It should have been Ix'iiiin years ago, while there
were yet livinir those of tlie third generation, who
eould havi' given more satisfaetory information of
tlie early aneestors that would be of great interest,
and value to the work, hut which with their demise
is forever lost. Already the ancestral thread was lost
to many who were unable to trace their lineage
farther than to the grandfather, or were totally
unaware of the fact that they wxre in any way
connected with the Fretz family.

Had the author been aware of the gigantic pro-
portions the work would assume, in tracing the
branches and whereabouts of many of the descend-
ants, and collecting the necessary information, it is
more than probable the work would never have been
undertaken. It is to be regretted that the records
are not more complete in many of the branches.
Owing to a lack of interest in the matter, some, for
reasons best known to themselves, failed to respond
to inquiries for information concerning their respect-
ive families, thereby causing these defects.

The work has been prepared at a greater sacri-
fice of time than was anticipated. Had all promptly
responded to communications the work would have
been far easier. The writer is far from satisfied with
the result of the work. He is aware that imperfec-
tions exist, but pleads in extenuation of the fact that
the difiiculties were insurmountable.

The author acknowledges himself indebted to
the many fi'iends for kind favors received during the
compilation of this work, and while we express our
sincere gratitude to all who in any wa}^ aided us,
we especialh^ acknowledge our indebtedness to those
who have very materially aided us. Thc}^ are as
follows: C. D. Fretz, M. D., of Sellersville, Pa., Rev,

A. M. Fretz, and Reuben G. Fretz. of Bedminster,

That the work may meet with general i4)})r()val

INTRODUCTION.

The history of the Fretz fjimily hi Aniericii has
hitherto been unpreserved save ])y personal reeoUec-
tions transmitted from generation to generation and
by such information as may b(; found in family
Bibles, church archives, public records, etc., and was
fast being lost to the world. The want of some
accurate, complete, enduring record of this old and
numerous stock has therefore long been felt and
the undersigned, among other descendants of the
blood, finally suggested the compilation and publica-
tion of a formal history of the family. The collection
of the information it was at once apparent w^ould
prove a gigantic undertaking and ought to be placed
into the hands of one peculiarly fitted for that
kind of work. As a person thus fitted, there stood
out in bold relief Rev. A. J. Fretz, and he was
at once solicited to undertake the task. He kindly
consented. The work was begun. Descendants were
hunted up, grandfathers and grandmothers inter-
viewed, family Bibles and old documents rummaged,
public records searched, thousands of letters written,
years of labor bestowed; and at last the information
attainable is about all attained, the work goes to
press and to-day we present to posterity and to the
world the fruit of our labors. We present the history

9 —

of a family whose settlement in this eountry dates way
back beyond the Revolution, whose descendants have
spread not only over every section of this broad
land but over Canada as well, and whose number has
already grown into swelling thousands. We present
the history of a plain, sturdy, country folk; of an
industrious, thrift}^, upright, christian people. We
present the history of an ancestry whereof we are
justly proud and whom we ever delight to honor.
We present the history of a people whose memory
posterity may cherish to endless day and whose vir-
tues the world may well emulate. Up to the present
generation, the family produced few (if an}^) profes-
sional men. It was a people of peace and quiet. It
was a line of unassuming, conscientious sons of toil.
Most of them were farmers. A few of them adopted
some other manual pursuits. But the generation
of to-day is not confined to the workshop and the
farm. It graces every walk in life. It is represented
in every profession. It has won high honors among
men. It has made its mark in business, in the school-
room, in journalism, in medicine, at the bar, on
the platform, in the pulpit. God speed the new
departure. May the Fretz descendants freely enter
the pursuit for which their tastes and capabilities may
fit them; may they keep pace with the car of prog-
ress, may they aspire to every thing that is worthy
and honorable but may they never forsake the vir-
tues of the fathers and Ijring shame upon an honored
name. May they so live that the very name shall l)e
a passport to respect, confidence, preferment. Every
man every hour of his life, whether conscioush' or
unconscious!}', is making history and that history
either is to his credit or it is not. May the Fretz
posterity ever bear this truth in their hearts and so

— 10 —

live that the liistoi'v of the future sliall be as resplen-
dent as tlie liistorv of tlie past. In every a^re monu-
ments have been reared to commemorate noble deeds
and illustrious careers and it is fittinir that the good
men do be immortalized— ^immortalized in bronze
and granite and marl)le, innnortalized in statue and
arch and sjjicndid ])ile. In every age the notable
works of men have l)een inscribed upon the annals
and it is meet that every worthy deed should be
preserved to the world. There is a monument, an
annal for good things done; and the proudest monu-
ment, the sweetest annal is that of a noble, blameless
life written on the hearts and wrought into the lives
of men. Though the chisel may never inscribe,
though the statue may never preserve, though the
page may never contain and though we have long
been sleei)ing the last sleep we may still live — live
from age to age, live in those w^hom w^e in life have
blest. And though unmarbled, unannaled, unsung,
unwept, unrememl)ered our names may be inscril^ed
on the book of life. May the Fretz descendants —
though worldly honors never crown their heads,
though their worth and works are unnoticed of men
— strive, whether by their struggle for lofty prizes
or by the beauty of their quiet lives, at least to laerit
the reward. With this hope — this prayerful hope —
we present and commit this work to posterity and
to the world.

LIST OF EXPLANATIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS.

In the preparation of this work it will be observed that all
descendants are recorded in the regular order of birth, from the
oldest down to the youngest throughout the entire connection,
each generation being marked consecutively from first to last.
The Roman numerals placed before each name are used to
designate the generation to which they belong, as: —
I. John Fretz (First Generation).
II. John Fretz, Jr. (Second Generation).

III. Manasseh Fretz (Third Generation).

IV. Margaret Fretz (Hestand.) (Fourth Generation).
V. Hannah Hestand (Urmy.) (Fifth Generation), etc.

Beginning with the first (I.) ancestor John Fretz, all his
children are named in the order of their birth. Then follows
his oldest son John Fretz (II. Generation), and his children,
(III. Generation) next, Manasseh being the oldest, is followed
down to the last of his descendants, then the second in order
of birth of the III. Generation, and so on until the end of the
entire branch of John Fretz, of the II. Generation is reached.
Then the second child of John Fretz, of the I. Generation, viz:
Jacob Fretz, is carried down in like manner to the last of his
descendants, and so on throughout the entire connections.

Where marriages occur between members of the connection
the husband carries the record. In all such cases, a numbered
reference is placed after the name and marriage of the wife,
as, for example - (See Index of Reference No. i.) In the Index
of References, will be found No. i. Hannah Smith, 167. On
page 167 in the body of the book, the family record is given.

In the General Index will be found the names of all males
of eighteen years and over, and the maiden names of all
females of eighteen years, and over ; also the pages on which
their family record is given in the body of the book.

This family History contains the names of over 9000, in-
cluding the names of over 1500 born bearing the name of Fretz.

THE FRETZ FAMILY HISTORY

The brothers John, and Christian Fretz, too-ether
with a third brother (name unknown, and who died
on the voyage), emigrated from near the City of Man-
heim, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, Germany, for-
merly known as the Pahitinate, or Rheinish Prussia.

They were of German origin, as is quite evident
from the fact that they wrote and spoke the German
huiguage, and were connected with a distinctively
German church.* That they were of German origin,
is also evident from the fact that on the opposite side
of the Rhine, in the province of Alsatia, there are to
this day, li\dng where they have lived for the past
two or three centuries, many Fretz's of an old Alsa-
tian Stock, who claim they are of German origin,
"as all true Alsatians are."

The Province of Alsatia was annexed to France
in 161:8, prior to that time it was always under Ger-
man Dominion, and while the French lanofuao^e was
exclusively taught in the schools, the language spoken
is a German dialect, ^\'ith decided variations in differ-
ent localities.

* The Meunonite church, of which Menno Simon (a Hol-
lander by birth) was its founder, had its rise in Holland, but
eventually spread into the adjoining countries of Germany and
Switzerland, where they also became quite numerous.

— U '

At what \n)v\ the Frctz ancestors landed, or the
exact date of tlieir an'i\al into this country is not
known, hut may have ])een hetween the years of 1710
and ITi^fU. It is said that they came to this country
during what was known as "the last persecution.'^
They were ^riven the alternati\'e of connecting them=
selves with the state church, or leave the country^
and they chose rather than to give up their religious
lilK'rty to leave the "Fatherland," the land of their
birth, and the homes of their kindred and friends, the
graves of their ancestors, and all the hallowed asso-
ciations of the home and country of their nativity,
and found for themselves a home in a strange and far-
off land where they could w^orship God ' ' under their
own vine and fig-tree," according to the dictates of
their own conscience without fear of molestation.

Undoubtedl}^ they had heard that America af-
forded a refuge for the oppressed and granted reli-
gious liberty to all its subjects, and naturally enough
they turned their steps hither, where they too, might
enjoy liberty of conscience. And thus are w^e, as
their descendants, citizens of this great liberty loving
country. How we, of to-day, should prize this
liberty! Think what our Ancestors sacrificed to en-
joy it. How they left their native land, a country
established many hundreds of years, to seek a home
in the new w^orld, in the wdlds of America.

