' 1903 /J o<^ ^%€ PREFACE. The study of Genealogy is both interesting, and of great value. Its effects ought to be beneficial in maintain- ing the honor and integrity of a family extending back through a long line of progenitors whose memory should be cherished with loyal devotion to endless day, and whose virtues are worthy of emulation. It is commendable to be familiar with one's own family history, and eminently proper to put it on record in a convenient form for the benefit of future generations. Such records will be of incalculable value to genera- tions yet unborn, and will be highly prized by them, and upon the authors they will lavish lasting praise for having preserved from oblivion the traditions and history of the deeds and lives of the progenitors and their posterity. These geneological trees will become heirlooms in the family, and volumes will be sought for and placed in public libraries. In the family, too, they will wield an influence, as the lives of unselfish devotion to God, conscience, and family, of the forefathers are recounted, to keep unsullied and untarnished the family name. The work has been prepared at a much greater sacrifice of time than v/as anticipated. Had all promptly responded to communications the work would have been far easier, more complete, and less time and expense required. It is to be regretted that the records are not more complete, but, owing to the lack of interest in the work, some failed to respond and furnish the information desired. To Mr. Francis Beidler of Chicago, 111., belongs the credit of being the prime mover in securing the compilation of the Beidler History. Feeling a deep interest in the history of his ancestors and the origin of the family, he arranged for the collecting of the data and publication of the same in book form. IV PREFACE. The author acknowledges himself indebted to many of the family for kind favors received in the form of records and other data for the work, among whom may be especially mentioned those who have very materially aided the author in the work. They are: Rev. Harrison B. Garner of Downingtown, Pa. ; Judge Abraham M. Beitler of Philadelphia, Pa.; Joseph Beidler of Plumstead, Pa.; Levi N. Shelly of Dillinger, Pa.; Henry L. Shelly of Spin- nerstown. Pa.; Dr. M. P. Overholser of Harrisonville, Mo., and Miss Annie S. Overholt of West Overton, Pa., and others. AUTHOR. Milton, N. J., Aug. 6, 1903. INTRODUCTION. The desire to trace the ancestry of the present genera- tions, which have become so widely prevalent, for the past few years, is most laudable. It is no small honor to have had among the early settlers of this country those from whom we can claim our lineage. They were of the forces which gave character to the formative periods of our national life. This sturdy stock, to a large degree, had come through the adverse currents and storms of the religious persecutions, which were rife on the continent of Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Not only was it true of the early settlers of New England that they fled from the harsh restrictions of an established church in England, but also of many thousands who sought relief from the oppressive domination of the state church of Germany. The followers of Menno Simon found them- selves out of harmony with the polity of the Lutheran church, and sought for themselves a simpler and, as they claimed, purer mode of worship and service than was afforded by the great church of the Reformation. Unhappily for them they were in enforced, though unsought, opposition to the civil powers of the state which endeavored to secure uniformity of worship throughout its jurisdiction. To be other than Lutheran was to run counter to the authorized forms of religion. To differ from the legalized church resulted in fines, imprisonment and con- fiscation. The recalcitrant heretics who presumed to be- lieve otherwise than the prescribed orthodoxy of the state, had but little mercy shown them. Thus Protestants were repeating among themselves the hardships and sufferings which they had sought to escape by separation from the church of Rome. VI INTRODUCTION. Out from the midst of these turmoils many Mennonites sought refuge in the new country, which afforded a safe asylum to those who sought religious freedom. Emigration from the German states was quite general early in the eighteenth century. Many, following in the wake of Wil- liam Penn, sought homes for themselves in the unbroken wilderness of Pennsylvania. Jacob Beidler, the founder of this family in eastern Pennsylvania, doubtless was among the emigrants from the Rhenish Palatinate, whence so many of that faith seem to have come in the early years of the last century. Of his ancestry we have no knowledge. He came to this country when a young man and was married to Annie Meyer, daughter of Hans Meyer, who doubtless came from the same region about or prior to 1720, and was the progenitor of a numerous family. The history of his descendants is traced in the Moyer famJly records compiled by the author of this volume. Jacob Beidler settled in Milford Twp., Bucks Co., Pa. The facts of his life are few that we have been able to glean. The conditions under which these early settlers gained a livelihood were onerous in the extreme. Their hardy endurance, thrifty economies, and sturdy piety as- sured their success. The pioneers of that period laid broad and deep the foundations on which the succeeding genera- tions were enabled to construct the fabric of our national Independence. If our forefathers were not to any great degree enrolled among those who fought to secure liberties during the Revolution, it was owing to their conscientious scruples against bearing arms. While others fought during those trying years of blood and tears, our fathers in tilling the soil and in prosecuting other industries, helped to supply the sinews of war. However, in later years when the nation's life was endangered by the throes of civil war, the sons of these peace-loving sires withheld not themselves from their country's call. In many a battlefield of the Rebellion they fought and fell and died. Engraven on many a monument erected to commemorate the deeds of the INTRODUCTION. VII heroic dead will be found the names endeared to families recorded herein, and again in these recent times when at the call of oppressed humanity our country sent her sons forth to battle among the islands of the tropics and of distant seas, it will doubtless be found that the strain of heroic blood has not ceased to flow in our veins. It would not go beyond the facts to claim that there are representa- tives of this family from its wide spreading branches in every state of the Union. There is no trade, business or profession but has registered among its members the kin of our ancient progenitor. Religion was the basis of the rugged virtues of the early colonists. The meeting-house was erected almost as soon as their homes. And prior to the rude structures in which they assembled for divine service, woods and valleys were made vocal with their songs of praise in the open air assemblages. We, who now enjoy all the luxurious appoint- ments of our modern church buildings, can scarcely realize the deprivations amidst which our forefathers carried on their religious services, and were happy, too, in these primitive surroundings, because they could worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences with none to molest or make them afraid. Of such God-fearing men and women were the first families of our ancestry composed. By dint of hard toil they wrought out for them- selves homes of comfort, and reared amid the simplicity of plain manners, homely graces and meagre resources, the children, who grew up to call them blessed. We of these later generations whose lot is so favorably conditioned, will do well to emulate their virtues. We may manifest the same power of endurance, if not in subduing the virgin soil, in overpowering the forces of evil which threaten our nation's perpetuity. We can cultivate their artless piety, which honored God in the home, reverenced Him in the sanctuary, and promoted His laws in the state. We may thus pass the heritage received from the fathers down to the generations which may follow us, not only unimpaired, but enhanced by the accumulated treasures of wisdom, knowledge and religion, the resultant of the forceful VIII INTRODUCTION. energies which we have consecrated in our day to the uplift of our common humanity. In closing these introductory remarks I desire to remind all interested in the work, of our lasting obligations to the compiler of this volume for the persistent and pains- taking efforts which have brought it to its present pro- portions. One who has never tried to secure such data cannot imagine the inertia and indifference to be overcome on the one hand and the meagreness of facts to be obtained on the other, nor again the difficulties in the way of secur- ing exact dates of births and deaths. But in spite of all these hindrances the author has by "patient continuance in well doing," been able to collect a wealth of facts and figures which are both surprising and gratifying. And again, there is not a living member of the families herein mentioned but has been placed under great indebtedness, also, to Mr. Francis Beidler, the one by whose disinterested contributions this book has become a possibility. Having a high estimate of the value of such a work and desiring for others as well as himself a knowledge of our common ancestry, he has fostered the undertaking with undimin- ished interest from its inception to its close. We, of the present, whose lines of lineage run back for nearly two centuries to the same honored source, may esteem it a welcome privilege to extend our cousinly greeting to one who has proven himself a worthy son of worthy sires. Yours in ancestral bonds, H. B. GARNER. Downingtown, Pa., July 1899. EXPLANATIONS. In the preparation of this work it will be observed that all descendants are recorded in the regular order of birth, from the oldest down to the youngest, throughout the entire connections, each generation being marked consecutively from first to last. The Roman numerals placed before each name designate the generation to which they belong, as — I. Jacob Beidler (first generation). II. Barbara Beidler (Newcomer) (second generation). III. Susanna Newcomer (Landis) (third generation). IV. Barbara Landis (Jacoby) (fourth generation). Beginning with the first (I.) ancestor, Jacob Beidler, all his children are named as near in order of birth as possible; then follows the daughter, Barbara Newcomer (II. generation), and her children (ill. generation) next, and so on down to the last of her descendants. Then the next daughter of Jacob Beidler, of the I. generation, viz. Anna (Beitler) Oberholtzer, is carried down in like manner to the last of her descendants, and so on throughout the entire connections. When marriages occur between members of the con- nection the husband carries the record. In the general index will be found the names of all descendants mentioned in the book, also names of those married in the family, and the pages on which their family records are given in the body of the book. To find family records see Index of Branches, where names of all who had children of the first, second and third generations are given.

Jacob Beidler — account of coming to Pennsylvania, mar- riage to Anna Meyer, account of her family history and death, and names and marriages of children. I. Jacob Beidler, born in Germany about 1708, or 1709, emigrated to America in the early part of the eighteenth century. He is said to have been a "Redemptioner", that is, like many other German emigrants of Colonial times, he had not the money to pay his passage to America, and on his arrival in Philadelphia he was sold by the master of the vessel for a term of years, to a party who advanced the money for his passage over. It is quite evident that he served his time with some one in Chester county, Pa., as he at first lived in that county. He afterwards settled with his family in "Lower" Milford township, Bucks county, Pa., in what was then known as the "Great Swamp", and which was settled almost two centuries ago by English and Welsh Friends or Quakers, and by Germans of the Mennonite faith, who here sought and found refuge from the assaults of religious oppression in the fatherland, and here they and their descendants have lived side by side in peace and "brotherly love", generation after generation, for nearly two hundred years to the present time. The "Great Swamp" included in its territory several townships, and extended into the adjoining counties of Montgomery and Lehigh, with Quakertown as the central point. In the early settlement of this then wilderness dis- trict, much of the land was decidedly swampy and con- tinued so until the timber was cut down and the land drained. 2 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. Tradition says the early settlers found the place covered with a luxuriant growth of grass, and mostly heavily timbered, while the forests were interspersed with small prairies, and a rich soil. Here, not having the facilities for building houses, they erected their rude dwell- ings of bark, and later built more substantial dwellings. The thrift and industry of the early settlers soon changed the aspect of the great swampy wilderness; land was cleared up and drained, the rude huts disappeared, and in their places v/ere erected more substantial dwellings, with ample barns for crops and cattle, and everywhere abundance prevailed. Wolves, bears, deer, panthers, and venomous snakes were numerous for years. Rattlesnakes were especially troublesome to the mowers, who were compelled to wrap their legs with hay or other material to ward off their bites. There were also Indians located in different places, but they were kindly disposed towards these peaceable followers of William renn and Menno Simon, and all through the years of bloody and devastating wars with the infuriated and often treacherous red men, there was no clash between them and these peaceable, non-resistant settlers. The wigwams of the Indians were generally along the banks of the creeks, and more particularly along Swamp Creek, a branch of the Perkiomen and Tohickon, not far distant from the Beidler homestead, and con- sequently they were close neighbors. Here on Swamp Creek there remained as late as 1770 a remnant of a once powerful tribe. These early settlers, followers of William Penn and Menno Simon, were people who had left their homes and kindred in the fatherland on account of their religious con- victions, and settled here where they might enjoy liberty of conscience. They were a quiet, unassuming, plain, in- dustrious and upright Christian people. A people of peace, conscientious sons of toil, mostly following the pursuits of agriculture, or were millers, weavers and carpenters, avoid- ing worldly honors and political ambitions.

