Colonel CHristian Jacob Hutter and Descendants. The Easton Sentinel. The Easton Centinel, the ninth newspaper founded at Easton and the oldest English journal with practically a continuous existence to this day, was first issued July i, 1817, and is therefore over 86 years of a^^e. It was founded by Christian Jacob Hutter, and was for many years issued as the English edition of the NortJianipfon Correspondent (also founded and edited by Mr. Hutter), and consequently promulgated the principles of Jeffersonian Democracy. Its motto was: "Faithful, active, vigilant and steady," and its declaration : "Here shall the press the people's rights proclaim, Unawed by influence and unbribed by gain." Mr. Hutter, on October 19, 1821, transferred the publica- tion of the Centinel to his twin sons, Henry August and Frederick William, because of financial embarrassments brought about by the failure of his patrons to meet their obligations. The Centinel was published under the firm name of Henry & William Hutter until August 23, 1833, though the former died March i, 1824, closely followed by the death of his brother on December 21, 1824. The death of these promising young men was a severe blow to the parents, to whom they were the main hope of their declining years ; friends lost in them esteemed companions, and the community two honored citizens. On August 23. 1833. Frederick William Muller, son-in- law of the elder Hutter. became the publisher of the Centinel. Beginning with the second half year of his editorial connec- tion therewith (February 21, 1834), a new heading was adopted and a change made in the orthography of the title. Ever since its establishment it had been spelled Centiiiel, the then prevailing method : custom, however, had altered it to Sentinel, which was then adopted. In the Spring of 1839, Abraham Henry Senseman pur- chased the Senti7iel from Mr. Hutter, who for several years 4 COLONEL CHRISTIAN JACOB HUTTER previous had conducted it. Mr. Senseman was a native of the neighboring village of Nazareth and had established there in the summer of 1837, in partnership with Edmund Leisenring (afterwards editor of the Allentown Fmedeii's Bo/hc) the Abeyid Zeihmg (Evening Gazette), which was published about a year and a half — the six months alone by- Mr. Senseman, a gentleman of strong character and intelli- gence. In June, 1841, Mr. Senseman sold the Sentmel\.o James M. Porter, Esq., who engaged Thomas Forsman, who had been a foreman printer on the Setitmel, to edit it. It subsequently passed into the hands of a Mr. Allen, then suspended publication for about six months, when, about 1844. it passed into the hands of James A. Dunlap. On December 19, 1851, Daniel H. Neiman became the owner, and for more than thirty-one years issued it regu- larly, contributing something to it each week, no matter whether at home or at distant points on other business. In the last week of April, 1883, J. P. Correll, now well known in journalistic circles in connection with several of the lead- ing newspapers of the city of Easton, became the owner and editor of the: Se?itinel znd continues as such. Christian Jacob Hutter, Founder. Christian Jacob Hutter, the founder of this newspaper, as well as of three other local journals and a book publishing house, was born on May 17. 1771, at New Deitendorf, in Saxe Gotha, Germany. His father, Johann Ludwig Hutter, born May 5, 1726, at F"rishborn on the Vogelsberg, was a manufacturer of leather, and managed a large tannery for the Moravian brethren. He was married in 1767 to Anna Maria Kuntz, born March 5, 1729. In 1773 he located at Zeist. in the Province of Utrecht in the United Netherlands, with his wife and two sons, the youngest of whom was Christian Jacob. Here he also met with success in his business, and was considered a man of fortune. He died on March 23, 1791, and his wife on September 30, 1805. The elder son, Johann Ludwig, (born January 24, 1769, died September 4, 1820). continued the business of his father. The youngest son. Christian Jacob Hutter, was, on Octo- ber 20, 1789, sent by the Moravians of Zeist to their Ameri- can settlement at Pjethlehem, Pa., where he engaged in business and where, on August 4, 1791, he married his first wife, Maria Magdalene Huber. AND DESCENDANTS. In 1799 we find Mr. Huttcr at Lancaster, wlicre he founded Dcr Lancaster Correspondcut, the first number of which was issued May 25, 1799, and the last on September 3, 1803, whereupon he removed to Easton and founded there, early in t8o6, Der Northamplon Corrts^pondrnty to which journal he transferred the motto of iiis Lancaster venture — "'Frey, Standhaft and Gemaszi<:^t." On Aui^ust 10, 1808, he established the Pennsylvania Herald and Easton IntelUs^encer^ wdiich lived two years, and was followed by The People's Instructor, also probably short-lived. The Centinel was his fourth journalistic ven- ture. Init after his financial reverses in 1821, he gave little personal attention to journalism, his sons and sons-in-law having succeeded him. Mr. Hutter, in addition to his newspaper interests, was engaged in a variety of mercantile pursuits, but chiefly as an apothecary. He also took an active interest in military and political matters. He was actively engaged in the War of 1812 as a Lieutenant-Colonel in command of the North- ampton. Lehigh and Pike Counties' Militia. From 1822 to 1825 he was a member of the State House of Representa- tives, and in 1829 was County Recorder of Deeds. He was one of the founders and the first Worshipful Master of Easton Lodge of Masons. '&" Colonel Christian J. Hutter's Descendants.
