Description
A fraktur inspired by Shenandoah Valley fraktur artist Peter Bernhart- by far the most prolific
artist of the German birth and baptismal certificates in
Rockingham County.In June 1789, the Virginia Gazette and Winchester Advertiser newspaper noted that Bernhart was now an agent
for Winchesters German-language newspaper Virginische
Zeitung in the Kieseltown area of Rockingham County.
In August 1789, Bernhart announced in the Gazette thatthe first of August he commenced the business of riding as Post from Winchester to Staunton every other week
carrying mail and the English and German newspapers from Winchester.
Bernhart rode from his home near Keezletown to Winchester every other Wednesday to begin his route. He arrived in Rockingham County by Friday and finished the
route in Staunton on Saturday. Bernhart functioned as post
rider over this course for nearly thirty years, from 1789 to
1817.
I have used an old German love proverb for the script.
