MAN OF THE BOOK 
by DONALD F. DURNBAUGH 
At 9:00 A.M. \on Monday, January 12, 1874, Elder Henry Kurtz of Colum 
biana, Ohio, was found in his favorite rocking chair, his lifeless hands holding 
one of his well-loved volumes. The septuagenarian publisher, communitarian 
advocate, and Brethren churchman expired as lIe had lived - as a man of 
the book.' 
Kurtz was born on July 22, 1796, in the duchy of Wtirttemberg, the son 
of George Jacob (d. 846) and Regina Henrietta Kurtz (d. 1857). His 
. hoolteacher father saw to it that Henry received a solid classical educa 
tion, but it was the mother, in his later estimation, who provided him in-
ruction in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord." Though small in 
_ ature, young Kurtz had a quick, incisive mind and a strong voice. He 
.,.ould make a good teacher or preacher, relatives remarked.~ 
Yet, he did not go on to a German university to prepare himself for one 
or the professions. Instead, in ~ he joined the massive migration of 
Europeans to the young and bustlmg llDited States of America. The ter 
rs and uncertainties of the Napoleonic Wars,followed by the repressive 
licies imposed by Prince Metternich, frustrated the plans of many an am 
hi ious German during this period. Freedom and opportunity beckoned 
'rom the New World. 
After arrival in Philadelphia, Kurtz settled in Northampton County, 
Pennsylvania, where he was soon offered a position as schoolteacher. He 
cd this position adequately for two years. Then he felt a calling to pre 
roTe himself for the Lutheran ministry. In reflecting on his feelings at that 
!' e, Kurtz later wrote: 
After years of folly and godlessness I finally thought better of it 
and came to the conclusion: I desire to become a Christian .... Soon 
ft!te rwards, the intention ripened in me to become a minister (Christen 
[ellrer) ... and all too soon, my zeal of the newly-converted brought 
me to the work of an evangelical preacher." 
He presented himself to the Lutheran General Synod at Baltimore in 
J une 1819, where he was "directed to place himself under a suitable in 
s ructor in order to continue his studies." As a catechist, he l'eceived a call 
fro m the Plainfield congregation in Northampton County, and took up the 
duties of this first charge on August 8, 1819:'

Kurtz soon settled into his work as a shepherd Yof the flock. 
same time he met and married Anna Catherine Loehr, daughter of a , 
immigrant, the tailor and farmer Frederick Loehr. The marriag \\ 
emnized on January 9, 1821. Catherine was to become the mother of " 
four sons and a steady support for the young husband during the 
times ahead.

The fonnal record of Kurtz's ministry found in the denominational . 
indicates that he made excellent progress in his work. The se io-
1820 and 1821 heard "favorable testimonies for Mr. Kurtz, from 
gregation of Plainfield." His labors brought advancement to ord' 
In one year he reported 116 baptized, 55 confinned, 252 comm 
and 4 schools in progress.
G 
Kurtz himself, however, became profoundly discouraged during t . 
over the lack of betterment in the lives of his parishioners. He ha 
up his pastoral work "full of hope of the good which he, with lh 
God, could institute." Yet, he had to recognize that the parish ion r 
had been a drunkard when he [Kurtz] came was one still." This rea . 
caused the idealistic young pastor to lose his optimism and zeaL He 
to doubt whether he even possessed the pure evangelical gospel whi 
been such a powerful force for good in early Christianity.7 
Just at this juncture, in 1823, a call came to Kurtz from the G 
United Evangelical Church in Pittsburgh to be pastor. This con !" 
which included both Lutheran and Reformed members, had fir t co, . 
gether in 1782. Some authorities have claimed that it is the oldc ,t 
congregation in North America, although legal incorporation did no 
about until 1821.
8 
Kurtz bid goodby to his Plainfield congregation after four years of 
to take up the challenge of the Pittsburgh pastorate. In his Own 
he looked forward to the new charge with happy anticipation as 0 • 
a "more promising field of activity as a preacher, a more appropria e • 
dence for the education of my children, a better opportunity fo r m\' 
training and advancement in that which is good and useful." Hc ,,:

His early efforts in Pittsburgh in attacking the accumulated pr • 
of the congregation were promising. One serious difficulty had resulted f.. 
a schism between the Lutheran and the Reformed members and th \\ 
had not completely healed. A rapid turnover of ministers had no 
for hannony in the church. The immediate problem, however, was fi

• finances in order, Kurtz took up the more difficult problem of the 
condition of the parish which, he said, had the sorry distinction 
the least disciplined congregation in America. Although warned 
taking the charge, he had taken up the work at this particular 
because he was eager to show what he could do to gather a scattered 
approach was to refonnulate the church discipline, and his proposal 
~ted to his church board in May 1824. This was debated point

new discipline, which spelled out the duties and rights of the 
as well as those of the pastor.ll But when Kurtz attempted to im

late fall, 1826, in order to prevent a permanent split in the congregat ~ 
and to end the squabble which was scandalizing the church-going Pittsbu..rg 
population.]; 
How had a Lutheran pastor become involved with religious communit . 
