Thanks for the reply Deborah. I came across the marriage of Johann Daniel Francke and Elisabeth Lang, 24 May 1768. I wanted to see what children they may have had. I am researching the Franck surname and looking for a birth record for Frederick Franck b. 1788.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me where I can find the baptismal and marriage records of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, short of going to Pottstown? I am looking for records that cover the 1780s and 1790s. Thanks very much. Dale Bricker

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - April 15, 1905 EAST GREENVILLE MISS SUDDENLY LOSES VOICE Miss Ella WELLER, of East Greenville, an employee in the Columbia Silk Mills, of that borough, was a week ago suddenly and without warning deprived of her power of speech. She was astounded when she tried to converse with another employee and could not make herself heard. A special effort was made but on account of the slight noise made by the warping machines in the mill she could not make the friend understand. After the young women came out of the mill she again tried to talk above a whisper. By a hard effort she was able to make herself understood. Dr. John G. HERSH, of East Greenville was then consulted and he has been giving Miss WELLER treatment for the past week. Her vocal chords are affected and under the treatment she is gradually but slowly regaining her former power of speech. At this time she is able to make herself understood to persons who are several yards away from her. Miss WELLER, is only about twenty-three years of age. She is still able to attend to her duties at the silk mill and her sudden malady does not seem to affect her constitution. CASE SETTLED OUT OF COURT The case between Herman S. ROTH, of Pennsburg and a real estate agent DOYLE of Philadelphia, which was to come up for trial at this weeks term of court, was settled.

The real estate agent had Mr. ROTH's note for $500 as a fee for selling the Pennsburg Hotel property within one year, but in this he did not succeed and Mr. ROTH, himself made the sale, hence he did not think he was justified in paying the agent fee. The case was settled by Mr. ROTH paying him seventy-five dollars.

HELD UP THE ENTIRE BARROOM Shortly after ten o'clock on Wednesday two well-dressed masked men, with small, soft white hands, armed with big revolvers, entered the saloon of John TOMASZEWSKI, Ninth and South streets, at Reading. While the one covered a number of men in front of the bar, the other compelled the landlord to open the cash register, from which he took over $150. Both bandits escaped. BOY RECEIVES GUNSHOT WOUND ON BACK OF HEAD Grover, the fourteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles MEYERS, of near the Sorrel Horse Hotel, in Marlborough township, near Green Lane, was accidentally shot on Saturday afternoon with a shot gun, and after hovering between life and death for several days, the chances are that he will recover. The accident happened at about two o'clock at a target shooting match at the Sorrel Horse Hotel. Five sportsmen decided to have a friendly target match and young MEYERS was engaged to attend to the trap. The shoot was only in progress a short time when Harry BREY, of Green Lane, was standing ready with his gun, for the target. In some unaccountable manner the gun was discharged and the load struck young MEYERS on the back of his head, through a hole in the boards which were used for the attendant's protection. The boy was hurriedly carried to his parent's home nearby and Dr. H.W. SCHOLL was summoned. The physician found the boy in an unconscious condition and very weak from the loss of blood, and he did not expect him to recover. Seventy-eight shot were removed from the wound; some of them were deeply imbedded in the skull cap. The wound was dressed and restoratives administered, but the boy hovered between life and death until Sunday, when he showed signs of improvement. He regained consciousness on Sunday afternoon and ever since is gradually growing stronger. The attending physician now thinks he will recover, unless blood poisoning should set in. Had the shot struck a few inches lower the young boy would evidently have been killed instantly, for the shot would then have entered his neck.
