He engrossed the document placed in the corner-
stone of the Gemeinhaus, and was the first
school-master of Bethlehem, when the school was
opened in May, 1742, - as he was also the
first diarist and the postmaster, who had
charge of the mail sent to and received from
the Brother who rendered a like service in
Philadelphia.        In 1745, Feb. 14, he married
Catherine Theobola Medler.
             Ordained a deacon in Bethlehem by
John on Walleville, Spangenberg and
Gammerhof in Oct. 27, 1748, he served in
the pastorale of various Congregations, last of
all in Philadelphia, where he died on
Nov. 1, 1784. He was buried in the [?]
cemetery, Franklin & Vine Sts. When the
