Bernard Crouse Wolff

WOLFF, Bernard Crouse, clergyman, born in Martinsburg, Virginia, 11 December, 1794; died in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 1 November, 1870. He received a classical education at the Chambersburg high-school, studied theology at the seminary of the German Reformed church at York, Pennsylvania, after having carried on business as a mechanic in Martinsburg for thirteen years, and became the English pastor of the church at Easton, Pennsylvania, in 1833. In 1845 he left that place to become pastor of a Reformed church in Baltimore, Maryland, and in 1854 became professor of didactic and practical theology in the seminary at Mercersburg. After retiring from the chair in 1864 he removed to Lancaster, and was active and successful in obtaining contributions for Franklin and Marshall college. Rutgers gave him the degree of D. D. in 1843. He was for several years president of the German Reformed board of foreign missions, a member of the liturgical committee from 1849 till 1868, when the liturgy was completed, and a frequent contributor to the church publications, having begun his literary labors while a theological student by editing the " German Reformed Magazine." He translated for his classes Johann H. A. Ebrard's "Christliche Dogmatik," and was engaged in preparing the work for publication when he died.
