"Died Feb. 7, 1774. Martin Weibrecht was born December 24, 1715 in Auspachishen. He entered a second time into holy matrimony with the widow Elizabeth Geyer, born Miller, with whom he had 7 children. From his 12th year, according to his own confession, he experienced in his heart the work of the Holy Spirit. In B. Neybergs time he was awakened, and then became acqainted with the Brethren. Was received into the Brethren's Congregation on Feb 11, 1752 and in 1755 became a Communicant. After several years he lost much of his spiritual heart experience, but remained a friend to the Brethren, and the doctrine of Jesus merits continued in his mind to be respectable. In his last sicknefs he had B Krogstrup to come to him, and is led him back to the grace he once had experienced, and at the same time showed him the reason and cause of his spiritual decline, and also showed him how he could attain unto that grace, his heart broke that we wept bitterly. When he was again visited and asked whether Jesus and his blood be the only ground upon which his heart rested? he answered, 'where else should I turn. I know no other way of salvation.' The last words he could still utter were; 'the five holy wounds of my Saviour are the foundation of the rvek of my salvation.' "
