Thank you all for the responses to my query regarding William FREAS and Rachel CLARE. To the person descended from "Katherine Freas(1858-1911), born in Germany, who married Nicholas Miller.", My William FREAS was the son of George FREAS, Jr. (d. btw 1834 and 1834}, who was the son of George FREAS (sp vary) b. 1729, Europe, emigrated to PA possibly age 1 with brother Casper and d.1809. There doesn't seem to be a strong connection there. Much of the info on this family came from the "Alice Propes Collection" of papers housed at the Philadelphia Historical Society. My favorite piece is a small, literally scrap of paper, receipt dated 1804 to W. FREAS for having his mother bled. Regards, Joan

Is anyone researching this couple's ancestors/descendants? William FREAS 1795-1839 married Rachel CLARE 1795-1869 Barren Hill, Whitemarsh Twp, Montgomery Co, PA. St. Peter's Lutheran, Barren Hill Cold Point Baptist Boehm's in Blue Bell

I think you might be thinking about Siegmund Lubin, the builder of Betzwood Studio.Lubin open the Betzwood Studio in 1912. It was in Betzwood - across the river from Valley Forge. At one point it was the largest film studio in the Country. Lubin was a Jewish immigrant from Poland. he was an optician - who got into the movie business in 1897. Lubin went bankrupt in 1916. The expert on Lubin is a Professor at Montgomery Community College - Joseph Eckhardt. He holds a Betzwood Film Festival each year in may. Apparently the studios re-opened in a917 - run by Lubin's son-in law. The Toonerville Trolley comedies were filmed in Betzwood. My grandmother grew up in Port Kennedy. Family lore is that she was an extra in some of the films. Her step-brother told me that his father, who was a blacksmith by trade, would play a blacksmith when they made Westerns. (no verification - just lore) The studio does not exist anymore. I went to the site of it about 5 years ago - there was one building or so left - had been used for some industrial use. Last I heard there was going to be a mixed use development. You might want to Google ""Lubin". Hope this helps. Carol Clarke ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vincent E.

Can anyone tell me about Betzwood Film Co? Does it yet exist? Eaglesbath Onestar is listed as an actor for it. A moving picture actor. This would have been after WWI. Thanks! Vince Summers

Hi! I am seeking my cousin's relation, Chief Joe One Star, an entertainer and educator of children at various camps and parks in the 1940's and 1950's. He identifies himself as Oklahoma Cherokee, though I think he means the tribe was in Oklahoma, not he, himself. He attended Carlisle Indian School. I am beginning to identify him with two others, who may be one and the same! Eaglesbath Onestar - this fellow lists the same exact day of birth, except he says he was born 1898, and not 1900, as One Star was. However, this is on a WWI Registration card (of which I wish I had a good image!!). Naturally he would have wanted to appear older to get into the war. Then there is Joseph E. Mayer in the 1930 Bucks Census. That fellow is listed as follows: Bucks County, Morrisville, ED 41, Sheet 13A (it's stamped 41) Joseph E. Mayer age 30 - PA - England* - England Ada Ma[r]y Mayer age 33 - PA - PA - PA Elaine Mayer age 6 3/12 - PA - PA - PA He worked on the RR doing Electrical work. (again, I wish I had the image!!) Now my cousin's grandmother was maiden-named Ada Mary URIAN, and she was born in 1897! Thus the two birth dates (for Joseph and Ada) match to the exact year. The England, noted above, appears to be in error, and was a bit penned over in correction. So, since this is the WWI entry on Ancestry: Name: Eaglebath Onestar City: Not Stated County: Montgomery State: Pennsylvania Birth Date: 17 Sep 1898 Race: Indian Roll: 1907292 DraftBoard: 3 I am hoping someone will know him. And, I am hoping someone will actually have access to these images who would be willing to send me a copy via electronic attachment. Not in the form of a URL from Ancestry - that *never* works, and they know it. They make it too small to see, and if you try to enlarge it, they prevent you! Thanks, Vince Summers