JACOB BEIDLER. 3 tions, however, have entered more largely into other occupations and the higher professions, until now they occupy every walk in life, from that of the country school- master to that of the medical practitioner, public officials, counselors of the law, state legislators, judges of the courts, and college presidents. Then, too, among the descendants of these non-resistant pioneer settlers were even those who entered armed legions of war, commanded in battle and fell in defence of country, home and humanity. Jacob Beidler married Anna Meyer, daughter of Hans Meyer, a pioneer, who had emigrated from Europe, either Germany or Switzerland, in the early part of the eighteenth century, or about 1725, and settled in Upper Salford town- ship, Montgomery county. Pa., about two miles east of Salfordville, where he purchased a tract of land containing 216 acres, besides the usual allowance of 6 per cent for roads. The deed of Isaac Pennington and wife and Casper Wister, to Hans Meyer, bears date July 23, 1729. The original homestead of Hans Meyer is now owned and oc- cupied by Jacob L. Moyer, a great-great-grandson. Nothing is known of the life and characteristics of Hans Meyer. He was a Mennonite and worshiped at the Franconia meet- ing-house, where his remains were buried, but he has no tombstone. The family of Hans Meyer consisted of the following children, viz.: Barbara, Henry, John, Jacob, Elizabeth, Hester and Anna. Barbara Meyer was born about 1710, and married John Fretz, who with his brother. Christian Fretz, emigrated from near the city of Manheim, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, Germany, formerly known as the Palatinate, or Rhenish Prussia. The family had been for a number of centuries resident in Germany, but probably earlier were of Swiss origin. It is said the Fretz brothers emigrated to America during the "last persecution". The exact date is not known, but in all probability it was about 1725. They, too, had emigrated to America on account of religious persecution. John Fretz probably settled for a 4 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. time in Montgomery county, then in 1737 or 1738 purchased the homestead in Bedminster, Bucks county, Pa., and moved thereon, where he continued to live until his death in 1772.

He inherited the old Fretz homestead in Bedminster, where he died May 1, 1803. His wife survived him twenty years and died May 8, 1823. It is a noteworthy fact that at the time of her death she was the mother of 12 children, had 109 grandchildren and 103 great-grandchildren. Abraham Fretz was born about 1736. He lived on a farm of 226 acres, located in the eastern part of Bedminster township, known as Fretz Valley, now owned by H. Erwin iretz and Reed Fretz, great-grandsons.

They settled at first somewhere in Chester county, and later in "Lower"* Milford township, Bucks Co., Pa., about one mile west of Spinnerstown, where he purchased a tract of 50 acres in 1753, and another tract of 70 acres and 111 perches was acquired by Proprietaries Patent of Thomas and Richard Penn, in 1760. In an article of agreement, dated May 1, 1801, Jacob Beitler agreed to convey to his son.

[seal] To the homestead Christian Beitler in 1812 added by purchase from Henry Shelly a tract of three (3) acres and 57 perches adjoining. Christian Beitler died June 26, 1827, and Letters of Administration on his estate were granted July 16, 1827, to Henry Fretz, his son-in-law, the widow, Susanna, having renounced. April 28, 1828, Henry Fretz, of New Britain township, petitioned for inquest of the above real estate. His petition sets forth that Christian Beitler died intestate on the date above given, survived by a widow, Susanna, and issue, three children: Elizabeth, wife of Henry Fretz (the peti- tioner), Nancy, wife of Abraham Moyer, and Mary Beitler. The property as returned by a recent survey was found to contain 132 acres and 80 perches. The heirs neglecting to accept it at the valuation placed thereon ($37.50 per acre), it was sold after considerable delay, in November 1829 to Abraham Moyer for $36.75 per acre. The deed therefor, from Henry Fretz, administrator of Christian Beitler, to Abraham Moyer, is dated April 1, 1830. The homestead is now owned by Mrs. Alfred Ritter, who is a great-grand- daughter of Christian Beitler and granddaughter of Abra- ham Moyer, and resides on the property, but the old home- stead proper is occupied as a tenant house. Of the personality of the pioneer Jacob Beitler we know nothing, and the exact time of his immigration to America has not been ascertained, but it is said that he came with the "second immigration of William Penn." Jacob Beitler, a venerable pioneer, lived to the great age of 101 years, and is said to have become blind in his latter days. He made his Will in 1801, which was probated and registered May 12, 1810, and reads as follows: In the name of God, Amen. I, Jacob Beidler, of Lower Milford Township, in the County of Bucks and State of 12 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. Pennsylvania, Yeoman, being weak in body, but of sound and perfect mind and understanding, Do make and put in writing this my last Will and Testament in manner & form following, that is to say — First, I order that all my Just Debts and funeral expenses be paid by my hereunto named Executors, and further I will and order my beloved Wife Anna shall have my Bed & Bedstead with all ap- purtenances thereunto belonging, likewise the chest with all what is in it for her use and and all other our Household Goods and Kitchen Furniture of whatsoever Sort it may be, and by whatsoever name it may be called, what we have at present, during her natural lifetime, and after her decease it shall be equally divided amongst all my children.

Newcomer Branch. Descendants of Barbara Beitler (born 1737) and John Newcomer. II. — 1. Barbara Beitler, born in 1737, died aged 73 years. Married John Newcomer. He was born in 1739, died aged 64 years, 11 months and 15 days. He was a farmer and lived and died in Upper Saucon Twp., Lehigh Co., Pa., on the place now (1898) owned by Charles Yeager. It is said that he was a Mennonite minister, and that he was imprisoned during the Revolutionary War "because being a Mennonite he was too conscientious to fight." The first meeting-house of the Mennonite congregation near Coopersburg, known as the Saucon Mennonite meet- ing-house, where John Newcomer and his wife are buried, was built about 1738, of logs. This was replaced by an- other in 1747. The present house was built in 1841. The first congregation worshiping there was the "Old School Mennonite", "and that body still retains all their original rights and privileges", but as there are scarcely any mem- bers of that creed remaining which still adheres to the creed of their fathers, they have had no regular pastor there since the death of Rev. Samuel Moyer in 1877. The "New School Mennonites" are now the only denomination holding services there. As no records were kept, it is im- possible to give the order in which the congregation was ministered to by its pastors, as two or three sometimes preached there at the same time, but among the early preachers was Rev. Jacob Meyer, who was born in Switzerland in 1721, died May 4, 1790, and who served as pastor till his death, but how long is not known. It is quite probable that John NeWcomer was associated with him as one of the ministers. John Newcomer made his Will in 1802, which was probated Dec. 7, 1804. His Executors were 16 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. his son, John Newcomer, Jr., and "Christian Beitler, his brother-in-law." The will reads as follows: In the name of God, Amen. I, John Newcomer, of Upper Saucon township, Northampton county, in the state of Pennsylvania, Yeoman, do find myself in an advanced age, but of sound and perfect mind, memory and under- standing, but considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, do make and publish this my last Will and Testament in manner and form following, viz.: 1st. I Will and order that all my just debts and funeral expenses be speedily paid after my decease, by my herein- after named Executors. 2dly. I give and bequeathe unto my beloved wife, Barbara, a cow to have the choice out of my whole flock, the clock, two beds and bedsteads and bed- dings thereunto belonging, to take the choice out of all my beds, my ten plate stove, her chest, a table and such other of my household goods and furniture as she may choose or may have occasion for. I also give and bequeathe unto her the sum of one nundred pounds lawful money of Pennsyl- vania, to be paid to her in one year after my decease, the same to be paid out of my personal estate by my herein- after named Executors for her own use & at her own dis- posal in case she remains my widow. 3dly. I Will and order that my beloved wife, Barbara, shall have and enjoy all and singular the articles of sub- sistance, and the rights & privileges which I have re- served and agree upon for her in a certain article of agree- ment made between me and my tv/o sons, namely John and Henry Newcomer, bearing date the twenty-third day of this instant, as in and by the same may appear. 4thly. I do hereby give and bequeathe unto my said two sons, John and Henry Newcomer, the eight last yearly payments, each one hundred pounds, which they have agreed to pay unto me by the above mentioned article of agreement. 5thly. I do hereby give and bequeathe unto my son, Abraham Newcomer, the sum of four hundred pounds out of the last payment which he owes me and agreed to pay by a certain article of agreement bearing JOSEPH W. NEWCOMER, M. D. (See page 3o. ) BARBARA BEITLER. 17 date the twenty-third of this instant, as in and by the same may appear. 6thly. It is my Will and order that my six children, namely Susana, Jacob, Nancy, Elizabeth, Molly and David, each of them shall have his share (including what each of them has received of me in my lifetime), equal to the shares I have herein given to my three sons, namely John, Henry and Abraham, and those of my said six children which have not been advanced in my lifetime shall have a right to receive first a part of their or as much as will be an equal share of those that have been advanced in my lifetime and it shall be paid to them by my herein- after named Executors in yearly payments, as my said three sons are to pay the same according to the agreement aforesaid and after the shares are made equal amongst my said six children, then it shall be paid to them according to their rank of age, and when all the shares of my herein named nine children are made equal in the manner above set forth, then all the rest, residue, and remainder of my personal estate not otherwise herein bequeathea, of what kind & nature soever, I give and bequeathe unto my follow- ing nine children, namely Susana, Jacob, Nancy, John, Henry, Elizabeth, Abraham, Molly and David, equally, to be divided between them and to be paid in payments as they become due by my said three sons, according to their rank of age. 7thly. In case my said wife should happen to marry again then she is only to have the herein bequeathed house- hold goods and furniture, but all the other gifts hereby given and the privilege expressed in the heretofore men- tioned articles of agreement relating to her privilege on the premises and her yearly subsistance shall from thence cease, determin and be void. Lastly. I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my said son, John Newcomer, and my brother-in-law, Christian Beitler, of Bucks County, to be the sole executors of this my last Will and Testament, and I do hereby give to him, the said Christian Beitel, full power and authority to sign, seal, execute and deliver a lawful Deed of Conveyance for one full, equal and undivided moiety or half part of the 18 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. whole into two full, equal parts to be divided of, and in two certain tracts of land which I have sold in a certain article of agreement, dated the twenty-third of this instant, unto my son, John Newcomer.

In 1899 he and his sons John and Frederick built a new saw mill and crate factory at the E. A. W. rail- road station, Sharon Centre, O., where the sons are doing a flourishing business. Frederick Alderfer was a man held in high esteem, a kind and affectionate husband and father, and an exemplary Christian. He was sick for a year, but was confined to his bed only eighteen days, when death came to his relief. He was very solicitous for the spiritual welfare of his family, and his prayer was that they might so live that they could meet him in the home beyond. His was a triumphant death, and as the veil that separates this from the future life was drawn aside, a glorious vision greeted his eye as he exclaimed, "What a beautiful car- riage is coming to take me through the clouds!"

He then made his home with his brother Henry and became an apprentice in his steam marble works, where he served for four years besides attending the public schools. At the age of seven- teen he had mastered his trade and worked as journeyman for a short time. Although having acquired a common school education he felt a desire of obtaining a more liberal education. He accordingly entered Mount Pleasant Sem- inary, Boyertown, Pa., where he took an academic course and entered Palatinate College, Myerstown, Pa., in the spring of 1870. In January 1873 he became a member of the Sophomore Class at Ursinus College. Having deter- mined upon taking up the profession of medicine he en- tered the office of Dr. G. T. Fox, Bath, Pa., at the close of that term of college. Two shears later he graduated at Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York City. Being desirous of a more extended knowledge of medicine he entered the Senior class at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, where he devoted his time to special studies, and also graduated from that institution m the class of 1876. In July of the same year he located at Ackerman- ville, Pa., where he practiced his profession for a period of seven years. At this time things began to boom in what is now known as the great Slate Belt. Pen Argyl, now a thriving town of 4,000 inhabitants, was then unknown, and also the spot now flourishing with industries was a wilder- ness at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains. Quarry after quarry was opened and developed, until the slate business assumed gigantic proportions. Thus Pen Argyl now bears the proud distinction of occupying a position in the center and heart of the great Slate Belt of Eastern Pennsylvania. Dr. Swartz, grasping the opportunity, moved his office to this booming town in its early days, and through his un- tiring efforts and skill as a physician and surgeon he kept apace with the progress of the rising town, gained many friends and enjoys a lucrative practice. Dr. Swartz served a number of years on the Board of Directors of the public schools, and is now the Secretary of the local Board of Health, which position he has held 46 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. for years. In 1894 he received the nomination for the Legislature on the Republican ticket and lacked but 207 votes of an election in a district whose Democratic majority of 3,500 to 4,000 was seldom known to be shaken.

