a z cc en N Historical AND Pictorial Lititz With Numerous Illustrations s.^.^. PUBLISHERS EXPRESS PRINTING COMPANY LlTlTZ. PA. 6j To those who have gone forth from Litilz and who cherish the home of their youth, and to all those who believe in our beautiful town, its interesting past, its busy present and promising 'uture, this volume is most respectfully dedicated . ti^-^viav.iu,^ PREFACE THE impression that there ought to be something in compact form con- cerning the past and present of our little town, so beautifully situated in the heart of the richest agricultural county of the nation, to con- vey to the outside world its beginning, its growth its hopeful future, existed in the mind of the writer for some years. Impression gradually devel- oped into conviction, whereof Historical and Pictorial Lititz is the result. It has been our constant endeavor to produce a truthful narrative of events of importance and general interest ; to be accurate ; to exclude everything of doubtful authenticity ; and to portray in illustration, as well as by word, historic as well as modern Lititz, its factories, its busmess places, its residences. It is to be regretted that a work of this kind did not originate from public instead of private enterprise, as the limitations of time and means were neces- sarily determining factors to a large extent. Nevertheless, recognizing its short- comings and imperfections, conscious that we have tried our best — who can do more — we hope the book will be accorded a hearty welcome. We acknowledge indebtedness for valuable assistance to A. R. Beck, archivist of the Moravian Church, Israel G. Erb, Esq., Haydn H. Tshudy, Major J. R, Bricker, L. H. Shelly, A. H. Bomberger, the business men of the town and elsewhere whose advertising patronage has made the work a safe undertaking and to all others whose contributions, suggestions and information are embodied in the book. Different histories of Lancaster County have been consulted and freely used, to which we are indebted. Great credit must be given, particularly, to "The Moravian Graveyards," by A. R. Beck, pub- lished by the Moravian Historical Society, which gives in extensive detail a sketch of the life of those buried in the Moravian graveyards of Lititz. That "Historical and Pictorial Lititz" will meet your kindly criticism and approval is the sincere wish of JOHN G. ZOOK neceinber 21, 1905.

May 14, 1759, at a common meeting of the Lititz and Warwick brethren and sisters, Spangenburg announced that henceforth the two congregations, Lititz and Warwick, would be united into one, which should bear the name of Lititz. On July 7, 1 758, the corner-stone of the Single Sisters' House was laid by Bishop Spangenburg ; and that of the Single Brethrens' House by the brethren Peter Boehler and Gottlieb Bezold, on July 4, 1 759. The new Gemeinhaus (now the parsonage) was dedicated September 18, 1763. The present church was consecrated August 1 3, 1 787.

HAGEN HE history of Lititz — religious, educational, musical, social and industrial, is inseparable from the history of the Moravian Church in Lititz. Nearly I 50 years ago, on June 1 2, 1 756, the settlement of Moravian Brethren here received the name of Lititz from Count Zinzendorf in memory of the town in Bohemia, where the newly- organized church of the Ancient Brethren's Unity found its first refuge in 1456, and henceforth the name of the Moravian con- gregation became the name of the town. The distinctive idea of the Moravian Brethren was to establish a truly spiritual Church of Jesus Christ. They held that no one could rightfully be considered a member of the church, who was not a true Christian. These early Moravian settlements were, therefore, the result of the desire to secure locations, in which the Brethren might freely and unmolestedly seek after the development of a deep spiritual life. At the same time they were to become the centers of aggressive evangelistic efforts among the unevangelized white colonists and Indians ; as well as the seats of educational institutions for the religious and secular training of their children and youth. For the purpose of fostering and supervising the spiritual life of the member- ship, Moravian congregations were divided tnto " Choirs," or classes according to age, sex and station, as early as 1 727, each "Choir" being under its own special Director, and having each year a season of covenanting and prayer. In addition to this, marked emphasis was laid upon a deeply-solemn observance of the festivals of the Church Year, of the Passion Week and of the important events in the history of the Brethren's Church, called " Memorial " or " Covenant Days." All these and other time-honored customs and services, sometimes called " Moravian Peculiarities," having in view the spiritual profit of the membership, have been observed by the Moravian Church at Lititz ever since its organization with such modifications or accomodations as the changing conditions made necessary. Even the " Lease System," or the arrangement according to which it was impossible for any but Moravians to own land in Lititz, narrow and exclusive as it may appear to many to-day, was not without its peculiar advantages in the way of spiritual culture and oversight. This [15] system being found to be impracticable any longer, was abolished in 1856. Among the important events of recent history in connection with the Moravian Congregation at Lititz, which may be added to those found else- where in this book under the caption :— " Early History of Lititz," etc., com- piled by A. R. Beck, are the following : On August 13 and 14, 1887, the Centennial of the dedication of the church was observed, a full account of which may be read in a pamphlet en- titled " Reminiscences of the Moravian Church at Lititz, Pa.," etc., by Francis P. Hart. On September 1 and 11,1 899, the Sesqui-Centennial celebration of the organization of the Congregation was held. Other matters of more or less interest, being fresh in the minds of most of the readers, need not be chronicled at this time. In the article on Lititz, written by John Beck in the "Authentic History of Lancaster County," appear the following remarks, which may well be quoted : " It is not saying too much, if we state, that it (Lititz) is probably the cleanest and neatest village in Lancaster county. The (Church) Square, around which are located the institutions, church and parsonage, is, perhaps, not surpassed in beauty by any other spot in the county ; such is its splendor in the summer season, that it frequently occurs that travelers stop in their journey to give closer examination than a mere transient notice. The church is 66 feet in length and 50 feet in depth; it is built of limestone, and has a very fine appearance ; and the mason-work in front is generally considered a masterpiece of workmanship." Space forbids more than a passing mention of the work of Sunday School in imparting Bible knowledge, and of the various Societies in their benevolent and missionary activities. During the past century no less than twenty members of the Congregation have gone out as Foreign Missionaries in stations ranging from Surinam, South America, to Alaska, North America, while many others have entered the ranks of the ministry at home. In 1787 the Congregation numbered 207 communicants; in 1887, one hundred years later, there were 380 communicants. The Congregation now has a communicant membership of 540 persons, and these together with non- communicants and children make an aggregate of 750 souls in direct connection with the church. 6] HENRY C.

[17] (Fritittij 1. S. (U)mt\} By REV. CHARLES E. HESS URING July, 1872 the Rev. Abraham Shultz, a minister of the EvangeliccJ Association and preacher-in-charge of Brownstown circuit, assisted by severd Evangelical famnilies who had pre\iously moved from his charge to Lititz, established a preaching-place in the " Round House " in W^urw^ck. EvEmgelistic meetings w^ere held during the following year by his successor, the Rev. P. Dreibelbis zind his aissistant, the Rev. C. S. BrowTi. About sixty people were converted, auid a claiss was orgzuiized consisting of about fifty members. A permanent place for worship beccime a necessity. Julius F. Sturgis, (then not a member of the class), generously tendered a lot located on East Orange street (the site of the present building) for the sum of one dollau:. On May 6 th^ officers of the organization accepted the offer and, at once proceeded to pro\ide a suitable church edifice. David R. Buch and Christian Essig were appointed as building committee. Rev. Dreibelbis died in June, thenceforth the ministerial work devolved on the junior preacher. Rev. Brown. A tvNo-story brick building was erected, but only the first story was furnished for use. The comer-stone was laid July 26, 1874. The building was dedicated November 29, 1874, and ncimed Jeruscilem Church of the Evan- gelicaJ Association. Rev. BrovsTi remained patsor until the spring of 1876. The consecutive successors each for a period of three years, were the Revs. J. M. Oplinger. Joseph Specht, B. D. Albright, A. Dilabar. A. W. Warfel and A. A. DeLong. During Rev. Dilabar's pastorate the main auditorium was finished, and a pau'sonage was built on the first lot west of the church. The church was free from debt, but a mortgage for $ 1 400 wa^ resting upon the pairsonage. The year 1 894 commemorates the transition from the Evangelical Association to the United EvangelicaJ church. The Rev. J. W. Woerhle was the pastor during the first year of the re-organization period. The Rev. A, M. Scimpsel succeeded him and remained in charge for four years. During these years the members bought their own property- from the Evangelical Association for $1950, plus the mortgage of $1400, cind accumulated interest on the mortgage amounting to $287.98. An aimex was built to the church, [18] and the parsonage was renovated at an additional cost of $2200. Then the organization was incorporated as Trinity United Evangelical church. The double payment of the properties and the improvements thereon cost the members $1 5,000. There is now no indebtedness on the properties, and the church and its Sunday School are in a flourishing condition. The Rev. I. J. Reitz became the pastor in the spring of 1699, and remained three years. The Rev. A. W. Warfel, the only pastor who served the church the second time, ministered to the worshipers for two years. The present incumbent Rev. Charles E. Hess, succeeded Rev. Warfel in March, 1904. QIl)urrl) (irganfeatinn REV. C. E. HESS DAVID R. BUCH, President NATHAN H.

Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized August 4, 1885, with 52 members, with Rev. J. Peter as pastor. The cornerstone was laid September 13, 1885, by Revs. S. Stall and John V. Eckert. The church was dedicated February 14, 1 886, Rev. Eli Huber, D. D., preaching the dedication sermon assisted by Rev. T. C. Billheimer, D. D., and the pastor, in 1 886 a good parsonage was built. The pressing need of a good Surday School chapel raised the question of a new location and, hence on June 14, 1905, the congregation authorized the church council to purchase the lot on the corner of Broad and Orange Streets. This purchase was made June 29, 1905. Rev. J. Peter, the first pastor, resigned June 1, 1886; Rev. W. H. Lewars was pastor from October 1886, to April 1889; Rev. I. W.

ROTH HE origin of the St. James Evangelical Congregation of the ministerium of PennsyWania, of the General Council is due to a number of families having moved into Lititz from the BricTcerville charge, and various other congregations of the above denomi- nations. Petitions of these families for a church home and worship of their own faith was brought before the meeting of the Lancaster Conference of the Evangelical Ministerium of Pennsylvania, of the General Council in the spring of 1903. At this meeting the Conference decided that their petition should be granted and an orgenizalion effected. The Rev. A. W. Leibersberger recei\ing a call to Salemn Evangelical Lutheran Church, at Lebanon, Pa., the above was delayed. In the spring of 1 904 the Rev. D. A. Roth having been called to the pastorate of the Briclcerville charge the members of these families organized themselves by the advice of the officers of the Conference into a society to work towards the buying of a building lot. This being accomplished the regular organization, the St. James Congregation, was effected by the President of the Lancaster Conference, in the month of July 1 905. Shortly thereafter steps were taken towards the erection of the said building to be located on the corner of Front and Cedar Streets in the Borough of Lititz. The following are the present officers or trustees : Charles Bear, Harry Neidermyer, Henry M. Zook, Lemon Neidermyer and Franklin Gantz. 21 i MnxUh ^YH\}rm OII|urrtj By REV. S. S. DAUGHERTY HE Rev. John Boughter, sent by the East Pennsylvania Con- ference of the United Brethren Church, visited Lititz in 1890 with the intention of establishing here a church of this faith. With the few United Brethren families already in Lititz as a nucleus, Rev. Boughter, on March 7, 1890 organized a Class, and started a revival in what is known as the "old brewery." The revival resulted in a number of conversions. A lot was purchased soon after on East Front Street, Warwick, and plans made for a house of worship. The cornerstone was laid September 6, 1 89 1 . During the erection of the church services were continued in the " old brewery." On December 20, 1 89 1 , the church-name, the Bishop Erb Memorial United Brethren in Christ Church was dedicated by Bishop E. B. Kephart. Rev. Boughter continued as pastor of the church until October, 1892, when he was succeeded by the Rev. C. G. F. Miller, who served the church until his death in 1899. The Presiding Elder, D. D. Lowery, appointed Rev. P. H. Bowman to the vacancy who continued as pastor for two years — until 1 90 1 . Rev. S. S. Daugherty was then assigned to the charge and has since served as pastor.