ianism, the preaching of which had such drastic results for his own C8 ~: 
Kurtz had first become interested in the concept in 1824 when filt 
Gelman families from Pittsburgh invited him to go West with them " 
settle on government lands. Although he declined the request, he bc~~ 
to think of ways in which such settlement could be developed on a thorou 
going Christian basis. During this same period he and those who support 
him within the congregation came to the conclusion that real Christiani ~ 
could be practiced only in separation, apart from the sullying practices. 
distracting influences of the world. 
With these themes already running in his mind, he needed only a cata . " 
to begin concrete communitarian planning. This came in the person of t 
famous Scotch reformer, philanthropist, and community builder, Robe 
Owen (1771-1858). The much-discussed foreigner gave his first Ameri 
public lecture in Pittsburgh on January 22, 1825. He had just re turn 
from southern Indiana where he had purchased the land and bull 'in~ 
of the Rappite "Harmony" community in order to establish his own UK" 
Harmony." Owen was to be listened to with deep interest by some of 
most powerful men in the country, and even granted the use of the ~ 
of Congress for his addresses.
' 8 
Kurtz attended Owen's lecture in Pittsburgh and was so taken \ L... 
the vision of an improved society made possible by community pI ann' 
that he arranged for personal interviews with the Scotch leader.'° Throu .. 
Owen's recommendation, he came into contact with the Rappite t 
ment, which, after selling its flourishing Indiana site, had recently (1 2.; 
moved back to the banks of the Ohio not far from the original 1805 Penn 
sylvania settlement. 
When Kurtz and his friends visited Economy, they "saw and h 
things which gave them plentiful food for thought, and for the pI' -
persuaded them that many ills which seemed unavoidable in the gen 
society ... could be completely disposed of through a diiIerent arran · 
ment of the social system." They assiduously studied the material p 
lished by Owen, but soon came to the conclusion that, despite the ex 
lence of his economic ideas, his plan was doomed to fail because of it 
radical rejection of any religious basis. The publication of Owen's notori w> 
"Declaration of the Freedom of the Spirit" on July 4, 1826, which inc1u " 
freedom from the bonds of matrimony in the sexual realm, was proof f 
Kurtz and his group that Owen was sadly in error.
20 
Encouraged by the general enthusiasm abroad for communitarian 
periment but unwilling to link themselves with the secular Owenite mo\ 
ment, Kurtz and his colleagues issued on August 10, 1825, a pro 
for the establishment of a "German Christian Industrial-Community," la! 
to be designated "Concordia." This announcement was published in sev 
·NH.Y KURTZ 
lUi 
erman language newspapers 111 Pennsylvania. The response was favor 
b e enough that Kurtz began in September 1825 to publish a monthly 
mn azine dedicated to this communitarian proposition. 
The periodical was significantly named Paradise Regained (Das Wieder 
funde ne P.aradies) .~1 An ambitious six-point platform was laid down in 
he first issue: 1. to expose evils in church and civil life; 2. to test the 
previously-used remedies therefor and demonstrate their insufficiency; 3. to 
n'O te the events of the day which held significance; 4. to describe primitive 
ri tianity in its original shape and form and to publicize it as the only 
means of restoring human happiness; 5. to inform others of the progress of 
those communities which apply this means; and 6. to bring together all 
t.'nuine Christians no matter what their denominational affiJiation might be.
2Z 
Kurtz laid down the theological base for the undertaking in a "sermon," 
hich in printed form extended over several issues. Notably influenced 
· the religious concepts of Jacob Boehme (1575-1624) and Gottfried 
Arnold (1666-1714) , he found the three major problems of the church 
o be the hierarchical structure, creedalism, and the confusion of Christianity 
'th philosophy. The threefold answer to these problems could be found 
· improving one's own heart, organizing Christian communities, and in 
uoducing strict discipline in the church. Complete decay of Christianity 
rould be staved off only by returning to the "first love" or simplicity of 
~ early Christians, the simplicity of the Gospel, and the simplicity of 
na ture. Where better, than in America, the land of religious freedom, to realize 
t esc aims?23 
This appeal met with a gratifying response. Nearly fifty families expressed 
!ally or in writing their willingness to join such a community within 
c month, but the Concordia leadership felt that such an important step 
d hardly be taken so precipitously. Through the medium of the Para 
I." 'e Regained the leaders would first gather friends and funds, and in 
. ' e meantime look for a suitable location. Two possibilities for settlement 
.. P nnsylvania were presented - one on the west branch of the Susque 
nna (evidently the Juniata Valley was meant), the other on the Allegheny 
· 'er near Lake Erie. 
