Book Description

Excerpt from The Demuth Family and the Moravian Church The history of the Demuth family is closely connected with that of the renewed Moravian Church. The name is in the list of charter members of the mother church. There were three families of Demuths represented in the community at Herrnhut when the Unitas Fratrum was given a new lease of life through the instrumen tality of Count Zinzendorf. There were Demuths among the pilgrims who came to Georgia and to Pennsylvania to blaze mission trails in the forests of pre-revolutionary America. Demuths served in the Revolutionary War and the graves of two of them are near the two memorial monuments in the Moravian Cemetery at Gnaden hutten, Ohio. Many Demuths and their descendants are still active members of the renewed Moravian Church, or Unitas Fratrum. It is fitting and proper that they and their posterity should know the full story of the Bohemian Brethren and become familiar with the ancient origins of the Moravian Church. The following sonnet en titled, The Young Patriot, by Frances Hall, is to the point. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