Clarence, the eldest, had gone to Port Provi- dence for the mail, and when returning was met about one- fourth mile from home by his brothers. By the roadside was a sand hole, into which all jumped except little Lewis. Suddenly the overhanging bank gave way and buried the three eldest and the fourth all but his head. Albanus told Lewis to give the alarm, and help soon came. Albanus was rescued uninjured. Clarence was next reached and was supposed to be dead, but was resuscitated in a little while. As soon as possible Elhanan and Benny were reached, but both were dead, though only covered with eighteen inches of sand. The funeral was largely attended. The ministers present were Revs. C. I.

In 1876 he moved to Marshall Co., and in 1887 to Pottawattomie Co., where he remained until his death. He died at Manhattan, Kansas, where he had gone to receive medical treatment for one of his eyes. Shortly after retiring for the night he was suddenly taken with heart trouble, and died in a short time. His daughter, Miss Ella, was the only one of the family with him when he died. "Mr. Stauffer, all through life, exhibited traits of char- acter and a spirit of social deportment which attracted scores of men, women and children to him as confiding friends, who no doubt will deck his eternal brow with wreaths of undying love." He was firm and confiding in his belief of divine power in Almighty God, and all through the many adversities he encountered in life, he never lost sight of his obligations to God. This fact was clearly shown only a few moments before he closed his eyes in death, when he knelt beside his bed in the presence of his daughter and there offered prayer to God and committed himself to His care.

He has always taken great pleasure in hunting, and during his lifetime has killed nineteen wild turkeys. Although old in years, he has never grown old in disposition.

Mr. Overholt prosecuted his trade continuously till about 1810, when he and his youngest brother, Christian, pur- chased a special interest in the homestead farm, and after a couple of years' co-partnership with his brother in farm- ing he bought the latter's interest, comprising 150 acres, at $50.00 an acre, a price regarded high. This purchase in- cluded a log distillery, having the capacity of three or four bushels of grain per day only; at that time nearly every farm in the neighborhood possessed its private distillery. Mr. Overholt soon after the purchase built a stone distil- lery which had a capacity of from forty to fifty bushels per day, but he had no mill and got his grain chopped on Jacob's Creek in what is now Scottdale, and at Bridgeport. The hauling of the chop from these places to the distillery was principally by cattle driven by Mr. Overholt's younger sons, in whose minds dwelt long after vivid memories of those slow and dreary days, when the cattle were likely to stall at various points along the road. About 1834 Mr. Overholt built a brick flouring mill, and thereafter did his own chopping for the distillery. This mill and distillery were kept running until 1859, when both were taken down and on their site was erected a large structure comprising mill and distillery, the dimen- sions of which were 100 feet in length, 63 in width, and six stories in height. The capacity of the distillery is 200 bushels per day, that of the mill 50 barrels of flour. A short time before the erection of the new building, Mr. Henry S. Overholt, the oldest child of Abraham Overholt, purchased a half interest in his father's farm, flouring and distilling business. Abraham Overholt was the first dis- coverer of coal in that portion of Westmoreland county, and commenced its use before others used it. Prior to its discovery coal was brought from the other side of the mountains to the blacksmith shops of the region, and which it was found stood over the finest strata of coal. Mr. Over- holt used to exhibit his coal mines in an early day as a curiosity to visiting strangers from the East. Abraham Overholt as a business man was distinguished for the order ANNA BEITLER. 157 with which he conducted all his affairs, for his firmness in decision, for his promptness, great energy and punctuality. He was never known to disappoint a creditor seeking pay- ment. He was gentle to his employes and straightforward in all his dealings. As a citizen he was what his character would indicate. He was public spirited and one of the earliest and most ardent advocates of the present school system of the State. He was very successful in business, and his estate paid out to the heirs about $350,000. Mennonites. Children: 1. Henry; 2. Anna; 3. Jacob; 4. Abraham; 5. Elizabeth; 6. Martin; 7. Christian; 8. John.

Osterhout, at Ridgeway, Pa., where she was on a visit, and expected to return to Scottdale on the 16th, but on the Sunday evening previous she was somewhat indisposed, and before daylight it became necessary to send for the family physician. Con- sultation became essential, and two eminent physicians, one from Cleveland and one from Buffalo, were called, but all to no purpose. Mrs. Overholt was of that rare and rich temperament that she possessed the power of adapting her- self to everybody. Her sympathies were broad, and her religious life, while deeply spiritual and profoundly reven- tial, was ever lighted up with a glowing cheerfulness. Her presence in the church was a benediction to all. Her fervent and pathetic prayers and heart-to-heart talks in 158 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. the prayer meetings will long be treasured in the memories of her co-laborers in the church. To her pastor she was an inspiration in his work. Ever ready with a word of en- couragement and commendation, when necessary and ap- propriate, she was entirely free from adulation. Positive in her own convictions, she always emphasized them in the most kindly spirit. She was always tolerant and charitable, and by most intimate friends was never known to give expression to an unkindly sentiment. At her funeral the singers, with sorrowing, tearful voices, sang the songs she loved, and her pastor paid deserved tribute, while flowers in abundance covered the casket.

Tinstman, b. in East Huntington Twp., Westmoreland Co., Pa., Sept. 13, 1834; mrd. Harriet Cornelia Markle, daughter of Gen. C. P. Markle, of West- moreland Co., Pa., July 1, 1875. P. O., Turtle Creek, Pa. Abraham Overholt Tinstman, born in Westmoreland Co., Pa., was reared on the farm where the Emma Mine Coke Works are now located. He received a common school education and remained on the farm until twenty- five years of age, when he went to Broad Ford, Fayette county, to take charge of the mill, distillery and lands of his maternal grandfather, Abraham Overholt. In 1864 A. O. Tinstman became a partner with his grandfather in the firm of A. Overholt & Co., and continued to manage this company's affairs until the death of the latter. Five years previous to this event Mr. Tinstman and Joseph Rist had bought six hundred acres of coal land near Broad Ford, and in 1868, in partnership with Col. A. S. M. Morgan, they opened what is now called the Morgan Mines, and engaged extensively in making coke. Morgan & Co. then controlled almost the entire coke business of that region, and built a mile of railroad to secure an outlet for their product. In 1870 Mr. Tinstman organized and built the Mt. Pleasant & Broad Ford Railroad, connecting with the Pittsburg & Connellsville Railroad at Broad Ford. He continued its president until he sold the entire road to the B. & O. R. R. six years later. This was the beginning of the development of the coke business in Westmoreland county. In 1871 he formed another coke company and associated with him Messrs. Joseph Rist and H. C. Frick, under the firm name of H. C. Frick & Co., thus establishing the great H. C. Frick Coke Co., and this firm built two hundred (200) coke ovens, now known as the "Novelty" and "Henry Clay" Works. In 1872 Morgan & Co. bought 400 acres of coal lands at Latrobe, and Mr. Tinstman also made extensive purchases of other coal tracts, which led to the loss of his entire possessions in the panic of 1873. He set bravely to work to retrieve his losses, and in 1878 and 1880 was enabled to purchase options on coal tracts in the Connellsville region. In the last named year he sold DANIEL B. BEITLER. (See page 234.) ANNA BEITLER. 161 thirty-five hundred acres at a good profit, and soon bought a half interest in the Rising Sun Coke Worlds. About this time he established the firm of A. O. Tinstman &, Co., in Pittsburg, and was highly successful in his operations. In 1881 he acquired Mt. Braddock and Pennsville Coke Works, and three years later sold all his coke interests. For the last ten years he has been engaged in the purchase and sale of coal lands in Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In 1879 was built the fine mansion which Mr. Tinstman and family now occupy. The grounds include the site where once stood a pioneer cabin, the home of Mrs. Myers, which gave shelter to George Washington after his raft had capsized in the Allegheny on one of his exploring expedi- tions.

Nearly a third of a century ago he retired from the firm and became president of the First National Bank of Mt. Pleasant, Pa.

He followed at different times the occupation of farming and distilling. In the autumn of 1858 he accom- panied his son Abraham to Fostoria, Ohio, where the latter had purchased a farm. During the remaining years of his life he made his home with this son. In disposition he was impulsive and quick spoken, but kind hearted and generous to a fault. His wife survived him nearly twenty years. She was a sister to his brother Abraham Overholt's wife, a daughter of Rev. John and Elizabeth Stauffer. Christian Overholt and his wife were faithful members of the Mennonite church, and after moving to the State of Ohio, they drove a distance of twelve miles to attend wor- ship in a church of their chosen denomination. To the grandchildren one of the most precious mem- ories is that of their grandmother. Her son and his wife were untiring in their devotion to her, while her presence in their home was ever like a gracious benediction. Her son often said of her, "I have never seen Mother out of patience, nor heard her utter one unkind word." She re- tained full possession of her mental faculties until her death at the age of nearly ninety-four years. Children: 1. Abraham; 2. Sarah; 3. Henry; 4. Anna; 5. Elizabeth; 6. Christian. IV. — 1.

Many interesting incidents of his perilous journey, for want of space, must be passed over, such as sickness and death on the train, a burial scene on the Plains, witnessing the cremation of an Indian chief, a war dance by 2,000 Indians, a murder on the emigrant road, the capture of the mur- derer, his trial, conviction and execution, all done between sunup and sundown, scenery of the South Pass of the Rocky Mountains, a narrow escape from a pack of wolves, a foot race for life from a band of hostile Pawnee Indians, "Devil's Gate" on the Sweetwater, and cordial reception by "Jim" Beckwith, a former Indian Chief of the Crow Indians, etc. Suffice it to say that he safely arrived in Butte county in September following without a dime in his pocket. Here he hired out to a mining company at four dollars per day and board. A few months later he had charge of the working "gang," and a short time subsequently he became one of the owners of the mine. Being a stranger in a strange land, and without experience, his life's struggles began with its alternations of successes and fail- ures. At one time his mining property in Sierra county was estimated to be worth from $80,000 to $100,000, but by trusting to the honesty of a "friend," he became involved in a law-suit which cost him over $3,000, and the loss of all his valuable mining property. In the great upheaval of political parties in 1856 he took an active part in the formation of the Republican ANNA BEITLER. 175 party in Sierra county and became its first candidate for the Legislature from the 17th Judicial District the follow- ing year. He was one of the nine delegates from Sierra county to the first Republican State convention ever held in California, which convened in the city of Sacramento, Feb. 16, 1860, for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Republican convention held in Chicago, which nominated the immortal Abraham Lincoln as its standard- bearer. On the 11th day of August 1860 Dr. Shesler boarded the steamer for Panama, and was on his way to his old Ohio home, which destination he reached in September, after an absence of eight years and five months. These were the most active years of his life and were crowded with many dangers, disappointments, successes and failures, labors of body and mind, interspersed with many incidents of pleasure. In 1863 he enlisted in the 49th O. V. L and served his time till after the close of the war. Soon after marriage he with his wife moved to the town of Fostoria, Ohio, where they resided until the fall of 1881, when, on account of the failing health of Mrs. Shesler, they moved to California, selecting the city of San Jose, Santa Clara county, as their place of residence, and where they still reside. In 1874 he began the study of medicine, and graduated from the Physio-Medical College of Cincin- nati, Ohio, in March 1877, which profession he is still fol- lowing as a "specialist." In 1891 he became afflicted with partial paralysis of the motor nerve, which deprived him of an active practice. Mrs. S., Christian Ch. Children: 1. Ada; 2. Minnie; 3. Walter. VI. — 1.

