This church was situated on the present site of the City building, corner of South Pearl and Howard streets, then known as Washington and Lutheran streets. As before stated, it had been owned by the church since 1680. The street leading to it from State street, was a narrow lane that for many years extended no further than Beaver street, at which was an angle in the stock- ades, where was erected a blockhouse. It is within the recollection of persons still living, that a gate swung across at State street, obstructing the entrance to this lane. The annexed engraving is here inserted to show the locality and its surroundings in 1695, a period about twenty-five years after the Lutherans had built a church and parsonage on this spot, and ninety years before the church was rebuilt, and these records begun.
12th Sept. 1786. Deeds were exchanged between the mayor and corporation, and the trustees, embracing a small lot of land in Washington now South Pearl street, " for an aere on the hill where the hospital formerly stood." This was what now forms the site of the State HIall, and of the church on line and Lodge streets, with the inter- vening space since planted with trees. It was an iul-

mense pile of clay. A similar square of like material, adjoining on the east, was donated to the Catholic church, and thus Luther and the pope were placed side by side, and continue to maintain that amicable juxtaposition to the present time. The ground thus acquired by the city was for the purpose of widening South Pearl street, in the centre of which, as the street now runs, the church stood.
The real property of the society consisted at this time of a church, a parsonage adjoining. and a lot renting for 12 10%. per annum, and five lots renting for 82 2s. 6d. each. Also six honse lots in the second ward adjoining Duke [State] street, with a house and barn, leased to one Ashmore. Another lot renting for 22 10s. and a bury- ing ground adjoining. The personal property consisted of debts amounting to $30; a pewter tankard, a pewter bread box, an iron bread mould, a silver chalice, a small silver plate, a table cloth, a napkin, for the sacramental services; a tankard and oval dish of pewter, for baptism ; a pewter plate for gathering ahns ; a small funeral cloth ; a small chest for the books and papers of the officers. The society was in debt nearly £200. The New York pound was $2.50 of our present currency, at which rate all the sums mentioned in these records are to be reckoned.
About this time Mr. Martin Hebeysen became a men- ber of the board of trustees, and was one of the notabili- ties of the church for many years. He was a native of Zuettlingen, Germany, a blacksmith by profession, who

died in 1827, aged 89, leaving no posterity, and was buried in the cemetery of the Dutch Reformed church. It is said that he strenuously opposed the abandonment of the German language in the services, and when the change was made he ceased to attend church ; but one of his friends attended at his house and read a sermon to him in his native language, during his declining years. His signature is here given in fac-simile. as it stands in the book of records.

Sept. 27, 1787. Christian Ehring having resigned the office of treasurer, the archives were placed in the hands of Charles Newman. A meeting of the church officers was held, consisting of Martin Hebeysen and Charles Newman, trustees; J. G. Geyer and Conrad Ruby, elders; George Klink and Gottlieb Friedrich Brown, deacons; when John Hath was elected grave- digger at the stipulated price of 25 cents for a child's grave under six years of age; 372 cents for a child between six and sixteen ; and 50 cents for an adult. Mr. G. F. Brown accepted the office of prelector, or reader, without. salary, and to give notices at funerals, at the price of 50 cents for a child, and 25 cents additional for

the use of the pall ; for an adult, 75 cents. Mr. J. G. Geyer accepted the office of singer for such sum as might be given him by the members.
March, 1788. Johann C. Friedenreich came into the board of trustees, and was for a long time one of the most active and influential members of the church. He came over from Germany in Col. Breymann's corps of Bruus- wiek Grenadiers, and accompanied Burgoyne's expedition from Canada ; was severely wounded at Saratoga, and brought to this city. He fixed his residence here, mar- ried Eva Fetherly, and at the celebration of the adoption of the constitution, which took place in 17SS, he joined the procession with a carriage drawn by two horses, on which a cordwainer's shop was erected, in which himself and his journeymen and apprentices appeared at work, dressed in white, with aprons, yellow sashes and cockades. He afterwards kept the principal meat market in the city, carrying on a prosperous business, which has been fol- lowed by all his posterity to the fourth generation. The pastors of the church were usually entertained at his house, and Drs. Hartwick and Kunze were often there. Ile advocated among his countrymen the policy of adher- iug at once to the manners and customs of their adopted country, especially of cultivating the English language, and allowed no other to be spoken in his family. In 1792, the legislature, then sitting at Poughkeepsie, passed a special act of naturalization in his case, instead of exact-

