historian professor theologian
Gräbner was born on July 10, 1849, in Frankentrost, Michigan, the son of Johann Heinrich Philipp and Jacobine (Denninger) Gräbner. His father (1819-1898), born at Burghaig near Kulmbach in Upper Franconian Bavaria, studied under Wilhelm Löhe at Neuendettelsau, and emigrated to the United States in 1847 as pastor of a congregation of twenty-two families who bought government land in Saginaw County, Michigan, and established the poetically named colony of Frankentrost.
Since his father was a member of the Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Gräbner entered Concordia College at Fort Wayne, Ind. , in 1865 and Concordia Seminary at St. Louis in 1870, but illness kept him from completing both his academic and his theological course. He was already a promising scholar, steeped in Tacitus, Dante, and Luther, and profoundly influenced by his chief preceptor, Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm Walther.
In 1872 Gräbner became a teacher in the Lutheran High School at St. Louis. He was professor in Northwestern College at Watertown, Wisconsin, 1875-1878, and in the Wisconsin Synod's newly opened theological seminary in Milwaukee, 1878-1887. When he went to Milwaukee he was ordained as assistant pastor of St. Matthew's Church and also assumed the editorship of the synod's Gemeindeblatt. In 1887 on the death of his father-in-law he succeeded to the professorship of church history in Concordia Seminary, and after the retirement and death of Prof. C. H. R. Lange in 1892 he also lectured in English on dogmatics and kindred subjects. He published Dr. Martin Luther: Lebensbild des Reformators (1883), an edition of Chemnitz's Enchiridion (1883), Johann Sebastian Bach (1886), Half a Century of Sound Lutheranism in America (1893), Herr, Ich Warte auf Dein Heil (1895), Outlines of Doctrinal Theology (1898), and several minor writings. His most enduring work is the Geschichte der Lutherischen Kirche in America, Erster Theil (1892), which brings the story down to 1820 and was left uncontinued at his death. Gräbner had all the requisites of a historian except fairness. In January 1897 Gräbner issued the first number of the Theological Quarterly, of which he was not so much the editor as the author, for the paucity of contributors compelled him to write the contents of each number practically unassisted. The seven volumes that appeared during his lifetime are a monument to his varied learning, unbudgeable orthodoxy, and literary power. He wrote excellently in both English and German, read avidly in thirteen languages, and seemed to aspire to universal scholarship. For years he allowed himself but five hours a night for sleep; he was reputed to have read ten thousand books. In 1902 he paid an official visit to the Lutheran churches of New Zealand and Australia, arbitrated their quarrels, and returned home by way of Europe. In October 1903, immediately after the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination, his health broke, and after a painful illness of fourteen months he died in St. Louis on December 7, 1904 and was buried in Concordia Cemetery.
