INDEX

[1272]

Richard came to Scituate, Mass. via the Barbados in 1630 and soon moved to Lynn, MA. In 1637 he was one of about 50 persons who left Lynn to settle Sandwich. He was one of the first two Deputies to the General Court [i.e. local legislature], 1639, and served for 14 years. He was a member of the Council of War, 1675. He was one of three appointed to purchase land from the Native Americans for Yarmouth. He had brought a lot of cash with him from England. At his own expense he purchased 16 square miles for a permanent abode for the Mashpee Indians - this tract has been an Indian reservation since then. He learned their language, and was a missionary among them. He was ordained a pastor by John Cotton, Jr. and John Eliot in 1647, probably the first Englishman ordained to serve a Native American congregation in colonial America. He translated the Lord's Prayer into the Native American language - copies are available at the Aptucxet Trading Post near Bourne. In 1919 Native Americans were still living on the land given them by Richard. His work was so successful that one of the Native Americans (Simon Popmonet, first Native American ordained in New England) succeeded him as pastor; Richard's great-grandson, Joseph Bourne, was next pastor in 1725. "He [Richard] controlled them by his just and Christian behavior and did more by the moral he exerted than Bradford at the head of his army." He was one of the most useful and prominent citizens of Sandwich. He is buried on his own land near his house. {- Hannah S. B. Dykes, comp., "History of Richard Bourne and Some of his Descendants" (Cleveland, OH: Benjamin F. Bourne, 1919); Frederick L. Weis, "Colonial Clergy of New England," 1936, p.36; Lydia B. (Phinney) Brownson and Maclean W. McLean, "The Rev. Richard Bourne of Sandwich, Mass.", The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 118-119 [1964-1965].} Richard died intestate before 18 September 1682. For his work with the Native Americans, see The Mayflower Quarterly, 67:3, pp. 276-278. Russell Bourne (a descendant and summer resident of Castine, Maine), "Gods of War, Gods of Peace" (N.Y.: Harcourt, 2002), pp. 145-147, records that Richard Bourne was a lawyer and compares his missionary work to that of Eliot and Thomas Mayhew, Jr. Also see See also "Plymouth Colony: Its History and People, 1620-1691)," Eugene Aubrey Stratton (Ancestry Publishing, Provo, UT, 1986), pp. 248-49; "Saints and Strangers," George F. WIllison (New York: Reynal & Hitchcock, 1945), p 389. http://www.aritek.com/hartgen/htm/bourne.htm reports: "Rev. Richard Bourne - was born in 1610 in Barnstable, Co. Dev., England and died on 18 Sep 1682 in Sandwich, Mass. He was the son of William Bourne and Ursula Day. Rev. Richard married Bathsheba Hallett in 1637 in New England. Bathsheba was born in England. She was the daughter of Andrew Hallett and Beatrix Knote. She died in 1670 in Sandwich, Mass. Then Rev. Richard married Ruth Sargent on 2 Jul 1677 in Sandwich, Mass. She died on 4 Oct 1713 in Sandwich, Mass. Ruth - first husband was Jonathan Winslow, Richard was second, married Elder John Chipman of Sandwich after Richard died. Rev. Richard - buried near his home on left side of Dock Lane. Came to Plymouth Mass about 1635. His ancestry traces back to Sir John Bourne, Secy of State to Queen Mary (1553-1558). This is known because of the "chervon party per pale" in the Bourne Coat of Arms. Richard, aged 24, left England, coming by way of St. Kitts & Barbados, arriving in America Jan 1, 1634/5. He stayed with his brother Henry in Scituate Mass. Richard was one of the earliest settlers of Shawmee, Mass, later incorporated in 1637 as Sandwich, Mass. (Part of Sandwich became Bourne, Mass. in 1884) Richard Bourne had many interests but his work with the Indians is probably the most outstanding. The continued peace with the Indians was due more to his efforts than to the military forces. He learned the Indian language and began his work about 1658."

He was ordained pastor of the Indian Church at Mashpee in 1670. Richard purchased at his own expense 16 square miles as a permanent home for the Mashpee Indians. He translated the Lords Prayer into the Indian language - copies are available at the Aptucxet Trading Post near Bourne. In 1919 Indians were still living on the land given them by Richard.

