    They belonged to the Old Order Mennonites until 1917 when there was a split in the church. At issue was how strictly to enforce "shunning", the practice of avoiding and having no fellowship with non-repentant members of the church who, ultimately, would be excommunicated. Tilman and Elizabeth joined the off shoot of the Old Orders who became known as the Dave Martin Mennonites. ... In the fall of 1929 Tilman was excommunicated from the Dave Martin group - the reasons are not clear. Elizabeth remained a member of the Dave Martin group until her death in 1931.

    Probably the best-known Mennonite potter of the region was William K. Eby. Eby, whose father Potter Sam taught the trade to him and his brother Cyrus, bought 10 acres of land with an existing pottery on it a half-mile south of Conestoga where he established the region's longest-running pottery business, Conestogo Pottery.

    WILLIAM K. EBY.

    Here is a familiar character in this section. He was born on the old Eby homestead (now the property of William Scheifle and where the latter lives), on July 31, 1831. He has lived in the vicinity of Conestogo all his life excepting two yeara that he was working at his trade in Markham. He learned the pottery trade with his father, the late Samuel Eby in Waterloo, years before he had reached maturity. At that time Waterloo contained only one store kept by Daniel Snider. He also recollects the time when not a building stood upon the present site of Conestogo. His father was familiarly known as "Potter Sam" to distinguish him from other relations of the same name. Another was called "Indian Sam," he being a popular trader among the Indians. The subject of my sketch was married, when twenty two years of age, in 1853, to Susinnah Detweiler, who was born August 8, 1832 They had nine children. He is of Swiss descent, his grandfather, the late George Eby, coming from Pennsylvania to Canada, where his father, Samuel M. Eby, was born in 1805. Mr. Eby has been a resident of Conestogo for about forty years. Here he has conducted his pottery and tilled his small farm of ten acres. He is an expert mechanic in his trade and can turn out almost anything in the pottery line, has now on hand quite a number of fine specimens of his handiwork, and disposes of a large amount of his work in the course of a year. His memory is remarkably keen and he is not averse to imparting information regarding the early days of this section to an interested listener.
