PREFACE.
The study of Genealogy is both interesting, and of
great value. Its effects ought to be beneficial in maintain-
ing the honor and integrity of a family extending back
through a long line of progenitors whose memory should
be cherished with loyal devotion to endless day, and whose
virtues are worthy of emulation. It is commendable to be
familiar with one's own family history, and eminently
proper to put it on record in a convenient form for the
benefit of future generations.
Such records will be of incalculable value to genera-
tions yet unborn, and will be highly prized by them, and
upon the authors they will lavish lasting praise for having
preserved from oblivion the traditions and history of the
deeds and lives of the progenitors and their posterity.
These geneological trees will become heirlooms in the
family, and volumes will be sought for and placed in public
libraries. In the family, too, they will wield an influence,
as the lives of unselfish devotion to God, conscience, and
family, of the forefathers are recounted, to keep unsullied
and untarnished the family name.
The work has been prepared at a much greater sacrifice
of time than was anticipated. Had all promptly responded
to communications the work would have been far easier,
more complete, and less time and expense required. It is
to be regretted that the records are not more complete,
but, owing to the lack of interest in the work, some failed
to respond and furnish the information desired.
To Mr. Francis Beidler of Chicago, 111., belongs the
credit of being the prime mover in securing the compilation
of the Beidler History. Feeling a deep interest in the
history of his ancestors and the origin of the family, he
arranged for the collecting of the data and publication of
the same in book form.

INTRODUCTION.
The desire to trace the ancestry of the present genera-
tions, which have become so widely prevalent, for the past
few years, is most laudable. It is no small honor to have
had among the early settlers of this country those from
whom we can claim our lineage. They were of the forces
which gave character to the formative periods of our
national life. This sturdy stock, to a large degree, had
come through the adverse currents and storms of the
religious persecutions, which were rife on the continent
of Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Not only was it true of the early settlers of New England
that they fled from the harsh restrictions of an established
church in England, but also of many thousands who sought
relief from the oppressive domination of the state church
of Germany. The followers of Menno Simon found them-
selves out of harmony with the polity of the Lutheran
church, and sought for themselves a simpler and, as they
claimed, purer mode of worship and service than was
afforded by the great church of the Reformation.
Unhappily for them they were in enforced, though
unsought, opposition to the civil powers of the state which
endeavored to secure uniformity of worship throughout its
jurisdiction. To be other than Lutheran was to run counter
to the authorized forms of religion. To differ from the
legalized church resulted in fines, imprisonment and con-
fiscation. The recalcitrant heretics who presumed to be-
lieve otherwise than the prescribed orthodoxy of the state,
had but little mercy shown them. Thus Protestants were
repeating among themselves the hardships and sufferings
which they had sought to escape by separation from the
church of Rome.
VI INTRODUCTION.
Out from the midst of these turmoils many Mennonites
sought refuge in the new country, which afforded a safe
asylum to those who sought religious freedom. Emigration
from the German states was quite general early in the
eighteenth century. Many, following in the wake of Wil-
liam Penn, sought homes for themselves in the unbroken
wilderness of Pennsylvania.
Jacob Beidler, the founder of this family in eastern
Pennsj'lvania, doubtless was among the emigrants from
the Rhenish Palatinate, whence so many of that faith seem
to have come in the early years of the last century.
Of his ancestry we have no knowledge. He came to
this country when a young man and was married to Annie
Meyer, daughter of Hans Meyer, who doubtless came from
the same region about or prior to 1720, and was the
progenitor of a numerous family. The history of his
descendants is traced in the Moyer family records compiled
by the author of this volume.
Jacob Beidler settled in Milford Twp., Bucks Co., Pa.
The facts of his life are few that we have been able to
glean. The conditions under which these early settlers
gained a livelihood were onerous in the extreme. Their
hardy endurance, thrifty economies, and sturdy piety as-
sured their success. The pioneers of that period laid broad
and deep the foundations on which the succeeding genera-
tions were enabled to construct the fabric of our national
independence.
If our forefathers were not to any great degree enrolled
among those who fought to secure liberties during the
Revolution, it was owing to their conscientious scruples
against bearing arms. While others fought during those
trying years of blood and tears, our fathers in tilling the
soil and in prosecuting other industries, helped to supply
the sinews of war. However, in later years when the
nation's life was endangered by the throes of civil war,
the sons of these peace-loving sires withheld not themselves
from their country's call. In many a battlefield of the
Rebellion they fought and fell and died. Engraven on many
a monument erected to commemorate the deeds of the
INTRODUCTION. VII
heroic dead will be found the names endeared to families
recorded herein, and again in these recent times when at
the call of oppressed humanity our country sent her sons
forth to battle among the islands of the tropics and of
distant seas, it will doubtless be found that the strain of
heroic blood has not ceased to flow in our veins. It would
not go beyond the facts to claim that there are representa-
tives of this family from its wide spreading branches in
every state of the Union. There is no trade, business or
profession but has registered among its members the kin
of our ancient progenitor.
Religion was the basis of the rugged virtues of the
early colonists. The meeting-house was erected almost as
soon as their homes. And prior to the rude structures in
which they assembled for divine service, woods and valleys
were made vocal with their songs of praise in the open air
assemblages. We, who now enjoy all the luxurious appoint-
ments of our modern church buildings, can scarcely realize
the deprivations amidst which our forefathers carried on
their religious services, and were happy, too, in these
primitive surroundings, because they could worship God
according to the dictates of their own consciences with
none to molest or make them afraid. Of such God-fearing
men and women were the first families of our ancestry
composed. By dint of hard toil they wrought out for them-
selves homes of comfort, and reared amid the simplicity of
plain manners, homely graces and meagre resources, the
children, who grew up to call them blessed. We of these
later generations whose lot is so favorably conditioned,
will do well to emulate their virtues. We may manifest
the same power of endurance, if not in subduing the virgin
soil, in overpowering the forces of evil which threaten our
nation's perpetuity. We can cultivate their artless piety,
which honored God in the home, reverenced Him in the
sanctuary, and promoted His laws in the state. We may
thus pass the heritage received from the fathers down to
the generations which may follow us, not only unimpaired,
but enhanced by the accumulated treasures of wisdom,
knowledge and religion, the resultant of the forceful
VIII INTRODUCTION.
energies which we have consecrated in our day to the
uplift of our common humanity.
In closing these introductory remarks I desire to
remind all interested in the work, of our lasting obligations
to the compiler of this volume for the persistent and pains-
taking efforts which have brought it to its present pro-
portions. One who has never tried to secure such data
cannot imagine the inertia and indifference to be overcome
on the one hand and the meagreness of facts to be obtained
on the other, nor again the diflBculties in the way of secur-
ing exact dates of births and deaths. But in spite of all
these hindrances the author has by "patient continuance
in well doing," been able to collect a wealth of facts and
figures which are both surprising and gratifying. And
again, there is not a living member of the families herein
mentioned but has been placed under great indebtedness,
also, to Mr. Francis Beidler, the one by whose disinterested
contributions this book has become a possibility. Having
a high estimate of the value of such a work and desiring
for others as well as himself a knowledge of our common
ancestry, he has fostered the undertaking with undimin-
ished interest from its inception to its close. We, of the
present, whose lines of lineage run back for nearly two
centuries to the same honored source, may esteem it a
welcome privilege to extend our cousinly greeting to one
who has proven himself a worthy son of worthy sires.
Yours in ancestral bonds,
H. B. GARNER.
Downingtown, Pa., July 1899.
EXPLANATIONS.
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
connections, each generation being marked consecutively
from first to last. The Roman numerals placed before each
name designate the generation to which they belong, as —
I. Jacob Beidler (first generation).
II. Barbara Beidler (Newcomer) (second generation).
III. Susanna Newcomer (Landis) (third generation).
IV. Barbara Landis (Jacoby) (fourth generation).
Beginning with the first (I.) ancestor, Jacob Beidler,
all his children are named as near in order of birth as
possible; then follows the daughter, Barbara Newcomer
(II. generation), and her children (III. generation) next,
and so on down to the last of her descendants.
Then the next daughter of Jacob Beidler, of the I.
generation, viz. Anna (Beitler) Oberholtzer, is carried
down in like manner to the last of her descendants, and so
on throughout the entire connections.
When marriages occur between members of the con-
nection the husband carries the record.
In the general index will be found the names of all
descendants mentioned in the book, also names of those
married in the family, and the pages on which their family
records are given in the body of the book.
To find family records see Index of Branches, where
names of all who had children of the first, second and third
generations are given.

CHAPTER I.
Jacob Beidler — account of coming to Pennsylvania, mar-
riage to Anna Meyer, account of her family history
and death, and names and marriages
of children.
I. Jacob Beidler, bom in Germany about 1708, or 1709,
emigrated to America in the early part of the eighteenth
century. He is said to have been a "Redemptioner", that
is, like many other German emigrants of Colonial times, he
had not the money to pay his passage to America, and on
his arrival in Philadelphia he was sold by the master of
the vessel for a term of years, to a party who advanced
the money for his passage over. It is quite evident that he
served his time with some one in Chester county, Pa., as he
at first lived in that county. He afterwards settled with
his family in "Lower" Milford township, Bucks county, Pa.,
in what was then known as the "Great Swamp", and which
was settled almost two centuries ago by English and Welsh
Friends or Quakers, and by Germans of the Mennonite
faith, who here sought and found refuge from the assaults
of religious oppression in the fatherland, and here they
and their descendants have lived side by side in peace and
"brotherly love", generation after generation, for nearly
two hundred years to the present time.
The "Great Swamp" included in its territory several
townships, and extended into the adjoining counties of
Montgomery and Lehigh, with Quakertown as the central
point. In the early settlement of this then wilderness dis-
trict, much of the land was decidedly swampy and con-
tinued so until the timber was cut down and the land
drained.

