C. Zechariah 1:5 "Your fathers, where are they? and The prophets, do They live forever?"
Death is not only solemn and sad at times, but real. It bears the young and old, the high and low, the fair and lovely, the sinner and saint away as surely as the coming and the going of the years. "The fathers where are They?" but sleeping in their quiet beds of earth; and "The prophets" and pastors, are lying in their midst. Thus, the generations come and go; and we also shall by and by, be gathered with the dead. One of the great features of The Christian's Life is, that it has to do with earth and Heaven; Man and God; The Church here and The Church There. It is a part of time: The rest embracing all eternity. The life that we live here is known to us; and partly to others: The life "hereafter" is the unknown and untried future.
Here we make a few footsteps and leave a few footprints, and the weary journey is ended. It is the Christian's part to gather up the facts and the "fragments that remain;" work them together and make them "intelligent and tangible." The christian's task is mixed with pleasure and perplexity. It is like gathering flowers in a beautiful garden, or hunting for a rose on The Thorny Mountian. For the History of This Congregation, it has been a difficult task to gather facts: as The Church records are few and, most all local Tradition is lost in The "chaos and silence" of the past. With the meagre materials at hand we shall do the best we can. ONAL GENEALOSH

Among the earliest Lutherans who settled in 'The Wilds" of Indiana County was the family of John Conrad Rice, who removed from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and located near the present town of Indiana in the year 1794. The home of Conrad-Rice occupies a prominent place in the history of the Lutheran Church in Indiana County; for it was under his roof that the first public worship of God by Lutherans, in this county was held. To Mr. Rice's home the Rev. John Michael Steck of Greensburg, Pennsylvania came four (4) times a year and held services for the Lutherans of the county who could attend during 1798 and 1799. Rev. Steck may also have continued a yearly visit to this county from 1800 to 1813 as I find one recorded statement to that effect. He had served Lutheran Churches in Bedford and Somerset Counties from 1789 to 1792; when in the later year he removed to Greensburg and became a missionary in the west part of Pennsylvania. Then a comparative wilderness. Rev. Steck died at his home in Greensburg, West- moreland County, July 14th 1830, in his 65th year. I added a short sketch of his life in Appendix "A".
The first re ular Lutheran pastor who located in this county (Indiana), was The Rev. John Gottfried Lambrecht, a graduate from The Gymnasium of Gottingen, Germany. He came to the town of Indiana in the year 1813 and organized , or may possibly, have re-organized The Lutheran Congregation at Indiana. Rev. Lambrecht also visited the community of "Brush Valley" during the years 1$13 and 1814 and held public services in private dwellings in this immediate neighborhood; notably at the home of Peter Fry east of and adjoining the present church property. Among The "original settlers" of this neighborhood were the Bower's; Roser's; Millers; Fry's; Howard's Steinman's; Keller's; Tyson's; Overdorff's; Heine's; Coy's; Cramer's; Truby's; Leininger's; Empfield's; Creswill's; Altemuse's and DeArmy's coming mainly from cast of The Allegheny Mountians ranging from the years 1790 to 1815.

