W. S. PARTHEMORE HARRISBURG, PA HARRISBURG PUBLISHING COMPANY, 1892. "HILL" LUTHERAN CHURCH Records of Baptisms, etc. Although it has been the prevalent opinion of many that the territory now comprising the county of Dauphin was settled almost, if not wholly, by the Scotch-Irish, it is a fact worthy of notice that from the earliest period of settlement the followers of Luther were near neighbors of the adherents of John Knox. With the advent of the Scotch-Irish immigration were established Derry, Paxtang and Hanover meeting houses; while shortly after came the Lutheran minister and school teacher. St. Peter's church, of Middletown, has generally been considered as the first German church north of the Conewago, but the records which follow show that the first house of worship erected by the Lutherans was the "Berg" church, in Derry township, built in 1756, nine years prior to St. Peter's. The church is located upon the sand hills near the brownstone quarries, two miles southeast of Hummelstown. The original structure was surrounded by a fine grove of chestnut and oak trees, on an unfrequented public road, and stood upon the northwest side thereof, in the grave yard, until the year 1875, a period of one hundred and nineteen years. The representation given is from a photograph taken prior to its being pulled down. The present building was erected on the southeast side of the road, and is built of red sandstone, having a small belfry upon which is a bell which Sabbath after Sabbath peals forth its sweet strains, calling its remaining worshipers to the sanctuary. Two years ago it was the writer's privilege and pleasure to pay a visit to this ancient church and grave yard, and make a transcript of the tombstones. In the church is the old communion set which has been in use one hundred and seventeen years. This consists of a pewter tankard and two platters. Upon the first is engraved "U. Hipsher and W. Poh- 1758," and upon the latter "U.H.-W.P." In the records of the church proper, we translate from the original entry: "A. D., 1758, the cup and the plates were put into this church by Ulrich Hubscher and Wendel Poh. The basin for baptism was bought with alms-money, likewise the cover on the table. A napkin to cover over this cup was given by Wendell Poh. An inkstand of brass paid out of the alms-money. The bell [bell tongue (?) handle (?) ]. April 19th, 1767, Wendel Poh's wife gives five shillings as alms." (signed) REV. F. THEOPHILUS ENGELAND. The church book contains also the records of baptism of many who were early inhabitants in the locality, and other surnames recognized as the citizens of Paxtang, Swatara and Susquehanna Valleys, who came the great distance in obedience to the commands of the church of their fathers, until Lutheran churches at Middletown and Hummelstown were erected. The parish record is not the only one said to have been in the possession of the church, for we learn that a number of years ago, a gentleman from Lancaster (since deceased), secured a fuller record, which was never returned. It is more than probable that it was not the "Hill church" record proper, but that of Zion's Lutheran church, Hummelstown, and which should by all means be searched for, as it would give interesting historical information relating to that town and its people. The records in existence we have had transcribed and translated, and thus do our share in preserving somewhat of the historic gleanings of that landmark of German settlement in Pennsylvania. E.W.S.P.
