Yellow Creek Old Order and Wisler Mennonite meetinghouse, located slightly south of the Yellow Creek Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church (MC)) in Elkhart County, IN, was built in 1861, renovated about 1900, and enlarged in 1954. After the Wisler schism in 1872, the Wisler and MC groups alternated in the use of the building until 1912, when the MC congregation built its new meetinghouse. In 1907 the Wisler Mennonites divided into two groups, the more conservative Old Order or Martin Mennonites who do not permit telephones or automobiles, and the Wisler or Ramer Mennonites, and these two groups now alternate in the use of the old Yellow Creek meetinghouse and the Blosser meetinghouse (built 1891). The ministers in the Ramer group, which in 1958 had 200 members, were William Ramer bishop, and Paul Hoover and Joseph E. Martin (formerly the bishop in the Martin group) preachers; the ministers in the Martin group were William G. Weaver bishop, and Enos Martin, Henry E. Martin, and Harvey Horst preachers, with a membership of 100.