Mary Landis, about 1802. She was b. near Franconia, Montgomery Co., Pa., in 1779; d. Aug. 14, 1823. Reared on a farm, industry, frugality and economy were a prominent part of his early education. Early trained in the religious faith of his forefathers he became a devout, conscientious and consistent member of the Mennonite church; full of zeal for the cause of his Master, a regular attendant on the services of the church and with an open hand of charity for the cause, setting a godly example be- fore his family and ever maintaining the deportment of a Christian man both at home and abroad. His advice and counsel were sought by many and he was esteemed as one of excellent judgment. When a young man he labored very hard, and later in life he related that many a time on awaking in the morn- ing his fingers were so stiff and swollen he was obliged to use one hand to open the fingers of the other before he could put on his garments. He also related that when a boy, during the year known as the cold season, he often went to mill on horse- back with a quantity of dried chestnuts, dried potatoes and a little rye in a sack to be ground for griddle cakes — an ample schooling to make the lesson of frugality impressive. About the year 18(J2 he wooed and won the hand of Mary Landis, who mutually with him as a loving and affectionate wife and faithful mother shared the joys and carried the burdens of life until her death, which came all 186 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. too soon in the year 1823. To them were born the following children: 1. John; 2. Elizabeth; 3. William; 4. Jacob; 5. Abraham; 6. Joseph; 7. Daniel; 8. Israel; 9. Mary; 10. Hannah; 11. Samuel; 12. Josiah. After marriage they settled on the farm in Chester Valley, a little over two miles from Valley Forge, on the road to Phoenixville, where now lives his daughter, Hannah Beidler. Here the children were reared and received their early education at the old Diamond Rock schoolhouse. During the years of their bereavement the eldest daughter, Elizabeth, took charge of the family and with a matronly hand administered the affairs with great credit. In the year 1825 he married Frances Roher, who with a motherly heart assumed the grave and responsible duties of the home, being much loved and respected by the chil- dren. She was b. Nov. 5, 1780; d. Apr. 8, 1855. At the time of this marriage, however, some of the older members of the family began to feel the necessity of pushing out into the world for themselves, thus diminishing the family cares at home; and with the coming and going of the years, Mr. Beidler became one of the thrifty and prosperous farmers of the valley. Not many years after his second marriage he built a commodious family residence on the northeast part of the old farm just at the foot of the Valley hill, with comfortable outbuildings, to which he retired, giving the care of the farm to his son. Rev. Israel Beidler. Some time in the 30's he built, or was instrumental in building, the Menno- nite meeting house in the valley, a little over one-half mile west of his home. For some reason, religious services were seldom held here and since his death the property has fallen into decay. April 8, 1855, he was again bereft, by the death of his second wife. He was fortunate, however, in having his youngest daughter, Hannah, still at home, who tenderly cared for him during the remainder of his life. He was exceedingly fond of fishing and after retiring from the farm he often went during the summer season to the JOHN BEITLER. 187 Schuylkill river and seldom returned without a good catch. He almost lived to see the close of the great rebellion, of which he was repeatedly heard to speak prophetically long years before it took place, as certain to come. He died Dec. 25, 1864, aged 86 years, 28 days, and his remains sleep in the quiet little churchyard beside those of loved ones gone before. After his death the homestead came into the possession of his daughter Hannah, who has presided there with matronly heart for nearly forty years. It, however, recently passed into the hands of her niece, Mrs. M. F. Kemble, of Philadelphia. It is still the dear old home and the hearts of the grandchildren turn toward it v/ith many fond re- membrances. And it is hoped a place so cherished may not soon pass into the hands of strangers. IV.— 1. John Beidler, b. in Chester Co., Pa., Oct. 14, 1803; d. in Canandaigua, Ontario Co., N. Y., Mar. 25, 1845; mrd. Rauchy Ann Leacock, Oct. 18, 1833. She was b. at Mt. Pleasant, N. J., Feb. ; d. in Lenawee Co., Mich., Dec. 12, 1883. John Beidler received a good education and was an excellent scribe. He was the oldest of eight chil- dren, in consequence of which his services were in great demand on his father's farm. On attaining his majority he engaged in the purchase of cattle and sheep for the Philadelphia market, often going on horseback as far west as the central and western portion of the State of Ohio and purchasing cattle for the Cincinnati market. In the spring of 1832 he went into the State of New York to purchase a drove of sheep which he procured principally in the county of Ontario, during which time he put up with an old gentleman, a well-to-do farmer in the township of East Bloomfield, by the name of John B. Allen. Here he became acquainted with Miss Rauchy Ann Leacock, Mr. Allen's granddaughter, and after marketing his sheep in Philadelphia, returned in the autumn and they were mar- ried Oct. 18, 1833. He purchased an excellent farm of 117 188 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. acres on the west shore of Canandaigiia lake, three miles from the village of Canandaigiia, in the county of Ontario. This farm contained an excellent apple orchard, which he greatly improved by grafting until it was said he had the best fruit in the county and none better in western New York. He was the first man in the State to attempt the shipping of green fruit to supply the then destitute western market. In the fall of 1848 he packed 1,200 barrels of choice apples, which he shipped, but owing to a lack of better facilities than the slow transportation of the Erie canal his apples were frozen before they reached Buffalo and the whole cargo was a total loss. He was exceedingly fond of fishing, and fish were then abundant. He v/as the first man on the lake to possess a large seine, which he and two others knitted during the winter season. He was counted the most successful fisherman on the lake. Other parties becoming jealous of his success came in the night and destroyed his seine. The perpetrators were never apprehended. Politically he was a strong Whig, and while greatly interested in putting others into office, he refused to hold any office himself. In the days of "Old Tippecanoe" he and one of his neighbors employed men and went into the woods and cut down a la,rge tree; they hev/ed out a large canoe 42 feet long, mounted it on wheels and put six span of horses be- fore it; twenty men rode in it with paddles, with the American flag for a sail, and rode to the election. In the month of October, 1844, he was taken ill with influenza, from which he suffered greatly in the head, and after being severely salivated with calomel a large seton v/as put in the back of his neck, all of which was of no avail. He lingered until March 25, 1845, when he died with what physicians termed abscess on the brain. He was not a member of any church, but was a moral, upright man, highly respected and greatly beloved, and kindly disposed; he was the friend of the poor. After his death the farm was sold, and the family, consisting of his wife, three sons and one daughter, removed to Chester JOHN BEITLER. 189 Co., Pa. Mrs. Beidler, Meth. Children: 1. Jacob; 2.

Minister and physician. He was not yet eleven years old at the death of his father, in March 1845. After removing to Chester Co., Pa., he was one year with his grandfather, and afterwards was with his uncle Abraham in Montgomery county until he had passed his sixteenth year, when he removed to Lenawee Co., Mich. Here, after attending school for a year, he engaged in teaching and later served two terms as superintendent of schools. He taught in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Missouri, and while in Illinois had the opportunity of taking up the study of medicine, which he pursued the greater part of two years privately, with the advantage of a hospital or infirm-ary practice. He then began the study of theology, in 1856, and was first licensed to preach the gospel in November 1858. In the spring of 1858 he and two others, Newell Sexton and Aretus Sexton, brothers, packed their carpet sacks and started on foot for the v/estern part of Missouri, a distance of over 300 miles. The rivers were swollen and no bridges, and they were often obliged to v/ade. On one occasion they v/aded across the bottoms of Linn river from one till four o'clock in the afternoon and were so chilled that Newell Sexton took fever and died. They vv^ere in water from knee deep up to their arms all that time and the water as cold as ice; often they were obliged to carry their carpet sacks on their heads that they might have a change of dry clothing on reaching the other side. In 1859, Mar. 28, he was married to Ann Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel C. and Almyra Ingalls, of Dover, Mich,, and, returning to the State of Missouri, settled at Hamilton in Caldwell county. Here he remained until the breaking out of the rebellion. In the autumn of 1860, after the presidential election, the excitement ran very high, making 190 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. it unsafe for people from the Northern States, and for six months they were not certain on going to bed at night that the house would not be burned over their heads. They lived in constant fear of their lives until the 27th day of April, 1861, when they were warned by a committee that they must leave the State or enter the rebel ranks, and were given thirty-six hours in which to make up their minds. After being notified a meeting was held at his house and they were not long in reaching a decision, as there were only eight Union families in town. So on Sun- day they gathered up a few things and on Monday morning at 7:30 o'clock left for Illinois. He landed in Quincy at 6 p. m., with a wife and one child and not money enough to buy a cracker, but God raised up friends for them. They left their house furnished and provisioned for the rebels. This was the second misfortune that overtook him, as he lost all his property in the crash of 1857. Returning to Michigan they were made comfortable and happy. In 1868 he entered the Synod of Northern Indi- ana and in January 1869 became pastor of Yellow Creek charge in Stephenson Co., 111., and united with the Synod of Northern Illinois, of which Synod he is still a member. He has been instrumental in building three new churches and organizing as many new congregations. He was pastor at Yellow Creek for six years, at Twin Grove two years, at Davis seven years, at Lanark eight years, and six years at Monroe, during which time he was pastor at Twin Grove also. He was several times honored with the Presidency of Synod, has often been placed on important committees in the work of the Synod, and was several times chosen as a delegate to the General Synod. For twenty-nine years he has continued a member of this body amid the coming and going of scores of his brethren, and is at this time its oldest active member. In 1878 he was legally authorized to continue the practice of medicine under the new law and is an active member of the Northwestern Homoeopathic Medical Society. He continued the practice during the years of his ministerial life as a secondary matter, al- though quite successful. Having passed his three score and JOHN BEITLER. 191 nearly four years he is still active, and with the poet can say: " The future lies before me, And I know not where I'll be, But where'er my path be leading.

After the death of his father he also removed to Chester Co., Pa., where he resided with his grandfather until the war of the Rebellion in 1861, when he enlisted, first in the three months' service, but before his time expired he enlisted in the 97th Regiment of Penn- sylvania Volunteers, Co. H, His company was sent to Florida to guard a point at or near St. Augustine. Here he remained until Apr. 3, 1864, when he returned home on fur- lough, at which time he re-enlisted during the war. Return- ing to his company he remained in Florida until they were ordered to join Sherman at Charleston, S. C, and with this army marched on Petersburg, Va. Before Petersburg he was wounded in the thigh, but was soon able to rejoin his company. In front of Petersburg his detachment lay in the trenches three days without relief, food or water. The weather was exceedingly hot and rainy; there was water in the bottom of the trenches from three inches to one foot in depth, and the boys were obliged to dig holes in the bank in which to lie. From where he lay he could throw a stone into the rebel works. The excessive heat and fatigue brought on fever and he was taken to the 18th Army Corps Hospital, but lived only three days. He expired on the 2d day of August, 1864, aged twenty-three years. He was a brave soldier, having on several occasions won promotion, which he refused. V. — 4. George L.

Re- suming his studies, he graduated from Macalester College, St. Paul, Minn., in 1894, with the degree of B. R. In the fall of the same year (1894) he entered Princeton Theolog- ical Seminary and completed the course in that institution. In February 1897, several months before his studies were completed, he was called to supply the pulpit of the Cen- tennial Presbyterian church, at Jeffersonville, Montgomery Co., Pa., and on May 13 of the same year was ordained and installed as pastor of that church.

