Will Creek by Rev. James A. Sells

Jacob Studebaker Senior died 1847. That left the congregation with only one minister, Andrew Miller. He was a good man, loved and respected by all who knew him. His oldest son, Jacob, who frequently assisted him in ministerial work, was in 1850, called to fill that position. This is the Jacob Studebaker MIller who started the school in Buffalo MIlls in 1852, which places him among the pioneers of educational work in the Brotherhood. His school house was also used for religious services. Jacob Miller, the son, died May 11, 1853. This was a hard stroke on the father and one from which he never fully recovered. He died December 1855. His widow died 1860.

The WIll's Creek Church was unique. From the first, it's members were interested in the education of their children and all though it's history it was far in advance of most of the congregations of the day. They went by the name of Brethrn Church, not Dunkard. To this day people there use this term.
