Born in Hesse-Darmstadt
September 4, 1796
A fearless advocate
of Liberty and Justice.
Exiled for conscience sake,
he sought in America the freedom
denied him in the Old World.
Distinguished
for rich and varied learning,
for uncompromising devotion to
the cause of the oppressed
and enslaved, and for the simplicity
and integrity of his character.
He organized in this town
the Free Christian Church
and became its first pastor.
Designed the octagon meeting house
here erected and on his way to
its dedication was lost in the
burning of the steamboat
"Lexington"
on Long Island Sound
January 13, 1840.
