HOLM, John Campanius, Swedish clergyman,
b. in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1601; d. there, 17
Sept., 1683. He sailed with Gov. Printz from
Gottenburg, 1 Nov., 1642, and arrived at Fort Christina,
on the Delaware, 15 Feb., 1643, where he
entered on his duties as chaplain to the Swedish
colony, and continued to officiate in this capacity
during six years. Prior to his coming he had been
preceptor of the orphans' seminary in Stockholm.
Under his ministry in the colony a church was
erected at Tinicum, the seat of government, and
was consecrated by him, 4 Sept., 1646. This was
the first house of worship that was erected within
the limits of Pennsylvania. He manifested a
deep interest in the welfare of the Indians, and
performed missionary work among them. They
visited his house and came to hear him preach.
To further his work he applied himself to learning
their language, into which he here began
the task of translating Luther's catechism. His
labors in New Sweden ended in May, 1648, when
he sailed for home in the ship “Swan,” arriving at
Stockholm on 4 July following. On his return to
Sweden he was made chaplain to the admiralty,
and afterward rector at Upland, where he
completed his translation of the catechism into the
language of the Delawares, or Lenni-Lenape, which
is probably the first translation of any work into
an Indian language of this country. It was
published in the Delaware and Swedish languages
(Stockholm, 1696), together with a vocabulary, a
copy of which is in the library of the American
philosophical society. In the translation he
accommodates the Lord's Prayer to the circumstances
of the Indians by substituting for “daily bread”
“a plentiful supply of venison and corn.” He was
buried in the church of Frost Hults, where there
is a monument to his memory. — His grandson,
Thomas Campanius, published a history of New
Sweden, known as “Campanius's,” which is largely
made up, it is said, of data that were obtained
from his grandfather, and partly, too, it is
supposed, from information that was given verbally
by him to the author.