The farm was also the residence of his son, John Beitler, but is now (1899) occupied by the latter's son, Holland Beitler. John Beitler, the subject of this sketch, was of German descent and combined the generous hospitality and habits of industry for which the true type of his race are proverb- ial. Dying at the great age of nearly ninety-three years, he had survived all his youthful companions of his own age, and remained to the succeeding generations an object of veneration for purity of character and kindliness of nature, such as is rarely found. Lacking much book education, yet he possessed such clear common sense and soundness of judgment as to make his counsel sought by high and low. Though living to an age when most minds become feeble. MAJOR ABRAM B. GARNER. (See itage l'38.) JOHN BEITLER. 209 his intellect remained unclouded to the last, and he de- lighted to have his neighbors and acquaintances call to see him and talk over current events of the day. His mind was richly stored with reminiscences of the past, reaching far back into the dim distance beyond the memories of those by whom he was surrounded, and constituted a living his- tory of the neighborhood for three-fourths of a century. He was one of the County Commissioners of Chester county in 1838, and during his term the present county jail at West Chester was built. He was also a member of the State Legislature of Pennsylvania in 1843. To both of these positions he was chosen for his rare honesty and freedom from the scheming of the politicians. His funeral took place on the 26th of December, 1872, which was the most inclement day of the season; the respect in which he was held was proven by those attending regardless the extreme cold and blinding hail and snow. He lived to be loved by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, an esteemed citizen. Full of years, at the advanced age of ninety-three, he passed away, the lamp of life slowly flickering out. He and wife were buried side by side in the Friends burying- ground at Lionville. Children: 1. Jesse; 2. Hannah; 3. John; 4. Mary; 5. Julia; 6. Eleanor. IV. — 1. Rev.

Samuel Bring- hurst and wife joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called Mormons), about the year 1845. They soon thereafter left Chester Co., Pa., and went to Nauvoo, Illinois, where they resided about a year, when they were driven away by a mob, with all the rest of the Latter Day Saints, from their homes and temple. They crossed the Mississippi river and went to the Rocky Moun- tains, taking their effects — farming implements, seeds, grain, provisions, bedding for themselves and family in one wagon, drawn by an ox team. While camping on the banks of the Missouri river in a tent, with the weather so cold as to freeze the river over, a son was born to them. After a long and tiresome journey they reached the Salt Lake Valley in September 1847. They at once set to work to prepare the soil to grow their crops and to build a fort for protection from the Indians. The land was very dry and barren, and ditches had to be dug so as to irrigate the land before any crops could be grown. The first year they suc- ceeded in raising enough for seed, with a little to spare for food. Provisions were very scarce, and they lived mostly on roots and wild fowls. The second year after they had planted their crops, millions of crickets came and the prospect was that they would destroy everything, but the gulls flew in flocks from the lake every day and devoured the crickets, and thus a part of the crop was saved and the people delivered from starvation.

JOHN BEITLER. 217 Samuel Bringhurst, being a mechanic, spent most of his time in making grain cradles, stocking plows and re- pairing wagons. In the spring of 1850 he went two hundred miles south of Salt Lake City and established another colony, after which he returned to Salt Lake City and con- tinued at his trade. As one of the first settlers of Salt Lake Valley he did a great deal to build up and improve the country, which in fifty-two years has increased in popula- tion to about 300,000. Children: 1.

Removed with his parents to the city of Nauvoo in the State of Illinois, in the year 1845, they having become members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints previous to moving west. In 1847 the family, consisting of father, mother and three children, crossed the plains, traveling one thousand miles to Salt Lake Valley in a wagon drawn by three yokes of cattle, the trip lasting all summer. They arrived in the valley in September of that year, having endured many hardships and privations consequent upon such a journey. William A. Bringhurst, during the early settlement of the country in common with the community, endured many privations and hardships caused by scarcity of food and 218 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. clothing; starvation stared them in the face, but through the mercy of the Lord they were preserved. During his boyhood days his time was spent herding cattle in the summer and attending school in the winter. His chances for obtaining an education were limited, having to labor almost continuously for the support of the family. At the age of sixteen he entered his father's shop and learned the wheelwright trade. In the spring of 1862 he entered the service of the United States as a volunteer, when a call was made by President Lincoln upon Governor Young for a company of volunteers to suppress Indian troubles east of Salt Lake, in which service he continued until the com- pany was disbanded on the 9th of August, 1862. Early in life he was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, by Apostle John Taylor. In the spring of 1866 he removed from Salt Lake City to Toquerville, Utah, a distance of 300 miles, and engaged in the mercantile business, which he still follows. On the 15th of February, 1874, he was ordained to the office of bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which office he continues to hold, presiding in the town of Toquerville. Considerable of his life has been spent upon the frontier, where continual vigilance was the price of safety from hostile bands of Indians. VI.— 1. William A. Bringhurst, Jr., b. Sept. 29, 1863; mrd.

Owing to the depreciation in the value of farm properties during the stringent times of 1820 to 1825 his property was sold, and he became landlord of the Black Bear hotel at Paoli. He removed from there about 1830 to the hotel and quarries at Howellville, Chester Valley. It was here while superintending a blasting opera- tion that, owing to a premature explosion, a rock fell upon him and crushed his right leg below the knee, resulting in its amputation. He used an artificial wooden limb the rest 234 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. of his life and he became known far and near as the "man with the wooden leg." About 1836 he moved to Philadel- phia and became landlord of the Western Market Inn, on Market street between 16th and 17th streets. The site is now occupied by the freight depot of the Pennsylvania R. R. This stand was widely and favorably known to the farmers and market men of the adjacent counties, who were ac- customed to put up at " Beitlers " on their weekly trips to the Philadelphia markets. He continued in this business until a few years before his death, when he was succeeded by his son Daniel. He was a man of large physical propor- tions, being over six feet in height and of large frame and weight in proportion. He and his wife were adherents of the Mennonite church, and they are both buried with some of their children in the Diamond Rock Mennonite burying- ground in Chester Valley, not far from Howellville.

She was b. in Philadelphia, Pa., June 18, 1820, and died there Sept. 12, 1867. Daniel B. Beitler came to Philadelphia when a young man. He received a common school education in Chester county. His father's family was a large one and early in life he was compelled to assist his father in maintaining the family. While yet a boy he drove a six-horse team across the mountains to Pittsburg. After locating in Philadelphia he engaged in the feed business and then in the livery stable business. In 1860 he had three large stables, all in the Ninth Ward. He sold out his stables to take charge of the hotel which his father had conducted for years. This was the New Market Inn on Market street, above 16th street, a celebrated old-fashioned farmers' inn, which Daniel B. Beitler continued to run until the time of his death. It was frequented by the farmers of JOHN BEITLER. 235 Chester, Montgomery, Bucks and Delaware counties. Dur- ing the meetings of the Friends its capacity was taxed to the utmost, the inn being the headquarters of the Friends from the rural sections. Attached to the inn were extensive stables and on Market days from forty to seventy-five horses were accommodated. In those days the farmers hauled their produce to market. Early in life Daniel B. Beitler took a deep interest in politics. He was an ardent Republican. He was too old and not physically able to take part in the war of the Rebellion, but he became an active member of the Union League when that patriotic organization was formed, and gave valuable assistance in recruiting and equipping the various regiments sent to the front by it. His wife's sister was a volunteer nurse at the Cherry Street Hospital, which was located at Broad and Cherry streets, where wounded soldiers were cared for. His wife gave such assistance as her household duties permitted, but the resources of her kitchen and the services of her cooks were always at the command of her sister. Daniel B. Beitler was ever ready to assist the soldier boys, and many a large pot of coffee and many a ham and hundreds of loaves of bread found their way from his kitchen to the rendezvous of recruits in the neighborhood. On June 1, 1861, he was appointed by President Lincoln an inspector in the Custom Service and he filled this posi- tion to the time of his death, except during President John- son's term. He was a delegate to the National Republican Convention which placed General Garfield in nomination. He was for several terms a member of the Republican State Committee and for many years chairman of the Ninth Ward Republican Executive Committee. He was a great lover of sport with rod and gun and an ardent admirer of horses. For several years he owned the celebrated stallion " Brower Eclipse," whose colts were regarded as the finest in Del- aware and Chester counties. He always drove a pair of them and in the winter delighted to make trips to his relatives in Chester county. He drove his pair of bays and always took one or more of his children with him. He met 236 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. a hearty welcome everywhere, whether he visited his rela- tives or those who enjoyed his hospitality at his inn. He died in 1881 at the age of sixty-seven years. He had never accumulated a fortune, but he left his children the record of a blameless life and no man ever speaks of Daniel B. Beitler but in words of praise. His heart was tender, he was the friend of the needy and the oppressed, he strove to do his duty as a father, a husband, a friend, a neighbor and a citizen. He was known to his friends politically and so- cially and to every man, woman and boy in the old Ninth. Ward as " Uncle Dan " and this term was used as a term of endearment. His portrait appears in this volume. Meth. Ep. Children: 1. Abraham; 2. Amanda; 3. William; 4. Elsie; 5. George; 6. Lewis. V. — 1. Hon. Abraham M. Beitler, b. in Philadelphia, Pa., July 8, 1853; mrd. Julia L. Borneman, Oct. 16, 1879. Res., 1615 Poplar street, Philadelphia, Pa. Lawyer and Judge of Common Pleas Court No. 1, Philadelphia, Pa. Judge Beitler graduated from the Central High School of Philadelphia in July 1870, and entered the law office of C. Stuart Patterson. He was admitted to the bar in January 1875. In 1877 he was appointed an assistant to the City Solicitor. He continued in the law department of the City of Philadelphia, advancing by gradual promotions until 1888, he reached the position of first assistant to the then City Solicitor Charles F. Warwick, now Mayor of the city. He took part in many of the most important cases involving the city's interest during the many years he served as the city's counsel. On Oct. 1, 1891, he accepted of Mayor Edwin S. Stuart the position of Director of the Department of Public Safety, and he ably and acceptably filled this place until appointed by Governor Hastings in February 1896 to the vacancy in the Court of Common Pleas No. 1, caused by the death of Judge Allison. In the follow ing summer he was unanimously nominated for the full term of ten years by both the Democratic and Republican conventions and received at the polls every vote cast, the official count showing that he had received 228,311 votes — more than were cast for any of his colleagues on the ticket,.

He was born in Gwynnedd, Mont- gomery Co., Pa., Oct. 13, 1813; d. in Philadelphia, Jan. 19, 1886. He began business as a wheelwright in Howellville, Chester Co., in 1835, and in 1847 moved with his family to West Philadelphia, where he engaged in carriage and wagon building. To the latter branch of the business he gave his attention mostly and was successful in building up a first-class trade. In 1879 he received a bronze medal from the Agricultural and Industrial Society of Delaware county for the best specimen of a milk wagon, and another the same year for an express wagon from the same society. It 1880 he received a bronze medal from the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society for a light milk wagon. He re- tired from business in 1884. He was buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery, Philadelphia.

