Hi Peggy, Are you familiar with the journal, The Perkiomen Region? In Vol. 1, No. 6, published on Dec. 1, 1922 is an article on Nicholas Wohlfart/Wohlford who came to Pennsylvania on the ship, Snow Charlotte, on Sept. 5, 1743. It describes several generations of his family. It also includes a transcript of his will. It mentions your ancestor, Catharina, the wife of Peter Daub. Much of the data in this article comes from the Nicholas Wolford family Bible. His family is mentioned in many of the same records as my Mook/Muck/Muk family. I haave often wondered if the Wolford and Muck/Mook families were related in some way. Nicholas Wolford is mentioned as an overseer of the poor in several places in an article called "The Marlborough Township Book." This article was published in The Perkomen Region, Vol. 1, No. 4 on June 1, 1922. Nicholas belonged to the German Reformed congregation of the Old Goshenhoppen Church. I hope this is useful.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - March 18, 1905 A QUICK BUTCHER WHO IS READY TO CONTEST FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP Richard WOLF (picture). Boyertown takes pride in having the champion butcher of this part of the State for one of its citizens. Recently he killed a 2200 pound steer, skinned and dressed it and placed it inside of the refrigerator in the remarkable short period of twelve minutes. Mr. WOLF is a native of Germany, having been born at Dresden, in 1863. At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to learn the butchering trade. After finishing his apprenticeship he served three years in the German army. In 1887 he emigrated to the United States. On arriving in this country he worked in packing houses in New York, Chicago and St. Louis. Later he located in Reading, going into business for himself. In 1900 he sold out his business and entered the employ of H.Y. LECHNER, of Boyertown, with whom he continued ever since. During the winter drawing to a close, Mr. WOLF frequently killed from 20 to 25 head of cattle a day with the assistance of one helper, and he claims that not at any time was a record breaking effort made. But he is at all times ready to accept a challenge from any butcher of this section to enter into a contest for the championship. The contest to be for money or for the fun which so novel a scene would create. BOTH LEGS CUT OFF A Mr. KENT of Allentown a front brakeman on the Perkiomen Railroad yesterday forenoon met with a serious accident at Schwenksville, in which he lost both legs and will in all probability lose his life. He was working on the local freight No. 58 when the accident happened. While trying to fix a knuckle at a car while in motion at Schwenksville, he fell on the rail and had both legs cut off below the knee. Dr. BECHTEL was summoned who stopped the flow of blood and the unfortunate man was hurried by a special train to the Phoenixville Hospital. The amputation was there done in a surgical manner and the possibilities are that he may recover, although he lost considerable blood and grew quite weak until he arrived at the hospital. SURPRISE PARTY A CHAPEL A surprise party was on Monday evening tendered Charles FETTERMAN of near Chapel, and a large number of his friends spent a pleasant social evening. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Leon FETTERMAN, Mrs. Edward KLOTZ, Mrs. Jonathan GEISINGER, Charles FETTERMAN, Lulu FETTERMAN, Charles E. FISTER, Clyde HUBER, Ellwood HEYDT, Levi FETTERMAN, Stella FETTERMAN, Mabel FETTERMAN, Homer SCHULTZ, Sadie SCHULTZ, Stella HUBER, Cora SCHULTZ, Mabel SCHULTZ, Rosa SCHULTZ, Oscar SCHULTZ, Frank GRESSLY, Edwin ECK, Charles MESCHTER, Freddie CONRAD, Sallie TREICHLER, Newton TREICHLER, Harry ROBERTS, Lillie COVELY, Katie GERHART, John GERHART, Samuel GERHART, Horace HIESTAND, Edwin SCHIFFERT, Willis SCHULTZ, Adaline KRIEBEL, Amanda KRIEBEL, Mary KRIEBEL, Minerva KRIEBEL, George GERHART, and Ammon STRUNK. FINGERS CAUGHT BETWEEN RUNGS OF LADDER David O. BIELER, of East Greenville, had the second finger of his left hand painfully bruised this week while working on a sliding ladder. The weight of his body on the one ladder caused the fastening of the other to give way and when the two slipped together his finger was caught between the rungs. It was a miracle that the finger was not broken and smashed. PENNSBURG BANK SHARES SELL FOR BIG MONEY Twelve shares of the Farmers' National Bank, of Pennsburg, were on Saturday sold at the Thomas BARNDT sale at Tylersport at the highest prices they ever sold at. Five were sold at $167.50 each, five at $171 and two at $169. They were all pruchased by Levi SHELLENBERGER, of near Sellersville, a director of the Sellersville National Bank. FINED FOR CRUELTY Milton MOHR, of Church Hill, Bucks county, was before Justice of the Peace Andrew C. GROFF, of Sellersville, Tuesday afternoon, with charges prefered against him by the Pennsylvania Society Protection Cruelty to Animals of neglecting to properly provide for seven cows, two heifers and two horses. Witnesses testified that the cows looked like skeletons with skin drawn over them. That they were filthy and had manure in the stables from 18 inches to two feet deep, and could not see that any bedding had been used. The only