INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Mr. Emerson says, "Xo man is worth his room in the 
 world who is not commanded by a legitimate object of 
 thought." Again he says, "The few superior persons in each 
 comnmnity are so by their steadiness to reality and their 
 neglect of appearances. " What he says of persons in botli 
 statements may with equal propriety be said of books. 
 
 The author who is "connnanded l)y a legitimate object 
 of thought," has the first reciuisite necessary to make a book 
 "worth its room in the world," and if he writes a book ani- 
 mated by "its steadiness to reality and neglect of appearan- 
 ces," it ought to have a place in the world. 
 
 Books like people have various ways of getting into their 
 places in the world. This book comes and seeks its place by 
 force of circumstances which could not well be resisted. The 
 circumstances need not be enumerated. But the chief cir- 
 cumstance, or primary object was to give an historical and 
 biographical sketch of the family in America. 
 
 It may seem selfish to mention the amount of lal)or that 
 has been necessary in the accumulation of so much data, and 
 this seems the proper place to express how much the author 
 is indebted to George Smouse, Elmer S. Burket and John M. 
 Smouse, members of the Connnittee on Data, and also the 
 Rev. J. M. S. Lsenberg, B. D.. for the facts, and in many in- 
 stances the very language herein given. But in a nniltitude 
 of instances the facts refused to appear in suitable and con- 
 cise form, and .•^o had to be fashioned and rewritten. 
 
It would have been a com|)aratively easy task to have 
 imciiloried all liie facts. But that would not have l^eeii a 
 noteworthy lahoi'. There has not been another such I'ansack- 
 inii; of libraries, archives and church records in recent years, 
 and altliou<>;h much has l)een obtained and accomplished by 
 this dihoent research, tlie author had to sift and analyze tradi- 
 tions and discover facts in many instances, and feels assured 
 thai I he truth has been arrived at. 
 
 In the list of descendants it has been impossible to have 
 all the names <i;iven aiid all the dates exact, and in this re- 
 spect we nuist ask indulgence. 
 
 The honored and respected record of our ancestors should 
 stimulate each and all of us to make the future name of the 
 family still moi'e honored and respected, and therel^y trans- 
 mit a legacy to our posterity of which they may be j)roud, 
 and by so doing insjnre them to attain unto the highest niche 
 in the temple of lionor and fame, thus amply rewarding us 
 for all our Ial)or and toil.

THE FIRST REUNION. 
 
 About one-eiglith of a mile north-east of the Pennsylva- 
 nia Railroad depot in the famous mining village of Henrietta, 
 Pa., stood a log house one and one-half stories high, sur- 
 rounded by a beautiful orchard of a variety of choice fiiiit, 
 and just south of the road leading to the Tussey Mountain, 
 whose lofty heights towering thousands of feet above, only a 
 short distance east. Here lived Michael and Dorothy (Loose) 
 Smouse, the greater part of their lives, or from 1838 to the 
 time of their death, the form.er in LS75 and the latter in 1891. 
 
 During the summer of 1895, F. S. Burket, a grandson 
 of Michael and Dorothy Smouse, and Administrator of the 
 estate of Dorothy Smouse, deceased, sold the above-named 
 property to John L. Smouse, a son of Michael and Dorothy 
 Smouse. Two years later, or in 1897, the above John L. 
 Smouse sold the property to Harry Ketner. Thus after fifty- 
 nine (59) years of ownership by this one family of Smouses, 
 the property went into other hands, and at the confirmation 
 of this sale the thought came into the minds of Mrs. Elias 
 Burket and Mrs. M. B. Stonerook, daughters of Michael and 
 Dorothy Smouse, to hold a family reunion on the old home- 
 stead, before possession would be given to the new owners. In 
 view thereof E. S. Burket, a grandson of the old owners, 
 called a meeting f(jr the last Saturday in October, 1897, invi- 
 ting all the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of 
 
8 
 
 Michael and Dorothy Smouse, to enjoy a day together. 
 