Res., Newark, N. J. Major Garner graduated from the Philadelphia High School in 1858, and shortly afterwards became connected with the dry goods commission business in that city. In 1862 he enlisted as a private soldier in the Fifteenth Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, and served until the close of the war in the department of the Cumber- land and the military division of the Mississippi under Generals Rosencrans, Thomas, Grant and Sherman. The JOHN BEITLER. 239 fact that he was successively promoted to the oflBces of first sergeant, captain and major of his regiment is suflacient testimony as to the quality of his service to the country. After the close of the war he was for some two years engaged in commercial analysis and metallurgy in Philadel- phia, and in 1867 went to South America in connection with the gold mining operations of Venezuela in Guiana in that portion of the country which recently caused the territorial dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain, and came so near to involving this country in a war with the latter country during Mr. Cleveland's administration. In 1869 he returned to the United States, and in the following year entered the railway service in the construction of the Kan- sas-Pacific Railway from Carson to Denver, Colorado. He remained with that company until 1875, when he was ap- pointed general superintendent of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway at Sedalia, Mo. In 1880 he became purchas- ing agent of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway at Denver, and retained this position until offered a position with Murphy & Co., varnish makers, whose services he entered in January 1884. With this company he is still identified, representing it in the membership of the New York Paint, Oil and Varnish Club, of which organization he has twice been president. In October 1897, Major Garner was elected president of the National Paint, Oil and Varnish Associa- tion, and he is one of the most highly respected and most popular gentlemen connected with the association. He is also a member of the New York Commandery Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. Baptists. No children. V. — 2. Henry Garner, b. June 7, 1839, in Howellville, Chester Co., Pa. He was educated in the public schools of Philadelphia. He entered mercantile life in 1852, and held various positions until 1860, when he became agent for a manufacturing firm of Philadelphia. He was in hearty sympathy with the Republican campaign of 1860, and cast his maiden presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln. After the election in November he traveled westward and south- 240 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. ward on business, stopping at the principal cities on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers until he reached New Orleans, in which city he was prosecuting his business when the war of the Rebellion broke out in 1861. Believing it would be profitable for him to remain he continued there in business until by force of circumstances he was compelled to enlist in the Louisiana State militia for three months service in the borders of the State, at the termination of which he expected to resume business. In this, however, he was disappointed, for at the end of their enlistment the militia- men were transferred, " nolens volens," into the regular Confederate army and pushed to the front in time to par- ticipate in the battle of Corinth or Pittsburg Landing. After this battle he was changed to the trans-Mississippi department and to the artillery service, where he took part in all the battles of the famous Red River and other cam- paigns under the rebel General Zachary Taylor. The close of the war found him very much broken in health. He resumed business in New Orleans, but in 1868 he was com- pelled by severe hemorrhages of his lungs to quit business and hasten north. Upon reaching Philadelphia his health rallied. He became associated with his father in the wagon business and continued until 1876, when with broken health he was ordered by his physician to Florida, where in a few weeks he died, on March 14, in the town of Palatka. His remains were brought home and interred in the family plot at Mount Moriah cemetery. At the time of his death he was a member of Mantua Baptist church of West Philadelphia. V. — 3. Rev. Harrison Brower Garner, b. in Howellville, Tredyffrin Twp„ Chester Co., Pa., Sept. 16, 1840. He re- ceived his early education in the public schools of Philadel- phia. In his thirteenth year — Mar. 4, 1853 — he entered the dry goods establishment of L. J. Levy &. Co., at that time the largest and most fashionable store in the city. In 1858 he was converted and united with the First Baptist church, (West) Philadelphia, now the Epiphany. In the fall of 1859 he went to Lewisburg, Pa., to enter upon a course of study preparatory to entering the ministery. He was graduated in 1865 from the University at Lewisburg, now the Bucknell CHARLES C. RITER. (See page liGo. ) JOHN BEITLER. 241 University, and received the degre of "A. B." In 1867 he completed a course in theology at the same institution, and also received the degree of 'A, M." from the college. Dur- ing his course of studies, which was contemporary with the Civil war, from 1861 to 1865, he responded twice to the call of the President for emergency troops, and enlisted first in September 1862 in a regiment of militia raised in Philadel- phia for service during the Antietam campaign. The regi- ment was sent to Wilmington, Delaware, and guarded Dupont's powder mill until after the battle, when the troops were returned and the regiment disbanded. Again in June 1863, at the call of the President for troops during the Get- tysburg campaign, in company with the students at Lewis- burg, who volunteered as a body and were organized at Harrisburg, Pa., into Co. A, 28th Regt., Pennsylvania militia, Col. James Chamberlain in command, and were duly sworn into the United States service during the emergency. From this service he received an honorable discharge, dated July 27, 1863, at Harrisburg, Pa. Aug. 2, 1864, he was appointed a delegate of the United States Christian Commission and was sent to the hospitals at Fort Monroe and City Point, Va., where for six weeks he did duty ministering to the sick and wounded soldiers. In September 1867 he was ordained to the gospel ministry and became pastor of the First Bap- tist church of Honesdale, Wayne Co., Pa. On Sept. 1, 1871, he resigned the pastorate of the church and entered upon missionary work in the county for the Wayne Baptist Asso- ciation. This relation was terminated Aug. 1, 1872. He then became associated with the firm of Smith, English & Co., theological book publishers, at 710 Arch street, Phila- delphia. He remained here until Aug. 1, 1878, when he accepted the call to the Calvary Baptist church of Hope- well, New Jersey. He resigned this connection in Septem- ber 1882 to assume charge of the theological publishing and book business at 710 Arch St., Philadelphia. The busi- ness was closed out in November 1886, when he was called to the pastorate of the Great Valley Baptist church, Chester Co., Pa. He entered upon his duties Jan. 1, 1887, and served the church until Apr. 1, 1893. For the three following 17 242 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. months he represented the Pennsylvania Baptist Educa- tional Society among the churches in the northeastern part of the State. On Oct. 1, 1893, he became identified with the mission enterprise of the Memorial Baptist church of Phila- delphia. The mission was located at 18th and York streets and is now the Bethlehem Baptist church. He labored with this interest until Dec. 1, 1895, when he was called to the pastorate of the First Baptist church, Downingtown, Pa., which relation he continued to hold until April 1, 1900, when he retired from the pastorate, and was appointed field secretary of the society for providing religious litera- ture for the blind, headquarters in Philadelphia. He re- signed his connection with this society on April 1, 1902, and became pastor of the Cold Point Baptist church of Montgomery Co., Pa., which relation continues to the pres- ent time. Mr. Garner was married on Mar. 12, 1868, to Miss Annie L. Evans, daughter of David and Mary Rowland Evans, formerly of New Britain, Bucks Co., Pa., then of Lewisburg, Pa. Miss Evans was born at New Britain on Oct. 20, 1845. Children: 1. Mary; 2. Henry; 3. Rowland; 4. Albert. VI. — 1. Mary Garner, b. July 13, 1869; mrd. Joseph Henry Tudor, Aug. 7, 1903. P.

At Bucknell he was active in athletics, being both on the university baseball team and JOHN BEITLER. 243 also for two years on the football team. He was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsllon College Fraternity and of the Phi Alpha Gamma Medical Fraternity of Hahnneman. V. — 4. Mary Frances Garner, b. Jan. 17, 1842; d. Nov. 10, 1892, She graduated from the Girls' Normal School of Philadelphia in 1858 and received appointment as a teacher in the fall of the same year. In 1859 she became an assistant teacher in the Newton Girls' Grammar School and continued there until 1869, when she resigned to assume the principalship of the Belmont Girls' Grammar School, which was just organized. Early in 1873 she resigned her position to assume duties at home. At this time, under date of Feb. 24, 1873, she received from the school board of the 24th section of Philadelphia the following testimonial: " Whereas, Miss Mary F. Garner, principal of the Bel- mont Girls' Grammar School, is about to retire from the position she has so ably filled for the last four years, and as we feel we cannot part from her without acknowledging in the highest terms our appreciation of her labors among us; therefore, be it " Resolved, That the thanks of the board are due and are hereby tendered to Miss Mary F. Garner for the able and efficient manner in which she has conducted and ad- vanced the interests of the Belmont Grammar School from its opening to the present time. " That in our judgment it is to her energy and zealous discharge of duty that said school owes its present high position in the estimation of the board of public education and the citizens of this section. " That we extend to her the acknowledgment of our appreciation of her abilities as a teacher and her character as a lady; and that we sincerely hope that her future career may be as prosperous and happy as her past has been use- ful and successful." Miss Garner was reappointed to this position in 1875 and continued a most important factor in the further development of the usefulness of the school until in 1883, when she resigned to take charge of the Levering Con- ? 244 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. solidated Grammar School of Roxborough, Philadelphia. In closing her duties at this time she received the following token of esteem from the board of directors: " At a meeting of the board of directors of the 24th section held June 25, 1883, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: " Whereas, Miss Mary F, Garner has resigned the prin- cipalship of the Belmont Grammar School for Girls to as- sume the duties of principal of the Levering Consolidated School, 21st section; therefore, be it " Resolved, That it is with deep and sincere regret that we accept her resignation, and that in parting with her we lose a lady of refinement and culture, eminently fitted for the elevated position she has held for so many years. " Resolved, That we feel that she has been faithful in the discharge of the many and arduous duties committed to her care, and that our best wishes accompany her in her new field of labor. "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be tendered her as an expression of our appreciation of her ability and valuable services." Miss Garner entered upon her new position with marked zeal and energy and was most successful in raising the standard of the school and in promoting its efficiency and usefulness. In the spring of 1886 she passed a successful examina- tion for a supervising principalship, but her state of health prevented her from accepting a position. On October 1st of the same year, owing to marked in- dications of failing health, she was compelled to resign from her school duties at Roxborough, very much to the regret of her associates and the board of directors. She immediately repaired to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where for three years she sought to recuperate her declining energies. In the summer of 1889 she returned to Philadel- phia, where the struggle for life continued until Nov. 10, 1892, when she received her promotion to the Higher School beyond. JOHN BEITLER. 245 She became a member of the First Baptist church of West Philadelphia (now the Epiphany) in 1859, under the ministry of the Rev. J. Harvard Castle, D. D. For a num- ber of years she was active as a Sunday school teacher, in which sphere she labored with characteristic zeal and devotion. In the year 1875 she united with the Mantua Baptist church, the Rev. J. G. Walker, D. D., pastor, and in 1883 was made associate superintendent of the Sunday school. At the time of her death she was an esteemed member of the Roxborough Baptist church, of which the Rev. J, E. Wilmarth, D. D., was pastor. This sketch gives an adequate estimate of this noble Christian character, which for more than twenty-five years made its impress for good upon the lives of scores and hundreds of the youths of Philadelphia, who came under her instruction and her example.

Elizabeth Grover Furey, June 2, 1859. She was b. in Ireland, Apr. 24, 1834. David Beitler moved to Philadelphia when a young man. He was a man of fine physique, of very pleasant man- ners and of more than ordinary capacity. On the 4th of May, 1858, he was elected an alderman in the Ninth Ward. The next month he was appointed committing magistrate at the Central station by Mayor Henry. He was continued in that position under Mayor Henry and under Mayor McMichael until the expiration of the latter's term in 1869. Mayor Fox, a Democrat, then came into office. Alderman Beitler was a Republican of exceedingly strong political bias and while he never allowed politics to control the dis- charge of his oflicial duties he refused to serve under a Democratic mayor. In 1872 William S. Stokley was elected on the Republican ticket and he at once reappointed Alder- man Beitler as committing magistrate. The committing magistrate is the representative of the mayor in the dis- charge of judicial duty at the Central police court. His duties are onerous and responsible. Alderman Beitler was recognized as one of the best committing magistrates Phila- delphia ever had. He served under every Republican mayor from the time of his election as alderman in 1858 until the time of his death. He died in commission, having been elected and re-elected by the people of his ward con- tinuously from 1858 to 1875. He was elected, too, in a ward in which the political parties were very evening divided, but his vote was always far in excess of that of his ticket. His judgment was so good and his knowledge of the law so much respected and valued that the leading lawyers in the city took to his court their important cases. He was a member of the Union League, having joined that patriotic organization at its foundation. He was a father kind and indulgent, as a friend steadfast, generous and true, and as an official fearless, intelligent and upright. He died beloved by his family id friends and respected by REV.