2 • THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
Tradition says the early settlers found the place
covered with a luxuriant growth of grass, and mostly
heavily timbered, while the forests were interspersed with
small prairies, and a rich soil. Here, not having the
facilities for building houses, they erected their rude dwell-
ings of bark, and later built more substantial dwellings.
The thrift and industry of the early settlers soon
changed the aspect of the great swampy wilderness; land
was cleared up and drained, the rude huts disappeared, and
in their places were erected more substantial dwellings,
with ample barns for crops and cattle, and everywhere
abundance prevailed.
Wolves, bears, deer, panthers, and venomous snakes
were numerous for years. Rattlesnakes were especially
troublesome to the mowers, who were compelled to wrap
their legs with hay or other material to ward off their bites.
There were also Indians located in different places,
but they were kindly disposed towards these peaceable
followers of William i'enn and Menno Simon, and all
through the years of bloody and devastating wars with the
infuriated and often treacherous red men, there was no
clash between them and these peaceable, non-resistant
settlers. The wigwams of the Indians were generally
along the banks of the creeks, and more particularly along
Swamp Creek, a branch of the Perkiomen and Tohickon,
not far distant from the Beidler homestead, and con-
sequently they were close neighbors. Here on Swamp
Creek there remained as late as 1770 a remnant of a once
powerful tribe.
These early settlers, followers of William Penn and
Menno Simon, were people who had left their homes and
kindred in the fatherland on account of their religious con-
victions, and settled here where they might enjoy liberty
of conscience. They were a quiet, unassuming, plain, in-
dustrious and upright Christian people. A people of peace,
conscientious sons of toil, mostly following the pursuits of
agriculture, or were millers, weavers and carpenters, avoid-
ing worldly honors and political ambitions. Later genera-

tions, however, have entered more largely into other
occupations and the higher professions, until now they
occupy every walk in life, from that of the country school-
master to that of the medical practitioner, public oflScials,
counselors of the law, state legislators, judges of the
courts, and college presidents. Then, too, among the
descendants of these non-resistant pioneer settlers were
even those who entered armed legions of war, commanded
in battle and fell in defence of country, home and humanity.
Jacob Beidler married Anna Meyer, daughter of Hans
Meyer, a pioneer, who had emigrated from Europe, either
Germany or Switzerland, in the early part of the eighteenth
century, or about 1725, and settled in Upper Salford town-
ship, Montgomery county. Pa., about two miles east of
Salfordville, where he purchased a tract of land containing
216 acres, besides the usual allowance of 6 per cent
for roads.
The deed of Isaac Pennington and wife and Casper
Wister, to Hans Meyer, bears date July 23, 1729. The
original homestead of Hans Meyer is now owned and oc-
cupied by Jacob L. Moyer, a great-great-grandson. Nothing
is known of the life and characteristics of Hans Meyer.
He was a Mennonite and worshiped at the Pranconia meet-
ing-house, where his remains were buried, but he has no
tombstone. The family of Hans Meyer consisted of the
following children, viz.: Barbara, Henry, John, Jacob,
Elizabeth, Hester and Anna.
Barbara Meyer was born about 1710, and married John
Fretz, who with his brother. Christian Fretz, emigrated
from near the city of Manheim, in the Grand Duchy of
Baden, Germany, formerly known as the Palatinate, or
Rhenish Prussia. The family had been for a number of
centuries resident in Germany, but probably earlier were of
Swiss origin. It is said the Fretz brothers emigrated to
America during the "last persecution". The exact date is
not known, but in all probability it was about 1725.
They, too, had emigrated to America on account of
religious persecution. John Fretz probably settled for a

wife survived him twenty years and died May 8, 1823. It
Is a noteworthy fact that at the time of her death she was
the mother of 12 children, had 109 grandchildren and 103
great-grandchildren.
Abraham Fretz was born about 1736. He lived on a
farm of 226 acres, located in the eastern part of Bedminster
township, known as Fretz Valley, now owned by H. Erwin

JACOB BEIDLER. 7
Anna Meyer (daughter of Hans) married Jacob Beidler,
the subject of this work. They settled at first somewhere
in Chester county, and later in "Lower"* Milford township,
Bucks Co., Pa., about one mile west of Spinnerstown, where
he purchased a tract of 50 acres in 1753, and another tract
of 70 acres and 111 perches was acquired by Proprietaries
Patent of Thomas and Richard Penn, in 1760.
In an article of agreement, dated May 1, 1801, Jacob
Beitler agreed to convey to his son. Christian Beitler, and
by his will, dated May 2, 1801, directed his executors
therein named to convey to his son Christian all his lands,
and in accordance therewith on April 8, 1811, John Beitler,
surviving executor of Jacob Beitler, deceased, conveyed to
Christian Beitler, of Milford township, the two messuages
and two tracts of land in Milford township, containing 50
acres, and 70 acres and 111 perches, respectively. The
indenture reads as follows:

To the homestead Christian Beitler in 1812 added by
purchase from Henry Shelly a tract of three (3) acres and
57 perches adjoining.
Christian Beitler died June 26, 1827, and Letters of
Administration on his estate were granted July 16, 1827,
to Henry Fretz, his son-in-law, the widow, Susanna, having
renounced.
April 28, 1828, Henry Fretz, of New Britain township,
petitioned for inquest of the above real estate. His petition
sets forth that Christian Beitler died intestate on the date
above given, survived by a widow, Susanna, and issue,
three children: Elizabeth, wife of Henry Fretz (the peti-
tioner), Nancy, wife of Abraham Moyer, and Mary Beitler.
The property as returned by a recent survey was found to
contain 132 acres and 80 perches. The heirs neglecting to
accept it at the valuation placed thereon ($37.50 per acre),
it was sold after considerable delay, in November 1829 to
Abraham Moyer for $36.75 per acre. The deed therefor,
from Henry Fretz, administrator of Christian Beitler, to
Abraham Moyer, is dated April 1, 1830. The homestead is
now owned by Mrs. Alfred Ritter, who is a great-grand-
daughter of Christian Beitler and granddaughter of Abra-
ham Moyer, and resides on the property, but the old home-
stead proper is occupied as a tenant house.
Of the personality of the pioneer Jacob Beitler we
know nothing, and the exact time of his immigration to
America has not been ascertained, but it is said that he
came with the "second immigration of William Penn."
Jacob Beitler, a venerable pioneer, lived to the great
age of 101 years, and is said to have become blind in his
latter days. He made his Will in 1801, which was probated
and registered May 12, 1810, and reads as follows:
In the name of God, Amen. I, Jacob Beidler, of Lower
Milford Township, in the County of Bucks and State of

CHAPTER II.
Newcomer Branch. Descendants of Barbara Beitler
(born 1737) and John Newcomer.
II. — 1. Barbara Beitler, born in 1737, died aged 73"
years. Married John Newcomer. He was born in 1739,
died aged 64 years, 11 months and 15 days. He was a
farmer and lived and died in Upper Saucon Twp., Lehigh
Co., Pa., on the place now (1898) owned by Charles Yeager.
It is said that he was a Mennonite minister, and that he
was imprisoned during the Revolutionary War "because
being a Mennonite he was too conscientious to fight."
The first meeting-house of the Mennonite congregation
near Coopersburg, known as the Saucon Mennonite meet-
ing-house, where John Newcomer and his wife are buried,
was built about 1738, of logs. This was replaced by an-
other in 1747. The present house was built in 1841. The
first congregation worshiping there was the "Old School
Mennonite", "and that body still retains all their original
rights and privileges", but as there are scarcely any mem-
bers of that creed remaining which still adheres to the
creed of their fathers, they have had no regular pastor
there since the death of Rev. Samuel Moyer in 1877. The
"New School Mennonites" are now the only denomination
holding services there. As no records were kept, it is im-
possible to give the order in which the congregation was
ministered to by its pastors, as two or three sometimes
preached there at the same time, but among the early
preachers was Rev. Jacob Meyer, who was born in
Switzerland in 1721, died May 4, 1790, and who served as
pastor till his death, but how long is not known. It is quite
probable that John NeWcomer was associated with him as
one of the ministers. John Newcomer made his Will in
1802, which was probated Dec. 7, 1804. His Executors were

his son, John Newcomer, Jr., and "Christian Beitler, his
brother-in-law." The will reads as follows:
In the name of God, Amen. I, John Newcomer, of
Upper Saucon township, Northampton county, in the state
of Pennsylvania, Yeoman, do find myself in an advanced
age, but of sound and perfect mind, memory and under-
standing, but considering the uncertainty of this mortal
life, do make and publish this my last Will and Testament
in manner and form following, viz.:
1st. I Will and order that all my just debts and funeral
expenses be speedily paid after my decease, by my herein-
after named Executors. 2dly. I give and bequeathe unto
my beloved wife, Barbara, a cow to have the choice out of
my whole flock, the clock, two beds and bedsteads and bed-
dings thereunto belonging, to take the choice out of all my
beds, my ten plate stove, her chest, a table and such other
of my household goods and furniture as she may choose or
may have occasion for. I also give and bequeathe unto her
the sum of one nundred pounds lawful money of Pennsyl-
vania, to be paid to her in one year after my decease, the
same to be paid out of my personal estate by my herein-
after named Executors for her own use & at her own dis-
posal in case she remains my widow.
3dly. I Will and order that my beloved wife, Barbara,
shall have and enjoy all and singular the articles of sub-
sistance, and the rights & privileges which I have re-
served and agree upon for her in a certain article of agree-
ment made between me and my two sons, namely John and
Henry Newcomer, bearing date the twenty-third day of
this instant, as in and by the same may appear.
4thly. I do hereby give and bequeathe unto my said
two sons, John and Henry Newcomer, the eight last yearly
payments, each one hundred pounds, which they have
agreed to pay unto me by the above mentioned article of
agreement. 5thly. I do hereby give and bequeathe unto
my son, Abraham Newcomer, the sum of four hundred
pounds out of the last payment which he owes me and
agreed to pay by a certain article of agreement bearing

children, namely Susana, Jacob, Nancy, Elizabeth, Molly
and David, each of them shall have his share (including
what each of them has received of me in my lifetime),

manufacturer. In 1899 he and his sons John and Frederick
built a new saw mill and crate factory at the E. A. W. rail-
road station, Sharon Centre, O., where the sons are doing
a flourishing business. Frederick Alderfer was a man held
in high esteem, a kind and affectionate husband and father,
and an exemplary Christian. He was sick for a year, but
was confined to his bed only eighteen days, when death
came to his relief. He was very solicitous for the spiritual
welfare of his family, and his prayer was that they might
so live that they could meet him in the home beyond. His
was a triumphant death, and as the veil that separates this
from the future life was drawn aside, a glorious vision
greeted his eye as he exclaimed, "What a beautiful car-
riage is coming to take me through the clouds!" Menu's.

uated in 1889. In the fall of 1889 he entered the seminary

At the age of thirteen his father died. He then made
Ms home with his brother Henry and became an apprentice
in his steam marble works, where he served for four years
besides attending the public schools. At the age of seven-
teen he had mastered his trade and worked as journeyman
for a short time. Although having acquired a common
school education he felt a desire of obtaining a more liberal
education. He accordingly entered Mount Pleasant Sem-
inary, Boyertown, Pa., where he took an academic course
and entered Palatinate College, Myerstown, Pa,, in the
spring of 1870. In January 1873 he became a member of
the Sophomore Class at Ursinus College. Having deter-
mined upon taking up the profession of medicine he en-
tered the office of Dr. G. T. Fox, Bath, Pa., at the close of
that term of college. Two years later he graduated at
Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York City. Being
desirous of a more extended knowledge of medicine he
entered the Senior class at the Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, where he devoted his time to special studies,
and also graduated from that institution in the class of
1876. In July of the same year he located at Ackerman-
ville. Pa., where he practiced his profession for a period of
seven years. At this time things began to boom in what
is now known as the great Slate Belt. Pen Argyl, now a
thriving town of 4,000 inhabitants, was then unknown, and
also the spot now flourishing with industries was a wilder-
ness at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains. Quarry after
quarry was opened and developed, until the slate business
assumed gigantic proportions. Thus Pen Argyl now bears
the proud distinction of occupying a position in the center
and heart of the great Slate Belt of Eastern Pennsylvania.
Dr. Swartz, grasping the opportunity, moved his office to
this booming town in its early days, and through his un-
tiring efforts and skill as a physician and surgeon he kept
apace with the progress of the rising town, gained many
friends and enjoys a lucrative practice.
Dr. Swartz served a number of years on the Board of
Directors of the public schools, and is now the Secretary
of the local Board of Health, which position he has held
46 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
for years. In 1894 he received the nomination for the
Legislature on the Republican ticket and lacked but 207
votes of an election in a district whose Democratic
majority of 3,500 to 4,000 was seldom known to be shaken.

