Although this book was published in 1913, the last paragraph of this sketch speaks of the aborted celebration of the 50th anniversary of Peter's appointment to the ministry and suggests that this biography was actually written in 1897.

                Peter Hellweg.

           Unser selig heimgeganger Vater Hellweg wurde geboren am 13. März 1817 zu Assel, Hannover, Deutschland.
           Er kam im Juli 1839 nach New York, ging das nächste Jahr nach New Orleans, und kam im Frühjahr 1841 nach Marietta, Ohio. Hier trat er in den Stand der heiligen Ehe mit Martha Danker, einer Tochter von Rev. Geo Danker. Da seine Gattin schon bekehrt war, so gingen sie am Weihnachtabend zur Kirche. Die Predigt von Bruder H. Köneke ergriff ihn heilsam, auf Einladung ging er an den Betaltar, und als man sang: "Wie der Nebel muß verschwinden" u. s. w., da ging in mitternächtlicher Stunde der Morgenstern auf in seinem Herzen.
           Im April 1843 kam das junge Ehepaar nach German Creek, Iowa. Durch ein Schreiben an Vater Danker kam das nächste Jahr ein Prediger Namens J. [or, I; in the text, the two letters are identical] Mann dorthin. Bruder Hellweg missionierte und lud seine Landsleute ein zum Gottesdienst in seinem Hause. Bald erhielt er Licenz zum Predigen und im Jahre 1847 wurde er durch Bruder L. S. Jacoby als Reiseprediger ausgesandt.
           Von obigem Datum bis zum Herst 1875 war er tätig als Reiseprediger. Um diese Zeit zog er auf eine Farm bei Charles City, wo er 15 Jahre wohnte. Die letzten Jahre verlebte er in Garner, Iowa, bei seinem Schwiegersohn, Adam Schneider, allwo er auch starb. Vater Hellweg ist ein tüchtiger Bußprediger gewesen, der viele Seelen zum Herrn geführt. Liebe zum Werk der Seelenrettung und treu zu sein mit dem, und in dem, das ihm anvertraut war, sind seine Haupt-Charakterzüge gewesen. Die Kirche seiner Wahl war ihm sehr teuer, und der "Apologete" unentbehrlich. Wenn er ihn las, war es eine Erquickung für ihn. Die wichtigsten Artikel bezeichnete er, und die lieben Seinen lasen dann diese Stücke zuerst. Da Bruder Hellweg in den letzten Jahren fast gar nicht hören konnte, und demgemäß die Gottesdienste wenig besuchte, so erhielt er sich doch ein warmes Herz durch Betrachtung der Bibel, sowie durch Lesen des Predigtbuches und unserer Zeitschriften, als auch durch betenden Umgang mit dem Herrn. Das Wohl der Gemeinde lag ihm sehr am Herzen; wenn Leute bekehrt wurden, dann weinte er Freudentränen. Von seinen früheren Erlebnissen erzählte er gerne, und stets mit Thränen.
           Eigentlich krank war Vater Hellweg nur wenige Tage. Am 5. Februar 1897 entschlief er sanft und selig im Herrn. Als die Sprache ihn verließ, zeigte er nach oben, als ob er sagen wollte: "Ich gehe heim!"
           Neun deutsche und ein englisher Prediger wohnten der Leichenfeierlichkeit bei. Gattin, drei Söhne und drei Töchter schauen ihm nach, währen drei Kinder vorangegangen sind.
           Da Bruder Hellweg das älteste Glied unserer Konferenz war, so gedachten wir, diesen Herbst sein fünfzigjähriges Amtsjubiläum zu feiern. Doch nun feiert er droben. Seine Werke folgen ihm nach.

                Peter Hellweg.

           Our blessed late Father Hellweg was born on 13 March 1817 at Assel, Hannover, Germany.
           He came to New York in July 1839, removed the next year to New Orleans, and in the Spring of 1841 came to Marietta, Ohio. Here he entered into holy matrimony with Martha Danker, a daughter of Rev. Geo. Danker. As his wife was already converted, on Christmas Eve they attended church. Brother H. Köneke's sermon stirred him in a salutary manner, at the invitation he approached the alter and as they sang "How the Fog Must Lift," etc., because in the wee hours the morning star swelled his heart.
           In April 1843 the young married couple came to German Creek, Iowa. Following a note to Father Danker, a preacher by the name of J. Mann showed up the next year. Brother Hellweg evangelized and invited his countrymen to church service at his home. Soon he obtained a license to preach and in 1847 Brother L. S. Jacoby dispatched him as a circuit preacher.
           From the above mentioned date until the Fall of 1875 he was active as a circuit preacher. At this time he was drawn to a farm near Charles City where he lived for 15 years. He passed his last years at the home his son-in-law, Adam Schneider, in Garner, Iowa, where he died. Father Hellweg became a proficient preacher of repentance who lead many souls to the Lord. Love of the work of salvation and fidelity to those who placed their trust in him were the hallmarks of his character. His chosen church was very dear to him and the "Apologist" was absolutely essential. Reading it was a comfort to him. He made note of the most important articles and read them first. Because in his last years, Brother Hellweg could hardly hear a thing, and accordingly attended church services infrequently, he preserved a warm heart by contemplation of the Bible, by reading books of sermons and our newspapers, and by prayerful company with the Lord. The welfare of the community was of great interest to him; when people were converted, he cried tears of joy. He loved to tell stories of his early experiences, and always with tears.
           Father Hellweg was seriously ill only a few days. On 5 February 1897, he passed away peacefully and blest by the Lord. As speech left him, he pointed upwards, as if he wanted to say: "I am going home!"
           Nine German and one English preachers attended the funeral services. The widow, three sons and three daughters survive him; three children have preceded him.
           Because Brother Hellweg was the eldest member of our Conference, we had thought to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his appointment this Fall. Now he celebrates up above. His works succeed him.

           The Apologist mentioned above is Der Christliche Apologete. Deutsches Organ der Bischöflichen Methodistenkirche (The Christian Apologist. German Organ of the Episcopal Methodist Church), a newspaper founded 1844 in Cincinnati, Ohio by Wilhelm Nast.

    •      The following is a transcription of an obituary which is reported to have appeared in the Adams County Free Press, of Corning, Iowa, on 11 February 1897.

           Peter Hillweg died in Garner, Hancock county, Iowa, at 8 o'clock, Friday morning, February 5, 1897, aged 79 years, 10 months and 21 days.
           Deceased was the father of Dr. C. A. and E. W. Hillweg, who are well known to all are [sic] readers. He was the first German Methodist minister in the state of Iowa, and his first charge was at Farmington in 1847. For twenty-eight years thereafter he continued actively at the work. Mr. Hillweg died suddenly, not having been ill until but a short time before his death. It was probably a collapse of the vital forces. His wife and six children, three sons and three daughters, survive him. Of these, Dr. C. A. Hillweg and E. W., who now lives in Des Moines, are well known to our readers. All the children were present at the funeral, which occurred last Sunday afternoon. The pall bearers on this occasion were all ministers, each of whom had known the deceased for twenty years at least.
           There seems to have been an affinity for the ministry in the old gentleman's family. Beside being a minister himself, his father-in-law and one son-in-law were followers of that high calling.

           A biographical sketch of Rev. Hellweg published in 1913 reported that he had lived the last years of his life with his son-in-law, Adam Schneider.