Arthur's obituary:

The Rev. Dr. Arthur L. Ruths (98) departed this life on March 2, 2021 and entered the unlimited presence of God. A resident of Homewood Retirement Village since August 2004, he was born August 22, 1922 in Mt. Carmel, PA, the son of the late John and Carrie (Raybuck) Ruths.
Besides his parents, his brother Walter and his sister Betty, Pastor Ruths was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 65 years, Juanita, who died April 17, 2013.
Dr. Ruths graduated from Roosevelt High School, Kulpmont, PA, in 1941, Gettysburg College in 1945, and the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg in 1947. During his senior year at college, he served as President of the Student Senate, and was active in several organizations. Likewise, during his senior year at the seminary he was president of the student body and Co-chair of the Student-Faculty Relations Committee. While in seminary, he served as President of the North Atlantic Region and national vice-president of the Lutheran Student Association of America.
Upon graduation from the seminary May 16, 1947, he was ordained two days later into the Gospel Ministry by the Pittsburgh Synod of the then United Lutheran Church in America at Luther Memorial Church, Erie, PA.
On November 1, 1947 Arthur married his fiancée, Juanita I. Waters of Roselle, NJ, in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Elizabeth, NJ, Nita’s home church. The union has been proudly blessed with and survived by four sons: Joel (Deborah), Hanover; Mark, Houston, TX; Paul (Ginny), Woodland Park, CO; and David (Colleen), Northumberland, PA.
Pastor Ruths is survived by ten grandchildren: Mrs. Janel (Ruths) Yost, Shepherdstown, WV; Dr. Derek Ruths, Montreal, Canada; Dr. Justin Ruths, Richardson, TX; Dr. Troy Ruths, Houston, TX; Captain Weston Ruths, Houston, TX; Natalie Ruths, Colorado Springs, CO, Logan Ruths, Woodland Park, CO; Jonathan Ruths, Springfield, PA, Abigail Ruths, Atlanta, GA, and Garrett Ruths, Lexington Park, MD. In addition, there are seven great-grandchildren.
Following three years (1947-1950) as Associate Pastor of Luther Memorial Church, Erie, he was called as pastor of First Lutheran Church, Ridgway, PA, (1950-1953). While there, he served as Dean of the Northeast Conference and as a member of the Executive Board of the Pittsburgh Synod.
In 1953 he was called by the National Lutheran Council to serve as the Lutheran Campus Pastor at Penn State University, State College (1953-1959). In addition to his pastoral ministry, he served as chairman of the University Inter-religious Council, Board Member of University Christian Association, and member of the Executive Committee of the national Lutheran campus staff.
From 1959 to 1967, Pastor Ruths served as Personnel Secretary of the Board of World Missions of the Lutheran Church in America, with responsibility for recruitment, screening and placement of missionaries around the world. To keep current on needs, he travelled extensively to South America, Africa, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan.
In addition, he was a member of the Missionary Personnel Committee of the National Council of Churches in America, and Chairman of its Committee on Laymen Overseas.
On April 1, 1967, Dr. Ruths began a twenty-year ministry as Senior Pastor of St. Matthew Lutheran Church, Hanover. During his ministry, a five-year building/renovation program was accomplished, mission and benevolent outreach were substantially increased, the Bethel Bible Study led by trained lay teachers involved several hundred members, and a full-time staff music program was developed.
Besides being Dean of the Hanover District early in this ministry, he also served on the Board of Directors of the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg, and as a member of the synod’s Committee on World Hunger.
Other leadership involvements include: member and vice president of Board of Directors, Lutheran Social Services of South Central PA; Chairman of LSS Resource Development Committee; member and Chairman of synod’s Committee on Mediation; one of 15 commissioners charged with reorganizing the Lutheran Church in America (1971-1973); member of the Board of Directors, Hanover Chapter of the American Red Cross; member and President of the Board of Directors of the Greater Hanover Housing Corp. on which he served 1967-2007; assisted United Way several years in its local campaign; member of Citizens for Decency Through Law, an attempt to curtail the spread of pornography and sexual obscenity.
In June 1970 Gettysburg College, in recognition of Pastor Ruths’ varied, effective and world-wide ministry, bestowed on him the degree Doctor of Divinity. The Alumni Association of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg honored him in April 2007 as a Distinguished Alumnus.
Dr. Ruths retired from the active parish ministry on February 1, 1987. In retirement he was given the title of Pastor Emeritus at St. Matthew Lutheran Church and remained active in service in several congregations and for eighteen years chaired the Steering Committee of Lutheran Social Services, culminating in the Lutheran Retirement Village at Utz Terrace, Hanover.
A public Service of Celebration and Christian Burial will be conducted at St. Matthew Lutheran Church, Hanover, PA at some point in the future and is expected to be presided over by Rev. Kathy Vitalis Hoffman, Rev. David Kiel, and Rev. Eric Wogen. Final resting place will be at Rest Haven Cemetery.
