First German Emigrants Reach America October 6

Il was on October 6, 1888, that the first

July "A. and after a rather long, but not
unpleasant voyage. they reached Phila-
delphia, October 6.
During the seventeenth century social
conditions In Germany were frightful. A
peculiar sect, closely akin to the Quak-
ers in England, was the object OF bitter
persecution. William Penn visited Ger
many and stirred up the religious peo-
pie to such sympathy with his views that
Pastorius. himself. son OF a judge. and
OF high education, gathered a colony OF
Mennonites, weavers from Crefeld on the
Rhine. started for America, landed at
Philadelphia. settled north of the city,
and established Germantown.
William Penn wrote of Pastorius that
he was sober. upright, wise, and plous-
a man everywhere esteemed and OF I'M
spotted name" On October Y, Pastorius
received a warrant for 800 acres of land,
ION behalf of the German and Dutch
purchasers" and on the Path they began
laying out the town. AS were the 9TH

more than a mere dugout.
The German colonists brought 10 their
new home, however. the textile arts OF
manufacture. Most of them from Gre

Of the place for its manufacture Of linen
was soon established. and the poem by
Richard Frame. 1892. describes:
The German town of which I spoke be-
fore.
Which is at least in length one mile or