. De:' pite the optimism expressed in the columns of the periodical, Kurtz 
. If was not in an advantageous position. This was the period of the 
t er trife in the congregation of which he was still pastor, despite ir-
1ar payment of salary. The costs of printing the paper were also burden 
e. By the first of the next year (1826) his financial situation was most 
romfortable. In January he appealed to George Rapp, the Harmonist 
triar h, for an advance of one hundred dollars which would enable him 
o continue issuing the periodical without the necessity of raising more 
money from his friends; he was prepared to encumber his piano, horse, 
boo · I and furniture as security for the loan. 
I~ is not clear whether the request was granted. However, Rapp evidently 
'DYlted Kurtz (during a visit the latter made in February or March) to 
the Economy community as a teacher, since Kurtz raised details about 
120 OHIO HISTUH'l 
books he would need as texts to run a school along Pestalozzi method~. 
But he decided, finally, not to go to Economy. Given the pastor's stron 
will, it could well be that he preferred to carry through his own communa 
project rather than to accept Rapp's leadership.2.t 
Later in March 1826, Kurtz proceeded with the publication of an ab 
breviated draft of a constitution for the Christian Industrial Community 
(Concordia). The draft leaned heavily on the model of Owen's New Harmony, 
the constitution of which had been published by Kurtz earlier, with ::10 
obvious difference in the strong religious orientation of the Concordia pro 
posal. Rules for the incorporation of a "Preliminary Community" \\~ 
four different classes of members depending upon the amount of caplt 
invested were announced at the same time.
2G 
In late May, June, and July 1826, in conjunction with the annual m t 
ing of the synod at Berlin, Pennsylvania, Kurtz travelled through th 
eastern states seeking support for his communitarian idea. Those who hl! 
no interest in joining the enterprise personally were urged to support th 
plan with gifts of money and books, the latter to become the basis of th 
library which played a prominent role in the concept of Concordia. 
One of the most encouraging visits was to the Dunker colony of Bloom 
ing Grove, north of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Kurtz had previously re 
ceived correspondence from the leader of the community, the German-~m 
Dr. Friedrich Conrad Haller (1752-1828). On his visit he was much lID 
pressed by the high quality of Christian life there in the isolated set~n 
among the trees. In later years he was to remain in touch with the BloomlO 
Grove Dunkers.
20 
On the whole, however, the t rip was a failure. Kurtz wrote a mo t d' -
cOUl'aged letter back to his friends in Pittsburgh in which he candidly ad 
mitted that he had met with so much suspicion that often he did not ha\'C 
the will to speak on behalf of Concordia. It was rumored that the plan w 
based on speculation for private profit. Even worse, the troubles which 
Kurtz was experiencing with his congregation made it appear as if the co~­
munity-idea was a means to improve his own shaky fortunes. So keenly <li 
he feel the rebuff that he made a solemn renunciation of any future office 
or position of leadership in the community when it was formed.
2
' 
During Kurtz's absence a meeting was called by his friends to be h I 
in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, in September. Three points were to be ~e­
cided. First, how many persons were actually ready to enter ConCOrdJll; 
second, how much capital was available; and third, where and when th 
first settlement was to be located. A certain impatience with delay w. 
evident.
28 
The Greensburg meeting was supplemented by another in Sprin -
field, Ohio, in October 1826. It was found that thirty families had report 
and were ready to enter the community; three to four thousand dol1ano 
of capital had been pledged by those not present at the meetings and 
"several thousand" dollars were promised by the signatories of the report. 
Land on the Tuscarawas River near New Philadelphia, Ohio, had been 
chosen as the site of the colony. Another meeting was called for February 
"NRY KURTZ i Z.l 
7 in Springfield to be "the last preparatory meeting with the help of 
Go for erecting- our institution."20 
The signers of the report along with Kurtz were Johann G. Mayer, 
CO rge Ziegler, Michael Gebhard, J. Jacob Rtitlinger, and George Mayor. 
. ye r, Ziegler and Rtitlinger all had had some prior connection with the 
Rappite movement. Mayer was a friend and correspondent of George Rapp; 
Z'e ler had purchased the first settlement of the Rappites in Beaver County, 
n r Pittsburgh (although in the end he was not able to raise all the money 
;>romised); Ri.itlinger was associated with a group who hoped to gain some 
o.f lhe Harmony wealth by legal action.
3o 
Kurtz now broke completely with the Pittsburgh congregation and some 
time between October and January moved with his family from Pennsylvania 
'0. lark County, Ohio, near the anticipated site of Concordia.
31 
They had 
l. difficult time for a period, and were dependent upon gifts of food from 
neighbor. This was a time of provisional nature, of waiting until the 
unity could be established. However, there is some indication that 
1{urtz was changing his mind about the wisdom of the communal enterprise. 
