Albert Harshbarger was a School Principal in the area -and kept many
records of the Ladoga Churches. His son, Dick Harshbarger, is Econ Prof at
Manchester College. Albert died several years ago at Timbercrest Home at N
Manchester, I don't know if Dick has the records of his father, or if maybe
Fern Baldwin has any of them in the archives:

The Ladoga Churches have ceased to exist -mostly since Al left!!!
