. Add to this a bed of rhubarb for pies, and the old stand-by for sping tonic purposes, the horse-radish, burdock, and dandelion. These latter are classed among the weeds, but in the early days were considered number one tonics. In these early days, women were frequently called into requisition as nurses when medical help was impossible or infrequent. Grandmother Wagonner was much in demand in cases of community sickness. She always possessed a good supply of herbs, ready to relieve the minor sicknesses, aches and complaints of the neighbourhood families. The herbs she collected at the proper season, and hung them up to the rafters or walls of the room, in bunches to dry, so they would be always ready when they were needed. Grandmother Wagonner passed away in her 87th year. A small white granite stone marks her resting place in the Shoup family plot in the Baptist Cemetery, Cheapside. | Miller, Sarah (I23130)

| 4555 | From "The Mills of Walpole and Rainham" by Ross Makey The Shoup Steam Mill ..... Christian, was born in 1803. Christian, in turn, was blessed with a family that included two daughters and five sons. Christian at some point came to the realization that his children would have more opportunity to prosper up in the less populated townships to the west. It was perhaps at the local grist mill, or maybe it was after services in the local Mennonite church that Christian heard of a piece of land for sale up in Walpole township. The 200 acre lot was still unimproved and it had been owned since 1802 by a local man, recently deceased, named Christian Vinecke. (Vinecke's daughter Fanny, incidently, had married into the Hoover family at Selkirk). The 200 acre lot was near what is now the hamlet of Springvale. Christian Shoup bought it for what seems like a fire sale price of only 50 pounds. The date was March 5th, 1845. The Christian Shoup family came to Walpole exactly half a century after old Martin Shoup had first set foot on Canadian soil at Niagara in 1797. Two years later in 1847 Christian spent another 50 pounds and bought the northwest quarter of lot 10. This plot was 50 acres and it adjoined Christian's original purchase. This "fifty" had a good water supply and it was to become the site of the main farmstead. In 1853 the "50" just east of the farmstead became available and Christian bought it, too. The Shoups were hard working and industrious people. Within a decade they managed to transfer a bush lot into a prosperous working farm. As the years passed, in fact, as the Shoup sons grew up and set up places of their own, the original block of land became several working farms. The land record books for this area show many other land transactions over the years involving the Shoups. Christian and Abigail Shoup's five sons and two daughters were all born in Willoughby township. In the year 1856 Christian Jr. was 28, John was 25, Elias was 19, Martin was 17, and Levi (the baby of the family) was 14. The daughters, both of them being older than the boys, were married and gone from the family home. Eva, 36, had married Henry Winger. Elizabeth, 32, was married to Abraham Winger. Abraham had come to Rainham Township with three of his brothers in the 1840s. About 1850 he moved to Walpole. In the year 1852 Abraham Winger bought the sawmill at Concession 14, Lot 7 from Dunham Hazelton. In 1855 Abraham was able to buy the 200 acres across the road from his sawmill. This was Concession 14, Lot 6. Abraham must have preferred farming to sawing because in 1856 he decided to sell the mill. Christian Shoup, his father-in-law, had five sons and wanted to keep them all busy. Christian decided to buy the mill. He mortgaged his farm to the tune of 250 pounds to make the purchase and the Shoup sons found themselves to be officially in the sawmill business. Elias Shoup seems to have been the one who did most of the operating at the Lot 7 sawmill. When Elias decided to strike off on his own in 1869 Christian sold the place to the Woltz Brothers who continued to run it for many years. Elias tried farming for a short while, then he became a sawyer at J. M. Porter's mill in Hagersville. Like so many other workers that followed the lumber trade he eventually went to Michigan. 