They came about thirty-five years after the char-
ter w^as granted, and the great seal of England, with
the signature of Charles XL was affixed, and William
Penn became the proprietor of Penns3dvania. The}-
were here about thirt3^-five years before the French
and Indian war, in which George Washington, was a
British Colonel. Our first ancestor, John Fretz,
gjcpt beneath the sod before the fires of the Revolu-

— 15 —

tion were kindled, or about three years before the
battle of Lexington.

They came when the country was l)ut sparsely
settled, when the inconveniences were great, and
when the equally dangerous red man infested the land.
They were still living during the period when some
of the great subjects which eventually led to the war
of the Revolution were being agitated, and their chil-
dren were settled with families during the bloody
struggle for Independence, and although being— non-
combatants, they were true and loyal to the American
cause, and aided it as best they could, without com-
promising their religious faith by bearing arms.

Our ancestors and their immediate descendants
were Mennonites, who worshiped at Deep Run, Bucks
Co., Pa., first in the old log church, which was prob-
ably built in ITJrG, and later in the old stone church,
built in 1766, and which stood for over a hundred
years. The}^ no doubt aided in erecting this church,
both by contributing of their means and labor, and
from it they were carried to their last earthly resting
place in the cemetery adjoining. There may their ashes
rest in peace until the trump of Gabriel shall awake
the dead to come forth, and obtain the inheritance of
the faithful.

Which of the two brothers was the elder is not
known as no records of the birth of either have been
found.

Christian, settled in Tinicum township, Bucks
Co., Pa., along the Tinicum Creek, on what is now
known as Heaney's ]Mill.

It is not known where John Fretz at first settled.
He afterward settled in what was then Plumstead
township, but now Bedminster, on what is kno^^i as
the Old Fretz Homestead, situated about one mile

- IH —

North East of Bcclininstervillc, now owned })y Ely
Fretz, and o('cu})i('d by his son. Mahlon M. Frctz.

The homestead orighiall}' eonsisted of 23(1 acres
of land, which John Fretz purchased of Bartholomew
Lonirstreth in 1737 or 1738, for which he paid 106
pounds. The release bein«f ^riven in the latter year
in the month of May. The tract when purchased
had a house, barn, and other Iniildings, ])ut was sur-
rounded on all sides by vacant and unimproved wild
land. A veritable wilderness. The homestead now
includes the whole or part of four farms — viz, Samuel
High's 69 acres, Ely Fretz's 57 acres, Isaac L. Fretz's
44 acres, and Reuben Miller's 60 acres. John Fretz
was a weaver by trade, and is known as "Weaver
John." Of his public services nothing is known of
especial interest further than that he was one of the
committee to form the new township of Bedminster
in 1741.

He was twice married, Ijut the maiden name of
neither wife is known. By his first wife Barbara, he
is known to have had five children, and by his second
wife, Maria, three. There may have been more, l^ut
if there were they died young.

John Fretz died in 1772, probably in February.
His last will and testament, was dated January 29,
1772, and was probated on the third day of March of
the same year, which shows that he died between the
two dates given. The pro^dsions of the will were that
his son Christian should have the farm, and pay 800
pounds, and each of the children were to have equal
shares, except the sum of 60 pounds which was to be
distributed among the children of his first wife, and
which came fi'om their Grandfather, (probably on the
mothers side.)

— IT —

To the widow was willed a 100 pounds of which
she was to receive the interest as long as she remained
his widow. She was to have the house in which
George White Kved at that time.

The last Will and Testament of John Fretz, as
an old and rather peculiar document, will no doubt be
interesting reading, and of sufficient importance to
warrant its insertion in the history of the connection,
and it is herewith produced— entire as follows:

In the name of God Amen. I, John Fretz, of
the Township of Bedminster in the County of Bucks
in the Province of Pennsvlvania, Weaver beine: sick
in body, but of sound memory blessed be God unto

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN FRETZ,
SON OF WEAVER JOHN.

II. John Fretz (son of Weaver John) was born
Mar. 1730; died Ma}- Jrth, 1826, aged 96 years. Mar-
ried Mar}^ Kolb, of Tinicum Twp., Bucks Co., Pa.,
in 1751:. She was born Sept. 10th, 1730, died

He lived previous to, and at the time of his
fathers death, in Haycock Twp., Pa., on the To-
hickon, where he owned and run a mill. He after-
wards moved below Doylestown.

In 1800 he emigrated to Canada with all of his
family except his daughter Barbara, who married
Jacob Silvius, and remained with her family in Bucks
Co., and Moses, who went out to Canada the year
previous. The journey to Canada was in wagons,
and on foot. The old people rode and the younger
members of the family walked. It is said that Mrs.
Hippie carried her child all the way to Canada on foot.

The journey was a very tedious one, through the
thinly settled wilderness. In some places they had
to cut a road through the forests, and for lack of
bridges they had to ford the streams. Thus on their
way they experienced many inconveniencies and
hardships. On one occasion near the close of the
day, something broke about the wagon, without the
repair of which the}- could not proceed, so one of the
boys took a horse from the wagon, rode back twenty
miles to the nearest blacksmith shop where the iron

22 •

was repaired, and returned arriving at early dawn,
when the horse was put to the wagon, and the jour-
ne}^ continued. An incident which will serve to show
the spirit of John Fretz, occurred during his resi-
dence in Pennsylvania. It was during the early days
of the Revolution. The patriot army being some-
what destitute of arms, the soldiers went from house
to house collecting guns for the army, from the
settlers. On coming to his house they asked for his
gun. He took the weapon from its accustomed place,
and replied to the soldiers saying, "Yes, you can
have my gun, but I'll keep hold of the butt end of
it.-' In 1801, the first Mennonite church was estab-
lished in Canada, — known as Moyers church. Of
this church he was ordained Deacon in 1801, being
the first Deacon of the Mennonite church in Canada.
Among the relics retained of the home of John
Fretz, is a barrel churn of white cedar, made by him
in Bucks Co., Pa., ninety-four years ago (1796) for
his daughter Elizabeth, wife of Abraham Grobb, and
is now owned b}^ John Grobb, grandson of Eliza-
beth. His children are: Manasseh, Barbara, Abra-
ham, Ephraim, Judith. Moses, Anna, Diana, Sarah
and Elizabeth.

he labored in the school room, till failing in health he
was compelled to seek other occupation. At the age

DESCENDANTS OF CHRISTIAN FRETZ,
SON OF WEAVER JOHN.

li. Christian Fretz, (son of Weaver John) was born
in 1T3-I-. He married Barbara Oberholtzer in IToT.
She was born Nov. 20, 1737. Their married life ran
through a eourse of forty-six years. He died May 1.
1803. His wife survived him twenty years, and
died May 8, 1823. It is a noteworthy faet\hat at th(^
time of her death, she was the mother of twelve ehil-
dren, had a hundred and nine grand children, and a
hundred and three great grand children. Previous to
his father's death. Christian, and his l)rother Isaac,
lived on what isjknown as the Isaac Fretz' homestead,
situated in Tinicum Twp., now owned hy Henry F.
M3'ers. He was one of the executors of his father's
estate, and inherited the old homestead in Bedniin-
ster under the conditions previously mentioned in the
will, and where he subsequently lived and died. To
the homestead he added by purchase from his son
John, the tract known as the ''Poor Fields," in 1793,
and which consisted of about 30 acres. He and his
wife were members of the Mennonite church, and
worshiped in the ever memora))le Old Stone Church
at Dee}) Run. which was the oldest Memionite con-
gregation in Bucks county. In his day the Indians
were yet (juite numerous, and often ({uite trouble-
some. It IS related that he had a very tine horse, to
which the Indians took a particular fancy, and
wanted to buy, but he would not sell it. The Indians
however, determining to gain possession of the horse,
«MJTie by night and stole it. Some time after, he

— 135 —

ascertained where the horse was, and went to the
Indian camp, arriving at evening, and seeing the
horse turned out to pasture, he cencealed himself
until slumlier had fallen upon the inhabitants of the
wigwam. The Indians had a custom of just before
retiring for the night, to go outside of their wigwams
and shout and make a great noise to frighten away
the wild beasts. Knowing this to be the signal for
retiring, he waited until he thought the}" were sound
asleep, and then entered the lot, secured the horse,
and returned home wdth it. It is also related that his
son Joseph had a very fine young horse, and that
during the Revolutionary war, when Washington's
Army was encamped below Newtown, that foraging
teams, accompanied 1\a' an officer on horseback, came
to Christian Fretz's i)lace for. hay for the arm3% that
the officer saw the horse, and in conversation with
the foragemen, said it Avas a fine horse, that he would
try and buy it, but if he could not buy it, he would
have it an\'way. The conversation between the
officer and men was over-heard by one of Christian's
daughters, who ran to the house and told her brother,
who was sitting at the loom weaving. As the officer
was coming to the house by the front way, to see him
about the horse, he not wishing to part mth it,
leaped through the window, ran to the barn by the
back way uno1)served by the officer, mounted the
horse, and rode towards the Haycock Mountain. The
officer however saw him as he dashed away with the
horse, and followed some distance until he lost track
of him. He rode the horse up through the wilder-
ness country, a part of the time fording up the
streams to cover his tracks and hid the horse at the
place now known as Shellenberger's milL A few
days later the officer came again to Christian's place,
and told him that he icould have that horse.

