CHURCH BOOK OF THE REFORMED AND LUTHERAN CHURCHES
Combined in Plum Creek Township, Armstrong Co.
Beginning with Wilhelm Weinel, Reformed Preacher Sept. 24, 1840
(KIRCHEN BUCH DER REFORMITEN UND LUTHERIWEHEN
GEMEINDEN IN PLUMCRICK TOWNSCHIP, Armstrong County,
Angefangen von Wilhelm Weinel Reformiten Predigen den 24ten September 1840)
GASTOWN ARMSTRONG COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA
MASSY HARRISON CHAPTER D.A.R. New Kensington, Penna. 1959
The books from which these records were taken were in an unlocked case in
The old Church at Gastown, between Indiana and Elderton, Pennsylvania. The
books had evidently been used at times to amuse the children during services;
a number of pages had been scribbled on. The early years were recorded in
German script. There was no plan followed by the various ministers. Some
spoke of a man and wife as Mr. & Mrs. John Smith Ð another would say Mary and
John Smith Ð another Mrs. M. & J. Smith, Jr., so there is no way to decide at
this date where people with the same list name fit in. A name spelled many
different ways and the penmansip of some of the ministers left much to be
desired. Through the kindness of Mrs. Reefer, the caretaker, I was able to
contact the present minister, who lived in another community, and through him
was able to secure permission to take the books to my home for copying.
Two German dictionaries and a magnifying glass were called in to use many
times; I spent one afternoon at the parsonage of our local German Church
where the minister helped with some terms and phrases new to me.
