| Elisabeth Loliger Strub Birth 19 Mar 1730 Death 20 Nov 1811 (aged 81) Burial Bethania Moravian God's Acre Bethania, Forsyth County, North Carolina, USA Add to Map Memorial ID 45602168 · View Source Memoir from the Moravian Diaries: Memoir, of our departed widowed Sister, Elisabeth Strub, maiden name Loliger, she fell asleep on Nov. 20, 1811, in Bethania, N.C. She was born on March 19, 1720, at Prattelen in Canton Basel,Switzerland,where her father carried on the work of a tailor. As her parents belonged to the Reformed Church, she was baptised and brought up in it, and in the course of time, when she was old enough, she was admitted to the Lord's Supper. When she was not quitea year old her mother passed out of time. As her father was very poor he gave her, in her eleventh year, to people who were not related to her, and in their service she had it very hard. Once when she was walking along the street carrying a bundle of wood, one of her god-mothers met her and asked her: "My dear god-child do you think often of the Saviour and often pray to Him?" She answered: "I have no time to go to church and pray, for I must work all the time." Her god-mother replied: "It is good and beautiful to go to church regularly and hear God's word, but that is not the most importantthing, If you cannot go to church you can still think about the Saviour and can pray to Him, and that in the midst of your work; for example; as you carry home this bundle of wood you can think. ‘Ohdear Saviour, out of wood was made the cross on which Thou wert nailed, and on it Thou hast atoned for my sins and hast won my salvation; let me feel the power of Thy blood and death in my heart.'" These words, said our Sister, were the first that caused her to think of herself and her course in life, and to make her heart uneasy. The other occurrence which touched her heart during this period was when the now departed Count van Zinzendorf and his daughter Benigna made a visit to Switzerland, and also stopped in her town. During their stay his daughter paid much attention to the single of her sex, and held private service for them. Our Sister heard of them, and led by curiosity was desirous of attending one of these meetings in order to hear what was talked about. So one day, on which such a meeting was to be held, she hurried to finish her day's work early, and then went to the meeting. The now departed Sister Benignamade an earnest and loving address, urging them to give themselves to the Saviour, body and soul, for He had bought them with His blood and death to be His property, the reward of His sufferings. Thismade such an impression on her heart that with increased concern and longing she thought about herself and her previous life. "From that time on," our Sister was went to say, "I date my first awakening, and while it did not go so far that I gave my heart entirely to the Saviour, still I could no more live unconcerned about my salvation." In the year 1749 she and a large number of Swiss families from her town and nearby places traveled to Philadelphia, (Pa.) with the old Heinrich Speenhauer, who in that year had made a visit from Pennsylvania to Switzerland. Then they reached land she found that she did not have enough money or other property to pay the ship's Captain for her passage, which greatly troubled her. Her distress becamethe greater when she saw all her companions transferred from the ship to land, some having themselves paid for their passage, and others having been bought free from the ship, while she alone was left behind, no one having been willing to pay for her. As in this deep distress she was alone on the ship, weeping bitterly ever her helplessness, a merchant named Casper Wuster came from the city, a man full of pity for the poor and needy. He heard of her on the ship, and asked her why she wept? She told him all her trouble, and her and he comforted her, and said: "I will pay your debt to the Captain, and set you free; find a place where you can serve, where you can earn that you need, and repay gradually what I advance for you.: Oh how happy and thankful was she, that in this strange land Godhad let her find such kindness? She found work quickly, among other places with Hans Christ in the neighborhood of Lancaster; was industrious, and saved her wages as that she could repay the kind manin Philadelphia for what he had spent for her. Here, near Lancaster, on Aug. 10, 1752, she married Johannes Strub, now a widower. In the following year, 1753, she and her husband, with our brother Heinrich Sehor and the family of the old brother and Sister Heinrich Speenhauer, went to New River, where, a few days after their arrival she bore her first child, who later married John Holland, of Salem, N.C. Because of the outbreak of Indian war, two years later,1755, they were forced to flee to the Town Fork. From there, in thenext year, they moved to the Yadkin, in the neighborhood of the present Richmond Court-House, where they rented apiece of land. At that time several families of Dunkards lived in their neighborhood;she joined their group, and finally was re-baptized by a preacher of that faith, and so was formally united with them. In this way she sought to promote her salvation, but in the event found that outward form did not serve. In the year 1757 she was again forced to hurried flight because of the Indians, and this only three days after her son Samuel was born. For safety they went to the mill near Bethabara. From here theyboth attended several services in Bethabara, and through them andespecially through the preaching of the new departed brother Spangenberg they heard the gospel of the atonement of Jesus, the Redeemerfrom our sins, and that only through faith on Him man can be saved. This was proclaimed so impressively that she felt the power of God in her heart, and was convinced that she could not find salvationin the ways she had hitherto tried. She therefore withdrew from the group she had joined, and wished to be more closely associated with the Unity of Brethren. In 1758, when the Indian alarms subeided in this neighborhood, they took up land about a mile and a half from Bethania, and settled there, but from time to time they had to flee in haste to the Bethabara mill, as small parties of Indians came near them and began to murder. In the fall of 1759, when this town of Bethania was begun, the made known their desire and longing to belong to the Unity of Brethren, and declared their wish to live for the Saviour in the Unity, andin it to seek their salvation through His grace; and they begged to be allowed to settle in this new town, To their great joy their wish was granted, and on Feb. 19, 1760, they moved into their newlybuilt little house. On Oct. 19, 1760, they were both received into the congregation; and an Oct. 20, 1762, she shared with the congregation in the Lord's Supper. They lived in town until the year 1779, then moved to their own plantation and handed over their town lot to their son Samuel, but they continued to belong to the congregation as members living outside the town. On July 30, 1789, her husband passed peacefully out of time. With him she had led a happy married life, which God had blessed with nine children, of whom two sons and three daughters are still living,by whom she had had 42 grandchildren and 10 great-grand-children. The later years of her life she spent here in town with her children, often visiting her other children and grandchildren in their homes so long as her strength permitted, and she showed herself toward them as a true mother, concerned for their welfare. In the last year of her life these visits had to be given up, as her sight failed until she could hardly see at all. Under these circumstances shelonged for her end and that it might come quickly. On the morning of the 14th of this month (November) she suddenly became very ill, and it was soon apparent that the illness meant the end. On the morning of the 20th it was evident that her last moment was approaching; and an hour later her released spirit went to see the face of Him Who had showed her so such mercy here below. Her age was 81 years, 8 months, and 1 day. Contributed by findagrave member Cindy Chitty Creel.

Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? |
