http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/PACENTRE/2011-04 contains this:
Regarding The Rev. Mr. Martin Albert Smith as per Justin Houser's comments, which I repeat below in their entirety for the convenience of anyone who wants to understand the context of my response:
b. 22 Nov 1922 near New Bloomfield [now] Perry Co. PA -- d. 13 March 1891, Nazareth PA; bur. Reformed Church cemetery, Nazareth, also known as "St. John's Union Cemetery." He was the youngest son of Benjamin Smith of Perry County and Elizabeth Albert (b. 17 July 1795, Adams Co PA) Married 21 March 1854 to Mary Jane Meyer (1 Nov 1835, Boalsburg area - 3 Dec 1877, Nazareth PA, dau of George Meyer (1 March 1806, Campbelltown, Lebanon Co PA - 15 Feb 1889, Boalsburg] and Anna (Fox, orig. "Fuchs") Meyer (24 Feb 1806 -- 21 March 1874, Boalsburg).
This Mary Jane Meyer's parents moved to from Lebanon county to Centre Co well after other Meyer relatives had moved to Centre Co, including:
1. various descendants of Jacob Meyer, who moved from Lebanon County to the "Bridle Path Inn" NW of (now) Freeburg, (now) Snyder County PA. NONE of Jacob's descendants remained in the area where Jacob settled, most of them coming to Centre Co. Author Henry Meyer (_Genealogy of the Meyer Family_, 1890) descends from this family line.
2. three sons of Christopher Meyer, brother of the above Jacob Meyer: Henry to Boalsburg (buried very close to the Lutheran church there); George to Aaronsburg; and Jacob to Mühlheim (Millheim). Thus, when George and and Anna (Fox) Meyer moved to the farm between Boalsburg and the site of present-day State College, they were going where lots of relatives already lived.
This George and Anna (Fox) Meyer had seven children, the above Mary (Meyer) Smith the third, and the last of them William Calvin Meyer (1847 - 1927), whose first child Mary Elizabeth Meyer (4 Jan 1874 - 14 March 1927) married Harry Shawley, from whom came the folks who used to operate the Eutaw House at Potters Mills. This George and Anna (Fox Meyer) also had three sons, of whom Joseph Curtis Meyer (20 March 1880 - 19 Oct 1966) was a dairy farmer and operated Joe Meyer's Dairy on East Atherton Street, State College, will in business. Wiliam and Anna's last son Marion Meyer (3 June 1883 - 29 Aug 1968) owned and operated the Autoport and for some years was also State College's Cadillac motor car dealer.
My materials on Mar Jane (Meyer) Smith and husband The Rev. Martin Albert Smith are not in good order, I'm ashamed to report, but I can share at least these facts:
A. He was first licensed as a supply in Ma 1849 by the Zion Classis of the German Reformed Church at Sulphur Springs (near Carlisle) and supplied the Nittany Valley charge that summer, where he met his wife.
B. He was ordained i 1850 by the Westmorland Classis at Salem Church in (I think) Clarion PA
C. He served the Aaronsburg Charge, March 1852 - December 1856; then Hummelstown, Dauphin Co PA, Charge, Dec 1856 - Dec. 1866 (That would have included at least Hummelstown and Union Deposit in those days); then he served the Dryland Charge in and around Nazareth, consisting of Dryland Church at Hecktown, Christ or "Union" Church at Bath, and St. John's at Nazareth, 1866 - 1890. He preached quite a bit _auf Deutsch_.
Some hunches about him:
1. He attended Marshall College at Mercersburg, whose merger with Franklin College occurred only in 1853 to form Franklin & Marshall College, after he was already ordained. The denomination's theological seminary was also at Mercersburg before moving to Lancaster in 1871. THEREFORE, one might find record of him in the alumni offices of Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster, or Lancaster Theological Seminary, successor schools to where he MIGHT have taken his education and training.
2. Apart from those, I would guess one would find materials from him, perhaps even the longed-for record of ministerial acts, either at
a. The Library of the Historical Society of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, successor body to the German Reformed Church (later Reformed Church in the US), housed in the Schaff Library of Lancaster Theological Seminary. Call (717) 393-0654, Mondays - Wednesdays 8:30 to 4. This is a quite fine repository.
b. Perhaps in the museum and library of Northhampton County (PA) Historidal Society; see http://sigalmuseum.org.
c. Perhaps in the archives of either St. John's or Dryland United Church of Christ, Nazareth PA Go to drylanducc@juno.com
SMITH HAD NINE CHILDREN, of whom I know rather little -- and nothing of the next generation of after these children:
1. & 2. died young in 1860 of diphtheria Burial place? Likely Hummelstown.
3. Bertha Ann (2 March 1860, Hummelstown - 1948
4. Calvin Meyer Smith (18 Jan 1863, Hummelstown - 22 Dec 1935; editor of the _Pen Argyl Index_.
5. George Anselm Smith (11 March 1865, Nazareth - 17 March 1923; bur Bath PA cemetery), a druggist in Slatington PA.
6. Charles Martin Smith (1 April 1867, Hummelstown - 14 March 1923 -- a student at Lancaster Theological Seminary at the time of his father's death; an alumnus and later a pastor?
