My gggrandparents and ggrandparents are buried at the Pleasant Hill cemetery.
They were COB and came from the Miami Co., OH area in the 1860s. The Hubers,
Snells, Vanimans, Harshbargers, Brubakers, Stutsmans, Cripes, Coffmans,
Grieders, and many others are all intermarried and are cousins to some degree.

Ann, we are probably cousins.. My ggrandfather was John Huber (son of Henry
Huber, Mennonite preacher, and Elizabeth Shank) and his wife was Anna Snell,
daughter of Jacob Snell and Barbara Harshbarger.
