History of Rev. Wyneken It was exactly 125 years ago this month that Rev. Wyneken arrived in Indiana. His first stop was in Decatur, and he decided to make this his headquarters. From here he started out in search of the Lutherans whom he had been sent to serve. His first ministerial act in Indiana was to comfort and pray with a seriously sick man by the name of Loeffler in what is now Preble township. From there he was directed to a man by the name of Buuck, who was the leader of the small group of Lutherans in northwestern Adams county. Meeting a little girl in the woods, he inquired whether she could tell him where “Father" Buuck lived. “Oh, yes,” she replied, “that is my father.” At the Buuck home he received a most cordial welcome when he introduced himself. At the Buuck home Rev. Wyneken learned about the newly organized church at Friedheim, and of the untimely death of the young Rev. Hoover who had organized the congregation early that year. He was also told of another congregation which Rev. Hoover had organized in Fort Wayne, and he immediately went there to sec what he could do. So. for the next three years, he served both the congregation at Fort Wayne and the one at Friedheim, as well as making many extended missionary journeys around northern Indiana, northwestern Ohio and southern Michigan. Aug. 31, 1841, Rev. Wyneken married Maria Sophia Wilhelmina Buuck, a sister of the little girl whom he had met in the woods. Shortly after this, they left the |

the Evangelical Lutheran synod of Missouri, Ohio and other states. During his 14 years as president, Rev. Wyneken visited every congregation in the synod, including those he had served in Indiana. In 1859 he moved back to Adams county into a home which is still standing on the farm owned by Gerhard Bultemeier. ■ I The record of Rev. Wyneken’s life may be concluded with the words of Prof. Walther, the first president of what is now the Lutheran church-Missouri synod: “To a host of pastors and laymen he was an example, to thousands a splr-1 itual father, an apostle to a large section of America, beloved and honored by all who knew him, one of the finest men who graced our Lutheran Zion and one of her mightiest champions, whose name will never be forgotten, but will remain blessed as long as the Lutheran church in our country-remains true to her name.” Discolored Hankies i You can whiten discolored hand- ( kerchiefs by immersing them in ! cold water to which you’ve added a pinch of cream of tartar.