feed they could find in the barn was hay. Dead chickens were lying in the entry of the barn and it appeared as if they had been there for some time. Some of the cattle were so weak that they were not able to stand up. Mr. MOHR had been notified by the society two years ago that he must take better care of his stock and give them better food or they would proceed against him and several times since the warnings had been repeated, but he paid no attention to them until complaints came in so thick and fast that they decided to prosecute him. Judgment was rendered against Mr. MOHR and a fine of $10 and costs were imposed upon him. He acknowledged that the cattle did not pay him and promised to dispose of his cows. FIRE IN SMOKE HOUSE DAMAGES MEATS N.H. LEESER, proprietor of the Palm Hotel, this week lost nineteen hams and shoulders which were damaged in his smoke house. Mr. LEESER thinks one of the hams dropped into the fire, which was built for smoking the meats and set the entire contents of the house on fire. The fire was detected ere the building was destroyed but not until after the hams were all badly damaged. WALKING EXERCISE GOOD TO REDUCE FLESH Walking as a cure for corpulence has been advocated by doctors of Hazleton so extensively that a walking club has been organized to test the remedy. Mayor KUIES and City Clerk HUGHES, both of extensive girth, are prominent members. Twenty-three others make up the club roll. As soon as the weather opens the members will take five-mile rambles daily. DOG HUNG ON FENCE ALL NIGHT A big dog belonging to Wm. HEIL, of Macungie, tore loose from his kennel with a chain still attached to his collar, on Sunday evening and while roaming around the premises of Dr. H.M. SCHELL he hung himself on a fence. His howls were kept up all night until he was discovered and released in the morning.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - March 18, 1905 AGED AND INFIRM PASTOR TENDERS RESIGNATION The Lutheran Congregations, of the Sumneytown and Keelors churches were on Sunday apprised of the fact that their pastor Rev. William B. FOX, of Sumneytown, wished to resign. The resignation was presented to both congregations and it is to go in effect on April first. The reason why the Rev. Mr. FOX will resign is ill health. He is well advanced in years and during the past year his health began to fail him and the reverend gentleman decided that this step would be best for him and also for his congregations which he served so faithfully for thirty-seven consecutive years. Until about a year ago the Pennsburg and Sassamansville churches belonged to the same charge and were served by Rev. FOX. During his pastorate at these churches the number of members of each has increased considerable and his work will stand as a monument in the Perkiomen Valley. While pastor of the Pennsburg Congregation the large and handsome church edifice was built, but on account of the charge being then divided, he could only enjoy the privilege of being its pastor for a short period. He however was instrumental in having the charge divided as it was entirely too large and too far apart for one pastor to serve all. So he was retained by the two nearest and most convenient congregations. His congregations are loath to accept the resignation but probably will for by so doing Rev. FOX will have less work and worrient and his former health may be restored. TWO KILLED WHILE STEALING RIDES After spending part of Sunday at Schuylkill Haven to visit another brother, Harvey and John SCHAEFFER, aged fifteen and nineteen years respectively, boarded a coal train to return to their home near Bernville, Berks county, in the afternoon. They decided to get off at Hamburg but the train was going at a good speed. Both jumped and were thrown under the wheels. Harvey was instantly killed and John had a leg cut off and was otherwise injured, his death following in an hour. NEW INDUSTRY FOR LANSDALE Lansdale is to have another new industry. This is to be large canning factory in the northeast end of town. W.E. MORRIS, who for several seasons has conducted a canning factory at Line Lexington, intends to move the industry to Lansdale, where he can have better shipping facilities. He has bought ground and will have a switch to connect with the railroad for freight purposes. THIEVES STEAL HAM AT CHAPEL Thieves on Monday night entered the home of John and George STEINMAN, near Chapel, Berks county, and stole a ham and some clothing. They entered the summer kitchen and there found the wash from which they took some under clothing. A ham that was in the same kitchen was also stolen. They first trimmed off all the fat and threw that on the floor. The work was evidently that of tramps. PURCHASED A PALM PROPERTY The John SCHLICHER homestead near Palm was this week purchased by Mrs. Annie CUTLER, of Des Moines, Iowa, at private sale. Mrs. CUTLER was formerly of East Greenville. She is a sister of Clement SCHLICHER of that town. WILL BUILD DOUBLE HOUSE AT SUMNEYTOWN Frank BARNDT, of Sumneytown, has decided to build a double dwelling house in that town. He will also erect a barn. Work on the buildings will be started as soon as the weather permits. CREDITORS OF C.G. HEIST WILL MEET The creditors of Charles G.

