Summary
"In addition to offering a biography of Harry Franklin Stauffer [1896-1982] the journal traces his printing career which began in 1915 when he was employed with Silas Bard's Denver Press. In later years Stauffer operated the print shop of Weaver's Book Store, Lancaster. Following his retirement from Weaver's he established a private press-the "Conestoga Press"- for the purpose of demonstrating the art of printing at the Kutztown Folk Festival. The journal also records the restoration of the historic Ephrata press at the historic Ephrata Cloister." [from the Journal of the Historical Society Of The Cocalico Valley]

Abstract: Many Pennsylvania Mennonite families trace solid ancestral lines back to immigrant Mennonite and Amish ancestors. Not so for members of Mennonite Lind families, the first of whom settled in Pennsylvania in the 1940s. This began a continual Mennonite Lind presence in Pennsylvania or, for some years, with Lancaster's mission outreach in Africa. Their immigrant Lind ancestor, John "Philip" Lind, arrived in the United States single, a young man of the Moravian faith. He soon married Elizabeth Whitesell, also a Moravian, and they lived in several Pennsylvania locations. Their son Jacob Lind, born near Nazareth, Pennsylvania, went west and settled in Ohio, where he met and married Maggie Ziegler Boyer and became a convinced member of her Mennonite faith. It is Mennonite descendants of their son Norman A. Lind who made homes in Pennsylvania.