The next day, hoAvever, Christian accompanied by
a neighbor went to the Encampment at Newtown,
and laid the matter before the General in command.
The General gave him a writing of protection, told
him not to trouble himself about the horse, and if the
officer should come around aofain, to hand him that

— I3n —

paper. In a few days the officer came the .second
time, and very impudently made demands for the
horse, whereupon Christian handed him the paper
from the General in command. He looked it over,
dropped it and left. Among the relics of Christian
Fretz's home is a table now owned by Mrs. Lapp,
who lives at the Doylestown Mennonite meeting
house, which was used in his famih', and on which
he, being a wealthy man, counted his money. The
table was bought at the puT)lic sale of Christian
Fretz\s effects by Josei)h Wisler, and is now in pos-
session of liis daughter. Mrs. Lapp. The children of
Christian and Barbara Fretz, in the order of their
birth are, viz: John, Agnes, Joseph. Henry, Martin.
Jacob, Abraham, Isaac, P)arbara, Christian, Mary,
Elizabeth.

classical course. But duriiio- his coUco'c career his
mind was turned toward the ministry and when he
entered the junior \'ear it was with the desire, if the
way opened to enter upon this work. This desire

V. HenrvZ. Gill, M.D., L.L.D., born in Northampton
township^^ Bucks Co., Pa., Oct. 6, 1831. Mrd. Miss
Mattie 1V. Carpenter, of Columbus. Ohio. April 21,
1869. She being the only daughter of Timothy R.
Carpenter. After completing his twenty-first year
at home (at the place of birth), he went to a select
school kept by John Clark, A. M., about two miles
north of New Britain church, remaining several
months. He then returned home, taught school for
ten months in Plymouth Township. Montgomery Co..
Pa. Some time in l."^54 he taught a term of school
near Columbus. Ohio. Having injured his eyes by
too close application to study, he consulted a physi-
cian— connected with a College E\^e Infirmar}', com-
menced treatment, and after his school term was
completed, by the physician's suggestion and recom-
mendation, he commenced the study of medicine.
His orighial purpose having been to study civil engi-
neering. After attending a course and a half of
lectures, and close reading till the fall of 1846 he went
to Jefferson Medical Collecre at Philadelphia. Pa.,
from which he graduated in March. 1857. During
his time of study in Columbus. Ohio, he had charge
of the dissecting room, and aided in the Eye Infirm-
ary, These two circumstances gave him a taste for

— 150 —

surgery, and diseases of the eye, which were not
neglected, and were of much advantage to him in the
general practice of his profession. After graduating
he returned to Columbus, Ohio, and commenced to
practice, giving especial attention to the eye and ear
though not abandoning the general practice. The
war breaking out in 1861, a call was made for medi-
cal men. a law being passed requiring all to pass
examination; five years of practice being required,
or its equivalent in hospital for assistants, and ten
years for surgeons. Although in the examinations
he and another stood equal (third) in the list of over
fifty admitted to examination, yet he could be ap-
pointed assistant onh\ In the summer campaign in
West Virginia, he had the entire work of the Regiment
until winter, when he had the first severe sickness of
his life, and from which he probably never fully recov-
ered. The next summer (1862) foreseeing the probable
same experience of all the work T\dth part of the pay of
surgeon, he resigned, and was in a few days appointed
Surgeon of another Regiment, the 95th O. The former
being the 11th Ohio Infantry. The}^ were immediately
sent to the field in Kentuck}-; and on August 30,
1862 and engaged in the l)attle (three engagements in
one day) of Richmond. Ky., where a large part of
the regiment were captured, and man\' killed and
wounded. Remaining six weeks in the enemies' hands
with the wounded, they returned paroled to Columbus,
Ohio in October, and prepared for the work of 1863,
down the Mississippi River, and the seige of Vicks-
burgh, in all of which he (Dr. Gill) participated.
After that cam})aign and the second attack on Jack-
son, Miss., they spent the fall and winter in scout-
ing, and doing guard duty. He liad applied for per-
mission to appear l)efore the United States Medical
board for examination for Surgeon of Volunteers, a
higher position than Surgeon of a Regiment, though
of the same rank (Major of Cavalry). The numl)er
of such Avas limited by law of Congress. A ten
d'lys' examination satisfied the authorities and he
n^ceived his connnission from Abraham Lincoln. (It
is believed the first vacancy). He was at once sent

— 151 —

to the Atlantic Campaign, and very early assigned as
Surgeon in chief of the first Division, 20th iVrmy
Corps. Gvn. Joe Hooker's lighting corps. This posi-
tion he held to the close of the war, finishing the
Atlantic campaign, the famous march to the sea, the
Carolina Campaign, and so on to the great Review at
Washington in 1865. He went with the Western
troops, west to LouisviUe, Ky., and was honorably
mustered out in August 1865. Spent the fall in
traveling, the winter at the Jefferson Medical College.
In May 1866 he sailed for Europe where he spent two
years of hard study in hospitals, sixteen months in
Germany, the remainder of the time in Paris. Geneva,
and London, and returned to New York in May 1868,
and recommenced the practice of his profession in
St. Louis, in Oct., 1868. There he practiced and was
associate editor of the St. Louis Medical and Surgi-
cal Journal until 18T3. When at the solicitation of
friends he removed to Jerse\wille, 111. About 1875
or 6, the degree of A. M. was conferred on Dr. Gill
by McKendree College. Lebanon. 111., and the degree
of L.L.D. by the University of Wooster, Ohio in
1885, the Medical Department of which was located
in Cleveland, O., where he was living and lecturing
in the Medical College, occuppng the chair of Clini-
cal Surgery. In 1881 he was appointed Physician to
Southern lillinois Penitentiary, where he did some of
his best work. In March 1865 he received the first
Brevet (Lt. Colonel) of anv medical oflicer from the
state of Ohio. From Chester, 111.. (Southern 111.
Penitentiary), he was urged to take the chair of Sur-
gery in the Medical Department of the University of
Wooster, at Cleveland, Ohio, which position he
filled for over two years, then resigned on account
of over work, and severity of climate. In Oct., 1886,
he removed to El Dorado, Butler Co., Kansas. Hav-
ing at that time just completed his work on ''Diph-
theria, Croup and Tracheotomy," a work which cost
him much labor. In the spring of 1855, Dr. Gill
ioined the M. E. church, of Avhich he has been a
member ever since, and has held every official posi-
tion up to President of the '^Lay Electoral Confer-

71y., Im., 19d. Farmer and Linseed Oil manufr. He
lived in Hilltown Twp. , near Yost's Mill, on the farm
now occupied b}' Jacob Smith. He was an honest,
upright man, and held in high esteem. As a chris-
tian, he endeavored faithfully to discharge his religious
duties, in all of which he was conscientiously strict.
He never allowed any member of his famih' to leave
the church before the benediction was pronounced. An
adage of his was: ''Wer naus geht vor dem segen,
geht dem lluch entgegen.'' Though at times taking
a smoke, it was a saying of his, ''That he never
wanted to be a slave to tobacco or whisky." In the
time of the subject of this sketch, many of the lux-
uries of the present day were not enjoyed. There
were no carpets, and no parlor matches in those days.
Sometimes they had to go to neighbors for fire, and
on one occasion the Fretz' meadow was set on fire by
borrow^ed fire. For the married girls in those da3^s
the dry goods outfit was mostly home-made. The
spinning wheel was one of the fixtures of the famih'.
and iu this family of ten girls there were six spinning

— 188 —

wheels iroing at one time, eommeneing at 5 o'eloek in
the niorninof, and eontinuino^ until 10 and 11 P. M.
One of the daughters, Mrs. Susanna Funk, generally
spun 18 cuts of flax per day, and one day she spun
20 cuts. The reel and the shaving bench were in
the same room. Martin Fretz was one of the first
to get a Dearl)orn pleasure wagon. Bows and cover
were taken along, and if wanted, in case of rain, Avere
put up. Among the relics of this home is a bar of
soap made by his wife in 1816, one of her last acts,
now in the possession of a grand-daughter, Esther
Hunsberger, of Dublin, Pa. Martin Fretz was twice
married. His first wife was Anna Kratz, by whom he
had fifteen children. She was born Sept. 11, 1768; died
June 24, 1816. He married for his second ^ife Anna
Licey — . They were members of the Mennonite

Mo.; and on the 20th of Apr., 1880, moved ^dth his
family, from Chillicothe to Hannibal. Afterwards
when the duties of his position required him to be
mostly in the neighborhood where the mills of the
company were located, he found it more economical
and convenient to have his famity in that vicinity
also, and accordingly, on the 20th of July, 1885,
removed to Minneapolis, Minn. He continued A\ith
the above firm eleven years, during which time he
gained with them the highest esteem and respect,
both for his conscientious business integrity and his

