Biography

Samuel C Stump was born in York County Pennsylvania August 15 1825 In 1835 he moved with his father to near Eaton Preble County Ohio where he grew to manhood Here he married Miss Sarah McFadden April 1847 Shortly after his marriage he moved to Wells County Indiana at a time when that country was yet a wilderness and where hewing a home out of the primeval forest meant much hard labor and perseverance and the endurance of many privations and hardships He was a man well qualified for such a task as he was by nature endowed with an iron constitution and indomitable energy But his time here was not wholly absorbed in building an earthly home and laying up earthly treasures He bethought himself of his duty towards God and embracing faith in Christ he and his wife journeyed back to Ohio to receive baptism of Elder Minnich of the Brethren Church This event took place before the name German Baptist was recognized as the legal name of the church.
