John Maul offered a plot of ground for a church for the small sum of $2.25. This lot was somewhere on or near the present farm of Henry Roney. It was accepted at first, but a better lot was offered by Ludwig Heitzen- Crissman, Rev. Samuel E. Slater, Rev. Charles roder at the same price, and Mr. Maul court- F. Sanders, Rev. W. W. Criley, Rev. W. J. Boucher, and Rev. W. Roy Goff, the present pastor.

During the pastorate of Rev. John J. Su- man, 1853-58, a good parsonage was built and the present constitution of the church was adopted. During the pastorate of Rev. Michael Colver, 1881-89, the church was re- modeled at a cost of $5,500. It was solemnly rededicated January 2, 1887, Rev. W. W. Criley, D. D., preaching the dedicatory ser- mon. During the pastorate of Rev. Charles F. Sanders the church and parsonage have both been improved at considerable expense. The scholarly attainments of this pastor are recognized and appreciated by the commu- nity ; the Hebron Church is occupying a higher position among the Evangelical forces of the community to-day than it has done for many years.

The present church officers are W. R. Spiers, J. H. Lore, J. H. Vorlage, William Vorlage, C. J. Siegfried, Luther Shaffer, J. H. Kiss- inger, J. K. McConnell, M. L. Wilson, D. W. Thompson. The membership at present is 239. The superintendent of the Sabbath school is Charles Palmer, the enrollment 214.

TRADE CITY CHURCH

eously took back his lot, allowing the con- gregation to purchase the more acceptable site. Frederick Sprankle, Martin Zirkel and Johannes Knauff were selected as the build- ing committee, with the first named as treas- urer. Much of the labor was done gratui- tously by the members of the church. They cut and hewed the logs upon their own tim- berlands, and hauled them to the church lot. Then they gave their services to the build- ing committee for any work that might be re- quired of them. The highest cash subscrip- tion was that of Frederick Sprankle for $10. Only about $111.50 in money was invested in the building, but when completed it was as neat and comfortable a log church as was to be found anywhere in the county. The floor was rough-boarded and the seats rough and unpainted. The doors, windows and pulpit were put in place by Heinrich Beck at the price of $42. The roof was covered with the shingles and heavy clapboards used at that time. The church was dedicated August 28, 1841, by the Reformed pastor, Rev. John Alt- house, in the presence of a great assemblage of people from far and near. These services were conducted in the German language.

The conservatism of the people is seen in their adherence to the German language. The- odore Roosevelt, in the "Winning of the West," says that the Germans who settled west of the Allegheny Mountains were quickly "Americanized." This may be true of Ken- tucky and Tennessee, but it was not true of western Pennsylvania. Some German set- tlements in this section remained thoroughly German, in language and spirit, for more than seventy-five years after their establishment. Very little of the land changed hands, and a close community was maintained. The fa-

In April, 1839, German immigrants who had bought land from the Holland Land Com- pany and settled in the neighborhood of Trade City some years before, decided to build a union church for the use of the Lutheran and Reformed denominations. There were twenty-one families engaged in this work, of which number fifteen were Germans from the Fatherland and six Pennsylvania Dutch from Blair and Huntingdon counties. Those who came directly from the Fatherland were chiefly of the Reformed faith. In view of thers stoutly resisted every attempt at " Amer-

