15/1 Fraktur #1, 1791, Anna Lehman, 1791–1859, 16” x
12 ½”, in fairly good condition
A German poem, written in Gothic script is included
on this fractur, which appears in the top five hearts of the
fraktur. This poem has five quatrains of rhyming in a regular
8.8.7.7. meter. Here is a rough (unrhymed/unmetrical) translation of
the poem.
I want to honor my promise
not to break this covenant with God
No, upon my holy baptism
I will ground my life’s path.
I want to honor my promise
not to break this covenant with God
No, upon my holy baptism
I will ground my life's path.
Lord Jesus, I, your poor child,
full of faults and full of sin,
lay myself at your feet
and let the tears flow.
Ach, I regret the misdeed
that enraged you O Lord.
Lord Jesus, let yourself be found
Forgive me my sins.
I lie before you and ask you
my beloved God, ach, let me
act according to my promise
to walk in your way Lord Jesus
Oh, God who art bound three in one,
let neither life nor death
separate me from you Lord.
Accept me into your joy.
[Written in the lower three hearts of the fraktur
are the following words, again written in the German language and in
Gothic script]

________________________________________________________________________
Anna Lehman, b. Lancaster Co., Pa., 24 April
1791 d. Franklin Co., Pa., 22 April 1859.
Daughter of Johannes Lehman (1763-1833) and Maria
_____ (1759-1841) who moved to Franklin Co. in 1796.
Anna never married. Johannes Stauffer is
probably Bishop Johannes Stauffer (1746-1836) of Washington Co., Md.
The Fraktur artist appears to have been Joseph
Lochbaum (1776-1856), known as the Nine Hearts Artist or Cumberland
Valley artist. Lochbaum, at one time schoolmaster at
Solomon's Church school in Franklin
Co., is not known to have been Mennonite. Several other artists
may have imitated his work and his style appears in various later
Fraktur pieces done in Ontario. He used the same text on many
Fraktur.

15/2 Fraktur #2, 1797, Barbara Lehman,
1797–1877. 15 ¼” x 13”, in fairly poor condition
A German poem, written in Gothic script is included
on this fractur, which appears in the top five hearts of the
fraktur. This poem has five quatrains of rhyming in a regular
8.8.7.7. meter. Here is a rough (unrhymed/unmetrical) translation of
the poem.
I want to honor my promise
not to break this covenant with God
No, upon my holy baptism
I will ground my life’s path.

15/2 Fraktur #2, 1797, Barbara Lehman (Continued)
I want to honor my promise
not to break this covenant with God
No, upon my holy baptism
I will ground my life's path.
Lord Jesus, I, your poor child,
full of faults and full of sin,
lay myself at your feet
and let the tears flow.
Ach, I regret the misdeed
that enraged you O Lord.
Lord Jesus, let yourself be found
Forgive me my sins.
I lie before you and ask you
my beloved God, ach, let me
act according to my promise
to walk in your way Lord Jesus
Oh, God who art bound three in one,
let neither life nor death
separate me from you Lord.
Accept me into your joy.
[Written in the lower three hearts of the fraktur
are the following words, again written in the German language and in
Gothic script]
Barbara Lehman
was born in the year
1797 on May 16th,
in the sign [of]
Aquarias
[In crude Latin:]
O Man, you are dust,
to dust you will return.
To God Alone be Glory.

15/2 Fraktur #2, 1797, Barbara Lehman (Continued)
Note on the reference to “Aquarias” on the fraktur:
Our daily newspapers show horoscopes in monthly divisions based on the
sun’s position in the sky. In this case “Acquarias” refers to the
lunar position in the sky at Barbara'’ birth. Agricultural
almanacs showed the zodical position of the moon for each day of the
year. Rural people relied heavily on these lunar signs for a
variety of purposes such as figuring out when to plant crops, a
practice not devoid of scientific merit. Folk wisdom of the time
believed that the lunar position at birth gave insight into an
individual’s personality traits. Well into the 19th century, birth
records in family Bibles routinely indicate the lunar sign along with
the birth date, in some cases even in lieu of the birth date.
