The branch of the Dietrich family to which Samuel and Levi Deitrich, prominent citizens in their respective communities, belong, is descended from one of eight brothers of that name who came from Germany about 1740 and settled at Philadelphia. John Michael Dietrich, son of one of these eight brothers, was born in Philadelphia before the beginning of the Revolutionary war. When the battle of Brandywine was fought, in 1777, the Dietrich family lived near that now famous battlefield, and his mother took him and other small children into an underground cellar for safety. John Michael Dietrich served as a soldier under Maj. "Mad Anthony" Wayne, in 1794, in the Indian wars; and later he served in the war of 1812, receiving for his services four grants of land in Schuylkill county. It is probable one or two of these grants were located below Sunbury, in Northumberland county. After living for some time in Schuylkill county (where he was among the first settlers at what is now the site of Pottsville) he moved to a place, below Sunbury, in what is now lower Augusta township, and he farmed one of the islands of the Susquehanna river, all of which are embraced in Lower Augusta township. At this place he remained some years, and some of his children were married while the family resided there. Later he returned to Schuylkill county, locating in the Deep Creek Valley, in Barry township. There he died at an advanced age. He was a pensioned soldier at the time of his death. He was a cooper by trade. After leaving Philadelphia he had lived in Longswamp township, Berks Co., for a time, and there hie was married to a Miss Seasholtz. Thence they moved to Schuylkill county. He was tall, raw-boned and of dauntless courage, and possessed a roving and adventurous disposition, taking part in several wars. His ten children, five sons and five daughters, were: Conrad never married; Jacob never married; Philip was killed in the coal mines at Mount Carmel, Pa.; John was married and some of his family now live at Mount Carmel; George is mentioned later; Polly married George St. Clair; Betsy married Daniel St. Clair, brother of George; Hannah married Adam Snyder; Susan; Sally married Jacob Derr. George Deitrich, son of John Michael, was born in 1809, at Pottsville, Schuylkill county. In 1871 he moved to Mount Carmel, Northumberland county, where he died Nov. 3, 1895. He was a laborer, and for a number of years was employed in a brickyard, continuing to be active until late in life. His wife was Hannah Oyster, and their union was blessed with the following eleven children: Eliza was burned to death when twenty years old, at Newcastle, Schuylkill county; Harriet married Lance Parker, and they live at Shenandoah, Pa.; Mary, never married; Kate married Abraham Fry; Hannah never married; Elizabeth married Peter Kauffman; Sarah married Thomas Moser; George died aged four years; John died aged twenty-two years; Samuel is mentioned later; Levi is mentioned later. SAMUEL DEITRICH, former sheriff of Northumberland county, and at present warden of the county jail at Sunbury, was born in Schuylkill county June 21, 1854, son of George Deitrich. He began working in early youth in the coal mines, and followed the mining business until 1884, after which he conducted a hotel at Mount Carmel for five years. In 1894 he was appointed warden of the Northumberland county prison and served as such six years. In 1901 he was elected to the office of sheriff, in which he served in 1902-03-04. In 1909 he again received the appointment of jail warden, in which office he has since served. Mr. Deitrich has been active in Republican party affairs since 1880, and has served frequently as delegate to county convention, being a power in county political circles. He is financially interested in various business enterprises, and is a man of substance and prominence, occupying an honorable position in the community he has served so ably as a public official. He is a large man, six feet, two inches in height and weighing 240 pounds. In 1876 Mr. Deitrich married Margaret Jane Manney, daughter of Dennis Manney, and to them have been born six children: Mary married Claude Savage, and they live at Northumberland; Della is a school teacher at Mount Carmel; Maud married John Noadhecker and they live in Sunbury; Dr. George A. graduated from Mount Carmel high school and from Pennsylvania College, at Gettysburg, later attending four years and graduating from the University of Pennsylvania (1910); Ada died in infancy; Margaret is at home. LEVI DEITRICH (DIETRICH), justice of the peace and prominent citizen of Mount Carmel, Northumberland county, was born at Llewellyn, Schuylkill Co., Pa., in 1857. He began work at the coal mines as a slate picker when a mere boy, and followed the occupation of mining many years. In 1871 he came with his parents to Mount Carmel, where he has since made his home. Mr. Deitrich is a Republican and has been active in promoting the welfare of his party. In 1897 he was elected constable of the borough of Mount Carmel, serving in this office nine years, until, in the spring of 1906, he was elected a justice of the peace, which office he now fills with merit. Mr. Deitrich was END OF PAGE 253 also overseer of the poor of his district for some years. Mr. Deitrich is popular socially. He is a member of the I.O.O.F., the P.O.S. of A. and the Improved Order of Red Men. In 1882, when the Anthracite Fire Company of Mount Carmel borough was organized, Mr. Deitrich was a charter member, and for many years was its efficient treasurer; for twenty-one consecutive years he rang the fire bell. In May, 1878, Mr. Deitrich was united in marriage with Susan Stutzman, daughter of Adam and Susan C. Stutzman. To this union were born seven children, as follows: Elmer, George W., Clarence, Levi, Jr., John, William, and Annie (who died when three and a half years old). Mrs. Deitrich died May 7, 1899, aged forty-four years, six months, twelve days.

In the last paragraph of the message forwarded below is a reference to a marriage between Levi DIETRICH and Susan STUTZMAN. A bit more information of this family is that Susan was the daughter of Adam STUTZMAN, born 1809, and his first wife whose wife was named Susan - no maiden name known. Adam was a teamster and living in a county just west of the Susquehanna River. Later is second wife was Barbara SNYDER, born 1838, the daughter of Hannah DIETRICH and Adam SNYDER and they were living in Mt. Carmel. And, yes, these families were very much involved in the Anthracite Fire Co. of Mt. Carmel. I remember in the 1940's that my grandmother Laura STUTZMAN WEARY baked doughnuts for the Anthracite Fire Co. - think it was on Donut Day, Shrove Tuesday, but the date may be wrong - I was living in Philadelphia then, and just visiting Mt. Carmel usually during summer breaks from school. for more on Adam STUTZMAN, see my webpage: www.angelfire.com/sc/elida ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeanie Stout" <msjbostian@earthlink.net> To: <PANORTHU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 27, 2004 8:55 AM Subject: [PANORTHU-L] On line books > Here is the two in Northumberland that I used often. > Does any one know of any other great on line books? > Jeanie > Northumberland Co., History Books. > > http://www.rootsweb.com/~panorthu/ > > This has Herburt C Bell 1891 > > J L Floyd 1911 books. > > Columbia Co., History Books. > http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacolumb/cchome.htm? > > > Hanna DIETERICH, born 1813, married Adam SNYDER.
