The Reidenbach Mennonites split from the Wenger Mennonites in 1942-1943 over the issue of sending their sons to camp (run by liberal Mennonites) or to jail during World War II. About 35 members led by David N. Hoover refused communion which in effect began the split. They held their meetings in houses until they built a church at the old Reidenbach graveyard in 1947 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The history of splits from the Reidenbach group is traced to 1996. Families belonging to the various Reidenbach splits are traced out. Some groups moved to the Montour-Northumberland County area and into Kentucky.
