    3. Actually, Spring Mill is what we in PA call a village. A village in PA is an unincorporated area in a Township. As such, unless someone has the population of an ED in 2000 that would roughly define Spring Mill, the population would be an estimate. I can't improve on Dan's citation. "Montgomery County, the Second Hundred Years" (1884-1984) gives us the following: The Post Office was William Penn from 1869 to 1914, and then changed to Spring Mill until 1923, when discontinued (Conshohocken). "Spring Mill takes its name from bubbling springs that feed a short "run" to the Schuylkill upon which a gristmill was establsihed about 1715. These springs maintain a constant temperature of 54 degrees." These is nothing more written about the mill. Conshohocken library and a historical society have resources. dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel J.

    3. The name Huber, is derived from an old German word "hutre" meaning the possessor or guardian of a small tract of land or a farm. which would indicate that the family is descened from a clan of Swiss farmers, as the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, was the original home of the Hubers many of them still residing there, with record that date back more than 800 years. In the course of time the spelling has been changed in various sections, so that we now have the variations of Huver, Hover, Hoober, Hoover, and Hooper. Hans (John) Huber, was one of 1st immigrants to PA, came between 1710 and 1715 settled near the present village of New Holland, Lancaster, then Chester County. There he died in 1750. Jacob, son of Hans, on Jan 10, 1754, deeded his land to his two eldest sons, John and Martin, and took up the land in Southern Lancaster County, the Martie, now Providence township. He married and had children; 1. John, married and had; John and Martin, who remained in Lancaster county; Jacob, who went to Rockingham County, VA. 2.

One of these settled in Lancaster, one in Bedford County and one in the state of GA.. Jacob Huber settled in Bucks County, married, and left a number of children. One of his sons, Henry, born in 1751, moved from Bucks to Montgomery Co in 1797 and he died there April 8, 1809. He had children; Christian, Jacob, Philip, Elizabeth, who married John Rile, Mary, married William Kneedler. The Hubers have alway been men of high principle and have ever been ready to give their lives in the defence of what they considered the right. In reference to this we may mention a few of those who lost their lives in defence of their civil or religious rights. Among the honored martyrs of this name, who suffered in the caus of religion, we find, Wolfgang Bandhuber, a minister of Passau, in 1529; Hans Huber, of Waserburg, Bavaria who was burned at the stake in 1542, Wolfgang Huber, of Lutzenberg, perished by the sword in 1559; Hans Huber, of Horgerberg, was thrown into prision in the Othenburg, Switzerland, where he was kept in chains for life, having been taken there in 1645; Ulrich Huber, was beheaded in the north of Holland in 1797.

