was a member of the first Lutheran synod held in this country in 1748. His first regular charge combined sev- eral congregations in Hunterdon Co., N. J. He labored for a brief jjeriod in Pennsylvania, but the larger portion of his ministry was spent in the state of New York, j He died in 17'Jg. The manner of his death furnishes a remarkable instance of the power of the imagination. Forty years before, the impression from a dream on his birthdaj', that he would live just forty years longer, liad 1 become so strong that he felt persuaded the th-eam \\ould 1 be fulfilled, and his life protracted to the close of his ' eightieth year. On the day preceding its completion he came to the residence of the Hon. J. K. Livingston, ' and announced that he had come to his house to die. In the evening he conducted the family devotions, and the next morning arose in apparent health. He break- fasted with the family, and entered freely into conver- sation until the approach of the hour, as he sui)posed, for his departiure, 11 o'clock A.M. A few minutes before the time, he requested permission to retire. Mr. Liv- ingston, unobserved by him, followed, and noticed that he was undressing. Just as the clock tolled the hour, he was in the act of removing the stock from the neck ; at that moment he fell back and expired. Notwith- standing his eccentricities, he possessed many noble qual- ities, and his name will ever be associated with the in- stitution in Otsego Co., N. Y., v/hich bears his name, and of which lie may be said to be the fountler. The tract of land he received for his. services as chaplain he be- queathed principally for the establishment of a theolog- ical and missionary institution for tlie instruction of pi- ous young men for the Lutheran ministrj', and for the education of Indians in the Christian religion as mis- .sionaries among their own tribes.