Of the children, Elhanan and Benjamin met with a very
sad death. Clarence, the eldest, had gone to Port Provi-
dence for the mail, and when returning was met about one-
fourth mile from home by his brothers. By the roadside
was a sand hole, into which all jumped except little Lewis.
Suddenly the overhanging bank gave way and buried the
three eldest and the fourth all but his head. Albanus told
Lewis to give the alarm, and help soon came. Albanus was
rescued uninjured. Clarence was next reached and was
supposed to be dead, but was resuscitated in a little while.
As soon as possible Elhanan and Benny were reached, but
both were dead, though only covered with eighteen inches
of sand. The funeral was largely attended. The ministers
present were Revs. C. I. Thompson, Jacob Meyers, Jacob
Gotwals and C. C. Walker. The sight was a sorrowful one,
and many a strong man shed tears as he gazed upon the
little forms so suddenly cut off upon the threshold of life.

Co., Pa., Oct. 26, 1832; d. May 24, 1899; mrd. Eliza J. Culler,
at Connellsville, Pa., Dec. 1, 1853. He went to Kansas in
1867, and settled in Nemaha Co. In 1876 he moved to
Marshall Co., and in 1887 to Pottawattomie Co., where he
remained until his death. He died at Manhattan, Kansas,
where he had gone to receive medical treatment for one
of his eyes. Shortly after retiring for the night he was
suddenly taken with heart trouble, and died in a short time.
His daughter. Miss Ella, was the only one of the family
with him when he died.
"Mr. Stauffer, all through life, exhibited traits of char-
acter and a spirit of social deportment which attracted
scores of men, women and children to him as confiding
friends, who no doubt will deck his eternal brow with
wreaths of undying love."
He was firm and confiding in his belief of divine power
in Almighty God, and all through the many adversities he
encountered in life, he never lost sight of his obligations to
God. This fact was clearly shown only a few moments
before he closed his eyes in death, when he knelt beside
his bed in the presence of his daughter and there offered
prayer to God and committed himself to His care. He was
a devoted husband and a kind and loving father. In his
death his devoted wife and children realize that a vacancy
in the family circle has been made that no earthly friend
can fill. Farmer. Church of God. Children: 1. Ella; 2.

wrought at the loom for the family and the neighborhood.
Mr. Overholt prosecuted his trade continuously till about
1810, when he and his youngest brother, Christian, pur-
chased a special interest in the homestead farm, and after
a couple of years' co-partnership with his brother in farm-
ing he bought the latter's interest, comprising 150 acres, at
$50.00 an acre, a price regarded high. This purchase in-
cluded a log distillery, having the capacity of three or four
bushels of grain per day only; at that time nearly every
farm in the neighborhood possessed its private distillery.
Mr. Overholt soon after the purchase built a stone distil-
lery which had a capacity of from forty to fifty bushels per
day, but he had no mill and got his grain chopped on
Jacob's Creek in what is now Scottdale, and at Bridgeport.
The hauling of the chop from these places to the distillery
was principally by cattle driven by Mr. Overholt's younger
sons, in whose minds dwelt long after vivid memories of
those slow and dreary days, when the cattle were likely to
stall at various points along the road. About 1834 Mr.
Overholt built a brick flouring mill, and thereafter did his
own chopping for the distillery.
This mill and distillery were kept running until 1859,
when both were taken down and on their site was erected
a large structure comprising mill and distillery, the dimen-
sions of which were 100 feet in length, 63 in width, and six
stories in height. The capacity of the distillery is 200
bushels per day, that of the mill 50 barrels of flour. A
short time before the erection of the new building, Mr.
Henry S. Overholt, the oldest child of Abraham Overholt,
purchased a half interest in his father's farm, flouring and
distilling business. Abraham Overholt was the first dis-
coverer of coal in that portion of Westmoreland county,
and commenced its use before others used it. Prior to its
discovery coal was brought from the other side of the
mountains to the blacksmith shops of the region, and which
it was found stood over the finest strata of coal. Mr. Over-
holt used to exhibit his coal mines in an early day as a
curiosity to visiting strangers from the East. Abraham
Overholt as a business man was distinguished for the order

with which he conducted all his affairs, for his firmness in
decision, for his promptness, great energy and punctuality.
He was never known to disappoint a creditor seeking pay-
ment. He was gentle to his employes and straightforward
in all his dealings. As a citizen he was what his character
would indicate. He was public spirited and one of the
earliest and most ardent advocates of the present school
system of the State. He was very successful in business,
and his estate paid out to the heirs about $350,000.

return to Scottdale on the 16th, but on the Sunday evening
previous she was somewhat indisposed, and before daylight
it became necessary to send for the family physician. Con-
sultation became essential, and two eminent physicians, one
from Cleveland and one from Buffalo, were called, but all
to no purpose. Mrs. Overholt was of that rare and rich
temperament that she possessed the power of adapting her-
self to everybody. Her sympathies were broad, and her
religious life, while deeply spiritual and profoundly reven-
tial, was ever lighted up with a glowing cheerfulness. Her
presence in the church was a benediction to all. Her

the prayer meetings will long be treasured in the memories
of her co-laborers in the church. To her pastor she was an
inspiration in his work. Ever ready with a word of en-
couragement and commendation, when necessary and ap-
propriate, she was entirely free from adulation. Positive in
her own convictions, she always emphasized them in the
most kindly spirit. She was always tolerant and charitable,
and by most intimate friends was never known to give
expression to an unkindly sentiment. At her funeral the
singers, with sorrowing, tearful voices, sang the songs she
loved, and her pastor paid deserved tribute, while flowers
in abundance covered the casket. God in His mercy com-
fort the loved ones left. P. O., Scottdale, Pa. Mr. Over-

Abraham Overholt Tinstman, born in Westmoreland
Co., Pa., was reared on the farm where the Emma Mine
Coke Works are now located. He received a common
school education and remained on the farm until twenty-
five years of age, when he went to Broad Ford, Fayette
county, to take charge of the mill, distillery and lands of
his maternal grandfather, Abraham Overholt.
In 1864 A, O. Tinstman became a partner with his
grandfather in the firm of A. Overholt & Co., and continued
to manage this company's affairs until the death of the
latter. Five years previous to this event Mr. Tinstman
and Joseph Rist had bought six hundred acres of coal land
near Broad Ford, and in 1868, in partnership with Col. A. S.
M. Morgan, they opened what is now called the Morgan
Mines, and engaged extensively in making coke. Morgan
& Co. then controlled almost the entire coke business of
that region, and built a mile of railroad to secure an outlet
for their product. In 1870 Mr. Tinstman organized and
built the Mt. Pleasant & Broad Ford Railroad, connecting
with the Pittsburg & Connellsville Railroad at Broad Ford.
He continued its president until he sold the entire road to
the B. & O. R. R. six years later. This was the beginning
of the development of the coke business in Westmoreland
county. In 1871 he formed another coke company and
associated with him Messrs. Joseph Rist and H. C. Frick,
under the firm name of H. C. Frick & Co., thus establishing
the great H. C. Frick Coke Co., and this firm built two
hundred (200) coke ovens, now known as the "Novelty"
and "Henry Clay" Works. In 1872 Morgan & Co. bought
400 acres of coal lands at Latrobe, and Mr. Tinstman also
made extensive purchases of other coal tracts, which led
to the loss of his entire possessions in the panic of 1873.
He set bravely to work to retrieve his losses, and in 1878
and 1880 was enabled to purchase options on coal tracts in
the Connellsville region. In the last named year he sold
DANIEL B. BEITLER.

tMrty-five hundred acres at a good profit, and soon bought
a half interest in the Rising Sun Coke Works. About this
time he established the firm of A. O. Tinstman & Co., in
Pittsburg, and was highly successful in his operations. In
1881 he acquired Mt. Braddock and Pennsville Coke Works,
and three years later sold all his coke interests.
For the last ten years he has been engaged in the
purchase and sale of coal lands in Western Pennsylvania
and West Virginia.
In 1879 was built the fine mansion which Mr. Tinstman
and family now occupy. The grounds include the site
where once stood a pioneer cabin, the home of Mrs. Myers,
which gave shelter to Greorge Washington after his raft had
capsized in the Allegheny on one of his exploring expedi-
tions. Presby. One child:

Christian S. Overholt has been a man of long and wide
experience. His prominent connection with financial and
industrial affairs made him an admirable and valuable
member of the Pennsylvania Board of Commissioners. For
many years he was the manager of the firm of Overholt &
Co., of Broadford, Pa., a well known firm of distillers.
Nearly a third of a century ago he retired from the firm and
became president of the First National Bank of Mt.
Pleasant, Pa. After ably performing the functions of this
responsible post for a long time he retired from active
business life and removed to Philadelphia, where he still
resides. Baptist. Children: 1. Alice; 2. Charles; 3. Mary;

beth Stauffer, Nov. 1811. She was b. Jan. 19, 1794; d. Nov.
21, 1887. He followed at different times the occupation of
farming and distilling. In the autumn of 1858 he accom-
panied his son Abraham to Fostoria, Ohio, where the latter
had purchased a farm. During the remaining years of his
life he made his home with this son. In disposition he was
impulsive and quick spoken, but kind hearted and generous
to a fault. His wife survived him nearly twenty years.
She was a sister to his brother Abraham Overholt's wife,
a daughter of Rev. John and Elizabeth Stauffer.
Christian Overholt and his wife were faithful members
of the Mennonite church, and after moving to the State of
Ohio, they drove a distance of twelve miles to attend wor-
ship in a church of their chosen denomination.
To the grandchildren one of the most precious mem-
ories is that of their grandmother. Her son and his wife
were untiring in their devotion to her, while her presence
in their home was ever like a gracious benediction. Her
son often said of her, "I have never seen Mother out of
patience, nor heard her utter one unkind word." She re-
tained full possession of her mental faculties until her
death at the age of nearly ninety-four years. Children: 1.