GIBBEL HE members of this denomination built a church in the Borough in 1887. It is a part of the West Conestoga District, which comprises five churches with about five hundred members. The preachers who serve the different churches are Revs. John Myers, Lititz ; Cyrus Gibbel, Brunnerville ; David Snader, Akron, and E. B. Brubaker, at Brubaker. Regular services are held bi- weekly and prayer meeting every Wednesday evening and every alternate Sabbath evening. The church building is a good sized, substantia.! frame structure, located on Willow Street and there is ample shedding to accomodate the teams of members who attend services from the surrounding country. A Sunday School is connected therewith which holds its sessions every Sabbath afternoon and has about one hundred pupils. Rev. E. B. Brubaker is superintendent. [23] HOW THE MORAVIANS FOUNDED THE FAMOUS SCHOOL— ITS HISTORY. LOCATION AND ITS BUILDINGS, BY LOUISA A. WEITZEL, REVISED BY REV. CHAS. D. KREIDER N order to give anything like a satisfactory account of Linden Hall Seminary we must begin by giving at least a sketch of the religious settlement which rendered such an institution possible, and by whose spirit it is still pervaded to a great extent. It is one of the few schools with more than a century of history of which it can well be proud. In order to begin at the beginning we must go back to the year I 743 when Count Zinzendorf, the patron of the Renewed Church of the United Brethren, or Moravians, as they are altogether known here, came to America and visited Pennsylvania, where the settlements of Bethlehem and Nazareth had already been established. George Klein, of Warwick township, was converted under the Count's preach- ing, and in 1 754 donated his whole farm of 600 acres to the Moravians. At the time the subject of establishing a new Gemeinort, or exclusive church settlement was under discussion. Zinzendorf in 1 756 gave the name of Lititz to the settlement, after the barony of Lititz in Bohemia where the infant church by permission of Podiebrad, King of Bohemia, had found a refuge from persecution in 1426, just three hundred years before. The large Gemeinhaus was completed in I 754 (the first one was built in 1 747) and the present par- sonage, was built in 1 762. For twenty-one months services were held in the Sisters' House, now known as the " castle " which was finished in October' 1760. The present church was dedicated August 13, 1787. None but members of the church were allowed to reside in the settlement and it was an ideal community. Q Q Q Not the least interesting and important institutions of this peaceful village were the Brethrens' and Sisiters' House. These were maintained for the benefit of single men and women, and cannot be likened to a convent as the S>iBttVB' inmates were neither bound by vows nor subject to penance. att& It is with the Sisters' House alone that our sketch has any ^vethrma Bouhp ■ j i ii n i ^ -^ tl connection, and hence we will contine ourselves to it. 1 tie building occupied by the sisters was the main part of the present stone structure called the " castle " corresponding in size to the Brothers' House, the present Sunday School Chapel, west of the church. Later it was enlarged by the addition of an eastern wing, also of stone. Here the sisters kept house, sub- I 24 I ordinate to the gentle sway of a " pfiegerin," or spiritual advisor, and a " vorsteherin " or stewardess. Regular hours were set apart for work and for recreation. The sisters lived in room companies, classed according to age, took their meals together and slept in dormitories. Each sister supported her- self and paid her board like any independent female in the outside world of today. This she could do by reason of the fact that various industries were carried on in the establishment. Connected therewith there was in the first place a large farm and some of the sisters were engaged in field and garden work — the dairy, the laundry, the cooking and all the manifold duties of a large plantation. The weaving of linen and woolen fabric was carried on, and the " Weavers House," (now standing simply as a relic) was built in 1 770. It is the small frame building at the western end of the " castle." The other industries were dressmaking, the making of lace and embroidery, box-making, knitting, the spinning of wool and flax and the making of chip hats. A small store was held in the room at the eastern side of the hall, on the first floor where the articles made in the establishment were retailed to the villagers and numerous visitors attracted by the fame of the quaint religious community. The management of the farm was in the hands of a warden, one of the brethren of the church. The large stone barn is still in use but has been converted into a gymnasium. The sisters took no vows, were at perfect liberty to come or go, to get married or remain single as they chose, and their lives while in the institution were free from restraint as long as their conduct was such as to render restraint unnecessary. So their lives were passed in simplicity, peaceful industry and sweet content. The letters of Miss Mary Penry to Mrs. Elizabeth Drinker, which were presented to the library of the school by Mr. John W. Jordan, of the Penna. Historical Society, who received them from Mr. Henry Biddle, show what a haven of rest this institution was to some of those who, without being compelled to work for a livelihood, sought shelter, a partial seclusion from the temptations and follies of the world, and the fellowship of other Christian women in a manner of life regulated upon Christian principles. But another feature at first undreamed of was to enter into this busy, human hive. Far in advance of the age as they were in most things, the Moravians, true to their great Bishop, John Amos Comenius, always founded schools for both sexes in every settlement they established. Although boarding schools had been founded before this time by the Moravian Church it was wholly a matter of accident, humanly speaking, that Linden Hall ever became a boarding school for girls. ^ ^ ^ £3 t3 £3 A parochial school for girls had been maintained in the Sisters' House and elsewhere ever since 1 748, but the objections to receiving boarders were [23 1 at first many and various. The school began in this wise. In the summer of 1 794 Mrs. Marvell, a lady from Baltimore, visited Lttitz and was greatly UoarMttn pleased with her inspection of the Sisters' House. On g>rljiuil leaving she asked permission to place her little daughter Margaret, nine years old, in the care of the sisters. After some hesitation this was granted, and on September 7, " Little Peggy " as she was usually called, became the first pupil in what in a year or two grew to be a boarding school. The second scholar was Sarah Schaeffer, of Tulpehocken. We quote the following from an article by H. A. Brickenstein in the Centennial edition of the Lancaster Intelligencer which fully elucidates all the points we care to touch upon in this necessarily imperfect sketch of the seminary's development. " More applications at first were received than could be accepted, there being a lack of room and, in the beginning, of competent teachers. The school and living room for the first pupils was in the Weaver's House. This house was built of logs and afterwards weather-boarded. During the first ten years — until 1 804, 63 scholars entered. Many of them were quite young and had to be placed in the separate charge of a sister. The charge for a year's board and tuition, four quarters of 1 2 weeks each, was £30, ' Pennsylvania currency,' or from $86 to $120, according as the shilling varied in those times. The boarding pupils were incorporated with the classes of the parochial school for girls, which was held in the Sister's House." By the year 1 804 the need of more room was strongly felt, and the Kinder Haus (children's house) was occupied, after a second story and a wing had been added. This house stood only a few steps from the Sisters' House' but at right angles to it. So far as the present writer has been able to make out, this house dates from I 769 and was originally intended for the girls' school. This is that portion of the present building which is occupied by the principal's study and the front of the dining room, with the story above these. The new house was dedicated August 26, 1804, and the same day six teachers and twenty-four pupils moved into it. Thereafter this house was known as the Anstalt, or boarding school. The original Anstalt building was from time to time enlarged by additions to the front and by wings, and about the year 1857 the Sisters' House was incorporated with the seminary. The total front is now nearly 200 feet. From time to time the Sisters' House has been thoroughly renovated within and the interior now presents a specially bright and cozy and withal a certain dignified appearance, which reminds one of the manor houses of England and the continent. _ Q Q E3 Of the life of the school at this time we get glimpses from Mrs. Haldeman's reminiscences as published in the school paper. The Linden Hall [261 Echo, and the letters of Miss Penry. Mrs. Haldeman, whose maiden name was Eliza Jacobs, entered the school in the year 1 800. Her father was grhnol ?"tfp owner of the Mount Hope and Colebrook furnaces. She nnii died in Harrisburg, where she was a leader in social circles and church and benevolent work, in the year I 884, at the age of 95 years. She was an interested visitor and an honored guest at commencements after she had passed her ninetieth year. It is a matter of regret that there are not at hand detailed reminiscences concerning the school during the succeeding decades of the century that now lies behind it. The " Echo " supplies this information for the last 30 years, br.t of the interval between them historical material is very scant. In the case of a school or similar organization the incidents connected with its founding are naturally the most interesting. Afterwards its life and activity move on in the paths originally chosen, widening its sphere, however, as new demands are made or new opportunities present themselves. The conservative spirit of the community and the church has not welcomed changes for their own sake, but the growth has been steady, and at the present day the seminary stands fully abreast of similar institutions in equipment and the courses and method of study. Regard for the welfare, physical, intellectual and spiritual, of the individual pupil still characterizes its system of household government, and to carry this into practice it is sometimes called on to make sacrifices which under other methods might be avoided. In 1863 the seminary was incorporated by the legislature. In 1874 a settled course of study was instituted in which scholars are graduated after reaching the required standing. The post-graduate course was begun in 1 880. From the beginning 4000 scholars have been in attendance, not counting day scholars. The location of the school is as attractive now as it was a hundred years ago. Although the simple Moravian Church settlement has grown into a flourishing borough with fully five times as many inhabitants, and a shifting population of a somewhat cosmopolitan character the school is still shielded and sheltered from the " maddening crowd's ignoble strife " by the beautiful church square. The " castle " and the Memorial Chapel are covered with ivy, and the latter especially being nearest the main street, are the constant admiration of all who pass. The venerable pile looks ancient enough to attract the antiquarian, picturesque enough to attract the artist and homelike enough to attract the wanderer. B [3 ^ As already stated the gymnasium occupies the interior of the old stone barn of the early days. It is well equipped, is supplied with an indoor tennis [27 1 court, basket ball and bowling alley. Exercises in physical culture are taken regularly. In the rear of the main building, facing the rising sun, is a (SBumaatuiH playground of about an acre in extent, planted with stately _, ^""^ giants of the forest and garden — Norway spruce, white piagyromtft • i • i i i i- i i n pine, tiickory, chestnut, oak, Imden, cherry, as well as flowering shrubs, and supplied with gravelled walks, seats, swings and pavilions. At the eastern end is a very fine tennis court. Class trees, all Norway spruce, are planted along the northern side. The whole is enclosed by a hedge fence- The grounds in the rear of the stone building are also quite considereble in extent, and being well kept and shaded are more or less frequented by the pupils, B B B The seminary is conducted on the system (we quote from the catalogue) which has for more than a century been tested in similar institutions in Europe and in this country, and which is finding increased acceptance in the latter. j7[l,P This system aims to be a substitute for the close and iBnmpalir affectionate supervision of parents at home. The pupils and ArrangpiHPitt . i r i i i i i i teachers ot the seminary conshtute one household, at the head of which stand the Principal and his wife. The pupils are divided, mainly according to age, into smaller families or " Rooms," numbering usually about fifteen. Over each of these two teachers preside, for purposes of companionship, protection, assistance and control. It need scarcely be added that this system has its modifications, and this supervision becomes less close as the pupils advance through the different grades. The seniors have many privileges denied to the younger pupils, while the " posts " as they are called, the young ladies in the college department, are put on their honor and have perfect liberty. Q B !3 Each room company has a separate suite of apartments, a sitting and study room, dressing rooms and bath rooms. The first is a cheerful, roomy apartment, supplied with tables, chairs, several easy chairs and couches, ®bp fSnnntB pictures, curtains and a small reference library. Each class i9nrmttnrira au^ has separate recitation rooms which are supplied with desks, philosophical apparatus, blackboards, maps and all the paraphernalia of the school work-shop as distinguished from the living rooms. The library and reading room is well supplied with books of reference and standard and current literature. The dining room is a very pleasant room on the first floor of the Hall with windows facing the square In front and the campus in the rear. The dormitories are large and cheerful and divided into alcoves, each pupil occupying an alcove of her own, thus securing a private sleeping apartment for each individual. I 28 ] MARY DIXON MEMORIAL CHAPEL LINDEN HALL SEMINARY Tlie infirmary was built in 1 890, and as all the windows have southern and eastern exposure it is one of the most sunny and cheerful of all the buildings. All the windows afford lovely views of the play ground and the meadows beyond. S B Q in 1885 the beautiful Mary Dixon Memorial Chapel was dedicated. It was a gift from George W. Dixon, the father of one of the scholars, its cost being about $23,000. It is a gem of architecture built in Gothic style, jjj. J. limestone and sandstone both being used in its construction, ilbi'it/rial From the northwest corner rises a handsome tower of (fil?a*>fl limestone and sandstone surmounted by a spire, containing a belfry, with a peal of three bells, and topped by a gilt lamb and banner, the episcopal seal of the Moravian Church. The bells are in the chord o^ A Major and were cast by McShane, of Baltimore. They each bear an inscription taken from the one hundreth Psalm : the large one, v. 1 , " Make a joyful noise unto the Lord; the middle one. v. 4. " Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and bless His name;" the third one, v. 5, " For the Lord is good, and His truth endureth to all generations." Under the flmal of the frort gable is a large sandstone panel with the inscription. " Te Deum Laudamus. Mary Dixon Memorial Chapel." The triangular panel under the arch of the front door has the inscription, cut into the stone and gilt : " I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." The height from the ground to the top of the lightning rod is 1 1 5 feet. Within the building is divided into an upper and lower floor. On the lower floor is a spacious music room with its pine wainscoting and stained glass windows. It is supported by graceful iron pillars. In this room soirees and musicals are held. To reach the second floor a noble stair-case of California red wood, beautifully stained and carved, is ascended. This leads to the vestibule in front of the auditorium of the chapel. Three of the finest features are the memorial windows. The largest at the eastern end tells the story of the Resurrection, the three Marys at the open tomb and the angel occupying the place of the risen Christ. The colors are rich red, purple, orange and blue. The Inscription at the base reads as follows: "In memory of Mary Dixon, daughter of George Dixon, of Bethlehem, who entered school September 4, 1876 and graduated with distinction in the class of 79. She entered into eternal rest April 4, '82, at Bethlehem, aged 19.' The second memorial window, at the northern side, was placed there in memory of the builder, George W. Dixon, who died in '84, before the chapel was finished, by his grandsons, George W. D. and Edgar W. D. Hope. The third memorial window is at the southern side, and was placed there in June, 1 892, by the Alumnae Association in honor of Mrs. Brickenstein. the [29] beloved and efficient Vice Principal of Linden Hall for 1 8 years. The inscription reads : " To the glory of God and in loving memory of Suscin C. Brickenstein, v/ho entered into rest August 28, 1891, aged 55 years. A faithful hriend, a wise guide, with a mother's eye and heart for all of us. Ejected by the teachers and pupils, 1873 — 1892." The other windows are also of stained glass, of unique design and rich in color, each with a scriptural motto in the transom. All the wandows came from the establishment of J. and R. Lamb, New York, whose work is favorably known in all parts of the country. In the west end of the building is a very large stained glass window with the motto of the school, " Non Scholae sed Vitae Discimus," in the centre of a quaint design. The woodwork of the auditorium is Colifomia red wood emd cherry. The pipe organ, which is a very sweet toned one, wais placed in the chapel in June, 1 894, by the Alumnae Association eind friends of the school, and was dedicated at the Centennial. The building, like all the rest of the school, is lighted by electricity. The seating capacity is about 300. The stained glass windows, the handsome finish of the Wciinscoting cmd seats, the dark red of the beams in the ceiling, the graceful shapes emd bright polish of the lamp standards, give to the interior a rich, warm, quiet tone which is verj'^ grateful to the eye, taste and feeling. The banners of a number of graduating classes are hung on the waDs of the main chapel. B H B The buildings are all warmed throughout by steam, and the large, wide, cheerful halls, with their broad staircases, deep-seated windows, delightful nooks and corners, grandfathers* clocks and gems of art are as inviting and ffialls ^^ much frequented as the rooms, all of which open on anil porches. Peculiar to Linden Hall are the numerous owls, large and small, which perch in every comer, and add to the dignity and odor of wisdom that only Minerva's favorite cam confer. The museum is an object of great interest and contciins some rare and valuable specimens which cure constantly being added to. The many very fine specimens of artisticeilJy cirranged oils, water colors, engravings, etc., found all over the buildings, add much to the cheerfulness and air of culture which pervades everything connected with Linden Hall. Q It is the emphatic practical aim of the seminary to be, first of all, in tone and life, a thoroughly Christian school. While it is controlled in a certain measure by the Provincial Synod of the Moravian Church, it is not, in any [30] respect whatever, a sectarian school, but each student's religious belief is justly respected. Believing in the importance of moral and religious culture, great aiflintoua ^^""^ ^^ ^^^^^ '° ^'^ students in formmg virtuous habits, to SnBlrurlinn anb imbue their minds with correct moral principles, and to inspire gnncipala ^j^^j^. ^^^^^^ ^-^^^ lofty truths of Chrisrianity. A short devotional exercise is held every morning in the chapel, and there are private devotions in each room before retiring at night. On Sunday the pupils attend services in the chapel or in the church, and have Bible study in their respective rooms. The foUvmg is a list of principals of Linden Hall since it was organized : John Herbst, 1794—1802; John Meder, 1802—1805; John F. Frueauff, 1805—1815; Andrew Benade, 1815—1822; Christian Bechler, 1822— 1824; Samuel Reinke, 1824—1826; John G. Kummer, 1826—1830; Charles F. Kluge, 1830—1836; Peter Wolle, 1836—1838; Eugene A. Frueauff, 1 838— 1 855 ; Julius T. Bechler, 1 855— 1 862 ; William C. Reichel, I 862— 1 868 ; Eugene A. Frueauff. 1 868— 1873; Hermann A. Brickenstein, 1873—1892; Charles B. Shultz, 1892-1897; Charles L. Moench, 1 897— 1 898 ; Charles D. Kreider, 1 898—. B Si B A most complete and thorough course of study from preparatory to college grade is offered by the seminary with exceptional opportunities in music and art. The academic department affords an opportunity to all those who dmnrara ^^ "°* expect to enter college, to fit themselves for the of duties of home, business and social life, while at the same ^ time giving a most excellent preparation to those who wish to continue their studies either here or in any one of the larger colleges or universities for women. Linden Hall always has enjoyed a most enviable reputation as a school of music and art, and thus attracts both its own and the graduates of other institutions to itself for the purpose of continuing or completing iheir course ot study in these departments. I 131) (Ulir |. m. (E. A. By M. S. HESS N August 14, 1893, a number of young men met in the upper room of the Moravian Sunday School Chapel and organized a circle of "King's Sons" under the leadership of H. C. Miller. The object of this circle Vvas to develop spirituail life and to stimulate Christian activities among the young men. About a year later ( 1 894 ) this body of young men, numbering about twenty-one, organized themselves into a Young Men's Christian Association, of which their leader became President. Rooms were rented in the old Lyceum building, but several years later the Directors thought it advisable to move to a more central location. In 1897 the first floor of the old Tshudy building was secured. Later the house was torn down and the Association moved into the new building which was erected and is now the present headquarters, above I. H. Doster's store. In order to bring the work before the public a mass meeting was held February i 900, in the Moravian Sunday School Chapel. Addresses were made by State Secretary Bard and several local members. In response to the call for funds needed to furnish the rooms, over five hundred dollars was raised. The suite of rooms includes a parlor, reading room, game room and lavat ry. The reading room is well supplied with the leading papers and nagazines; a library of 480 volumes, also a free library of 50 volumes, which is exchanged every six months. (iflftr^r0 M. vS.

BOMBERGER WILLIAM FAvSNACHT JAMES SEABER G. HERMAN GOETZ WILLIAM C. ENCK WILLIAM DUSSINGER [32 1 Hittti B^prmgs ITITZ SPRINGS Is situated in a beautiful park of about seven acres in the western part of the borough. As a pleasure resort it has merits rarely equalled. Nature and man have both contributed to make the place unusually attractive. It is w^ithin a few minutes walk to the heart of town, while the main thoroughfares skirt its borders, and the railroad and trolley stations are at its main entrance- Shelter is provided on the grounds, and hotels are at two of its gates and a refreshment stand is in the park. The spring is a strong one of the clearest limestone water and empties into a large oval pool surrounded by cut sandstone coping. It is claimed that several underground streams converge at this point. A person standing at the elevation west of the Springs is puzzled to understand where the reservoir exists that supplies the vast volume of water. It is believed that a large part of it comes from the hills far to the northwest. It is claimed that chaff put into the cave on the John Bomberger farm on the Manheim road two miles away reached the Springs by way of a subterranean stream. Lititz creek from its source to the Conestoga (into which it empties at Pinetown) furnished power in the past for five large grist mills, a cord mill at Rome and a private mill on the Moses Buch farm. The Springs earlier was called Carter's Creek, so named by James Carter, an Englishman, who was one of the first settlers in the vicinity of Lititz and Warwick. Carter, who is buried near Millport, came from Warwickshire, from which fact Warwick township derives its name. Early in the century the enclosure was used as a place for watering cattle from the church farm. The young men conceived the idea of fitting up the place as a pleasure ground and were reluctantly granted an acre, the [33] authorities fearing such a " Lushtpiatz " would engender too much worldliness. They fitted it up with arbors, by tree planting and otherwise, working Saturday afternoon and evenings. In 1843 the first of a series of Fourth of July Celebrations for raising revenue was held by selling refreshments, at which $12 was realized. Four hundred candles were used on the occasion. Celebrations were held as early as 1 8 1 8. From this time on additions were made from time to time, swampy places were filled up and walks made along the stream and an entrance opened from North Broad Street in 1844. The only entrance originally was from Maple Street, opposite the old brewery. In 1856 the sandstone founts and coping were placed at and around the pool, the coping being extended to the first bridge and the walls further down stream. The Colemans contributed the sandstone in the rough. Their hauling, dressing and placing involved an outlay of $1500. which sum was advanced by Jacob Tshudy, father of Haydn H. Tshudy. To clear this debt the Fourth of July Celebrations were begun, at which entrance fees were charged and have been continued annually since. The committee of public-spirited men who carried the work to completion was John Beck. Jacob Tshudy and Samuel Lichtenthaler. For a period of about ten years, between the dates of 1844 and 1856, the spring grounds were given into the custody of the late John Beck, principal of the Liritz Academy, who took great pains in beautifying it and spent considerable money in planting trees and otherwise improving it. It was a favorite resort of the Academy boys, many of them aiding in the work of their beloved tutor. The receipts hom the annual Fourth of July Celebrations together with some revenue derived from picnics is used to keep the grounds in repair and make improvements. The park is the property of the Moravian Congregation. but the grounds are free to the citizens as if they were a public park. The church derives no revenue therefrom but the Spring Committee annually makes a donation to the Sunday School according to the receipts during the year. Besides the attraction of the beautiful stream and an abundance of shade trees, the visitor always lingers to look at the lion head cut in the solid rock along the north path by artist Augustus Beck, now of Harrisburg. In the wall at the head of the Springs a stone tablet was placed recently by Paul and Herbert Beck and their father, on which is engraved in German " Gottes Bruennlein hat Wasser die Fulle," translated into English this reads " God's rount is never failing." The idea of making the Springs a picnic ground never entered the minds of the men who started the improvements. After the railroad [34] was built in 1 863 parties from Reading and elsewhere came and the picnics finally becaune a permanent feature. As a place for Sunday Schools and associations for a day's outing no better place can be found. The first picnickers found no accomodations in the way of shelter or otherwise. Adjoining the Spring Grounds and under the control of the committee is a spacious base ball ground auid tennis court. Adjoining these grounds on the south cuid the Spring Grounds on the west is the standpipe and power house of the Lititz Water Company in a two-acre enclosure. The present Spring Committee consists of Dr. J. H. Shenk, President '< C. W. Grosh, Secretary-Treasurer ; C. H. Kreider, J. B. Leib, W. H. Muth. [35 1 Q^bt m, €. ©. 1. By MISS A. V. GROSH NE of the organizations which works for the moral and religious welfare of Lititz is the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. On May 23, 1884, under the auspices of the Lancaster W. C. T. U., Narcissa E. White (Mrs. Kinney) spoke in the Moravian Sunday School Chapel. At the conclusion of her address on " How shall the question (temperance) be solved," the Rev. John Taylor Hamilton, a member of the Synod then in session; briefly exhorted " to strike while the iron is hot " and not let the occasion pass without organizing for temperance work. Miss White then organized the Lititz Woman's Christian Temperance Union of fifteen members, with Mrs. A. L. Wolle as President. On February 12, 1885, a Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union was organized, Elizabeth Kemper (Mrs. Souders) being the first President. The young women in turn directed their activities to the instruction of the children, and on May 6, 1885, organized a Band of Hope, of seventy members. This branch of the work is now known as the Loyal Temperance Legion and consists of two divisions, the junior and the senior, which together number 1 70 members. The Junior Legion meets on alternate Saturday afternoons in the Sunday School Chapel. Upon the completion of the course of study on the effects of alcohol upon the mind, the body, the pocket book and the nation, the juniors are admitted to the Senior Legion as graduates. Seventy boys and girls have passed examinations and received state diplomas. After ten years of work as separate organizations the W. C. T. U. and the Y. W. C. T. U. joined forces under the name of the Lititz W. C. T, U, On October 28, 1902, the second Y. W. C. T. U. was organized by Miss Amanda Landes, of Millersville State Normal School. Katharine Bobst was elected President. The Y's now number 24 regular and 2 honorary members. All these various branches are auxiliary to the local W, C, T. U., which in turn is auxiliary to the county, state, national and world unions. The Lititz union has 1 28 regular, 29 honorary (men), and 3 contributing members. TTie principles are set forth in the mottoes : " For God and Home and Every Land " and " Total abstinence for the individual and prohibition for the nation." The methods of work are along the lines of prevention and education. [361 Accordingly, early in its life, the W. C. T. U. maintained a public reading room until the organization of the Y. M. C. A. The scope of the work is seen in the number of departments adopted, each with its own superintendent. The following are the departments : Evangelistic, Sabbath Observance, Purity, Mercy, Flower Mission, Press, Temperance Instruction in Public Schools, Social Meetings, Mothers' Meetings, Y. W. C. T.

