Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - July 30, 1904 LETTER FROM MUNICH It is not very long since I wrote to you from Achern, but in the short time that has elapsed we have made many miles and seen many beautiful places and a number of interesting things. We celebrated the Fourth of July in Stuttgart. There was a grand display in the City Garden "Stadt Garten," in the evening. The garden was brilliantly illuminated and decorated with American flags and bunting. A band, about 100 men strong, rendered most excellent music. The crowd assembled to be entertained numbered about 40,000 people. This crowd included a large number of Americans as well as Swabians and other Germans. The houses throughout the entire city displayed American flags and it took a great many glasses of beer, bottles of wine and campagne to give the finishing touches to the glorious 4th in Stuttgart. On the following morning my head (I will not say our heads) felt twice as thick as the morning before. In the afternoon of the 5th we went to Sulzbach to see a sister of my wife an at the same time to give good-bye to the others of her family. We proceeded to Munich to Bavaria next day. This we found to be a beautiful city with most excellent Bayrisch beer. "Hello buva, do gates." I wish you Pennsburg people could taste it. It is even better then that at the Pennsburg Hotel and I guess we all take another, and so on until my "frau" said to me "that is enough now," then I had to stop because I always do what she says. Next day while I was studying French my wife told me she was not feeling well and she could hardly walk any more. She wanted to go back to Frankfort again and said if she did not feel any better on arrival she would like to go home. I agreed to her request to go to Frankfort but told her we would talk about going home after getting there as I was not yet ready. From Munich we went to Carlsruhe, a very beautiful city, the Capital of my native land. On arrival we walked around the city, but Mrs. ROTH was hanging back all the time. We finally went to a hotel, took a good dinner and rested a while after which we left for the station to take the train for Manheim. While waiting for the train a young man entered the waiting room and walked right through. My wife said "guck do gate dar Greenviller Pfarra," Mr. DELONG. I said "I guess not, look once more," then Lizzie said "papa that is Rev. DELONG, go over and ask him." I went and asked him and found that Mrs. ROTH and Lizzie were right, but Rev. DELONG did not know me at first. We had a pleasant but short chat as time was limited. Rev. DELONG went to Heidelberg and we to Manheim, but before parting we promised to meet each other at London. On reaching Manheim we stayed till next morning when we went to Mainz and took the boat down the Rhine to Niederwald. This is a section of country that I wish all my Pennsburg friends could see, but time and space will not permit me to describe it. At Ruedesheim where we stopped, we saw a monument erected by the Germans after the Franco Prussian war of 1871 to 1872. It stands on top of the hill "Germania," overlooking France, and waving to that country not to force Germany to war again in an effort to wrest Father Rhine from the Germans. The monument is the largest of its kind in the world, being made of cannon captured from the French during the war. Next we went to Frankfort where we stayed four days so as to give Mrs. ROTH a rest, both of her feet had given out so that she could not travel any more. Next we spent two days at Applewein Garden where they sell nothing but Applewein (cider). To take in the conditions prevailing in this place will give a person an idea of real German life. Hamburg was our next stopping place and while there we decided to go home on the Steamer Moltke which was to sail from Hamburg on July 14. At 4 p.m., on that day we left for Dover, England, from which place we went to Boulogue, France and from there to New York, arriving at Hoboken at 10 o'clock a.m., Sunday July 24. On the return trip we had a mixed crowd, about seven-eights of them being Russian Jews. The return trip was not near as pleasant as the outward voyage. Mrs. ROTH, Lizzie and myself are glad that we are safe at home again in the midst of our friends. Hermann ROTH NEGRO OUTRAGE Another of the henious crimes that are horrifying the people of the country was perpetrated in broad daylight on Tuesday evening at Oak Lane, when Nellie CARRIGAN was assaulted by a brutal negro. The assault occurred within a short distance of the girl's home and every body is astonished at the daring outrage. The locality is thickly populated yet no one was near enough to hear the cries of the girl so as to render assistance. A nearby neighbor heard the screams of the girl and rushed in the direction to ascertain the cause. As he came on the Old York road he saw a negro running at top speed and from a clump of bushes at the road side came pitiful screams. The man's bicycle was standing in front of his house and he at once leaped into the saddle and gave chase. On coming close the fugitive turned to the side of the road and leaped over the fence but by the time the pursuer had dismounted and followed across the fence all traces of the negro were lost. The pursuer quickly turned back whence the cries had issued from the bushes and there found Miss CARRIGAN lying on the ground in an unconscious condition. An alarm was raised and two of the neighbors carried the girl to her home where she was revived, after which she related her terrible experience and gave a description of her assailant. The police were called and searching parties were organized, and all night long an effort was made to apprehend the criminal but no trace of him could be found. The people are so indignant that they will meet out summary justice if the negro falls into their hands. DAMAGES CLAIMED FOR RUINED DRESS Alleging that water from a street sprinkler splashed on her dress and damaged it so as not to be fit to wear, Mrs. Allen LADNER, of Pottstown, has brought suit against the Empire Hook and Ladder Company of that borough for damages not to exceed $300. The case was heard before a local magistrate on Tuesday but he reserved his decision and will render it to-day. BABY DRINKS POISON Beury LANDIS, the two-year-old son of Marion LANDIS, of Allentown, while