Baptisms at the Artz Church During the Civil War
Posted By Norman Gasbarro on September 12, 2016
The St. Paul United Church of Christ is located in Sacramento, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. It is also known as the “Artz Church.” During the Civil War it was a union church serving both Lutheran and Reformed congregations.
A transcription of the church records, which cover the period from 1839 to 1912, was made in 1937 and deposited at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg in 1970 by the then-archivist, Pastor Frederick S. Weiser. The records are currently available and name-searchable on Ancestry.com.
Civil War period records include baptisms and lists of communicants with dates of communion services. Marriage and death records are limited to the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century.
The following is an extract of the baptisms conducted during the Civil War, 1861-1865. Note: Information is faithful to the spelling in the typed transcription.