Jan. 4, 1816; d. Apr. 3, 1895. Eleanor Beitler Lewis was the belle of the neighbor- hood, and at the time of her marriage her father presented her with $1,000 and a chaise. The following was published in the West Chester newspaper, Apr. 1841: "Died in East Nantmeal, on the evening of the 26th ult., Eleanor, consort of Jesse E. Philips, in the twenty-sixth year of her age." **In recurring to the death of this amiable and interesting young woman, the mind is burdened with more than an ordinary degree of sorrow. To look at the transition we are about to record, strongly admonishes us that she was but mortal, the inhabitant of sublunary tenement, hastily va- cated and abandoned to the consuming caprice of progress- ive time. But while we are conscious she was but a creature of the dust, the responsible sphere she seemed called to occupy in life gave a delusive promise that she would long be permitted to remain an inmate of the earthly tabernacle. The mother of two children, the elder just ap- proaching that age in life when the maternal precepts and example point with a vivid and enduring effect to the future destiny of the child, the other but an infant, requiring all the solicitude and tenderness of an anxious mother to nourish and rescue from the paralyzing hand of disease. While she will be greatly lamented because of the helpless situation of her babes, her loss will be felt by the rising and adult world, for that modest benignity that character- ized her whole life. To her afflicted companion her demise was a source of unmitigated sorrow, which nevertheless 251 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. was submitted to with decent forbearance and pious resig- nation. To her various relations and acquaintances at large her transmutation will be sensibly felt and painfully ap- preciated. But while the soul is in anguish for the loss of our valued friend, it might be profitable to remember that the decree was conceived by Infinite Wisdom and executed by the arm of Omnipotence, and that the hand that was never slow to administer at the shrine of hu- manity, has ceased to perform its errand of mercy only that the spirit that prompted it might hasten to a full fruition of that celestial joy that a perfect faith in the saving power of a crucified Redeemer and a devout and Christian life, had ensured for her a ' joy unspeakable and full of glory'." She was reconciled to God through Jesus Christ and had a blessed hope of an acceptance in heaven. Her last words were: "Sweet Jesus! Dear Lord, take me home quick! " Jesse Evans Philips was treasurer of Chester Co., Pa., in 1874. He was proprietor and conductor of Fremont Academy at his home in East Nantmeal from 1847 to 1858. He was also a surveyor and employed by the government to do such work in the South. Was one of the three Philips brothers who have for upwards of fifty years officiated con- secutively as clerks for East Nantmeal Baptist Church. He was also a justice of the peace in East Nantmeal. He was a lineal descendant of Joseph Philips, born in Wales in 1716 at Pembrokeshire. In 1755 he sailed for America from the seaport town of Pembroke, accompanied by his wife, Mary, b. 1710, and their three sons, David, John and Josiah, The youngest son, Joseph, was born in this country. At the time of the Revolution these four sons took the side of the Colonies and commanded the 7th bat- talion, 2d company, Chester county militia, as follows: Captain, David Philips; first lieutenant, John Philips; second lieutenant, Josiah Philips; ensign, Joseph Philips. Commissioned May 5, 1777. Jesse Evans Philips was a grandson of Lieut, Josiah JOHN BEITLER. 255 Philips and his wife, Sarah Thomas*. Baptists. Children: 1. Rachel; 2. Annie. V. — 1.

Owen Thomas came to America and was the fourth pastor of the Welsh Tract in New Castle Co. He removed to Vincent in May 1748, and died there in 1760. He had two sons, one of whom, David (the father of Sarah), was a captain in the French and Indian war. The marble slab over the remains of Rev. Owen Thomas in the Vincent burial-ground contains the following inscription : " Here lies the body of the Rev. Owen Thomas, who departed this life Nov. 12, 1760, in the 69th year of his age. " In yonder house I spent my breath, "And now lie slumbering here in death; " Those lips shall wake, and then declare, "Amen! to truths they published there." * His paternal grandparents are Nicholas Guilbert, a native of Guernsey, and Charlotte Marsh Guilbert, a native of England, both coming to America in their youth and residing since in Philadelphia. 256 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.

Her funeral was largely attended, as she was well and very favorably known, having taught school for a number of years. The floral tributes were very large and handsome. The principal piece was a de- sign, " Gates Ajar," presented by the pupils of Montrose Sunday School, of which she was the mainstay. As she was very active in Sunday school work, her loss will be deeply felt by the scholars. Funeral services were con- ducted by Rev. R. C. Wood, assisted by Rev. H. B. Garner and Rev. Mr. Keelor.

She was b. at Geddes, N. Y., Nov. 29, 1831; d. Oct. 2, 1886, aged fifty-four years, ten months, four days. Henry Beidler passed his boyhood and early manhood on the farm, re- ceiving a good common school education and laying the foundation of his financial success. It was here that he earned his first thousand dollars, a fact to which he pointed with pardonable pride. In the spring of 1843, attracted by the superior inducements offered in the West to young men of enterprise and thrift, he removed to the then sparsely settled State of Illinois, and located at Springfield in the grocery trade. After five years of success in this business, he, in 1848, removed to Chicago, and engaged in the lumber business in partnership with his brother, Jacob Beidler, who was then in business there. In 1855 Mr. Beidler went to Muskegon, Mich., and took charge of the manufacturing branch of the business there, his brother continuing in charge of the Chicago branch. The business rapidly increased, and, under his careful management, brought to its promoters large returns, so that in 1876 the subject of this sketch was enabled to retire from active participation in the business, with an ample competence. At that time he returned to Chicago, where he made his residence permanent, and retained an interest in the busi- ness for several years, when the firm was dissolved by mutual consent. 21 306 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. After retiring from active business, Mr. Beidler spent much of his time in travel throughout all parts of his native land, and also visited some foreign lands. During his travels he collected a great variety of curiosities, con- sisting of rare shells, precious stones, etc., v/hich he preserved in a handsome cabinet at his home. Throughout his life Mr. Beidler was known for his business in- tegrity and firm adherence to the strict principles of justice and equity, so that wherever known, his word was regarded as good as his bond. He was a man of generous impulses, cheerful, genial, benevolent and charitable. His political sentiments were Republican, though he never took any part in political matters, more than to per- form his duties as a citizen. Mr. Beidler held broad and liberal views on religious questions, and, with his family, was identified with the "People's Church," under the pastoral care of H, W. Thomas, D. D. Mrs. Beidler was a woman of many noble qualities, a fond and devoted wife and mother, and by her kindness and goodness of heart, her charities, and purity of life, endeared herself to a large circle of friends.

He went with his parents to Muskegon, Mich., where they resided until the fall of 1876, when the family returned to Chicago, and where he has resided ever since, until the last few years, which have been spent at Williams Bay, Wal- worth Co., Wis. Mr. Beidler was educated in the public schools at Muskegon, Mich., and Chicago, 111., graduating from the High School of Chicago. He then went to Greylock Institute, So. Williamstown, Mass. After that he finished his education at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. He then spent about three months in travel in the West, going as far as the Pacific Coast. On his return from the West, he began work as draughtsman in a manufacturing concern, and finally became vice-president of the same company. Later this company dissolved and a new one was formed in the same line of business. He became JACOB BEIDLER, 1750—1781. 307 president of this company, and so continued until he sold out in 1895, since which time he has not been in any active business. No children. IV.— 5. Nathan C.

Dr. Reuben High Andrews, only child of Aaron and Barbara Andrews, was born in Hilltown Twp., Bucks Co., Pa., Jan. 20, 1850. His father was for some years a " boss " carpenter and later on purchased a small tract of land along a creek in Hilltown township, near the site of an old saw- mill, about a mile west of Dublin. Here he erected a dwell- ing and a grist mill; the family living there until the father died. After the death of his father, Reuben went to live with his Grandfather Andrews, in Marlborough township, Mont- gomery county, but in less than two years his grandfather also died, and his mother about this time was married again, to Henry S. Krout, a farmer of Bedminster Twp., Bucks Co. There Reuben worked on the farm, attending the district school during the winter months. When about eighteen years of age he went for a short time to a school, then known as the Excelsior Normal Institute, at Carversville, with the object of preparing for teaching. He taught his first term of public school at what was then known as Upper Sellersville School. After this he attended for a term the Keystone State Normal School, at Kutztown. This was 310 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. followed by another term of teaching, this time his own district school in Bedminster township. About the same time he commenced to study medicine under the tutorship of the family physician, Dr. Moses Rice, of Hagersville. While Mr. Andrews was a substitute teacher in New Britain township. Dr. Rice was taken ill and died. Afterwards he studied with Dr. J. H. Krause, of Plumsteadville. Having entered the medical department of the University of Penn- sylvania, he graduated in the spring of 1874, and at once entered upon the duties of his chosen profession at Kulps- ville, Montgomery county, where he soon gained a liberal patronage. In the fall of 1875 he married Mary M., daughter of Nathan Beidler, of Bedminster, Bucks county. In the spring of 1876 he moved to Lansdale, Montgomery county, where he purchased a lot and erected a dwelling. While here engaged in the active duties of his profession, he con- ceived the idea of publishing a monthly medical journal, " The Medical Summary," the first number of which was issued in March 1879. In the early part of 1881 he bought a half interest in the local weekly newspaper, " The Lans- dale Reporter," and during the same year erected a building on Main street, as a home and office for the newspaper and printing establishment. In the spring of 1884, on account of failing health and rapidly increasing duties professionally and with the medi- cal journal, he sold his practice and dwelling to Dr. Samuel Seese. He at once bought a property in Philadelphia, where he moved and lived for a year, when he sold it and moved back to Lansdale, having before purchased a lot adjoining his former home, and on this lot he now built one of the finest residences in that section at the time. About the same time he purchased the other half interest in the Reporter and printing business, which business was con- ducted by himself for about a year, when he sold it. Shortly afterward he again moved to Philadelphia, where he since devotes almost his entire time to the medical journal, doing only a select practice. A few years ago he purchased No. 2321 Park Ave., where he now resides. For the past nine years no edition of the Medical Summary has been less than JACOB BEIDLER, 1750—1781. 311 10,000 copies. It is a national journal and circulates in every section of the country. Never seeking public oflEice, he was, however, elected a member of Lansdale Borough Council for three consecutive terms, being chosen president of that body for two terms. At the time of his removal to Philadelphia he was a member of the School Board. Baptists. Children: 1. Lotta; 2. Florence; 3. Beatrice; 4. Russel. VI.— 1. Lotta Grace Andrews, b. Feb. 24, 1877.

