  • Notes 
    • John Eby, "was born October 1st, 1840. He is married to Elizabeth Lawson and has a family of six children, two boys and four girls. He resides in Elkhart, Indiana, U.S., where he is engaged as a minister of the Gospel in the United Brethren Church. In his calling he is doing a good work for the Lord, having been very successful as a minister. Sinners are converted and brought to the Lord through his labors, and the people of God are generally greatly refreshed in spirit while listening to his able sermons."