 The following children with their wives and husbands 
 were present : 
 
 David F. Smouse and wife Lizzie. 
 
 John L. Smouse and wife Lizzie. 
 
 Elizabeth (Smouse) Burket and husband Elias. 
 
 Barbary (Smouse) Coy and husband John. 
 
 Nancy (Smouse) Stonerook and husband M. B. 
 
 Maggie (Smouse) Stewart and husband John. 
 
 Grand CHildren. 
 
 Elmer S. Burket and wife Annie. 
 
 Mrs. Annie Stoner. 
 
 Sadie Houp and husband William. 
 
 Lizzie Shultz and husband Poi'ter. 
 
 Mrs. Laura Hartman. 
 
 Miss Dora Burket, Miss Ella Burket. 
 
 Miss Rosa Smouse, Miss Nellie Smouse. 
 
 Miss Dora Stewart, Eddie Stewart, Robert Stewart. 
 
 Henry Stewart, David Stewart, Freddie Smouse. 
 
 James Stonerook, Charles Stonerook and Mearl Coy. 
 
 Great Grand CHildren. 
 
 Roy Burket, Clark Burket, Rebecca Burket, Don. B. 
 Shultz, John Stoner, Lloyd Stoner, Blair Hartman, Mary 
 Hartman, Ruth Hartman and Wesley Houp. 
 
 The youngest son of Mic'.iael and Dorothy Smouse was 
 not present, he living in Johnstt>wn, Pa., and the invitation 
 to attend said reiuiion failed to i-each him in time. 
 
 The second reunion was held the hrst Saturday in Sep- 
 tember, ISOS, at which time the family of Michael and Dor- 
 othy Smouse wei-c fully represented and an enjoyable day 
 was spent in icminiscences, games, il'c. 
 
 Li the following year, viz. 1S99, the Rev. J. W. Smouse 
 succeeded in having members of several Smouse families to 
 
meet with the Michael and Dorothy Sinouse family, and 
 prominent among the number assembled on that festive day 
 was George Sniouse, Sr., of Bedford, Pa. From his knowledge 
 of the Smouses in America, the writer of this l)()ok received 
 valuable data, as well as great encouragement. It was at 
 this gathering that the Smouse Association of America was 
 formed. Its ol)ject was to gather data, and to endeavor to 
 bring all the tlifferent families to participate in the next re- 
 union, to be lu'ld the following year, at Ashcom, Pa., on the 
 farm once owned and occupied by John Smouse. The offi- 
 cers chosen were F. S. Burket, Altoona, Pa., President; J. W. 
 Smouse, Yellow Creek, Pa., Secretary; A. M. Smouse, Mar- 
 tinsburg, Pa., Treasurer. A data committee was also select- 
 ed at that time, to co-opei-ate with the officers of the Asso- 
 ciation. The meml)ers of said committee were : Geo. vSmouse, 
 Bedford, Pa.; John M. Smouse, Henrietta, Pa.; and Elmer S. 
 Burket, Altoona, Pa. 
 
 The inspiration of that day had such a marvelous effect 
 that the annual reunions since then bring together thousands 
 of kith and kin from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the 
 lakes to the gulf. 
 
 The eleventh i-eunion of the Association held at Saxton, 
 Pa., August 29, 1907, selected the following named persons 
 as a committee on ])ublication: J. W. Smouse, Thomas F. 
 Smouse, George Sniouse, Win Smouse, E. S. Feight, E. S. 
 Burket, B. F. Gibbony, John Koontz and S. S. Nicodemus. 
 
 J. W. Smouse was unanimously selected to prepare the 
 manuscri])t for the j)ul:)lishing of this book, and E. S. Burket 
 was selected as Secretary-Treasurer of said conmiittee and 
 also soliciting agent. 
 
 TKe Name and Family. 
 
