| Abstract | From "About Gottlieb Scheuner": The youngest of seven, he was born on September 22, 1836 in the Gemeinde Engelthal, Hessen, Germany. His family, originally from Helvetien, joined the Inspirationist Community shortly before his birth. In 1843, they were among the first of the group to come to the United States. While in New York, they lived in Nieder Ebenezer where young Gottlieb received his schooling and spent his youth. He had already begun in his father's trade as wagon maker when Br. Christian Metz . . . [r]ecognizing young Gottlieb's intelligence, . . . guided him toward becoming a scribe, a teacher, an Elder, a historian and, ultimately, the principal Elder or President of the Amana Society. |
