Death of Economy Society leader Henrici in Beaver County
The Philadelphia Times reports the death of Father Jacob Henrici, aged 61, head of the Economy Society at Economy, Pennsylvania. Born in Bavaria in 1804, he led the community as trustee since 1847 and saw the Harmony Society’s 186th anniversary observance the previous February. The piece traces the society’s origins with George Rapp, its wealth from coal oil and gas, and its struggle to realize original communistic aims including celibacy, with Henrici’s passing prompting questions about succession and the community’s future.