Rev. Lambrecht ceased his ministry here at "Brush Valley" July 1815. After his resignation there is a vacancy of several years, although there is a tradition that a man attempted to impose himself upon the people as a regular, ordained Lutheran Minister, during the years 1817 and 1818, but that he did not succeed.
We have next two ministers who served as supply. The "Brush Valley" and Indiana congregations, which now formed one pastorate. viz, Rev. William Shultz 1819 to 1821 and Rev. -- Moehler in 1821. We now reach the most important period in The History of The Congregation. The Ministry of Rev. G. A. Reichart and the organization of the present congregation and the ERECTION OF "THE OLD LOG CHURCH". Rev. Gabriel Adam Reichart became pastor of this congregation, as well as that at Indiana, August 1st 1821. From the beginning of public services in this community about 1813 or 1814, up to the close of Rev. Reichart's ministry in 1827. The preaching was exclusively in the German; English services hoing introduced at long intervals, at first, by Rev. A. G. Sharretts, between the years 1827 and 1837. Within the History of This Congregation of Eighty (80) odd years, three (3) church buildings have been erected. It can not be definitely stated in what year the first building called "THE OLD LOG CHURCH" was erected; but most probably during the year 1821; if not earlier; for the Deed conveying the land on which it was built (now forming the main graveyard), bears the date January 26th 1822; and states also, that the house was then in existence. This was the first Lutheran Church erected in Indiana County; and antedates its sister Church in the Charge about nine (9) years; as the First Lutheran Church in Indiana was completed in 1830.
The land on which "The Old Log Church" was built consisting of one (1) acre was purchased of Peter Fry and his wife, Catherine for the sum of #400; by Jacob Soryer, and John Tyson, Trustees for the Congregation. The deed for this land -- dated January 26th 1822 -- was acknowledged before John Evans, Justice of the
4
Peace. This acre of land was part of a large tract located in what was then called Wheatfield Township and was "surveyed by Warrant dated December 31st 1773, in the name of Isaac Gray and joining lands of Obadiah Smith; John Story and others". In passing I would state that the original surveys of land in this immediate neighborhood were made by Obadiah Smith, John Story and Isaac Gray about the year 1773-75 -- The "Smith" survey was East of the 'Gray" survey and the "Story" survey North of the same; the wad leading to Mechanicsburg being nearly on the line between the last two. This deed states that this "Said Lot (acre) of ground was for the use of all those persons concerned as a place of Public Worship, on which is erected a house for said purpose, hereafter to be known as 'Fry's Meeting . House'; and also for the use of schools for the education of youth, and for no other purpose". It was the first church erected in this section of Indiana County -- The Old (John)"Fry Meeting House"; on the Daniel Miller farm, about one mile south of Mechanicsburg, was the second church built in this part of the county. The .
"Old Log Church" was built of small logs; slightly hewed. Valentine Keller and Daniel Fry cut and hewed most of the los, as well as assisted in the building of the church. "Chunking and daubing" were placed between the logs, and hewed logs pinned to the sleepers by wooden pins made the floor. Two windows were on each side of the building, having 4 or 6 small pares of glass. So far as I can learn from the oldest living members, the size of the church was about 16 or 18 feet in width, and about 22 or 24 feet in length; and was located in the old grave yard; lengthwise along the road leading from Nolo to Mechanicsburg -- a rod or two back from the road and about midway between the two front corners of the graveyard. It was about nine feet in height; one-story; the ceiling being the slab roof; the pulpit was at the East gable and; and, the door at the West end in the center. The first pews were made of hewn slabs similar to benches. At first for heating the church they used the old open fire-hearth and log fire; but latterly used a
5
(large "Ten-plate-stove"; for lighting the church at night they used the old style "fat-lamp .*
It is my opinion that Rev. G. A. Reichard organized this congregation about November 1st, 1822; or if not on this date, then on January 11th, 1823. He was a regular ordained minister of the old "Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Pennsylvania, and was commissioned and sent by This Old German Synod as a "Missionary to the Scattered Lutherans of these parts". His first ministerial act that I find recorded by himself in The German, was the baptism of twenty-two children (22) August 1st, 1822, in The "Old Log Church": The twenty-third (23rd) infant baptism recorded was performed November 17th, 1822; immediately preceded by a statement in The German, written November 1st, 1822, which I think Pastor Reichard means to stand as The Organization of The Congregation. In a foot-note I give the first (10) ten infant Baptisms recorded with the date of births *. Rev. Reichard administered the first Holy Communion he held here, in the Old Log Church", on January 12th, 1823, when seventy-four (74) persons communed. This number included four(4) members from the Congregation at Indiana and also forty-four (44) persons who were Confirmed by Rev. Reichart on Saturday previous, January llth.