 The family is of German descent or extraction, and the 
 language of the Fatherland gave place to the English, more 
 
10 
 
 than a generation ago among the Smouses of America. Prior 
 to 1810, the name was written Schmaus, excepting in a few 
 instances, it was spelled Smouse as early as 1790. In Ger- 
 many it is still written Schmaus, with the exception of those 
 families who live in Alsace, who spell the name Von Schmau- 
 sen, yet they are descendants of Carl Smouse, horn June 11, 
 12S1. Many of the present generation are doubtless ignor- 
 ant of the significance of the name. At the time of the great 
 migrations, A. D., 500, and the division of Germany, all 
 names of German origin were given or assumetl by families, 
 and referred to character, location, position or rank. The 
 name Schmaus means robust, hearty and retund, and it also 
 signifies loyalty. 
 
 In the province of Saxe-Coberg the name apjx^ars in 
 history for the first time, and it was in the years G79-(iSo that 
 Carl Schmaus was stationed at the town of Wohlsdorf as 
 Colonel of 'The Life Guards." In the year 715 we find that 
 John Schmaus located at Coblentz and practiced medicine and 
 surgery. He was also prominent in the affairs of state. His 
 son, Peter Schmaus, was also a noted physician and surgeon. 
 Albrecht Schmaus was a Captain in the German artillery service 
 during the years 1768^1779. Many of the Schmauses in Ger- 
 many and the Netherlands are prijinini'nt in the affairs of 
 state. John Jacob Schmaus was a member of the Rcichstad 
 when he died 1892. John Henry Schmaus of Leipsic, is rec- 
 ognized as one of the ablest surgeons in the Kingdom. 
 
 The family in America has been, and still is noted for 
 industry, {progress and {patriotism. I'roni the time of, and 
 during the French and Indian wai', to the j)resent time, some 
 of those who bear the name have Ihhmi in the armies of 
 America. 
 
 In the field of Merchandise we find a vast mnnbei' who 
 are successful and prosperous. Many are famous, but the 
 name occurs frequently among those who are teachers, doc- 
 
tors, lawyers and ininisters; in most of the callings of life 
 representatives of the family are to be found, reflecting honor 
 and credit on their chosen calling. 
 
 As the families intermarried with those of other religious 
 faiths, (the Lutheran church being the church of their faith- 
 ers), or as they located in communities where the church of 
 their faith was not, and being a people who loved their Lord 
 and Master more than their denomination, they identified 
 themselves with the church most convenient. Thus we find 
 the name on the rolls of Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, 
 United Brethren, Methodist Episcopal, Brethren and other 
 churches. Intelligence and industry have marked them, and 
 as a result the family has been well represented in prominent 
 positions in the church. 
 
 With the changes of location and church relation, there 
 have been changes in political faith. Before the Civil War 
 the family was solidly Democratic, and many are so yet. But 
 we find many of the family to-day who are Republicans, some 
 who are Prohibitionists, and some who are Populists. 
 
 The author of this book has been enabled through church 
 records to trace the family lineage back to 1281, not a link 
 being missed in the chain. Charles (Schmaus) Smouse was 
 born June 11, 1281, and he was a merchant in his native city. 
 His descendants were prominent in mechanism, medicine, 
 merchandizing and theology. His son Jacob was born April 
 28, 1319, who was the father of nine children. His son Adam 
 was born April 23, 1342. Adam was married at the age of 
 20 years, and was the father of ten children. His son Daniel 
 was born September 19, 1370. Daniel had but two children, 
 a son and daughter. His son Peter was born July 14, 1401. 
 Peter was the father of six girls and four boys. Henry, his 
 son, was born June 8, 1436. Henry had but one child, a son, 
 whom he named Michael. This son was born February 12, 
 1460. Michael was the father of eight children, all boys. 
 
