was receivd among the ????? right at In the year 1753 I ???
to Ebersdorf where I work'd som????? at my Trade till in the year 1755 I ???
had the care of the Dining Room an Sleeping Hall.
In the year 1766 I became School and Recouing Master at Irebus,
But my ill State of Health preventing me from attending this Business so
faithfully as I could have wish'd, I gave it up to Another Brother, and
removed to my Choir House at Neisky, where in the year 1766 I was
receiv'd an Acccoluth. After I had a little regain'd my Health I was called
to an Employment at Barby, where I arrived the 21st of March 1767
Thus far his Own Words.
His continual Ill Health preventing his Business, He desired to be
taken again in the Choir House . and therefore accepted the call
to the Brns House here, with great Joy, and came hither the 3d of
October 1767 tho  though his ill Health continued here, yet he performd
the Office of Watchman of his Choir, with great faithfulness, had a
quiet cheerful and happy Walk among us, and testified a Desire
to go to Astracan; But it soon appeard our Saviour had other Inten
=tions with him, for the 17th of October he took to his Bed. His
Illness which began with pain in the side, increas'd so, that it
was plain our Saviour hasten'd with his happiness; That blessed
Moment came the 19 Instant, in the afternoon when he departd
to ever Lasting Rest, during a fine Lihirgie, with the Blessing of
his Choir, and the Cong.n in the 57th Year of his Age.
