General Notes: Husband - Rev. John Ruthrauff


He was a native of York County, Pennsylvania, and came to Greencastle, Franklin County, previous to 1795, and under his pastorate the Lutheran Brick Church was built, and the first Lutheran Sunday school was held. He was pastor for thirty-eight years. He was also a farmer and owned 200 acres of land one mile and a quarter west of Greencastle. He built a grist-mill in 1810, the first erected on that site; it was burned in 1827, and rebuilt by him.