His fii-st-I)()i'ii he named HtMii-y, who was horn November 20, 
 14S."). Henry was the father of Charles, who was l)orn Octo- 
 hcr 20, ir)21, and at the ajje of 2S years married Mary Beacker, 
 and ha<l hut one child when he (Henry) died. This child 
 was .John Schmaiis, horn Ahirch 10, I")")!). .Jolm was the 
 fathei- of Adam, who was l)orn .January 24, 1583. .-^/Llam 
 married ( !i-etchen (Margaret) Bauei", and had six children horn 
 unto them. His son \Mlliam was horn December 14, KUO. 
 He was married to h]liz;d)eth Staker and had seven children. 
 George, his son, was horn May 10, KioS. and was married to 
 .\nna Pllug. He was the father of eight children. His son 
 Peter, was boi'n August 23, lOf)."). Peter Schinaus was united 
 in nuirriagt' to Mary Fk^shman. To this union wTre born 
 six children. Heni-y, tiie first son, was horn February 2, 
 IBSS. Henry was married t;> Cathei'ini' Foltz and had nine 
 childi-en — Hemy, John, Anna, Mary, Pheba, James, Peter, 
 David and l*]lizal)eth. 
 
 Jo'.ui Smo'i'.se, son of Henry, and grandson of Peter Smouse, 
 was born .Vpril o, 1721. He in company with Casper Lutz, 
 N'alentine \\'ilt, Flias Nicholas Bender, Philij) Snieltzer and 
 Christian Miller, ss't sail at Bremen for the New Work! as it 
 was then calleil. and after a tempestuous voyage landed at 
 Baltimoi'e, Mai'yland, Se|)teml)er 10, 173S. 
 
 He remaine(l in t!ie cit>' of Baltimore for only a few 
 weeks, when he went to London county, \'irginia. He en- 
 gag(Ml with an old pioneer to drixe team, which \'ocation he 
 followed until the Spring of 1740, when he began farming. 
 He also had a team of his own cai'i'ying fi'eight from Balti- 
 moi'e into t he set I lemeiits in Loiulomi county, N'irginia. Dur- 
 ing the Ficnch and Indian war he and Christian Miller were 
 in the emjjloy of the (lovernmem. They weic hauling sup- 
 |)lies and helpeil to cut a road from CaiTisle to Foi't Bedford. 
 He was present with his team wlieii that tierce l)attle was 
 fought at Bloody Run, now Evei'ct t . He was one of eighteen 
 
1.3 
 
 men who with C'ai)t;un Stoiu' rescued six prisoners that were 
 to be burned Iw the Indians. On the day followino- that of 
 the battle Captain Stone being apprised of the doom await- 
 ing the captives, called for volunteers to go at dead of night 
 and rescue, if ])ossible, their unfortunate conn-ades. Eighteen 
 responded, and at midnight they started. Silently they 
 marched through the forest, and when the first rosy hue of 
 dawn appeared on the eastern horizon, with brave hearts and 
 strong hands they dashed among the wigwams of the Indian 
 camp and rescued their conn-ades, only one of the eighteen 
 having received a slight wound. 
 
 It was at this time that he first saw the land or piece of 
 gi-ound in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, which he purchased 
 in ITSo. The deed for said land being dated August 24, 
 1785. 
 
 He was united in marriage to Mary Wohlfrom, of Lou- 
 doun county, Virginia. She was a redemptionist, that is, she 
 had to serve four years as servant girl to a w^ealthy land owner, 
 who had paid her fare, or passage from Germany to America. 
 At the expiration of the tenure of service she had redeemed 
 her pledge and was free. To the union of those two hearts 
 were liorn nine children — Peter, George Adam, John, David, 
 Michael, Charles, Catharine, Susan and Matilda. In the fall 
 of 17S5 he moved from Loudoun county, Virginia, and settled 
 with his family on the farm now known as the Ashconi farm, 
 Bedford county, Pennsylvania. His sons, Peter and George 
 Adam, were soldiers fi'om Loudoun county, Virginia, in the 
 Revolutionary War. They were present at Yorktown when 
 Cornwallis surrendered.

