Shotwell to repay Hendrickson treasurer appointed by Orthodox Friends but rather wished to pay Stacy Decow who had lately been appointed Treasurer by the Hicksite faction which now held forth in that community. Here the Decision came down in favor of the Orthodox Friends as they were the originators of the loan. A very interesting exposition of the factions and their points of disagreement. Elias Hicks 1748-1830 of Long Island New York was a liberal Quaker preacher whose followers became known as Hicksites one of two factions created by the schism of 1827–28 in American Quakerism. Hicks was an avid abolitionist who further wanted to see a boycott of slave-produced goods inspired the establishment of stores that sold only products produced by free labor. After assisting in ridding the Society of Friends Quakers of slavery Hicks worked for general abolition. "The 'great separation' of 1827-28 began in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. Approximately two-thirds of members ranged themselves in the group that came to be called “Hicksite” and emphasized the role of the Inward Light in guiding individual faith and conscience while the remaining third eventually known as “Orthodox” espoused a more Protestant emphasis on Biblical authority and the atonement." .

Hertzog 1857-1940 was a photographer with studios in Nazareth Pen Argyle and Bethlehem Pennsylvania; a self-professed faith healer; author of the book "Wonderful Experiences" on Christian healing; and a failed rapist. <br /> He amassed a fortune but investments in the Union National Life Insurance bad mining stocks and flooded land along the seashore depleted his wealth. He declared bankruptcy in 1914 but continued in both of his businesses. <br /> Hertzog was arrested in March 1919 after being accused by Mrs. Mabel Rice a young married woman of Quakertown of assault and battery with attempt to commit rape. An article in the Intelligencer Journal of Lancaster stated that Mrs. Rice was the sister of Rev. O.G. Romig a local pastor and wife of Harry Rice a steelworker and believer of "pow wow healing". Mrs. Rice had been quite sick for some time and decided to try Dr. Hertzog as a last resort. She stated that he was extremely religious in the beginning but grew more bold in his actions as treatments went on. He even got her permission to use a room of her house to treat other patients all women. Hertzog wrote a confession witnessed by acting Magistrate Funk admitting to making improper advances upon Mrs. Rice knowing her to be a married woman that he should not have done so and that Mrs. Rice committed no wrongdoing and was pure of character.
