BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE 



Grube (B. A.) — Continued. 



where was ground the grain raised on the 

 Moravian tract. John Braadrailler, who had in 

 his youth been a printer at Basel, Switzerland, 

 was diaplain in charge. In 1761 there were 

 sent from London to Bethlehem a printing press 

 and types. These were sent up lo Frieden- 

 sthal to Brandmiller, and with them he printed 

 the "Delaware Hymn Book," the "Harmony 

 of the Gospels," and, in 1766, " Die taglicken 

 Loosungen der Briider Gemeiue f iir das Jahr 

 1767. Gedruckt bey Bethlehem in der Fork Del- 

 lawarby Johann Brandmiller. MDCCLXVII." 



The Historical Society of Penn, have in 

 their collection a perfect copy of the latter, and 

 a fragment of the Delaware Hymn Book, which 

 the writer found in the Moravian archives at 

 Bethlehem in 1886. He is also searching for a 

 copy of the "Harmony," and feels confident of 

 ultimate success. 



After the removal of the Moravian mission 

 to Friedenshuetten ( Wyalusing) on the Susque- 

 hanna River (Bradford Co., Pa.), the Grube 

 Hymn Book and Harmony were in use there 

 for some years. 



The diaries of the missions at Wechquetanc 

 and Friedenshuetten have been edited by the 

 writer and published in The Moravian. 



Bernhard Adam Grube, born 1715, near Er- 

 furth, Germany, and educated at Jena, came to 

 Pennsylvania in June of 1746 with a Moravian 

 colony. At first he was employed in the 

 schools at Bethlehem. In 1752 he was stationed 

 at the Indian mission at Meniolagomeka (now 

 in Monroe Co., Pa.), where he continued th© 

 study of Delaware and daily held meetings for 

 the Indians. In the summer of that year he 

 visited Shamokin and Wyoming, and remained 

 fifteen months at the first-mentioned town. In 

 October, 1753, he was sent to North Carolina, 

 and returned to Bethlehem in 1754, and in 1755 

 was appointed to Gnadenhuetten, whence he 

 barely escaped with his life on the memora- 

 ble night of Nov. 24th. In 1758 he was de- 

 spatched to Pachgatgoch (Kent) in Connecti- 

 cut. In October of 1760 he removed to Wech- 

 quetanc. On the outbreak of the Pontiac 

 war this station was abandoned, and he with- 

 drew with his 44 Indians to Bethlehem. From 

 the latter place, where he was joined by 77 

 converts from N"ain (near Bethlehem), he ac- 

 companied them to the barracks at Philadel- 

 phia and thence to Province Island, whither 

 the government was necessitated to remove 

 them for safety. Here they remained between 

 November, 1763, and March, 1765. On the return 

 of the converts to Bethlehem his missionary 

 career ended. Soon after, he was appointed 

 pastor at Lititz, Lancaster Co. In 1780 he was 

 commissioned to visit the Indian mission in 

 Ohio. His last appointments were at Hope, N. 

 J., and Emaus (Lehigh Co.), Pa. He died at 

 Bethlehem March 20, 1808, in his 93d year.—