- 212 —

excellent qualifications for the work in which he was
engaofed. In the spring of 18t)0 he severed his rela-
tions Avith N. W. Lvmibcr Co., but the warm feelino
of esteem and respect which he had won for himseli
during these extended business relations, continued
to the end of his life. He took an active part in the
various civil, social and religious movements of the
day, and was always ready and willing to assist in all
enterprises of public interest, and held continuously
positions of responsibility and honor. Soon after hi&
removal to Chillicothe, in 1869, he was elected super-
intendent of the Sunday School of the Presbyterian
church of that city, which position he held until hi^-
removal to Hannibal in 1880. He was converted and
united vdth the Third Presbyterian Church of Chicago
during the time of his residence there. In 1871 or 72
he was elected elder of the First Presbyterian Church
of Chillicothe. He was secretary of the School Board
of that city, and through his influence, was ])uilt the
beautiful new school building, costing from ^45,000
to 8.50,000. In 1875 he was also member of the City
Couneil. During the last three years of his residence
in Chillicothe he was correspondent of the "Globe
Democrat," a Republican paper of St. Louis. During
the summer of 1890, after severing his connection
with the N. W. L. Co., he, with A. Fiero, was
appointed, by the Lumber Manufacturers of the N.
W., to insi)ect the system of grading employed by
the leading manufacturers of the northwest, and their
report was received with much favor and satisfaction.
After the completion of this commission, he became
connected with the T. B. Scott Lumber Co., of Mer-
rill, Wis., and during a business trip through Illinois
and Indiana he was taken sick with a severe bilious
attack, and after nearly a week of sutfering in hotels,
in Terre Haute, Ind., Chicago, 111., and on the road,
he reached his home in Minneapolis, iVIinn., on the
22d of Sept. The disease assumed a complicated
form which resulted in blood poisoning, and after
three weeks more of intense siift'ering, which he l^ore
with patience, he died on the 15th of October, 1890,
aged 48 y., 6 m. and 2 d. Presbyterians. Children:

IV. Rachel Fretz, born in Hilltown Twp., Bucks
Co., Pa., Jan. 1, 1814; died Dec. 11, 1858. At an
early age she lost her mother, and the only remem-
brances she had of her fond parent were the recollec-
tions of early childhood. It is related that on the
day of her mother's funeral, she stood beside her
casket, calling her mamma to listen to her child-like
questions. She received such educational advantages
as the public schools, of that early period, afforded.
She read both German and English well, and in later
years, the reading of German Poetry afforded her
especial pleasure. She was a constant reader of the
Bible, and delighted to call the attention of her own
family to the beauty of its precepts. She was mar-
ried to Henry S. Krout. of Bedminster, ^Qv, 2, 1835,

— 217 —

He was born Apr. 10, 1810; died May 30, 1888. They
lived near Line Lexington for eight years. Then
moved to the homestead of the Kront family, on the
Deep Run, where six more years of their busy lives
were spent in tilling the soil that had been cultivated
for more then a century by the paternal ancestral
line. AVhile residing here they determined to own a
home of their own, and purchased and occupied the
Kramer farm, on the east branch of Perkiomen Creek.
While living here the family ties were broken. The
mother having contracted consumption, was called to
precede the rest of the family circle and join the
great majority in the eternal world l^eyond the shad-
owy vale. She was a truly pious mother, and her
chief care was to bring up her children in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord. Above all she loved
her family, her church, her Savior, and her God. They
were members of the Mennonite Church at Deep
Run. Children: Jacob, Martin, Abraham, John.

V. Jacob F. Krout, born in Bucks Co., Pa., Oct. 29,
1836. He always lived under the parental roof, and
after the decease of his father, came into possession
of the homestead, in Bedminster, where he is the
proprietor of the farm and the Bedminster Nursery
of Fruit and Ornamental Trees. By industry and
frugality he has acquired much success as a farmer
and nurseryman. He is unmarried aijd a member of
the Mennonite church at Deep Run.

V. Martin F. Krout, born in Bucks Co., Pa., Nov.
3, 1838; died Apr. 20, 1876. He lived with his pa-
rents and worked on the farm until he was twenty-
one years of age. He then took a position in a mer-
cantile house in Philadelphia, where during his four
years of service, he became thoroughh^ conversant
with the business and enjoyed the confidence of all.
In 1862 he went to River Styx, Ohio, and engaged in
Tanning, in which business he continued for a time.
He then purchased a farm near that town, and settled
upon it, where he remained until his death. He mar-
ried Rebecca, daughter of Dr. Wm. Andrews, of
River Styx, Ohio, Oct, 2, 1864, Children; James

V. Abraham F. K. Krout, born in Bucks Co., Pa.,
Feb. 2, 181:3. He lived at home until he was nine-
teen years of age. He then entered the North Wales
Institute to obtain a more thorough education than
the public schools afforded. Here he remained about
a year. In the Fall of 1862 he commenced teaching,
and until 1868 taught successively in the Deep Run,
Rocky Ridge, Algards, Sellersville and Plumstead-
ville Schools. In 1868 he took charge of the West
Bethlehem Schools. Lehigh Co., and in 1869 accepted
the Principalship of Coplay schools, in the same Co.
Here he remained from Sept. '69 to June *83, when
he asked to be relieved to become the accountant and
cashier for Coplav, Iron Co. This position he held
from July *83 to 'Oct. '88. In the Fall of 1889 he
took charge of the Borough Schools of Emlenton,
Venango Co., P., where, as Principal, he reorganized
the school system, and introduced a number of im-
portant changes for the improvement of the Public
schools in that numicipality. Having been offered still
better inducements l)y the Board of Education of the
Lehighton Borough Schools, he will in the future
have the Principalship and supervision of the schools
of that growing town on the Lehigh. Through all
these years of teaching there is one idea that has
n(n-(M- hvvu lost sight of, namely, that of self-im-
provement. The schooling at the academy was only
the beginning of a life of study. In 1876 he appeared
before" the State Board of Examin(»rs, passed the
examination an I was granted a Normal Certificate as
Teacher of Didactics." He found nnich pleasure in
pursuing a course of general studies in science and
language, and in 1877 Franklin and Marshall College
recognized his industry as a student and conferred on
him" the Honorary Degree of A.M. He has been a
mem])er of the Pennsylvania State Teachers' Asst'n
since 1877, and an active member of the Touvey Bo-
tanical Clul) of Columbia College, New York City,
since Oct. 1^81. Having the confidence of the peo-
ple at his ppvmanent home in Coplay, he was fvf»

— 219 —

quently called upon to fill positions of honor and
responsibility. He was the first commissioned Justice
of the Peace for this Borough, and has continuously
held this office from 1869 to 1890. He was Secretary-
of the Town Council for thirteen years, and a school
Director while serving the Copla}' Iron Co. The
Judges of the Courts frequently appointed him to
serve on road juries and commissions and there are
few townships in Lehigh Co., in which he has not
been called to execute these appointments. Being a
member of the Ref. ch. he took an active^ interest in
the founding of Trinity Congregation, at Coplay, in
1872. He served as deacon and was for many years
the Sec'y of the Consistory. He was the Superin-
tendent of the Sabbath Schools of this congregation
for eiohteen vears. He married Marv C. Mover, of
Skipp^ick, Mont^omerv Co., Pa.. Oct.^1, 1868." Chil-

V. Jacob Freeman Hendricks, A. M., born May 15,
1854. He was the youngest and is now the only sur-
viving child. He was given the patriarchal name of
Jacob, being named after his paternal grandfather.
When the boy became of school age, he was sent to
the public school of the vicinity. In 1862, through
the visitation of death, of seven children but two, the
oldest and youngest, were left. A few months later,
marriage having claimed the oldest, led her forth
from beneath the parental roof, leaving the subject
of the sketch the only child at the family fireside. In
'65 his father sold the farm on which he had lived for
many years, and on which he had reared his children
and bought a property near the village of Line Lex-
ington, in Hilltown township, and moved thereon.
Here the boy resumed his attendance at public
school, assisting his father when school was not in
session in the work on the farm and in the chores
about the place. Between '65 and '70, he induced his
father to send him for several short terms to the Line
Lexington Seminary, then a select school for boys
and girls, instead of the public school. In the spring
of '70, thirsting for wider educational advantages, he

— 234 —

inducod his father to send him to the Excelsior Nor-
mal Institute at Carversville, then under the Princi-
palship of Rev. F. R. S. Hunsicker, D. D. After a
twelve weeks attendance at this school, he entered
the profession of teaching, takino^ charge of a school
in Hilltown Twp., and continued to teach in that
township for four successive terms. In the spring of
'71 he entered the Millersville State Normal School
and remained there twelve weeks. In the spring of
'Ti he returned to that school and took a short term.
In the fall of that year he was examined by the
County Superintendent of Lehigh County, and
granted a provisional certificate, having one in every
branch. He was thereupon elected principal of the
Schools of Rittersville, in that county. After teach-
ing there several months- he was granted a profes-
sional certificate. In the spring of '75 he returned to
Millersville to finish his course, graduating Avith
honors in the class of '76, and the degree of Bachelor
of the Elements. In the fall of 76 he took charge
of a school at Breinigsville, Lehigh County. During
this term he gained prominence among the teach-
ers of the county. At the County Teacher's Institute
of that year, he was made Secretar}- of the Institute,
appointed to open the discussion on one of the topics,
chosen delegate to the State Teacher's Association
and selected as one of the evening lecturers. In the
fall of '77 he took charge of a school in East Donegal
ToAvnship, Lancaster Countv. During this term he
gave some attention to public lecturing, appearing,
among other audiences, before the Page Literary
Society of Millersville. At the commencement of
'79 he received from his Alma ]\Iater the degree of
Master of the Elements. In the fall of '78 he was
elected teacher of the Intermediate Department of the
Doylestown Borough Public Schools, and before the
close of the term was made Principal and Borough
Superintendent. In the summer of '79, after win-
ning golden testimonials as a teacher, he left the
school room and turned his face in the direction of
the legal profession. He entered the office of Alfred
Fackenthall, Esq., and was duly registered as a

