History of Koinonia excerpts from Eberly Interview - 1991: -

Koinonia was acquired at an estate sale in 1962 by a “coalition” of 12 couples under the leadership of Hubert Newcomer.  The names of all of the owners are on a plaque in the nature study entry.  They had in mind using the facility primarily as a retreat center.  They built the original cement block part of the building.  They did a lot of tree and wildlife plantings.  Some of the area was farmed for a time and the income used to pay the interest on the note.  All of the members paid a fee to belong.  The work was done by the members.  Ray Piper was the stone mason who laid the blocks and built the fireplace.  The original dimensions of the building were 25 x 100.

In 1974, the 80 acre site and buildings were given to Manchester College with the understanding that the college would continue to allow the use of the facility as a retreat center and would also use it for environmental education.  The name of the facility is officially Koinonia Environmental and Retreat Center.

The new road was the first major improvement to the facility.  Work was done in cooperation with the SCS.  A soil study was made for the area and a plan developed for use of the land.  They also provided many of the trees and plants that are along the drive.  It was also during this period that the building was expanded to its present two story  100 x 40 floor size.

Small Eberly notebook with notes about Brethren history and publications.  He outlines the family line of Chirstopher Sower and Sower’s printing company.  It is hard to follow what sometimes appear to be contradictory notes. Perhaps this is how the succession goes?

Peter Leibert took over the original Sauer company in partnership with his son-in-law, Michael Billmeyer [1784-1787].  Michael ran the same press alone from 1787-1814.   

1784 - 1787 – Peter Leibert and son-in-law Michael Billmeyer. (Liebert & Sohn [son])

1787 – 1814 – Liebert & Sohn – it was the same press that Michael ran alone.

1819 – 1830 – Michael’s 2 sons, Georg and Daniel Billmeyer – Philadelphia took over and were not Brethren.  They created a new press [1788 – 1796]. These dates are conflicting.
