Introduction


This collection includes Lloyd C. Conrad's research into the Mennonite settlement at Stark County, and of the Beech Mennonite Church, near Louisville, Ohio. Includes correspondence, notes, genealogies, maps, etc. on various families including Krabill, Eicher...... This research was done during the 1980s, but was never completed because of Conrad's death in 1988.

Conrad's research into the history of the Beech Mennonite Church was then picked up and used by Elmer S. Yoder in writing the history of the church. This project was under the auspices of the
Historical Committee of the Beech Mennonite Church, Marion Krabill, Grace Hostetler and Arden Schmucker. The history of Beech church was published around 1992.

These papers were transferred to the Archives in 1992 by James Hostetler, Richmond, Virginia, on behalf of the Beech Mennonite Church.