J. C. Henneman, Rev. J. Baier, Rev. C. A. Lim- berg, Rev. Ludwig Crist, Rev. Mr. Hoffmeyer, Rev. Mr. Deitz. The congregation clung to the rule that "so long as three members re- mained, no other language should be preferred to the German," and it proved to be its de- struction. One by one the younger members of the church slipped away to the English Lutheran services at Whitesville or at Fred- erick Sprankle's until none but the "old folks" remained. When these died, Round Top Chapel was buried with them. George Ebel and Herman Fierman. The lat- ter was adopted by the congregation at a spe- cial meeting held in August, 1841. On the same day a church council was elected, con- sisting of Jacob Shaffer, John Maul, Adam Schneider, Johannes Knauff, Caspar Werth- man, Frederick Sprankle. They were prob- bly the six "overseers" required by the con- stitution. This old St. Paul's Church (called Round Top) was by far the most vigorous Ger- man Church ever established in Indiana county. It should be one of the best country churches of the German Reformed faith in western Pennsylvania to-day. It had a splen- did start, but was sacrificed to the German language. For the first few years it made The services at Frederick Sprankle's shop were continued by the Whitesville pastors, Rev. Christian Diehl and Rev. Charles L. Streamer, until May, 1868, when at the ad- vice of the latter the people were regularly organized into an Evangelical Lutheran Church. At this meeting John Fetterhof and Frederick Sprankle were chosen elders, and David Stear and Daniel Ramey were elected deacons. Plans were at once laid for the erection of a new church. A lot was secured, the cornerstone for the new church was laid August 1, 1868, and the building itself was dedicated December 13th of the same year. Rev. Henry Baker, D. D., of Altoona, Pa., preached the dedicatory sermon. The build- rapid progress under the care of its first pas- tor, Rev. John Althouse. About this time Mr. Frederick Sprankle introduced a young man, John David Adam, to the congregation as a Lutheran preacher, but he was not favor- ably received. Three reasons were given for his rejection. First, he was not licensed yet to preach; second, the church was not strong enough to support two pastors at the same time; third, Mr. Adam was an advocate of "new measures," and this was very distaste- ful to the greater portion of the congregation. All the Lutheran Germans and the German Americans thereupon withdrew from the church, took Mr. Adam as their pastor, and held services near St. Paul's Church. In the ers were George Peffer and Daniel Ramey, who fall of 1842 Mr. Adam was licensed to preach took the contract for $1,750, furnishing all material.

Rev. Mr. Adam served the church but for a short time, for his license was revoked by the Allegheny Synod. The following pastors served the Lutherans until 1854: Rev. Henry David Keyl, Rev. J. George Donmeyer, Rev. A. C. Ehrenfeld, Rev. G. M. Pile, Rev. Mr. Huntzinger, Rev. F. A. Barnitz. In 1854 reg- ular services in St. Paul's Church were dis- continued, the members effecting an organiza- tion in Perrysville, uniting with a few mem- bers of the same faith from Jefferson county.

L. Streamer's pastorate in the community ex- tended from June, 1858, to November 1, 1869, and was greatly blessed of God. At the time of his resignation the church had about fifty members. His successors in office were: Rev. P. S. Hooper, Rev. George A. Lee, Rev. W. E. Crebs. Rev. Ephraim Miller, Rev. J. T. Gladhill, Rev. C. L. Streamer (recalled 1885), Rev. M. S. Kemp, Rev. Shile Miller and Rev. Mr. Claney, the present pastor.

During Rev. Gladhill's pastorate the charge was divided, and Smicksburg and Trade City undertook the support of a pastor. During the same pastorate the church was thoroughly re- paired, and rededicated September 14, 1884.

LUTHIER CHAPEL, GRACETON

About the year 1828 Rev. Nicholas G. Shar- retts, pastor of the Indiana charge, began to hold services in the Blacklick schoolhouse, lo- cated about one mile from the present site of the Luther Chapel. A considerable number of the original members of the Blairsville Church lived in this neighborhood, and at their request these services in the schoolhouse were continued with more or less regularity by the pastor of the Indiana charge until Jan- mary 15, 1846, when they were organized by Rev. Peter Sahm, D. D., into a separate con- gregation. The number of members in the original organization was twenty-six.

In 1850 it was decided to erect a church. A building committee was appointed, consist- ing of Michael Rugh, John Fair, Adam Mike- sell, Jonas Mikesell. This committee, on March 13, 1850, purchased a lot of ground from Daniel Altemus and John Peddicord for the consideration of five dollars. Upon this lot a brick church, 35 by 50 feet, was erected at a cost of $2,500. It was dedicated about March 1, 1852. From the time of its organ- ization to May 19, 1878, it was served by the pastors of the Blairsville charge (see history of that congregation). In 1878 the Blairs- ville Church became an independent pastorate and Luther Chapel and Homer City were made a charge.

The first pastor of this newly formed pas- torate was Rev. C. T. Steck, who took charge about August 1, 1878, first as a supply, and later as the regular pastor. He resigned April 6, 1882. The charge was vacant for over a year, and then on November 1, 1883, Rev. W. E. Crebs became pastor. He also served the Brushvalley Church in connection with Homer City and Luther Chapel. He resigned April 1, 1884. The following pastors have since served the congregation : Rev. J. W. Reese, Rev. J. W. Shaeffer, Rev. G. L. Courtney, Rev. J. W. Shaeffer (recalled).