Dr. Jacob A. Shesler was born near Lancaster, Fair-
field Co., Ohio, Aug. 30, 1836. He was born and raised on
a farm, and nothing of special interest occurred in his life
until in the spring of 1852, when he, with a company of
young men, left for California across the "Plains." Many
interesting incidents of his perilous journey, for want of
space, must be passed over, such as sickness and death
on the train, a burial scene on the Plains, witnessing the
cremation of an Indian chief, a war dance by 2,000 Indians,
a murder on the emigrant road, the capture of the mur-
derer, his trial, conviction and execution, all done between
sunup and sundown, scenery of the South Pass of the
Rocky Mountains, a narrow escape from a pack of wolves,
a foot race for life from a band of hostile Pawnee Indians,
"Devil's Gate" on the Sweetwater, and cordial reception by
"Jim" Beckwith, a former Indian Chief of the Crow Indians,
etc. Suffice it to say that he safely arrived in Butte county
in September following without a dime in his pocket.
Here he hired out to a mining company at four dollars
per day and board. A few months later he had charge of
the working "gang," and a short time subsequently he
became one of the owners of the mine. Being a stranger
in a strange land, and without experience, his life's
struggles began with its alternations of successes and fail-
ures. At one time his mining property in Sierra county was
estimated to be worth from $80,000 to $100,000, but by
trusting to the honesty of a "friend," he became involved
in a law-suit which cost him over $3,000, and the loss of all
his valuable mining property.
In the great upheaval of political parties in 1856 he
took an active part in the formation of the Republican
ANNA BEITLER. 175
party in Sierra county and became its first candidate for
the Legislature from the 17th Judicial District the follow-
ing year. He was one of the nine delegates from Sierra
county to the first Republican State convention ever held
in California, which convened in the city of Sacramento,
Feb. 16, 1860, for the purpose of electing delegates to the
National Republican convention held in Chicago, which
nominated the immortal Abraham Lincoln as its standard-
bearer.
On the 11th day of August 1860 Dr. Shesler boarded the
steamer for Panama, and was on his way to his old Ohio
home, which destination he reached in September, after
an absence of eight years and five months. These were
the most active years of his life and were crowded with
many dangers, disappointments, successes and failures,
labors of body and mind, interspersed with many incidents
of pleasure.
In 1863 he enlisted in the 49th O. V. I. and served his
time till after the close of the war.
Soon after marriage he with his wife moved to the
town of Fostoria, Ohio, where they resided until the fall of
1881, when, on account of the failing health of Mrs. Shesler,
they moved to California, selecting the city of San Jose,
Santa Clara county, as their place of residence, and where
they still reside. In 1874 he began the study of medicine,
and graduated from the Physio-Medical College of Cincin-
nati, Ohio, in March 1877, which profession he is still fol-
lowing as a "specialist." In 1891 he became afilicted with
partial paralysis of the motor nerve, which deprived him
of an active practice. Mrs. S., Christian Ch. Children:

body and of sound mind, memory and understanding, but
considering the uncertainty of this transitory life, do make

III. — 1. Jacob Beidler, b. in Bucks Co., Pa., Nov. 27,
1778; d. Dec. 25, 1864; mrd. Mary Landis, about 1802. She
was b. near Franconia, Montgomery Co., Pa., in 1779; d.
Aug. 14, 1823.
Reared on a farm, industry, frugality and economy were
a prominent part of his early education. Early trained in
the religious faith of his forefathers he became a devout,
conscientious and consistent member of the Mennonite
church; full of zeal for the cause of his Master, a regular
attendant on the services of the church and with an open
hand of charity for the cause, setting a godly example be-
fore his family and ever maintaining the deportment of a
Christian man both at home and abroad. His advice and
counsel were sought by many and he was esteemed as one
of excellent judgment.
When a young man he labored very hard, and later in
life he related that many a time on awaking in the morn-
ing his fingers were so stiff and swollen he was obliged to
use one hand to open the fingers of the other before he
could put on his garments.
He also related that when a boy, during the year
known as the cold season, he often went to mill on horse-
back with a quantity of dried chestnuts, dried potatoes and
a little rye in a sack to be ground for griddle cakes — an
ample schooling to make the lesson of frugality impressive.
About the year 18(72 he wooed and won the hand of
Mary Landis, who mutually with him as a loving and
affectionate wife and faithful mother shared the joys and
carried the burdens of life until her death, which came all
186 THE BBIDLER HISTORY.
too soon in the year 1823. To them were born the following
children: 1. John; 2. Elizabeth; 3. William; 4. Jacob; 5.
Abraham; 6. Joseph; 7. Daniel; 8. Israel; 9. Mary; 10.
Hannah; 11. Samuel; 12. Josiah.
After marriage they settled on the farm in Chester
Valley, a little over two miles from Valley Forge, on the
road to Phoenixville, where now lives his daughter, Hannah
Beidler. Here the children were reared and received their
early education at the old Diamond Rock schoolhouse.
During the years of their bereavement the eldest daughter,
Elizabeth, took charge of the family and with a matronly
hand administered the affairs with great credit.
In the year 1825 he married Frances Roher, who with
a motherly heart assumed the grave and responsible duties
of the home, being much loved and respected by the chil-
dren. She was b. Nov. 5, 1780; d. Apr. 8, 1855. At the time
of this marriage, however, some of the older members of
the family began to feel the necessity of pushing out into
the world for themselves, thus diminishing the family cares *
at home; and with the coming and going of the years,
Mr. Beidler became one of the thrifty and prosperous
farmers of the valley.
Not many years after his second marriage he built a
commodious family residence on the northeast part of the
old farm just at the foot of the Valley hill, with comfortable
outbuildings, to which he retired, giving the care of the
farm to his son. Rev. Israel Beidler. Some time in the
30's he built, or was instrumental in building, the Menno-
nite meeting house in the valley, a little over one-half mile
west of his home. For some reason, religious services were
seldom held here and since his death the property has
fallen into decay.
April 8, 1855, he was again bereft, by the death of his
second wife. He was fortunate, however, in having his
youngest daughter, Hannah, still at home, who tenderly
cared for him during the remainder of his life. He was
exceedingly fond of fishing and after retiring from the
farm he often went during the summer season to the
JOHN BEITLER. 187
Schuylkill river and seldom returned without a good catch.
He almost lived to see the close of the great rebellion,
of which he was repeatedly heard to speak prophetically
long years before it took place, as certain to come. He
died Dec. 25, 1864, aged 86 years, 28 days, and his remains
sleep in the quiet little churchyard beside those of loved
ones gone before.
After his death the homestead came into the possession
of his daughter Hannah, who has presided there with
matronly heart for nearly forty years. It, however, recently
passed into the hands of her niece, Mrs. M. F. Kemble, of
Philadelphia. It is still the dear old home and the hearts
of the grandchildren turn toward it with many fond re-
membrances. And it is hoped a place so cherished may not
soon pass into the hands of strangers.

1803; d. in Canandaigua, Ontario Co., N. Y., Mar. 25, 1845;
mrd. Rauchy Ann Leacock, Oct. 18, 1833. She was b. at
Mt. Pleasant, N. J., Feb. ; d. in Lenawee Co., Mich.,
Dec. 12, 1883. John Beidler received a good education and
was an excellent scribe. He was the oldest of eight chil-
dren, in consequence of which his services were in great
demand on his father's farm. On attaining his majority
he engaged in the purchase of cattle and sheep for the
Philadelphia market, often going on horseback as far west
as the central and western portion of the State of Ohio
and purchasing cattle for the Cincinnati market. In the
spring of 1832 he went into the State of New York to
purchase a drove of sheep which he procured principally
in the county of Ontario, during which time he put up with
an old gentleman, a well-to-do farmer in the township of
East Bloomfield, by the name of John B. Allen. Here he
became acquainted with Miss Rauchy Ann Leacock, Mr.
Allen's granddaughter, and after marketing his sheep in
Philadelphia, returned in the autumn and they were mar-
ried Oct. 18, 1833. He purchased an excellent farm of 117
188 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
acres on the west shore of Canandaigua lake, three miles
from the village of Canandaigua, in the county of Ontario.
This farm contained an excellent apple orchard, which he
greatly improved by grafting until it was said he had the
best fruit in the county and none better in western New
York. He was the first man in the State to attempt the
shipping of green fruit to supply the then destitute western
market. In the fall of 1848 he packed 1,200 barrels of
choice apples, which he shipped, but owing to a lack of
better facilities than the slow transportation of the Erie
canal his apples were frozen before they reached Buffalo
and the whole cargo was a total loss. He was exceedingly
fond of fishing, and fish were then abundant. He was the
first man on the lake to possess a large seine, which he
and two others knitted during the winter season. He was
counted the most successful fisherman on the lake. Other
parties becoming jealous of his success came in the night
and destroyed his seine. The perpetrators were never
apprehended. Politically he was a strong Whig, and while
greatly interested in putting others into office, he refused
to hold any office himself.
In the days of "Old Tippecanoe" he and one of his
neighbors employed men and went into the woods and cut
down a large tree; they hewed out a large canoe 42 feet
long, mounted it on wheels and put six span of horses be-
fore it; twenty men rode in it with paddles, with the
American flag for a sail, and rode to the election. In the
month of October, 1844, he was taken ill with influenza,
from which he suffered greatly in the head, and after being
severely salivated with calomel a large seton was put in
the back of his neck, all of which was of no avail. He
lingered until March 25, 1845, when he died with what
physicians termed abscess on the brain.
He was not a member of any church, but was a moral,
upright man, highly respected and greatly beloved, and
kindly disposed; he was the friend of the poor. After his
death the farm was sold, and the family, consisting of his
wife, three sons and one daughter, removed to Chester

V. — 1. Rev. Dr. Jacob A. Beidler, b. in Canandaigua,
Ontario Co., N. Y., July 14, 1834; mrd. Ann E. Ingalls, of
Dover, Mich., Mar. 28, 1859. P. O., Monroe, Wis. Minister
and physician. He was not yet eleven years old at the
death of his father, in March 1845. After removing to
Chester Co., Pa., he was one year with his grandfather,
and afterwards was with his uncle Abraham in Montgomery
county until he had passed his sixteenth year, when he
removed to Lenawee Co., Mich. Here, after attending
school for a year, he engaged in teaching and later served
two terms as superintendent of schools. He taught in
Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Missouri, and while in Illinois
had the opportunity of taking up the study of medicine,
which he pursued the greater part of two years privately,
with the advantage of a hospital or infirmary practice. He
then began the study of theology, in 1856, and was first
licensed to preach the gospel in November 1858.
In the spring of 1858 he and two others, Newell Sexton
and Aretus Sexton, brothers, packed their carpet sacks and
started on foot for the western part of Missouri, a distance
of over 300 miles. The rivers were swollen and no bridges,
and they were often obliged to wade. On one occasion
they waded across the bottoms of Linn river from one till
four o'clock in the afternoon and were so chilled that
Newell Sexton took fever and died. They were in water
from knee deep up to their arms all that time and the
water as cold as ice; often they were obliged to carry
their carpet sacks on their heads that they might have a
change of dry clothing on reaching the other side.
In 1859, Mar. 28, he was married to Ann Elizabeth,
daughter of Daniel C. and Almyra Ingalls, of Dover, Mich.,
and, returning to the State of Missouri, settled at Hamilton
in Caldwell county. Here he remained until the breaking
out of the rebellion. In the autumn of 1860, after the
presidential election, the excitement ran very high, making

it unsafe for people from the Northern States, and for six
months they were not certain on going to bed at night
that the house would not be burned over their heads.
They lived in constant fear of their lives until the 27th day
of April, 1861, when they were warned by a committee that
they must leave the State or enter the rebel ranks, and
were given thirty-six hours in which to make up their
minds. After being notified a meeting was held at his
house and they were not long in reaching a decision, as
there were only eight Union families in town. So on Sun-
day they gathered up a few things and on Monday morning
at 7:30 o'clock left for Illinois. He landed in Quincy at 6
p. m., with a wife and one child and not money enough to
buy a cracker, but God raised up friends for them.
They left their house furnished and provisioned for the
rebels. This was the second misfortune that overtook him,
as he lost all his property in the crash of 1857.
Returning to Michigan they were made comfortable
and happy. In 1868 he entered the Synod of Northern Indi-
ana and in January 1869 became pastor of Yellow Creek
charge in Stephenson Co., 111., and united with the Synod
of Northern Illinois, of which Synod he is still a member.
He has been instrumental in building three new churches
and organizing as many new congregations. He was pastor
at Yellow Creek for six years, at Twin Grove two years,
at Davis seven years, at Lanark eight years, and six years
at Monroe, during which time he was pastor at Twin Grove
also. He was several times honored with the Presidency
of Synod, has often been placed on important committees
in the work of the Synod, and was several times chosen
as a delegate to the General Synod. For twenty-nine years
he has continued a member of this body amid the coming
and going of scores of his brethren, and is at this time its
oldest active member. In 1878 he was legally authorized to
continue the practice of medicine under the new law and
is an active member of the Northwestern Homoeopathic
Medical Society. He continued the practice during the
years of his ministerial life as a secondary matter, al-
though quite successful. Having passed his three score and

can say:

And 1 know not where I'll be,
But where'er my path be leading.

also removed to Chester Co., Pa., where he resided with
his grandfather until the war of the Rebellion in 1861, when
he enlisted, first in the three months' service, but before
his time expired he enlisted in the 97th Regiment of Penn-
sylvania Volunteers, Co. H. His company was sent to
Florida to guard a point at or near St. Augustine. Here he
remained until Apr. 3, 1864, when he returned home on fur-
lough, at which time he re-enlisted during the war. Return-
ing to his company he remained in Florida until they were
ordered to join Sherman at Charleston, S. C, and with this
army marched on Petersburg, Va. Before Petersburg he
was wounded in the thigh, but was soon able to rejoin his
company. In front of Petersburg his detachment lay in the
trenches three days without relief, food or water. The
weather was exceedingly hot and rainy; there was water
in the bottom of the trenches from three inches to one
foot in depth, and the boys were obliged to dig holes in the
bank in which to lie. From where he lay he could throw a
stone into the rebel works. The excessive heat and fatigue
brought on fever and he was taken to the 18th Army Corps
Hospital, but lived only three days. He expired on the 2d
day of August, 1864, aged twenty-three years. He was a
brave soldier, having on several occasions won promotion,
which he refused.

