REV. CHARLES ALLABOR BUTZ, A.M., was born near Alburtis March 14, 1874. At the age of nine he removed with his mother to Sham- rock. He attended the public schools, and later the Kutztown State Normal School, at Kutz- town. In the fall of 1893 he entered Ursinus College from which he was graduated with hon- ors in the spring of 1899, taking high rank in German. He represented his class and his literary society (Zwinglian) in various literary and ora- torical contests. He was a member of the edi- torial staff of the Ursinus Bulletin for two years and the artist for the college annual "Ruby" for 1898. In the fall of 1899 he entered the Ursinus School of Theology and from which he was gradu- ated with honors in the spring of 1902. During the senior year he won a special prize in Church history. While a student in the seminary he pur- sued a special course in psychology at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. He was licensed to preach the gospel by Lehigh Classis, in Trinity Church, Allentown, and on August 1, 1902, entered upon the work of the holy ministry in the Towamen- sing charge, East Pennsylvania Classis. Here he attained splendid results. The standard of be- nevolence was raised, a new congregation was organized at Bowmansville and a Sunday school started at Palmerton, which has since developed into a promising mission. In the fall of 1903 he received a call from the Bethel charge, Lebanon Classis. Before leaving the Towamensing charge he collected the greater part of the money for the church of the new congregation at Bowmans- town, which was dedicated free of debt. His work in the Bethel charge was equally as success- ful as that of his first charge. He compiled and published histories of each of the congregations. Those of St. John's (Fredericksburg and St. Paul's, Klopp's), being rather comprehensive. In 1908 he accepted a call from the Dryland Charge, East Pennsylvania Classis, consisting of the Dry- land (Hecktown) and Zion's (N. Bethlehem) congregations. At Zion's congregation the mort- gage which was a burden for many years has been liquidated and a pipe organ installed and at Dry- land, with the assistance of Rev. Klick, his col- league, a union constitution was adopted, which resulted in bringing order out of a long and bit- ter strife.

In the spring of 1904 he was married to Jennie B. Fritch, a daughter of Levi and Sarah ( Miller) Fritch, of Mertztown, Pa. She is a graduate of K. S. N. S., at Kutztown; before her marriage she taught three terms in the public schools. This union is blessed with two daughters, Geraldine

Euroma, born January 29, 1906, and Arline Fritch Butz, born June 20, 1913.

In 1906 his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of A.M. In spite of his activities, Rev. Butz finds time for art and literature. He has executed credible work in oil, water color, pastelle and pen and ink. They reside in Beth- lehem.

He filled the of- fice of deacon and elder and frequently repre- sented the charge on the floor of classis and synod. The present church bell of Mickley's Church, was donated by T.

He has always manifested a keen interest in the educational af- fairs of the township.