    1. [PAMONTGO-L] News from Pennsburg - May 16, 1903
    2. Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - May 16, 1903 AN EMINENT EDITOR AND LINGUIST A "self made man" is the only fitting term to be applied to Henry A. SCHULER (picture) who recently resigned the position of editor of the "Welt Bote," "Friedens Bote" and "Lecha Bote" after a continuous service at the head of those three noted weeklies of Lehigh county, for 22 years. Mr. SCHULER was the only son of the late Thomas SCHULER, of Hereford. He was born in Upper Milford, Lehigh county, but when he was less than a year old his parents moved to Hereford. Mr. SCHULER owns the homestead which is less than a quarter mile from the Lehigh line, a mile from the Montgomery line and not far from the Bucks line. At nine years of age Mr. SCHULER for the first time attended school. Prior to that time his father taught him at home. Most of his instruction being in the German language. By some means the studious boy found that other languages existed and whenever he discovered an unknown word or one of a foreign language he invariably made a note of it and when he reached home he would not rest until he found what it meant and knew to what language it belonged. At the age of ten he was the proud owner of a text book on Latin and studied it industriously. He ceased his attendance at public school, the terms being only four and a half months, at the age of 17, but applied himself assiduously to his studies. In the spring of '70, he began to teach in Hereford, near Chapel. He continued his labors in the school-room till 1881, having rested one year. While teaching in Treichlerville, near his home, Rev. O.S. KRIEBEL, principal of the Perkiomen Seminary and Prof. H.W. KRIEBEL, of the same institution, were enrolled among his pupils. Being of a studious disposition and having a special liking for languages, he devoted much of his leisure time during the period that he was engaged in teaching to the study of languages and literature, thereby acquiring a reading knowledge of French, Spanish, Italian, Greek and Hebrew, and making himself thorough master of English, German and Latin, the latter being his special favorite. He has contributed numerous articles to educational papers and translated a number of German hymns into English and a number of English hymns into German. For a number of years he was a monthly contributor to a Latin Journal, the "Praeco Latinus" (Latin Herald), a journal that aimed to restore the Latin to a living language, and whenever he and his fellow workers on this journal met, all their conversation was in the purest classical Latin. During the period that Mr. SCHULER was engaged in teaching he attended the Normal School at Millersville for one term and later he graduated with the class of '77 at Kutztown, but it would be a misnomer to assert that he was a student, in the accepted sense of the word, at the latter institution, as at the time of his entrance he was much farther advanced in all the branches of the course than any of the rest of the class and the work was mere review for him, and most of his time was devoted to more advanced studies in which however, he did not recite in any class. During most of the long time Mr. SCHULER devoted to journalistic work he paid untiring devotion to his invalid wife who was paralyzed and unable to walk for more than 10 years. Death relieved her from her sufferings about a year and a half ago and his father died about the same time. His bereavement added to his constant hard work, has so shattered his health that he found it necessary to relinguish his position, but he will continue to contribute to several publications. A TRYING EXPERIENCE Ed. SIMON, of Lanark, tenant on Solomon STEPHEN's farm, last week had a trying experience while plowing. There occurred a sink hole in the field where he ploughed and while driving along at the usual pace one horse began to sink into the ground with the front part of his body. Mr. SIMON quickly loosened the one that was sinking and the other horse ran away with the plow. He then went to work and succeeded in getting this horse partly out of the hole, when the horse went down with his hind legs and in his efforts Mr. SIMON fell into the hole himself. He managed to get out soon and after some more exertion succeeded in getting the horse upon solid ground. The hole was full of water, and both horse and man might have been drowned. Mr. SIMON is congratulating himself upon his narrow escape. WILL GO TO PHILADELPHIA HOSPITAL Laura the only daughter of Jonas BOYER, of near Sumneytown, will shortly undergo a serious operation at a Philadelphia hospital. Dr. J.E. BLANCK, of Green Lane, will accompany her to the hospital and assist in the operation. WILL SELL OUT DRUG BUSINESS Dr. J.G. MENSCH, of Pennsburg, has decided to sell out his drug and hardware business. He will sell all his stock at and below wholesale prices. His advertisement in another column states what he has for sale. WALL FELL ON WORKMAN An accident occurred at Kumry, Bucks county, on Saturday afternoon, to Harvey BEALER which might have caused him instant death. Mr. BEALER was assisting several other workmen in tearing down a stone kitchen at the residence of O.B. KLINE and while busily engaged in removing some of the lower stones, a huge top stone loosened and fell down within three inches of Mr. BEALER's head. The stone caught his hand and pinned it down until the other workmen removed the stone. The thumb of his left hand was badly crushed and the hand was also lacerated. Dr. H.W. WICKERT, of Milford Square, was summoned and dressed the injured hand. The large stone weighed about four hundred pounds and had it struck Mr. BEALER's head it is quite likely he would have met instant death. FOUND AN OLD TORTOISE Nathan FRYER, Jr., who is in the employ of Charles SCHLICHER, of the Queen of the Valley Farm, near Pennsburg, last week found an old tortoise while plowing. He noticed that an inscription was cut in its shell. He examined it and found that the date 1860 and the initials F.E.N. were on it. He recognized the tortoise as one that he saw on his father's Nathan FRYER Sr., farm at Sassamansville man years ago. The distance between these farms in about five miles. LARGE RYE STALKS Watson BAIRNEY, a farmer residing in Philadelphia county, just outside of the Montgomery county line sent to this office several rye stalks which, when measured were found to be sixty and one half inches and fifty-nine and one half inches in length. He raised them on his farm. He is the father-in-law of our present County Commissioner John S. SHELMIRE. HORSE KILLED ON ACCOUNT OF GLANDERS State Veterinarian L. PEARSON, this week instructed Dr. Jesse Z. HILLEGASS, of Red Hill, to kill the horse of George GERY, of Palm. The horse was under the treatment of Dr. HILLEGASS when it was ascertained that he was affected with glanders. The horse was recently purchased by Mr. GERY from D.K. GRABER and was one of the express horses which were shipped here from New York State. SOLD OUT WALL PAPER BUSINESS Samuel T. SUMMERS, of Pennsburg, this week sold out his wall paper business to John CHRISTMAN, of the same town. Mr. CHRISTMAN is thoroughly familiar with the business having been an assistant to Mr. SUMMERS for some time. He will endeavor to give prompt and efficient service to those in need of his work. LARGE FARM AT PLOVER SOLD Mahlon HILLEGASS, of East Greenville, sold his farm at Plover, of two hundred acres to Messrs. KIETER, SCHAEFFER and BLANK, of Allentown. They purchased the property principally for the woodland. The tract contains twenty acres of woodland which will be cut down. The place was known as the Daniel EBERHARD farm and it has been in the EBERHARD name for over 150 years. The price received for the farm was $6400. RECEIVED HORNED TOAD John STIGMAN, one of the clerks at the Kutztown Foundry and Machine Co., received a California horned toad from his father, Henry STIGMAN, residing in the Golden state. The toad is a great curiosity and is a great pet at his boarding house. It has many of the characteristics of our opossums - pretending to be dead when it is touched and so on. BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT ERECTED Gerhart & Derr, the tombstone cutters of East Greenville, this week erected a beautiful granite monument at the grave of Mrs. Alfred SCHANTZ, on the New Goshenhoppen church cemetery.

The heaviest loser is Uriah BIERY, a large real estate owner of that section. He gets $20, 429. (including $5541 of H.P. Pilgert & Co. insurance on lumber), and losses from 12,000 to $15,000. Mannoah L. FRITCH could save nothing of his valuable contents on which he had only $900 insurance on a loss of $3500. Mrs. FRITCH was at house cleaning when she was ordered out carrying nothing with her but the clothing she had on and had to borrow clothing of neighbors. She was taken out in the country where she is prostrated. Furthermore no injury resulted to humanity and only some chickens and a few hogs perished in the flames.

Calvin DELONG, the new pastor of the New Goshenhoppen Reformed Church, of near East Greenville, would be installed on a given date, and also stated who the installation committee would be. This may be correct, but the chances are that it is not, as this will not be definitely determined until at the meeting of the Classis. The Classis will meet at Pennsburg this coming week and appoint the installation committee and make the date of installation.