URSUANT to a call issued sometime previously twelve honorably discharged soldiers met at the Sturgis House, March 1 3, 1 886, to consider the feasibility of organizing a Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. This preliminary meeting (followed by several others) finally resulted in Stevens Post, No. 5 I 7, G. A. R. The post was installed May 7, 1 886^ by Department Commander, John P. S. Gobin, in what is now known as Brobst's Hall. After the installation services (among others) General Gobin and the Hon. Maniot Brosius delivered stirring addresses to their soldier comrades. Twenty-two joined the post at the time, only eight of whom are now members in good standing. During the nineteen years of its existence the post enrolled seventy-three members, but suspensions and death have thinned the ranks considerably. Until May 7, 1 898, the post paid death benefits but on account of the decrease in its membership a pro rata settlement involving the sum of $1 154.50 was made, since which time the post is no longer beneficial. Its regular meetings are held the first Saturday of every month in the same hall in which the installation services were held nineteen years ago. The post annually decorates the graves of deceased soldiers at Kissel Hill, Lexington, Brunnerville, Brickerville and Rothsville, ninety-six such graves being decorated Decoration Day of this year (1905). Morning Star Temple, No. 70, L. of G. E. MORNING Star Temple, No. 70, Ladies of the Golden Eagle, was instituted June 22, 1 895, in the K. of P. Hall, now known as Brobst's Hall, by District Grand Templar, Miss Katie Reinfried, of Lancaster. The charter members numbered thirty-four. The membership at the present time has reached the goodly number of one hundred and eleven. The temple has paid out in benefits and special donations $1650; it has buried 3 members. The order has a financial value of about $ I 300. It meets the first and third Wednesdays of each month. [38 1 A banquet followed Court Litltz, No. 296, Foresters of America COURT Lititz, No. 296, Foresters of America, the third youngest of of Lititz secret orders, was instituted April 27, 1904, at Rudy's Hall by Court Lancaster, No. 125. Twenty-one were received into membership on the night of institution. The order now numbers seventy members and is in a flourishing condition. Lititz Castle, No. 19, A. O. K. of M. C. LITITZ Castle, No. 19, Ancient Order Knights of Mystic Chain was instituted November 25, 1899, by Past Com- mander, D. K. Rettew, of Columbia, assisted by the degree team, of Lancaster Castle, No. 4. Thirty-five members were initiated on the night of institution which took place in Bomberger's Hall at Habecker's restaurant. The castle has paid out in sick and death benefits the sum of $744, and has buried four members. Its treasury shows a financial value of $525.75. During the first five years of its lifetime the membership has increased to one hundred and eleven. Of the original thirty-five members twenty are still active in the work of the order. The order meets every Saturday evening in Rudy's Hall. The castle celebrated its five-year anniversary November 24, 1 894. Lititz Assembly, No. 48, Daughters of Naomi, of the A. O. K. of M. C. THE Lititz Assembly, No. 48, Daughters of Naomi, of the Ancient Order Knights of the Mystic Chain was instituted in Rudy's Hall, December 7, 1904, by Grand Commander, Mrs. Annie L. Schadt, assisted by the degree staff of the Lancaster Assembly No. 36. Twenty-seven candidates were initiated on the night of institution. The order now numbers forty-four. The lodge meets every Monday evening in what is now known as Brobst's Hall, formerly known as Bomberger's Hall. The outlook for a flourishing order is very bright. New members are constantly being added. [39] Lititz Springs Council, No. 197, Jr. O. U. A. M. LITITZ Springs Council, Junior Order United American Mechanics was instituted February 19, 1897, in Bomberger's Hall, now known as Brobst's Hall. Deputy State Councillor, W. J. Gundaker, of Lancaster, conducted the institution, fifty-one joining the order at the time. At the present time the order numbers one hundred and fifty-one. During the eight years of its existence the council has paid out in benefits $7587.89. It has buried one member and the wives of three members. The order met in K. of P. Hall until November, 1 900, when the meeting place was changed to Rudy's Hall, where its sessions are held since. It meets regularly every Friday evening. Lititz Camp, No. 561, P. O. S. of A. STATE President, Charles H. Stees, of Phila- delphia, assisted by the degree staff of Lancaster Camp No. 557 instituted Lititz Camp No. 561, Patriotic Order Sons of America^ September 30, 1904. The instituting ceremonies were held in Rudy's Hall. Forty-two candidates were initiated the same evening. The camp now has fifty-eight on its rolls. Regular meetings are held every Thursday evening in Brobst's Hall. Garfield Castle, No. 76, K. G. E. GARFIELD Castle, No. 76, Knights of the Golden Eagle was instituted March 3, 1 886, by Grand Chief, George W. Crouch, of Philadelphia, thirty members being admitted on the night of institution, seventeen of whom are members at the present time. The castle was instituted in the building known as Concert Hall. In April of the same year the castle moved into Bomberger's Hall, where itg sessions were held for fourteen years. Since December, 1900, the castle holds its sessions in Rudy's Hall. During the nineteen years of its existence the castle buried sixteen members and the waves of ten members ; it has paid in sick and death benefits $ 1 2092.65. At the present time the castle has a total valuation of $5623.00, with a membership of 226. It meets regularly every Tuesday evening. [40] The castle celebrated the eighteenth anniversary of its institution March 2, 1904, entertaming two hundred and fifty guests. Lilitz Lodge, No. 253, K. of P. LITITZ Lodge. No. 253, Knights of Pythias was instituted May 20. 1870, in the building now occupied by Fleming Brothers, where the lodge held its meetings for some time. More suitable quarters were then obtzuned in the building now occupied by E. C. Ritchie. After meeting here for 8 or 9 years the lodge moved April 3, 1879, into what was then the only house south of the Warwick House, now used as a machine shop. In 1 880 Concert Hall became ihe meeting place, when the lodge became the sole lessees of Bomberger's Hall, which was dedicated with public ceremonies. After meeting here for 1 4 years the order moved, December, 1 900, into Rudy's Hall, the present qucirters. The lodge held its regular meetings every Friday evening until November 16, 1877, when the time was changed to Thursday evening. Twenty-one members were received at the first meeting of whom five are on the rolls at the present time. About five hundred names have been enrolled since the institution.