Rev. M. Shaeffer continues to serve this con- gregation in connection with the Intheran Church of Homer City.

HOMER CITY CHURCH

This congregation was organized by Rev. R. A. Fink, D. D., of Johnstown, Pa., presi- dent of the Allegheny Synod, February 21, 1870. Of the original members, numbering twenty-eight, many were members of Inther Chapel. They were taken at once under the pastoral care of Rev. Simon P. Snyder, who was then serving the Brushvalley charge. Upon his resignation in April, 1874, the church was received into the Blairsville charge, under the care of Rev. Angustus Babb, D. D., who was the pastor until October 1, 1875. As soon as the congregation was or- ganized a lot was purchased, and a neat frame church, costing about $3,000, built upon it. This church was dedicated to God October 6, 1872. The following pastors have served the church from the time of Rev. Dr. Babb's res- ignation : Rev. Charles L. Streamer, Rev. C. T. Steck, Rev. W. E. Crebs, Rev. J. W. Reese, Rev. J. W. Shaeffer, Rev. G. L. Court- ney, Rev. J. W. Shaeffer (recalled).

Rev. Mr. Shaeffer has served this congrega- tion since 1900. Counting the eight years he was pastor of the congregation under the first call, he has been the pastor for twenty-one years.

The present officers are as follows: Elders, George R. Stewart and Samuel Kissinger; deacons, J. N. Sickenberger, W. J. Kunkle, T. J. Brandon, Samnel Stewart, L. P. Foust, Harry Lockard; trustees, W. E. MeNutt, J. Harvey Long, L. Z. MeCombs. Clyde W. Shaffer is the superintendent of the Sabbath school, which has an enrollment of 125 and is kept open the entire year.

The following were members of this congre- gation : Thomas B. Uber, a member of the faculty of Carthage College, Ill .; James M. Uber, a Lutheran minister, at Milroy, Pa .; C. Frank Johnston, a traveling evangelist ; Clyde W. Shaeffer, the son of the pastor, is a Theological student.

In January, 1858, owing to ill health, he resigned, but resumed the work again on June 1st, when he secured the as- sistance of a young student, Charles L. Streamer. On June 1, 1859, he resigned the second time, and his assistant became the reg- ular pastor. The name of Charles L. Streamer is one of the best known names in the vicin- way to St. John's Church on Plum creek to attend preaching services, except on such oc- casions when they could prevail upon the pas- tor of St. John's to preach in some private house in their own immediate neighborhood. Sometimes union services would be held with other denominations when an itinerant preacher happened to pass that way. Rev. G. A. Reichart preached for them May 10, ity of Smicksburg. He served the Lutheran 1836. In the spring of 1842 Rev. Jacob Med- tart, pastor of the Indiana charge, preached for them regularly, and on May 28, 1842, or- ganized them into a congregation, consisting of twenty-one members, thirteen of whom were communieant members of the Plum Creek Church. Jacob Condron, Cornelius Lowe and Joseph Black constituted the first church couneil.

Rev. Mr. Medtart preached every four weeks for the newly formed congregation at a salary of $50 per annum. He served them for ten months and succeeded in adding fifteen mem- bers to the church. One of his most efficient helpers was Mr. Cornelius Lowe. He was the solicitation that Rev. Mr. Medtart first be- gan to preach at Smicksburg. He started a union Sunday school in the community, and also held a prayer-meeting every Sunday when there were no preaching services, and for three years had "to do all the praying him- self." He was a member of the first church conneil and served in that capacity, with the exception of two years, until the day of his death, July 15, 1880.

Rev. Henry Bishop served the church from November 1, 1843, to January, 1847. Rev. A. C. Ehrenfeld became pastor in January, 1847, and made Smicksburg the center of Lutheran operations in the northern end of the county. His charge consisted of the churches at Smicksburg, Plum Creek, Round Top and Whitesville, with the parsonage at Smicks- burg. He also had a preaching station at Ru- ral Village. During his ministry, in June, 1847, a constitution, in harmony with the Synod, was adopted. Rev. Mr. Ehrenfeld served the congregation about two years. From June 1, 1851, to 1852 Rev. Grafton M. Pile was the pastor. Rev. F. A. Barnitz was pas- tor from 1852 to 1854.