53 
 
 son, and like his elder Ijrothers, was very patriotic. His 
 brothers, Peter and George A., were in the Revolutionary 
 war. He was in the War of 1812. He and his brother Mi- 
 chael were at Pittsburg with their teams, having taken mer- 
 chandise from Baltimore to the city on the Ohio, on 
 their return to Fort Bedford, now^ Bedford, Pa., they en- 
 gaged with the government and drove their own teams, until 
 peace was declared, when they returned to their farms in 
 Friends Cove, Bedford county, Pa. His brother, George A., 
 owned a distillery at that time, and he had loaded fifteen 
 barrels of apple jack to be taken to Baltimore, when the 
 news reached him that a scjuad of soldiers were in the com- 
 munity taking every horse fit for service. His hired man, 
 Mr. H. A. Hill, had just harnessed six horses, when the sol- 
 diers were seen coming over the bridge. Instantly he mount- 
 ed the saddle horse, as he was then called, and driving the 
 others ahead, he swam them across the river, took to the 
 mountains, and thereby saved the horses. The apple jack 
 never reached Baltimore, but it did reach the stomach of 
 many a weary soldier. 
 
 Jacob, son of David, and grandson of John Smouse, was 
 a Hercules for his years. When but sixteen years old, he 
 was apprenticed to a man in Everett, Pa., to learn the tan- 
 ner's trade. The man was abusive and mean. No one 
 could please him, and one day tanner's oil was needed. He 
 sent Jacob to Bedford, a distance of eight miles, to get a jug 
 of oil. Having to pass through the "Narrows" where the 
 river cuts through Tussey's mountain, he hid the jug, went 
 to a friend in Friend's Cove, remained all night, left the fol- 
 lowing morning, and has never been seen or heard of, from 
 that eventful day to the present. It was during the second 
 month of his apprenticeship, he in company with a friend, 
 went to what was then known as the stone tavern, east of 
 Everett several miles, and being on the Philadelphia and 
 
54 
 
 f'lttsbufjj,' pike, thv house was patronized l)y the teauisters 
 who were on (his thon)ug.hfare. It happened that Charles 
 Meneh, a teamster, and a pugihst or .sluggler, so called in 
 those days, was at the bar when Smouse and his friend en- 
 tered the door. He said to them, "Stranger, you can come- 
 in, hut that young snot, (meaning Jacob Smouse) , cannot en- 
 ter or be inhere while T am here." Smouse says toMench,"! 
 am in, and it will take a l)etter man than you, or any other 
 one here to put me out, and more tlian that, you called me 
 a name for which 3'ou must apologize. I never had a cjuar- 
 rel or fight in my life, and you are a man and fighter, and I 
 am a mere boy in years, but your superior in manners, in 
 strength, and in behavior, and you nmst apologize or I \\\\\ 
 compel you to do so." Mench laid off his coat and vest, 
 and said to tliose in the room: "Form a ring and T 
 will show that young jack-a-napes that Charles Mench is the 
 best man between Philadeli>hia and Pittsburg. Smouse but- 
 toned his coat, walked into the ring, and tlie contest began. 
 The writer of this sketch has it from an eye witness, who 
 said that when Smouse struck his first })low, he took his an- 
 tagonist clean off his feet, and that tli(> f)lood flew to the 
 ceiling of the room. The fight lasted forty-five minutes, and 
 (luring all this time Mr. Mench never reached Mr. Smouse 
 to give him a scratch. Mr. Mench not only apologized for 
 his rudeness, but declared that Smouse was the l?est man in 
 America.