While waiting, he occupied himself with the second volume of his periodical, 
. ted in Canton by John Sala. It was given the title The Peace Messenger 
0. Concordia (Der Friedensbote von Concordia) .32 The four aims listed in 
th first issue all centered on peace: peace with God; peace in the family; 
ce with neighbors; peace in the Church. Almost as an afterthought the 
edi tor-publisher mentioned that the Peace Messenger would "report from 
time to time material that is presented" to it about developments on Con 
cordia.'a The contents were not limited to communitarianism, but were de-
- ed to be of interest to the broader Gelman population and included 
ys, stories, and poetry. 
In answer to queries from friends, Kurtz replied that his aims were not 
tarian; he still considered himself to be a Lutheran and a member of 
e synod. The 1827 synod of western Pennsylvania noted that "Pastor 
Kurtz was absent without excuse." His whereabouts were thought to be 
!\ew Harmony.54 About this same time he had an interesting sennon 
printed in eastern Pennsylvania. The sermon on the theme, "God is love," 
dedicated to his "dear congregation of Northampton and all of his 
friends of that area." It was perhaps meant as a kind of valedictory to his 
Teer as a Lutheran pastor.35 
The next development in the Concordia story is found in the published 
port of a meeting of those interested in the community that was held in 
Canton on September 28, 1827. Kurtz provided a summary history of the 
movement and made a full accounting of subscribers, capital raised, and 
ks donated. He made it clear that he wished to remove any possibility 
f . picion that any money donated had been used to defray his own needs. 
he actual amount in cash raised had been $367.50; paying subscribers 
() ed 237. He declared that he could not continue much longer with the 
h]jcation, which was not meeting expenses, unless a large number of un 
d issues were purchased. This would enable him to buy a house in Canton

in which a school could be established. It is evident from the tone of the 
report that hope was waning, even in the irrepressible heart of Kurtz, that 
the community would ever become more than a proposal on paper. sa 
The final number of the Peace Messenger (December 1827) contains 
the notice of the establishment of another community in Springfield Towll 
ship, Columbiana County (later Mahoning County), Ohio. Kurtz welcomed 
the new effort, named T eut onia,37 and said that he was willing to dona e 
the monies he had collect ed for Concordia to it, thus fulfilling the pled ". 
made to the donors. The community was led by Peter Kaufmann (1800-1869) . 
at one time a teacher for Rapp. Kaufmann had left Economy because he 
did not share the religious views of the German patriarch, which includ 
eschatology, celibacy, and a strict discipline under autocratic leadership. 
The charter members of Teutonia included disgruntled Rappites and som 
of Kurtz's erstwhile associates. It seems that they shifted their loyalti 
to the Kaufmann-led venture when the lack of progress of Concordia be 
came evident. Following an early period of success, Teutonia was dissoh' 
amicably in 1831, and a division of assets was made among the members, 
who resumed private life.
38 
This was the prosaic end of the vision of Con 
cordia. Kurtz penned the obituary to his communitarian dreams when he 
commented on Teutonia, "I am not minded to institute anything of this 
nature myself."Do . 
Despite this second failure, Kurtz had found something in northeastern 
Ohio which was to reshape his entire life. The religious pilgrimage which 
had taken him into the Lutheran ministry and then toward religious com 
munitarianism had brought him also into contact with the German Baptist 
Brethren or Dunkel's (now Church of the Brethren),'O Here he found II 
movement to which he could give his life, as the Dunkel's' concern for 
disciplined church membership and conscious patterning of church praeti -
after the life of the early Christian church incorporated the ideals for which 
he had been contending. 
It is not known precisely how Kurtz came in touch with the Brethren. 
As a resident of eastern Pennsylvania, where their heaviest concentration 
was found, he could have learned of them during his early ministry in 
Northampton County. His pleasant encounter with the Dunkel'S of Bloom 
ing Grove has already been related, although the communitarian aspect of 
their life was atypical for the Brethren.
H 
The first definite indication of hi 
shift in religious views is found in the criticism he made of the new Teutonia 
community for not stressing three-fold immersion baptism. More pointedly 
he devoted most of the last issue of the Peace Messenger to a series of . 
ninety-five questions and answers on this topic, perhaps a reflection of 
Luther's ninety-five theses. Taking the pseudonym "Christian Heimreich," 
he emphatically rejected infant baptism and defended the institution of 
believers' baptism.42 
Elder George Hoke of Canton baptized Kurtz, and it may well be that 
he also had a part in his conversion:
'3 
Hoke was a staunch Brethren leader. 
noted for his doctrinal clarity and conviction; the friendship between the 
1 RY KURT Z J t..u 
men was a deep and lasting one. The baptism took place under a large 
'rec on the Royer farm in Stark County, Ohio, on April 6, 1828. Presum 
ab y, Mrs. Kurt z was baptized on the same occasion:
'4 
According to a 
u hter of Elder Hoke, Kurtz wore his Lutheran pastoral robe, and upon 
'ng from the water after immersion allowed the gown to slip from his 
(lUlders and float down the stream, thus symbolizing his rejection of his 
t office.
