Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - October 10, 1903 PAIR OF HORSES DROWNED James TOWERS, a farmer residing near Spring City, on Saturday, lost two horses by drowning, in a peculiar manner. He had four horses hitched to a big roller, in the rear of the roller he had a plow attached and when the horses came into soggy ground, they got fast, began to kick and jump around. In their struggle they fell down an embankment into the canal, with the land roller and plow on top of them. The two front horses broke loose and ran away but the others were held down under the water by the pole in the roller and in five minutes they were drowned despite Mr. TOWERS' efforts to loosen them. They were valued at $350. TOMBSTONE FOUND IN MILL DAM While cleaning the old dam at Hagg's mill, near Boyertown, workmen found a tombstone bearing the following inscription in German: "Here rest I, Jermias KLEE, born Feb. 3, 1799, died May 30, 1808, aged 9 years, 3 months and 27 days." How the tombstone got into the dam is a mystery, but it is known that a man by the name of KLEE owned the mill property a century ago. CARLOAD OF COWS IN WRECK The carload of cows which Isaac S.

NEPHEW WANTS MONEY Register of Wills GROFF presided over a hearing Monday morning in the contested will case of Daniel KENDELL, late of Limerick township. He left a will devising his property to a number of nephews and nieces excepting out of the distribution James KENDALL, a nephew, who filed a caveat in protest that his uncle was incapable of making a will be reason of being of unsound mind. He alleges that the will was already written when brought to his uncle's home and that he was told to sign it and did so without reading it. The witnesses to the will are Edmund EVANS and C.M. SHADE residents of Limerick, who say that they signed the document at the request of the testator. In support of his contention that his uncle was incapable of making a will the nephew refers to the records of the Common Pleas Courts in which proceedings were begun on October 7, 1901 to have his uncle declared weak minded and that as a consequence the Court on November 4th that year appointed Wm. McHARG a committee of Daniel KENDELLs person and estate. The will, in addition to the bequests to relatives, contains a bequest of $50 to the Lutheran and Reformed congregation of Limerick Church. The will was executed on March 19th 1901, seven months previous to the beginning of preceedings to have the testator declared feeble minded. Jacob SHADE is the executor of the proposed will. On behalf of the estate it is claimed that the present will is an exact copy of a will made years before and that it required security because the executor mentioned in the first will had died. The hearing will be continued next Saturday. The estate is represented by Montgomery EVANS, James KENDALL by E.F. SLOUGH and the Register by J.A. STRASSBURGER. EPIDEMIC KILLING HORSES An epidemic prevails among horses around Lansdale, and animals are dying daily. Veterinarians are puzzled. Horses taken out in the morning are often attacked with the malady upon the roads. The disease is somewhat similar to diphthera, as a lump forms in the windpipe, which strangles the horses to death. Among the heaviest losers are Edward ASINE, of Colmer, who lost five valuable animals in three days, and L.S. LOUX, of Hilltown, who lost four in two days' time. BOY ATE STRYCHNINE PILLS FOR CANDY Thinking he had found some candy, John, the 6-year-old son of the Rev. George E.

Prompt work of a local physician saved the boy's life. PASTOR RETURNS FROM TRIP ABROAD Rev. F.N.D.

Hello All, I am looking for help with a few things pertaining to my YOCUM line. I have been researching this line for a long time and had information concerning the parents of my Isaac N Yocum supplied to me by a very reliable historian and researcher of the Yocums in PA. Needless to say I was estatic and have been working on that. I have run into a glitch however and am hoping someone researching any of the following might be able to help with information. In Montgomery co. There were two individuals named Isaac YOCUM approximately the same age that appear on the 1870 census. Both married, unfortunately, to a wife Caroline. The Isaac that is in Norristown in 1870 with wife Caroline and one year old son Clarence is my Isaac.Caroline's sister Clarrisa PINCH is also in the household. Isaac is listed as 24 and occupation "Police Officer". Caroline is 29. The other Isaac Yocum is listed as 26 wife Caroline 22. Daughter Mary 2. The line I was given as mine had Isaac's mother and father as Isaac Yocum and Lydia Stover. However the further I am into trying to document this I am finding conflicting information in different sources. Many researchers have Caroline KISTER as the wife of Isaac Yocum whose parents are Isaac YOCUM Sr and Lydia STOVER. Obviously, if this is so I have almost a year of research about to go down the tube. Questions: Is there any researchers of STOVER/ STAUFFER that have Lydia Oberholtzer Stover/Stauffer in their Line that can help with any direction? Any YOCUM researchers that are researching the families of Isaac N. YOCUM Sr or Isaac N YOCUM Jr (wife Lillie) or Clarence YOCUM.(wife Emma Florence Wightman) The family is of Norristown/ Philadelphia? Where do go to find records for information on Police Officers in 1870 Norristown area? Thanks much Kassie

