"Reverend Henry Hewitt's Funerals", 1816-1847 (ps. 112-113)
Note: The Zion Lutheran and Reformed Church in Canfield was among those served by the pioneer Lutheran pastor Henry Hewitt (Heinrich Huet). Licensed Lutheran ministers at this time kept a pastoral diary with careful statistics on sermons preached and ministerial acts performed---to present for inspection each year at the Ohio Synod Conference. Rev. Hewitt's journal kept in old German script, now brown with age, contains a number of funerals among the sermon texts, communions, marriages and baptisms. He seldom indicated where a burial took place so the burials listed here were chosen on the basis of stones still extant at old North Cemetery and a few at Cornersburg Cemetery. Rev. Hewitt's old and well-worn leather journal reposes in the Archives of the Ohio Synod, L.C.A., located in the Wittenberg University Library at Springfield, Ohio.