ing the customary fee. He died 27 March, 1821, aged . 69, and his funeral was attended by the members of the Mechanic's Society. Ilis residence was on the north corner of South Pearl and Bleecker streets. Ilis signature appears often in the records, of which a fac-simile is here given.
In Dec., 17SS, several members of the board gave their individual notes for various sums to satisfy the creditors of the church for work done upon the parsonage, and Mr. Moeller, the pastor, agreed to give the church credit for £30 of his salary four years without interest.
In 1789, the common council appropriated five acres of ground between Eagle, State, Hawk and Lancaster streets, for a burial ground for the only four societies then in existence, having their cemeteries adjoining or near their respective churches, namely, the Dutch Reformed, the Lutheran, the Episcopalian, and the Presbyterian. The Lutheran ground comprised the property on Park street, the remnant of which was recently sold and invested in the new church edifice. The trustees accepted of these lots in March, 1790, and ceased to bury near the church on South Pearl street.

26 August, 1796. " It was agreed that the church chist should be compleadet cgain with three different locks." This furnished each trustee with a key (J. Conrad Ruby, Daniel Pohlman and Martin Hebeysen). Thus the chest could be opened only when all were present. The precaution was not peculiar to these trustees, but is found recorded in the usage of other ancient institutions.
The following record was entered by J. C. Ruby, clerk of the board : " It hath bin omidet to insert that the Trustees J. Conrad Ruby and Martin Hebeysen con-

The Pedition was generously Exepdet and Grandet. They went with their Pedition to all principle Citizens first and so in their Turns called upon every Christian Citizens on the 28th August, 1796. But the subscribed Donations have not bin called for till the third and fourth week in August, 1797, and with the Blessing of God the bell is put into the stippel of Ebene- zer church and fully paid with the collected money. The bell cost 55 pound, the hanging thereof cost 15 pound."
Other expenses were paid to the amount of .£7 : 17 : 10; in all £77 : 17 : 10. The whole amount collected was £8-1 : 17 : 2, or $212.16. This bell was first used as an alarm bell on a British man of war, and weighed 288 1bs. It was transferred to the church on Pine street, and in 1850 cracked, when it was sold for about $SS, and a new one procured, as large as the tower would admit, which was about 1,000 1bs.
17 Feb., 1798. The trustees of the church removed the remains of John Christopher Hartwick from Livings- ton's Manor, where he died two years before, and buried them under the church, placing a " sepulehre stone" in the floor, in front of the pulpit. These remains were removed to the church on Pine street in 1816, and the tablet

placed in the floor there, in front of the pulpit ; and it is now in the same position in the lecture room of the new church. The following is the inscription in defec- tive German. It may have been correctly written in the German character, and engraved by some one of another nationality :

The entries of Mr. John C. Ruby are so quaint as to add very much to their interest, wherefore some of them are given in his own words. 25 July, 1798. " The citizens had bin Invited to hear the Rev. Mr. Quittman deliver a sermon in Low Dutg. Mr. Jeremias Van Rens- selaer attendt to Devine worship the same thime, and seeing our church unfinished, proposed to have our Gal- lery paintit out his own Benevolencey. Then the same thime the Trustees consendet that he might complet and finish the whole church with the overblus of the fourthy pound of Hardwig's Sepulcher Grantet to the church, and the church was compleadet and finished so as it ap- pears this day."
26 Aug., 1800. It was reported that the church had been painted at an expense of £102:7s., and was in debt £40 : 16s.
9 Feb., 1801. It was announced that Christopher Ruby had been elected a trustee in place of John Conrad

