American Requiem - a Narrative Poem of Death and Ancestors by Emily McFarland (December 1969) 92 1 The Ancestral Home of the Frelinghuy sens in Europe* According to the theologian James Tanis,** Johan Henrich Frilinghauss, Jr. of Schwerte was the grandfather of Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen who came to New Jersey in 1 720. This Johan was born, baptized, married {Ursula Hengstenberg of Ergste) and died in St. Viktor' s parish in Schwerte, as shown in the church archives. In 16 82, his son Johan III { T. J. F. is father) became the first pastor of the newly organized Reformed Church in nearby Hagen. Here Johan III took his hew bride, Anna Margaretha Brliggeman, daughter of a minister in Westhofen and made a home for his large family of eleven children. The fine etching of the town of Schwerte redrawn from an old print of 1 500 is attached. The spire of St. Vik tor 1 s Church dominates the view of this -ancient city. The church was beautifully restored in 1954 for the four hundred year anniversary of the corning of the Reformation to Schwerte in 1554. The altar of St. Viktor 1 s is truly a fine 15th century work done by Antwerp artisans. Luckily the first reformers were Lutherans:who did not destroy it or the wonder­ ful carved pulpit in their religious zeal! The old city still has many of the 15th and 16th century half..:timbered, tilted houses up and down the crooked, cobbled streets. *This historical note on the ancestral background of the Frelinghuysen family in Westphalia and Holland was written by Emily F. McFarland ar"ter a visit to that area in September, 196 8 with her husband Professor Ross A. McFarland. **Tanis, James - - "Dutch Calvinistic Pietism in the Middle Colonies - A study in the life and theology of Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen, " The Hague 1967. Cf also "The Frelinghuysens Begats," Genealogical magazine of N. J., Vol. XL, No. 2, May 196 5, pp. 49- 56. 2 It was interesting to see the home of our We stphalian ancestors and, in Ergste, to find some tombstones of the Hengstenbergs from that period, 1680 to 1780. The gravestones, dislodged in the bombings of the second World War, were leaning up against the side of the· church with little possibility of their ever being matched up to the right bodies in the blasted ground below. We then drove to Hagen, a dismal, grey, mining city in the Ruhr industrial ar~a where we found the Evangelische Kirche near the Santa Marien Hospital. The Verger sought out the Pastor to an~wer our long list of questions. Pastor Beyer's father and grandfather had been ministers in Hagen and his grandfather had built the existing church in 187 3. The Coffee Mill, a_s the old church was called had always been a subject of ridicule by other denominations. The present new church stands in the midst of jagged ruins which are still not torn down or rebuilt after twenty-three years of "peace and prosperity"; a constant reminder of the horrors of war. The grandfather of Pastor Beyer had prepared a history of the church from its very beginning. He showed us the manuscript which was written in German. Reference was made to the ministry of Johan III (father of T. J. F.) and the church which was destroyed or torn down. There was also a picture of the church with its Wurzel Turm, or Turnip Topping which was apparently the origin of its name "The Coffee Mill. 11 The only relics salvaged were the two great sculptured stone doorways of the old "Coffee Mill"; one, a bas relief of the Ele ctor1 s coat of arms with flanking lions, the other a carved stork or pelican caring for its young. These stones had been placed in the new Church and Sunday School as symbols of strength and hope for the future. 3 This was the place where Johan Henrich Frelinghausen III preached to the iron workers for forty-six years. Here, in 1692, his son Theodorus Jacobus was baptized, and here in Hagen, T. J. F. was brought up until going to school at the Gymnasium in Hamm at the age of seventeen.* Theodorus studied at the University of Lingen for six years under Johannes Wilhelmius and Otto Verbrugge. He was licensed to preach in 1715, but was not ordained by the Class is of Emden by Brunius, until l 7J7, in the German Reformed Faith. His first church was at Loegumer Voorwerk in East Friesland during the great flood of Christmas 1718. He then planned to go to Enkhuizen in the Nether­ lands as co-rector of the La:tin School, but on the way there met Sicco Tjaden in Groningen. Tjaden persuaded T. J. F. 'to go as preacher to the "R-a-ritans" in America. (He· thought it was in Brabant.) Re-ordained in the Dutch Reformed Church by the Class is of Amsterdam, he took ship in Sept ember 1719 for New York. He became preacher to the Dutch Churches of the Raritan Valley in New Jersey in 1720. Pietist, evangelist, stubborn and controversial, Theodorus "brought a vital religion to the region at the same time as schism and strife. "* His five sons all joined the ministry--but every one died young, and only John the "Domine" left male survivors. John's son General Frederick, born in 17 53 in the Raritan Parsonage, was the common.ancestor of all the Frelinghuysens in America today. *Ibid James Tanis _ 4 -···· ...... .rd-tt:­ __,__f;:-.-~:,...-­ -~~;1£j~ View of the old Westphalian town of Schwerte in 1500, then as now dominated by the spire of St. Viktor's Church where the Reformation was introduced in 155-4.

Built at the corner of Broad and Market Streets, the original Greek Revival structure served the public until 1903. Trenton and Mercer County had grown enormously since its founding, and the current grand, classical Beaux Arts structure was built to accommodate that growth. This impressive sandstone building, with its pediments, columns and arches, occupies an important downtown gateway. Not only a Trenton Landmark, the 1904 Court House is perhaps one of the best known buildings in Mercer County. Current Status: The building is vacant. The Court House Annex is under renovation, but there are no plans for the renovation of the original Court House. Non-court uses are being considered but appear to be a number of years away.

INTRODUCTORY THE INIanual of the One Hundred and Eighth Session of the Legislature of New Jersey is, we trust, an improvement on preceding volumes. We have honestly striven every year to make each succeeding book suj^e- rior to all others, and hope, ere long, to present a work which will take rank with the best of its kind published in the United States. To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.

Mr. Ellison divides his history of British gliding into four segments: 1849-1908; 1908-1920; 1920-1929; and 1929-present (1970) British Gliding History The history of motorless flight in Britain can be divided into four periods. The first period up to 1908 started way back in 1849 when Sir George Cayley persuaded a boy to fly in one of his small gliders. Later, in 1853, Sir George's coachman was launched across a small valley at Brompton, near Scarborough. This experiment terminated abruptly when the craft reached the other side of the valley, and the frightened coachman stepped from the wreckage and addressed his employer with the now famous words "Sir George, I wish to hand in my notice".