Meeting Date: September 13, 2005 The OLD YORK ROAD GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY meets on the second Tuesday of each month in the Community Room of the Abington Free Library, 1030 Old York Rd. Abington, PA. Meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. and are free and open to the public. On September 13, 2005, the group will host a speaker from the Family History Center on Red Lion Rd. Many researchers know the value of the Church of Latter Day Saints in genealogical research but have never had the opportunity to visit one of the sites. Come and join us and learn how to trace your own family history. We meet in Abington but research families in many communities. Perhaps you will find a cousin you did not know about! Thank you for your continued interest in community affairs. You may also find it interesting to study your own family heritage. Betty Smith csmith655@comcast.net

Joe, I have a second list of burials to submit to the Montgomery County Archives, from plaques at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Pottstown. You will need to re-format them. I can't seem to find your e-mail address to send them to you, and when I click on your name at the archives your address doesn't appear for me. So I hope you are subscribed to this list. Betty

Does anyone know if Lower Skippack Mennonite Cemetery or the Skippack Historical Society keeps records of gravemarker restorations? I am particularly interested in my ancestor Johannes Biehn (1652-1746), Row 19. Apparently his stone was located and repaired about 1984 (Donald M. Biehn, BIEHN/BEAN FAMILY of Bucks County, Pennsylvania and Ontario, Canada: 1700-1986) . There is a debate among my genealogy cousins whether or not his birthdate is correct on the restored marker. Buried beside him is "Elizabeth B(iehn)" (R. E. Hollanbach, "Burials at Lower Skippack Mennonite Church", 1970). Her stone appears to be an older fieldstone. Thank you for any suggestions or help. I have a photo if anyone is interested in viewing it. Judy in Colorado jfrazier@sugarloaf.net

