Artist Injured Installing Memorial Windows in Baltimore Church
G N Gettier, a former Baltimore and Washington artist now at Massanutten Lodge near Mount Royal, was injured while supervising the installation of memorial windows for the Bauren midt family at Zion German Lutheran Church in Baltimore. A rope slipped and a frame fell, sending Gettier to Mercy Hospital, where officials reported his condition not critical. The windows were a gift from the children of the late August and Helene Struven and Frau Bauernschmidt, with a pulpit desk also installed. The desk features a woodcarving of angels rejoicing over Luther’s Bible, a reproduction modeled after the original Wartburg Castle carving by Hans Eckstein, who came to Baltimore in 1930. Dedication will occur later due to recent deaths in the families.