7. Mary Elizabeth (4 Se[t 1869 - Nazareth - death info not known to me. My information is not clear to me, though I have a note that she married one John f. Unangst on 1 April 1893 in Nazareth and lived there. I *think* his dates are 8 Febraur 1858 - 30 March 1940, and buried at St. John's "Union" Cemetery in Nazareth. I have a sketchy note that he married Mary Elizabeth in 1893 when 35 years old. A second marriage?
8. Ellen Blanche (b. 29 Sept 1871, Nazareth) no other information
9. Charlotte "Lottie Jane (15 Nov 1873, Nazareth - 16 Feb 1879) One might presume she is buried next to her parents at Nazareth.
Perhaps a decade or two ago, I met a woman in Boalsburg either descended from The Rev. Smith or somehow knowledgeable about him and his family. I *think* she was a member at St. John's Reformed Church, Boalsburg (now St. John's United Church of Christ). I am embarrassed not to be able to make a clearer referral to her and have no idea if she still lives.
I would be please if one or another of the above information leads to the discovery of The Rev. Mr. Smith's list of ministerial acts.
One very slight improvement to Justin's comments: the particular family from whom Mary Jane (Mrs. Martin Albert Smith) came was NOT of the Brush Valley but rather from the Boalsburg area. Her parents lie buried in Boalsburg Cemetery. Her father George was a son of Michael Meyer(Moyer), my great-great-grandfather. Michael and wife Elizabeth (Derstein) Moyer -- they had taken the name Moyer in Lebanon County, as did nearly all of the family there -- moved to Brush Valley in retirement, and Michael died there in 1842 and was buried in the Lutheran and Reformed cemetery there under the name Moyer. His widow survived him by 30 years, moved in with son George & his wife Anna (Fox) Meyer and upon her death was buried in their plot at Boalsburg under the spelling _Meyer_!! Apparently Michael too the _Moyer_ spelling after George had married Anna Fox of Hummelstown and moved to Centre County. Some day I must try to find evidence of this name-change confusion at Centre Co courthouse or library.
Alles gute. Gute Nacht. Mit besten Grüßen, Karl E. Moyer, Lancaster PA

From: Justin Houser
Many of you may be aware that one of the best sources we have for Penns Valley Reformed Church information is the private register of the Rev. Peter S. Fischer (served 1832-1857), legendary Reformed pastor who served from Pine Grove Mills to Rebersburg, and points in between, at various stages of his ministry. The register includes his marriages from 1832 to 1853 (spotty near the end) and his burials of all individuals over 10 years of age from 1832 to 1853. Apart from any existing parish records, this is a tremendous resource. A copy/extract is in the library in Bellefonte.
In one of the Civil War Widows' Pension files I just noted, that of my relative Susan (Breon) Cain Coldren, who was the widow of Jacob G. Cain, of the 148th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, who was killed at Chancellorsville on May 3, 1863, is a very interesting note. To prove her marriage to Jacob Cain, she submitted an affidavit from the Rev. M. A. Smith, who stated that he was the German Reformed pastor in the Gregg Township vicinity in 1853, (probably succeeding Rev. Fischer), "having charge of several congregations there," and that he married Jacob G. Cain and Susan Breon on December 22, 1853. Notably, he states "that no record of marriages was kept in the church or congregation, that it is his practice to give certificates of marriage to parties whom he married, but whether he did so in this instance he cannot say, that no record of any kind was made except that which was made in his own private Pastoral Record, which is now in his possession." He copied verbatim from his register, so that we can see how entries were listed there, "Names of Married, Jacob G. Cain & Susan Breon, Time of Marriage, Decr. 22, 1853, Remarks Gregg (Township)."
At the time of the affidavit, October 3, 1864, Rev. Smith was living and ministering in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. One wonders where the pastoral register of Rev. M. A. Smith is located today. Perhaps in a Reformed Church archive, perhaps among family descendants, perhaps in Dauphin County or some other place where he ministered, or perhaps lost to the ages. If located, this book would undoubtedly contain many more marriage records from Penns Valley for a few years from the mid-19th century.
Rev. M. A. Smith was pastor of the Aaronsburg Charge of the German Reformed Church, consisting of St. Peter's Reformed, Aaronsburg; Penns Creek (now Salem Reformed), Penn Hall; St. John's Reformed, Farmers Mills; and St. Paul's Reformed, formerly near Fiedler, as early as 1852 through 1856. I'm not sure, but it is likely that the Holy Cross Reformed Church, originally joined with Holy Cross Lutheran Church, and which survived only a few years, was also part of this effort. In December, 1856, Rev. Smith became pastor of the St. Thomas Reformed Church in Linglestown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and served there until 1866. In 1869 he was apparently pastor of the Memorial Reformed Church in Hecktown, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. He officiated at a funeral in Bath, Northampton County, in 1877. He was married to Mary Jane Moyer/Meyer, of the Brush Valley Meyers. Karl Moyer, I know that you have done considerable research on this family. Do you have any information on when and where Rev. Smith died, which might provide a clue to the fate of his register?
