a minister of the German Reformed Church, was born in Lancaster County, Pa., Sept. 13, 1799, and spent his youth in Westmoreland County, Pa. He studied theology privately with several ministers successively in Stark County, O., preaching meanwhile in the way of missionary tours under their direction. He was ordained in 1823, and took charge of a number of German Reformed congregations in Tuscarawas County, O., in whose service he continued up to the time of his death, May 8, 1826. He was a diligent student, and a minister that had much of the true missionary spirit.