- 235 —

student at law. In '81 he was admitted to the Bucks
Count}' Bar, and at once began the practice of law at
the County Capitol. For reasons he has never yet
made known he now adopted as a middle name, the
name Freeman^ writing his name J. Freeman Hen-
dricks. In the spring of '85, Doylestown Borough
elected him Justice of the Peace by an overwhelming
majority, when his party was hopelessly in the
minority. The same year he was admitted to the
Bryant Literary Union of New York, and again he
entered the lecture field. Since then he has appeared
before County Teacher's Institutes and other dis-
tinguished audiences, and won the strongest testi-
monials. At the commencement of '86 Ursinus Col-
lege conferred on him the honorary degree of Master
of Arts. He is a Republican in politics, and a Presbyte-
rian in religion. He still resides in Doylestown,
figuring as a lawyer. Justice and lecturer.

followed the vocation of farmer. He owned and lived
on the farm in Tinicum Twp., now owned and occu-
pied by Henry F. ]M3'ers. He also for a time had
teams on the road freighting goods from Philadelphia
to Easton. Bethlehem, and Xazareth, with an occa-
sional visit to Pittsburg and other points west. Dur-
ing his absence from home Mar. 4, 1801:, his barn
was struck by lightnins: and burned. On this occasion
his wife Veronica, displayed heroic energy, in rescu-
ing horses and cattle from the burning building, and
undoubtedh' would have perished herself in the
flames, had she not at last been held back by the
neighbors. In spite of all efforts to rescue the cattle
from the flames, one horse and fourteen (some say 21)
head of cattle perished. In 1815, Isaac built what is
now known as the Fretz Valley Mill, on the Tohickon
Creek, and in addition to farming operated the mill.
During his busy life he succeeded to competency, and
accumulated nearly 300 acres of land. He and ^^ives
were members of the Mennonite church. He, how-
ever, respected all denominations, and would never
(without reproof) allow any one in his presence to
speak lightly of any church, or church ordinance.

the "Santa Fe Expedition," under Gen. Hugh M'Leod.
After undergoing many hardships, the expedition
reached their destination in Sept., with the commis-
sioners who were to treat with the Mexicans. They
were received ^ith every appearance of friendship.
A bountiful meal provided, and while they were en-
joying it the}' were disarmed by the treacherous Mex-
icans, taken prisoners, and marched barefooted, with
bleeding feet that stained the stones and snow, at
every step, and were driven into sheep cotes, with
one blanket for bed and covering. When on the
march the}- were required to keep up with the
mounted officers, or be cut down by their captors.
Mr. Denyer, in helping one of his comrades, who was
near fainting from fatigue and weakness, to some wa-
ter, got a little behind and received a cut from a
sword in his side, the scar of which he carried to the

time of his death he was preparing himself for the

wife, died in 1867. The following is a a poem com-
posed and dedicated to the memory of ^^ Mother,"
beloved wife of Samuel J. Den3'er, by their youngest
child, Mrs. Ida E. S. Green.

Mother! ah, how oft that name

Our loving hearts have thrilled,
It soothes to rest in hours of pain,

Though death her pulse has stilled

In life we were her constant care;

And often while we slept,
She o'er us bent in silent[prayer,

While Indians through our barley crept.

They had her loved companion slain,

Disguised in'white-men's'clothes.
Whom he mistook for neighboring friends,

Till they had strung' their bows.

And then upon that April morn,

When death his frame had chilled,
She stood beside that lifeless form,

Her heart with anguish filled.

And when we laid him in the tomb.

And sadly turned awaj-,
Our'mother knew that she alone,

Must guard us night and day.

Nor did she through those years of grief

E'er murmur or repine,
But sought in prayer that sweet relief

Whicii true believers find.

And when consumption seized her child,

The first that God had given.
She closed in death those eyes so mild.

And said, *' We'll meet in heaven."

One year elapsed, then mother left,

To join the host above,
And four small children were bereft

Of either parents' love.

— 329 —

And now those loved ones round the throne

Are beckoning us awav;
Dear brothers, sisters, kindred ones,

Let us the call obey.

Yes! let us follow in the path

This noble woman trod;
Perform oui duty here on earth,
But lean upou our God.

BARBARA FRETZ, DAUGHTER OF
WEAVER JOHN.

II. Barbara Fretz, youngest child of '^ Weaver"
John, and Maria Fretz, born — ; died — . Nothing is

CHRISTIAN FRETZ,
BROTHER OF WEAVER JOHN.

(TinJcum Branch.)

I. Christian Fretz (brother of "Weaver" John),
settled in Tinicum Twp. , Bucks Co. , Pa. , along the
Tinicum creek, at the place now known as Heaney's
Mill. The house stood on the opposite side of the
road, a short distance from the present one. The
farm originally contained about 140 acres, and is
now divided into three tracts. The present house is
of stone, was built by his son Christian, and is now
over one hundred years old. The homestead with
about 40 acres of the original tract, is owned and
occupied by Joseph M. Hockman. Sixty-five acres
are owned by Henry S. Wolfinger, and 25 acres by
— Johnson. It is probable that some of his children
scattered early, were lost sight of and forgotten, so
that nothing definite is known of but three or four
of them, although there are slight evidences of others.
So far, in our investigations, we have not learned that
he had any daughters. His children that are known
were: Abraham, Mark, Christian Daniel. Those who
probably were or are supposed to have been his chil-
dren, are: John, Jacob, Henry.

DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM FRETZ, SON
OF CHRISTIAN FRETZ OF TINICUM.

II. Abraham Fretz (son of Christian Fretz, of Tini-
cum). The date of his birth is not known, but he was
born as early as 1745, or before that date. When he
died is not known. He was married to Dorothea
Kulp* — . In 1775 he purchased a farm in Bedminster
Twp., consisting of 221 acres, of Alexander Brown,
who purchased it from Richard and Thomas Penn
(Governors and Esqs.), in 1758. The farm is now di-
vided into four farms, owned and occupied as follows:
Jacob F. Hockman, on the north; Levi Hockman on
the north-east; and Anthony R. Fretz and Quincy A.
Fretz on the south-west. It is quite probable that
Abraham Fretz and his wife were among the early
worshipers of the Mennonite church at Deep Run,
and buried there. Their children were: Judith, Eliza-
beth, Henry, Joseph, Esther, Anna, Barbara.

III. Judith Fretz, born Oct. 2, 1767; died Nov. 7,
1817. Mrd. John Meyer (his second mfe) July 3,
1788. He died July 10, 1814. They lived on a farm
on the Durham road, S. E. of Pipersville. They were
members of the Mennonite ch. Children: Abraham,
John, Christian, Joseph, Jacob, Christian, William,
Dorothea, Samuel, Isaac.

* It is rather remarkable that the three brothers, Abraham,
Mark and Chiistian Fretz, married three sisters, viz: Dorothea,
Gertrude, and Judith Kulp; and a cousin, John Fretz of the
Bedminster Branch, who emigrated to Canada, married Mary
Kulp, also a sister of the above.

an industrious farmer, a devoted husband, a loving
father, a worthy citizen, and an exemplary neighbor
and christian. He never united with any churcht He
occupied a farm of 80 acres in Richland Twp., De-
Kalb Co. , Ind. , which he earned and improved by un-
remitting toiL His was a life of privations, such as
the present generation can have no conception of.
He was buried in the church yard at Green's corners,
the place where he used to worship. He was the
father of five children: Benjamin, John, Nancy,
George, Henry.

VI. Benjamin Franklin Fretz, born June 22, 1854.
in DeKalb Co., Ind.. where he spent his childhood.
The death of his father left him, then but little more
than seven years of age, the oldcLt of a family of five
children. It was in his early boyhood that he wit-
nessed some of the privations and hardships incident
to life among the heav}' forests of Indiana. Frank
with his widowed mother, assumed the task of caring
for themselves and family, in all a group of five chil-

— 457 —

dren, ranging in age from eight years to five months.
The mother bowed down with grief at the untimely
loss of her husband and the Aveight of the great re-
sponsibility thus thrown upon her, was for a number
of 3^ears almost an invalid. Through the direction of
a kind Providence and an indomitable energy, born
of that courage which comes only of an unflinching
faith in God, she with the help of her older children,
succeeded in stemming the tide of poverty and want
which at times threatened her. It was during these
trying ordeals that Frank received many of the les-
sons of life, usually learned by others at a more ad-
vanced age, and only learned b}^ experience. These,
together with the kind advice and maternal admoni-
tion of his- mother, were the germs from which grew
the future hopes and aspirations of the young man.
He attended the Public School until the age of six-
teen when he was obliged to quit. During the whole
period of his school life much of his time was diverted
to attend to the wants of the family. He entered a
normal class in 1871 under the instruction of Prof.
Wm. H. Mcintosh, was licensed to teach the com-
mon branches, and taught in his county during the
winter of 1871 and 72, dividing his meagre salary
with his mother. He entered the Oberlin school of
Telegraphy in the fall of 1873, taking a complete
course in that art, and soon after secured a position
in a Railway Telegraph OflSce at Kendallville, Ind.
He returned to the. prof esson of teaching in 1875,
devoting his time alternately to his profession and
various other pursuits. In the spring of 1878, he de-
termined to visit the Great West. At Independence,
Kans., he passed the summer on a farm, as a com-
mon laborer, and the following winter again entered
the school room. In 1880 he began the stud}^ of law,
under the tutorship of the Hon. Daniel Grass, of In-
dependence, Kan., but a year later accepted the ofler
of Ben. S. Henderson Atty. at Law, to finish his law
studies and prepare for a copartnership with him in
the practice. Here his associations and relations
were pleasant and profitable. He acquired a taste
for his profession, but circumstances conspired to

