The Oscoda County, Michigan, Old Order Amish Settlement dates back to 1900, when four families, Sam Weaver, Jerry Troyer, John Weaver, and Christ D. Miller, moved into the neighborhood of Mio in Oscoda County from Geauga County, Ohio. A congregation was formed in 1901 with the following as ministers: Emanuel Schlabach, David Nissley, Jacob Gascho, Yost Yoder, and David D. Schlabach (ordained as bishop in 1903). The following have served in the ministry since the beginning: Jacob Gascho (ord. 1908) and Levi S. Troyer (1939), bishops; Daniel Miller, Sam Weaver, and Ben Schlabach, preachers. About 60 families both from eastern and western states moved to Oscoda County. By the 1950s the Amish began moving away. The membership in 1956 was 20.
