"OBITUARY OF CHARLOTTE EISEN (EY SE) RICHTER: Translation From Germanby Margaret Wilde; December 5, 1764. In the 10th hour our SisterCharlotte Richter bore a son and went immediately with her child toher eternal home. The text of the day was from 2 Corinthians 5:1."For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, wehave a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in theheavens." KJV, copyright 1982 Our sister Charlotte Richter was bornin Stet tin 6 August, 1723. Of her life she left no written record,so only the following can be mentioned. When Bro. and Sr. Grossmannstopped in Stet tin, Prussia, she was awakened by the teaching of theBrethren and brought to a knowledge of the way of salvation. When herfather noticed that she sought acquaintance with the Brethren, heexpressed displeasure. But when she repeatedly said that there was noother way to salvation except through Jesus and that this was thefoundation teaching of the Brethren, it made such an impression on himthat his tears flowed and he never again put anything in her way andgave her freedom in this matter. She had special conversations withMrs. Grossman and often said openly that she wished to belong to thecongregation and had a strong desire to do so. This desire shefollowed and in 1743 with another single woman came to Herrnhut whereshe worked some years in the laundry and part time serving familiesand was able to take care of herself. Since there was delay of herreception into the congregation, she was disturbed and went out aloneinto the woods to pray and tell the Savior of her situation. Unknownby her, she was heard by Count Zinzendorf who then inquired as to hername. Soon after, to her great joy she was received into thecongregation in 1745. Early in 1747 she partook of the Holy Communionand in August of 1748 had a call to Pennsylvania. On the 21st of thatmonth along with others she traveled over Herrnhaag, Zeist, Holland,and London. Much blessing came to her heart through the messages ofthe Count. In 1749 on 20 February she went with the John NitschmannColony from London to Pennsylvania, arriving in Bethlehem on 19 May.On 15 July she was married to John Christian Richter. The Lord blestthe marriage with five children of whom one died earlier and went withher to her heavenly home. As to her character, she thought little ofherself, was very open-hearted to her co-workers and walked with theLord. Often in these last years she was seen coming from the churchwith tear-filled eyes. She was a member of the Prayer Guild. In herlast pregnancy she seemed to have a feeling, expressed to her husbandand co-workers that this would be the time of her death. Early todayher little son was brought from the Nursery and she had bid himgood-bye. When the mid-wife came to her, her first words to her were:"When I have 'gone home you be the one to dress me." She spent theday in labor, but not so hard that one thought her end near. Oft sheprayed for her husband who brought her a greeting from the nursery.She hugged him tenderly and said, "My dear husband, do you gladly letme go to the Savior?" In the evening after nine o'clock the Lord gaveher a son. She looked at him joyfully and almost immediately she andher little one went to their eternal rest. She was 41 years and 5months old."