— 458 —

chanfre his course and he was induced to accept a
position as teacher in the employ of the Department
of the Interior, at Osaofe Aofency, I. T. , where he re-
mained for nearly two years amonc: the natives of
the |)lains. Here in the smiimer of 1882 he was mar-
ried to Miss Linna Crooks, of Waterloo, Ind., a for-
mer associate and fellow teacher. The marriage was
consummated Aug. 20, 1882, and the two at once set
out for the husband's field of labor among the red
men of Indian Ter. Both engaged as teachers of the
Indian children of that post. During the following
winter Small-Pox scattered the inmates of the school
and on the 26th day of Feb., 1883, the doors were
closed and all employees sent to the states. Embark-
inof again for Independence, Kan., he accepted the
offer of the Clerk of the County, as deputy, and later
that of Clerk of the Court. Here he remained a
short time and then removed to Waterloo, Ind., and
accepted a position with the L. S. & M. S. Ry. Co.
In 1887 he removed to Rochester, Fulton Co., Ind.,
where he was at once admitted to the practice of law.
Here he has formed the surroundings which will
probably attach him permanently to the place and
profession above named. He has frequently occupied
positions of trust and honor in the society to which
he belongs, and in the lousiness of the county in
which his interests are centered. In matters pertain-
ing to religion he was always a doubter or skeptic;
not careless, but incredulous. The virtues taught
him by his mother were never forgotten, though
often ignored. His researches led him to the philoso-
phy of Spencer, Huxley, Tyndal, Hume, Voltaire,
Payne and Ingersol, but each failmg to satisfy the
wants of man's spiritual nature, the beautiful phi-
losophy of Jesus Christ has been adopted. In 1888
he renounced his allegiance to the Prince of Darkness
and has since sought to lead the life of an exemplary
christian. Husband and wife are members of the
Christian Church, at Rochester, Ind., and were bap-
tized Dec. 20, 1888. Children: (VII.) Ralph Fretz,
and (VII.) Ray Fretz (Twins), born Auir. 27, 1883.
(VII.) Edna E." Fretz, born Sept. 17, 1889^

VI. John Calvin Fretz, born in DeKall) Co., Ind.,
July 10, 1856. He was named John Calvin because
he chanced to be born on the same day of the year as
the great theologian of that name. His early life was
that of an ordinary farmer boy. At about the usual
age he began attending school. He was compelled to
leave the summer school at the age of twelve. How-
ever he attended the district school for about three
months each winter until he was sixteen years old.
He then took a short normal course, and was licensed
to teach the common branches. At seventeen he be-
gan teaching, and for six consecutive winters fol-
lowed that profession. In the Fall of 1875, while
attending a normal course ^'n Waterloo, Ind., he be-
came acquainted with Ettie Philips, daughter of C.
M. Philips, Att'v. at Law, of Waterloo, whom he
mrd. Oct. 29, 1876. In 1878 he finally decided the
great question, "What shall be my life work?"
which had agitated his mind for years, by determin-
ing on the science of Medicine as a permanent pro-
fession. He at once began, and for a year studied
medicine in connection with farm and school work.
In the spring of 1879 he removed to Auburn,
where he entered the ofiice of Jared Spooner, M. D.,
and set to work with a firm determination to succeed.
In the Autumn of the same year, he entered the
Medical Department of the University of Mich., at
Ann Arbor. This was a year of great mental growth
for him, and well did he avail himself of all the ad-
vantages with which he was surrounded. The careful
and thorough instruction imparted by this institution
formed a broad base for a thorough medical educa-
tion. After an absence of nine months from home
and family, Calvin returned and settled at Deedsville,
Ind. , where he at once began the practice of medicine.
For five years he continued his practice, and then
once more returned to the University where he com-
pleted his course and graduated in 1886. For a short
time he located at Garrett, Ind., but the same year
he returned with his family to Deedsville. Since that
time he has enjoyed a growing reputation, earned by
hard and honest work. In 1888 he joined the medi-

— 460 —

cal society of his county, and in 1889 was chosen its
President, a position occupied by him at present
writing. In the spring of 1872, when in his six-
teenth year, Calvin became a Christian, united with
the U. B. and was baptized. He has earnestly
labored for the salvation of souls, has occupied all
the offices in the gift of the church society and Sun-
day School, and enjoys the labor in ''The Master's
Vineyard." Not only has his wife greatly assisted
him in the battles of life, but he still has a mother
who has done all that a mother could, to encourage
him in the acquisition of knowledge. It was by her
that this truth was fixed in his mind "Much is possi-
ble to him who tries." Children: (VII.) Mao:gie Fretz,
born Feb. 25, 1879. (VII.) Granville P. Fretz, born

VI. Lewis Barney Fretz, born in Greene Co., Ind.,
Mar. 4, 1868. His parents lived for a number of 3'ears
after his birth in Greene Co., from which localit}' they
moved to Taylor Co.. K3\, remaininof there about
ciirhteen months, after which his home was located in
DeKalb Co., Ind. In early life he worked ui)on the
farm and attended the District school. In Sept. 1883,
his parents established a home in the town of Auburn,
the County-Seat of DeKall) Co., where for several
years he attended the Graded School, and graduated
from the Grammar Department in 1887. In 1885 he
entered the i)aintinir department of the Snyder
Wairon Works, as an ai)prentice, under the tutehifre
of J. C. Day. and mastered the trade in 1887. Find-
iuL^ that |)aintin<r was detrimental to his health, he
ahandoned it, and in Nov. 1888 entered as apprentice
the Publishintj House of the Auburn Courier. The

— 463 —

advantages of this position have been the crowning
benefit of his life. He has gradually risen from the
lowest to one of the advanced positions of the estab-
lishment^ that of a ''Local Reporter.'' In addition to
being a first class Typo, he is an Orator of superior
talent, possessing a powerful voice, good articulation,
and an easy command of language, his audiences are
held in rapt attention, while they are interested by an
eloquence that is natural and irresistible. Mr. Fretz,
was converted in February, 18^0, since which
time he has occupied the pulpit alternately with
the resident pastor of the Church of God. The minis-
try is his probable future vocation. Being a moral
and temperate man, and possessing good natural
abilities the height of his aspiration is unlimited.

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN FRETZ,
SON OF .

il. John Frctz, born Feb. 8, 174-t»; died Aun^. ;30,
1815. Mrd. Magdalona Fox, of Pa. She was born
Apr. 1, 1748; died Sept, 23, 1820. He was a whind-
wriofht, joiner and manufacturer of Fannintj Mills,
and a member of the Dnnkard ehureh. His ancestry
is involved in d()u])t. By some of the connection he
is supi)ose(l to iiave emiL^rated from Germany*. He
settled near Manheim. Lancaster Co.. Pa., where
proba)>ly all his children were born. In isoo he emi-
irrated to Welland Co., Canachi, with all his familv

* It is said by one of the descendants tliat John Tretz came
from New Jersey, or from near the *line," (State line). Con-
sidering the fact that "Tinicum Cliristian Fretz " lived only a
few miles from the Delaware river, or State line, on the Pennsvl-
vania side, however, it may be that he was the son of Tinicum
Christian Fret/. In early life, yohn Fret/may, for a time, have
lived on the Jersey side, and afterwards settled in Lancaster
Co., Pa. There is a tradition in this family that three brothers
fled from German}*, because of religious persecution; but it is
not known what became of two of them. John Fretz of Lan-
caster Co., could not have been one of these brothers, as the
persecution took place many years before he was born; but his
father, it is (juite probable, may have ))een one of the brothers.
On the other hand the tradition of the Bucks Co , Fretz' ancestors
is that three brothers fled from Germany because of religious
persecutions, and that one of them died on the voyage; the other
two. Christian and John, landed and settled in Bucks Co., Pa. The
same year that John Fret/ of Lancaster Co., settled m Welland
Co., Canada, John Fret/ of Haycock Twp., Bucks Co., Pa. (son
of Weaver John P'retz), settled in Lincoln Co., Canada. It is
said that Jacob Fretz, son of Lancaster John, visited them, but
they could establish no mutual relationship.

except his daughter Barbara, and sou Daniel. They
were six weeks in makinof the journe}^ to Canada,
taking their live stock with them. At night bells
were put on the horses and cattle, and they were
turned out to pasture. After a milking the milk was
put into the churn, which was fastened to the hinder
part of the wagon, and their butter was churned by
the motion of the wagon as they proceeded. On the
twelfth day of June the}' crossed the Niagara river
on a raft. The}- swam the horses and cattle across.
They were assisted in crossing by friendly Indians.
John Fretz settled in the township of Bertie, AVelland
Co., Ont., on lots "2 and 3, concessions 15 and 16,
which consisted of about KX) acres, on which he built
a log house. Some time previous to his death he laid
out on his property a family burying ground, in which
he and his wife were buried, and it is still used by his
descen(h\nts as a place of l)urial. Among the relics
retained of the home of eTohn Fretz, a cupboard, made
by him in 18nl, is in the possession of his great-
grandson, Jacob Fretz, of Fenwick, Ont., who also
has an iron maul, an axe, a taper bit, and the old
family Bible, i)ublished at Ziu'ich, Switzerland, in
153*,*, and brought from Germany by the ancestor.
The children of John Fretz were: Barbara, Abraham,

to Canada, riding a bay horse of his own. It was not
his intention to remain in Canada, but only to ac-
company his parent there, see the place, and return
to Pennsylvanian. But while assisting in l)uilding a
log house for his parents, he had the misfortune to
break his leg, while felling a tree; and which not
having been properly set, made him a cripple. After
he was able to be about again, while assisting at some
work he cut his other leg, and became lame in that
also. Thus doubly crippled, he concluded to remain
in Canada. During the war of 1812, he and his team
were pressed into the arm\- to move stores and ammu-
nition. He also took quite an active part in politics.