1861 Census Dwelling No. 1 Frame House Christian Shoup, Farmer, Born in Canada West, Mennonist, 58 Abigail Shoup, Wife Levi Shoup, Laborer, Age 18 Michael Effinger, Laborer, 39, Born in Germany Charles ?, Laborer, 45, Born in Germany Barbery Berwick, 14, Born in Germany Dwelling No. 2 Log House Martin Shoup, Laborer, Lutheran, Born Canada West, 23 Mary, Wife, 23 Dwelling No. 3 Log House Christian Haberly, Laborer, Born in Germany, Lutheran, age 57 Edith Haberly, Wife, 52 Michael 19 Charles 16 Anna 12 Dwelling No. 4 Frame House Elias Shoup, Laborer, Born Canada West, Age 25 Rebecca, Wife, 24 Elias Barnhart, Laborer, 18 John Barnhart 6 As the years went by Christian Jr. and John drifted off to start new lives in Norfolk County. Martin went to Oxford County. This eventually left only "Old" Christian and Levi at home. Levi, like his father, was a virtual whirlwind of activity and a very progressive thinker. And it probably didn't hurt that he had the financial backing of his father. Levi bought a new steam engine and a portable sawmill. Then he built a grist mill, also run by steam. He had a Cheese factory and he built a butchery. To quote a man who knew him personally, "He was into everything." Levi was a very successful and respected man but, unlike his father, he was never the patriarch of a large family of sons. Levi had only two sons and one of them, Reuben, died young. The Shoup homestead was later taken over by Levi's other son William. It remains in the family to this day, in fact, it is currently occupied by Mrs. Fred Olds who is a direct Shoup descendant. Her late husband Fred was kind enough one day to guide me to a large granite mill stone that is lying near the old farmhouse. It is the last visible remnant of the glory days around the Shoup mills. From "Memoirs Garden" by Annie (Shoup) Brewe, a passage written by Rev. Willis William Shoup Before writing Grandfather's life, it might be stated that two brothers of his grandfather came from Pennsylvania to Canada at the same time that Christian Shoup came. They remained only a short time, and then returned to Pennsylvania. One remained in that state, Elias by name, while the other went west to, I think, Missouri, and eventually became the founder of a Community Sect. Grandfather visited this colony in all and was well pleased with their sincerity and thrift. From Early Churches In The Niagara Peninsula By Banns, Christian Shoup of the Township of Willoughby and Abigail Bernhart of the Township of Bertie married in Stamford the 20th day of March 1823 Christel Shoap is on the 1828 Census of Bertie with 2 females under 16 and 1 female over 16, total of 4 in the household.

| 4556 | " Memories " by Wilfrid Knisley Bingleman 1903 - 1998 written: December 1989 It was in the very early 1800s, this carpenter was at work in the basement of a house minding his work, never looking up at what was going on above him. German army officials were scouring the country looking for able-bodied men for the army. Seeing the man below, who had grown grey early in life, they said, "No, he is too old!" It was then that my great-grandfather, Andrew Bingleman, decided to leave the city of Ülm in Württemberg, Germany and immigrate to America so that his family would not be subjected to the German military system. Thus Andrew Bingleman (b1801-11-25 d1876-12-25), his wife Mary Shiveley Bingleman (b1802-04-03 d1880-03-19) and four children, among whom was my grandfather John Shiveley Bingleman, sailed from Germany in or about 1830 settling in New York State. When a young man, my grandfather John S. Bingleman (b 1828-07-21 d1903-07-27) came to Haldimand County, Ontario. There he married my grandmother Elizabeth Knisley Bingleman (b1824-01-10 d1904-08-04). Elizabeth Knisley was the daughter of David Knisley and Elizabeth Hoover Knisley who were born in 1787 and 1796 respectively. The Knisleys were Swiss born Mennonites in religion and about 1671, because of religious persecution, immigrated to Alsace, Holland and other parts of Europe. From there they immigrated to Lancaster County in Pennsylvania, U S A, along the Susquehanna River, finally settling in Haldimand County, Ontario. Our dad, John Henry Bingleman (b1855-08-21 d1940-03-23), was born north of Selkirk, Ontario. Aunts Catherine Elizabeth (b1851-05-21 d1930-02-15) and Mary Victoria (b1853-05-24 d1875-09-04) were also born near Selkirk. Aunt Kate married Sam Knisley and lived in Buffalo, New York, while Aunt Victoria married George Booker who lost his right arm in Michigan and stayed once at the old farm at Walsh when I was a boy. Aunts Barbara Fidelia "Dell" (b1858-04-30 d1936-02-15) and Clara Rosanne (b1866-10-11 d ) were born here in Charlotteville as well as William Alfred "Will" (b1863-06-22 d1945-12-19) whose twin, George Albert (b1863-06-22 d1864-06-31) died a few months