Baptismal Certificate of William Warwood, Allentown, Pennsylvania, April 28, 1869

Printed baptismal certificate filled in and signed by Martin Wetzler, a Jewish scrivener, for William Warwood on April 28, 1869 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The certificate, printed by Leifenring in Allentown, is notable for Wetzler's rarity as a Jewish scrivener in the Lehigh Valley at that time. Wetzler, known as the "Jewish Dindamann" (penman), wrote in Hebrew, German, and English and sometimes included a Star of David on these Christian certificates.