AS WELL AS OF HIM WHO FOUNDED AND MANAGED THE SAME FOR HALF A CENTURY. WRITTEN BY PARTICULAR REQUEST. 1815 TO 1865. REPRINTED BY PERMISSION OF A R. BECK. FROM A COMPLETE CATALOGUE OF THE LITITZ ACADEMY FOR BOYS. PUBLISHED IN 1865 Utiz, May 31. 1865. To My Former Pupils: My Dear Friends : During the period of fifty years in which I have been engaged as a teacher of youth, mainy of you, whose names are herein recorded, have asked me to publish a Catalogue, together with my personal history, as also that of the school. On all such occasions, I promised to comply whenever I should resign my occupation as a teacher ; and that period of my life having arrived, I proceed to the task. Catalogues containing the names of attending pupils, together with terms and regulations, are generally published annually by Principals of schools, for the inducement of future patronage ; but the object of this pam- phlet is not such. It is the first ever issued by me, and merely contains the names of those who have been in my care for fifty years. For these it is issued as a token of reference, and as such I present it to you. I have adopted the form of a familiar letter for the following items concerning my own per- soncJ history and the rise and progress of the school, as the best medium for an unrestrained and characteristic chat with those, who no longer moving within my own sphere of action, are still vividly remembered and cherished by me. I was born at Graceham, Frederick Co., Maryland, on the 1 6th of June, 1 79 1 , and in my sixth year moved with my parents to Lancaster Co., Penn- sylvania, into the neighborhood of Mount Joy, whence, after a lapse of two years we repaired to Lebanon Co. (Bethel), near the Blue Mountains. There being no schools in that vicinity at that time, my parents determined to send me to Nazareth Hall. At this school I remained until my fifteenth year ; I did not leave it as a very bright scholar ; whether from lack of capacity, or whether from want of proper training to suit my case, I know not, but the testimoniaJ I received on leaving, was an unfavorable one ; nevertheless, what 143 1 little I had acquired served me well, as you all know. Whatever deficiency, in the learning of the books may have been apparent, it is to this school that I am indebted fcr the first religious impressions made upon my young heart ; a lasting source of gratitude, which wells up within me whenever 1 visit venerable eld Nazareth Hall. My education being found deficient, it was determined by my parents that I should learn a mechanical trade, and my own inclination tended towards Cabinet making ; but myparents, who desired to place me in the care of a religious and strictly moral man, failing to find one in that occupation v^hose views in that regard accorded with their own, proposed to rr.e to tecome ihe apprentice of a shoemaker, whom they believed worthy of their confidence. I felt much disinclined, but having learned the good lesson of filial obedience at Nazareth Hall, I complied, and accordingly was sent to Litiz in the year 1805, for that purpose. Here I was more fortunate in acquiring a knowledge of the business than I had been at Nazareth in my educational pursuits, and on the day of my freedom my master gave me a highly favorable testimony ; he pronounced me the best and fzistest workman, as well as the most faithful apprentice boy he ever had in his employ, and in order to testify still further his good feeling toward me, presented me an elegant suit of clothes, and fifty dollars. It was but a short time after I had gained my Ireedom, when I wcis asked to take charge of the village school at Litiz ; an offer tendered because of my great fondness of children as well as their peurtiality toward me. Fond as i was of them, I felt constTciined to decline, well aware of the deficiency of my education, and loth to leave a trade which 1 had mastered so thoroughly. At two successive periods 1 was again asked to take charge of the school, but refused for reasons stated. In the year 1812, it so happened that there were five apjwentice boys in the village, whose mcisters were bound by indenture to send them for some months to school, but the regulations of the village school at that time precluding the admission of boys over twelve years of age, they called upon me to teach them three evenings in a week, offering me two shillings and six-pence (then the currency) for every session. I consented to make a trial, but the undertaking appeared to me very much as when the blind undertake to lead the blind. Fortunately for me, I found them on the first evening of our meeting very deficient, and when I realized my ability to teach thein something, labor became converted into pleasure; at the expiration of the term, I received much praise from both masters and the boys, who publicly and privately extolled the results of my humble efforts ; these reports of my success spread over the whole village, and it was once more determined by the citizens to ask me to take charge of the village school ; this time, by a *letter, signed by all Fathers and Mothers who 'Now Iramed and hung in the library of his son, A. R. Beck. [44 1 JOHN BECK, 1791-1S73 The Eminent Educator, Founder, and Principal of Lititz Academy for 50 years, 1.S15-1S65 had sons to send to school. The final conclusion cost me much consideration, from reasons already stated. I consulted a number of my friends, and among others also with my former master, who encouraged me to make a trial, saying, " Who knows to what it may lead ; you may possibly become a more useful man than if you remain a shoemaker. As long as you were in my shop, I always thought you were predestined for some other occupation ; your great attachment for children, who as you know are constantly clinging around you, led me to think so." I finally determined to make a trial, and I was accordingly introduced to my future charge, consisting of twenty-two boys, on the 2nd of January, 1815, by the Rev. Andrew Benade, who was then pastor of the Litiz congregation, and under whose care and direction the school stood at that time. Before I proceed, allow me to give you some account of the school house in which I commenced my teacher's career. It stood on the site of the present lwo-£tory brick building, which bears the appellation, " Boys' Academy." It was originally built for a blacksmith shop, although in later years it served as a potash manufactory, while its age, judging from the figures on the vane, 1 754, must have been 61 years. The size of this primitive school-house was about 30 by 24 feet, but the room itself only about 24 feet square, and poorly lighted by four small windows, and its roof covered with tiles, the ceiling very low, the inside walls exceedingly rough and dark, and on one side a fire-place, a receptacle of the blacksmith's bellows in former times ; immediately at the entrance there was a small bojurd-constructed corridor, partly to keep the cold out, and in part to serve the boys as a place to hang up their hats ; the sehool apparatus consisted of a flat table about 1 6 feet in length, the legs of which being tressels, did not stand steadily, but rocked backward and forward through the least movement of the boys who were seated around it on two long benches. When compared with the school houses of the present, it was certainly a poor affair, yet when we except the Ladies' Seminary it was at that time the best in Warwick township, the township in which Litiz is located. My first pupils were from seven to twelve years of age ; a few of them, tolerably well advanced, that is, according to the standard by which I, at that time, estimated education ; they were all German children, and one of the duties with which I had been charged, was, to teach them to speak English, an accomplishment in which their teacher himself was then imperfect. Here allow me to pay a passing tribute to Mr. Christian Shroff, my predecessor. He was a most worthy old gentleman, who had retained charge of the school for a number of years, but finally old age and defective eyesight had rendered him incapable of a longer continuance in the situation, leading the parents of the village to desire a young man for his place. His rare virtues will long be [45] remembered by many who enjoyed his instructions, and who, from his precept and example have become very useful men. The objects I had in view at the outset were, firstly, to gain the affections of my pupils, and secondly, to improve myself, and finally to instruct them so far as lay within me, with energetic faithfulness ; English and German Reading, Spelling and Writing, Arithmetic, Geography, and Grammar, were the branches required. At the close of the first term, I held, according to the custom of those days, a public examination, in the church. All of the paurents, as well as many others attended, anxious to see what success had attended my initial efforts ; contrary to my expectations all were much pleased with what they had seen and heard, a source of so much encouragement as to induce me to venture upon another term. A second examination again proved satisfactory, and as I had become so thoroughly attached to both school and the children, I resolved to devote my future life to the welfare of youth, and to remain a teacher as long as God should grant me health and strength, and furthermore to qualify myself more and more for the important situation. In spite of this resolve, youthful ambition frequently prompted me to essay some other more lucrative calling. At all such times it seemed as if a small still voice within admonished me, " Remain where you are ! " and blessed be God that I obeyed it ; nor, when I am about closing my life, will I cease thanking Him for having made my calling and predestination in this world, that of a teacher, an occupation in which, I trust, I have in some measure been instrumental in doing something for the welfare of some of my fellow mortals. Many were the methods introduced by me for the improvement of my pupils, and for their readier advancement in that which I had acquired by close application; indeed, I might fill sheets with accounts thereof, but such like details would probably not prove interesting to you. In order to improve myself, as well as to place the school on a better footing, considerable outlays proved necessary, and I was generally in debt at the end of the year, my salary being but $200, by no means sufficient to defray all the expenses. When my patrons engaged me, they held out as an inducement that I should be free on Saturdays, thus allowing me time to make a pair of shoes, an opportunity to earn something extra towards the increase of my yearly income. Once out of the routine of shoemaking, I never made another pair, but adopted another expedient, that of engraving tombstone epitaphs, which I considered more profitable ; and as I had acquired a slight knowledge of painting, I undertook to paint signs, and to ornament chairs for a chairmaker. In this wise I was enabled to earn something toward my own advancement and that of the school. In 1 8 1 8 an offer was tendered me from Bethlehem to take charge of the parochial school, at a salary of $300 ; but when my patrons heard it, [461 they refused to part with me, and as the School had increased considerably by accessions from the surrounding neighborhood, and commenced to yield considerably more than $200, it was proposed to overturn it entirely into my hands with permission to make my own terms ; this induced me to remain. As above said, I adopted various methods to stimulate the ambition of my pupils ; one of them, I must mention, since it led to the conversion of my humble little school into a Boarding Academy, an eventuality which I never had in view. I had prepared a number of Badges of Honor of various sizes and colors, each one containing a motto of praise in bright gilt letters, and otherwise beautifully ornamented ; when hung up along the wall of the school-room, they presented a handsome appearance, and contrasted most pleasingly with the rough and dark walls thereof; on each a number, such as 10, 20, 30, 40, &c., was painted, whilst a strap with a button attached, served to suspend them to the breast of any boy who had recited best in the various branches of his class, and enabled the recipient conveniently to carry the badge of distinction to his parents. A regular account was then kept, and at the close of the morning and evening exercises, each of those who had received one of them, obtained a credit for the number on its face. At the expiration of a month, all such credits were added together, and the boy who had the highest number, was gladdened with some such prize as a book, knife, etc. Any one who conducted himself improperly, lost all that he had gained. This method had an astonishing effect upon every boy, and they applied themselves to their lessons, early and late, each one energetically striving for the highest numbers. Now it so happened one day in the year 1819, that two gentlemen from Baltimore visited Litiz, and when casually passing through the village, met the boys bearing some of these badges. Attracted by the novel appearance, they stopped the boys and asked an explanation, which the boys promptly gave them, but they did not come to see me in the old shop. On their return to Baltimore, it so happened that a certain Mr. V., having a son, whom he wished to place somewhere in a school, consulted the aforesaid gentlemen on the subject ; they recommended him to Litiz, alleging, from what they had seen, the probable existence of a good school there. Mr. V. at once determined to come to Litiz on a reconnoitering expedition, arrived on a Saturday, and found me engaged in painting, assuredly not in a plight to make a favourable impression on a parent who was seeking a teacher for his son. His first enquiry, " whether the teacher resided here ?" having been responded affirmatively, was followed by a second, " Could I get to see him ?"* to which I replied, " I aan the person." " Well, sir," said he, " 1 have come from Baltimore to see whether you will receive my son as a pupil." " My dear sir," I rejoined, abashed, " I have no Boarding School, I merely instruct the village boys ; you have been misin- 147] formed ; there Is a Ladles' Seminary here, but none for boys.' " No sir I have not been misinformed," said he, " your school is highly spoken of in Baltimore, and I have been recommended to you." * Why," said I, in utter astonish- ment," who should knovv^ anything there of me or my school ; 1 have not been there, nor do I know a single person in the city." He then recounted to me what the two strangers had related to him, expiating at length upon their strong recommendations of the school, as well as the village. He insisted upon the admission of his son, and I as steadily continued to refuse. After a long conversation upon the subject, he finally said, " Mr. Beck, think the matter over, I shall meanwhile go to the hotel and dine ; will you call there this afternoon for further conversation on the subject ? " Upon my arrival at the hotel, he met me at the door, and exclaimed, " It is needless for you to say no, I have taken a liking to you, and you must receive my son; if you ask $500 a year, I will pay it to you." Still shrinking from so great a responsibility, I proposed to show him my Academy, hoping that a glance at the old Blacksmith Shop would change his mind — arrived there, my first remark to him was, " This is my Academy, surely you would not fancy your son's admission into so mean a building." His reply much astonished me : " You need no better recommen- dation than this humble building, and the sequestered village about it, where my son may be safely removed from the temptations and perils incident to life in a metropolis." Hereupon I finally, but reluctantly, agreed to receive his son, who arrived ten days later, accompanied by his mother. I tried my best to persuade her not to leave him here, but she, like Mr. V., at once became equally prepossessed, not only with Litiz, but with my humble schoolroom, remarking, "In just such a school I want my son to be educated." After imparting many parental admonitions to her son, she left him in my charge on the 30th of August, 1819, on which day I entered him in school, cherishing the fond hope that as he was the first, he would be the last one I would receive fxom abroad. Little did I imagine on that day, my future destiny to be the educator of many hundred boys, who would be brought to me from nearly all the States in the Union. In God's Providence it has, however, come to pass during 50 years, as the Catalogue shows. About four weeks after Master V. had entered, five more came from Baltimore, all sons of highly respectable families. *They arrived without preliminary application, and I was much concerned what to do with them, for I was deficient in boarding accomodations; but it nevertheless really appeared, as though a Higher Hand had regulated the matter, for family after family in the village offered to receive not only the newcomers, but a number of others who soon followed ; these five boys also came on the reccom- * He knew nothing of their coming. Quite unexpectedly to him the carriage containing the boys stopped before the blacksmith shop while school was in session.— -A. R. B. [48] mendation of the two gentlemen who had reccommended the school to Mr. V. In proportion as the school increased, the old building was found too small, and it was determined to tear it away and erect a larger house on its site ; accordingly, in the early part of 1822, the dingy blacksmith shop was taken down, and on the 25th of September following, I moved the school into the new building. Spacious and comfortable as I now deemed my room, constant accessions to the number of my pupils, soon rendered futher extensions desirable. Experience had taught me, that quite young pupils cannot be properly consorted with those older and more advanced. I therefore proposed to those parents of the village, who had small boys, the establishment of a primary school ; but as such an arrangement was unheard of in those days, in these parts, the project met with little favor. Thinking that the additional expense thereof constituted the chief objection, I offered to bear that myself, an offer which secured their acquiescence ,and I forthwith had a small building adapted to the purpose, wherein I placed the widow of my master in the shoemaking trade as teacher ; (Mrs. Elizabeth Traeger) she was a well educated lady, and I felt happy to be enabled to afford her an occupation by which she might be able to make a living, which she really needed. By this arrangement I gained more room and a considerable diminution of labor. In the year 1826 my health declined rapidly, through much speaking and over exertion ; my lungs became affected, attended with a bad cough, and I was exhausted to such an extent that physicians deemed recovery hopeless ; yet, after some time, I was again convalescent.* During this protracted spell of ill health, I had dismissed the school, but when fully restored, all the boys speedily returned. As the school increaaed, I felt the want of a play-ground which the boys should be able to call their own, and wherein to ply their various youthful sports, undisturbedly ; but the difficulty, how and where to locate the same, so as not to prove an incumbrance to the residents of the town, arose. I had heard descriptions of Fellenburg's Institution at Hofuryl, in Germany, and the arrangement of his playground ; but to establish one on so complete and large a scale as his, seemed out of question in my case, yet I determined to essay it on a smaller plan. A lot about one and one-fourth acres in size was secured ; it was a very uneven piece of ground, which required to be graded, a task accomplished by the boys after school hours, who all went to work with pleasure and without bidding. Doubtless, those who assisted, and may chance to read this, will remember the happy time we experienced while working together; this happened in 1830. The play-ground underwent some changes *He attributed his recovery, under God, to a goat's milk diet, recommended by Dr. Fahnesfock.---A. R. B. [49] from time to time, owing to particular circumstances. Let me describe it, as it appeared at first, and then the changes which took place, which may prove interesting to you. It was surrounded by an enclosure seven feet high, and three gates opened into the vacant space ; over the large, or central one, there was an arch with the inscription, in gilt letters, as a perpetual monitor, " In all your actions and amusements avoid profane language and quarrels." Opposite these places of entrance, arose a high ball-alley, with a shed attached, wherein the boys might store away their gardening implements, and apparatus used in various games and amusements. Along the sides of the enclousure, small gardens, nine feet by four square, were laid out and enclosed in a plank frame, whereof each boy had one to cultivate. Between the gardens and the main space reserved for games of ball, &c., there was an avenue of trees intended for a riding course, for I desired to imitate Fellenburg also in this particular, deeming it a source of much pleasure to the boys, beneficial to their health and useful as an accomplishment. To further this end, I purch ased two ponies, and that all might suit together, had a small saddle made. When all was complete, the spot possessed great beauty, and when some seventy or eighty boys were seen amusing themselves in all the exuberance of healthy spirits, some riding, some playing ball, others cultivating their gardens, the appearance was at once pleasant and inspiriting ; indeed it grew to be one of the attractions of Litiz, and was visited by all strangers who chanced to come that way. No doubt many of you perusing this simple narrative, will remember the happy times you spent there. Thus the grounds continued for several years when I found It necessary to make some change ; some of the gardens were kept in fine order by their owners, but others neglected theirs, and it not unfrequently happened, that indolent and neglectful boys filched plants and flowers from the gardens of those who had cultivated them, transplanting them into their own ; all this naturally gave rise to quarrels and unhappy feelings, and I therefore determined to remove the gardens. Various circumstances also led to a discontinuation of the riding exercises, after they had existed three years. Notwithstanding these alterations, the play-ground remained an attractive spot for the boys, until the now celebrated spring grew into favor, by reason of its extraordinary natural beauties, and the great improvements made there, when they preferred going there. It remained in existence until the present year 1865, when in accordance with an extended plan of the village, a street was opened along its site, an alley opened through it, the trees were cut down and the enclosure taken away. In 1832 Mr. John Rickert, whom many of you remember, offered as an Assistant Teacher, his services to me. Well aware of his qualifications, I readily accepted his offer, realizing how much the school must be improved thereby, [50] and how materially I should be relieved of some of my duties. A short sketch of Mr. Rickert may not be out of place here, as it may prove interesting to those of you who were in his class. He entered my school in 1816, in his 9th year, and soon manifesled extraordinary talents, rising rapidly to the fore- most rank of all my scholars. At 1 2 years of age his father intended to take him from school, unable to afford the expense any longer, and his intention was, to hire him out to some farmer, in whose employ the lad might earn something for him. I deemed it a pity that so bright a boy should be hired out to menial work upon a farm, and offered the father the advantages of my school gratuitously for his son, guaranteeing to provide him with any books he might need. The old gentleman assented to this. In his 1 4 th year, I made him an usher and he assisted me daily, after his own recitations, for about three hours in hearing classes. At the age of 1 5, he left School, and after a short attempt at a mechanical trade, which proved prejudicial to his health, he entered a store, where he remained for some time ; thence he repaired to Lebanon county to teach school, and finally entered Nazareth Hall as one of the faculty. After remaining in that Institution for several years, he offered his services to me, believing such to be his duty, since I had laid the foundation to his excellent qualifications. The school now assumed a different character, as through his accession, new features were introduced, particularly the higher branches of Mathematics, Natural Science, &c. It was found necessary to open another room, which I was so fortunate to obtain in the large stone building, the whole of which I now occupy. About that time, I also engaged Mr. Augustus Christ, who for a time assisted me in my room. Both Mr. Rickert and Mr. Christ are no more ; Mr. Rickert died after having been with me seventeen, and Mr. Christ twenty-seven years. We three teachers labored harmoniously together the boys were all happy, and through very favorable accounts of their progress, written home by them, more were induced to come, a circumstance that com- peUed me to make still greater extensions, so that we not only occupied the new brick building, but also the whole of the large building contiguous thereto. Although, our patrons were thus pleased with their sons' progress, it ever appeared at the close of the school year, as though much had been left undone. In order to remedy this, I determined to engage a third, and finally a fourth assistant teacher, and to open two more rooms, so that there should not be so many in the care of each tutor, thus enabling me to systemize or grade the school, and to offer ample justice to each pupil. The result of this regulation proved more satisfactory to me, and it has thus remained ever since. Although I had provided the Institution with some apparatus, it was not until the year 1833 that I purchased a complete Philosophical and Chemical apparatus, together with a Telescope, as well as a Library, Maps and Charts [51] for illustration ; in short, everything which seemed likely to facilitate the progress of my pupils. It was also at this period that the evening Lectures on various scientific subjects were introduced during the winter season, of which I am confident many of you harbor pleasing and profitable reminiscences ; they were given for a number of years in one of the school rooms, until the year 1850, when I built the two-story building adjoining the Academy ; the lower story intended as a Lecture Hall and for devotional exercises, while the upper was reserved for an additional school room, where German and Drawing might be taught more conveniently. After I had been a teacher a short time, I frequently felt a desire to have some communication with other teachers, in order to glean some experience from them, but in this I was doomed to disappointment, for it actually appeared in those days as if each teacher viewed the other with a jealous eye, and as though no sociability could exisit between them. I made frequent attempts to visit Educational Institutions, but always found myself an unwelcome visitor. Conventions and Institutes had not then inaugurated the present era of sociability and free interchange. Let me give you an instance ; in the year 1820, the celebrated teacher, Joseph Lancaster, came to this country from England, in order to introduce his method, whereby he professed to instruct seven hundred children in a body, in all the various branches to perfection. My desire to see him and his school was great, for I expected to derive much benefit from it. Accordingly I undertook a journey to Baltimore, where he was teaching at the time, to pay him a visit. 1 arrived there in the evening and could scarcely wait until morning, so great was my anxiety to see him and his school operations. Hastening to the school as early as I thought proper, I encountered him at the door ; I grasped his hand most cordially, and introduced myself as a teacher, stating to him the object of my errand. His reply was, " I am very sorry for thee, I am not in the habit of admithng teachers into my school. Whereupon I endeavored to reason with him, telling him that I had heard and read much about him, had traveled one hundred miles to see him and his school, and that probably he might make an exception in my case, yet all to no purpose, for he reiterated once more, " I am sorry for thee," then turned his back upon me and left the room. In 1836 a happier period commenced to dawn, for it was then that sociability among teachers may be said to have taken the place of prejudice and bigotry, at least in Lancaster County. It was then that Josiah Holbrook called a Convention of teachers and fiiends of education to meet on the 1 8 th of August, at West Chester. I was the only one present from Lancaster County, and was chosen president thereof. It continued in session three days, and was truly a happy meeting, wherein nothing but kindness and good feeling prevailed. [52] We separated, each one pledging himself to establish teachers' associations in his own district, with the purpose of developing greater fraternity. Lancaster County was to be my field of operations. On my return 1 was so forfunate as to enlist a Mr. Flood, then a teacher in Lancaster, in the cause, and we called a meeting in the papers, without our signatures, inviting a!l teachers and friends of education to meet in the city of Lancaster on a certain day. The attend- ance was not Izurge, but all who appeared were of the right mind, and when I laid the subject before them, unanimously approved of it, cind a society was formed, called the " Lemcaster County Teachers' Lyceum," which thereafter met monthly, and from time to time increased in number. In order to extend its influences still further, and to enlist parents more seriously in the cause of education, I made it my duty to visit various parts of the county, and often addressed large audiences on the subject, both in English and German, and sometimes also delivered lectures on some interesting scientific subject. I also made it my duty, as often as I could spare time, to visit the schools around Litiz, with the view of imparting my experience to younger teachers. After some time I found myself a welcome visitor, and soon these and other teachers returned my visits, especially on Saturdays, an interchange which finally conduced to the end that for a number of years my establishment became during the months of August, September and October, a kind of Normal School, and continued thus until the Normal School at Millersville was established. \t was frequently remarked by those who noted my exertions, that I was injuring my own school, for they argued that with the improvement of other schools my own numbers must diminish. My reply invariably was, that without any fear of such a result, I considered it my duty to do so, for the benefit of so glorious a cause. After the Normal School at Millersville was opened, I no longer paid any attention to country schools, as ample provision was made for their furtherance. My great desire to contribute in some way or other to the promotion of moral and religious instruction conduced that I became interested in the various Sunday Schools in the neighborhood of Litiz ; and I may be permitted to say, that through my exertions, a number have been established, contrary to the opposition of the enemies of the cause. Many happy and blessed hours have I spent in the schools with parents and children. Concerning these visits and recurring Anniversaries, in various parts of Lancaster County, at which I was invited to speak, where often hundreds of people were assembled, I might give many pleasing incidents. I rejoice to know that under the blessing of God my labor has not been altogether in vain, and that I have made many favorable impressions, which I humbly hope and trust, will bear fruit for eternity. After several years of trial, it was found that the same system which I had introduced in the school-room, namely, a separation of the younger from [53 1 the older boys, must also be introduced in boarding them ; accordingly, in the year i 844, this arrangement was effected, and all the boys of the age of I 5 or over, who had until then boarded in private families, thenceforth boarded and lodged in the Academy building, a change which proved excellent in every respect, and in making the same, I may acknowledge with gratitude my good fortune in obtciining Mr. and Mrs. Francis Christ, to undertake the mauiage- ment thereof. The public examinations or entertainments formerly held were discontinued in the year I 838. Tfiose of you who were here in those times, will remember the large number of visitors who attended such occasions ; their discontinuation arose from the following valid reason. I for my part had become convinced that, however agreeable such occasions might prove to an audience, yet the preparation and excitement attendant thereon, proved a positive loss to the pupils, and that the valuable time thereby lost, could be more profitably spent m the ordinary educational routine ; besides this, they entailed an unnecessary expense upon parents. ''I was loth to change a cherished custom of long standing, such as this, fearing that the patrons of the school might disapprove of it, but I found myself mistaken in this particular, inasmuch eis I ascertained from conversation with them on the subject, that the greater portion held my own opinions concerning them, and they were accordingly discontinued without detriment to the patronage of the school, which has continued good ever since. I have no doubt all of you remember with pleasure our emnual excursions to the mountains for chestnuts, and the good dinners we enjoyed at Brickerville •on such occasions, as well as the pleasure rides to Columbia, Lancaster, &c., together with our Washington birthday celebrations sind fishing excursions. Those were, indeed, happy occasions, euid 1 often recall them eis the most joyfu! reminiscences of my school life. In reviewing the past history of the school, its humble beginning, and my imperfect qualifications at the time, as well as its extensive reputation, hcis often been a matter of surprise to me, and more so, as I never solicited any peurent for a pupil, nor ever inserted a single advertisement in ciny newspaper, soliciting patronage. It is certainly a remarkable circumstance, that 1 was instrumental in drawing so many boys to Litiz; find that I subsequently was pemutted to see the sons of memy of my pupils in my school. My pupils have comprised representatives from all parts of the Union, Cauiada emd the West Indies, while the year 1 864 to 1 865 has witnessed more numerous applications than ever previously. 1 rejoice to know that the greater part of those who have been entrusted to my care, and who are yet in the land of the living, are doing well *Besides this, he told Dr. Ziegler, of Mount Joy, that some fine, bright boys were so constituted that they could make no show at all-— quoted Nathan Blickenderfer as such a one. [54 1 an< d fill respectable situations. I do not ascribe this to my own labors, however I may have tried to develop the true qualities of manhood, and to foster the seeds of religion. No. To God. to Him to whom I have so often commended you, and on whom I have so often called to grant me wisdom and understanding, that I might instruct you aright, to Him be all the glory ! When I look around those of you whose whereabouts are withm the range of my actual knowledge, I find merchants, manufacturers, agriculturists, engineers, mechcuiics, ministers, lawyers, professors, officers of distmcbon m the army and navy, members of Congress and legislature, and in several mstances, those who have been sent by Government to foreign Courts. Among the many who have been here, John Gaehle, of Baltimore, was the only one who died at school, having been taken with the scarlet fever. 1 have no words to express my gratitude to God, now at the close of my teacher s career, that none of them lost their lives by accident or imprudence ; for, when I consider the heedlessness of some boys, their proneness to climb trees and otherwise expose themselves, what a wonder that all should have escaped as they did. Taking all circumstances into consideration, there was but little sickness, a blessing often made the subject of remark by many parents, as well as others who observed it. I think, however, that you will readily ascribe that in some measure to my continual vigilance over you, and the many and ort repeated instructions and admonitions given you in regard to health. 1 he late Dr. Hull, whom many of you knew well, used to say, " No doctor can expect to make money out of the school-boys so long as Mr. Beck has charge of them, for he is continually talking to them about their health." The number of male and female teachers who have assisted me at various periods during the half a century, consisted of fourteen male and lune female, as follows: Mr. John Rickert, Mr. George R. Barr, Augustus Christ, " Bernard De Schweinitz, " Elias Weller, Rev. Peter Wolle, Ferdinand Rickert, Miss Matilda Blickensderfer. Edwin Fetter, " Martha Beck, Charles Berg, " Angelica Reichel, William Hall, " Mary Heebner, " William L Bear. Mrs. Amelia Christ, George Hepp, " Joanna Beck, Adam Reidenbach. " Juliet Rickert, Abraham Beck, *' Ejnma Rickert. Mrs. Martha Hepp. The Rev. Peter Wolle and the ladies gave instruction in music 155] The whole number of pupils who were entrusted into my care during fifty years, is two thousand three hundred and twenty-six. And now my dear friends and pupils, allow me to close my letter, and to embrace the opportunity of bidding you ail farewell, on this day. May 3 1 , 1865, when 1 am about to close my career as a teacher. Once more do I express my best wishes for your temporal and spiritual welfare, which I assure you will ever attend you. May God bless you all, and grant that you and I may, after this life, meet again in the mansions of eternal bliss, to part no more~Oh ! that will be joyful, to meet to part no more. Your humble teacher, JOHN BECK. His father, John Martin Beck~a teacher, minister and doctor-was a native of Switzerland. His mother was Anna Joanna Grube. Apprenticed to Gottfried Traeger he became a shoemaker but never followed his trade. On the second of February 1 8 1 9 he married Joanna Augusta Reinke. At the Golden Anniversary of their wedding he gave a lovefeast, in the church to the congregation and a dinner to his descendants and nearest friends at the Springs Hotel. For his calling he was especially gifted ; excelling as a teacher, it was a pleasure as well as ein advantage to be taught by him, and to experience his influence for good was to many a boy a blessing. Of a cheerful disposition and a winning personality, simple-hearted and guileless, he had yet a remarkable sense of character, so that he could measure a boy almost as soon as he first saw him. Impartially faithful to his pupils, whether they were of high or low estate, bright or dull ; scorning the use of sarcastic speech to a defenceless lad ; readily giving his kind word of commendation when it was deserved, and bringing to the settlement of difficulties in discipline a superb degree of tact, he won the absolute confidence of his patrons and the lasting love of his boys. The whole number of his pupils during fifty years was 2326. His activity, however, was not limited to his own educationaJ routine. The public schools of the place and the adjacent country, the Sunday Schools here and elsewhere, claimed his attention always ; cind ever appreciative of the beautiful, he planted, at his own expense, a great many of the trees that now yield their grateful shade in our Springs Park. His long and useful life, through wliich he never fauled to recognize his Heavenly Father's guidance, was perfectly rounded out by the voluntary assistance he gave, until within two weeks of his decease, in his son's private school for boys. He died February II, 1873 having exceeded the Biblical allotment of three score and ten by almost thirteen years. [56 1 KhwxtxummU [57 Sltttt^ COMPILED OCTOBER 25, 1905.

