"On Feb. 24, 1912, my parents were made happy by the arrival of a second little daughter. Of those first years I remember very little. One spring day in March, when I was five years old, I walked to school with my sister. I remember wearing a red poplin dress. In the evening we walked home, but in the opposite direction, for my parents had moved that day to another farm, the first farm they ever owned . . ."This collection of writings by and about Clara Yoder Miller has been gathered by her children and grandchildren, in honor of her ninety-ninth birthday.
Moses Yoder (1814-1890), Amish, and Barbara Miller (1814-1884) were married in 1838. They had nine children, 1840-1856. The family lived at Arthur, Illinois. Descendants listed in Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, and elsewhere.
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)
Weaver-Zercher blends academic analysis with her own experiences of researching, reading, and talking with others about Amish fiction in order to explore the phenomenon, with particular attention to the hypermodernity and hypersexuality that are fueling the appeal of the genre for evangelical Christian readers.