Ruby, deceased. The lots on Pine street now produced an income of £12. In August of this year, Dr. John G. Knauff became a trustee.
The trustees were now engaged in taking upon them- selves the trusts of the Hartwick estate, and preparing to ercet a seminary on a portion of the cemetery grounds where Park street now is.
9 Sept., 1802. John G. Geyer was voorsinger (or chorister) at a salary of eight dollars a year.
24 Feb., 1803. JJohn Huth (written also Hood ) was bell ringer, and his salary was increased to $S dollars a year. He died in Nov., 1806, bequeathing his folio Bible to the church, and it was used in the pulpit.
S June, 1803. Isaac Bogart, Jr., presented the church with two double brass chandeliers for the pulpit.
20 Dec., 1803. It was resolved that the dead in fu- ture should be deposited in the new cemetery, west of Knox street, and all interments should cease in the old cemetery on Park street. The bodies in the old ceme- tery were at the same time ordered to be removed to the new one, and Christopher Ruby was appointed to employ persons to do the work.
At a meeting of the trustees, Sth Jan., 1804, it was resolved that the payment of all salaries said to be for teachers and scholars in the Hartwick Seminary should be stopped. It was soon after determined to decrease the number of elders and deacons, and to increase the

number of trustees to five. William Gefferd was elected deacon. This name is often spelled Keffert, and finally was transformed into Gaffers. He died in 1812. Dea- con Gefferd wrote his name in so ornate a character, that it is thought important to preserve it in this memoir, and it is accordingly given in fac-simile. He was a nephew of Martin Hebeysen, and inherited his property.
The trustees petitioned the common council for a deed of their old burial ground, and also to have the level of Deer (now State) street, fixed, in order to enable them to lay the foundation of their proposed academy.
They also applied to the officers of the Episcopal church to join them in opening a street between their respective cemetery lots, as had been suggested by their late rector, Mr. Ellison, to be called Lutheran street ; but as the dead had not been removed from the Episcopal ground, no arrangement could be effected. Whereupon they resolved to build their academy upon the line of the
119

two burial grounds. They also applied to the legislature . for the transfer of the Hartwick estate to them.
29 Aug., 1806. Twenty fect of ground was given to form the street now known as Park street.
In 1807 the common council made a demand upon the trustees for .£28, principal and interest, for 100 loads of stone taken from the old fort for building their church in 1786.
The Rev. Frederic G. Mayer began his ministry this year, under a call for three years.
30th Nov. At a meeting of the board of trustees, present, Martin Hebeysen, Daniel Pohlman, Jr., Christo- pher Ruby, and John Knauff, " Resolved, That no corpse that was not a member of the congregation at the time of death or the nearest relation thereof, shall be buried in our cemetery without a previous resolve of admittance by this board.
" Resolved, That cach family shall pay for its ne- cessary seat, not exceeding one whole pew, one dollar for those on the sides, and fifty cents for these on the isles, for one year, to be paid yearly.
" Resolved, That $12 shall be paid to tho sexton."
1808. The board resolved, that as they found it im- possible to execute the trust committed to them by the delivery of the Hartwick estate, without being bound in contradiction to the will of the testator, they would rede- liver the property into the hands of the surviving testa-
120

tor, "and accordingly retransferred the said estate im -. mediately."
1810. The term of the call of the Rev. F. G. Mayer having expired, he demanded a "perpetual call," which the board was reluctant to give. But they seem to have acceded to his terms, and voted him $750 a year.
Nov., 1811. John G. Knauff was elected organist, which is the first mention of an organ. For this service he was to receive $100 a year. The church and organ were insured in the London Phoenix Insurance Company. Martin Hebeysen, who had been treasurer a long time. resigned. Christopher Monk was clerk of the board. James Merrifield was employed to attend the English services as singer, at $30 a year.
1812. Christopher Monk was employed to oversee the grading and paving of Pine street at 75cts. a day, and to be paid Tets. a load for removing the soil.
1814. Jacob Myers, the treasurer, died and was suc- ceeded by Harmanus Henderer. Christopher Monk was collector of the revenues of the church at a salary of twenty dollars. John Tiescy was sexton at a salary of twenty dollars. The organ was repaired by William Redstone at an expense of $100. John C. Goldsbergh was organist at $100. Henry F'. Beune was elected elder, with John C. Feltman, who was also elected trustee.
1S16. The trustees resolved to sell their property fronting on Pearl street, including the Fly market, for
121

