Book Description
Excerpt from Partial History of the Freed Family and Connecting Families It was my design to give you a record, not only of the Freed Family, but of all the different branches of which all our relatives are com posed. Altogether, they make a happy and. Pleasant union. I am happy to state that all of our ancestors, both male and female, with out one exception as far as I was able to asoer tain, were Mennonites But I am sorry to note that many persons that were reared in Mennonite families chose to unite themselves to other denominations. Some perhaps to have an easier way to Heaven; others again thought that even the Mennonites were not strict enough for them. And even at times large numbers left the Old Mennonite Church in a block, and started up new denominations; but, almost in variably, they tenaciously stuck to the word Mennonite as one of the prefixes, or affixes, as a nomenclature for their denomination. But are not willing to conform to the Old Mennonite confession of faith. But we have no ill will or malice toward any person or denomination. We have nothing but charity and love for all.
