Description
Fraktur family record of Amish family of Stephen and Hannah Miller Mast and ten children, done with ink and paint on heavy white paper in oak frame. Executed in the style of scrivener David C. Hoke by Old Order Amish Bishop John F. Glick (1912-Aug 30, 2003).
A contemporary scrivener who learned his craft by copying David Hoke, Glick records the family of his great grandmother Mary Mast (1832-1924). Fraktur has a wavy ribbon border with flowers at top and bottom. Heading at top is "Family Record" and 1/3 of the way down is "Children," both done in heavy red lettering with silver highlights. Three heads of wheat flank each side of "Children."
Parents' birth dates and marriage date are recorded, followed by ten children with birth dates. The sixth child, Mary, is underlined to indicate her significance as Glick's great grandmother. All 12 family members have a death date written in cursive under their birth date, mimicking a common practice of descendants who added this information years later.
At bottom center, Glick draws a scroll and pen and inscribes his name and the date (1997). At right he adds: "Mary Mast was my great grandmother."
Framed in a new oak frame with glazing, made by Glick's son, a woodworker, who has a woodshop on the Glick farm property, Cut Road, Salisbury Twp.
Group of three fraktur (P97.22.1-.3) was commissioned and purchased from Glick by HCLC as a result of visiting him in his farmhouse Jan 1997 to discuss his penwork. (The two other fraktur, based on the Stoltzfus family record, were specifically purchased for use in the 1997 Exhibit on fraktur.)

Family Record of Henry and Annie Stoltzfus
Description
Fraktur-style family record of Amish family (Henry and Annie Stoltzfus) done with ink and paint on heavy white paper, framed.
Executed by contemporary Amish scrivener, Old Order Amish Bishop John F. Glick (1912 - Aug 30, 2003), in the style of scrivener David C. Hoke, using the names from a FR by Hoke (see 96.1.1). Fraktur has a vine with blue berries forming a border. Heading at top is "Family Record," done in pink, red, black and gold and heading 1/3 of the way down is "Children," done in pink, mustard, gold and black. Three heads of wheat, tied together, flank each side of "Children" and are used under the names, next to the inscription.
Parents' birth dates are recorded, followed by ten children with birth dates. The father and the son, Levi, have a death date written under their birth date, mimicking a common practice of descendants who added this information years later.
At bottom center, under the wheat decoration, Glick inscribes his name and the date (1997). At right he adds: "David C. Hoke Pattern/ back in the 20's."
Framed in a new oak frame with glazing, made by Glick's son, a woodworker, who has a woodshop right there on the Glick farm property, Cut Road, Gap, PA.
Group of three fraktur (P97.22.1-.3) was commissioned and purchased from Glick by HCLC for use in the 1997 Exhibit on fraktur.

Description
Fraktur family record of Amish family of Henry and Annie Stoltzfus and ten children, done with ink and paint on heavy white paper in oak frame. Executed in the style of scrivener and artist David C. Hoke by Old Order Amish Bishop John F. Glick (1912-Aug 30, 2003).
A contemporary scrivener/artist who learned his craft by copying David Hoke, Glick records this family record in his own style. Here Glick uses the names from a Stoltzfus family record done by Hoke (see P.96.01.1). Glick has a wavy blue ribbon border with flowers at top and bottom. Heading at top is "Family Record" and 1/3 of the way down is "Children," both done in heavy blue lettering with silver highlights. Three heads of wheat flank each side of "Children."
Parents' birth dates are recorded, followed by ten children with birth dates. The father and son, Levi, have a death date written in cursive under their birth dates, following the practice of many descendants who added this information years later.
At bottom center, Glick draws a scroll and pen and inscribes his name and the date (1997).