playing, found a bottle of Spanish oil that had been used by another of the children for tooth-ache, and drank the contents. A doctor was called and for some the child was at the point of death, but it is considered to be out of danger. SHOT THROUGH HAND While James FOX, of Pennsburg, was emptying a revolver for the purpose of cleaning it, he accidentally pulled the tigger and shot himself. The bullet, a 32 calibre-short, passed entirely through the left hand very near the centre of the palm. Dr. WAAGE, of Pennsburg, was called to dress the wound. HORSE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING The house of John BERGENSTOCK, of near Chestnut Hill Church was struck by lightning and the plastering and washboards were torn from the wall. When the storm arose the family was on the porch but they immediately entered the house. The dog remained outside and was killed. KILLS 25 COPPERHEADS A fierce battle was waged on Wednesday by Dr. Henry C. BRENNEMAN, of Mount Joy, with 25 copperhead snakes, near his home. With a scythe he killed the largest one, measuring 50 inches, and succeeded in cutting down and dispatching 24 more. FARMER ROBBED AND WOUNDED Three robbers pounced upon A.F. WEISER, of near North Wales, at Edge Hill, on Wednesday night. They robbed him of a wallet containing $100 after shooting him in the leg with a revolver. A THRIVING INDUSTRY The Burial Casket Company, of Boyertown, has installed additional machinery into its recently enlarged plant and is placing a 200 horse power electrical engine to operate the works.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - July 23, 1904 FARMING IN YE OLDEN TIMES The cow is still the mainstay of the very earliest settlers. We find that the first cows were introduced into America by Columbus in 1493, but history is silent as to any particular breed, while later during the permanent settlements of Virginia, the fore-mothers of that colony were in time provided with these animals. In 1610, three years after the founding of Jamestown, a few cattle were brought from the West Indies and the penalty of death, for killing them, enacted, and by 1920 five hundred cows were found in Virginia alone, and from this small beginning, the cow has step by step, pushed herself to the front, so that she is to-day the Queen of every farm in the land, particularly so, in this rich Perkiomen Valley, where she has always been the farmer's money maker. In ye olden times butter making was an art and the woman who could make butter to satisfaction was considered an epicure of the farm, as butter making much depended upon the taste the woman had herself, if she was unable to taste the bad from the good, she was unable to make butter to satisfaction. In those days the number of cows milked depended upon the hay supplying capacity of the meadow land, then the only source of hay for horse or cow. One hundred years ago a typical farmer could keep a dairy of five milkers. From these he produced for the early winter market about eight crocks of butter, of from forty to fifty pounds each. Summer pasturage was no item. Only the meadows and fields under cultivation were fenced in and all the vast acres of unimproved lands were pastured. They were the great common pasture grounds of every farmer in the vicinity. Every farmer marked his cattle, when they were first run loose into the wilds. The mark in vogue was a peculiar cut in the ear and served to identify heads that had strayed into flocks of neighbors. Each herd had a bell cow, or bell sheep, and the farmers knew by the tone of the bell the location of their herd by night-fall. Every boy could relate his adventures while endeavoring to locate the cows and bring them home. From April to Holiday season, butter was salted down for market. Then came the annual trip to Philadelphia, an event of supreme importance and interest. Here we introduce to our readers that old familiar Conestoga wagon, which was used as early as 1775, when one hundred and fifty such vehicles were used in the Braddock expedition. The widely seperated communities scattered over Pennsylvania first suggested the Conestoga wagon. One of its peculiarities was the decided curve in the bottom, of a canoe shape, the object of which, was to prevent freight from slipping too far to the front of the wagon, when going down hill or too far to the rear when going uphill. This wagon received its name from the fact that the horses which hauled the earlliest wagons were bred in the Conestoga Valley of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, as well as, from the fact that the earlier wagons were made there. The demand for immigration built up the Conestoga wagon industry and during the War of 1812, Conestoga wagons came into very extended use. With such a great canvas covered wagon and four newly-shod horses hitched thereto and being equipped with provisions for man and horses, a bed for the man, etc., the oufit was considered complete. The distance was always estimated at from forty to sixty miles, in accordance with the locality in which the farmer resided, and practically from three to four days were consumed in making the round trip, while weeks however were required to complete the preparations for it. This market load consisted of butter, eggs, poultry, corn, rye, wheat and many other farming commodities, not only from one farm, but from many another neighbors' farm, as the neighbors alternated in making the trips and took one anothers' farm products along, selling them as if they were his own, a neighborly act indeed, which was in vogue prior to the advent of the country huckster. When butter was good it sold readily from a "levy" to fifteen cents per pound. The crocks were tested one by one, by plunging a curved blade to the bottom of the butter, twirling it to inscribe a small circle and lifting out a cylinder of butter. If so uniform in quality that the different layers in which the butter was put into the crock were scarcely noticeable, it was proclaimed good and commanded the best price, which varied only a few cents during many years. When below the standard quality only from eight to ten cents per pound could be realized. Happy was that farmer who did not need to offer any Philadelphia dealer, butter which had already been tested. Tested butter was a second hand article. It was worth what the shrewd