45 
l'wo years later Kurtz was elected to the "free ministry" of the Brethren, 
lJl\'olving the ministerial duties of preaching and visit ing without remuner 
·:o n. Expenses could be reimbursed if the minister was not financially able 
bear them himself. (The employment of salaried pastors did not become 
<'Ommon among the Brethren until the turn of the century.) Eleven years 
• ter he was placed in charge of the Mill Creek Church in Mahoning County. 
is responsibility involved a forty-mile horseback ride once a month 
til the spring of 1842, when he moved his family to a farm near Poland 
that county. On September 26, 1844, he was ordained an elder, the 
hi e t church office in the basically congregational Brethren polity. He 
: 'ed at Mill Creek faithfully for thirty years, and was held in great love 
d re pect by the members. Under his leadership the membership grew 
~eadily in size, despite repeated withdrawals of those who joined the general 
tward migration of the time/a 
The striking change in Henry Kurtz's religious affiliation did not go 
'thout notice. Relatives and former parishioners in Northampton County 
rc part icularly shocked at his "apostasy." They sufIered "sore distress 
ha t on e so dearly beloved should make such a shipwreck of his faith." In 
d, one of his wife's cousins, Friedrich Peter Loehr (1803-1880), resolved 
the summer of 1828 to visit and reconvert him. Despite two days of in 
-ive conversation and pleading, Loehr failed in the attempt. On his 
y home he mulled over the discussion, became convinced that his rela 
-vc was right, and returned to him to request ba ptism! Loehr, himself, 
...tIer became a Dunker preacher and elder, active in the ministry in In 
na and MichiganY 
From 1829 on the histories of Kurtz and the Brethren merge. For Kurtz, 
e Brethren were people whose lives and beliefs coincided with his under-
Handing of God's will for the church. For the Brethren, Kurtz proved to 
a leader whose influence has been reckoned as the most powerful in 
haping the course of the denomination in the nineteenth century.48 The 
ey to his leadership is found in the publishing enterprise he established. 
Inasmuch as Kurtz could not expect a means of livelihood to follow from 
" affiliation with the Brethren, he decided to support his family by a com 
'na tion of farming and printing. First at Osnaburg and then near Poland, 
hio, he farmed to provide a living for his family, but lived for his publishing 
mivity. 
The first book credited to him is Die Kleine Lieder-Sammlung, printed in 
nton by Solomon Sala in 1829, but issued originalJy in Hagerstown in 
~26. He publi,shed at least seven later editions of this little songbook, 
J. ,,'1 OHIO HISTORY 
which became standard among Brethren congregations." u In the early 1830's 
Kurtz secured a press of his own, most likely from the Sala family of Canton. 
The first published item (1832) seems to have been a primer or ABC book, , 
with Osnaburg given as the place of publication. He reprinted this book 
at least twice later.5o The following year he printed a large volume con 
taining a portion of the works of Menno Simon in German translation. 
In the preface to the book by the sixteenth century Anabaptist leader, 
Kurtz noted that his purposes in publishing this work were twofold: to 
earn an honest living for his family and to be of help to his fellow pilgrims 
on the Christian way. He had been given a complete set of Menno's writ 
ings in Dutch, which he hoped to translate and print at half-year intervals. 
As no further volume in the projected series is known, it may be assumed 
that the venture was not profitable enough for him to carryon after the 
first attempt.
51 
Two years later he printed another Mennonite book, this 
time upon the initiative of t wo Mennonite ministers, Daniel and Peter 
Steiner of Wayne County, Ohio. It was a compilation of morning and eve 
ning prayers and hymns written by Anabaptist martyrs.G2 
Also in 1833-34 Kurtz attempted a weekly paper, Das Wochenblatt, 
which, however, failed "for want of patronage."S3 He found a more valuable 
item in an English counterpart of the small German hymnal, the Choice 
Selection of Hymns, from Various Authors, Recommended for the Worship 
of God. This was readily accepted among the Brethren and became known 
as the hymnal of the "Far Western Brethren," in which "far west" meant 
the present Midwest. Six later editions of the Choice Selection are known, 
and more may have been printed.