HUEBENER Lititz with its picturesque streets, its beautiful surrounding country, its century-old Moravian Church with its unique ceremonies and Linden Hall Seminary for girls, beautiful Spring Grounds with its healthy water, its varied industries, its hospitable people and its glorious "Fourth of July" celebrations attracts many thousands of visitors every year. Traveling men, parents and friends of the Seminary scholars, relations and friends of the inhabitants, picnickers, sight-seers and leisure hunters, all come here with the subtle feeling that they will see something entirely out of the ordinar}'. Something to relieve their eyes of the tiresome city-street con- ventionality ; their ears and nerves of the hustle, noise and clatter of their business and home surroundings — and they find it. They find Lititz an ideal spot, virtually a flower garden in the midst of the wood and fiel^. They also find here a little Bretzel that is so different from ordinary city pretzels — so much better. They may have thought before that pretzels were not very good and were only intended to eat with beer in the saloons, but when they eat the Bretzels made here they find them positively ' good to eat ' and dainty enough for the most discriminating taste. Situated along the path leading into the beautiful Spring Grounds stands the bakery of the " Lititz Bretzel Company" with its stately row of ovens and chimneys, where these delicious Bretzels are made. As visitors approach it the}' ' sniff ' the baking Bretzels — unconsciously their stomachs begin to feel empty and their mouths water. The inherent desire to eat some of these Bretzels that smell so good, leads their footsteps into the bakery doors, then — a taste of those delicately crisp, deliciously flavored little 'twists of dough,' and they realize immediately that Lititz truly and justly deserves its name — " Bretzel Town." Invariably they give vent to an exclamation of delight at the surpassing goodness, the delicate brown color with the sprinkling of clean white salt, and the clean, pure and appetizing appearance of the delicious Bretzels. But then the questions flow! Do 5'ou ship them? Could we get a small quantity shipped to us and would they be fresh ? Why can't we get them in our town ? The answer is simple — YOU CAN ! The Bretzels are packed in hermetically sealed cartons of two sizes, retailing at 10c and 15c, which keep the Bretzels clean and fresh, and they can be shipped anj'where. If you will tell your Grocer, Confectioner, Druggist, or Department store that we have a special proposition to make them by which they may try an order of these Bretzels at OUR risk, and get them to write us, we know from experience with other customers, that they will sell a lot ofour Bretzels and will order frequently. You will then be able to get fresh Bretzels at any time. If you will try to interest 3'our dealer in handling " Huebener's Famous Lititz Bretzels," and we .succeed in making a sale to him, we will reward your efforts with our Bretzels to the value of 1 dozen 10c cartons. Tell him of the superior qualities of these Bretzels and the special prop- osition we will make him, and then write us giving us his name and address and we will send j^ou by return mail a beautiful souvenir picture of Lititz Springs, and if the dealer orders some Bretzels we will send you 12 coupons, each good for 10c value in " Huebener's Famous Lititz Bretzels " at his store.

We want you to weigh well our claim for " H. H. H.", that world-famous liniment. Seems a strange neime, doesn't it ? Well you know what's said about a name — a rose by any other would smell as sweet. Just so with H. H. H. It would do its work as well under any one of ten thousand other possible names. But then none of these others might be as unusual, and therefore effective because " catchy." And so H. H. H. it is and H. H. H. it will be to the end of the chapter, as 'least as long as men and women suffer from aches and pains for which they want an infallible liniment. Now we admit that it does seem a great deal to claim for H. H. H. that it is the very best of all. Yet we do it, because we believe in the stuff. " Dinna let your modesty wrang ye," is a Scotch proverb we also believe in. Misplaced modesty is foolishness. There's a time for everything, and for modesty among the rest. But not when you've got the best thing of its kind under heaven. That's the time to talk out as loudly as you know how, and let everybody know about it. And so we sound a trumpet before H. H. H. and praise it as an unrivalled embrocation for bruised places, sore joints, swollen places and everything else of the kind. It is the result of years of patient research and experiment by D. Dodge Tomlinson, and is no " fake " nostrum, but a thoroughly first-class combination. Thousands of people have tried it, and its genuine worth has been demonstrated in many a severe case of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Backache, Lame Muscles, Sore Throat, Toothache, Cramps, etc. Careful attention to directions and the exercise of your own common sense will soon teach you how and when to use it to the very best advantage. AS A HORSE MEDICINE It is not often you can get a liniment that is strong enough for use on horses without being too strong for human beings. Here is a strong point in favor of H. H. H. It can be used on both man and beast. As a horse liniment it has no equal. Its effects are simply wonderful. It is a SURE CURE for all the diseases of " man's best friend" among the lower animals for which it is recommended, Soft Spavins, Callous Lumps, Windgalls, Sweeney, Fistula, Thrush, Contracted Hoofs, Ring- bone, Splint, Curb, Distemper, vSwollen Tendons, Lumps and Enlarge- ments arising from an}' cause whatever — all these have been found, in actual practice to 3'ield to the remarkable virtties of the justl}' celebrated remed}-. It is put up in 25c, 50c and $1.00 sizes. Also in full quart bottles at $3.00 each. IF your druggist does not have it, you can send direet to the manufacturer. . D.

It is sold for one profit only---at ex- atftly the price your dealer pays for his 5c goods.

The Goo-Goo is sold under the same condi- tions as the Sunday's Be^--- one profit only — direct to the smoker. It is made of a clean, sweet cut filler, Sunday Best cut- lings, and wrapped with a thoroughly seasoned Con- necticut wrapper.

Public opinion — and public opinion alone, decides all things — has accredited Ideal Cocoa and Chocolates a standard which can be established only by perfection in the art of chocolate making. That's the reason they are so popular all over the country. Dealers handle them because they are a remarkable mercantile pow^er. Consumers buy them because they are good — and goodness is the underlying principle of aJl chocolates that are popular. This, together with careful attention to customers and con- servative business methods, has made a place for the IdeaJ Cocoa and Chocolate Co. in a few years, that is to be envied, even by some of the oldest established houses.

[ 104] Barrels of Air Burned as Fuel New Remarkable Stove, Ohioan's Great Invention, Con- sumes 395 Barrels of Air to One Gallon of Common Kerosene Oil Making Oil Gas This invention has been fully protected in the U. S. Patent Office and is tnown as the Harrison Valveless, Wickless Automatic Oil Gas Generator. Analytic Laboratory of William C. Fctsch, Consulting and Analytic Chemist, 2530 W. 6th Street Cincinnati, Ohio, May 2nd, 1904. Thk World Manufacturing Co., City — Gentlemen: By experiment and calculation I find that one U. S. yallon Kerosene Oil when burned in the Harrison Oil-Gas Stove furnishes 127.4 cubic feet of combustible gas. It requires 1535 cubic feet of air to completelj' burn this amount of gas and give a blue flame. Hence one gallon Kerosene furnishes 1662.4 cubic feet or 12,435 gallons or 2,872,627 cubic in. of fuel gas, containing proper proportions of air for burning ; the ratio of air to gas being 11.8 parts of air to 1 part of gas. To give some idea as to the space this gas would occupy, it would fill 395 barrels, each containing 31 >2 gallons, or 197 j4 hogsheads, or would occupy a space the dimensions of which would be 10x10x16.62 ft. Respectfully submitted, WlLI^IAM C. FETSCH. W. E. Cameron, 1211 Somerset street, Philadelphia, says: Asa practical mechanic I have never had much confidence in oil burning contrivances, but after a six weeks' exhaustive test of your blue flame stove I have changed my mind. The best thing of all about it is that it is a mechanical impossibility for an explosion or fire to occur from it. Manhkim, Pa., July 10, 1905. I have bought and thoroughly tested one of the Harrison Valveless, Wickless, Automatic Oil-Gas Generators and can say it does all the manufac- turers claim for it. It gives entire satisfaction. Mrs. Annie Balmer, Mrs. Charles F. Herber, Miami L. Perveil. I have samples of these generators or stoves, as they are usually called, on hand and would be pleased to exhibit their merits to all interested. The prices are right. SOLD ON TEN DAYS' TRIAL.

Temple, President Because it bases all premiums on the cost of insurance — this cost does not include the banquets and ' 'what nots" of grafting officials. Because it has the bankers' idea of AMPLE SECURITY for the per- formance of every contract entered into, thus avoiding the great weak- ness of fraternal insurance. This se- curity consists of a guarantee and reserve fund amounting to S% millions. Because back of the Bankers is the State of Iowa, which holds all its securities. Because the membership is select- ed with great care— every applicant has to be approved by a local banker. Because the company is repu- table — a recommendation which speaks volumes when you consider the methods that are used by some " old line" concerns. ' ' For more than fifteen years the "Bankers" of Des Moines, Iowa, has proven itself worthy of my con- fidence, patronage and recommenda- tion because of its economic, trust- worthy and reputable business methods."

For Men Our underwear is an article of quality, and appeals to men who appreciate a good wearing garment. Its particular excellence is in the remarkable elasticity of the fabric we use. It always maintains that same elegant silky feel and easy, com- fortable fit from first to last. By a special process our colored underwear is guaranteed not to stain, but will hold its color permanently. Our garments are made in various sizes, weights and colors. A FEW FACTS FROM OUR HISTORY Our existence dates from 1898. When we zvere jive year^ otd^l903 — 07ir buildings were considerably enlarged, and re- enlarged by the addition of a dye-house, in 1905 . We now use 21,000 square feet of floor space, and a groiving business necessitates additio7ial space. We have our own electric light system, and manufactute our ozvn boxes. Customers on the books in 1898 are still doing business rvith us. [127] Muth Martin, pupil. 2 1 6 S. Broad. Frederick. Sarah. Henry. Myers Rev. John, retired farmer, 107 S. Broad.

Is the Cheapest and Best in America It Is ground and Kiln Dried by a Patent Process. It is new and selected corn. It takes less meal to stir up a mush. It takes less lard and less time to fry it. There is no breaking in cutting or frying it. Three pounds of this meal will make 1 8 pounds of mush. It takes but 30 minutes to boil it. Sold wholesale and retail. All orders promptly filled. Meal exchanged for corn at all times. At lafl, at laSl, and this is true, I pearl the corn and roa^ it too; That makes the Standard meal so bright and clear, And there is nothing to interfere. The Standard Ccrn Meal is the beS; This que^on now is at refl. Hundreds are ready to teflify. That it is the beil of all, to cook and fry. The Standard Corn Meal is the beSl; It has virtue — give it a tefl. 't is pure and it is sweet. And better to eat Than the bitter and sad. And you will want none that is bad. ''Give me the Standard Corn Meal." Says the cook; "It slices without breaking. And fries quick, with a little baking; And takes so little lard That it does good to my heart.' Do away with your prejudice. You millers, you farmers, you all. Do justice to yourself, and call The Standard the befl. In the East and the WeS, The North and the South Will soon be aroused. Bring the water to a boil before stirring in the meal. Inquire at your flour, feed and grocery stores, and be sure of getting the Standard Meal, then you will get the worth of your money every time. Beware of fraud on meal.

As an evidence of ability send some one's handwriting with 25 cents and I'll read you that person's character. An energetic young man who has inclinations for occult sci- ence and its mysteries can secure employment as an as- sistant, or may buy my entire paraphernalia at a reasonable price, as old age demands my retirement.