after his birth. The original Bingleman farm was at Lot 10, Concession 4, North Part. The buildings being on the Fifth Concession Road west of the old Walsh school in the Township of Charlotteville which was incorporated as a municipality in 1850. The Township is now part of the Township of Delhi which is made up of the former Townships of Charlotteville and Windham and the Town of Delhi. Now we must approach another angle, for we had to have a mother. She was Lydia Jane Stuart Bingleman (b1859-02-13 d1941-10-07) whose origin was Scottish and was a direct descendant of the Royal House of Stuart. She was born along the Wapsipinicon River not far from an Indian Reservation in Chickasaw County, Iowa. Her father, Charles A. Stuart (b1825-02-10 d1863-06-06) was crippled by some bone disease and had made for himself some sort of wheelchair. Some time before he died, he also made the coffin he was buried in. The Indians of this particular tribe buried their dead, the braves at least, upright, their bodies from the waist up out of the ground. Cooking pots, their bow and arrows beside them and their dogs staked just beyond reach. My mother (Lydia) heard the dogs as they howled, starved and died staked near their masters. She said the squaws often came to their house, she was afraid of them and tried to hide behind her mother. The first shoes she had were moccasins made and sold by the same squaws. On leaving Chickasaw County, my mother remembered crossing the Mississippi River on a barge. In the early 1860s the nearest railway station to the Long Point District was at Ingersoll. There the family left the train and came by stagecoach to Port Rowan. They lived in town for about a year before moving down to the old Mabee homestead overlooking Long Point Bay and Lake Erie. There my mother grew up and lived until she married my dad, John Henry Bingleman, on June 11th, 1879. Between the mainland and Turkey Point, which is a mile or so long, there is a marsh area nearly two thousand acres. Years ago this was used as mutual pastureland for the local farmers. In early springtime this was always set afire and burned off to improve the pasture. When burning well, Mother said it made a light enough to see to pick up a pin in the front yard. Mother was the youngest of a family of three. Her older sister, Eliza, married a man by the name of Shaw and continued to live in the U S A and a brother Merrit became a sailor on the Great Lakes. Mother remembered well the Confederation (1867) Celebration in Port Rowan and a fire in the town the same day which destroyed a large part of the town. She was eight years old at the time. In June 1879 Dad was farming north-east of the Village of Forestville. 'Twas there Mother came as a bride to his farm-house. I remember the story of a neighbour girl, who was also very fond of Dad, coming to the house and strewing about every-thing moveable all over the place. Dad happened to come in about that time and made the young lady put everything back in order before she left. From their first farm home they moved to the old Mabee homestead on the Front Road where children Charles (b1881-05-26 d1963-06-11) and Laura (b1883-06-25 d1918-11-30) were born. Another move takes them to a farm "The Pines" in Mother's words, just east of the Village of Walsh or Charlotteville Centre as it was sometimes known. While living there, Dad and his brother-in-law bought a steam threshing outfit. Dad eventually sold the threshing outfit to his brother William who continued to "thrash" until after Audrey and I were married. Uncle Will was known as a very good thresher. Henry (b1885-09-07 d1964-03-24) and Leota (b1888-02-25 d1963-06-01) I believe, were born when Mother and Dad were living on the outskirts of Walsh. From "The Pines" farm Mother and Dad moved to the 50 acres west of Walsh, known as the "Honey Place", where brother Herbert (B1893-09-26 d1963-10-14) was born. While living there the neighbours' (Engell) house was destroyed by fire and the family - old and young - lived in with Mother and Dad and five children. Henry has told of some amusing escapades with the Engell boys. One, such as shooting a hole in the bottom of old Grandmother Engell's chamber pot with a cross-bow and not telling anyone about it until after it was used. Shortly before the 1900s, Dad bought 50 acres of slash and stumps and bush about one half mile west of Walsh and built the original house and barn. Clara and I were born there on what became known as "The Old Farm". (Clara b1899-10-16 and W K