HARLEYSVILLE COUPLE WEDDED George SOUDER and Miss Deborah WILE, both of Harleysville, were on Saturday united in marriage by Rev. J.L. BECKER, of Lansdale, at Christ church, Mainland. ON TRIAL FOR MURDER The trial of John D. CRESSMAN, of Schwenksville, this county, charged with the murder of Sydney DeSOLMS, of Norristown, in Phoenixville, about six months ago, began in the Chester county court at West Chester, Tuesday. The defendant was a barkeeper at a Phoenixville hotel and DeSOLMS partially intoxicated, entered the place. He was ordered out by CRESSMAN, when a scuffle ensued. It is alleged that CRESSMAN pounded DeSOLMS over the head with a weapon and continued to hit him after he was ejected from the hotel. A post-mortem examination showed that death was due to a fracture of the skull. CRESSMAN is a young man, 33 years of age, slender of built, rather dark complexion. The indictment was read to him by the Clerk of the Courts, and he answered in a clear tone, "Not guilty." "How will you be tried?" asked the Clerk. "By God and the country," was his answer. The selection of a jury was then proceeded with. The challengers were numerous by both the commonwealth and the defense, and the Sheriff was compelled to pick a man out of the audience to procure the twelfth juryman. The case, which is attracting a great deal of interest, is being tried before President Judge Joseph HEMPHILL. Clyde HOUSER, a Phoenixville insurance man, testified that he was in the hotel when CRESSMAN struck DeSOLMS. He was not close to the deceased but heard him say "You come out here and put me out." CRESSMAN got a club and came from behind the bar, saying, "Somebody open the door." The two men grappled, but CRESSMAN loosened his hold and struck DeSOLMS several times about the shoulders and arms. DeSOLMS was retreating backwards and CRESSMAN repeatedly struck him. They then disappeared into the hotel yard, CRESSMAN returning in a few minutes and going behind the bar. On cross-examination witness said that DeSOLMS had evidently been drinking. Henry MILLER, who was tending bar with CRESSMAN, when the affair occurred, testified that DeSOLMS told him on that afternoon that he was working with a knocker. When CRESSMAN entered the room DeSOLMS pointed at him and said "there is the -----." He also called him some vile names and threatened to break his face if he came from behind the bar. He saw CRESSMAN strike DeSOLMS on the wrist after which both went into the hotel yard. DeSOLMS returned some time later and asked for another drink saying that CRESSMAN had hit him on the wrist and that he believed that it was broken. He also said that he was going to see a doctor. Mrs. Kate McADAMS saw CRESSMAN strike DeSOLMS on the mouth while they were in the hotel yard. Mrs. Melinda COLEMAN also saw the fight in the yard. She testified that CRESSMAN had struck DeSOLMS six times after which he said, "Now will you get out?" DeSOLMS answered, "Yes, yes, I'll go." She said that DeSOLMS did not strike at CRESSMAN but was continually backing away from him. Clement COLEMAN, a waiter at the hotel, proved a dangerous witness. He said that after the fight DeSOLMS told him that CRESSMAN struck him on the head with a club. In the judgment of the witness DeSOLMS was sober. The morning after the affair CRESSMAN told the witness that his man had "pegged" out during the night. He did not see the blows struck. The defence will attempt to prove that DeSOLMS came to his death from heart disease; that he was able to walk about town for several hours after it is alleged he had received the blow at the hands of CRESSMAN.