G4 
In 1836 the printer tried once more 
to issue a periodical. This time it was a monthly entitled Testimonies of 
Truth or Zeugnisse der Wahrheit. It featured German and English texts 
in parallel columns. Each issue had twenty-four pages and sold for six 
and one-quarter cents. A year's subscription, if paid upon receipt of the 
first number, cost fifty cents. As only the first two issues are extant, this 
venture likely failed to find subscribers.55 
More successful was a New Testament in the German translation of Martin 
Luther. This significant publication, among t he earliest biblical publications 
in the state of Ohio, included a listing of the "so-called epistles and evangels," 
or prescribed texts, for each Sunday. Kurtz, as a former Lutheran pastor, 
could not entirely omit them, but he felt obliged to state that they "by no 
means belong to the New Testament."s,a 
In 1837 he was appointed clerk of the Brethren yearly meetings, or an 
nual conferences. This post brought the opportunity of printing the minutes 
of the meeting, held at Pentecost each year. Beginning in 1837, Kurtz 
published the minutes in both German and English editions, usually with 
both languages in the same booklet, although occasionally they are found 
in separate editions. He also printed at least one year's minutes for the 
German Reformed Synod of Ohio/'; 
Another aspect of Kurtz's printing activity was the medical guide

for the cooling Qt foods,uO However, he could not give all of his time to h'" 
private interests, as his ministerial duties entailed many lengthy trip;: 
An example was his journey to Virginia in April and May 1845, wi th 
fellow Ohio elder. They were joined in their visits to congregations the 
by John Kline (1797-1864), a Jeading Brethren churchman. A sermon 
preached by Kurtz on this trip was noted in outline form in Kline's diary. 
The major point was the necessity of ministers to avoid the search for 
glory; they should rather seek to honor God in all humility. The t rip w " 
timed to include the Brethren yearly meeting held on May 9-10 in Roanok 
County, Virginia. One year previously he had been named to the "standin~ 
committee" of elders, the inner circle of trusted churchmen who prepar 
the business agenda for the conference.\{; I 
The most important publishing venture for Kurtz and for the Brethren 
was the church periodical he began in 1851-The Gos L..:!/,isi;tor.
62 
Thib 
periodical, although later merged with 'O't1le'rs and published in various 10' 
cations, is still being issued, making it one of the oldest American denomin;l · 
tiona 1 journals. Why did Kurtz attempt this publication when three of 
similar nature had failed? He was convinced of the burning need of such 
a paper for the good of the church. As the Brethren migrated across tht' 
country, it was no longer possible to preserve the unity of the brotherhood 
by personal visits. Another method was needed. A schism in Indiana o\' 
doctrinal issues demonstrated clearly to him the need for a forum where 
problems of the faith could be shared and answers communicated. 
Just as clearly as he saw the need for a paper, he saw the obstacles facin 
him. Such an enterprise would be opposed by the more conservative elders. 
who would consider it a worldly innovation. The experience of Abraham 
Harley Cassel (1820-1908) of Harleysville, Pennsylvania, a supporter 0 
the project, is indicative of some of the reactions Kurtz was trying to fore 
stall. This friend had had more than fifty families in his congregation in· 
terested in subscribing to the proposed periodical until a Lancaster County 
elder, who came to Harleysville for the fall love feast, spoke so strongly 
against the idea that not many of the local people were still willing to fol· 
low through.o3 
Before printing the fi rst issue, Kurtz set out to overcome this suspicion 
of the Brethren. In July 1849 he sent out queries to a large number of con· 
gregations explaining his idea and asking for subscriptions. He needed 
the assurance of a definite number of subscribers in order to undertake the 
sizable financial risk of beginning the enterprise. In a letter to Cassel h 
disclosed that, of those who replied, nine-tenths wished to have solely an 
English edition. A German edition would have to be issued separately. "All 
I hope for," wrote Kurtz, "is that the German and English should breathe 
one spirit of love, union, and forbearance."04 The editor's hope was to be 
able to print trial copies before the 1850 yearly meeting and submit them 
for the decision of the conference. This hope was not realized, however, 
because of illness in the family on whom he was dependent for assistance. 
Instead, the meeting's response to the query that asked: "Whether there

any danger to be apprehended from publishing a paper among us?" was 
table the request for one year.u:; 
This apparent evasiveness notwithstanding, Kurtz decided to go ahead 
the project until he was specifically forbidden to do so by the church. 
· .e therefore issued the first number of The Gospel Visitor in April 1851 
n ent it to those who he thought would be willing to introduce the 
h 'cation in their neighborhoods. Excerpts from his preface give further 
. hts into his motives in beginning the paper: 
Thousand of presses are daily working in this our country, and are 
, uing a miltitude of publications, some good, some indifferent and 
me, alas! to 'many absolutely bad and hurtful. They find their way 
not only in every village, but we may say, into every family or cabin 
, our land ... Now if this be the case, should we not use every means 
in our power, to counteract the evil tendencies of our time, and to 
bor in every possible way for the good of our fellowmen, and for 
the glory of God and his truth as it is in Christ Jesus? ... But we are 
ked: What do you want to print, and what is your object? We will 
t ry to answer in a few words. We are as a people devoted to the truth, 
it is in Christ Jesus. We believe the church as a whole, possesses 
understandingly that truth, and every item of it. But individually we 
128 OHIO HlSTO 
are a 1 learners, and are progressing with more or less speed in the 
knowledge of the truth. For this purpose we need each other's assistance. 