$32,000. The market house had been removed in 1807; from its original location in Broadway, south of Maiden lane, to this locality, and a portion of the identical structure now forms the corner of IToward and William streets, parcels of it having been from time to time taken from the south end, and new structures erected upon the site. They immediately began to build a new church on Pine street.
1817. Henry Newman was elected trustee in the place of his father, Charles Newman, deceased, who had held the office ever since the incorporation of the society in 1784. The latter came to this city about 1781, and entered into business as a glover, paying, according to the custom of the time, £3 : 12s. as a license to pursue his calling. IIis descendants continue an extended business to the present time, and constitute the oldest house doing business in the city without change of location.
28 June, 1819. Ilarmanus Henderer resigned the treasury of the church, and Henry Newman succeeded him in office, at a salary of $50, giving $2,000 bonds ; and John C. Feltman gave $1,000 bonds as collector, at a salary of $10.
29 Aug., 1821. The pastor's salary was raised from $825 to $1,000.
26 Nov., 1831. Mir. John C. Feltman had acted as clerk and collector for many years. The minutes, while bo kept them, contain merely a very short notico of the

quarterly elections, and the amount of money in the hands of the treasurer. He had attained very little skill in writing English, and the business of the board is there- fore made to appear quite trifling in amount, and mono- tonous. On this day, however, there is an entry intended to be pungent, which is quoted in his words and ortho- graphy, showing his proficiency as a clerk ; yet he was a very honest and trustworthy officer.

At the meeting in February following, Jacob S. HIen- derer was appointed sexton, and a very formal agreement was made with him as to what he was to do for the sum of sixty-five dollars which he was to receive.
16 April, 1833. John C. Feltman was succeeded by George II. Kerker as clerk and collector, at a salary of $80. Mr. Kerker was an excellent clerk, and the minutes were very well and more fully entered in the book kept for the purpose.
123
HISTORY OF THE CHURCHI.
23 Aug., 1833. A meeting of the minister, elders, deacons, and trustees was held at the house of the pastor, F. G. Mayer. Present : the pastor, Daniel Pohlman, Law- renee Hallenbake, J. Bernhard Garling, John C. Feltman, Henry Newman, George H. Kerker, William Hosch, David Zch. The object of the meeting was to take a vote of the officers of the church on the question of a union of the Evangelical Lutheran churches with the Reformed German Lutheran churches in the United States. The deputy to the next meeting of Synod, Con rad S. Mayer, was instructed to vote against such union by the unanimous voice of the church officers.
7 Dec., 1833. Proposition to purchase the lot fronting on Eagle street 185 feet, and 38 feet on Pine and Sten- ben streets, and an adjoining lot on Steuben street 28 by G8 feet, was made by E. Croswell. The trustees offered the premises for $5,000, conditioned for the erection of a State house, and subject to the lease of Frederic Van Wormer.
26 May, 1834. The treasurer reported $6,223.90 in the treasury, and the trustees, at the suggestion of Mr. Newman, began to build on Capitol, now Park street. The minister, elders, and deacons, reminded the trustees that they had exceeded their powers in selling the church property without the consent of the congregation, and in order to induce that consent, demanded a portion of the proceeds of the sale to be used in the erection of a suit-

able lecture room, an enlarged organ, and a new bell: The trustees made a spirited reply, denying the request, on the ground that they had already appropriated the money to the building of four houses on Lancaster street,
30 July, 1834. The corporation of the city made ad- vances for purchasing more ground for the new State house, and the trustees, fearing that the whole would be taken on appraisal for public purposes, agreed to sell the 28 feet lot on Pine street adjoining the Bissell lot, as it was called, recently sold to the state, running back 102 fect to the half lot on Steuben street, already sold, fixing the priec at $1,300. But the common council deter- mined to take the whole property, 123 feet. 43 inches on Pine street, leaving the church 63 feet 33 inches on Pine and 57 feet on Steuben. The church being 40 by GO feet, there remained ample space for present purposes. The property taken was appraised at $9,475, and the church was assessed $1,545.14 upon that amount; so that in effect the church contributed about one-sixth of the ground taken.
26 Aug., 1835. The trustees having $8,6-11.68, in the treasury, commenced building a lecture room and parson- age on the rear of the church lot, at a cost of $3,890.
Thirty-eight Germans applied to the officers of the church for aid in supporting a minister, Mr. Moellman, to . preach in German - Mr. Mayer, now doing that duty for them once on Sunday, after preaching twice to his own

