Co., MD Con. & Franklin Co., PA by DRL, p71,72)Jacob had moved to Eastern OH about 1820 with his parents. (The Yellow Creek Mennonites, p145,146) Mary and Jacob were 19 years of age when they married and they had seven children. In 1833, Jacob was ordained by Bishop Jacob Nold at the Midway Meetinghouse of Mahoning Co.,OH for the Columbiana-Mahoning Mennonite congregations. (Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, vIII,#4,Oct. 1980) Jacob was a farmer by trade, and went into the threshing business of which some of his members didn't like. At this point he decided to move to NW of the later Yellow Creek Meeting house on C.R. 36 (now) of Harrison Twp., Elkhart Co.,IN in the spring of 1848 where land was cheaper. In the first Mennonite Church service that was held in Elkhart Co., IN, Jacob had the main sermon which was preached in German. Jacob was ordained Bishop in 1851 . He was the first active bishop in IN. He was known as a good-hearted and earnest christian. Later, as a result of some younger men wanting to bring newer ideas into the church, he organized the Old Order Mennonites which is also called the Wisler Mennonites. (The Record of the Old Yellow Creek Cem., Entry 220) 2Catharine Knopp E 1819-d11/19/1888 of Eastern OH. Catharine was the housekeeper for Jacob and Mary before Mary died. Burial: East Old Yellow Creek Cem., Row. 10 (The Record of the Old Yellow Creek Cem., Entry 218) Jacob did not care for evening meetings, Sunday Schools, or bass singing, but stayed to the way he was raised in Bucks Co.,PA. The services were sung with the old German hymns without parts...just the melody. Services were held in German every two weeks in the forenoon. The Yellow Creek Mennonites, p146) It made contention when a new ministers moved into the area and wanted to add new programs and evangelistic preaching more like the Methodists. Jacob was made Overseer of the Yellow Creek District of about 450 members. Jacob was also one of the preachers that took turns preaching services in the schoolhouse every four weeks for the Mennonite families that had settled in Locke and Union Twps in the vicinity of the Culp Schoolhouse [1 1/2 miles NE of where Nappanee now is.]. (The Yellow Creek Mennonites, p112) He contributed to the 1875 building fund for the Holdeman congregation in 1875 where several congregations contributed.

Foraker of Harding Co., Ohio and located on the land of Samuel Yoder, which was located 1 mile east and 1 mile south of the present Foraker.  The Chicago and Canada Southern Railway bought land from Samuel Yoder & Jonas Kauffman in 1872.   Work was started on the Wabash Railroad  in 1891.  In 1893, Samuel and Jonas died, never seeing a train come through Foraker.  The railroad did not want to put the station at Foraker, but a mile west and north, so it was decided to move the town.  The new town of Foraker was also built on land of Samuel Yoder once inhabited with frogs the greater portion of the summer season.  The old Foraker consisted of one store, which was built and operated by Noah Yoder, son of Samuel Yoder.  In the spring of 1893, Noah moved his store on a pair of skids and with the use of horses from Old Foraker to the new Foraker and Noah Kauffman then took charge of the store and run it for some time.