[182 ®I|r TJtUag? of Warmtrk NTIL the twentieth of August, 1 754, when the legal transfer of the property of George Klein to the Unity of the Brethren was made the history of Warwick and Lititz is largely common. After the above date, members of other denominations, the Moravians not allowing anyone to settle on their property not a Moravian, formed a settlement adjoining the Moravian tract on the north. This settlement was called Warwick after the town- ship in which it is located. Records concerning the early history of Warwick are scarce. Between the years 1811 and 1813 a syndicate consisting of Charles Monteluis, a Mr. Hibshman and others, bought the tract of land upon which the town was situated from the administrators of Nicholas Stroh, and laid the town off in lots, concerning the sale of which the following advertise- ment appeared in the Lancaster Journal July 16, 1813. Town of Warwick The subscriber has recently laid out a tract of land into 1 5 3 lots in Warwick township, Lancaster county, fifty perches north from the village of Litiz, which he purposes selling by way of lottery at 125 dollars each, to be paid on delivery of the titles. No. 1,116 feet, 6 inches front, on Litiz street, by 363 feet deep — on which are a large two-story limestone house with a cellar under it, and a never-failing pump before the door ; and a number of bearing apple trees, valued, at a moderate calculation, at 4000 dollars. No. 2,115 feet, 6 inches front, on said street, by 280 feet, 6 inches deep, with a beautiful log barn, and a number of bearing apple trees, worth, on a low calculation, 1 000 dollars. No. 135, contains half an acre of ground, lying between West Front street and South Alley, with a beautiful log dwelling house, worth at a low rate, 800 dollars. Also 1 5 lots, containing each about half an acre, of first rate timber land, each worth 200 dollars. Likewise 6 lots, containing each half an acre of first rate ground for cultivation. And 26 other lots, containing from l-4th to 3-4ths of an acre each— their respective numbers and contents as per plan. The remainder are building lots, 66 feet front by 1 8 feet, 6 inches deep, all having the advantage of streets and alleys, handsomely intersected at right angles, and the ground being level and well adapted for building. [183 1 A lawful title will be neatly executed on parchment, by the subscriber, with sufficient security against all legal claims if required, excepting only the fees for said titles, which shall not exceed 3 dollars and 50 cents. The subscriber reserves all the rails and standing timber in the public streets and alleys for his own use. The lottery will be drawn as soon as 2-3rds, or the whole of the" certif- icates are sold, on the premises in the town of Warwick, and under the direction of such disinterested persons as the purchasers of certificates may choose to appoint. Warwick is handsomely and conveniently situated on and adjoining Ltiitz, that well-known village ; and the turnpike road from Marietta and New Holland turnpike, will probably pass through this town, which will be commenced as soon as the necessary arrangements are made. CHARLES MONTELIUS. July 9, 1813. 8-3q That this sale was successful is indicated by the following notice which appeared in the same paper August 6th of the same year. Town of Warwick The holders of certificates for lots in the town of Warwick are requested to meet at Christian Hall's Tavern in the town of Lititz, on Saturday the 2.1st of August, 1 8 I 3, at 1 Oo'clock, in the forenoon, for the purpose of appointing managers to conduct the drawing. CHARLES MONTELIUS. August 6. 12-3rq In 1836 when the town consisted of a two-story stone house, three two- story brick houses, seven two-story frame houses and six one-story frame houses. David Miller, sheriff of Lancaster, County, seized the entire tract amounting to sixty-six acres and thirty-five perches and sold it to Frederick Zitzman to satisfy a claim of the Stroh estate, for the sum of six thousand nine hundred dollars. Zitzman afterward sold the property to David Bricker who represented the property holders who had origionally bought their lots from Charles Montelius. The original plan of the town as laid out by Montelius had made pro- visions for a large square where Center joins Market ; this square was to be used as a site for a market house, when the town attains sufficient size to require one. Parts of this square as well as the alleys north of Market street have since been vacated, and Center and Market streets narrowed, thus greatly marring the original plans. The children of the village attended what used to be "Hubers" school house, which, as remembered by several of our citizens, was a tumble down one- story log building used for school purposes during the winter months, and as a [184] dwelling house during the summer. The brick building familiar to most of us subsequently took the place of the log house and continued as the village schoo! until 1885 when the building now known as Warwick No. 1, was erected to supply additional educational facilities. Another school house was erected m 1892 known as Warwick No. 2, which is occupied by the primary grades while the higher grade pupils are instructed in Warwick No. I. "Hubers" continued to be used as a school house until recently when its use as such was discontinued and it was changed into a dwelling house. Nicholas Stroh was probably the first innkeeper in the village. According to an old story he conducted a public house during the Revolutionary War ; being a Tory the place became headquarters for the Tories m the neighbor- hood of which there were quite a number. His wife, daughter of Jacob Huber who lived on the farm now occupied by Christian Snyder a mile north of town, was a staunch patriot, and suspecting that secret meetings were being held m the barn by her husband ar.d his Tory friends, she secreted herself one night in the hay-mow, and learned details of treasonable plans that were afoot. The next morning she confronted her husband and the gang in the bar-room, tcid them that upon an attempt to carry out their plans or hold any more meetings she would inform her father, who would have them arrested fcr treason, and the whole gang would he hung. The threat of the plucky woman had its effect. She broke up the Tory meetings. The Warwick House, one of the oldest hostelries in northern Lancaster County, dates its existence from I 8 1 4, or as another story has it from, 1 809. During the tim.e Levi Kerr per was its proprietor the hotel was known as the Kemper Honse, but this was changed to its present name, the Warwick House, by H. H. Snavely in 1 890. Jno. S. Badorf is the present proprietor. Another hotel was conducted for some years in the house now occupied by Mrs. Hoffman, corner of N. Broad and Orange Streets by Henry A. Zug, who erected the first live stock scales in the vicinity. The first store in the village was opened in 1814 by Peter Bricker ; after his death it was conducted by his son David Bricker, father of Major Jno. R. Bricker. The second store was started soon afterwards by Charles A. Kreider, a tailor, m the house now occupied by John Zeigler. Leonard Markley was the proprietor of a large coverlet factory in the house now occupied by Peter Bruner, in the lower part of which Frank Rauch carried on the business of locksmith, at about the same time. What was probably the largest industry that Warwick ever had was carried on by Christian Rauch who burned lime on an extensive scale where N. G. Yerger & Co. are now manufacturing cement building blocks. Rauch's first occupa- tion was that of a stocking weaver. All his life he was a great reader, and 1185 1 published in 1810a text book on arithmetic, "Des "Deutschen ^auers und Landmanns Rechenbuch, und des Schul-lehrers Gehulfe." A scythe-snath factory was conducted by Henry Rickert on Market street on the property now owned by John Ziegler. In 1867 Capt. J. F. Diehm and Linnaeus Shelly under the firm name of Diehm & Shelley con- ducted a general store in the house now occupied by Willieim Stoner. In 1876 Mr. Shelly withdrew from the firm and since 1880 is conducting a store on the corner of Front Street and South Alley. Mr. Diehm sold out after several years. William Stoner conducted a store in the building he now occupies, formerly occupied by- Diehm & Shelley, in 1 884 and continued it until 1892. Phares Bollinger started a store recently in Newer Warwick. Among its other industries the village has severed cigau: factories, a blacksmith- shop and a factory for the meinufacture of cement building blocks. Edward H. Rauch founder of "Father Abraham" and author of the " Pete Schroefflbrermer" stories which ran serially in the above publication, was a native of Warwick having been born in the house now occupied by Levi N. Brubaker. Mr. Rauch was a famous hamdwriting expert. He died a few years ago at Mauch Chunk. Alderman Lewis Rauch of Lanceister and Congressman Ancona of Reading also are natives of Warwick, having been born in the house where Mrs. Hoffman now lives. The inhabitants of Warwick, including Newer Warwick, number about seven hundred. 86 ^ Utttti aa a liuairal (^mtvt By ELSIE WEST RULON O those readers who are interested in music a few facts concerning the musical history of Lititz will be welcome. These facts be- came known to the writer through a delightful little speech made by Mr. Abraham Beck at an oyster supper given to the Linden Hall Symphony Club. In connection with the present musical activity in Lititz Mr. Beck referred to the traditioncil association of music with the early Moravian settlements at Bethlehem and Lititz ; and much to the writer's surprise he took us back (in imagination) to the year 1 765 in Lititz, when the first church orchestra was organized by Bernaurd Adam Grube. In 1 79 1 George Gottfried Mueller was the leader of the church orchestra, during his stay at the Brethren's House as its "Pfleger." Upon one occasion "Brother Mueller was quickly recalled from Lancaster because a certain Herr (John) Randolph, ELx-Govemor of Virginia, cind now Att'y Gen'l of the United States who came here yesterday evening on his way to Philadelphia to visit us, wished to hear our music " (Brethren's House Diary, May 20, 1791). In 1812 there was a village band in Lititz, so well known for its excel- lence that it was much in demand by neighboring towns, for special occasions. At this period the sentiment of the Lititz people was rather against the use of a "drum," as a very "worldly " instrument. But some of the "young bucks " were so eager for this rythmic accompaniment that they constructed an instru- ment out of a big box, with some raw hide stretched across the top, upon which they beat with big paddles. In order not to shock the good town-peo- ple this so-called "drum " was taken out to Miller's woods, and there the young men revelled in the sounds they were able to produce upon it. The Lititz band was engaged to play in Lancaster about 1 824 when Lafayette made a visit to that city. And thereby hangs another tale, of the woe that came to the bassoon player. The band spent the night at the hotel then known as the Cooper House, and it happened that there was a private dance going on there, and a lively one too. The bassoon player thoughtlessly left his instrument in the parlor ; and the next morning he appeared at breakfast with a "rueful countenance," and the fragments of his bassoon, which had evidently been used as a weapon (or weapons !) in a lively scrimmage. [187] Again in 1834 when the Lancaster and Columbia railroad was formally opened, and the Governor and his staff made the first trip over the road, it was the Lititz band that furrished msic for the occasion. It seems that they rode on top of the cars, for there is a tradition to the effect that the "serpent player" received a very hard knock on his head in going under a bridge — and he was only too glad to find that his head had not been taken off entirely. When the Oratorio of the "Creation" was given for the first time in Philadelphia they actually sent to Lititz for two or three "fiddle players," a very significant compliment to the little Moravian settlement. The "Creation" was given in Lititz in 1838. The Rev. Chas. F. Kluge was principal of Linden Hall at that time, and he undertook and earned it through. The orchestra which took part in this performance was the Philharmonic Society, under the direction of Professor Spiegler, v^^ho was in charge of the Music Department at the school. He was a fine cello player himself. Among the members of the Philharmonic Society were Miss Clara Frueauff and Madame Bechler, who played piano duets. During the writer's school-days at Linden Hall, Professor Schaeberle organized a school orchestra, which was the immediate forerunner of the first Symphony Club. At present there are three musical organizations in Lititz, the present L. H. S. Symphony Club, the Lititz Band, (a fine organization and as much in demand as the origional one) both under the direction of Mr. Paul Beck ; also a Sunday school orchestra under the leadership of Mr. George L. Hepp. [The St. Paul Lutheran Sunday School also has an excellent orchestra directed by Mr. Theodore Zeller. — Ed.] So that it can be very honestly and positively said that at the present time Lititz is maintaining its musical traditions and living up to them. And so we are enabled to see in part at least how the reputation for genuine musical culture has grown up around this time-honored spot. All honor to Lititz for its good part in the advancement of the Art of Music— L/nc/en Hall Echo, June, 1905. 188 By PAUL E. BECK HE orchestra known as the Symphony Club came into existence in 1 890 under the following circumstances : Prof.J. F. Schaeberle, then head of the Music Department at Linden Hall, had decided to supplement the work of his more advanced pupils by an analytical study of some of the best known symphonies and to this end had the works rehearsed and perform- ed by four of the girls at a time — using two pianos for the purpose. The young ladies became enthusiastic and to make it more interesting he joined them, playing the 1 st violin part from the score. At this early stage there was no thought of public performance, all the work being pursued simply with a view to a closer acquaintance with the great masterpieces of music. But it occured to the professor that these studies might be much enhanced by having some of the other orchestral parts represented and when he broached the project to the class the girls at once evinced a most cordial approval. Speaking to several local musicians on the subject he received a hearty response and thus, recruiting his forces also from among the most proficient of his private pupils, he brought together a body of ladies and gentlemen who took the name of the Symphony club. The membership of this first orchestra, so far as I remember it, was : Pianos : Misses Pauline Cooper, Lucy Brickenstein, Mary Reichel, Sue Scheibler and Kate French; 1st Violin, Prof. Schaeberle; 2nd Violin, H. { Beck ; Viola, E. Schaeberle ; Violoncello, A. R. Beck ; Contra Bass, P. Beck; Flute, S. F. VanVleck ; Clarinet, A. Smith ; French Horns, W. A. Tobias, L. Schaeberle ; Trombone, J. A. Miksch. The Club continued and thrived until the professor left Lititz in 1895- Now and then members dropped out and new ones entered, but the study went on and proved of the very highest educational value hom a musical standpoint. At that time there was held during each year a regular series of soirees and musicales — evening entertainments in which all the pupils participated. It was upon these occasions that the Symphony club appeared. There was no thought of a regular concert with paid admission. We had no expenses [189 1 to meet. Prof. Schoeberle did absolutely all the work — furnished the expen- sive scores, copied endless parts and even supplied some of the players with their instruments. Excepting that of the pianos, all the music was played from manuscript and I have often recalled with intense admiration the unbounded zeal which prompted our leader to personally copy all those parts from the scores. He set us an example by a tremendous energy which he habitually threw into his work. The most serious criticism of the policy pursued at that time lay in the fact that while the works attempted were admirable for private practice, they were in nearly every case far too heavy for our meager resources when looked upon as finished performances. And that we innocently enjoyed our revels and congratulated one another upon the feats of our little band, rather indicated that we did perhaps, rush in where more experienced musicians had feared to tread. When I think, for example, of our immature double bass player not only handling, but actually regaling himself with the remarkable part written for his instrument in the "thunderstorm" movement of Beethoven's magnificent Pastoral Symphony, I cannot but admire the unlimited nerve so indicative of the spirit of the entire orchestra. When Prof. Schaeberle severed his connection with the seminary the club disbanded but was reorganized in 1 903 by Miss Rulon, the present head of the music department. The orchestra as it exists to-day has a membership of twenty-six, all thoroughly enthusiastic in its advancement. Rehearsals are held every Thurs- day evening and public concerts, at which a soloist (usually from Philadelphia) h engaged to appear, are played monthly in the music room. The instrumentation is as follows: Pianos, Misses W. Armstrong, A- Butzer, M. Eckert, M. Groff, G. Lingerfleld, C. Oerter, Marie Stewart, B. VanVleck, E. W. Rulon; 1st Violins, Messrs H. H. Beck, C. Loeffler, M. Baker, T. Haisch ; 2nd Violins, Mr. J. Zahm, Miss M. Stoner, Mr. L. Grossman' Mr. H. Stark ; Viola, Mr. C. Amer ; Violoncello, Mr. A. R. Beck ; Contra- bass, Mr. B. Lutz ; Flute, Mr. J. J. Huebener ; Clarinet, Mr. R. Byerly ; I Cornet, Mr. H. C. Gingrich ; II Cornet, Mr. A. Butzer ; Trombone, Mr. C. Hackman ; Drum, Mr. L. Sturgis ; Conductor, Mr. P. E. Beck. — Linden Hall (Scho, June, 1905. 190 of ICtttt2 1 74 1 — Count Zinzendorf, with his daughter Benigna came to America. He visited various Indian tribes, accompanied by several brethren and V sisters. At Schecenneco he established the first Indian Moravian Con- gregation in America. 1 742 — December, Count Zinzendorf held religious services in Warw^ick, at the house of Jacob Huber. This service was the first held by a "^ Moravian in the vicinity of Lititz. 1 744 — A log church was built on George Klein's land at the instance of Rev. Lawrence Nyberg, a Lutheran minister hom Sweden stationed at Lancaster. This church was called St. James Church. 1 745 — At a Moravian Synod held in the court house at Lancaster a number of awakened souls in Warwick presented a request for a resident pastor. Rev. Daniel Neibert and his wife, from Philadelphia were sent to them. 1 746 — Rev. LawTence Nyberg was suspended from the ministry owing to his independent course and the character of his preaching. He opened his pulpit to various itinerant Moravian ministers, and finally, with the greater part of his flock he united with the Moravian Church. September, a meeting was held at George Klein's house to consider the question of building a school and meeting house. The unanimous conclusion was that each should contribute towards building a Gemein- haus to serve as a dwelling for the ministers and a school and meeting house. Klein donated 3 3-4 acres of land for this purpose (now the I property of Mr. Clement Badorf). I 1 747 — March 29. The corner-stone of the Qemeinhaus was laid by Revs. Nyberg and Neibert. 1 748 — May 24. Leonard Schnell, successor of Rev. Neibert, began the school with four boys and three girls. August 1 1 . The first lovefeast was held in the new Gemeinhaus by Bishop Nathaniel Seidel, of Bethlehem. September 4. The first Wednesday evening services were held. November 1 3. George Klein and Leonard Bender who lived on the Conestoga, were received into the communion of the Moravian Church. They were the first to be so received in the colony. [191] I 749 — February 9. Bishop Spangenberg assisted by others, dedicated the J Gemeinhaus and organized the " Warwick Country Congregation." The first communion in this building was celebrated on this day. November 20-24. A Provincial Synod was held in WarvN'ick, the V. fourth Synod of the Brethren's Church in America. 1 75 1 — September 5. The first marriage in the Congregation took place, that of Peter Ricksecker, of Donegal, to the widow Barbara Post. 1753 — November 7. On the occasion of the burial of Michael Erb in the St. James Church graveyard the plan was begun of dividing the ground into sections, so that those of the same sex and "class" might be interred together, a custom which is still adhered to by the older Moravian con- gregations. December 9. Bishop Peter Boehler organized a "society" composed of persons, who while not members of the Warwick church desired to be under its pastoral charge, and entitled to the privileges of its ordin- ary and special services. I 754 — October 7. Bishop Spangenberg organized the church council,* George Klein and Valentine Grosh being elected stewards, an office corresponding to that of trustee at the present time. August 20. The legal transfer of the property of George Klein to the Unity of the Brethren was made. 1 755 — August 1 8. Bishop Hehl was selected by lot as the general superin- tendent of the country congregations. He took up his residence in Klein's stone house, which was commonly called thereafter the Pilger- haus. 1 756 — June 12. Letters were received from Count Zinzendorf in which he gave the name "Lititz" to the new settlement after the Barony of Lititz in Bohemia. August 2 1 . The old house that stood at the head of the great spring was removed to a point, as the church diary states, "between the school house (the original Gemeinhaus) and Heil's " (Jacob Heil). This house was to be the home of the workmen who were to erect the proposed grist mill. 1 757 — January 10. George Klein concluded the purchase of a small piece of land below Jacob Heil's on which John Bender's sons had buih a saw mill. The grist and saw-mill was to be built on this tract. 1 757— February 9, The town was surveyed and laid out in lots. February 1 2-22. The mill site was finally determined upon. On the 1 3th the felling of trees began ; and quarrying began on the 22d. April 1 8. An agreement was made to build a house, upon taking up [192 1 The first house of Litilz, built by George Klein, in 1754. From that year until! 761 it served the purpose of a (,\';//r!?i/iaus, (meeting place and parsonage). Also called the /'i/ocj/ni/ts. 1761-1763, the congregation store and tavern, kept by Andrew Horn. 1765-1804 owned and occupied by David Tannenberg, the organ builder.

Brother Francke went to Lancaster to get the loan of household utensils and furniture for use during the approaching synod., A formal organization of the choir and orchestra took place this year and a collection was taken thereafter regularly for the purchase of instru- ments and music. 1 769 — March. A smallpox epidemic broke out prevailing mostly among the children, so that the girls' school was closed for several months. April. A vault for the reception of dead bodies until the funeral was built under the steps of the Qemeinhaus. (Such an arrangement was probably occasioned by the smallness or crowded condition of the dwelling houses in many instances). The builder's body, (Christian Sproge) was the first to be deposited in the "corpse chapel" a month later. 1770 — September 28. A church council resolved that each householder should lay a pavement of some kind before his house. Dec. 3.

A public advertisement having summoned all the freeholders of this county to meet at Lancaster on the ninth for an election of a committee and deputies to Congress in Philadelphia, a meeting was held with all our freeholders to consult what should be our position in the serious conjuncture which has arisen between the colonies and the mother country. The conclusion reached was that brother Horn should be our representative ; that we would seek to be quiet and not permit party spirit to come up among us ; and that we will answer those who wish to know our feelings that we desire peace to be maintained. (The Moravians, like their neighbors the Dunkards and Mennonites, were non-jurors and non-combatants and had been recognized as such by the British Parliament.) July 20. A printed notice was received that at the meeting of free- holders in Lancaster it had been resolved in order to assist the army in Boston, that a collection should be taken up in this county in order to purchase supplies for it, and that a collector would shortly arrive to receive our contributions. After a good deal of discussion in the coun- cil it was at last determined that each brother should give or not give as he felt disposed, or had the means, and that no brother should enter into any argument with the collector concerning his giving or not giving, for we will not make cause with either party. December 26. Today the organ lately built by brother Tanne- berger (it has twenty registers) for the Lutheran church at Lancaster^ was consecrated. — Dr. Adam Kuhn was here several days ago to ask that our trombone players might assist on this occasion.

