Bishop Spangenberg and Weigner were selected for Skippack; John Bechtel and John A. Gruber, for Germantown, and Henry Antes, Andrew Frey and George Stiefel for Frederick. These conferences continued until 1740. It was during this period of earnest religious work that death entered into Antes' household, and took on June 6th, 1739, their nine-month's-old baby Jacob.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A German Hero of the Colonial Times of Pennsylvania: Or the Life and Times of Henry Antes But Clio comes to warn us from such a con elusion, and points to us the weather stained, mouldy and faded fragments of the days gone by, and out of these we learn what perils, trials and sufferings, what poverty and need, beset our forefathers as they laid the foundations of the prosperity which we now enjoy. In this volume we may see what life was in Phil adelphia and the surrounding country a hundred and fifty years ago. To the writer, this period is exceedingly attrae tive, the more so because his ancestor, Henry Antes, was one of the leading spirits of that time, and m the story of his life the spirit of his time can be plainly discerned.
