The next minister of whom we have records was Rev. Deitteaman, who was
pastor in Bedford sometime between 1812 and 1818.

He was followed by Rev. Osterloh in 1818, who continued his labors here
until the year 1828. Mr. Osterloh was a native of Germany, and the
earliest church records we have were made during his pastorate. The
records were written in German language, but upon translation prove to be
deaths of the early members of this church, some of whose decendants are
among our members now, faithful to the church of their forefathers choice.
At this time Bedford church had about one hundred members many of them
living from five to ten miles distant. It was during his pastorate that
the old Union Brick Church was built at the cornor of John and Thomas
streets, for some years prior to 1823 the corner stone of the new church
was laid, it is said by Rev. William Yeager of Friends Cove on the part of
the Lutherns and Rev. J .H. Gerhart on part of the Reformed Church. This
house was dedicated to service of God, Sept. 19, 1824. From this time
until 1846 the congregations used this building alternately.

Mr. Osterloh's successor was Rev. Wm. Yeager, who continued to serve this
and neighboring churches until 1838. His field of labor, as that of his
predecessors was of such great extent that he just have felt as he
contemplated the work awaiting him, "Who is sufficient for these things".,
But he was a man of remarkable piety undaunted spirit and great love for
his church. He accepted no salary and though his health was poor, he
braved the dangers of exposure of long rides through unsettled districts
that he might save souls. It can be said truthfully of him, "He was a man
of God".

Father Yeager as he was called, was succeded by Rev. Wm. L. Gibson in 1838
and he labored here until 1841. He was an enthusiastic worker in his
pastorate.

Rev. Reuben Weisor was the next pastor. He continued here from Aug 1 1841
to April 1 1846. In the church records made, he had written the following
words which evidence to us the difficulties with which he was meeting and
the earnest spirit he brought to combat them, "When I took charge of the
Luthern Congregation of Bedford, the members were very much scattered;
whether I shall be able to bring them together only God knows, I will try.
R. Weisor." During his pastorate many members were added and the church
was put on a firmer foundation than ever before. Schellsburg was part of
this charge at the time of Mr. Weisor was instrumental in having a Luthern
church built at this place and from that time Schellsburg had a minister
distinct from Bedford. In after years the title of Doctor of Divinity was
conferred upon him.

Rev. P. M. Rughtmeyer was the next pastor in the Bedford Church, taking
charge April 1 1846 and leaving in one year. Up to this time the church
was lighted with sperm and tallow candles and heated by wood fires in the
old fashioned tin-plate stoves. The sexton was paid the magnificient
yearly sum of fifteen dollars.

The next minister was Rev. J. Winecoff who came here in April 1 1847 and
remained two years. During his pastorate the membership numbered one
hundred and forty.

The Luthern Congregation in Bedford worshipped in the Old Luthern and
Reformed Union Church on John Street, until the summer of 1849 when the new
Church on the Public Square was completed. The new Church was built in
1871, the audience room was completed 1877 and dedicated the second Sunday
of December 1877. Prior to 1849 the Luthern and Reformed Congregations
worshipped in the Union Church on John Street, and the building there was
built 1823, the corner stone being laid July 11, 1823. This structure has
been preceded by a Log Church on the ground, the date of the erection of
which is not known. S/S John Lutz

Bedford Pa. 1843
By certificate of Baptism shown me by Jacob Dibert, whose Parents Charles
and Mary lived on the Old Nathaniel Smith property on the Hickory Bottom
Road and who were Lutherans, it appears that a Lutheran Preacher named
Frederick Hainsel, Preached and Baptized Lutheran Children here in 1805.
This certificate is dated May 23, 1805.

The Luthern Congregation sold to the Reformed in 1850. Rev. John Casper
Bucher was a Commissioned Officer of the Pa. Troops under Gen. Forbes, who
rendezvoued in 1758 and afterwards was a Missionary of the Luthern and Ref.
Church in Bedford or Raystown in 1765.

Rev. Steck in 1785 and the time of service is not known.


Rev. Fred'k Hainsey was a German. His Father came to America as a Chaplain
of the Hessian Troops serving under King Geo., IV in the War of the
Revolution. Some of his descendants were living in the Northern part of
Bedford County in 1905 and 1906.
While there is no record of the fact, he is believed to have served the
Bedford Congregation, as it appears to have been the only Luthern
Congregation at that time.
