J. C. Mohler is a modest man of broad culture and untiring
energy, as seen from a letter to a friend, of July 25, 1917:
"Your philosophy that there will be work to do when I am dead,
and men to do it, too, is sound, and I am not at all backward about
breaking away from the daily grind. At this time, however, we not
only have the Board's work to conduct as usual, but in addition a large
share of the work of the State Council of Defense (time of World War)
is on our shoulders, and as this institution has no funds of any sort,
we are practically carrying a double load; so the present time is not
opportune for such excursions, so far as we are concerned."
3005--Susanna Mohler, daughter of Henry Mohler, married Dr.
Benedict Bucher (Mch 30, 1784; Penn. Archives, Vol. 6), had issue:
4001--Lydia Bucher; 4002--Christian Bucher; 4003--Anna Bucher;
4004--Jacob Bucher; 4005--Susanna Bucher; 4006--Veronica Bucher;
4007--Rev. George Bucher; 4008--Samuel Bucher; 4009--Elizabeth
Bucher.
4004--Jacob Bucher had issue: 5001--Christian Bucher; 5002--George
Bucher, who is still living.
Rev. Geo. Bucher, under date of Jany 30, 1921, writes in brief: "I
am of the fifth generation of Ludwig. I am 77 years old. There are 17
preachers in Dunker churches named Mohler. * * * I had correspondence
with J. L. Mohler of Grottoes, Va. * * * You will notice
the 'lost John' ('John, Jr.' of Ephrata) was only lost to the Ephrata
Mohlers."
Rev. Bucher has been a power in his generation--known best by
his published "Discussion of the Pennsylvania 'Garb Law' in Relation
to Teachers," published, 1908.
This ends my data on the line of Henry Mohler, whose
descendants largely clung to the old Dunker faith and spent
their lives around Ephrata, in Lancaster County, Pa.
DESCENDANTS OF GEORGE MOHLER
1--Ludwig Mohler
2--George Mohler, son of Ludwig, according to the
J. L. Mohler tree, left three daughters.
The tree of Rev. Aaron Gibbel gives--3001--Mrs. Mellinger,
his daughter. There is no further data available on
the line of George, which I have found. But I have not delved
for it. It is likely that a study of the archives of Ohio and of
Maryland would reveal the whereabouts of many of the
Mohlers who have not been traced.
