    The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine, Volume XXX, page 89, reports that the Lancaster Journal for 19 March 1803 carried the following announcement:

    "Ran away last Sunday on the 13th of March a servant man John Krimmering about 25 years of age. He is a native of Holland but speaks English remarkable well. Also a German servant man named Christian Heisey about 21 years of age, speaks very broken English. Joseph Lefever David Ferree Strasburg Township"

    [Editorial Note - CAH III - It seems that indentured servants running away was a common occurrence based on the frequency of similar advertisements.]
