His activity, however, was not limited to his own educational routine : the public schools of the place and the adjacent country, the Sunday Schools here and elsewhere, claimed his attention al- ways; and, ever appreciative of the beautiful, he planted, at his own expense, a great many of the trees that now yield their grateful shade in our Springs Park.
His long and useful life, through which he never failed to recog- nize his Heavenly Father's guidance, was perfectly rounded out by the voluntary assistance he gave, until within two weeks of his de- cease, in his son's private school for boys.

His early education was re- ceived from private teachers, mainly from an aunt. Having com- pleted a classical course at Nisky, he studied in the Theological Seminary of Gnadenfeld, and then was called to America to be a teacher in Nazareth Hall, where he staid until 1830, acting also as one of the professors to three successive classes in the Theological
302
Seminary. In that year he received an appointment as pastor of the congregation at Emmaus, and was married to Anna Sophia Albright. From 1835 he served the Nazareth congregation for two years, and then filled a like position in Bethlehem until 1850. After a residence of four years on a farm in Middlesex Co., Va., he removed to Nazareth. Here he gave instruction in the classical languages and French in Nazareth Hall, and also lectured on Church History to the theological class then occupying the Whitefield House.

969. General John Augustus Sutter. Entombed in the north-west corner of the graveyard. He was born in Kandern, Baden, Feb. 15, 1803. Graduated at the military school in Berne, Switzerland. Went to France and joined the army of Charles X. About 1830, he came to America and settled in the western part of Missouri. In 1837 he removed to New Mexico and established himself in Santa Fe; then to California, settling there on the banks of the Sacramento River, and founding a colony named by him New Helvetia. From the Mexican government he received 100,000 acres of land for services rendered, but lost the whole of it through the indifference of Con- gress toward his claims resulting from the annexation of California. In 1847 gold was discovered on his ranch in that state. In 1871 he came to live in Lititz and from here went often to Washington to urge his just claims, but always to be disappointed. Having paid to the State of California $30,000 in taxes on the land of which he was bereft, that State granted him a pension of $3,000 a year; but his ideas of right and wrong were so strict that after ten years, when he had had returned to him the former sum, he refused to accept the latter any longer. He died in Washington, D. C., June 18, 1880, aged seventy-seven years. Although he was not a member of this congre- gation the Church was proud to give him a resting-place in its burial-ground. Some fifty of his fellow-pioneers came to his funeral, and among them were Generals John C. Fremont and H. T. Gibson, both of whom addressed the multitude of people gathered about the grave. Here he was known as a fine-looking, courtly old gentleman, and, because of his urbane and hospitable ways, was esteemed and respected by the whole community.
