Description
-
Biographical memoir of Brother James Cromark, an active member of the Moravian congregation in Pudsey, England. Raised from infancy in the Moravian chapel after his father joined the Brethren, Cromark was apprenticed to a local clothier named Mirfield around age 12 or 13. The text records his marriage, his joint entry into the Moravian Society and Holy Communion alongside his wife in 1798, and their deep spiritual awakening under the ministry of Brother John Hartley. It describes his quiet, retiring character and his multi-month decline involving jaundice and dropsical leg swelling. The record concludes with his final pastoral counseling and peaceful death at age 77, noting his extensive lineage of ten children and twenty-five grandchildren.