B b1903-07-16). Dad subsequently added 20 acres more, from the McCall farm, to the original purchase. It was on this same ground when Dad was in his teens that he killed his first deer. I remember him showing me the approximate spot - at the foot of the hill on the west side of the lane. Dad was a sportsman and a "dead shot" who loved to hunt and fish. When he was 17 years old while hunting he thought he heard shot moving in his gunbarrel. Placing his left hand over the muzzle to check, the gun discharged, carrying away the knuckle of his third finger. This ended his playing the violin as well as hampered his milking. I never knew him to milk a cow. To finish that story, he wrapped his red handkerchief around his hand and kept on hunting. Next morning Grandmother Bingleman asked what had happened to him and he answered, "Oh, I hurt it." Grandmother wanted to see it so it was unwrapped, the center of his hand was gone. All the doctor did was pull a silk handkerchief through the hole to remove any bone splinters - the powder burn had seared it so well that it bled but very little. Dad was also an athlete - standing six feet, and built like an inverted wedge. As a boy I grew up listening to the lumber camp and mining town stories between he and his old cronies. But, perhaps, enough of old reminiscences. | Bingleman, Wilfrid "Knisley" (I03771)

| 4593 | Bertie Township (WELLAND COUNTY, ONTARIO, CANADA) Bertie Township, Ontario, the centre of a now extinct Mennonite Church Settlement, called the Bertie Congregation Through most of its history. Into this settlement lying west of Buffalo across the Niagara River in Ontario, Mennonites migrated from Eastern Pennsylvania as early as 1788. The main centre of worship was a church one mile east of Sherkston. Property deeded in 1828 from that time served for church building and Cemetery purposes. The first church was a log building which about 30 years. By 1860 the log meetinghouse had been replaced by a brick church, which served during the greater period of strength and decline. In 1916 another church was erected on the same grounds and from it dated a revival of interest and attendance for more than a decade, when decline again set in. In 1931 the Mennonites sold this Bertie Church to the Brethren in Christ with burial privileges reserved for the Mennonite families and their descendants. The first Leader of the Bertie Congregation was preacher George Zavitz, son of pioneer Jacob Zavitz who came to Canada in 1788. Other preachers during the succeeding years were John Zavitz (1798 to 1872), John B. Hershey (1816-1904), Benjamin Hershey (1826 to 1888), Christian Hershey (1768 to 1845), Nelson Michael (1843 to 1923), Howard Stevanus, Noah Hunsberger, and Simon Martin. Bishop John Lapp of Clarence, New York made a definite contribution to the strength and life of this church by visits and oversight. In 1865 he made a conference-wide appeal in behalf of the ministerial need of the congregation. Among the reasons for varying strength and loss was the problem of leadership and the problem of language. Bertie had a few strong leaders able to promote harmony and growth. Others were less capable and a few definitely in incapable. Schism had its part and some leaders were interested in other groups and organizations. The General Conference Mennonites had a congregation for a time in the northern part of the township. The United Brethren Church took rise and grew in strength while the Mennonites hesitated on the use of English Language. The Brethren in Christ (Tunker, River Brethren) had their strong leader for Ontario in this area. And so the Mennonite Church in its hundred years in Bertie Township experienced more loss than growth, until eventually all Mennonites families have withdrawn, or become absorbed in other local organizations. . | Hershey, Benjamin Landis (I1132328)

