While many of the German settlors, unacquainted with the English langua e and therefore lnoaple of taking part in publio affairs, were content to remain sqvar^l years as aliens, and whoso names therefore seldom appear on thq public Records, Mr. Board with fTvlgor that characterized his \

after life, lrn-nedlately assumed jila place as sin active and energetic citizen. He did not at first settle within the corpor¬ ate limits of the town but opened up a farm on Crane Creek, near the DrJ.nglo'n Kerry Road. He uftnrvmrdn owned the lot on which the Court house now stands and erected a large dwelling house thereon. In 1768, he was bereaved of a beloved daughter and having laid her in a grave on a lot of his own, he made the'^vUn, name year, a title to said lot of one hundrod and Corty square poles to certain Trustees of the Evangelical Lutheran Churoh t of Salisbury. These Truotoos were "To oroct and build thereon *

a church for the only proper use and bolioof of the said German Lutheran Congregation forever". This lot given by Mr. Beard la known an the "Lutheran graveyard" on which formerly stood the Lutheran Church.