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - July 29, 1905 PARDONED COUNTERFEITER NOW AT POTTSTOWN William M. JACOBS, the counterfeiter, who was recently pardoned from the Atlanta penitentiary arrived at his home at Pottstown on Tuesday. When JACOBS arrived at the station he received a loving greeting from his wife and three children, and nearly all day he spent with them. Tuesday afternoon he visited the cigar factory of Shively, Miller & Co., one of the members of which firm is his uncle, who expects JACOBS to go in to business at Pottstown. WILL OPEN A LAW OFFICE IN PENNSBURG W.P. YOUNG Esq. of Pottstown, a practicioner at the Norristown Bar, will in a short time open a branch office in Pennsburg and East Greenville. He was here on Wednesday making arrangements. Mr. YOUNG is no stranger in this section he having been raised in New Hanover. He was a former Clerk of Courts in this county. TEAMS COLLIDE AT BALLY A team drove into one driven by Calvin ALTHOUSE, of East Greenville, on Saturday evening while on the public highway near Bally. The shaft of the wagon was broken and the occupants were badly shaken up but no one was injured. The team that Mr. ALTHOUSE had, belonged to liveryman Harry HEBERLE, of Pennsburg. WILL MOVE TO SCHWENKSVILLE Charles STOTTMEISTER, of Mill Hill near East Greenville, will move to Schwenksville during the first week of August. He recently purchased a small lot there and will live retired. Mr. STOTTMEISTER recently sold his farm to Miss Sallie BROWN, of near East Greenville, who will occupy it after he moves to Schwenksville. PURCHASED A LARGE ENGINE The brick manufacturers REED and LANDIS of Pennsburg, have purchased a 50 horse power Nadig engine and will install it in their plant. The small 25 horse power engine will be thrown out to make room for the new one. TEN DOLLARS FOR BASS Frederick ECKSTINE, a Trooper resident found a fishing trip along the Perkiomen to be a most expensive day's sport. He secured a fine specimen of rock bass, four inches in length. The specimen proved so handsome that he retained it, contrary to the law. While ECKSTINE was congratulating himself over his capture, the fish warden came around and almost instantly divined the situation. As a result, ECKSTINE became the warden's prisoner and was taken to Norristown, where, before Magistrate LENHARDT, he was arraigned on a charge of illegal fishing. Besides having his sport for the day spoiled and suffering the pain of arrest, ECKSTINE had to pay a fine of $10 and the costs. Considerable complaint has been received by the Fish Commission officials at Harrisburg, from residents along the Perkiomen Creek, relative to Sunday fishing. As a consequence, the fish warden in this district received notices, from the department, to place under arrest all persons known to indulge in Sunday fishing and have the fine of $25 imposed. The warden was also notified to place under arrest all persons caught fishing with more then one rod or line, which is an infraction of the law, and for which a penalty of $25 fine is imposed. SNEAK THIEF GETS AWAY WITH BAKER MONEY Baker S.W. KRATZ, of Souderton, was recently robbed, by a sneak thief. He went into the baking house to pay his employees, depositing several bags containing money on the seat of a wagon in the shed next to the bake house. When he returned it was discovered that one bag, containing $22 was missing. The thief no doubt had been watching Mr. KRATZ counting the money in the office and then saw where the bags were placed. Quickly grabbing the one, the sneak dissappeared in the darkness and as yet there is no clue. Mr. KRATZ considers the act a very contemptible one and will do all in his power to locate the guilty party. WORKER IN BUCKS COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOLS J.M. SHELLENBERGER, of Telford, has been appointed to work in Bucks county by the Pennsylvania State Sunday School Association during the summer months, and entered upon his duties Monday a week in the Fourth district. Mr. SHELLENBERGER is a senior in the Franklin and Marshall Seminary, Lancaster.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - July 29, 1905 TELFORD POST OFFICE LOOTED BY BURGLARS At about 1 o'clock last Thursday morning burglars, no doubt of the professional type, broke into the post office at Telford, which is located in the new Town Hall, opposite the depot and adjoining John M. KUHN's hotel. An entrance was effected through the front door by using a chisel at the lock and then forcing open the heavy door. Once inside the safe, was tackled, the door penetrated and a charge of nitroglycerine shattered it into small pieces, some of which were thrown into the ceiling, one piece imbedding itself. The letter case, furniture and a pane of glass in the front were damaged, but this is no loss compared with the booty taken from the interior of the safe. There is missing about $125 in cash, $50 worth of stamps and various denominations, money order blanks, drafts, account books and all the records of receipts, payments made, etc. All this transpired while the residents were enjoying a good night's rest, the first of a week's hot wave. Several persons, it is stated, heard the noise of the concussion, but paid no attention to it. One person witnessed two men carrying a mail pouch, leaving the front steps, but failed to give an alarm, not thinking that anything was wrong. The robbery was discovered when Assistant Postmaster Howard WAMPOLE went to open the office for the day's business. Postmaster Harry Z. WAMPOLE was on a vacation and only heard of the affair Thursday forenoon when he met Inspector STONE in the Reading Terminal, Philadelphia, who was on his way to the postoffice to investigate the loss. There are no clues to the identity or whereabouts of the robbers, but it is hoped the department detectives can land the guilty ones. WOOD SHED AND CHICKEN HOUSE ON FIRE The frame wood shed to which is attached a frame chicken house belonging to Mrs. Lewis KEHL, of Pennsburg, was nearly