Some Famous People called Noah Troyer
Noah Troyer
Noah Troyer (February 18, 1831 - March 2, 1886), was an Amish Mennonite farmer who preached while being in a state of trance and who was seen as a "sleeping preacher".
Noah Troyer was born in Ohio in 1831. He married Fannie Mast of Holmes County, Ohio and had six children with her. In 1875 they moved to Johnson County, Iowa and bought a 160-acre farm there, three miles north of Kalona in Washington County, Iowa, which immediately adjoins Iowa County, where the Amana Colonies are situated. At that time, the Amana Colonies were the main American settlement of the religious community of the Inspirationalists, also known as the "Community of True Inspiration", who had brought trance preaching to North America.
After being ill for several days in March 1876, one evening Noah Troyer started to talk at some length while being asleep. Later he could not remember his talking. These states of trance continued for about two years and became more accompanied with cramping and convulsions. In 1878 he started to preach at some length in an unconscious state at the Amish Church. This preaching in an unconscious or trance state continued and he became generally known as a "sleeping preacher". Normally he preached for one to three hours. An article of the Herald of Truth reported on 15 May 1882 that he had preached together with John D. Kauffman (1847-1913), who was also an Amish "sleeping preacher", both in an "unconscious state", Kauffman after Troyer, each for about two hours.
On the morning of the 2nd of March 1886, Troyer died in a hunting accident.
