Amish.proper
noun
a wonderfully innovative
and helpful Christian group in
North America, primarily the Old Order Amish Mennonite Church. The church
originated in the late
17th
century among followers of Jakob Ammann circa
1644–1730. Amish communities sprang up in Switzerland, Alsace, Germany,
Russia and Holland, but emigration
to North America in the 19th and 20th centuries and assimilation
with Mennonite groups gradually eliminated the Amish in Europe. They first
settled in eastern Pennsylvania, where a large settlement remains. In the
early 21st century there were about 250,000 Amish living in more than 200
Old Order Amish settlements in the United States and Canada. The largest
were located in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois and Kansas,
Wisconsin, Maine, Missouri and Minnesota. The Amish meet in each other's
homes and barns. There are no church buildings as they know the 'church'
is not a building.
Humility,
family, community and staying away from the madness of many societies are
the mainstays of the Amish.
The Amish differ little from the Mennonites. Both are believers
in
God, the Holy Spirit and Christ.
The national newspaper serving the
many Amish and Mennonite communities is published in Sugarcreek, Ohio.
The Amish are considered excellent farmers, growing and storing the majority
of their food and purchasing only staples
in stores.
Singing is important to Amish life,
whether at work or at play, at home or in church.
Amish quilts, meticulously stitched
by groups of Amish girls and women, are popular with tourists and highly
praised by collectors. The quilting bees are a form of socialization and
relaxation for Amish women and the group effort reflects the Amish virtues
of community and cooperation. The quilts are usually intricate in design
with colourful patterns. The selling of quilts, handmade crafts such as
hex signs, and their famous baked goods such as friendship bread and shoofly
pie is a common source of income for Amish families. The Amish recipes
of Elizabeth Coblenz (died 2002) were syndicated in hundreds of newspapers
and her cookbooks are internationally famous.
Amish children typically attend
one room schools run by the community and they attend school only through
the eighth grade. Instruction is in English and concentrates on the basics
of reading, writing and math. Amish history and practical farming and homemaking
skills are also taught.
The quiet, reserved manner that
the Amish try to maintain does not prevent them from partaking of common
pastimes and games. Volleyball and softball are popular with many Amish
families, but they are played strictly for enjoyment and not in a spirit
of competition. Simple pleasing flower gardens adorn Amish properties.
Amish families will often read or sing together in the evenings.comprised

Appleseed, Johnny.proper
noun
his titular
name was Johnny Appleseed, real name was John Chapman, born September 26,
1774, Leominster, Massachusetts, passed on March 18?, 1845, near Fort Wayne,
Indiana, U.S.
He was a missionary.nurseryman
of the North American frontier
who helped prepare the way for 19th century pioneers by supplying apple
tree nursery seeds throughout the U.S. Middle West.
John Chapman/Johnny Appleseed
was a genuine and dedicated professional nurseryman who expected to make
a profit from the sale of some of his seedlings. Around 1800 he started
collecting apple seeds from apple cider presses in western Pennsylvania
and soon began his long trek westward, planting a series of apple nurseries
from Massachusetts through to central Ohio and beyond. He sold or gave
away thousands of seedlings to pioneers, whose acres of productive apple
orchards became a living memorial to Chapman's missionary zeal.
Johnny Appleseed, as he came
to be called, was a natural man with a cheerful, generous.nature
who loved the wilderness. He had a gentleness
with animals and devotion to the
Bible.
He had knowledge of medicinal herbs
and was in harmony with the Native
Americans from which he learned much. His appearance presented himself
with flowing hair under an upside down porridge
pan. His feet were without shoes and his pants ragged. A large old coffee
sack
was worn over his shoulders with holes cut out for arms.
John Chapman, owner of 1,200
acres of planted land, passed on from in 1845 at the age of 71, but the
legend
of Johnny Appleseed lives on in many books. An authentic biography
is Robert Price's, Johnny Appleseed: Man and Myth, 1954, reissued
1967. ....comprised