DESCENDANTS OF JACOB FRETZ, SON OF
CHRISTIAN FRETZ OF TINICUM.

II. Jacolj Fretz, born — ; died — ; mrd. — . He lived
in Tinicum Twp., Bucks Co., and was buried in the
vicinity of Coopersburg. His ancestry was for some
time in doubt, and was supposed himself to have
emigrated from Switzerland. But as he lived in Tini-
cum township, Bucks Co., the home of the ancestor.
Christian Fretz, there is now not the least shadow of
a doubt in the minds of the author and others that he
was the son of ''Tinicum Christian Fretz." There is
an old family Bible, brought from Germany, now in
the possession of his grandson, David Fretz's family,
which was published at Basle, in 1720. It is bound in
old style Boards and Leather, but unfortunately, it
having gone through three fires and two freshets, all
signs or semblance whereby the least letter could be
made intelligible is obliterated. Otherwise it is in
good condition. Jacob Fretz was a member of the
Mennonite church. He had only one child, a son:
Jacob.

IV. David Fretz, born in Bucks Co., Pa., Oct. 24,
1825; died Nov. 26, 1883. Mrd. Susie, daughter of
John P. Beil, Jan. 1, 1852. — David Fretz was one of
the best known citizens of the Western end of the
county in which he lived and died. His father came
from Bucks Co., when David was yet a small boy,
and settled in Allen Twp., Northampton Co., where
the family has since resided. David's first employ-
ment from home was on the farm of the deceased
John P. Beil, whose daughter he afterwards married,
and who w ith their five children survive to mourn the
demise of the respected husband and father. When
not yet of age he entered the Mercantile establish-
ment of Joseph and Samuel Laubach, and with the
exception of a very short time spent at Fullerton, as
Superintendent of the Rolling Mill at that place, and
the last five years of his life spent with no regular
occupation, he passed his lifetime connected with the
firm above mentioned; and no fact can be mentioned,
or words said that will convey more forcibly the in-
tegrity of character and devotion to the interests of
others that characterized him, than the fact that he
spent almost forty years with the same people. Mr.
Fretz served as School director two terms, and be it
said to his honor, his ideas were far ])eyond the pre-
vailing sentiment of his time, and it was always a
regret with him that he could not advance educational
matters with the rapidit}' that he wished. The schools
of his township owe very much to his efforts. For
sixteen years he was president of the Hokendauqua
Bridge Company, serving in that capacity at the time
of his death, and was a director of the company
almost from its foundation. He was* a member of the
Reformed ch. at Howertown, of which he was also an
Elder. His activity in religious, political, and busi-
n(»ss matters made him known to a large circle of
friends, and his unostentatious wa^^s, and many kind
acts during his life caused pangs of regret to very

many on the occasion of his death. Such men when
they die are a public loss. Children: Alvin, William,

THE FIRST FRETZ' FAMILY REUNION.

By C. D. Fretz, M. D.

The first reunion of the Fretz' family was held in
the trrove adjoining the old Fretz' homestead, near
Bedminsterville, Pa., Sept. 15, 1888. The weather
was all that could have been desired, and the descend-
ants of those two pioneers, John and Christian Fretz,
who are so numerous in this vicinity, came in large
numbers. Nearly all of the eastern counties of Penn-
sylvania were represented, as well as the states of
Ohio, Kansas, New Jersey, and the District of Co-
lumbia. Old and young came to see their relatives,
who were gathered here from all quarters, to learn
something about their worthy ancestors who were
sleeping in the quiet churchyard, at the Deep Run
Mennonite meeting-house, before the fires of the
Revolutionary w^ar were kindled, and who had built
their log huts in the wilderness years before George
Washington was born. More that five hundred of
their descendants, registered their names, and maay
were there who did not register. The number present
was estimated at from eiofht hundred to one thousand.
The oldest descendant present was, Mrs. Susan :a
Funk, of Line Lexington, being 86 years old. She is
the mother of Rev. John F. Funk, editor of the
Jlerald of Tntth, and Abraham K. Funk, SecV of

35

— 546 —

the Mennonite Publishing Co., of Elkhart, Ind., and
(laufrhter of Martin Fretz, deceased, of Hilltown.
Philip K. Fretz, of Bedminster; Henr}' Frctz, of
Pliimstead; Mrs. Klizabeth Fretz Farrren, of Doyles-
town; and John Henry Garges, of Washington,
D. C, were among the oldest. The ministers of the
Gospel were Rev. Alkii M. Fretz, of Bedminster;
Kev. Abraham J. Fretz. of Milton. N. J.; and Rev.
Enos Loiix, of Dublin.

The medical profession was represented by Dr.
Harvey Kratz. of New Britain; Dr. A. F. Myers, of
Blooming Glen; Dr. (). H. Fretz. of Quakertown;
Dr. A. N. Fretz, of Fleet woo 1, Berks Co.; Dr. C. D.
Fretz, of Sellersvillc: and Dr. John H. Fretz, of
Hagersville.

Tlic only representative of the legal profession
was J. Freeman Hendricks, Esij., of Doylestown.

County Superintendent W. H. Slotter, of Doyles-
town represented the educational interests.

The mass was made up of the sturdy yeoman,
who for a century and a half has given character to
the family by their integrity and moral worth. The
female portion of the family was worthily represented
by the wives, sisters and mothers, and none labored
more zealously than they to make the reunion a
success. The latest generation was there too, and the
shouts and merrymaking of the children made a
cheei-ful accompaniment to the niore staid gathering
around the speaker's stand.

The conmiittee of arrangements had made ample
preparations. A table one hundred and eighty feet
long had been constructed, upon which the ladies of
the committee were engaged during the forenoon in
transferring the contents of many well filled baskets
and l)()xes. When the dinner hour arrived and a gen-

— 547 —

eral invitation to all was extended by the chairman,
the audience as generously responded, and not until
the table had been filled and cleared three times were
all the hungry satisfied. A speaker's stand had been
erected upon a convenient spot, in front of which
were placL^d benches and chairs for the audience. On
one side was placed an organ, presided over by Miss
Ida Mover. The musical part of the programme was
very properly left in the hands of Dr. A. F. Myers.
The exercises of the forenoon were opened by singing
the Coronation hymn from printed slips previously
distributed through the audience. This was followed
by a fervent pra3'er by Rev. A. J. Fretz. Rev. Allen
M. Fretz, then delivered the address of welcome,
after which the Secretary, Dr. C. D. Fretz, read a
letter from Harrison H. Fretz. of Springfield, Mis-
souri, regretting his absence and hoping to be able to
meet them at a future reunion.

J. Freeman Hendricks, Esq., of Doylestown,
addressed the audience very felicitously for some
time, when the exercises of the forenoon were closed
by singing that patriotic h}nm, ''America.*'

The time between the exercises was taken up in
social converse, and in registering the names of the
descendants present, which are to be preserved for
future reference. Dr. John H. Fretz, who had been
appointed as Registor, was kept busih* engaged dur-
ing the interval.

The afternoon exercises commenced at 2 o'clock
by singing the hymn, '"Come, Thou Fount of every
Blessing." Rev. A. J. Fretz then delivered the His-
torical address, which was listened to with profound
interest. He graphically depicted the surroundings
when the two brothers, John and Christian Fretz,
xlriven forth from their fatherland by cruel persecu-

— 548 —

tions, sought refuge in this far off land, this wilder-
ness, inhabited by wild beasts, and the equally dan-
gerous Red Man. The genealogy of the different
branches of the family were briefly reviewed, and
other interesting facts and dates given. Dr. A. N.
Fretz, of Fleetwood, who had just arrived, and who
was a complete stranger in this section of the state,
then gave a short talk, after which County Superin-
tendent, Wm. H. Slotter, delivered the memorial
address. After some announcements and the sins^ine:
of the hymn entitled, "There's a Land that is fairer
than day," the exercises were closed with the Bene-
diction and the Doxology, ''Praise God from whom
all blessings flow.''

ALLEN M. FKETZ, AT THE FilETZ' FAMILY
REUNION, SEPT. 15, 1888.

Dear Fi'lenda: — In a[)pearing before you this
morning to bid you welcome on this occasion, 1 feel
tiiat mine is a very pleasant duty indeed. It is a
pleasant duty, first, because 1 trust that all who have
gathered, and who have now assembled before me, as
well as all who may still be coming and will be here
later in the day, have come with a knowledge, and an
assurance of the fact that they are welcome. I do
therefore deem it unnecessary to enter into argu-
ments to prove that fact. Further it is a pleasant
duty for me to stand, unworthy as 1 may be for it,
between the fathers of almost two centuries ago
whose dusts now lie mingled with the earth in yonder
grave yard, and their numerous descendants, of
which 1 have the honor of being one, to bid you wel-
come to the first general reunion of the Fretz' Family.

