General Notes: Husband - Rev. Philip Gloninger

---

Having acquired the necessary preparatory education in the schools of his native town he entered Dickinson College, where he early completed his literary course. Subsequently he studied divinity under the Rev. C. L. Becker, D.D., of Baltimore, one of the most distinguished theologians and pulpit orators of the age. At a meeting of the Reformed Synod, held at Germantown, Pennsylvania, in the autumn of 1808, Mr. Gloninger was present, and presented a call from the Reformed Church at Harrisburg, with the request that he be "placed over them as their pastor." At the same Synod he was ordained. Beside the congregation at Harrisburg there were four others in his charge,-Shoop's, Wenrich's, Middletown, and Hummelstown. He soon became prominent in his church, and was appointed by Synod one of the first two delegates sent by that body to the Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church. Owing to "bodily infirmities," he resigned his charge in June, 1814. He returned to Lebanon, where he later died.