In a council meeting attention was drawn to the meas- ures adopted by Congress regarding the use of tea, which is now strictly enforced throughout the land.

Bishop Seidel wrote from Bethlehem that in the present serious times it became us to remain inactive, but that because of our conscientious convictions regarding going to war and bearing arms a declaration had been presented to Congress through Benjamin Franklin which had been favorably received. June I 1 . The two township communities have appointed a meeting at the inn and have asked for the appointment of six advisory members, the purpose being to promote peace, quiet and equality among the inhabitants of the township, and to prevent and put down any disturb- [196 1 ances of the peace which may occur or be threatened. Brother Horn was chosen as one of the members. July 29, Congress and the Assembly having ordered that non-associ- ators, i. e. those who refuse to bear arms, shall contribute in money to the expenses of the country, the brethren David Tanneberger, of Lititz, and Christopher Frey, from the country members, were appointed collectors. August 5. The military company of the township had chosen Lititz as their place to drill, which they did on the Lancaster road near the inn. Everythmg passed off m good order. October 14. The township company, after their drill, made such a disturbance that further drills here were forbidden. November 25. The grist mill was destroyed by lire early in the morning. Over one thousand bushels of grain were destroyed — a great loss. (It was immediately rebuilt of stone.) ( 1776 — The diary, without going into particulars, mentions that a spirit of seducement found entrance into the church, was discovered and re- moved. It was, no doubt, occasioned by the political excitement of the times. Mention is also made of the rise in prices and scarcity of many necessities of life. During this year the membership decreased by fifty-five. 1 777 — For this year when the country was passing through the most gloomy part of the war the diary chronicles nothing but the regular events of the church. 1778 — From December 19th of the previous year until August 28th of this year, a hospital for about two hundred sick and wounded American soldiers was established in the Brethren's House, which had to be vacated for the purpose, and various officers and doctors were quarter- ed in houses in the village, (The following: Payne's, now Wolle's, House, Tannenberg's the Peter Reist building, Blickendoerfer's, the old post office building, Geitner's, now Workman's saddler shop, and the whole of the Tshudy house, part of the Linden Hall grounds, were so occupied.) The brethren and older boys meanwhile took up quarters in the school house and the store. The wea\dng shop, smithy and the kitchen, were continued. Camp fever broke out soon after the establishment of the hospital, many were infected and four of the villagers died, among them one of the pastors of the church. (The four were as follows: Pastor John Jacob Schmick, who preached faithfully to the wretched soldiery, Catharina Blickensderfer, Henry Oerter, the village blacksmith, Christopher Pohl, the brethren's cook.) M97] 1778 — Familiarity with the soldiers had an injurious influence, especially upon the youth of the village, the effects of which were experienced for many years. Over one hundred of the soldiers died. They were buried in a field to the east of the village. No traces of these graves remain. Dr. Allison who had the chief direction of the hospital, pre- served the best order, and kept the people from molestation. In August a report reached the village that the whole town was to be vacated and used for a general hospital. A deputation from the Bethlehem authorities waited on General Washington who directed them to consult with Dr. Shippen, the genera! director of the hospitals, who was stationed at Manheim at the time. A written memorial was addressed to him, to which he replied in very friendly terms, saying that he would spare us as much as possible, and that he saw no pros- pect at that time of any such step becoming necessary, in which case he would first consult with us. The Test Act, which required the abjuring of the king, his heirs and successors, and an oath of allegiance to the new government, under penalty of imprisonment, confiscation and banishment, became a source of anxiety. Bishop Etwein presented a petition to Congress which was then in session at York, for a release from the abjuration. He was favorably received and dismissed with a letter to the Pennsylvania Assembly in session at Lancaster, which on May 27th adopted the following report conceming the Etwein petition : "Although the As- sembly cannot grant the petition m the way in which it is intended, the House is, nevertheless, ready and willing to grant the petitioners every encouragement and protection in their power which may appear con- sistent with the duty they owe their constituents and the welfare ot the United States of America." The diary further describes the painful discovery that was made that twelve of the adult members and a large number of the young men had, before the resolution of the Assembly was published, secretly X taken the test oath, a step in which they had been in great part per- suaded by the officers emd soldiers quartered here. Several of the brethren were ordered to join the militia soon after, and u{)on present- ing themselves on "bail day" in order to procure exemption, they were asked if they had taken the test oath to which their reply wais made that they had not ; nothing more was said to them and they were not again molested. The hospital was broken up on the 28th of August and removed to Lancaster. The brethren who had become alienated from each other 1198 1 — probably caused by diverse views upon tbe fight [or independence then being made by the colonies— became reconciled in November of this year, and the communion, which had not been held (or several months, was again celebrated. In December the Assembly repealed all the penalties attached to the Test Act except that which denied the right of voting. On the 30th the congregation spent the day in fast- ing and prayer. In the midst of these anxious moments record is made of the procunng of a spinning machine by the Single Sisters, with which one person can spin twenty-four threads of wool at one time, and which was of excellent service. The first Pharmacopeia published in America, was the work of Dr. 1 William Brown, published at Lititz and printed in Philadelphia by Christian Siest. I 779— Of this year the diary says that it was distinguished by a great rise in the price of provisions and labor, and a constant depreaation of the paper currency. "Still" it goes on to say, "'we have not only had a sufficiency but have been able to give to others." At this time the church paid in taxes over four hundred pounds, and the citizens as much more. The membership at the close of this year numbered two hundred and seventy-three, fifty-one being children. This shows a loss of sixty-nine since 1 773, caused mostly by the falling away of the country members. \ 783 — The year of peace. The war being over the church and community again flourished. Four new houses were built this year. ! 784— May 25. The cornerstone of an addition to the Sisters' House was laid. (This building was finished the foUowing year.) J 785 — ^July 26. The chai3ei on the .second story of the Sisters' House was dedicated. I 786 — ^June 1 7. The cornerstone of the present church was laid by Rev. John A. Klingsore, the pastor, and Rev. Ferdinand Dittmers, the warden. (The plan of the church was made by William Henry of Lancaster. The belfry was designed by David Tanneberger who also built the organ.) 8 787 — August 1 3. The present church was consecrated. Rev. Klingsohr preached the sermon. Bishop Ettwein conducted the love-feast and communion. The new organ was played by Rev. John A. Herbst. (The total cost of the church, not including materials that were donated, was $5326.58. Collections amounted to $2360.64. From 1 788 to 1821 legacies amounting to $1241 were received from de- 11991 ce~sed members. The Warwick brethren donated $400 which they received from the sale of the Warwick school house. A legacy received 1824 from Andrew Kreiter, amounting to $1000 reduced the debt to $404,782-3.) 1 792 — A night watchman was appointed, there having been a good deal of thieving in the neighborhood and an attempt at robbing the store. He i went on duty at ten o'clock, and after midnight called out the hours. His salary was twenty-four pounds — about seventy-five dollars. 1 794 — Linden Hall Seminary founded. 1 80 1 — A clock, the present one, for the church steeple was procured. The subscription paper shows that about one hundred and seventy-five pounds or four hundred and sixty-six dollars was coontributed for the purpose. 1 806 — August 1 3. The church celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its organi- zation with special service. Concerning the life of the church and community at and after the commencement of the year 1 800 little of special interest is recorded It was a period of transition, a change from the old times to the new, characterized by a tenacious clinging to earlier customs and regulations that belonged to the past on the one hand, and an indifference or opposition to them on the other. Financially the community was on the whole not prospering, business being diepressed as was the case throughout the whole country. I 8 1 5 — John Beck took charge of the village school. I 820 — Lime first used as a fertilizer by Joseph Brubaker, Sr., and Frederick Keller near Lititz. 1837 — The fiftieth anniversary of the consecration of the church was celebrated. 1838 — July 16.

Wolle organized the Moravian Sunday School. 1 84 7 — The turnpike over the old Crown road, between Lititz and Lancaster was finished, I 85 1 — John B. Erb introduced the first mowers — the McCormick, into this section. 1855 — The so-called lease system was abolished by a vote of the church [200] council, not however, without considerable opposition ; thus Lititz ceased to be an exclusive church settlement. A charter of incorpor- ation was procured in November of that year. The first board of trustees elected under it consisted of the following : Francis M. Rauch, Ferdi- nand D. Rickert, Nathaniel S. Wolle, George T. Greider, John William Rauch and Samuel Lichtenthaeler. 1 85 7 — The church was remodeled within and without at a cost of 1 5,000 dol- lars, which included repairs and changes in the parsonage.

The church was dedicated November 29th of this year. [877 — The Sunbeam, a 16 page literary monthly was established by E. Z. Ernst and John G. Zook, the first issue appearing in April.

Brickenstein, assisted by the pastor Chas. Nagle conduct- 1201] ed the dedicatory exercises. This organ was built by Cook and Hastings of Boston. Its cost was two thousand four hundred and t\vent>-five dollars. 1 880 — General John A. Sutter, ento.Tibed in the northwest corner of the Moravian graveyard. John Augustus Sutter was bom in Kandem, Baden, Februar>' 15. 1803. He graduated at the age of twenty from the military college at Berne, and entered the " Swiss Guard " of the French Army, sening under Charles X, hrom 1823 to 1830. then in the Swiss Army till 1 834. He emigrated to America about this time, and after a short stay at St. Louis, settled at Westport, Mo. In 1837 he removed to New Mexico, settling at Santa Fe. In 1838 accompanied by six men set out accross the plains for California, making his way via Forts Hill, Baisi and Walla Walla to Oregon, and descended the Columbia to Vancouver. Finding no direct communication with Cali- fornia he sailed to the Sand\vich Islands. .Vfter a stay of six months ,he freighted a ship for Sitka, Alaska, and after disposing of his cargo, sailed south, arriving at San Francisco bay, July 2, 1 839. He settled some distance up the Sacramento River, built a grist mill, a tannery and a fort, calling his new colony New Helvetia. From the Mexican government he received a grant of land consisting of 1 00,000 acres for ser\-ices rendered. Gold being discovered on his ranch in I 848 the country was overrun with gold diggers and General Sutter was dispossessed of the land. This glaring injustice would not have been possible had it not been through the indifference of Congress toward his claims resulting from the cession by Mexico of California to the United States. Before California became the property- of the United States, General Sutter was an officer in the Me.xican government. After its cession to the United States he was elected first alcalde, (chief magistrate) of his district, was Indian commissioner and delegate to the convention for framing the constitution of California. He filed a claim before the United States Land Commissioner for thirty-three square leagues of land, covering the sites of the present cities of Sacramento and Mar\'s- ville, which was allowed ; but upon the clciim being carried to the Supreme Court of the United States the decision was reversed, and Gen. Sutter found himself despoiled of all his property. Afterwards he presented a claim to Congress for damages on account of the des- poilation of his land but it was never allowed. Coming East to look after his petition in Congress he came to Lititz in 1871, and being [202 ] GENERAL JOHN A. SUTTER pleased with its appearance, decided to take up his residence here. Having paid to the state of California $30,000 in taxes on the land of which he was despoiled, that state granted him a pension of two hundred and fifty dollars a month ; but his ideas of right and wrong were so strict that after ten years when he had returned to him the former sum, he refused to accept the latter any longer. He died in Washington D. C, June 18, 1880, aged seventy-seven years, leaving a host of friends in all parts of the country. Although not a Moravian the church was proud to give his body a resting place in its burial ground. Some fifty of his fellow pioneers came to his funeral, and among them was General John C. Fremont and H. F. Gibson, both of whom addressed the multitude of people gathered about the grave. While living here he occupied the resi- dence where Charles Kreider, the hardware merchant, now resides. He was a fine looking, courtly gentleman — genial, generous, openheart- ed — and because of his urbanity and hospitality, was esteemed and respected by the whole community. 1 88 1 —September 9.