dealer chose to give. The expenses of the trip were inconsiderable, since all needed provisions were carried. At night shelter was secured at one of the many inns which lined every much used route of travel, and during the early periods, the main thoroughfares had a hotel for every mile of road. Zieglerville, Perkiomen Bridge, Chestnut Hill and Flourtown were a few of the popular resorts for the farmers of the Perkiomen Valley, who made semi-monthly or weekly trips to the Philadelphia markets. The capacity of those hotels was always stated in terms of the space they had to shelter horses for the night. The number of beds for accomodation of travel was no item. Teamsters carried their beds, which they were allowed to throw upon the bar-room floor or elsewheres when that room was filled. Those reminiscences of the frequent bar-room experiences, when those old tillers of the soil came together, would make an interesting volume of reading matter by itself, if still enough of those old heroes could be found to tell the incidents. These journeys afforded the only contact with the outside world, which many experienced, either directly or indirectly, and were the sources of education as well as money. Next came the country huckster and poultry, butter and eggs were about the only products he bought of the farmers. He bought them on the go as you please plan, as was the custom at that time and which in some few localities is still practiced today, where farmers have no direct markets and are not able to sell their farm products direct to the best markets. He relieved the farmer of his commodities, took them to market and turned them into money, and afterwards gave the farmer what he pleased. This has of course been changed since, and farmers are so well posted by the daily newspapers, that they demand cash on delivery or a guarantee of what they are going to get for their products. In the early huckster days the trips were also made by team, while now the goods are all shipped by rail and sold the same day. What followed we all know, as no butter is made anymore to any amount and we now have the community creamery, or else our milk leaves before sunrise for the city of Philadelphia. This has relieved the work of the farmwife, and she no longer has to attend to half a hundred crocks of milk or help to turn the butter churn for several hours. Among the many household duties on a well regulated farm, the baking of the bread and pastry is quite an item, and today the farm house is rare to which an old-fashioned bake-oven is attached, and the old fashioned hearth bread baked by grandmother is no more, neither is rye bread used on the farm as was the custom half a century ago. With the passing of all this, went the cottage cheese, and in its place have come the many fine preserves, delicious cakes and pies, which do not always agree with the hard working farmer. The spinning wheel is stored away on the garret, and most of the old time operators have joined the great majority. Homespun, made from the wool clipped from the sheep, that were constantly kept in large flocks on the farms half a century ago, cannot be seen anymore and people now buy their clothes ready made, which relieves the wife of another task, and leaves only the mending part to her. Where is the grandmother that can still darn a pair of stockings? No more you say. Yes, nearly all are gone. How we boys used to wear those old blue stockings and how warm our feet were. No frozen ones, then, as now. While the good farm wife is still able to find work, wherever she glances, she however finds moments to spare, and her existence as Queen of the Farm Household is no more a monotonous round of cooking, making and mending clothes, dish-washing and out-door labor, but she can have her summer outings, go to church regularly, attend the social and literary meetings that are constantly held in her immediate community. She is no longer dependent on the horses which have a perverse way of falling lame, or being needed, when she plans to have an outing or visit a friend at some distant place. She however enjoys the privilege of the electric and steam railroads, and soon will ride on an automobile and fully enjoy her much needed day of rest and recreation.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - July 23, 1904 HAS PET GROUND HOG Peter W. BEELER, a carpenter and undertaker at Point Pleasant, Bucks county, is the owner of a tame ground hog that he captured several years ago when it was only a mite of an animal, and brought it to his home. It has not lost any of its natural instincts, and although it stays about the house and yard during the summer season, wanders away in the fall, burrows a hole in the ground and hides itself until spring. The ground hog is a household pet, although it sometimes gets into the garden and destroys considerable truck. During the summer it is fed on cakes and other dainties, and is so tame that it will play with Mr. BEALER's hunting dogs and often accompanies them to the fields. It has a fear of strange dogs, and if one comes near it will hide itself and return after the dog has left. OUR COUNTRY HAS ARMY OF PRISONERS A statement issued by the Bureau of immegation, at Washington, shows that the total number of inmates of the penal institutions, of this country is 44,582. This does not include Hawaii and Porto Rico. 28,939 are males and 15,643 females. There are 23,548 in State institutions, 14,979 in county institutions, 5358 in private institutions and 697 in Federal institutions. There are 24,717 prisoners serving for life. INSTALLATION OF REV. MOHR The 39th annual meeting of the Board of Management of Bethany Orphans' Home was held at that institution last Thursday. There was a very full attendance of the members, as well as the Ladies' Committee. Rev. Thomas M. YUNDT, who retired from the superintendency, rendered his report, which showed most gratifying results. There are 123 children at the home, eight having been admitted at this meeting. Of this number two are from Hanover, two from Bismarck, one from Strasburg, two from Allentown and one from Lancaster County. These officers were elected: President, Rev. Dr. B. BAUSMAN; secretary, Wilson F. MORE; assistant secretary, Rev. Thos. M. YUNDT; treasurer, C.G. GROSS; physician, Dr. H.S. LEVENGOOD. This will be the 39th term for Rev.