I've "rescued" two old photographs identified as members of the SCHANELY Family of Pennsylvania. The first is a photograph of Martin SCHANELY of Pottstown, PA. There is no studio information on the photograph, however, I'm guessing that the photograph was taken in the 1870's or 1880's and that Martin was likely in his early teens at the time. The second is a photograph of Nicholas SCHANELY which was taken at the J.R. Applegate Studio in Philadelphia, PA. The photograph was probably taken in the 1880's with Nicholas likely in his 40's or 50's at the time. The photographs were recovered along with other belonging to the SCHULTZ and NAGEL families of PA. I'm hoping to locate someone from this SCHANELY Family so that the photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Thank you for your time. I wish I had this book in my possession even though I've read it a number of times through interlibrary loan.

Heritage Quest has many books on-line, but you can only access HQ through a library subscription. If you are a member of a large public library, many times that library will subscribe to Heritage Quest.

This book is an index, so it only lists names of decedents for which there is an estate on file. There is a file for Philip MILLER, Registrar of Wills file 14242, and also a Philip Miller at New Providence, RW file 14244. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Anne" <brumah@yahoo.com> To: <PAMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 7:59 AM Subject: Re: [PAMONTGO-L] Index of wills & estate settlements, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, 1784-1850 > Hi Mona, > Thank you so much for your kind offer.

I am trying to tract some of my Fisher family. I have found some of Heinrich Fishers will born 1755. I believe in Montgomery County. I am trying to find the birth of his daughter, Mary Magdelana fisher. She was born around 1782. I have her taufschein. But cannot find her marriage to a Trexler. We think Joseph. Any thing floating out there. Henry/Heinrich had at least 5 siblings. His father was Jacob Fischer we believed married to a Maria Catharine Puddin. or so. Thanks for any help. Dianne

Personal estate to be sold. Exec: sons John and Isaac Tyson. Wits: Jacob Casselbury, Thomas Bean. Alice was not mentioned nor is in the index. There also were not any BOSE/BOWES. There is a will abstract for Matthias BOOZ, Gwynedd Will dated 1/17/1823, proved 2/15/1823, book 6.118. To wife Catharine, case of drawers, and household goods, and all realty.

Hi Mona, Thank you so much for your kind offer. My MontCo connection is through Philip Miller, who I think died after 1850, but I don't know who is parents were. I know there are probably a lot of Millers in there, but if any mention a son named Phillip, I would be very happy!