His early education was received in West Chester, Pa.
When about thirteen years of age his parents moved to
Minneapolis, Minn., where he spent several years in various
employments, mainly in the flour mills of that city. Re-
suming his studies, he graduated from Macalester College,
St. Paul, Minn., in 1894, with the degree of B. R. In the
fall of the same year (1894) he entered Princeton Theolog-
ical Seminary and completed the course in that institution.
In February 1897, several months before his studies were
completed, he was called to supply the pulpit of the Cen-
tennial Presbyterian church, at Jeffersonville, Montgomery
Co., Pa., and on May 13 of the same year was ordained and
installed as pastor of that church. In August 1900 he ac-
cepted a call to the First Presbyterian church of Worcester,
Mass., where unusual success has met his labors. Children:

1858. He purchased the farm at Lionville and lived thereon
the rest of his days. The farm was also the residence of
his son, John Beitler, but is now (1899) occupied by the
latter's son, Holland Beitler.
John Beitler, the subject of this sketch, was of German
descent and combined the generous hospitality and habits
of industry for which the true type of his race are proverb-
ial. Dying at the great age of nearly ninety-three years, he
had survived all his youthful companions of his own age,
and remained to the succeeding generations an object of
veneration for purity of character and kindliness of nature,
such as is rarely found. Lacking much book education, yet
he possessed such clear common sense and soundness of
judgment as to make his counsel sought by high and low.
Though living to an age when most minds become feeble,

JOHN BEITLER. 209
his intellect remained unclouded to the last, and he de-
lighted to have his neighbors and acquaintances call to see
him and talk over current events of the day. His mind was
richly stored with reminiscences of the past, reaching far
back into the dim distance beyond the memories of those
by whom he was surrounded, and constituted a living his-
tory of the neighborhood for three-fourths of a century.
He was one of the County Commissioners of Chester
county in 1838, and during his term the present county jail
at West Chester was built. He was also a member of the
State Legislature of Pennsylvania in 1843. To both of these
positions he was chosen for his rare honesty and freedom
from the scheming of the politicians. His funeral took
place on the 26th of December, 1872, which was the most
inclement day of the season; the respect in which he was
held was proven by those attending regardless the extreme
cold and blinding hail and snow. He lived to be loved
by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, an esteemed
citizen. Full of years, at the advanced age of ninety-three,
he passed away, the lamp of life slowly flickering out. He
and wife were buried side by side in the Friends burying-
ground at Lionville. Children: 1. Jesse; 2. Hannah; 3.

Jesse Jones Beitler was a farmer by occupation, and
lost his right hand in a threshing machine, Nov. 3, 1853. He
then learned to write with his left hand. His neighbors
were very kind to him and elected him to township offices
from that time until his death. He was a minister of the

hurst and wife joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints (commonly called Mormons), about the year
1845. They soon thereafter left Chester Co., Pa., and went
to Nauvoo, Illinois, where they resided about a year, when
they were driven away by a mob, with all the rest of the
Latter Day Saints, from their homes and temple. They
crossed the Mississippi river and went to the Rocky Moun-
tains, taking their effects — farming implements, seeds,
grain, provisions, bedding for themselves and family in one
wagon, drawn by an ox team. While camping on the banks
of the Missouri river in a tent, with the weather so cold
as to freeze the river over, a son was born to them. After
a long and tiresome journey they reached the Salt Lake
Valley in September 1847. They at once set to work to
prepare the soil to grow their crops and to build a fort for
protection from the Indians. The land was very dry and
barren, and ditches had to be dug so as to irrigate the land
before any crops could be grown. The first year they suc-
ceeded in raising enough for seed, with a little to spare for
food. Provisions were very scarce, and they lived mostly
on roots and wild fowls. The second year after they had
planted their crops, millions of crickets came and the
prospect was that they would destroy everything, but the
gulls flew in flocks from the lake every day and devoured
the crickets, and thus a part of the crop was saved and the
people delivered from starvation.

Samuel Bringhurst, being a mechanic, spent most of
his time in making grain cradles, stocking plows and re-
pairing wagons. In the spring of 1850 he went two hundred
miles south of Salt Lake City and established another
colony, after which he returned to Salt Lake City and con-
tinued at his trade. As one of the first settlers of Salt Lake
Valley he did a great deal to build up and improve the
country, which in fifty-two years has increased in popula-
tion to about 300,000. Children: 1. William; 2. Anna;

Bishop William A. Bringhurst was born at Lionville,
Chester Co., Pa., Jan. 26, 1839, Removed with his parents
to the city of Nauvoo in the State of Illinois, in the year
1845, they having become members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints previous to moving west. In
1847 the family, consisting of father, mother and three
children, crossed the plains, ti-aveling one thousand miles
to Salt Lake Valley in a wagon drawn by three yokes of
cattle, the trip lasting all summer. They arrived in the
valley in September of that year, having endured many
hardships and privations consequent upon such a journey.

country in common with the community, endured many
privations and hardships caused by scarcity of food and

clothing; starvation stared them in the face, but through
the mercy of the Lord they were preserved. During his
boyhood days his time was spent herding cattle in the
summer and attending school in the winter. His chances
for obtaining an education were limited, having to labor
almost continuously for the support of the family. At the
age of sixteen he entered his father's shop and learned the
wheelwright trade. In the spring of 1862 he entered the
service of the United States as a volunteer, when a call was
made by President Lincoln upon Governor Young for a
company of volunteers to suppress Indian troubles east of
Salt Lake, in which service he continued until the com-
pany was disbanded on the 9th of August, 1862. Early in
life he was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, by Apostle John Taylor. In
the spring of 1866 he removed from Salt Lake City to
Toquerville, Utah, a distance of 300 miles, and engaged in
the mercantile business, which he still follows. On the
15th of February, 1874, he was ordained to the office of
bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
which office he continues to hold, presiding in the town of
Toquerville. Considerable of his life has been spent upon
the frontier, where continual vigilance was the price of
safety from hostile bands of Indians.

She was b. Nov. 1, 1788 ; d. May 13, 1852. He settled on a
farm near Pughtown, Chester Co., where he remained until
early in the twenties. Owing to the depreciation in the
value of farm properties during the stringent times of 1820
to 1825 his property was sold, and he became landlord of
the Black Bear hotel at Paoli. He removed from there
about 1830 to the hotel and quarries at Howellville, Chester
Valley. It was here while superintending a blasting opera-
tion that, owing to a premature explosion, a rock fell upon
him and crushed his right leg below the knee, resulting in

now occupied by the freight depot of the Pennsylvania R. R.
This stand was widely and favorably known to the farmers
and market men of the adjacent counties, who were ac-

the Philadelphia markets. He continued in this business
until a few years before his death, when he was succeeded

weight in proportion. He and his wife were adherents of

Daniel B. Beitler came to Philadelphia when a young
man. He received a common school education in Chester
county. His father's family was a large one and early in
life he was compelled to assist his father in maintaining the
family. While yet a boy he drove a six-horse team across
the mountains to Pittsburg.
After locating in Philadelphia he engaged in the feed
business and then in the livery stable business. In 1860
he had three large stables, all in the Ninth Ward. He sold
out his stables to take charge of the hotel which his father
had conducted for years. This was the New Market Inn on
Market street, above 16th street, a celebrated old-fashioned
farmers' inn, which Daniel B. Beitler continued to run until
the time of his death. It was frequented by the farmers of
1

Chester, Montgomery, Bucks and Delaware counties. Dur-
ing the meetings of the Friends its capacity was taxed to
the utmost, the inn being the headquarters of the Friends
from the rural sections. Attached to the inn were extensive
stables and on Market days from forty to seventy-five
horses were accommodated. In those days the farmers
hauled their produce to market.
Early in life Daniel B. Beitler took a deep interest in
politics. He was an ardent Republican. He was too old
and not physically able to take part in the war of the
Bebellion, but he became an active member of the Union
League when that patriotic organization was formed, and
gave valuable assistance in recruiting and equipping the
various regiments sent to the front by it. His wife's sister
w^as a volunteer nurse at the Cherry Street Hospital, which
was located at Broad and Cherry streets, where wounded
soldiers were cared for. His wife gave such assistance as
her household duties permitted, but the resources of her
kitchen and the services of her cooks were always at the
command of her sister. Daniel B. Beitler was ever ready
to assist the soldier boys, and many a large pot of coffee
and many a ham and hundreds of loaves of bread found
their way from his kitchen to the rendezvous of recruits in
the neighborhood.
On June 1, 1861, he was appointed by President Lincoln
an inspector in the Custom Service and he filled this posi-
tion to the time of his death, except during President John-
son's term. He was a delegate to the National Republican
Convention which placed General Garfield in nomination.
He was for several terms a member of the Republican State
Committee and for many years chairman of the Ninth Ward
Republican Executive Committee. He was a great lover of
sport with rod and gun and an ardent admirer of horses.
For several years he owned the celebrated stallion " Brower
Eclipse," whose colts were regarded as the finest in Del-
aware and Chester counties. He always drove a pair of
them and in the winter delighted to make trips to his
relatives in Chester county. He drove his pair of bays and
always took one or more of his children with him. He met

a hearty welcome everywhere, whether he visited his rela-
tives or those who enjoyed his hospitality at his inn. He
died in 1881 at the age of sixty-seven years. He had never
accumulated a fortune, but he left his children the record
of a blameless life and no man ever speaks of Daniel B.
Beitler but in words of praise. His heart was tender, he
was the friend of the needy and the oppressed, he strove to
do his duty as a father, a husband, a friend, a neighbor and
a citizen. He was known to his friends politically and so-
cially and to every man, woman and boy in the old Ninth
Ward as " Uncle Dan " and this term was used as a term of
endearment. His portrait appears in this volume. Meth.

