Danker, George

Danker, George a Methodist Episcopal minister, was born near Bremen, Germany, in 1794. He was converted in 1824; immediately became an earnest exhorter, for which he was severely persecuted; labored some years as a city missionary with marked success; came to America in 1836, and settled in Marietta, Ohio, where for some time he preached with large success for the Lutheran Church. About three years later he united with the Cincinnati Conference, and in it continued faithful and laborious until 1859, when he became snuperannuated, and retired to Marietta, where he died, March 4, 1861. See Minutes of Annual Conferences, 1861, page 166.