Jacob Beidler was born in Bedminster Twp., Bucks Co., Pa., Dec. 20, 1815. Brought up on a farm among a people with whom frugality, unceasing industry and thrift were foundation principles, little time that could be utilized for working was allowed to be otherwise occupied. In winter the children attended the country school, running home quickly when the sessions ended to look after the animals and do the chores, but in the summer months there was no school. The children were then needed to help on the farm. At one time, the children of the neigh- borhood were sent to Sunday school, but the rumor that a Sunday school advocate was about to introduce a bill in the legislature to compel attendance, excited a feeling of opposition to Sunday schools and the children were kept at home, going to Mennonite meeting in the morning, but otherwise having no religious exercises. Few books were found in the home, but a newspaper came weekly, being taken jointly with another family in the neighborhood. Hospitality in certain forms was universal. Not to be able to furnish a bountiful meal on short notice to a wagonload of unexpected guests would have been a con- fession of incapability on the part of any housekeeper. With chickens in the barnyard, rows of pies in the spring- house or cellar, jelly and preserves in the storeroom, milk and eggs at their disposal, guests and hostess working together would soon provide a feast. Even to peddlers and tramps the region was known as a section where they would be well housed and well fed. As the father was farmer, carpenter, cabinetmaker, legal adviser for neighbors and, on a small scale, capitalist, there could easily be found enough work to keep the chil- dren of the family busy. That each boy should be given a trade was a principle of the fathers, and Jacob Beidler learned to be a carpenter. The story of a good sized farm house built by him and his cousin, hewed from the trees, painted and made complete for $115 and board, was one of the favorite tales, in later years, of the builder. One winter, after having worked during the summer months, feeling the need of more education, he entered a 314 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. boarding school, but the sudden change from active outdoor life to quiet indoor occupation did not agree with him and he had to leave school, to be doctored at home. The stories of the great West, however, penetrated into this secluded place and Jacob Beidler decided in 1842 to try his fortune in a new country. Going to Pittsburg he took the boat down the Ohio river to Cairo. From there he went to St. Louis and on to Springfield, 111. With rigid ideas of morality, fixed habits of calculating frugality, accustomed to hard work and application to tasks on hand, this tall, bony, rosy cheeked young countryman started out to see if his dream of worldly success — to be some time worth $20,000 — could be made real to him in this Western State. He felt that he was ignorant, felt that strangers would think him unsophisticated, but the strenuous life which was the common lot of all his asso- ciates had prepared him to maintain his own, even though he should be the subject of comment and laughter. In Springfield he at first worked at his trade and then embarked in the grocery business. In the spring of 1844 he went East, and was married, April 22, to Miss Mary Ann Funk. She was the daughter of Jacob and Margaret Halde- man Funk and was born in Hilltown Twp., Bucks Co., Pa., Oct. 5, 1821. When about seven years of age she and her younger sister Catharine were left motherless. Later the father married again and a family of little children came to fill the home. In helping to care for them she had much to do. At that time a short period of schooling was thought to be sufficient for a girl. Only reading, writing, arithmetic and sewing were taught. Domestic science, though not bearing then so pretentious a name, knitting and spinning were taught and practiced at home. This young wife was well fitted to bear her share in the work of the home and returned with her husband to begin her married life among strangers in Springfield, 111. But within a few months the desire of her husband to go to Chicago had settled into a determination, and in the fall of 1844, after packing their personal possessions, including the household linen, of which every well-endowed Bucks county maiden had a JACOB BEIDLER, 1750—1781. 315 goodly store, the young couple started on the trying trip from Springfield to Chicago. A rainy season had made the roads so bad that again and again the team had to be extricated from the mud and the wife was in despair lest the new venture would be ended by death on the prairies. But after days of discouragement the city of Chicago was reached, and Jacob Beidler found employment as a car- penter, working for Van Osdel Bros. & Thorp. A little home was established, where the hard working, careful housewife early and late worked and planned to make every dollar that came in, go as far as possible in providing for present absolute necessities and in savings for future needs or capital. The little fortune that she had brought with her, as well as the capital that her husband had, were not any too well invested, but to have encroached on either for daily living would have been contrary to all rules and habits, so labor and privation continued. Sickness and the loss of two children as tiny infants told on the hopefulness of the mother, but the restless energy of Jacob Beidler was ever looking out for opportunities of bettering his fortune. In 1845 a little carpenter shop was established in con- nection with James McGee, under the firm name of Beidler & McGee. In 1846 Mr. Beidler bought out his partner and in 1847 opened a lumber yard at the northeast corner of West Water and Randolph streets. In 1848 he was joined by his brother Henry from Springfield, 111., and in 1850 the shop connected with the lumber yard was sold out to James Lyon. In 1854 it was decided to manufacture lumber at Muskegon, Mich., and Mr. A. F. Hathaway was admitted to the firm, which became J. Beidler & Bro. & Co. Later an- other brother, Aaron Beidler, was admitted, the firm name continuing as before. In 1856 Aaron Beidler and A. F. Hathaway retired and M. J. Brown and R. P. Eastman were admitted. In 1860 they withdrew and the firm became J. Beidler & Bro., Chicago, 111., and J. & H. Beidler, Muskegon, Mich., under which name the business was con- ducted until 1871, when the J. Beidler & Bro. Lumber Co., an Illinois corporation, for the Chicago business, with Jacob 316 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. Beidler president, M. F. Rittenhouse treasurer and A. F. Beidler secretary, and the Beidler Manufacturing Co., a Michigan corporation, for the Muskegon business, with Henry Beidler president and J. D. Follmer secretary and treasurer, were organized. The Beidler Manufacturing Co. continued in business until 1886 and the J. Beidler & Bro. Lumber Co. until April 1891. In 1861 Mr. Beidler started John F. Funk and James McMullen in the lumber business, under the firm name of McMullen, Funk & Co. This firm continued until 1866. In 1866 Jacob and Henry Beidler started B. L. Anderson in the lumber business, under the firm name of B. L. Ander- son & Co., and this firm was in business until May 1868. In 1873 the South Branch Lumber Co. of Chicago, an Illinois corporation, was organized, with Jacob Beidler president, B. F. Ferguson treasurer, and Francis Beidler secretary, and continued in business until May 1, 1893. In May 1886 the Eastern Lumber Co., an Illinois cor- poration, operating at Tonawanda, N. Y., was organized. Jacob Beidler was president until his death. Several Chicago business men, among whom were Mr. Perry Hannah, Mr. John F. Funk, Mr. B. L. Anderson, Mr, John Oliver, Mr. P. L. Auten and Mr. M. F. Rittenhouse, have commenced their business careers in the employ of Mr. Beidler, and in the success of these different young men he always took great satisfaction, although claiming from them no obligation except as he said, "good will which we owe each other." During these years, which, with a few exceptions, were prosperous financially, several changes of residence had been made. For a while they lived over the shop. Homes on South Water and North Wells streets were followed in 1856 by one more to the outskirts of the West Side. A house was purchased on Morgan street near Washington street, and the next year a house that was very satisfactory to Mrs. Beidler was built next door and into this the family of four children was moved. In 1862 the parents and six children moved into the Lind house on the northeast corner JACOB BEIDLER, 1750—1781. 317 of Morgan and Washington streets, where the youngest of the six sons was born in 1864. The Third Presbyterian Church was in the neighbor- hood of these homes, and Mr. Beidler, who had united with the First Presbyterian Church some years before, grew much interested in the Third Church. The large stone edifice which the society built, left it deeply in debt and in the struggle in which this involved them Mr. Beidler under the pastorate of Rev. Arthur Swazey, D. D., with three or four others, stood foremost in being ready to give time, effort and money that the work and the credit of the church might not suffer. He believed that the same prin- ciples of economy and honesty that govern creditable com- mercial transactions should govern the financial manage- ment of religious organizations. As treasurer of the trustees he preferred to advance from his own means the money needed to pay bills for running expenses rather than leave the bills unpaid. When the Third Church in 1877 voted to sell the building and move further west, being opposed to the plan, he changed to the Eighth Presbyterian Church, then under the pastorate of Dr. J. M. Worrall, and by his efforts and gifts helped to free it from debt. He then directed his efforts in behalf of the Jefferson Park Presbyterian Church, which was nearer his home and under the charge of Dr. Francis L. Patton. Mr. Beidler and his wife were members of this church and he a trustee at the time of his death. He was interested in the Pres- byterian Hospital and a trustee of Lake Forest University, a chair in which he endowed. He gave his aid toward providing a home for the Y. M. C. A. of the West Side and toward the regular objects of church benevolence he was always a contributor. Though never active in politics, he entered the City Council at the time of the Reform Ticket in 1876 and served two terms. He belonged to the Republican party. Building was ever his hobby, and in the large buildings which he erected for manufacturing and warehouse pur- poses on West Washington boulevard, he took great pride. He moved in 1873 into the Gardner house on South 318 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. Sangamon street. The family then consisted of six sons and one daughter. Marriage and death entered the circle, so that in March 1898, when he died, there were left in the home but the wife and two unmarried sons. One son — John — was drowned in 1881, and another son — William H. — had died six months before his father. The married daughter lived in a house built by her father on the homestead grounds and two married sons resided in the city. Though no sickness that could be called sickness troubled the last years of Mr, Beidler's life, he ceased his hold on business and an active life, and gradually his memory grew dim. Perhaps he himself, although never acknowledging the fact, was conscious of this, for he took less and less part in conversation, lost his former sense of mortification in being found asleep during the hours of the day, and failed to recognize many whose faces had once been familiar to him. From Thursday morning, March 10, 1898, he remained in bed, protesting at first against it to the nurse, who had been his faithful attendant for six months. Two days later he became unconscious and on Tuesday morning, March 15, 1898, at about 2 o'clock, the spirit took its flight. On March 17th the body was laid in Rosehill Cemetery in the lot where already his two sons and two grandsons had been buried. The funeral services were conducted at the house by the Rev. Frank DeWitt Talmage, pastor of the Jefferson Park Presbyterian Church; Dr. D. C. Marquis, of McCormick Theological Seminary, and Rev. J. G. K. McClure, of Lake Forest University, The old home was still kept up after the death of Mr. Beidler, for Mrs. Beidler felt that no other house could be home to her and with Mr. Beidler's former nurse as com- panion and her two youngest sons, she lived there for nearly two years, reluctantly as her strength failed relinquishing little by little her close supervision of domestic matters. She never realized the wish of her later years to visit once again the scenes and friends of her early days, for the infirmities of age prevented, but in the last week of her life the names and incidents of long years JACOB BEIDLER, 1750—1781. 319 before seemed to fill her mind. After less than a week's confinement to bed, during the last days of which she was unconscious, she passed away on Thursday, at 8 p. m., Jan. 25, 1900. The oldest of a large family of children, a young wife in a new country, the mother of a large family, the help- meet of her husband in providing for the future of those children, she led a busy life, full of work, care and anxiety. No one knows as do those children how much of her hus- band's financial success and home comfort were due to this little woman whom strangers thought so frail. Children: 1. Joseph; 2. Infant; 3.

Christian Beitier Branch. — Descendants of Christian Beitler (born 1754, died 1827) and Susanna Shelly. II. — 7. Christian Beitler, b. Aug. 9, 1754; d. June 25, 1827; mrd. Susanna Shelly, daughter of Jacob Shelly. He was a farmer and " sawmiller," and inherited the old Beitler homestead in Lower Milford Twp., Bucks Co., Pa., from his father, where he lived and died. The homestead consisted of two messuages and two tracts of land in said township, containing fifty acres, and seventy acres and 111 perches, respectively, which Jacob Beitler had by articles of agree- ment, dated May 1, 1801, agreed to convey to his son, Christian Beitler, and by his will, dated May 2, 1801, directed his executors therein named to convey to his son Christian. In 1812 Christian Beitler purchased of Henry Shelly a tract of three acres and fiftj^-seven perches adjoin- ing. Christian Beitler died June 25, 1827, and letters of administration on his estate were granted July 16, 1827, to Henry Fretz, his son-in-law, the widow Susanna having renounced. April 28, 1828, Henry Fretz, of New Britain township, petitioned for inquest of the above real estate. His petition sets forth that Christian Beitler died intestate, survived by a widow and three children: Elizabeth, wife of Henry Fretz (the petitioner) ; Nancy, wife of Abraham Moyer, and Mary Beitler. The property, as returned by a recent survey, was found to contain 132 acres and 80 perches. The heirs neglecting to accept it at the valuation placed thereon ($37.50 per acre), it was sold after considerable delay, in November 1829, to Abraham Moyer for $36.75 per acre. The deed therefor from Henry Fretz, administrator of Christian Beitler, deceased, to Abraham Moyer is dated Apr. 1, 1830, CHRISTIAN BEITLER. 325 recorded in Deed Book No. 66, page 401, at Doylestown, Pa.

He was a son of Mark Fretz, of New Britain, Bucks county, and grandson of Pioneer John Fretz, of Bedminster, Pa.

He was a farmer and inherited the old (Detweiler) homestead in Franconia township, Montgomery county, with 100 acres, from his father. The old homestead in the time of his father was a large log cabin that was built before the Revolutionary war. It was used as a meeting house before the Franconia meeting house was built. In 1855 Mr. Moyer sold the homestead farm, and a year later removed to Germantown, Pa., where he engaged in the grain and feed business. In 1859 he removed to North Wales, Pa., where he continued in business up to the time of his death. Mennonites. Children: 1. Eliza; 2. Henry; 3. William; 4. Susan. 326 THE BEIDLER HISTORY. v.— 1.
