Summary: "As the 300th anniversary year of the arrival of Jacob Boehm to the Pequea Settlement and the 225th anniversary of Boehm's Chapel approached, I felt a need to mark the occasion by collecting and preserving tidbits about the Boehm family, the chapel, and the present Boehm's UMC congregation. The Reverend Abram Sangrey, a WWII era pastor of Boehms's Episcopal Church, had written two histories, 'Martin Boehm' and 'The Temple of Limestone', before the 1991 Bicentennial Celebration, which offered insight into the formative years at Boehm's."