SURNAMES: BERGEY, BREY, CAMPBELL, NICE, POLEY, SMITH, SNYDER The Hearthstone Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania Thursday - October 9, 2003 VALLEY PAST By Larry Roeder KLEINBACH'S MILL Some folks around here might still remember KLEINBACH's Mill. It sat along the Perkiomen just below Snyder Road in Marlborough Township. The mill had a long record of service, and several different names, before it passed into history. The dam erected to feed the millrace still holds back the waters of the Perkiomen and can be seen from Snyder's bridge. As a matter of fact, traces of the millrace can be seen from Route 29. From those clues, it's easy to picture where the mill stood. A hand pump and concrete trough that served the mill still stands along the east side of Perkiomen Avenue (Route 29) between Snyder Road and Perkiomenville. Every time I drive by the man-made monolith, I think of it as a kind of monument to the backbreaking work that went on at that location. As early as 1750, the swift flowing waters of the Perkiomen invited the construction of a variety of mills along its banks. When looking into the history of many of these mills, you can almost envision the changes in time as the operations of the mill itself changed. Before 1784, Jacob NICE built the original grist and sawmill on land he owned just below the mill of Jacob SNYDER. SNYDER's mill was on the Deep Creek, just north of where it intersected with the Perkiomen Creek. NICE sold the property to Daniel SMITH on March 20, 1798. SMITH converted the grist and saw mill into an oil mill and powder mill. On January 23, 1810 Mathew CAMPBELL bought the property and ran the operation as an oil-mill until he sold it to George POLEY on April 1, 1825. POLEY changed the mill into a fulling and carding mill. For those of you not familiar with those terms, Webster defines fulling as "making a garment full as by pleating or gathering." The term carding is "using a wire-toothed brush or machine to disentangle wool or other fibers before spinning." According to Beans 1884 History of Montgomery County, POLEY also manufactured linsey-woolsey, stocking-yarn and other fabrics at the mill. In 1842 POLEY added a four-story brick addition to the mill to expand his pulling operation. The large structure now straddled the millrace with milling operations on both sides! POLEY operated the mill until 1860. Henry BERGEY purchased the property from POLEY and ran it until 1871 when the building was destroyed by fire. The structure was rebuilt using the original walls and fitted up as a grist and planing mill. In 1884 it was still operating as such. When the Perkiomen Railroad was extended from Schwenksville to Green Lane on July 1, 1872 the location of the mill made it a considerable source of trade and freight for the iron horse business. Sometime between 1884 and 1902, E.S. BREY bought the mill property and conducted a coal and feed business there. In 1902 Fred K. KLEINBACH went to work for BREY at the mill. Three and-a-half years later, BREY took KLEINBACH on as a partner. When BREY died in 1918, KLEINBACH took over ownership of the business. In addition to milling, KLEINBACH bought and sold a variety of commodities. You could buy hay, straw, feed, coal and even horses at KLEINBACHs. According to my down-Valley history source Ken KLEINBACH (who happens to be Fred's son), there were periods "when 50 to 60 carloads of straw and hay were shipped each year to cities like Allentown and Reading for use in their firehouses." The hay and straw were baled on the west of Route 29. Tracks laid across Route 29 allowed the bales to be ferried across the street on small pushcarts to be loaded onto railroad cars. >From time to time, Fred would purchase draft horses, break them in and sell them to city fire departments to pull their steam engines, ladder wagons and hose carts. The horses were kept in a barn on the west side of Route 29, and led across the street to quench their thirsts at the water trough that still stands by the highway. The KLEINBACH Mill passed into history when it was tore down in the 1950's. But the evidence of its existence and value to a growing region reminds us of the thriving businesses that operated at that location for nearly 150 years.
This is the right Ephriam Brunner, but they have his age wrong in this 1880 census. It should read that he was 27. He's also not living with his parents in the 1870 census. I'm guessing the key to finding out who his parents are is in the 1860 Pottsgrove or Douglass Twp, Montgomery census.

The following excerpt is from an article about Homeopathy in Reading, PA, by Michael B. Kane. The web address for the entire article follows the excerpt. This was one of the subjects in today's Berks Co. Hist. Soc. Newsletter.

A nephew to Phelix and his wife, Andrew & Rose MCRACKLES were also living with the family at that time. I also find two possible Alice O'BRIAN's living in Norristown, PA during the 1880 census, the first being Alice O'BRIAN b. 1878-79 in PA the daughter of John & Mary O'BRIAN (b. Ireland) who were living with 5 children (Charles, Mary, John, Lizzie, and Alice) all born in PA at the time. The second possible match is Alice O'BRIAN b. 1865-66 in PA the daughter of Joseph & Alice O'BRIAN b. Ireland who were living with their 8 children (Sarah, Maggie, Nellie, Joseph, Alice, Lizzie, James, and Lawrence) all born in PA. I'm hoping to locate someone from this O'NEILL Family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
I'm searching for information on the parents of Ephriam BRUNNER b. 1858 d. 1918. He resided in the Pottsgrove, PA area. He was married to Gemellah ESCHBACH. They are both buried at the St. Joseph's (Hill Church) Cemetery, in Pike Twp. Thanks in advance for any help.
Enjoyed visiting your sites, Mark. I descend from the Boone family - old George and Squire and then my Hannah, sister of Daniel, so I enjoy reading from Montgomery and Berks Counties.....