But we live too far apart. If one in his seeking after a more perfect 
knowled~e becomes involved ~n difficulty, which he is unable to over 
come, thIS paper opens unto hIm a channel, of stating his difficulty, and 
we have not the least doubt, but among the many readers there will be 
s,?me one,. who .has past the same difficult place, and can give such ad 
VIce, as WIll satIsfy the other. on 
The anxiously awaited decision of the 1851 yearly meeting read: "Co 
sidered, at this council, that we will not forbid Bro. Henry Kurtz to go n 
with the paper for one year; and that all the brethren or churches will im 
partially examine the Gospel Visitor, and if found wrong, or injuriou 
let them send their objections at the next Annual Meeting."o; Kurtz th !l 
proceeded with his publication, which included discussions on church h' -
tory, congregational news, doctrinal questions, and correspondence in 
neatly printed periodical. The subscription list grew steadily. 
The annual meeting of 1852 decided that in consideration of both po it i \: 
and negative reactions received, the paper "could not be forbidden" an 
that it should continue to "stand or fall on its merits." One y~ar later the 
same body closed discussion of the matter by resolving that: "Inasmu . 
as the Gospel Visitor is a private undertaking of its editor, we unanimou 
conclude that this meeting should not any further interfere with it."'" 
Beginning in April 1852, Kurtz published a companion journal in Germ. 
Der Evangelische Besuch. Although not identical with The Visitor, it 
much of the material from the English edition in translated form. A 
native German and one persuaded of the merits of German culture, 
was concerned that the use of German might be lost among the Brethren. 
For this reason he persevered with this edition until 1861, although be 
lost money on it most of the time.o
n 
From the start of this latest endeavor, Kurtz began looking for editorU 
colleagues who could help him and his family with the substantial labor: 
of issuing a twenty-four page monthly. In 1855 he found the right man in 
the person of James Quinter (1816-1888). In 1856 Quinter moved from 
Fayette County, Pennsylvania, to Poland and became assistant editor 
well as assistant clerk of the Brethren annual meetings. As Kurtz was u 
much more at home in his native German, it was an immense help to 113\ 
an English-trained aide. The assistant's chief duties were writing and editin 
suitable material in English. He proved to be so apt that he succee 
Kurtz as editor when the latter retired, and later served in the same capacil: 
for several other influential Brethren papers.;(1 
In 1856 Henry Holsinger (1833-1905) joined Kurtz for a time as an ap 
prentice. The young man's career included the publication of the first u  
cessful Brethren weekly, the first youth paper, and the first hymnal \\ith 
musical notation. In his papers, Holsinger vociferously championed chu 
reform and progressive ideas, so much so, in fact, that he was finally ex 
pelled by the Brethren in 1881. He took a large group with him and found 
the "Brethren Church" or "Progressive Brethren."" 
: NRY KURTZ 
l~ his lengthy history of the "Tunkers," Holsinger published some glimpses 
G! Kurtz and his home life: 
Elder Kurtz was a German of the Teutonic caste .... He was an ex 
ceUent german reader, and eloquent in prayer in his mother tongue, 
~ut .he Itated and almost stammered in English. He was very religious 
In hiS for~ns, and held family worship every evening, and frequently in 
he mornmg also. Under his charge I learned to exercise in prayer .... 
Brother I,\urtz was quite a musician, vocal and instrumental, and had 
an Ol:gan 111 th~ house, but rarely used it. I shall long remember one 
caslOn on whIch I heard him perform and sing one of his favorites. 
1 went tc? the house, where the editorial sanctum was, on business con 
iliccted wIth. the office. After entering the hall, I heard music, and finding 
e door. ajar, I stopped and listened until the hymn was complete, 
much delIghted with the strains.r2 
As the subscription list of the Gospel Visitor grew and the inconvenience 
nd isolation of the printing office became more burdensome, the publisher 
~\'ed his family to the town of Columbiana, Ohio, in June 1857. Also 
der consideration was the establishment of a school and seminary. This 
1" n did not materialize in Columbiana, but Kurtz and Quinter did es 
bli h an academy at nearby New Vienna, in October 1861. The school 
Jl ri hed until the exigencies of the war caused its closing in 1864.
