Videos of John's Little House & Other Stuff

 

Daniel E Hochstetler, the editor of our Jacob Hochstetler Family Association’s newsletter took extensive video of our Jacob Hochstetler family history in Fall ’97, which included major footage of John’s Little House. We are fortunate that Dan took this video since in June ’98 John’s Little House suffered major damage by the tornados that wreaked devastation in this part of Somerset County, PA.
