"May God have mercy on the deeply affected congregation" : the divisive 1825 language dispute at Lancaster's Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity
This is a transcript of a Pennsylvania German talk presented at Muddy Creek Farm Library, Farmersville (Ephrata), Pennsylvania, on September 4, 2015.
Excerpt: "The main thing this evening will be [another] nice talk by...Alan Keyser having to do once again with old Pennsylvania Dutch foodways...Now, the last time I spoke...I described where folks used to eat and how they ate. This time I want to talk a bit about where and how they cooked their food and did their baking, and also about the use of smokehouses." The conversation discusses hearth cooking and all it requires: firewood, pots and pans, and chimney cleaning.
A good, honest, hard working man : William Christian Paulsen and his family - German immigrants who settled in Lancaster in the mid- to late-nineteenth century
"William Paulsen's story, although unique in its details, is generally typical of the stories of many other middle-class German immigrants in Lancaster. Together, these stories comprise an important part of Lancaster's history that may not be very well known because immigrants in the middle class, although in the great majority, did not leave as many traces in the historical records as did more affluent, well-known immigrants. As a result, the stories of middle-class immigrants are more difficult to piece together. However, in the case of William Paulsen and his family, we are fortunate to have extensive family sources of information to draw on, as well as a substantial number of historical records."