 The Smouse Association for five years and was greatly inter- 
 
70 
 
 esfcd 111 its 8'uccess. His grandfather, with whom ho lived, 
 died March 18, 1875, leaving him at an early age to care for 
 his aged grandmother, which to him was a great pleasure. He 
 was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in July, 1881, as 
 a fireman, in which capacity he served for eight years, when 
 he was promoted to be an engineer on the Pittsburg division. 
 He was the engineer of the train which on the evening of De- 
 cember 20, 1897, dashed down the mountain from Gallitzin 
 tunnel at a fearful rate of speed and crashed into a train 
 standing in the yard at the passenger station of Altoona, Pa. 
 The runaway train consisted of forty-five cars drawn by en- 
 gine 604, which being reversed and running at the rate of a 
 mile a minute, caused the wheels to become red hot. When 
 the engine struck it was lifted like a toy and hurletl completely 
 westward- For several minutes the awful grinding continued 
 and then (juiet settled on the scene. Locomotives, passenger 
 and freight cars together with poultry and merchandise of all 
 sorts were heaped twenty feet in the air. Marvelous as it 
 inay appear the engineer and fireman suffered but slight in- 
 juries, though they stood l)y their posts on the engine while 
 it ploughed into the train ahead, until scarcely a stick of tim- 
 ber or a whole portion of the engine remained. And thus 
 being saved from death, Mr. Burket and the fireman fell upon 
 their knees beside the terrible mass of debris and thanked God 
 for their deliverance. It Was no fault of Mr. Burket that the 
 train ran away, and he was exonerated by the Coroner's jury. 
 He was united in marriage to Maude Clark of Utahville, Pa.. 
 January 10, 1893, at No. 917 17th street, Altoona, Pa., by the 
 Rev. S. F. Forgeus. To this union were born three 
 children— Dorothy, born I'Vbruary 11,189.1. Daniel Gordon, 
 horn November 9, 1896, and Frederick Wooly, born January 
 ;!!), 1899. lie was a member of Calvary Baptist church, the 
 Pennsylvania Railroad relief fund, the Odd Fellows, and the 
 Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers- He was an active

 member of the Pennsylvania Railroad Young Men's Christian 
 Association and served as \'ice President and as a member of 
 the Board of Directors for a number of years. He died June 
 'S, 1903, after an illness of ten days of typhoid pneumonia. 
 
 Th(^ following lines of poetry were written in honor of 
 Mr. Burket : 
 
 OUR heroe:s of to-day. 
 
 Eig'hteen hundred, ninety-seven; the twentieth of December 
 Was a day the people of Altoona will long- remember, 
 'Twas just before Xmas; everything was serene and grand, 
 And no one dreamed of the dreadful catastrophe so near at hand. 
 
 The weather was the dreariest we'd had for many a day, 
 
 It rained, snowed and sleeted, while the air was chill and gray. 
 
 And people who ventured out j'ou'd hardly think them sane 
 
 To see them hurrying with breathless haste to get indoors again. 
 
 Far up the mountaia on Pennsylvania's famous railroad, 
 A train was moving along weighed down with a heavy load, 
 Its speed increased rapidly till it was going at a terrible rate, 
 And it still kept gaining headway pushed on by its awful weight. 
 
 The engineer^brave men who never know or have a fear — 
 <juickly reversed his engine and tried to stop its mad career: 
 He whistled help from the train hands, tho' he knew 'twas all in vain. 
 P^or a dozen men could not stop the mad rush of that heav3' train. 
 
 Did he jump and tr}- to save himself? Not that brave eng^ineer. 
 He thought of all his loved ones and felt that death was near, 
 Yet he bravely and firmly remained there at his place, 
 As his train rushed down the mountain at such appalling pace. 
 
 He neither looked to the right nor left, but gazed straight on ahead 
 And saw just then, in its awful distinctness, the danger signal, red. 
 He pulled the whistle open wide, asked God for His protecting grace: 
 Reversed his engine once again, and stared Death calmly in the face. 
 
 Right before the station, on the same track, he saw another train: 
 Forgetting not his dutj- he tried again, with all his might and main, 
 To slack his speed, but 'twas too late, and with a mighty bound. 
 They went together with a crash that was heard for a mile around. 
 
 The debris and the ruins were almost magniticent in their awfulness, 
 How great it was only an eye-witness could nearly guess. 
 
72 
 
 Ttipy found when it was quiet, after the roar and the tumult, 
 Three killed and a dozen injured was the sorrowful result. 
 
