History of the Church of the Brethren in Indiana by Otto Winger; written in 1917.
Adam Ebey
Adam Ebey was the fifth of fourteen children born to Cornelius and Susan Huff Ebey. He was born near Wawaka, Indiana, August 12, 1866. He took an -interest in the work of the church at an early age and gave his heart and service to God. He attended Mt. Morris College two years, where he prepared for teaching. His father's death in 1890 placed many additional cares upon him as the oldest of his mother's sons.
In March, 1896, he was called to the ministry. Feeling the -need of better preparation, in the fall of 1896 he entered Manchester College, where he completed the Bible course in 1899. One of his teachers here was his future companion, Sister Alice King. Their interest in foreign mission work was mutual. September 5, 1900, they were united in marriage and sailed the next month for India.
In India he was stationed for many years at Dahanu. Here he has been unusually active in service. While he had never studied medicine as such, yet the great need for such work in his territory caused him to offer such help as he could. For several years he treated many thousand cases annually. Besides this he had charge of work similar to that of other missionaries.
In 1908 he was in the homeland on furlough. He served on the Standing Committee at the Des Moines Conference. He was anxious to return to India, where he spent another eight years of service. Failing health necessitated his return to America in 1916. Again he is anxious to regain health sufficient to return to his field of labor.

Church of the Brethren's 1884 Gospel Messenger includes a report from an Adam Ebey of the Springfield IN church:
"We, the brethren of the Springfield church, Ind., held our Love-feast on the 14th of June. We truly had an enjoyable time, although rowdies had a noisy time, outside. Our meeting began at 4 o'clock. After a good sermon, we had a short intermission; and then the examination services. The ministers present from other churches were J H Miller, Jer. Gump, David Hostetter,
Daniel Riggle, Levi Hoke, Daniel Rothenberger, Jos.EBEY,
Leonard Hyre, and Jac. Swihart. Elder J H Miller officiated.
On Sunday, we had praching at 9 A M and 3 P M - One precious soul united with God's people. May he help her to be a faithful child. --ADAM EBEY."
I hope these folks belong to somebody. Love Feast is the Brethren communion service, complete with footwashing. I don't know about the "examination services," since I never heard of it before.
- Thanks for this information. The Springfield IN church is now known as the
Wawaka, Indiana Church of the Brethren. Adam Ebey was the son of
Cornelius Ebey, grandson of Thomas and gr-grandson of David Davis/Davies Ebi
of Stark County, Ohio. Adam was a pioneer missionary to India and
brother to my grandfather Enoch. The land for the Wawaka Church was given
by Cornelius from his farm and I think is about an acre in size.
The examination services was a process or service asking everyone to examine
themselves prior to the lovefeast. Traditionally, the deacons were to visit
everyone in the congregation prior to lovefeast to see if they were "still
in the faith of their baptism" and even at times, whether any relationship
issues needed resolving within the congregation prior to lovefeast.
