Cora Garber Dunning herself copied the record of the family of John Mohler and Magdaline Rinehart Mohler from the old German family Bible then in possession of his grandson, Dr. Henry Mohler, of Grattoes, Virginia.

"John Mohler and Magdaline Rinehart, had issue as follows:

    "Hannah, b Dec. 11, 1800, married Beddows," (moved to 
        Elkport, Iowa). 
    5005--"Magdaline, b Dec. 23, 1801, married Martin Garber," 
        (moved to Bellefontaine, Ohio, then to Elkport, 
        Iowa). 
    5003--(Jinny) "Christina, b Aug. 3, 1802, married J. G. 
        H. Raines," d in Virginia. 
    5002--"Jacob, b Jan. 13, 1804, married Jane Grigsby." 
    5004--"(Hetty) Hester, b Aug. 4, 1805, married Henry 
        Weade." 
    "Elizabeth, b July 3, 1807." 
    "Lydia, b July 3, 1809. 
    5001--"Abram, b Mch. 10, 1812, married Betsy Null. 
    "John, b Mch. 21, 1814. Died young. 
    "(Sally) Salome, b April 27, 1816, married Benjamine 
        Showalter. 
    "Ann, b Sept. 12, 1818, married Erasmus Fitch," (moved 
        to Elkport, Iowa). 

All the women of the John Mohler, the second, line, even down to the year 1921, have been famous for the quality of their cooking. Not only the good old dames Mohler, of the Shenandoah Valley, but also their descendants have ever been famous for their poise of bearing, their charm and innate kindliness, their constructive community interest, and the largeness of their hospitality. Magdaline, as were her sisters, was cared for by her colored "mammy" in her tender years.

The strain of Dunkard religion has left a marked effect upon the character and lives of all the individuals of all generations of this family, whether they adhered to its tenents or not.

So far as is known, no member of either the Mohler or Mohler-Garber families has ever been convicted of crime or confined in an insane asylum. Divorce was unknown for generations, with only a rare case in the present days of marital discontent. This seems to have been the family ideal: "Better endure the ills you have than fly to those you know not of."