destroyed by fire on Tuesday forenoon. Wm. STELTZ a painter of East Greenville was engaged in painting the roof on the dwelling house nearly when he was attracted by a crackling noise. He looked around and saw the flames shooting up from the wood shed. An alarm was raised, and in five minutes the Pennsburg Fire Company was there and had a stream of water playing on the fire. The fire was extinguished in short order. A frame barn standing within six feet was already badly scorched from the intense heat and in three more minutes it would have been in flames. The fire company did efficient work. PIGEONS HATCH A CHICK Quite a novel affair took place last week when a pair of pigeons, belonging to Ellwood HIGH of Dillinger, hatched a little chick and are now caring for it as if it was one of their own. A chicken had laid an egg in the box that was occupied by this pair of birds and they at once began to set on it without the owner knowing it, and had been setting for some time before it was detected and consequently they were left go until last Saturday when a cute little chick made its appearance. Both pigeons and chick are very much attached to each other and whenever they leave the nest the chick begins to chirp in a loud tone until they return. ICE HAD MELTED IN STORAGE PLACE During the ice season last winter H.B. SHELLY of Dillinger, converted an underground portion of his barn into a small ice house and filled it with ice from Emanuel MOYER's dam of near Limeport and had been using some of it occasionally until this week when they wanted to make ice cream and to their astonishment found that the ice had all melted. The fruit which was to be used to flavor the cream had already been prepared and all other preparations made when to his chagrin he found that the ice was gone. BUTCHER GOES TO NEW POSITION John GEHMAN, employed as a butcher by E. WEISS, of East Greenville, has accepted the position as bar clerk at the KEELY House, East Greenville, and will enter upon his new duties next week. AN OLD TURTLE A.D. CARL found a common turtle on his farm near Dillinger which carried with it the mark of P.F. 1809. The letters P.F., mean Peter FLORES, who marked the turtle ninety-six years ago. MACUNGIE BIGAMY CASE AT AN END It transpired on Wednesday that the bottom has dropped out of the case in which Henry MERKLE accused Mr. and Mrs. Reuben HUBER of Macungie, of perjury and bigamy. About 30 years ago Miss Sallie DANKLE was married to Henry MERKLE, who deserted her 21 years ago. Nineteen years ago she sued him for non-support and got separation papers and charge of her children. Working like a slave she reared her children respectably and saved enough to buy a home near Macungie. All these years MERKLE, her runaway husband, did nothing for her. He wasn't heard from, and she didn't know if he was dead or alive. Thinking the separation paper was effective as a divorce, in fact no longer regarded him as her husband. Last Easter she was married to Reuben HUBER, a widower of her own age, 52 years, who was a neighboring farmer with some property. Several weeks ago MERKLE turned up and hearing of the wedding made a great fuss about it. He had his wife arrested for bigamy and accused HUBER of "corrupt and wilfull" perjury for swearing when he got the marriage license that his intended wife was single. Several hearings were held before Alderman FRY. The General, who is as gallant as he is full of wisdom, lectured MERKLE and wanted to know why he came around now to make trouble after doing nothing for his family for 21 years. District Attorney SCHANTZ, who reparesented the Commonwealth, came to the conclusion that no convictions could be secured. HUBER, thinking his wife was divorced, swore in good faith she was single when he applied for the marriage license. He is certain HUBER isn't guilty of willful perjury. As to the woman, he is of the opinion that no jury would convict her, since she honestly thought she was divorced 19 years ago and furthermore thought MERKLE dead. He has decided to drop the prosecutions, but advised Mrs. MERKLE-HUBER to get a divorce from MERKLE and then get re-married to HUBER. HARVEST HOME SERVICES AT HUFF'S CHURCH Rev. O.R. FRANTZ, of Old Zionsville, pastor of the Reformed charge at Huff's Church will hold a harvest home service there on Sunday forenoon, August 20 at 9.30 o'clock. Rev. W.W. BOND of the Lutheran charge at the same place will hold his harvest home service on Sunday, August 27 at 9.30 a.m. ARTESIAN WELL IS FINISHED The artesian well which T.A. ZIEGENFUS, of Sellersville, bored on Emanuel LEVY's farm near Geryville was finished on Monday. It is 120 feet deep and throws from three to five gallons of water a minute. The well drillers moved to the Curtis WEISS farm a short distance away where they will also drill a well. FISHERMEN HAD GOOD LUCK Isaac RAUDENBUSH, Oswin and Ambrose SEASHOLTZ and Frank SNYDER, of East Greenville, spent the major portion of last week fishing at Bushkill, Pike county. They returned on Saturday with one hundred and sixty pickerel. Some of them were of enormous size. FARMER FOUND LARGE STALKS OF OATS Joseph B. YUINGLING, of Hill Church, Berks county, found some exceptional large stalks of oats while harvesting his crop. He placed several on exhibition in DOTTERER's store which measure 5 feet 9 1/2 inches. He would like to hear from some one who raised larger stalks. CHURCH ORGAN WILL BE DEDICATED The new church organ in the New Hanover Lutheran church will be dedicated on Sunday, August 6th. An all day and evening service will be held. The work of erecting it was completed this week. GERY FAMILY WILL HAVE REUNION The GERY family has decided to hold a reunion at the Siesholtzville Park in the near future. A committee on arrangements has been named and they will shortly hold a meeting to decide upon the date and make final arrangements. ELECTED PRINICIPAL OF OHIO SCHOOLS Prof. E.W. ERNEY, of Steinsburg, Bucks county last week was elected principal of the High School at New Waterford, Ohio.