Hi, folks I write a monthly history column for Main Line Today, a magazine that serves Philadelphia's western suburbs, including parts of Montgomery, Chester and Delaware counties. So, I thought those on these lists might be receptive to my posting an occasional link to these stories. This month's column, "When Tech Was Young," proposes that getting excited about technology is for young people or young countries. Perhaps that's why the Main Line has Conestoga Road, but still hasn't found room for Palm Pilot Way. Check it out at <A HREF="www.markedixon.com/retrospect.htm">www.markedixon.com/retrospect.htm</A>.

Here's Alexander in the 1870 census: M593 Roll: 1378 Page: 25 WHITE ALEXANDER 25 M W IREL PA MONTGOMERY NORRISTOWN 1870 Alexander 25 engine machinist, b. Ire Emma 21 at home, b. Pa Margaret 1 , b. Pa They are living in the home of John W. Landis or Sandis, 74 who is a retired farmer Here's the only Thomas in the 1870 index that fits. There were 3 of them: ages 37 and 76 both born Pa and this Thomas who is born Ire. The post office listed on the census page is "Gen. Wayne.

The 67 yr. old lives in Norristown but Upper Merion is listed for the other two. No one fits in the 1860 index as there is no one with the first names you list born in Ireland. Hope this has been helpful.

Nell in FL: From Gwynedd MM marriages: Squire BOONE, son of George BOONE of Philadelphia Co., yeoman, and Sarah MORGAN, dau of Edward MORGAN of said county, married 23da, 7mo, 1720, having consent of parents. This was in 'Marriages and Deaths of Montgomery Co, 1685-1800' by Charlotte Meldrum, pub 1999, page 38. There is also an interesting piece on this link about Benjamin Franklin having a mortgage on the Boone property! http://berksweb.com/histsoc/articles/franklinmortgage.html The Daniel Boone homestead is in Berks Co! If you use this link below, you can request copies of back issues of the Berks HS Newsletters and there is a query screen to see what articles have been issued on BOONE! http://www.berksweb.com/histsoc/review/ I have a HUFF line who went to Rowan Co. Valentine HUFF bought land formerly a grant of 640acres from Granville to George BOONE on the forks of Yadkin on Bear Creek. Boone had sold 320 of it to a Joseph HUGHES, and then Valentine Huff bought the 320 acres in 1774. Squire Boone had also gotten a land grant from Granville on adjacent property in that area. I have some info on Mocksville area if you want to contact me privately! Valentine's son, Valentine Jr married Jemima HUGHES, a dau of Joseph! I was in Mocksville in June with another HUFF descendent and have pictures at Jaffa Cem for Squire and wife which I will send to you separately!

Hello, I am interested in finding information on a Christopher Rodamer b. abt 1754. I found his Rev. War Pension file at the National Archives. On 15 Sept 1828 he said he was 74 years old. He had enlisted at 'Redding' (possibly Reading) in March 1777 in the Pennsylvania line and was at Valley Forge in the fall of 1777. He was discharged at NewBurgh, Orange Co., NY at the headquarters of Gen. George Washington at the end of the War. Also in the file he stated that he was 'brought up' in Pott's Grove,PA. One of the reseachers at the Montgomery County Historical Society suggested that I might be looking for a Christophe Rothermel and that I should also look in Berks Co. If anyone has any information or suggestions I would be very appreciative.

I know that Sarah was the daughter of Edward Morgan and have much documentation on his family, but I have never been able to accept the wife as Elizabeth Jarman and am looking for proof that she is - or isn't.

In reference to your comment: è Searching for documentation on Edward Morgan and è wife Elizabeth Jarman, as follows, to PROVE that they è lived in Montgomery County PA and that one of their è children was Sarah Morgan, who married Squire è Boone, and were the parents of DANIEL BOONE AND è MY ANCESTOR HANNAH BOONE. Nell ~ The Morgan Log House has a web page.....http://www.morganloghouse.org/ The link for their genealogy isn't active yet, but there is a contact link and you can probably get documentation directly from them.
