He conducted the last sad rites of the church at the funerals of ■pur hundred and twelve persons. The first of these was Carolina ■ aufenweiler and took place on August 7, 1880. Two hundred and twenty one marriages wore solemnised by him, ■hr first one taking place on October 19, 1880. The contracting Karties were Joseph Gass and Anna Brandeberry.
