Someone inquired about the two sisters (Susan and Catherine Fegely) mentioned in the William Y. Swinehart obituary transcribed below. I've forgotten who asked, so I hope whoever it might have been is on the Montgomery Co. list, or that someone can use the information in the obituary. William, his two wives and a daughter and a Jacob H. Swinehart are buried together at the Pottstown Cemetery, East. Weekly Advocate, Pottstown, PA Saturday, December 8, 1900 William Y. Swinehart, a much esteemed citizen of Pottstown, died on Thursday morning in the University hospital, at Philadelphia. Nearly six weeks ago he went to the hospital to have an operation performed for removal of gaul [sic] stone. His health had been impaired by this trouble for some time previously, but his physical constitution was naturally a strong one. He was in the 69th year of his age. Deceased was twice married, first to Catharine and then Susan Fegely, who were sisters. His children are Mrs. Samuel Wert, William F., Maurice C., Isaac E. and Daniel H. Swinehart, all of Pottstown. He was a brother to Rufus Y. Swinehart, of Pottstown and a step-brother to Howard, of Philadelphia, and Amos Swinehart of Lower Pottsgrove. Deceased was a native of Lower Pottsgrove, and a son of Henry Swinehart. His early years were spent on the farm, but when he was sixteen years of age, he went up into Schuylkill county, near Tamaqua, to do lumbering for William Mintzer, that was the step in the direction of the business that he was destined to follow chiefly in his life. Returning to Pottstown in a few years, he was first employed in the lumber and coal yard of Fegely & Brother, and later he became a member of the firm, which changed to Fegely & Company, the members of it being Jacob Fegely, Samuel Fronheiser and W. Y. Swinehart. Fifteen years ago the firm dissolved and deceased purchased the lumber yard of the late firm and conducted it successfully for some years. Afterward, however, in doing kindness for others came adversity and business reverses. In more recent years Mr. Swinehart served as highway commissioner and for several years past was inspector of lumber at the Agricultural Works. Pottstown Cemetery SWINEHART, William Y.