At a later date he was recalled and served the congregation again for nearly twelve years, making a pas- torate of twenty-three years, in which he re- ceived 231 persons into the membership of the church. During his second pastorate the present church building was erected. The cornerstone was laid June 12, 1889, Rev. W. Selner, of Luthersburg, and Rev. J. M. Rice, of Shippensville, assisting the pastor. On March 9, 1890, the church was dedicated. Rev. J. W. Poffinberger preached the dedicatory sermon. Rev. A. C. Ehrenfeld, Rev. E. B. Shaner and Rev. J.

COOKPORT CHURCH

In the year 1828 John Learn, Sr., removed in a union church built by the Reformed,

from Armstrong county, Pa., and settled in the vicinity of Cookport, establishing what was afterwards known as the "Learn settlement." He and his wife were members of the German

sion," and commissioning one of their young . men, Rev. Christian A. Fetzer, as their first missionary. Rev. Mr. Fetzer entered upon his work soon after the meeting of the Synod. His first task in the "Learn settlement" was to organize them regularly into a congrega- tion. This was done December 1, 1855. A constitution was drafted and adopted which is still the constitution of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Cookport. It was called "The constitution of the Evangelical Lutheran and German Reformed Congregation at Learn's settlement." The regular pastors have all been Lutherans, and the accessions have

Only two of the original members of the Re- formed faith refused to unite regularly with the Lutheran congregation. Rev. Mr. Fetzer conducted his services at first in what was known as the "old frame schoolhouse," ad- journing the services to an adjacent grove when pretty weather brought out an unusu- ally large congregation. Later he preached Lutheran and Methodist denominations about the year 1854. His term of pastoral service extended to July 26, 1857.

The next pastor of the church was Rev. Reformed Church, but were compelled to P. S. Nellis, who served from January 31, 1858, to April 17, 1859. During his pastor- ate some dissatisfaction arose with the Metho- dist Protestants about the use of the old un- ion church, and the Lutherans determined to

forego the privileges of the church for many years in their new home. In 1839 he united with several others in the neighborhood and secured the services of Rev. Mr. Barnes, a German Reformed minister. He preached for build a church of their own. On January them first in the old Presbyterian Church at 11, 1859, Mr. Andrew Learn deeded to John

The timber for a new church was hewed by members of the congregation in the spring of the same year, John Bash, Fred Henry ; deacons, Elias Learn,

but owing to the removal of the pastor in April building operations were suspended, and the church was not finished until five years later. In 1859 Rev. Jacob Wolf sup- plied the pulpit. From 1860 to 1862 Rev. Henry Gathers was pastor, preaching in an old house and barn of Andrew Learn. On October 8, 1863, Rev. John Forthman became pastor, and the congregation once more ad- dressed itself to the task of building. The church, which was of frame, 40 by 50, was dedicated some time during the year 1864. It cost about five hundred dollars in cash, besides much donated labor and material. Rev. Mr. Forthman resigned October 23, 1864, and his successors have been: Rev. Michael Col- ver, Rev. Leonard Wisehaupt, Rev. M. O. T. Sahm, Rev. Reuben Smith, Rev. Samuel Kri- der, Rev. J. M. Hankey, Rev. George Trostle, Rev. J. C. McGaughey, Rev. J. A. Flicken- ger (prevented by sickness from becoming the resident pastor), Rev. W. G. Slonaker, and Rev. H. W. Maguire, the present pastor.

In 1885 the church building was greatly improved at a cost of several hundred dol- lars. The pastor, Rev. Reuben Smith, was as- sisted by Rev. Michael Colver at the reopen- ing services, which took place August 23, 1885. In the spring of 1893 the church was destroyed by fire, and the congregation was The pastors of this church have been the following: Rev. Simon P. Snyder (pioneer supply), Rev. Isaiah B.

For four years they worshipped in the M. P. Church and then removed to their own unfinished building. The church was not completed un- til 1902, during the pastorate of Rev. J. C. MeGaughey. The feast of dedication was held November 17, 1902, nearly ten years after the disastrous fire, and the dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. S. J. McDowell. It is to the great credit of this congregation, how- ever, that they paid all bills as they were due The officers in 1913 are as follows: Elders, Wesley Askins, Artie Davis, Calvin Steffey; deaconesses, Mrs. Wesley Askins and Mrs. Artie Davis. Artie Davis is superintendent of the Sabbath school, which has an enroll- ment of 40. and dedicated the church free of debt. It cost about $1,500 in addition to much do- nated material.
