Historia
Jacob Hartzler (1833-1915) was licensed to preach with the Evangelical Association, Central Pennsylvania Conference, in 1856. He served several pastoral assignments before his assignment as editor of the Evangelical Messenger in 1870. In 1880 he moved to Japan where he learned Japanese and was assigned to the Bible Translating Committee. In 1886 he was elected president of the Japanese branch of the Evangelical Alliance, and in 1887 he served as pastor of the Union Church in Tokyo. In the split of the Evangelical Association Hartzler moved with the United Evangelical Church and became an elder in 1894. Hartzler was superannuated in 1911 and died at York, Pennsylvania, 1915.
