315 HISTORY OF 



another school withm four miles o:f Litiz, consequently, 

 the children, from the adjacent country, were all sent to 

 this school. The children of the Society, had then a 

 Separate school. Among those who resided in this house, 

 and served as teachers, the Rev. Bernhard A. Grube, 

 deserves particular notice. It was not only the object of 

 this good man to teach the children to read, write and 

 cypher, but also to impress good morals on their minds, 

 and to acquaint them with their Saviour. Various were 

 the methods which he adopted, but one in particular we 

 would mention: Being an excellent ornamental writer, 

 he wrote into his pupils' book, their names, adding some 

 wish or prayer, and from time to time, he presented them 

 with hymns of his own composition, or passage from 

 Scripture, beautifully written. Many of these trilling 

 presents, proved as seeds sown into good ground, which 

 grew, and have brought fruits unto salvation. To this 

 day, there are Bibles and spelling books to be found in 

 Warwick township, in which is found his writing, and 

 many, who are grand, and great-grand children, of those, 

 who, as children received of his trifling presents in those 

 long by-gone days, hold them as dear as their fore- 

 fathers did. 



In 1771, the St. Jacob's church, to which we referred 

 to, in a preceding page, being much out of repair, and 

 not used any more for sacred worship, was taken down, 

 and removed to the fulling mill below the village, and 

 converted into a dweUing house, for the miller; this 

 house stands to this day, and is at present the property of 

 Mr. John Keller. 



The grave yard, which belonged to this church, is yet 

 in existence, and is known by the name of "Warwick 

 Grave Yard;" it is located a short distance southwardly 

 from the village, near the Lancaster road. To persons