 Three homes where on Xmas would have been happiness and good 
 
 cheer, 
 Were filled with desolation: were rendered sad and drear. 
 But that brave en<,nneer was savedl a miracle they say, 
 Yes, performed 1>y (Tod whom he called on for help that fatal day. 
 
 We praise the heroes of the war, and say that they were brave; 
 Would stand or fall fig-hting- their country's honor to save. 
 But the heroes of today; the men who know no fears; 
 Who face death every moment, are our noble engineersl 
 
 Lon<r live those noble heroes! the men who are true and brave. 
 Who will always risk their own life some other life to save. 
 They shirk not their duty, even when death is nigh. 
 But trust all in their Creator who rules from on high.

 T will ([note a few reiiuirks iiuido by Rev. M. H. Sangree, 
 1). I)., of [lairisbiirii;, Pa., in his meirioriain of father, who 
 knew him from a boy until death: 
 
 "His Ufe by inlun-itanee and early training was Ijuilt of 
 heroic material, lie was not an ordinary boy, amid the 
 many temptations and attempts to lead him away. He re- 
 vered (Joil, honored the Sabbath, read his Bible, went to church, 
 searciied for good books, sought the companionship of good 
 men; lie was industrious, exact and honest. This was his 
 young manhood, as I remember it. And these marks of his 
 early life continued through his maturer years and made it 
 what it was, a very noble life. He was an honored elder in 
 the Reformed church from early manhood."

 4. James Milton Sangree, (1871), m 1896, Mary E. 
 
 Heffner. (1871), Reformed minister, Trinity 
 
 church, Philadelphia. 
 James Milton Sangree, son of Joseph Isenberg and Mary 
 Ann Norris, was born at McConnellstown, Pa., January 1, 
 1871. He was baptized in infancy and after a confession of 
 
85 
 
 faith in our Lord Jesus Christ was confirmed in Trinity Re- 
 formed church of that place at the age of sixteen. 
 
 His early education was obtained in the public schools 
 of that town. At the age of seventeen he entered Ursinus 
 Academy at Collegeville, Pa. He was graduated from Ursin- 
 us College with high honors in 1893. Three years later he 
 was graduated from the School of Theology then at that place, 
 being awarded the two prizes offered in Church History. 
 
 He was licensed to preach the gospel by Juniata Classis 
 of the Reformed church in annual session at Marklesburg, Pa., 
 1896. He was then called to the pastorate of the Durham 
 Reformed charge, Durham, Pa., where he was ordained to the 
 Christian ministry. His pastorate at this point covered a 
 period of sixteen months, when he resigned October 1, 1897, 
 to accept a call to the First Reformed church, Spring City, 
 Pa. This pastorate covered a period of seven years and a 
 half. He resigned this pastorate t o accept a call to Trinity 
 Reformed church, Philadelphia. He began his pastorate in 
 Philadelphia, February 1, 1905. 
 
 Splendid success has crowne d his labors in each of these 
 fields of labor. His present pastorate is in one of the first 
 churches of the denomination, distinguished alike for its ag- 
 gressive work and large benevolent contributions. 
 
 He has been honored by election to a number of posi- 
 tions of trust and responsibility. He is one of the managers 
 of Pennsylvania Bible Society, the oldest Bible society in 
 America. He is a Director of his Alma Mater, Ursinus Col- 
 lege, having been elected to this office by his fellow alunmi. 
 He is also a member of the Board of Visitors to the Central 
 Theological Seminary, Dayton, Ohio. 
 
 In May, 1896, he was united in marriage with Mary 
 Heffner, of McConnellstown, Pa. Three children have blessed 
 this union — Paul Heffner, aged 10 years; Lillian Marie, aged 
 6 years; and Helen Frances, aged 5 years.

 Ifc has boon the historiaii of the Isenberg family, whose 
 ancestry has been so closely related to that of the Smouses. 
 He is now engaged on a new and enlarged history of the family. 
 His present home address is 1.141 N 7th street, Philadelphia.
