Died.
Apr. 13th, at the homo of her son,
Lydia Romig, relict of Isaac Romig.
Aged 91 years and 2 months.
Mother Romig, since tho death of
her husband eighteen months ago,
was oonfined to her bed, but only
the last few days of her life sho suf
fered mush pain. She soon was de
livered from her sufferings by a calm
and peaceful death. She was born
iu Northampton Co.. IV. and was
baptized by Rev. Helfrich, who was
the (Reformed) pastor of the Romic
family. In her young days sho came
to this county, (then Union) with
her parents where she attended cate
chetical instruction under the pas
torship of Rev. D. Weiser. who was
the onlv Reformed pastor at that
time in what is now Snyder Co. Bv
him she was received by rite of con
firmation in full membership of the
Reformed Church, to the doctrines
of which she has been true to the
end. It was only in the forenoon of
the day on which she died iu the
evening that her pastor visited her,
as was his custom, and at her desire,
since she could not come to the
Lord's House to receive Cummunion
he administered this comfortiug sac

burial took place on Good ' Friday,
A. M. in the new cemetery at Ad
amsburg. The funeral was lartrnlr

MORE ABOUT ROW'S CHURCH-
The Destruction of the Historic Structure
Recalls the Salem Jubilee.
Tho anciont edifice known as
Salein church will soon be seen no
tnore and we give below an account
of the jubilee which took place May
12, 1891.
The exercises began at 10:30, o. m.,
Pistor Wampole presided over the
day's exercises. The first Psalm
was read by Rev. G. C. II. Hasskarl,
of Beavertowu, who also offered an
invocation. William K. Miller, Esq.,
late Assistant State Librarian, a
great-grandson of the first Trustee
of the Church, who took out the pat
ent for the laud upon which it is
built, then delivered the "Address
of Welcome." The address,
is an able production and one
worthy of perusal.
The Rev. William M. Landis.of Ad
amsburg, preached the discourse of
tho day which served as a response
in German to the "Address of Wel
come." This discourse was based
upon Jeromiah 51:50: "Remember
the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem
come into your mind." The Rover
end gentleman compared the old
Church, or house of worship, to Je
rusalem. The old temple in Jerusa
lem was the place where God's peo
ple weut to worship. The fathers of
this congregation resorted to this
temple for the same purpose. He
impressed upon the minds of his
hearers tho duty they owe to their
Creator, and the necessity of at
tending to their religious duties in
the house of God. The discourse
was well prepared and contained
many excellent thoughts.
Prof. 1). S. Boyer, of Frooburir.
followed with some remarks was the
response iu English to tho "Address
of Welcome." The Professor gave
his audience a practical talk unon
some of tho historical eveuts that
happened at tho time this Church
was being built. He remarked that
James Madison was President of the
United States, and Simon Snyder,
of SoluiHgrovn, Governor of Penn
sylvania. The first church was built
in 1780111 years ago, at a cost of
Sfl'.HH), and tho first schoolhouso iu
1770, tho year whon Independence
was declared. Tho cornerstone of
this Church was laid August 7. 1814.
and seven days thereafter General
Ross, of the British army burned
Washington, the Capital of the Unit
ed States. Tho War of 1812 was in
progress, and us our forefathers
wero iu the field figbtiu'' the ouemv
of our country, the building of the
Church was very much impeded. It
took a year and nine months to con
struct this building, and its cost was
$2000. Iho speaker then refeired
to tho buttle of New Orleans, when
General Jackson conquered the
lintisli, ulso to McDonough's vie
tory on Lake C'hnmpluin, and nuot
ed tho prayer made by him on his
ship before the battle commenced
He referred to Governor Snyder's
monument, and the monument re
cently erected to the memory of
Goorgo Row, who was killed bv the
Indians iu 1780. He spoke of the
beautiful carpenter work in the
Church, and lauded the denarted
members for the work they hnd
done here saying, tUey have left a
monument of their devotion to the
cause of tho Christian religion. He
referred to the old pastors Shindel
and Erlcnmeyer, and quoted the
texts Rev. Conrad Walter and Isauc
Gerhart selected when they preach
ed the dedicatory sermous May 12,
1815. He closed by remarking:
This beautiful valley is a lovely
landscapo of God's creation and
unto this people the lines have fall
en in ploasant places and unto you
is given a goodly heritage.
The exercises concluded bv sink
ing "Praise God from whom all
blessing flow," and the benediction
by Rev. William M. Landis.
After all had partaken of dinner
afternoon exercises opened at 1:30
o'clock. The Rev. F. J. F. Shantz,
of Myerstown, was introduced. Mr.
Shantz was present as a substitute
in place of Dr. Morris, of Baltimore,
who was to have spoken upon "The
Character and Descendants of Con
rad Woiser, the Indian Interpreter,"
but owing to the fact that he is a
man of 88 years it was considered
prudent by his attending physician
not to venture upon the journey,
but he sent u leugthy production on
the topic assigned to him. Mr.
Shantz gave the audience an hour
and a half talk iu Pennsylvania
Dutch. The add ress was replete
with anecdotes whicli caused much
morriment, and tho whole hud the
merit of being excellent iu a literary
sense, something seldom found in
dialect discourses. Ho remarked
that when tho new church will be
dedicated he expects to be present.
The singing of "Pruise God from
whom all blessings flow," nnd the
pronouncing of the benodictiou by
Pastor Wampole tho vast uudieuce
dispersed.
The morning exorcises were held
in the Church, which was decorated
with tastefully fashioned wreaths.
The speaking was al! done from the
pulpit. In the afternoon a tempo
rary platform outside was occupied.
The musio was furnished by the
Frooburg Choir, directodby William
H. Grimm. Mi;s Mary Wiest pre
