Sherrill From The Annals of Lincoln County, NC, by William L. Sherrill, 1937, page 75: “Judge David Schenck in the Lincoln Progress , July 12, 1873, wrote, “Rev. Andrew Loretz…During his entire pastorate at Emanuel Church (the old White Church) in Lincolnton…the services were always conducted in German, this being the only language then in use among the Dutch people, and in which their records were kept until 1822…An ancient relic is a silver Sacramental cup, which is the only remaining part of a silver service bequeathed by PHILIP ANTHONY (Grandfather of John P. Anthony) to the church. It is now (1873) in the possession of Mrs. J. C. Cobb, who received it from her father, Mr. John Butts, an elder of the church. Mrs. Cobb keeps it for the use of the proper owners when called for.” File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/nc/lincoln/bios/anthony6gbs.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/ncfiles/ File size: 1.4 Kb