Vining & Rebecca Catharine Stooksberry) Notes: Owned & operated a farm, was a logger at Kempster,Langlade,WI- Note:  Noah built and operated the only store, a General Store, in the old town of  Foraker.  After the railroad decided to build the train station a mile north and a mile west, it was decided that Foraker should be moved to the new site.  Noah moved his store on a pair of skids and with the use of horses from Old Foraker to New Foraker.  Noah Kauffman then took charge of the store.  Work trains began showing up.  On April 27, 1893, the first freight train ran over the Wabash--a west bound freight No. 97, had a few cars, old hand brakes, link and pin couplers, and a small engine.  (My great-great uncle Nils Svenson invented the car coupler that is still used today, see Mansson Genealogy, Entry ?) On May 30, 1893, the first passenger train Number 54 was run going eastbound.  Foraker Station was opened the same year.  In 1893, buildings began to pop up everywhere.  Noah Yoder erected a new store building on the southwest corner of the junction.  Noah operated the general merchandise store for awhile as well as was postmaster in the same building.  Another building was erected against his store, and later on Noah took possession of this building, enlarged his store by cutting a large door through the walls between the buildings and throwing both rooms into one store.  When Yoder sold out, the door was blocked up and became two stores again.  There were living quarters above the store but we don't know if Noah ever lived there.  Solomon Miller and Noah Yoder were the main stays at Foraker in its early history.  Solomon and Noah erected a building just south of the little old harness shop and after its completion, they put in a stock of buggies and wagons.  Later, the building was made into a church.  Another friend of Noah's, John Detwiler, had a blacksmith shop just north of the railroad tracks on the west side of Main Street.  Detwiler also put up the first dwelling house which ended up being the third house east of the depot.  John Detwiler and John Blenis put up a cider mill next to the blacksmith shop and did an enormous business.  Later, they sold the business to Noah Yoder who run the cider mill two seasons and then sold out to George Wernitz, who moved the mill.  Noah Yoder, John Detwiler, Emmanuel Kime, Lorento Kime, Earl Mishler, and Clarence Mishler then moved to Kempster, Wisconsin.

An aged mother, a fond husband and six children, and a large concourse of relatives and friends followed her to the grave. She suffered much during her sickness, which she bore with patience and resignation; though at times her mind was much bewildered, she still seemed to have a firm reliance on God and a well-grounded hope. It was my privilege to visit her during her illness, but found her so feeble that it was thought she could not be spoken to with profit. She recognized me and seemed glad to see me, and after I had bid her farewell and left the room, she called for me again, desiring to hear words of admonition. Her funeral sermon was preached by J. M. Christophel, Daniel Brundage, and the writer, from Isa 38:17. (Herald of Truth, 9/1867)

She had been ill for about eight weeks but was bedfast only ten days. During these days of distress she was patient in her suffering, very considerate of those who cared for her, and was fully resigned to the course that lay before her.

In 1918 he was called to the office of bishop, and was given the oversight of the Nappanee, Salem, and Yellow Creek congregations. As a minister and as a bishop he always endeavored to render the best possible service to the brotherhood under his care. His constant desire was to labor as a servant rather than as one exercising authority, with the thought that obedience should be rendered because of faithful teaching and understanding of the Word rather than because of harsh discipline, desiring that the Church might prosper and become more God-like. It was often said of Bro. Christophel. that when some one came to him for advice the person always was given something helpful and worth while. His chief concern and burden was the welfare of the churches in his charge, and he labored to the end that they might prosper and live in peace. He was a kind and loving father and will be greatly missed by his many friends and acquaintances. Only those who knew him best could understand his burdens and sorrows, as he devotedly and unselfishly labored for the unity and welfare of the church and community.

He united with the Mennonite Church in early life and about 11 years ago was ordained to the ministry and was a faithful laborer in the vineyard of the Lord. His earnest admonitions and his devoted zeal in the cause of Christ and his Church, will be longed remembered. He will be greatly missed not only in his home but also in his neighborhood and in the Church. On Saturday afternoon, the 6th of October, though somewhat indisposed, he attended the examination meeting at his Church, about a mile from his residence. After his return home he sat down with his family to the supper table to take the customary evening meal, lifting his heart in prayer and thanksgiving to God for the tender mercies of His hands, after which when about to partake of the bounties which a heavenly Father had bestowed, his hand suddenly lost its strength, his tongue became speechless, his mind unconscious and his whole right side was palsied, and in this condition, without being able to speak or recognize any one, he lay for six days, when death relieved him of all his sufferings; but we need not mourn as those who have not hope, believing that our loss was his eternal gain. He was buried on the 15th. An immense concourse of people followed the remains to their last resting place at Yellow Creek Meeting-house, where services were held by Jacob A. Beutler from Luke 2:29, and John F. Funk and Martin Hoover from Numbers 23:10 last clause; a kind husband and father, a good neighbor, a faithful minister and sincere Christian has been called from the toils of this sinful world, and our prayer is that He may comfort the sorrowing household, and raise up another laborer to fill the vacant place in the Church.
