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.
  		Orthodox Mennonite Meetinghouse, Wellesley Twp Anson and Sarah Hoover took part in the first Orthodox Mennonite congregation, east of Linwood, from its birth in the early 1950s to 1976. This building, no longer used, was built on a lot bought from Daniel Bearinger, in 1962.