This product was first manufactured here by John William Rauch, a baker and confectioner, who was born in Lilitz m 1 790. Before this time bretzels made at Rothsville were ped- dled from a basket through town by a m^ on horseback from that place, nicknamed "Dutch Charlie." Henry Rauch, a son of John William, manufactured bretzels at the bakery now occu" pied by W. H. Bollinger. The man who popularized the business and the bretzel was Julius F. Sturgis- He learned the trade at Henry Rauch's bakery, and suggesting methods of improvement which Mr. Rauch did not see fit to use, Mr. Sturgis in 1861, interested Jacob Kramer who furnished some capital and began to manufacture bretzels himself in an oven located at what is now the residence of Mr. D. B. Becker. His product proved so popular that he soon enjoyed a monopoly of the business, which he carried on until his death in 1 897, with the exception of a brief period when it was managed by Edwin, Walter and Nathaniel Sturgis, and from 1885 to 1890 when it was conducted by Thomas H. Keller. In 1 876 Mr. Sturgis had the brand "The Only Genuine Lititz Bretzels" registered. After his death the business was conducted by his widow, Mrs. Sarah Sturgis, until 1 904 when she sold out to her son Nathan D. Sturgis. In 1 905 F. B. Buch bought an interest m the concern which is now known as Sturgis & Co. The firm made extensive improvements in buildings and equipment. Thomas H. Keller, after 1 890, carried on the manufacture of bretzels at a bakery near Front Street for some years, selling out to P. B. Bucher who formed a partnership with the late Samul B. Erb. This firm built the bakery located along the Lititz Spring Grounds in 1903. In 1904 it was purchased by James J. Huebener, who is conducting a growing business. The late John K. Huber, formerly proprietor of the Rome Roller Mills, also manufactured bretzels for a few years. At the present time bretzels are also manufactured by William Kissinger and David Habecker, the latter at Kissel Hill. [208 1 First Gemeinhaus in Litltz. From a photograph in the Archives of the Moravian Church lilt/ Springs in 1845. After a painting by J. Augustus Berk, in the Airhives of the Moravian Chun h sen 3m Olompantfs at tl|? Past N April 1 790, at the instance of the church authorities, a subscrip- tion paper was circulated in which the necessity of having a fire engine was stated, and donations were solicited. The cost of an engine was estimated at from seventy to eighty pounds. The appeal evidently had its effect for an account says that an engine was to be ordered from Brother Wahlin Neweid, Ger- many, a famous maker. The engine was made however by Brother Schmuz, of the same place. It was finished in August 1 792, at a cost of three hundred and fifty florins. The hose cost seventy-five florins, and packed in the same box with the hose was a weoc-cloth bag containing a half dozen silk handkerchiefs which cost sixteen florins. The engine was shipped "by the grace of God," as the bill of lading reads, in September, reached New York in Januaay 1 793, Philadelphia in February, the whole freight amount- to 10£ 9s. 9 l-2d. h needed extensive repairs in 1 795. This engine saw service for many years and is still in existence. The Assistance Fire Company was organized about 1838, at which time a large fire occured consuming several buildings and endangering the whole village. This calamity made apparent the necessity of such an organization. At this time there were two engines in the town, the one called the "Assist- ance" (the one referred to above) which had been rebuilt by Martin Schreiner of Lancaster, and the other called the "Friendship" which had been built by Messrs Agnew and Merrick of Philadelphia. The "Friendship" was kept in the upper part of town and the "Assistance" in the lower, in buildings espe- cially built for this purpose. The first officers of the company were Samuel Lichtenthaler, president ; Rufus A. Greider, secretary ; Levi Hufl and Francis W. Christ, vice presidents ; Frederick A. Zitzman, treasurer ; and Aaron Traeger and William Keller, engineers. The Assistance Fire Com- pany originally had sixty-one members. For some time previous to 1855 there was no organized fire company but the lack of sufficient protection in case of fire resulted in the organization of the Friendship Fire Company in that year. The company used the same engines that had been used by the Assistance. Their company in 1855 held [209 1 a fourth of July picnic in the Springs serving a supper for which they charged twenty-five cents. Elaborate preparations had been made, but the patronage not being up to expectations— the receipts amounted to only twenty-eight dollars — the members of the company with their lady friends as guests feasted on the good things left over, the following day (Saturday). The company numbered about sixty men and disbanded upon the outbreak of the Civil War. Four members are living in Lititz, Samuel Seaber, James O. Sturgis, Henry Seaber and Joseph Buch, The present organization, officially known as the Lititz Fire Company No. I, was organized February 15, 1894. After the disbanding of the Friendship Fire Company the town had no adequate protection the necessity of which prompted the Fire Committee of Town Council to call a meeting of the citizens to take some action regarding the formation of a company. After several subsequent meetings the Lititz Fire Company No. 1 came into existence, organizing as follows : president. Dr. J. L. Hertz ; vice presidents, William M. Amer and Elmer E. Ritchie ; secretary, Henry R. Gibbel ; financial secretary, A. R. Bomberger ; treasurer, T. R. Kreider ; trustees, Herman Fisher, W. S. Diehm and H. K. Gonter. The Council procured a hose carriage from Bethlehem for the use of the new company which proved so unwieldy that permission was granted to exchange tt for a hose cart which was manufactured by Mr. A. C. Pfautz. Another cart was purchased at Seneca Falls, N. Y. so that now the company is provided with two hose carts and one thousand feet of three inch hose, the gift of the town council. Through the efforts of the company the town has been equipped with the Stevens electric fire alarm system, one of the few towns of its size so supplied. There are eight alarm boxes — Stevens and Gamewell — in as many different parts of the town. The hose house, which is also used as a council chamber, is provided with an eight hundred pound alarm bell. The members of the company are outfitted in neat uniforms and have been under the direction of a drillmaster at different times. In a firemen's parade at Columbia during 1 904 the company, accompanied by the Lititz Mititary Band and the Lititz Drum Corps, held the right of line. They also paraded at Manheim. A Firemen's Demonstration was held here on the fourth of July 1 905 celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the celebration of Independence Day, in the Lititz Springs Park, and the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the Friendship Fire Company, the four living members of which took part in the demonstration. Visiting companies were present from Pottstown, Columbia, Allentown, Reading, Manheim, Marietta, Wrightsville, Danielsville and Leb- anon. The affair was attended by almost twenty thousand people. The almost perfect equipment of the company and the efficacious services that they have rendered at various times can make the town fee! safe that any conflagration that may occur can be successfully coped with, as well as proud, that such an efficient organization exists in its limits. The present officers are: president. Dr. J. L. Hertz ; vice presidents, J. B. Young and John B.. Leib; recording secretary, Ira Nies ; financial secretary, Wm. S. Diehm ; treasurer, John B. Leib ; trustees, Jacob B. Young, John B. Leib and Emanuel Hall. [2101 f c 1 I WING to the excellent school facilities derived through Linden Hall Seminary and Beck's "School for Boys" the Common School system was not adopted until 1852, at which time Lititz was organized as an independent district. This district included a part of Warwick Township, and in 1 889 when Lititz was incorporated as a borough, the independent district was abolished, the part outside the borough limits being then annexed to the township. Prior to 1 866 there was only a primary school, the more advanced pupils being sent, the girls, to Linden Hall, and the boys to the Lititz Academy, their tui ion beirg paid by the district. This primary school was opened January 5, 1853, two years later but thirty-two pupils were in attendance, and in 1861 the attendance was only fifty-two. In 1870 a new school house, the high school building, was erected for advanced pupils at a cost of $8,500. The attendance in both buildings in 1871 was eighty-two; in 1882 two, hundred and twenty; the present attendance (1905) is about three hundred and fifty. The primary building which originally consisted of two rooms, one above the other, was enlarged by the addition of two more rooms in I 889. The Smead Wells & Co.'s system of heating and ventilating was installed at the same time. This work not being finished at the opening of the '89-'90 session, the primary pupils were instructed in the lower part of the building known as the Malt House on West Main Street, now used as a cigar factory and tobacco warehouse. In 1903 the High School building was greatly remodeled and equipped with the Smead Wells & Co.'s system of heating and ventilatmg at a cost of $7,500. The teachers at present are as follows: Principal, G. Herman Goetz, ; Asst. Principal, Miss Mary Stoner ; Grammar, Miss Barbara Mylin ; B Gram- mar, Miss Maud Hostetter ; Intermediate, James B. Haag ; Secondary, Miss Alice Stormfeltz ; Fourth Primary, Miss Laura Buch ; Third Primary, Miss Charlotte Duchman ; Second Primary, Miss E. Carrie Tshudy ; First Primary, Miss Mary Tshudy. The present School Directors are : Daniel B. Becker, who is president of the board ; J. W. G. Hershey, secretary ; Harry Meiskey treasurer; Walter H. Buch, Justus Stoner and John Fasnacht. After the retirement in 1 865 of Prof. John Beck, Ferdinand D. Rickert and George W. Hepp conducted the Lititz Academy. Both of these gentle- men had been teaching in Mr. Beck's school for years. Rickert & Hepp, owing to the health of the former, dissolved partnership in 1883. Mr. Hepp conducted the school for several years thereafter at his residence. The school was attended by a limited number of boardmg and day scholars. In 1 862 Julius Theodore Beckler organized Sunnyside College, a school for girls which was continued until 1878. Mr. A. R. Beck, son of John Beck established Beck's School for Boys in 1865, at Audubun Villa. This school was dis- continued in 1 895. [211] iuliuHtml l^tBtnry nf ICttilz By ISRAEL G. ERB ROM the very earliest times Lititz has been noted as a center of industry as well as of frugality and piety, until at the present time it is one of the busiest and most prosperous towns m the state of Pennsylvania, and probably in the United States. Excepting the industries connected with the Moravian Con- gregation, Lititz first became important (industrially speaking), in 1 765 when David Tannenberg began the manufacture of organs and pianos, the organs particularly, being noted for their sweetness of tone and excellent workmanship, specimens of which may yet be found in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, Bethlehem, Madison, Va., and Salem, N. C. One of his pianos (according to an old record) was sold for £22 1 Os. Another important industry that did much to make the town famous was the manufacture of chip hats and bonnets. This business was conducted by Matthias Tshudy early in the nineteenth century, and flourished until the palm leaf and straw hats became fashion's favorites. Mr. Tshudy was the only person in the country who understood the art of manufacturing such hats, and supplied the entire country with them, some going as far south as New Orleans, a distance in those days that was a much greater obstacle to successful trade than in the present age of steam and electncty. That the early settlement had inventive genius is shown by the invention or the screw point on augers by John Henry Ranch, auger-maker, black- smith and spurrier. Judge Henry sent the pattern to England after which the screw point came into general use. Another inventor of those days was Godfrey Albright who made the first plan of a ten-plate stove. Mr. Albright gave his pattern to Robert Cole- man who introduced them. Of all industries that have made the name of Lititz familiar in almost all corners of the earth, the manufacture of bretzels was (and is) the most im- portant. William Ranch began the manufacture of these toothsome dainties about 1810, was succeeded by his son who continued their manufacture until 1 865, when Julius Sturgis began the manufacture of his famous " Only Genuine Lititz Bretzels," greatly improving the bretzel as well as the method of making them. The malting of grain became a leading industry about 1 824 when a malt house was built on the present site of Dr. P. J. Roebuck's residence, by [2121 Michael Greider. This building having been destroyed by fire in 1856 a brick building was erected on West Main Street for malting purposes and con- tinued to be used as such until 1878. John Kreiter also carried on this business starting about 1833, when permission was granted him by the church authorities to build a brewery and malt house, in the hope that the use of malt liquors would replace spirituous liquors which were then the chief beverage. He erected a building south of the Spring Grounds which was also destroyed by fire ( 1 865). It was immediately rebuilt and even today is known as the "old brewery." Among the different people engaged in this business besides those men mentioned above were Jacob Tshudy, R. R. Tshudy, Christian Kreiter, T. M. Rauch, John Hamm and Michael Muecke. A tannery was conducted by Jacob Geitner for many years in the build- ing in, which Mr. Milton Bender now conducts a butcher shop. Bark becoming very scarce in this neighborhood Clement Geitner, his son and successor, in November 1 882 moved to Hickory, N. C. Jacob Tshudy was the pioneer store-keeper who started in business with his own stock of goods in 1828. The church conducted the only other store until 1843, when it was sold to Nathaniel S. Wolle and is continued at the present by his son, Robert N. Wolle. All the other industries common to an inland town in an agricultural community were carried on, competition in some lines being very strong. With the abolishment of the "lease system" in 1855 the town broadened until in 1867 its business men felt the need of a banking institution which was supplied by the organization of the Lititz Deposit Bank, with John Evans, William Evans, Emanuel Kauffman, Samuel E. Keller, R. R. Tshudy and M. T. Huebener, as directors. This bank was reorganized under the present banking laws in 1 880 and called the Lititz National Bank. This institution has had a career since its inception that is highly gratifying, and through seasons of panics and commercial depression the management has been at once safe, conservative and enterprising. It has a paid-in capital stock of $105,000. Israel G. Erb is president ; Henry R. Erb, vice president ; T. R. Kreider, cashier ; J. W. G. Hershey, assistant cashier, and John M. Pfautz, teller. Directors : Israel G. Erb, Henry R. Erb, A. W. Shober, Adam B. Long, A. R. Bomberger, M. S. Hess, Dr. J. H. Shenk, and H. Reist Landis. Of the important unincorporated business activities of the town the tobacco business was, and has continued to be, by far the most important, there being as early as 1883 thirteen firms extensively engaged in manufacturing cigars and packing tobacco. This industry, while its importance has been overshadowed somewhat by the larger industrial concerns of today, supports as many, if not more, people than these larger concerns. [213] The first incorporated industrial concern was the Lititz Plow Company (Limited) which started in business about 1 880 in the Lititz Grain Elevator of which E. E. Eby is the present proprietor. This venture was unsuccessful, and if its failure had a deterring influence or not, it is nevertheless a fact, that for a period of eighteen years, from I 880 to I 898 the business activities of the town were confined principally to the ordinary everyday routine of local buying and selhng. It was during this period of inactivity that several enterprises were begun which, though discontinued after a short time, were nevertheless indicative of an industrial awakening. In 1 89 1 The Lititz Bed Spring Company began the manufacture of bed springs in A. C. Pfautz's blacksmith shop, con- tinuing to do so for about four years. During the spring of 1 905 W. M. Amer and Emanuel G. Witters began the manufacture of shirts in a two- story building on Center Street, which was also discontinued after three or four years. But it was not until a few years later, 1 898, with the establishment of the Keystone Underwear Mills that the town awoke from its seeming lethargy. The Keystone Underwear Mills were organiged, 1 898, by Samuel B. Erb, Adam B. Long and Israel G, Erb. In 1905 the firm was incorporated and is now known as the Keystone Underwear Company. Equipped with modern facilities and fitted with all necessary auxiliary machinery, this company is shipping their product — men's ribbed underwear — to all parts of the United States and Europe. The company is capitalized at $80,000 and has a daily capacity of 400 dozen pairs. The present directors are Israel G. Erb, Adam B. Long, G. Graybill Diehm, Henry H. Snavely aud John L. Wentworth. The Kauffman Knitting Mills also began the manufacture of underwear shortly after the organization of the Keystone Mills. A short time previous to the organization of the knitting mills, Garber, Reist & Nissley established a creamery on North Alley. This concern operates a number of creameries and branches. The celebrated "E. D.' print butter which they manufacture is one of the best known brands of fancy table butter that is sold in the Quaker City markets. The individual members of the company are E. L. Garber, J. G. Reist, E. G. Reist and C. L. Nissley, all thorough business men and regarded as four of the most substantial men in northern Lancaster county. Another widely advertised product that has helped in no small degree to familiarize the name of Lititz is the W. C. E. Cough Drop. These cough drops are on the market since 1893 when W. C. Enck began their manufac- ture on a small scale. In 1 899 Mr. Enck associating with J. R. Cibbel, they were manufactured for some years under the firm name of W. C. Enck & Co. [214] Mr. Enck having withdrawn from the firm, continues to manufacture them himself. The merit of W. C. E. Cough Drops has so increased the demand for them that the sales last year amounted to forty tons. After dissolving part- nership with W. C. Enck, J. R. Gibbel started the manufacture of all kinds of candy. This business has greatly increased duriug the past few years. Two important internal improvements came almost simultaneously, water facilities and electric light, the one in the beginning and the other during the close of the year. The Lititz Water Company was organized January 1893, succeeding a siniilar concern which, however, only furnished water for street sprinkling purposes. A large standpipe 1 00 feet high by 20 feet in diameter was erected west of the park, which is filled with fine well water by means of an engine. A. R. Bomberger, D. E. Light, A. B. Long, J. C. Brobst, D. R. Buch, S. W. Buch, T. R. Kreider, W. M. Amer and J. H. Bomberger are the present directors. [At an election, 1 904, council was authorized to purchase this company's plant. — Ed.] The Electric Light, Heat and Power Company was organized during the fall of 1893. its present directors are; J. F. Buch, A. R. Bomberger, W. M. Amer and A. B. Long. In the year 1 899 the Lititz Condensed Milk Company began operations continuing until the latter part of the year when they consolidated with the Excelsior Confectionery Company of Reading, taking the firm name of the Kendig Manufacturing Company. This new firm began the manufacture of cocoa and chocolate on a small scale. The concern grew and prospered until their facilities were entirely inadequate. At this juncture local capitalists became interested and a working capital of $25,000 was subscribed, which was sub- sequently raised to $100,000 and later to $150,000. The Kendig Manufacturing Company was reorganized and thereafter known as the Ideal Cocoa and Chocolate Company. A large three-storied brick building was erected and equipped with every modern facility and convenience known to the industry. Ideal cocoa and chocolate is called by experts the finest preparation on ,the market. The demand for these products is so great that the present building has to be greatly enlarged in the very near future. J. W. G. Hershey, W. H. Muth, S. B. Buch, E. L. Garber, J. F. Buch, W. M. Amer, N. B. Leaman, D. E. Light, S. K. Snavely, J. G. Usner, H. S. Meiskey, all of Lititz ; Dr. Gloninger, of Lebanon, and Enos Hess, of Rose- ville, are the present directors. The present capital is $200,000 A few weeks previous to the reorganization of the above company a Board of Trade was organized through the efforts of John G. Zook and W. H. Muth who evolved the idea from a private conversation. The first fruit of the new organization was the capitalizatlou of the Ideal Cocoa & Chocolate Company at $25,000. Through the efforts of the Board [215] the J. M. Mast Manufacturing Company was organized with a working capital of $15,000; a three-story brick building was subsequently erected and equipped with the most improved machinery and appliances for the manufac- ture of animal traps, patent fishing floats and vegetable graters which found a ready market in all parts of the world. During the present year, 1905, this industry was incorporated with the Animal Trap Company of Abingdon, 111., and capitalized at $150,000. A building having a floor space of 45,000 spuare feet is in process of erection and will be equipped with all the necessary machinery for the manufacture of traps of all descriptions. This corporation is the largest concern of its kind in the world. The directors are as follows : D. B. Becker, C. B. Risser, J. C. Brubaker, N. K. Brubaker, A. R. Bomberger, N. B. Leaman, A. B. Long, J. M. Mast and W. H. Muth. The necessity for increased banking facilities led to the establishment of the Farmers National Bank in 1901, with a capitalization of $60,000, and by a sound and conservative management has won for itself a foremost position in the banking world. Dr. P. J. Roebuck is president , E. L. Garber, vice president ; H. H. Gingrich, cashier, and H. R. Gibbel, assistant cashier. In addition to Dr. Roebuck and Mr. Garber the following are directors : C. H. Bomberger, H. S. Meiskey, William M. Amer, N. B. Leaman, S. W. Buch, J. G. Usner, J. F. Buch and Hiram Buckwalter. In 1902 The Wellington Manufacturing Company, with a capital of $125,000 located here for the purpose of manufacturing corn starch, lump starch and powdered starch for all purposes. A large three-storied brick building was erected, the ground for the purpose beieg donated by public-spirited citizens, and thoroughly equipped, which coupled with the management of an experienced starch manufacturer made possible a product that for general excellence cannot be equalled. This plant was considerably enlarged in 1 904 by the addition of a large wing to the main building almost doubling the floor space, a feed house and a 24,000 bushel elevator. The company was reorganized about the same time and capitahzed at $2,500,000, the name of the company being changed to the Wellington Starch Company, with a branch factory in Decatur, Illinois, in process of erection, which when finished, will, with the local factory have a capacity of 200,000 pounds of starch and I 00,000 pounds of by-products. Shipments are made to all parts of the United States, Canada and Europe. Thomas W. Barnes is president and general manager. The other officers and directors are : Wm. M. Amer, vice president; A. R. Bomberger, secretary; Israel G. Erb, treasurer; J. H. Bomberger, superintendent; Adam B. Long, T. R. Kreider, G.^ Graybil! Diehm, and H. W. Davis. Hon. W. U. Hensel is the company's counsel and the Northern Trust Company of Lancaster, registrars. The Lititz Manufacturing Company began the manufacture of tailor made suits about this time. Calvin S. Loeffler and Harvey Esbenshade constituted the concern. This industry continued until the destruction by fire of the plant October 2 I 1902. The Lititz Shoe Company was organized February 1 904, with a capital of $ 1 0,000. The building formerly used by the Kendig Manufacturing Com- [216] Y. M. C. A. Rooms— Doster's Stc Plant of the Lititz Lithographing Company pany was procured and equipped with the latest improved machinery for the manufacture of ladies' and children's Goodyear welt shoes. The daily capacity is 500 pairs. The board of directors consists of N. B. Leaman, E. H. Risser, J. C. Blood. B. B. Leaman and A. N. Wolf. During the fall of the same year the Eby Shoe Company was organized. The planing mill formerly occupied by Seaber & Grube waseitirely remodeled and furnished with the most modern machinery for the manufacture of childrens's shoes. The plant has a capacity of 1 ,000 pairs daily. Under the management of Harry and Frank Eby who compose the company this industry has assumed a leading position. The Lititz Planning Mill began orperations in 1904 and though one of our younger industries, Neidermyer Bros., the proprietors, are making a success of their work, as creditable to themselves as to the borough. Among the later industries of the town is the Lititz Steam Laundry, established in 1905. This laundry, largest and best equipped of any Jn rural Pennsylvania, has proven itself one of the town's most appreciated industries. The Lititz Lithographing Company, successors to the Hertgen Litho- graphing Company of Lancaster, located here during the summer of 1905. A commodious three-story structure thoroughly outfitted with all essential machtnery, gives ample facilities for doing the work in which the company is engaged, lithographing, binding, printimg and the manufacture of paper boxes. The company is capitalized at $50,000. Dr. J. C. Brobst is president; P. B. Bucher, vice-president ; W. M. Keissling, secretary ; H. Reist Landis, treasurer, and J. E. Hertgen, general manager. On the first of August, 1905, the Lititz Dairy Company began the manufacture of butter in a building erected near Water Street for this purpose. The company is composed of farmers of the vicinity who are thoroughly alive to the farmer's needs and interests. The facilities of the concern are second to no buttermakers in the state. The officers and directors of the company are: president, N. K. Buch ; vice president, S. S. Hess ; secretary, John M. Pfautz; treasurer and general manager, N. K. Brubaker. The other directors : H. R. Erb, H. H. Bomberger and G. G. Minnich. The latast industry. Consumers' Box Board and Paper Company, began operations the latter part of 1905. A plant, modern in every respect, was erected during the preceding summer. This concern manufactures all grades of paper from the ordinary manilla to the finest kinds of papeteries. Dr. P. J. Roebuck is president ; E. E. Weaver, vice president and general manager ; G. A. Hoffman, superintendent ; L). E. Bruner, secretary ; J. F. Stoner, asst. secretary; H. H. Gingrich, treasurer ; The other directors are H. C. Seldomridge, A. R. Lane and C. B. Risser. The company has a capital of $150,000. Thus has the town grown industrially and as it has increased in its business activities it, including Warwick, has increased in population. The building of dwellings has kept pace with the building of factories. Today Lititz and Warwick have a population of about 2800, an increase since I 900 of 1 000 souls. Truly, taken all in all, Lititz is one of the most beautiful, healthy and prosperous towns in these broad United States. [217] 9 6 6^ Deacidified using the Bookkeeper process.
