EV. A. J. KIBLER was received at the Valley Conference held at East Liberty, Page county, in 1863, and in 1864, he was secretary of the Conference at Joppa, and likewise secretary of the Conference at Antioch. He founded a church at Cedar Grove, but it finally declined and was re-organized under a now name. At the Conference at Bethlehem, in 1868, he was on the presbytery that ordained Rev. W. A. Dofflemyer.

      At the Conference at Edinburg, in Shenandoah county, Virginia, in 1869, a sum of money was raised for his benefit, the same to be applied in the purchase of a horse. At this time a division of the Conference [350] occurred. In 1870, he was president of the Central Conference at Mt. Zion in Page county, and at Newport in Page county, was re-elected president in 1871, and again president in 1872. In 1896, the Conference recorded the death of Rev. A. J. Kibler. It is said that he was an able expounder of the truth, a fearless advocate of it against error. For a long while he was connected with the Christian Church, and stood as a watchman on the walls of Zion, and was a valiant defender of the cause.