congregation. The trustees paid Mr. Moellman $50: They soon after applied for and obtained permission to worship once on each Sunday in the church in German, without charge. It was also discovered that the Germans had entered into a conspiracy to take up the pews in such numbers as to out-vote the advocates of English preach- ing, and turn the services into German. It was counter- acted by the trustees resolving not to lease more pews.
1838. The trustees procured a new organ at an ex- pense of $2,175, disposing of the old one at $300. Philip A. Mayer, son of the pastor, was reappointed organist at a salary of $160.
In 1837, the trustees erected two dwelling houses in Park street at an expense of $6,680; and in 1839, con- tracted for four more for $8,320. Their real estate now consisted of 11 brick dwelling houses, including the par- sonage, and three lots on Park street under lease, and three fronting on State street.
. 1S March, 1810, Philip C. Hayner resigned the office of sexton, and Justus Bender was appointed, at $60 cash, and the rental of the basement of the Lecture room at $25; in all $S5.
8 Oct., 1810. George II. Kerker was succeeded by John C. Feltman as clerk and collector, at a salary of $125. IIenry Newman was treasurer and president of the board of trustees.
126
HISTORY OF THE CHURCH.
7 April, 1842. The German congregation was aided. by the amount of $200 from the church fund.
31 Dec., 1812. The Rev. Frederick G. Mayer died at the age of 59, having officiated 37 years.
18 July, 1843. The elders, deacons and trustees, resolved to call the Rev. Henry N. Pohlman at a salary of $1,500 and a free house. The vote on this call was Aye : Henry Newman, Robert Waterman, Henry T. Mesick, Stephen V. R. Ableman, J. Bernhard Garling, Conrad S. Mayer. Nay : John C. Feltman, William P. Koons, Jacob Eckhoff.
Jan., 1814. It was resolved to lease the square pews at $10 a year ; the side pews at $6, and the centre pews at $5. These pews were high boxes, containing a great deal of superfluous timber. About this time lamps were procured for the church, and new stoves.
13 Dec., 1817. Henry Newman resigned the office of treasurer, which he had held 28 years, and was succeeded by Charles S. Frink at the former salary of $50 per annum.
The trustees now resolved to sell $10,000 worth of its property to pay its debt, and repair the church. There were but about fifty pews in the church, which produced scarcely sufficient income to support the choir.
9 Sept., 18IS. It was resolved to reseat and upholster the pews, to adopt a better mode of heating the church, to light it with gas, and otherwise improve it.
127
HISTORY OF THE CHURCHI.
Mr. Henry Newman retired from the board, which now consisted of Henry T. Mesick, G. W. Benjamin, Frederick C. Gombel, C. S. Frink, Myers Henderer, trustees ; J. Bernhard Garling, Wm. P'. Koons, elders; Theophilus Roessle and John Fredendall, deacons.
An ineffectual effort was made to reduce the pastor's salary to 81,000. The expenses of the church had greatly increased, and so much of the property on long leases at low rents, was covered by poor tenements, inhabited by such a class of squalid families, that the three story brick tenements owned by the church with difficulty found tenants at $150 a year. These also required constant repairs, which consumed half the rents.
The trustees passed a vote of thanks to Mr. John C. Feltman in consideration of his faithfulness in the discharge of the duties of his office for a great number of years, but which he now resigned. Myers Henderer was elected in his place, as secretary, collector and general agent, who was soon after succeeded by Harmin Visscher. Under the excellent management of Mr. Visscher, the property was put in the best possible state of improvement, and its revenues greatly increased.
Upon the advent of a new pastor in 1868, and in view of the dilapidated condition of the church edifice and the favorable opportunity, which seemed to have arrived, for a vigorous movement to place the society upon a new van- tage ground, the trustees resolved to submit to the cen-
12S
HISTORY OF THE CHURCHI.
gregation a proposition to sell the remnant of the church property, and invest the proceeds in a larger edifice, as has been previously mentioned. A meeting of the church council was called to deliberate upon so important a move- ment. The council at this time consisted of Rev. Samuel P. Sprecher, the pastor, ex officio president of the board ; Henry Falke, Jasper Van Wormer, Peter Foland, George W. Knowlton, Joel Munsell, Thomas Van Aernam, Isaac S. Van Woert, trustees; Andrew Bonner, Charles Agne, John Fredendall, elders; Joseph II. Kennedy, Gustavus W. Scholl, deacons. They determined to ven- ture upon the experiment - an experiment that was crowned with the most eminent success.
