The road passing the church is the old King's high road from Philadelphia to Macungie, which was laid out during the reign of King George III. The congregation was an offshoot from an old congregation established near Dillinger's in 1734 or 1735. Peter HUETTEL gave the new congregation an acre of his 120-acre tract bought from John BIDGAMAN, in 1757, in which year a log church was built. This gave way to another in 1758. The present brick edifice was erected in 1876. The first church record was opened in 1758 by Rev. Frederick SCHERTLEIN. The first pastor was Rev. SCHAEFFER. Then came Rev. Jacob Friedrich SCHERTLEIN, 1758-60, followed for nine years by Rev. George MEISNER. In 1769 Rev. Jacob VANBUSKIRK became pastor, serving twenty-four years and later three years more to 1800, Rev. G.F. ELLISEN serving in the intermin. Then came in order Revs. I.P.F. KRAMER, Frederick GEISENHAINER, Heinrich HEYER, Isaac ROELLER, Ferdinand PLITT, H. HEINLEY, H.G. STECHER, F.W. MENDSEN, Benjamin GERMAN, Wilhelm GERMAN, A.L. DECHANT, Jacob WOGELBACH, and in 1857 Rev. William RATH, who died July 2, 1889. His son, Rev. M.O. RATH, assisted him after 1877, succeeded to the pastorate and resigned in 1894. Rev. I.B. RITTER succeeded him on September 1 of the same year. The church has 316 members and a Sunday school of 151 members.
The home of Mrs. Christiana KRAUSS, relict of Henry KRAUSS, of near East Greenville, was entered by thieves during Monday night and some money and the best part of a ham were stolen. Mrs. KRAUSS is about 85 years of age and since the death of her husband, she in company with her servant, Miss Susan KRIEBEL occupy the house alone. The thieves opened a window at the shanty attached to the house, secured a light in it, unscrewed the hinges on the cellar door and entered. They came out of the cellar, cut a pane of glass out of the door which led into the sitting room and then unlocked the door. After ransacking that room the lock on the door leading to the kitchen was unscrewed and after they entered that room they found several tallow dips, one of them they stuck into the neck of a bottle and lit it. They then used two lights to clean out the drawers in the kitchen. They found five dollars in change in the cupboard and a handful of rare old coins in a drawer in the kitchen cabinet which they took with them, as well as the best part of a ham found in the room. Miss KRIEBEL thought she heard a noise during the night but was not aware of the presence of the thieves. The supposition is that tramps were the offenders.