Stuart Patterson. He was admitted to the bar in January
1875. In 1877 he was appointed an assistant to the City
Solicitor. He continued in the law department of the City
of Philadelphia, advancing by gradual promotions until
1888, he reached the position of first assistant to the then
City Solicitor Charles F. Warwick, now Mayor of the
city. He took part in many of the most important cases
involving the city's interest during the many years he
served as the city's counsel. On Oct. 1, 1891, he accepted
of Mayor Edwin S. Stuart the position of Director of the
Department of Public Safety, and he ably and acceptably
filled this place until appointed by Governor Hastings in
February 1896 to the vacancy in the Court of Common Pleas
No. 1, caused by the death of Judge Allison. In the follow
ing summer he was unanimously nominated for the full
term of ten years by both the Democratic and Republican
conventions and received at the polls every vote cast, the
official count showing that he had received 228,311 votes —
more than were cast for any of his colleagues on the ticket.

Chester Co., in 1835, and in 1847 moved with his family to
West Philadelphia, where he engaged in carriage and
wagon building. To the latter branch of the business he
gave his attention mostly and was successful in building
up a first-class trade. In 1879 he received a bronze medal
from the Agricultural and Industrial Society of Delaware
county for the best specimen of a milk wagon, and another

Major Garner graduated from the Philadelphia High
School in 1858, and shortly afterwards became connected
with the dry goods commission business in that city.
In 1862 he enlisted as a private soldier in the Fifteenth
Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, and served
until the close of the war in the department of the Cumber-
land and the military division of the Mississippi under
Generals Rosencrans, Thomas, Grant and Sherman. The

fact that he was successively promoted to the offices of first
sergeant, captain and major of his regiment is sufficient
testimony as to the quality of his service to the country.
After the close of the war he was for some two years
engaged in commercial analysis and metallurgy in Philadel-
phia, and in 1867 went to South America in connection with
the gold mining operations of Venezuela in Guiana in that
portion of the country which recently caused the territorial
dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain, and came so
near to involving this country in a war with the latter
country during Mr. Cleveland's administration. In 1869 he
returned to the United States, and in the following year
entered the railway service in the construction of the Kan-
sas-Pacific Railway from Carson to Denver, Colorado. He
remained with that company until 1875, when he was ap-
pointed general superintendent of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Railway at Sedalia, Mo. In 1880 he became purchas-
ing agent of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway at Denver,
and retained this position until offered a position with
Murphy & Co., varnish makers, whose services he entered
in January 1884. With this company he is still identified,
representing it in the membership of the New York Paint,
Oil and Varnish Club, of which organization he has twice
been president. In October 1897, Major Garner was elected
president of the National Paint, Oil and Varnish Associa-
tion, and he is one of the most highly respected and most
popular gentlemen connected with the association. He
is also a member of the New York Commandery Military
Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. Baptists.

ward on business, stopping at the principal cities on the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers until he reached New Orleans,
in which city he was prosecuting his business when the war
of the Rebellion broke out in 1861. Believing it would be
profitable for him to remain he continued there in business
until by force of circumstances he was compelled to enlist
in the Louisiana State militia for three months service in
the borders of the State, at the termination of which he
expected to resume business. In this, however, he was
disappointed, for at the end of their enlistment the militia-
men were transferred, " nolens volens," into the regular
Confederate army and pushed to the front in time to par-
ticipate in the battle of Corinth or Pittsburg Landing.
After this battle he was changed to the trans-Mississippi
department and to the artillery service, where he took part
in all the battles of the famous Red River and other cam-
paigns under the rebel General Zachary Taylor. The close
of the war found him very much broken in health. He
resumed business in New Orleans, but in 1868 he was com-
pelled by severe hemorrhages of his lungs to quit business
and hasten north. Upon reaching Philadelphia his health
rallied. He became associated with his father in the wagon
business and continued until 1876, when with broken health
he was ordered by his physician to Florida, where in a few
weeks he died, on March 14, in the town of Palatka. His
remains were brought home and interred in the family plot
at Mount Moriah cemetery. At the time of his death he was
a member of Mantua Baptist church of West Philadelphia.

dry goods establishment of L. J. Levy & Co., at that time
the largest and most fashionable store in the city. In 1858
he was converted and united with the First Baptist church,
(West) Philadelphia, now the Epiphany. In the fall of 1859
he went to Lewisburg, Pa., to enter upon a course of study
preparatory to entering the ministery. He was graduated

University, and received the degre of "A. B." In 1867 he
completed a course in theology at the same institution, and
also received the degree of 'A. M." from the college. Dur-
ing his course of studies, which was contemporary with the
Civil war, from 1861 to 1865, he responded twice to the call
of the President for emergency troops, and enlisted first in
September 1862 in a regiment of militia raised in Philadel-
phia for service during the Antietam campaign. The regi-
ment was sent to Wilmington, Delaware, and guarded
Dupont's powder mill until after the battle, when the troops
were returned and the regiment disbanded. Again in June
1863, at the call of the President for troops during the Get-
tysburg campaign, in company with the students at Lewis-
burg, who volunteered as a body and were organized at
Harrisburg, Pa., into Co. A, 28th Regt., Pennsylvania militia,
Col. James Chamberlain in command, and were duly sworn
into the United States service during the emergency. From
this service he received an honorable discharge, dated July
27, 1863, at Harrisburg, Pa. Aug. 2, 1864, he was appointed
a delegate of the United States Christian Commission and
was sent to the hospitals at Fort Monroe and City Point,
Va., where for six weeks he did duty ministering to the sick
and wounded soldiers. In September 1867 he was ordained
to the gospel ministry and became pastor of the First Bap-
tist church of Honesdale, Wayne Co., Pa. On Sept. 1, 1871,
he resigned the pastorate of the church and entered upon
missionary work in the county for the Wayne Baptist Asso-
ciation. This relation was terminated Aug. 1, 1872. He
then became associated with the firm of Smith, English &
Co., theological book publishers, at 710 Arch street, Phila-
delphia. He remained here until Aug. 1, 1878, when he
accepted the call to the Calvary Baptist church of Hope-
well, New Jersey. He resigned this connection in Septem-
ber 1882 to assume charge of the theological publishing
and book business at 710 Arch St., Philadelphia. The busi-
ness was closed out in November 1886, when he was called
to the pastorate of the Great Valley Baptist church, Chester
Co., Pa. He entered upon his duties Jan. 1, 1887, and served
the church until Apr. 1, 1893. For the three following

months he represented the Pennsylvania Baptist Educa-
tional Society among the churches in the northeastern part
of the State. On Oct. 1, 1893, he became identified with the
mission enterprise of the Memorial Baptist church of Phila-
delphia. The mission was located at 18th and York streets
and is now the Bethlehem Baptist church. He labored with
this interest until Dec. 1, 1895, when he was called to the
pastorate of the First Baptist church, Downingtown, Pa.,
which relation he continued to hold until April 1, 1900,
when he retired from the pastorate, and was appointed
field secretary of the society for providing religious litera-
ture for the blind, headquarters in Philadelphia. He re-
signed his connection with this society on April 1, 1902,
and became pastor of the Cold Point Baptist church of
Montgomery Co., Pa., which relation continues to the pres-
ent time. Mr. Garner was married on Mar. 12, 1868, to Miss
Annie L. Evans, daughter of David and Mary Rowland
Evans, formerly of New Britain, Bucks Co., Pa., then of
Lewisburg, Pa. Miss Evans was born at New Britain on

Philadelphia in 1858 and received appointment as a teacher
in the fall of the same year. In 1859 she became an
assistant teacher in the Newton Girls' Grammar School and
continued there until 1869, when she resigned to assume
the principalship of the Belmont Girls' Grammar School,
which was just organized. Early in 1873 she resigned her
position to assume duties at home. At this time, under date
of Feb. 24, 1873, she received from the school board of the
24th section of Philadelphia the following testimonial:
" Whereas, Miss Mary F. Garner, principal of the Bel-
mont Girls' Grammar School, is about to retire from the
position she has so ably filled for the last four years, and as
we feel we cannot part from her without acknowledging
in the highest terms our appreciation of her labors among
us; therefore, be it
" Resolved, That the thanks of the board are due and
are hereby tendered to Miss Mary F. Garner for the able
and efficient manner in which she has conducted and ad-
vanced the interests of the Belmont Grammar School from
its opening to the present time.
" That in our judgment it is to her energy and zealous
discharge of duty that said school owes its present high
position in the estimation of the board of public education
and the citizens of this section.
" That we extend to her the acknowledgment of our
appreciation of her abilities as a teacher and her character
as a lady; and that we sincerely hope that her future career
may be as prosperous and happy as her past has been use-
ful and successful."
Miss Gamer was reappointed to this position in 1875
and continued a most important factor in the further
development of the usefulness of the school until in 1883,
when she resigned to take charge of the Levering Con-
244 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
solidated Grammar School of Roxborough, Philadelphia. In
closing her duties at this time she received the following
token of esteem from the board of directors:
"At a meeting of the board of directors of the 24th
section held June 25, 1883, the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
" Whereas, Miss Mary F. Garner has resigned the prin-
cipalship of the Belmont Grammar School for Girls to as-
sume the duties of principal of the Levering Consolidated
School, 21st section; therefore, be it
" Resolved, That it is with deep and sincere regret that
we accept her resignation, and that in parting with her we
lose a lady of refinement and culture, eminently fitted for
the elevated position she has held for so many years.
" Resolved, That we feel that she has been faithful in
the discharge of the many and arduous duties committed
to her care, and that our best wishes accompany her in her
new field of labor.
"Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be tendered
her as an expression of our appreciation of her ability and
valuable services."
Miss Garner entered upon her new position with
marked zeal and energy and was most successful in raising
the standard of the school and in promoting its eflaciency
and usefulness.
In the spring of 1886 she passed a successful examina-
tion for a supervising principalship, but her state of health
prevented her from accepting a position.
On October 1st of the same year, owing to marked in-
dications of failing health, she was compelled to resign
from her school duties at Roxborough, very much to the
regret of her associates and the board of directors. She
immediately repaired to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where
for three years she sought to recuperate her declining
energies. In the summer of 1889 she returned to Philadel-
phia, where the struggle for life continued until Nov. 10,
1892, when she received her promotion to the Higher School
beyond.

She became a member of the First Baptist church of
West Philadelphia (now the Epiphany) in 1859, under the
ministry of the Rev, J. Harvard Castle, D. D. For a num-
ber of years she was active as a Sunday school teacher, in
which sphere she labored with characteristic zeal and
devotion. In the year 1875 she united with the Mantua
Baptist church, the Rev. J. G. Walker, D. D., pastor, and in
1883 was made associate superintendent of the Sunday
school. At the time of her death she was an esteemed
member of the Roxborough Baptist church, of which the
Rev. J. E. Wilmarth, D. D., was pastor. This sketch gives
an adequate estimate of this noble Christian character,
which for more than twenty-five years made its impress for
good upon the lives of scores and hundreds of the youths
of Philadelphia, who came under her instruction and her
example. S.

