  John H. Engle 
  
  MECHANICSBURG John H. Engle, formerly of Campbelltown, died Tuesday, August 31, 
  2010, at Messiah Village, Mechanicsburg. He was born in Newtown, Rapho 
  Township, Lancaster County, on September 26, 1913, the son of Mary (Hoffman) 
  and Edgar Engle. After his father died in 1918, he lived with his aunt and 
  uncle Lottie (Hoffman) and Abraham Engle near Bainbridge. John attended Messiah 
  Bible College (1932-1934) and graduated from Elizabethtown College in 1936. He 
  married Anna Ruth Kreider on August 10, 1937, and they had been married 65 
  years when she died in 2002. They lived in or near Campbelltown, for most of 
  their married life and moved to Messiah Village in 1985. He taught German at 
  Messiah College for seven years, and worked at The Continental Press in 
  Elizabethtown for twenty-six years. He was active in the Palmyra Brethren in 
  Christ Church, where he taught Sunday School and served with Anna as a deacon 
  couple. He served on the Palmyra School Board for sixteen years. He had a 
  strong interest in the history of the Engle Family research genealogy with his 
  sons at the Engles' ancestral home in Röthenbach, Switzerland. He loved to 
  garden and passed along his knowledge of the natural world to his children and 
  grandchildren. John and Anna worked as volunteers at Kenbrook Bible Camp and 
  Messiah Village for many years, and loved hosting family reunions at Kenbrook.
