Here's a youtuber about a Mennonite group in Elmira. I don't know if the person creating the vid is himself Anabaptist or if he's an amateur cultural anthropologist.

Re: Elmira Ontario Group
Hmm. Interesting to say the least. I recognize most of the backgrounds and some of the people. My father and my in-laws both live within five miles or so of Elmira. Cleason Martin is my wife's first cousin, though she is probably almost embarrassed to admit it. I could say a lot about him, but it wouldn't be profitable. Suffice it to say that he certainly isn't the best choice of spokesman for the Old Order groups.
Harvey Gingerich I know, but only to see. I've bought more than one suit from Brown.
I guess the video is accurate enough, from an outside perspective. It's not what I see when I go back to Ontario, but that's okay.
What's your take on it Appleman? It's your stomping grounds too. I want to listen to it again.

Re: Elmira Ontario Group
Two things wrong with that video. It was not taken at the prettiest time of year for this area and I agree Cleason is not the best spokesperson that he could of got.
Otherwise though it is not to bad. I also know many of the people pictured on there and I think at about 7:48 of the film you can actually see a bit of our apple plant although the sun is partially blocking it. I spent 35 years of my life attending that farmers market. We gave up our stand the year before it burned down. Based on that I would say the film is about 4 and a half years old already.

Cleason turned 60 in January of 2013 if that helps to date the film.appleman2006 wrote:Two things wrong with that video. It was not taken at the prettiest time of year for this area and I agree Cleason is not the best spokesperson that he could of got.