David Beitler moved to Philadelphia when a young
man. He was a man of fine physique, of very pleasant man-
ners and of more than ordinary capacity. On the 4th of
May, 1858, he was elected an alderman in the Ninth Ward.
The next month he was appointed committing magistrate
at the Central station by Mayor Henry. He was continued
in that position under Mayor Henry and under Mayor
McMichael until the expiration of the latter's term in 1869.
Mayor Fox, a Democrat, then came into office. Alderman
Beitler was a Republican of exceedingly strong political
bias and while he never allowed politics to control the dis-
charge of his official duties he refused to serve under a
Democratic mayor. In 1872 William S. Stokley was elected
on the Republican ticket and he at once reappointed Alder
man Beitler as committing magistrate. The committing
magistrate is the representative of the mayor in the dis-
charge of judicial duty at the Central police court. His
duties are onerous and responsible. Alderman Beitler was
recognized as one of the best committing magistrates Phila-
delphia ever had. He served under every Republican nayor
from the time of his election as alderman in 1858 undil the
time of his death. He died in commission, havin5 been
elected and re-elected by the people of his wa.*d con-
tinuously from 1858 to 1875. He was elected, too, ir a ward
in which the political parties were very evening divided,
but his vote was always far in excess of that of lis ticket.
His judgment was so good and his knowledge of ihe law so
much respected and valued that the leading lawyers in the
city took to his court their important cases.
He was a member of the Union League, taving joined
that patriotic organization at its foundation. He was a
father kind and indulgent, as a friend steadfast, generous
and true, and as an official fearless, intelligeat and upright.
He died beloved by his family id friends aAd respected by

Eleanor Beitler Lewis was the belle of the neighbor-
liood, and at the time of her marriage her father presented
her with $1,000 and a chaise. The following was published
in the West Chester newspaper, Apr. 1841: "Died in East
Nantmeal, on the evening of the 26th ult., Eleanor, consort
of Jesse E. Philips, in the twenty-sixth year of her age."
"In recurring to the death of this amiable and interesting
young woman, the mind is burdened with more than an
ordinary degree of sorrow. To look at the transition we are
about to record, strongly admonishes us that she was but
mortal, the inhabitant of sublunary tenement, hastily va-
cated and abandoned to the consuming caprice of progress-
ive time. But while we are conscious she was but a
creature of the dust, the responsible sphere she seemed
called to occupy in life gave a delusive promise that she
would long be permitted to remain an inmate of the earthly
tabernacle. The mother of two children, the elder just ap-
proaching that age in life when the maternal precepts and
example point with a vivid and enduring effect to the future
destiny of the child, the other but an infant, requiring all
the solicitude and tenderness of an anxious mother to
nourish and rescue from the paralyzing hand of disease.
While she will be greatly lamented because of the helpless
situation of her babes, her loss will be felt by the rising
and adult world, for that modest benignity that character-
ized her whole life. To her aflSlcted companion her demise
was a source of unmitigated sorrow, which nevertheless
254 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
was submitted to with decent forbearance and pious resig-
nation. To her various relations and acquaintances at large
her transmutation will be sensibly felt and painfully ap-
preciated. But while the soul is in anguish for the loss
of our valued friend, it might be profitable to remember
that the decree was conceived by Infinite Wisdom and
executed by the arm of Omnipotence, and that the hand
that was never slow to administer at the shrine of hu-
manity, has ceased to perform its errand of mercy only
that the spirit that prompted it might hasten to a full
fruition of that celestial joy that a perfect faith in the
saving power of a crucified Redeemer and a devout and
Christian life, had ensured for her a ' joy unspeakable and
full of glory'."
She was reconciled to God through Jesus Christ and
had a blessed hope of an acceptance in heaven. Her last
words were: "Sweet Jesus! Dear Lord, take me home
quick! "
Jesse Evans Philips was treasurer of Chester Co., Pa.,
in 1874. He was proprietor and conductor of Fremont
Academy at his home in East Nantmeal from 1847 to 1858.
He was also a surveyor and employed by the government to
do such work in the South. Was one of the three Philips
brothers who have for upwards of fifty years officiated con-
secutively as clerks for East Nantmeal Baptist Church. He
was also a justice of the peace in East Nantmeal.
He was a lineal descendant of Joseph Philips, bom in
Wales in 1716 at Pembrokeshire. In 1755 he sailed for
America from the seaport town of Pembroke, accompanied
by his wife, Mary, b. 1710, and their three sons, David, John
and Josiah. The youngest son, Joseph, was born in this
country. At the time of the Revolution these four sons
took the side of the Colonies and commanded the 7th bat-
talion, 2d company, Chester county militia, as follows:
Captain, David Philips; first lieutenant, John Philips;
second lieutenant, Josiah Philips; ensign, Joseph Philips.
Commissioned May 5, 1777.

Pembroke, Wales. Rev. Owen Thomas came to America
and was the fourth pastor of the Welsh Tract in New
Castle Co. He removed to Vincent in May 1748, and died
there in 1760. He had two sons, one of whom, David (the
father of Sarah), was a captain in the French and Indian
war. The marble slab over the remains of Rev. Owen
Thomas in the Vincent burial-ground contains the following
inscription:
" Here lies the body of the Rev. Owen Thomas, who
departed this life Nov. 12, 1760, in the 69th year of his age.
" In yonder house I spent my breath,
"And now lie slumbering here in death;
" Those lips shall wake, and then declare,
"Amen! to truths they published there."
* His paternal grandparents are Nicholas Guilbert, a
native of Guernsey, and Charlotte Marsh Guilbert, a native
of England, both coming to America in their youth and
residing since in Philadelphia.

(born about 1750, died 1781) and Annie Lederach.
II. — 6. Jacob Beidler, b. about 1750; d. 1781; mrd.
Annie Lederach.
Jacob Beidler was a farmer and lived in Hilltown Twp.,
Bucks Co., Pa., about a mile west of Dublin, on the farm
now owned and occupied by Abraham C. Moyer. A part of
the old homestead, on which is now a saw and chopping
mill, is owned by Jacob B. Rosenberger of Dublin. The
farm owned by Jacob Beidler contained 97 acres and 155
perches. The old house stood in the meadow, a little below
the site of the present dwelling.
Jacob Beidler died before his children were grown up,
and in his will appointed Henry Overholtzer and Henry
Rickert as guardians of his children. He directed in his
will that his children should be sent to school and well
educated, and his sons when they arrive at proper age be
"put to trades." He and wife were members of the Menno-
nite church at Blooming Glen, and are buried there. He
made his will in writing, Oct. 5, 1780, which was probated
Mar. 26, 1781. His will reads as follows, viz.:
In the name of God, Amen. I, Jacob Beitler, of the
Township of Hilltown, in the County of Bucks, Yeoman,
being weak of Body, but of sound Mind and Memory, Do
this fifth Day, October, in the year of our Lord one thousand
seven hundred and eighty, make and publish this my Last
Will and Testament in Manner and Form following (that is
to say) : Imprimis, I commend my Soul into the Hands of
Almighty God who gave it me, and my Body to the Earth
from whence it came, in Hope of a joyful Resurrection
through the Merrits of my Saviour Jesus Christ; And as for
288 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
the worldly Estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless
me, I dispose thereof in the following manner: First, I give
unto my beloved Wife, Anne Beidler, our Bed and Bedstead,
with all the Furniture thereunto belonging, and a Chest
with all the linnen in it, and all the Wares on the kitchen
Shelves, one Iron Pot and one Milch Cow to chuse which
she pleases, and of my Wheat and Rye and so much as will
be suflacient for Bread for her for one year; Item — It is my
Will that my Executors hereinafter named shall as soon as
conveniently may be after my Decease sell all the Re-
mainder of my Goods and Chattels, and pay my Debts, and
one-third Part of the remaining Money unto my Wife, Anne
Beidler; Item — I do hereby order my hereinafter named
Executors or the Survivers of them to grant, bargain and
sell my Tract of land situated in the township of Hilltown
aforesaid, containing ninety-seven Acres and one hundred
and fifty-five Perches, which said Tract of Land I have
purchased of Jacob Kolb and Henry Rickert and paid the
whole of the purchase Money unto them, but have not
received an actual Conveyance from them for the same.
Therefore it is my Will and I do hereby give full Power and
Authority unto the said Jacob Kolb and Henry Rickert to
make and execute a lawful and sufficient Deed, Title or
Conveyance to the Purchaser of the same in Fee simple.
And the Money arising from the Sale thereof I dispose
thereof as follows, viz.: the Sum of one hundred Pounds
thereof I give to my Wife, Anne Beidler. And the Re-
mainder thereof and the remaining two Thirds of the Money
from my personal Estate I give and order to be equally
divided to my Sons Henry and Jacob and my Daughter
Anne, share and share alike. And farther it is my Will that
my Children shall be sent to School and well educated,
and my sons I order when they respectively come to proper
ages shall be put to Trades. And I do hereby nominate and
appoint my Friends, Henry Overholtzer and Henry Rickert,
to be Executors of this my Last Will and Testament and
Guardians of my Children until they respectively come to
their lawful ages. Item — It is my Will that if any of my
Children should happen to die under lawful ages, leaving no

lawful issue, that his or her share shall be equally divided
between my surviving Children. In Witness whereof, I, the
said Jacob Beidler, have to this my Last Will and Testa-
ment set my Hand and seal on the Day and year first above
written.

was b. at Geddes, N. Y., Nov. 29, 1831; d. Oct. 2, 1886, aged
fifty-four years, ten months, four days. Henry Beidler
passed his boyhood and early manhood on the farm, re-
ceiving a good common school education and laying the
foundation of his financial success. It was here that he
earned his first thousand dollars, a fact to which he pointed
with pardonable pride. In the spring of 1843, attracted by
the superior inducements offered in the West to young
men of enterprise and thrift, he removed to the then
sparsely settled State of Illinois, and located at Springfield
in the grocery trade. After five years of success in this
business, he, in 1848, removed to Chicago, and engaged in
the lumber business in partnership with his brother, Jacob
Beidler, who was then in business there. In 1855 Mr.
Beidler went to Muskegon, Mich., and took charge of the
manufacturing branch of the business there, his brother
continuing in charge of the Chicago branch. The business
rapidly increased, and, under his careful management,
brought to its promoters large returns, so that in 1876 the
subject of this sketch was enabled to retire from active
participation in the business, with an ample competence.
At that time he returned to Chicago, where he made his
residence permanent, and retained an interest in the busi-
ness for several years, when the firm was dissolved by
mutual consent.

306 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
After retiring from active business, Mr. Beidler spent
much of his time in travel throughout all parts of his
native land, and also visited some foreign lands. During
his travels he collected a great variety of curiosities, con-
sisting of rare shells, precious stones, etc., which he
preserved in a handsome cabinet at his home. Throughout
his life Mr. Beidler was known for his business in-
tegrity and firm adherence to the strict principles of justice
and equity, so that wherever known, his word was regarded
as good as his bond. He was a man of generous impulses,
cheerful, genial, benevolent and charitable.
His political sentiments were Republican, though he
never took any part in political matters, more than to per-
form his duties as a citizen. Mr. Beidler held broad and
liberal views on religious questions, and, with his family,
was identified with the "People's Church," under the
pastoral care of H. W. Thomas, D. D.
Mrs. Beidler was a woman of many noble qualities, a
fond and devoted wife and mother, and by her kindness and
goodness of heart, her charities, and purity of life, endeared
herself to a large circle of friends. One child: 1. Herbert.
V. — 1. Herbert Alpine Beidler, b. in Chicago, 111., Aug.
22, 1861; mrd. Ida Louisa Merriman, Jan. 20, 1887. He
went with his parents to Muskegon, Mich., where they
resided until the fall of 1876, when the family returned to
Chicago, and where he has resided ever since, until the last
few years, which have been spent at Williams Bay, Wal-
worth Co., Wis. Mr. Beidler was educated in the public
schools at Muskegon, Mich., and Chicago, 111., graduating
from the High School of Chicago. He then went to
Greylock Institute, So. Williamstown, Mass. After that he
finished his education at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.
He then spent about three months in travel in the West,
going as far as the Pacific Coast. On his return from the
West, he began work as draughtsman in a manufacturing
concern, and finally became vice-president bf the same
company. Later this company dissolved and a new one
was formed in the same line of business. He became
JACOB BEIDLER, 1750—1781. 307
president of this company, and so continued until he sold
out in 1895, since which time he has not been in any active
business. No children.