73 
Although the periodical took most of Kurtz' attention, he did publish 
er material as well. In that day of intense enominational rivalry it is 
~t surprising that a limited amount of polemical literature issued from 
. pre.ss. One interchange involved the Mennonites, who shared many be 
. wIth the Brethren, but differed on the manner of baptism. a A Men 
.~ Ite publication was answered by John Kline, the Virginia Brethren 
der and friend of Kurtz, in a sixteen-page tract (1856). This called forth 
300-page book by the Mennonite editor of the previous publication. Kline 
<$pOnded with a booklet of some seventy pages. His literary duelist com-
d a 3l6-page answer to Kline's rebuttal, which, however, was never 
·bli hed. Perhaps cooler heads agreed that the effort was out of propor 
n to the problem.
75 
P ibly issued in connection with the same controversy was an undated 
;. ct on Christian baptism by Menno Simons, which immersionists have 
ntcndec1 calls for immersion baptism. Of course, if it could be demon-
• t d that the man for whom the Mennonites were named believed in 
• . ersion.' then it would seem incumbent on later followers to accept 
" pra bee. Mennonite scholars, however, deny that Menno so taught. 
. !bough no place of publication is given on the tract, it is clearly one of 
tz's publications.
70 
To show that he had not lost his hard-won irenic 
'ri t, it may be noted also that in 1861 he republished the well-known 
,·~gogical work of the Mennonite colonial schoolmaster, Christopher Dock. 
third edition was printed by Kurtz for a committee of Ohio Mennonites.
77 
One year earlier Kurtz had brought out a new translation of the oldest 
Brethren writings - two treatises by the first Brethren minister Alexander 
ack 1679-1735). Quinter polished the editor's English translations and 
provided a "memoir" of the life of Mack. Following a technique' used 
130 
OHIO HISTORY 
in earlier publications, the two treatises were printed in parallel column' 
of English and German.
78 
The last issue of volume fourteen of The Visitor of December 1864 in 
cluded a statement headlined "Valedictory," signed by the senior editor. 
Considerations of health and age, he wrote, led him to turn over the pub 
lication to Quinter and to his son, Henry J. Kurtz, for a nominal sum. He 
hoped to contribute from time to time, but wished to "retire from nctiv 
editorial labors."70 He, nevertheless, had another large project in mind. 
one for which he had been gathering material for many years. This was to 
be a Brethren's Encyclopedia, which would contain decisions of annuol 
meetings, early Brethren history, and other important data in one compact 
reference work. It was completed in 1867. Some have claimed that the ency 
clopedia, despite its obvious merits, did not become generally accepted amon 
the Brethren because of the frequency and freedom of the editorial judg 
ments employed in introducing the selections from the annual meetin 
minutes. The book, nonetheless, was reprinted by a Brethren group as late 
as 1922.80 
Kurtz's last publication on behalf of the church was the same as h' 
first - a hymnal. As chairman of a committee of the Brethren assigned 
to the task, he played a major role in compiling the Neue Sammlung von 
Psalmen, Lobgesangen und Geistlicher Lieder (1870), an arduous task 
made more difficult by illness.
81 
The final years of Kurtz's life were peaceful, although his health was 
not good. One break in the fairly uneventful flow of his days was a last 
visit to Germany, undertaken in December 1867, in order to see his sister. 
The sole remaining member of his German family, she had suffered a para 
lytic stroke.
82 
In January 1871 he celebrated with his wife their fiftieth wedding nn 
niversary. He now had leisure to enjoy his grandchildren, one of whom left 
the following description of him: 
He was a small man with a hump on his back, and he always used a 
cane when he walked. He took short, quick steps. He had rather long 
white hair, but the top of his head was bald and in cold weather he 
always wore a little silk cap to cover that bald spot. He had long white 
whiskers .... He used to get books to read that were very interesting. 
I remember the first one I brought home. After I was through readini! 
it he said he wanted to read it t oo. He wanted me to write what I had 
read about, and in my own words. Well, I did the best I could, for I loved 
him .... Sometimes he played on the organ and enjoyed teaching roe 
some little songs on Sunday afternoon after Sunday School. He gave 
me many good suggestions and rules to follow, which I remember and 
some which I have followed all my life.
83 
Although Kurtz resigned his duties as clerk of the annual meeting in 
1862, he remained active in the local congregation. The day before he died 
he preached a sermon. His death in 1874 was widely noted in the Brethren 
periodicals. One typical notice under the title, "Sad Intelligence," ran: 
We have received the sad news of the departure of Eld. Henry 
Kurtz. He died very suddenly .... Eld. Kurtz was extensively known

throughout the brotherhood as the originator of the Gospel Visitor, 
the pioneer paper of the brotherhood.
8
.' 
And so died Henry Kurtz. After a stormy early career, he found fulfill-
m nt with the Brethren. They in turn were led by his tactful but persistent 
proddings toward higher education, missions, an educated ministry, and 
other reforms. As he had intended, the Gospel-Visitor played a major role 
in preserving unity of the church, especially through the trying period of 
e Civil War which divided most Protestant denominations. As a preacher, 
, 
ublisher, and progressive leader, Henry Kurtz left his mark.
