Object ID: P.96.01.1

Notes: Compare with large Esbenshade family record P.99.16.1. Hoke made Bible entries, bookplates and many large family registers in northern Lancaster County and southern Lebanon County. Large, ornate family registers made for the Amish seem to be a specialty of Hoke. He signed and dated much of his work, oftern including his home location of Quentin and later Lititz.; See file for:; 1) Stoltzfus genealogy from "Fisher Family History."; 2) Information sheet on David C. Hoke by Russ and Corinne Earnest "Papers for Birth Dayes."
