Wolf Creek COB no longer exists. Was torn down around the turn of the
centruy and pieces used in the construction of the Eversole COB (n. of
Farmersville) and Salem COB (n. of Clayton, OH)which wer formed by the Wolf
creek congregation. The church was located 2 miles s. of Brookville just
off Wolf Creek Pike on the way to Trotwood. The Landis Cem. remains on the
original grounds. Daniel Holsapple and his wife are buried there. Today
there is the Wolf Creek German Baptist (Dunkard) Church (formed after the
split) just down the road, still on Wolf Creek Pike. Yes, it's a "two
door".

Some years ago we came up that way to a Zumbrum(n) Reunion (at Columbia
City IN, as I remember). Madelaine put together a book on the Zumbrun's
(several hundred pages). Then a fellow out in Maryland ordered a copy, to
put it in with a larger book on the family. We have never seen any such
result -heard nothing (didn't even repay us for making the copy!!). She
has it stored away somewhere, garage I think.

As I remember the family came from Thurmont MD to the Wolfe Creek Church,
near Trotwood OH. Her particular family then moved over north of
Greenville, near Union City/Ansonia OH. Her family spelt it with the "n".
