General Notes: Husband - Alexander Mack, Jr.

---

He was born at Swartzenau, in Witgensteinland, and came with his father to America in 1729.
He was called to the ministry on the first day of June, 1748, and on the tenth day of June, 1753, he was advanced to the office of elder or bishop by the imposition of hands, at which time the care of the church at Germantown, Pennsylvania, was publicly laid upon him

From manuscripts that were in possession of Abram H. Cassel, at Harleysville, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania:\emdash As regards the character of Alexander Mack, Jr., he is represented as a sincere, good man, much given to retirement; by occupation a stocking weaver; and as his worldly possessions were but small, so his wants were but few, which made his contentment equally complete.
In his public preaching it is said he did not manifest much oratory, but with the pen he was very ready and fluent. He had a particular talent for poetry, as many hundred of his verses and poetic stanzas still exist. He possessed a remarkable degree of sagacity and discernment, so that no art could ensnare him or hypocrisy beguile him.
His last words were: "Num reisz ich gegen Morgen, wer mit will der mach sich eilends fertig." Although he was as well yet as usual, he had a strange presentiment of his dissolution being near. He therefore composed the following epitaph for his grave-stone, which he brought to his daughter, Anna Fox, telling her that his departure was at hand now, and that this was his last visit to her, as it proved to be. The epitaph could long be seen on his tomb-stone in the Brethren's grave-yard, in Germantown, in the following words:
"Gott! der uns hat aus staub gemacht,
Und wiederum\emdash zu staub gebracht,
Wird zeugen seiner weisheit-macht,
Wann wir nach seinem bild erwacht."