— 549 -

Less than two centuries ago these teeming val-
leys, and verdant hills were mostly covered with
forests, and were, with this grove in which we have
assembled to-day, the home of the Red man. while
the wild beasts of the forests vied with him in finding
a sustenance. The remains of our ancestors lie side
by side, in soil not their own b}' birth, and we visit
their graves at times to call our memories back to
their daring lives, while the ashes of the Aborigines
have entered into the substance of the soil from
which we reap our beautiful harvests, and obtain our
sustenance. In the early years of the 18th Century
came emigrants from England, Scotland and Ger-
many, and took possession of the land in this
vicinity. It w^as then, that, among the many others,
two brothers, John and Christian Fretz, left their
homes and friends in the fatherland, and for weal or
woe, crossed the wide, perilous Atlantic, and came to
this new w^orld, the refuge for the oppressed and
persecuted of every civilized country.

In course of time Christian became possessor of a
tract of land in Tinicum Township, about three miles
from here, while John made his purchase and future
home on a tract in Bedrainster Twp., of which the
soil on which we meet to-day is a part, and which has
since been continuously in the possession of his male
descendants to this day. In these homes the Lord
prospered them till now their descendants are no
longer confined to the townships of Bedminster and
Tinicum, but have increased and multiplied, and
spread abroad, until now they may be found in al-
most every State and Terntory through the length
and breadth of this fair land, and in various parts of
Canada as well.

— 550 —

This is an age of reunions, Alunmi of Schools
and Colleges have reunions, the veterans of the late
war have reunions, families have reunions, and it is
well that the descendants of these two brothers
should have such a gathering also. During the brief
time alloted for preparation, there were sent out to
all Fretz' descendants whose names and address could
be ascertained, invitations to meet with us at this
reunion, to renew the memories of our ancestors, and
become better acquainted with each other as off-
spring of a common ancestry. I do therefore, in
momor}^ of our forefathers, bid you welcome to this
assembly. In behalf of the present proprietor of this
grove 1 bid you welcome. In the name of the com-
mittee of arrangements I bid 3"ou welcome. I bid
you welcome to the exercises that will l)e conducted
here to-day, and to the conunon tal)le that will l)e
spread for dinni^r.

Let us make this day a da}' of profit, as well as a day
of pleasure. While our memories are refreshed with
the daring and self-denial of our ancestors, let us also
take an example from their devotedness to the cause
for which they forsook their native land — religious
liberty, and cultivate true filial love and devotedness
to one another. Above all let us lift our hearts in
thankfulness to God, the giver of every good and
})erfect gift, for his blessings upon our ancestors,
upon our inunediate fathers and mothers, .and upon
us to the i)resent moment. Let us unitedly pray
that He may continue to l)e with us and bless us as
He has Ix'cn with our fathers and blest them.

Let us seek so to live in nis fear, and to Glor}'
in His great name, that in the great and final family
reunion, we may all be privileged to participate.
That we havinor heeded the loving invitation may be

— 551 —

reunited with our friends gone before, and with them
forever share the joys of a reunion inseparable.

\'ALEDICTION.

Dear Friends: — The time approaches when we
must take our leave of 3'ou. But ere we part, let us
review the past and seek to gain an idea of the
weighty responsibility resting upon us. Since the
day on which our worthy ancestors first set foot upon
these sylvan shores, more than a century and a half
has elapsed. To them and to us this epoch has been
one of incalculable blesssings, emanating from the
hand of the Almighty.

Here they felled the wooded wilderness, sub-
dued the land, and lived modest, unassuming lives
as humble tillers of the soil. Here they erected their
shrines and altars, and worshiped unmolested the
God of their fathers. Here prosperity smiled upon
them, and there was no fear in their hearts that the
next edict of Ro3^alty or the Church would condenm
them as heretics worthy of death or the galleys.

Here, under the bright sun of freedom, they in-
creased and were happ3\

Although, before they came, they were fully
aware of the difiiculties they must encounter and
overcome in clearing the forests, in contending with
w^ild beasts, and in iliollifj'ing the no less savage Red
man, yet the}' thought it better, far better, to leave
the Land of their Nativity, a land whose soil was
drenched with blood, and seek beyond the Western
Wave, a clime where the}- might worship God accord-
ing to the dictates of their own conscience, and live
in peace with their fellow men. Although they took
no active part in that arduous struggle for Independ-
ence, yet from the ver}' fact that they settled here,
we are indebted to them for our invaluable birth-
riirht. American Citizciishi]). Our dutv to their

— 559 —

memory is as ofreat as the duty we owe to the mem-
ory of those who directly hud the foundation of the
great social, moral, religious, and political platform
on which we securely rest. It is difficult for man\'
of us to adequately appreciate the value of the many
privileges we, as citizens of this ''Happiest of
Lands," enjo}'. But if we could, for a brief time,
visit the Old World and behold the condition of mil-
lions of Earth's down-trodden and oppressed, we
w^ould from our inmost hearts thank God for the com-
parative comfort, petice, and plenty, that we enjo3\

Let us then revere the memory of our progeni-
tors, not forgetting the trials they had, the persecu-
tions they suffered, and the difficulties they sur-
mounted in that age of bigotry and intolerance. Let
us cherish the precepts and obey the injunctions of
our Fathers.

Let us as elder brothers warn and counsel our
children against the vices and immoralities of the
age, and live ourselves strict moral lives, that we
convey to them no hereditary taints.

"The richest treasure mortal times afford.
Is spotless reputation."

We can leave to our children no nol)ler legacy
than an unblemished name. "'A good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches, and loWng favor
rather than silver and gold.'' Prov. 22— 1st. Its
praise will reverberate down the aisles of ages, and
like "Footprints in the sands of time," leave impres-
sions that posterity will emulate long after we have
been gathered to our fathers and are "Resolved to
earth again."

We the people of to-day are rearing a genera-
tion who, in their turn, must man the "Ship of
State." Hov\ depends in a great measure upon the

— 560 —

impressions they receive in childhood, the home in-
fluence, their traininir. the thoroughness and breadth
of their education, the pattern we set for them, and
their love of God. Our duties to our children are
onerous and manifold. We should shoulder the bur-
den in the spirit of paternal love rather than from
necessity.

As a wild plant under the care and training of the
skillful florist becomes year by year more and more
perfect until it brings forth rare and beautiful flowers
which are admired by all who l)ehold them, so we
should foster and train our children, that each suc-
ceeding generation ma}' become more enlightened,
more powerful for good, and more perfect in all that
constitutes true manhood.

In this enlightened age of progress shall we
cling to old and antiquated customs by hoarding the
"Ducats," and allowing the mental faculties of our
youth to become stunted and dwarfed, or shall we
endeavor to keep pace with the march of Intellect,
and assist them (when they need assistance most) by
giving them every educational and spiritual advant-
age within the limits of our possibility ?

It should be our aim and desire to father a race
of live, intelligent, enlightened men and women who
are capable of performing the duties and functions of
life, rather than a tribe of puny, sickly beings whose
mental growth is dwarfed and whose conception of
life, its duties, and its responsibilities, is vague and
uncertain. WTiicli it will be, our lives and deeds will
make known.

Trusting these thoughts may awaken an answer-
ing echo in many hearts, we say: Farewell; and God
be with you. A. B. Fretz.

V. Philip Fretz, born Apr. 7, 1828; died Feb. 3, 1829.
(Children of Samuel Fretz, Page 43).

(Foot note Page 292). Jacob Kolb, was the son of Isaac
Kolb, who was born in 171 1, and died July 23, 1776. Isaac lived
in Bucks Co. He was called "der Grosse Isaac, der sehr Starke
man." He was the son of Jacob Kolb, who emigrated from the
Palatinate in 1707, and settled in Germantown, Pa. In 1709 he
moved to Skippack, and died there.

The name is differently spelled, by some it is spelled Kolb,
by others Culp, but the majority spell it Kulp.

®he HISTORY of the FRETZ FAMILY is completed. The
traditions and personal history of our ancestors have
been preserved for future generations. The names of the de-
scendants, their births, marriages, and deaths have been
recorded and other interesting matter has been added that
will make it an heirloom— which should be in the hands of
every descendant of the family.

The author Rev. A. J. Fretz deserves great credit for
his unflagginof zeal, and patient effort for a period of over
three years, in gathering and compiling the enormous mass
of matter that is contained in the history.

It was at first thought that the price fixed for it would
be sufficient to remunerate him for the labor and expense of
publication — but the matter accumulated to such an extent
that it is twice the size originallv intended. The price to
subscribers was however left the same, although the cost of
its publication was greatly increased, and now it is found
that unless many more books are sold, the author will be
8150 short which he has expended on the work leaving
him nothing at all for his labor.

It is the object of this circular to make known these facts
so that all may assist in finding means for reimbursing
the author at least for the money expended.

\V(' make this appeal especiallv to those who haw not
yet taken the book.

Send for it at once and persuade others to do likewise.
Get at least one more subscriber for the History. It will be a
priceless treasure to your descendants in after-years.

Rev. Allen M. Fretz.
