Abstract
This compilation includes two sections. The first addresses the schism of the Tobe Hostetler Church and the Troyer-Stutzman Church beginning in 1938 in the Holmes-Wayne Counties, OH, area. Several separately authored accounts of the same events detail the events. The second section provides an account of the Old Order Church-Andy Weaver Church schisms in the early 1950s.