| 4596 | Biography and Book of Willis C. Hoover Willis Collins Hoover Kurt (July 20, 1858 ? May 26, 1936) Willis Collins Hoover, History of the Pentecostal Revival in Chile translation and personal memoir by Mario G. Hoover (Santiago: Imprenta Eben-Ezer, 2000). 293 pps. ISBN: 0-9678759-0-0. The Pentecostal revival in Chile was one of the defining moments for several groups. For the Methodist Episcopal Church, it marked a definitive missiological decision to avoid revivalism and Pentecostalism and to exorcise those elements from its midst; for Chileans, it demonstrated that a Chilean church could survive and prosper; for Pentecostals it was proof that Pentecostalism was more complex than a formula of American revivalist experience. In the midst of the events of 1909-1911 (and until his death in 1936) was the towering figure of Willis Collins Hoover. Hoover had gone to Chile as a missionary with the Holiness Self-Supporting Mission of William Taylor. This was a Wesleyan/Holiness mission enterprise that was later incorporated into the Methodist Episcopal Church under the control of the Methodist Episcopal Mission Board. After the revival broke out, Hoover was forced to leave the Methodist Episcopal Church. Then, influenced by the Chileans who had experienced Pentecostal Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and encouraged by his wife, Hoover accepted the call to pastor the fledgling Pentecostal church and to guide it in its new reality. Despite the worldwide fame of Hoover and the importance of the revival, his book discussing those events, published in Spanish in 1930, was not translated for seventy years! There are probably interesting reasons why that translation was delayed, but now thanks to Hoover's grandson, Mario G. Hoover, those whose Spanish is not sufficient to read the original can not have access to the narrative. Parts of that text were published as contributions to the periodical El Chile Pentecostal before they were gathered into a book. The book is rich in primary sources. Extensive quotations are provided from the documents that deal with Hoovers judgement and condemnation by the Bishop, Methodist Episcopal missionaries and Mission Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church. However, this book is far more than a translation of Hoover's Avivamiento. Also included are translations of five theological articles written by Hoover and published in Chile. Three of these were editorials in the periodical El Chile Pentecostal. These essays deal with theological themes. The first, Ecclesia-Church (pps. 130-137), defends the separation of the Pentecostal churches from the other churches. The second, 'Christian Love,' (pps. 138-144) argues against ecumenical involvement with those who belittle the Pentecostal revival. The third, 'The Poison of the Old Serpent,' (pps. 145-151) argues that the upper classes are not privileged with either regard to goodness or evangelism. He summarized his thesis: [God] always wants that our faith be not in the wisdom of men but in the power of God (p. 150). The other two articles are translations of articles published in the periodical Fuego de Pentecostes. The first, entitled 'El Chile Pentecostal,' discussed the origin and development of the periodical that served as the primary Pentecostal organ of communication and theological reflection for decades. The second article, 'Who Are these Pentecostals,' gives Hoover's perspective on the Pentecostal movement as well as autobiographical data. Finally, and most importantly, there is the personal reflection of Mario Hoover on his Grandfather Willis Hoover. Mario's father was Carlos A. Gómez who married Hoover's oldest daughter, Helen. When Mario was but a child his father died and he and his siblings were raised as the children of Willis Hoover and adopted his name. Thus Mario Hoover's first seventeen years were spent in the home of Willis Hoover. The recollections, some telling, others poignant, others ordinary, reveal aspects of Willis Hoover that we could otherwise not know. The resulting picture does not change the standard historiography, but it does nuance the figure of Hoover. Willis Hoover died on Mario's eighteenth birthday. A useful selection of photographs is included (pp. 276-288). While the book is of significant usefulness, the true added value of this translation is the memoirs of Mario G. Hoover. These add significantly to our knowledge both of the Pentecostal revival in Chile and of the revivalist. The translated volume will now hopefully find its way to the desks of scholars of Pentecostalism. Despite the fact that it has been available for seven decades, North American or European scholars have rarely cited it. It is hoped that this will now be changed. These same scholars will be frustrated at the lack of full citations for the articles translated. It will also perhaps give impetus to new scholarly work on the beginnings of Pentecostalism in Chile. North American and European scholars who seek to classify all of Pentecostalism as an American export need to learn from this volume that the issue of the origins of Pentecostalism is quite more complicated than has generally been allowed.
