Fox's Book of martyrs : being a complete history of the lives, sufferings, and deaths of Christian martyrs, from the commencement of Christianity to the latest periods of pagan and popish persecutions
"The object of this work, is to give a brief history of persecution since the first introduction of Christianity, till the present time. In doing this, we have commenced with the martyrdom of Stephen, and following the course of events, have brought the History of persecution down to the year 1830. In all ages, we find that a disposition to persecute for opinion's sake, has been manifested by wicked men, whatever may have been their opinions or sentiments on religious subjects. The intolerant Jew, and the bigoted pagan, have exhibited no more of a persecuting spirit, than the nominal professor of Christianity, and the infidel and the avowed atheist. Indeed, it seems to be an "inherent vice," in unsanctified nature to endeavour by the pressure of physical force, to restrain obnoxious sentiments, and to propagate favourite opinions. It is only when the heart has been renewed and sanctified by divine grace, that men have rightly understood and practised the true principles of toleration. We do not say that none but real Christians have adopted correct views respecting civil and religious liberty;—but we affirm that these views owe their origin entirely to Christianity and its genuine disciples."

Summary
"Lazarus Zellerbach was brutally murdered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on February 6th. His body was found on the west side of town by boys playing 21 days later. He was a peddler based out of Philadelphia who made two trips a year to Pittsburgh and even into Ohio. Testimony at the trial of the murderers reveal that he arrived into New York City in 1835 with his parents. They lived near the Balz and Rhine Rivers.He was not married. He left Philadelphia five months ago and was in Pittsburgh 10 weeks earlier. He was headed back home having sold out of his goods. Typically he would have had approximately $1000 on him. A reward of almost $500 was offered. Henry Kobler Musselman was arrested and convicted. His "servant" Lewis Willman turned States's evidence and testified against him. Musselman hit Lazarus on the head with a stone, stabbed him over 15 times and tossed his body over a fence. Musselman was hung on December 20, 1839. He had sold his body to a physician for study post mortem." [from FindAGrave.com]