ORTT, of Emaus, Mrs. Daniel (Caroline) STAHLER (picture), of Dillingersville, brought her life to a peaceful close last Saturday, aged 89 years, 4 months and 15 days. The aged woman was born and raised at Dillingersville, Lower Milford township, Lehigh county, and spent all her life in the immediate vicinity of her birth. Her entire life was spent on the farm. At the age of 27 she was married to Daniel STAHLER, who preceded her in death in 1893. Since the death of her husband she has made her home with her only daughter, Mrs. Tilghman RITTER, where she was joined by her sister, Mrs. Seth WEBER, who is her junior by five years. Almost 20 years ago Mrs. STAHLER was stricken with blindness but she bore her affliction with remarkable fortitude, and although being unable to see she continued to do farm work, doing corn husking and similar things that could be accomplished without the aid of sight. In the main her health has been good and her hair remained jet black until the day of her death. On Saturday a week ago she left her home of Emaus and was taken ill of bodily infirmities on the same days from which never recovered. Besides her daughter, she is survived by eight grand children and fourteen great-grand-children. The body was removed to her home at Dillingersville, from which the funeral was held on Wednesday, at the Chestnut Hill church. EXCITING RUNAWAY While driving from his home at Alburtis to Allentown, on Thursday, a farmer by the name of LITZENBERGER, met an automobile on the road. The horse driven by LITZENBERGER which was a spirited one, dashed into a nearby lane leading to a barn, the doors of which stood open. On through the threshing floor the rush was continued and out through the open door of the overshoot where there was a drop of 20 feet. Fortunately there was a heap of straw in front of the barn and the horse fell on this or he would have broken his neck. The buggy with the man in it, almost scared to death, was caught in the door and remained in the barn. Both horse and man escaped without serious injury.

Surnames within this posting: WASHBURN, VAN HORN, MILLER & RENAULD Regions involved - Northampton, Carbon, Lehigh & Luzerne Counties PA, Kings & Nassau Counties NY Another WASHBURN line wall starting to crumble to reach present day relatives.................... Daniel H. WASHBURN is a grandson of Caleb WASHBURN, Caleb being a son of Silence & Jesse WASHBURN. Daniel H. volunteered for the Pennsylvania 81st., Company K on August 24,1862. It has been known that he died April 24, 1931 at Freeport, Long Island, New York however the last known census he appeared in was in Weatherly Pennsylvania, 1880. I found Daniel H. and wife Sarah nee Van Horn in the 1900 U.S. Census, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, living with his son Emory B. WASHBURN & family. The reason Daniel H. wasn't listed in the electronic indexes I've searched? The given name Daniel was entered as Dan'l, the "l" was a little blurp in the upper right. The 81st. PA Company K re-enactors have not been able to confirm Daniel H. was buried where he died in Freeport, NY or if he was brought back to the plot, lot # 238, he had in the Union Cemetery, Weatherly, PA. I know where the plots are, but no markers exist today. I will attempt to get a copy of Daniel H.'s death certificate from New York to ascertain where he is buried. If I find where he is buried, I believe the U.S. Government will supply a grave marker. Daniel H. was listed as a school director as per: From "History of Lehigh & Carbon, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" by Alfred Mathews & Austin N. Hungerford Chapter XXVI "The Borough of Weatherly" Page 782 "The School Directors have been as follows: 1883. - J.C. Streeter, C.J. Hoffman, Daniel Washburn WASHBURN brothers in the 81st.
