Gettysburg compiler.: (Gettysburg, Pa.) 1866-1961: June 03, 1867
We perform a melancholy duty in recording the death of our venerable and esteemed
fellow citizen, Rev. Dr. Chas. P. Krauth, Sr., which occurred at his residence, on
Baltimore street, at 6 o'clock on Thursday evening last. Though bodily feeble for
several years, his mental vigor ceased only with a calm and peaceful termination of
life. His remains were interred in Ever Green Cemetery, on Saturday afternoon, after
appropriate and impressive services in Christ Church, including addresses by Rev.
Dr. Morris, of Baltimore, and Rev. Drs. Hay and Baugher, of this place. The funeral
was attended, in addition to the relatives and a large concourse of citizens, by the
Faculties and Students of the College and Seminary - The stores and other places of
business were closed during the moving of the funeral cortege.
Dr. Krauth was born in Montgomery county, Pa., and commenced his ministry in
Virginia, after which he was transferred to Philadelphia, as Pastor of St. Matthew's
Church; in 1833 he was elected Professor in the College and Seminary here, and soon
after became President of the former, which post he occupied seventeen years;
resigning the Presidency a few years ago, be gave his whole time to his duties in
the Seminary, continuing up to his death. In addition to his professorial
engagements, he was Pastor of the College Church five years. His age was a little
upwards of 70 years. 
Thus has passed away one who long held a prominent place in the church and the
community. Highly cultivated, with great purity of character and goodness of heart,
Dr. Krauth was esteemed by all, and sinks into the grave regretted by all. Peace to
his ashes.
