public a history of waterloo no attempt is made to give a detailed history but only of such as formed the most conspicuous part in the assistance of forming the early settlements a brief sketch of the antecedents of those hearty pioneers would not be out of place during the beginning of the six teenth century while state persecu tions were carried on in almost every country in europe the so- caued 1nonconformst3 in all countries northern italy france switzerland germany holland poland denmark and even russia were very cruelly persecuted and subjected to all manner of suf fering such treatment from the hands of the leaders of governments and states caused these noncon formists to cast their eyes west ward for a new home where they might serve god according to their spiritual views andto the teaching of the bible these non-con- formiststaufgeslnnten in germeny waldenser in switzerland and france and vaudois in italy advo cated strongly against all manner of warfare and would therefore un der no circumstances whatever bear weapons of war or take part in mil itary operations nor could they be prevailed upon to the taking of oaths in court they also advocate strongly against infant baptism in 153g simon menno renounced his con nection with the roman catholic i church of which body he was a priest soon after his seperation from that body he was met by a number of persons whom he des cribes as being of one heart and soul with himself and these non- conformists etarnstly besought menno to take upon himself the ministery of the gospel he became powerful instrument in the hands of god to spread the true teachings of the bible later on all the non- conforists of holland germany end denmark were called menno- nites these people were continually persecuted and harrassed by the various governments but in midst of all their trials and sufferings they prospered before the end of the century these mennonites numbered their adherents by thousands in various countries on the continent of europe but the persecutions be came so great that these unoffend ing people were forced to emigrate to places where religious toleration prevailed thus we find that in 1700 the first mennonites came from holland and settled in germantown near philadelphia and were soon followed by others of their faith from germany and switzerland etc these settled in berks franklin bucks and montgomery counties where at present great numbers of their descendents are still living in the year 1709 sevenal families came from pfaltz originally from switzerland and settled in lan caster county and were followed by many others in eight or ten years afterwards most of these people were poor and had to endure many hardships in their new homes in the midst of all this they had firm re liance upon their heavenly father who contorted and sustained them in all thoir trials here they enjoyed all the religious liberty and privil- ages by perservance and industry they made for themselves the most excellent homes no places on this side of the atlantic can be found to equal much less surpass some of these counties which wore first settled by these people in the course of time when the population of pennsylvania became rather too dense for an agricultural community it was found necessary to seek homes in newer and more thinly populated places settlements were made by these people in virginia maryland ohio indiana and other places all these emigrants still how ever retaining their identity and comparative exclusiveness from all other classes of the community in all those new pkces the most mark ed success as usual attended them no other class of settlers were ever known to be so universally success ful they have always hard the ex traordinary fortune to select the very best part of the country in which they settled and with those natural advantage they iconbined their great industry which has ever resulted in making the state and province in which they settled the best to be found in the year 1798 when those parts of pennsylvania which were settled by continental europeans had becomo so populous that it was impossible for all to ob tain land at home some families from bucks and other counties de cided to emigrate to the wilds of canada where it was reported there were excellent tracts of land for farming purposes although these people did not take any part in either side of politics yet their sym pathies leaned toward the crown during the revolutionary war and immediately after peace was rest ored and tho independence of the thirteen colonies declared hundreds of these people and others called u e loyalists loft their homes and property in the now republic and travelled to british territory to the north of the lakes and river st lawrence the cause of this may have been the great faith they had in the british government in ful filling their promise made to them one hundred years jprevlously in granting them exemption from milit ary services and