About January 1, 1833, Rev. Sharretts organized The Lutheran Congregation at Strongstown with 24 Charter Members: nine of whom, at least, were from this congregation to form the new organization, which was made an integral part of the charge. Rev. Sharretts was the first pastor to introduce English services; he frequently preached both German and English at the same service: about every four weeks: and sometimes on Saturday's. He died at Indiana, Docember 31, 1836; after a ministry of 9 years and 2 months. Aged 34 years, 1 month and 11 days. His remains rest in The "Oakland Cemetery" at Indiana, Pa. to await the resurrection of The Just. He was a good man and a faithful servant of Jesus Christ. I give a sketch of his life in the attached Appendix "3". A summary of his ministerial acts here, embraces 56 Confirmations; 99 Infant Baptisms; and 20 Marriages.

Rev. J. Brown, succeeded Rev. Sharretts as Pastor of the Indiana Charge in 1837: The Charge then embr ced the 3 congregations at Brush Valley"; Strongstown; and Indiana: with most probably the Congregation at Blairsville. I find no confirmations or communions recorded in this congregation by Rev. Brown.
The Rev. Jacob Medtart followed Rev. Brown taking charge March 1, 1838. I find recorded during Rev. Medtart's ministry.

On May 28, 1842, Rev. Medtart organized the "Salem Lutheran Church" of Smicksburg. This County, whilst he also served The "Plun Creek" congregation- Thus, the Indiana Charge then consisted of the 5 following congregations. viz. Indiana; "Brush Valley"; Strongstown"; Smicksburg, and "Plum Creek": The pastor residing in Indiana. About the year 1842 Rev. A. Babb took charge of the Blairsville congregation.
On June 13, 1840 the following persons were elected Church Officers, the first I find recorded. viz. Elders-Samuel Wagely and George Weller Deacons-Philip Coup and Edmund Paige Deacons -- Jacob DeArmond and Daniel Cramer Rev. Medtart resigned here about October 1, 1842, and was succeeded by the Rev. David Adams, who took charge Nov. 1, 1842, During Rev. Adam's ministry the propriety of building the Second Church was agitated, but owing to some business difficulties he resigned Sept 19, 1844, and removed; afterward engaging in the practice of medicine. I find no records of his ministry.

Rev. Henry Bishop took charge of the Indiana pastorate in 1843, and began his ministry with this congregation Nov. 1, 1944. During the last 3 years of his ministry, 1847, '48, and 149. The Indiana Charge consisted of only two (2) congregations. viz. Indiana and "Brush Valley" with occasional services at Strongstown.
SECOND CHURCH BUILDING -- "BRUSH VALLEY"
The Secon Church building, dedicated with the name "The ' Brush Valley' Evangelical Lutheran Church" was erected during the year 1845; and most probably finished in the summer of 1846. It was a frame building; about 40 by 45 feet in size; and located in The Graveyard a little east of the "Old Log Church". The Building Committee were Samuel Gulden; Jacob Dearmond, Adam George; Nicholas Altemus, Sr., and Jacob Shultz (probably)
Samuel Shultz of Strongstown had the contract for the carpenter-work at about $100.00, which did not include the pews: The finishing and painting of the Building. Samuel Roser, Sr., built the Foundation-wall; and Frederick Herlinger put in the pews and finished the church probably during the spring and summer of 1846. Rev. Riser, then President of the Allegheny Synod in his annual report to the Synod, Sept. 1, 1846 says: "Brother Bishop informs me that two (2) new churches have been built in Indiana County during the last year; one at Smicksburg and one at "Brush Valley!". This second church was named "The ' Brush Valley' Evangelical Lutheran" from the fact that it was located in "Brush Valley" Township. This Township was taken from Wheatfield Township in 1835. The timber along the streams was short and was compared by the early settlers of this section to "Brush": hence the names of "Brush Valley" and "Brush Creek".
