The Niebuhr clan, the “Trapp Family of theology”as Time magazine once referred to them, moved to Lincoln, Illinois, in 1902. Reverend Gustav Niebuhr was pastor of St. John's Evangelic Church until his death in 1913. His son, Reinhold, followed briefly in his father's footsteps before moving on to Detroit and later Union Theological Seminary in New York, where he became a widely published author and theologian. Among the works credited to him are the “Serenity Prayer.”Other Niebuhrs include H. Richard, who was president of Elmhurst College and later taught at Yale University; Richard R. Niehuhr, who taught at Harvard; and Hulda Niebuhr, who taught at Boston University and later at McCormick Seminary in Chicago.