Dr. Reuben High Andrews, only child of Aaron and
Barbara Andrews, was born in Hilltown Twp., Bucks Co.,
Pa., Jan. 20, 1850. His father was for some years a " boss "
carpenter and later on purchased a small tract of land along
a creek in Hilltown township, near the site of an old saw-
mill, about a mile west of Dublin. Here he erected a dwell-
ing and a grist mill; the family living there until the
father died.
After the death of his father, Reuben went to live with
his Grandfather Andrews, in Marlborough township, Mont-
gomery county, but in less than two years his grandfather
also died, and his mother about this time was married again,
to Henry S. Krout, a farmer of Bedminster Twp., Bucks Co.
There Reuben worked on the farm, attending the district
school during the winter months. When about eighteen
years of age he went for a short time to a school, then
known as the Excelsior Normal Institute, at Carversville,
with the object of preparing for teaching. He taught his
first term of public school at what was then known as Upper
Sellersville School. After this he attended for a term the
Keystone State Normal School, at Kutztown. This was
310 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
followed by another term of teaching, this time his own
district school in Bedminster township. About the same
time he commenced to study medicine under the tutorship
of the family physician, Dr. Moses Rice, of Hagersville.
While Mr. Andrews was a substitute teacher in New Britain
township, Dr. Rice was taken ill and died. Afterwards he
studied with Dr. J. H. Krause, of Plumsteadville. Having
entered the medical department of the University of Penn-
sylvania, he graduated in the spring of 1874, and at once
entered upon the duties of his chosen profession at Kulps-
ville, Montgomery county, where he soon gained a liberal
patronage. In the fall of 1875 he married Mary M., daughter
of Nathan Beidler, of Bedminster, Bucks county. In the
spring of 1876 he moved to Lansdale, Montgomery county,
where he purchased a lot and erected a dwelling. While
here engaged in the active duties of his profession, he con-
ceived the idea of publishing a monthly medical journal,
" The Medical Summary," the first number of which was
issued in March 1879. In the early part of 1881 he bought
a half interest in the local weekly newspaper, " The Lans-
dale Reporter," and during the same year erected a building
on Main street, as a home and ofiice for the newspaper and
printing establishment.
In the spring of 1884, on account of failing health and
rapidly increasing duties professionally and with the medi-
cal journal, he sold his practice and dwelling to Dr. Samuel
Seese. He at once bought a property in Philadelphia, where
he moved and lived for a year, when he sold it and moved
back to Lansdale, having before purchased a lot adjoining
his former home, and on this lot he now built one of the
finest residences in that section at the time. About the
same time he purchased the other half interest in the
Reporter and printing business, which business was con-
ducted by himself for about a year, when he sold it. Shortly
afterward he again moved to Philadelphia, where he since
devotes almost his entire time to the medical journal, doing
only a select practice. A few years ago he purchased No.
2321 Park Ave., where he now resides. For the past nine
years no edition of the Medical Summary has been less than
JACOB BEIDLER, 1750—1781. 311
10,000 copies. It is a national journal and circulates in
every section of the country.
Never seeking public office, he was, however, elected a
member of Lansdale Borough Council for three consecutive
terms, being chosen president of that body for two terms.
At the time of his removal to Philadelphia he was a member
of the School Board. Baptists. Children: 1. Lotta; 2.

JACOB BEIDLER.
(See page 313.)
JACOB BEIDLBR, 1750—1781. 313
IV. — 6. Jacob Beidler was born in Bedminster Twp.,
Bucks Co., Pa., Dec. 20, 1815. Brought up on a farm among
a people with whom frugality, unceasing industry and thrift
were foundation principles, little time that could be utilized
for working was allowed to be otherwise occupied.
In winter the children attended the country school,
running home quickly when the sessions ended to look after
the animals and do the chores, but in the summer months
there was no school. The children were then needed to
help on the farm. At one time, the children of the neigh-
borhood were sent to Sunday school, but the rumor that a
Sunday school advocate was about to introduce a bill in
the legislature to compel attendance, excited a feeling of
opposition to Sunday schools and the children were kept
at home, going to Mennonite meeting in the morning, but
otherwise having no religious exercises. Few books were
found in the home, but a newspaper came weekly, being
taken jointly with another family in the neighborhood.
Hospitality in certain forms was universal. Not to be
able to furnish a bountiful meal on short notice to a
wagonload of unexpected guests would have been a con-
fession of incapability on the part of any housekeeper.
With chickens in the barnyard, rows of pies in the spring-
house or cellar, jelly and preserves in the storeroom, milk
and eggs at their disposal, guests and hostess working
together would soon provide a feast. Even to peddlers and
tramps the region was known as a section where they
would be well housed and well fed.
As the father was farmer, carpenter, cabinetmaker,
legal adviser for neighbors and, on a small scale, capitalist,
there could easily be found enough work to keep the chil-
dren of the family busy. That each boy should be given a
trade was a principle of the fathers, and Jacob Beidler
learned to be a carpenter. The story of a good sized farm
house built by him and his cousin, hewed from the trees,
painted and made complete for $115 and board, was one of
the favorite tales, in later years, of the builder.
One winter, after having worked during the summer
months, feeling the need of more education, he entered a
314 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
boarding school, but the sudden change from active outdoor
life to quiet indoor occupation did not agree with him and
he had to leave school, to be doctored at home.
The stories of the great West, however, penetrated
into this secluded place and Jacob Beidler decided in 1842
to try his fortune in a new country. Going to Pittsburg he
took the boat down the Ohio river to Cairo. From there he
went to St. Louis and on to Springfield, 111.
With rigid ideas of morality, fixed habits of calculating
frugality, accustomed to hard work and application to tasks
on hand, this tall, bony, rosy cheeked young countryman
started out to see if his dream of worldly success — to be
some time worth $20,000 — could be made real to him in this
Western State. He felt that he was ignorant, felt that
strangers would think him unsophisticated, but the
strenuous life which was the common lot of all his asso-
ciates had prepared him to maintain his own, even though
he should be the subject of comment and laughter.
In Springfield he at first worked at his trade and then
embarked in the grocery business. In the spring of 1844 he
went East, and was married, April 22, to Miss Mary Ann
Funk. She was the daughter of Jacob and Margaret Halde-
man Funk and was born in Hilltown Twp., Bucks Co., Pa.,
Oct. 5, 1821. When about seven years of age she and her
younger sister Catharine were left motherless. Later the
father married again and a family of little children came
to fill the home. In helping to care for them she had much
to do. At that time a short period of schooling was thought
to be sufficient for a girl. Only reading, writing, arithmetic
and sewing were taught. Domestic science, though not
bearing then so pretentious a name, knitting and spinning
were taught and practiced at home. This young wife was
well fitted to bear her share in the work of the home and
returned with her husband to begin her married life among
strangers in Springfield, 111. But within a few months the
desire of her husband to go to Chicago had settled into a
determination, and in the fall of 1844, after packing their
personal possessions, including the household linen, of
which every well-endowed Bucks county maiden had a
JACOB BEIDLER, 1750—1781. 315
goodly store, the young couple started on the trying trip
from Springfield to Chicago. A rainy season had made the
roads so bad that again and again the team had to be
extricated from the mud and the wife was in despair lest
the new venture would be ended by death on the prairies.
But after days of discouragement the city of Chicago was
reached, and Jacob Beidler found employment as a car-
penter, working for Van Osdel Bros. & Thorp, A little
home was established, where the hard working, careful
housewife early and late worked and planned to make every
dollar that came in, go as far as possible in providing for
present absolute necessities and in savings for future needs
or capital. The little fortune that she had brought with
her, as well as the capital that her husband had, were not
any too well invested, but to have encroached on either for
daily living would have been contrary to all rules and
habits, so labor and privation continued. Sickness and the
loss of two children as tiny infants told on the hopefulness
of the mother, but the restless energy of Jacob Beidler was
ever looking out for opportunities of bettering his fortune.
In 1845 a little carpenter shop was established in con-
nection with James McGee, under the firm name of Beidler
& McGee. In 1846 Mr. Beidler bought out his partner and
in 1847 opened a lumber yard at the northeast corner of
West Water and Randolph streets. In 1848 he was joined
by his brother Henry from Springfield, 111., and in 1850 the
shop connected with the lumber yard was sold out to
James Lyon.
In 1854 it was decided to manufacture lumber at
Muskegon, Mich., and Mr. A. F. Hathaway was admitted to
the firm, which became J. Beidler & Bro. & Co. Later an-
other brother, Aaron Beidler, was admitted, the firm name
continuing as before. In 1856 Aaron Beidler and A. F.
Hathaway retired and M. J. Brown and R. P. Eastman were
admitted. In 1860 they withdrew and the firm became
J. Beidler & Bro., Chicago, 111., and J. & H. Beidler,
Muskegon, Mich., under which name the business was con-
ducted until 1871, when the J. Beidler & Bro. Lumber Co.,
an Illinois corporation, for the Chicago business, with Jacob
316 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
Beidler president, M. F. Rittenhouse treasurer and A. F.
Beidler secretary, and the Beidler Manufacturing Co., a
Michigan corporation, for the Muskegon business, with
Henry Beidler president and J. D. Follmer secretary and
treasurer, were organized. The Beidler Manufacturing Co.
continued in business until 1886 and the J. Beidler & Bro.
Lumber Co. until April 1891.
In 1861 Mr. Beidler started John F. Funk and James
McMullen in the lumber business, under the firm name of
McMullen, Funk & Co. This firm continued until 1866.
In 1866 Jacob and Henry Beidler started B. L. Anderson
in the lumber business, under the firm name of B. L. Ander-
son & Co., and this firm was in business until May 1868.
In 1873 the South Branch Lumber Co. of Chicago, an
Illinois corporation, was organized, with Jacob Beidler
president, B. F. Ferguson treasurer, and Francis Beidler
secretary, and continued in business until May 1, 1893.
In May 1886 the Eastern Lumber Co., an Illinois cor-
poration, operating at Tonawanda, N. Y., was organized.
Jacob Beidler was president until his death.
Several Chicago business men, among whom were
Mr. Perry Hannah, Mr. John F. Funk, Mr. B. L. Anderson,
Mr. John Oliver, Mr. P. L. Auten and Mr. M. F. Rittenhouse,
have commenced their business careers in the employ of
Mr. Beidler, and in the success of these different young
men he always took great satisfaction, although claiming
from them no obligation except as he said, "good will which
we owe each other."
During these years, which, with a few exceptions, were
prosperous financially, several changes of residence had
been made. For a while they lived over the shop. Homes
on South Water and North Wells streets were followed in
1856 by one more to the outskirts of the West Side. A
house was purchased on Morgan street near Washington
street, and the next year a house that was very satisfactory
to Mrs. Beidler was built next door and into this the family
of four children was moved. In 1862 the parents and six
children moved into the Lind house on the northeast corner
JACOB BEIDLER. 1750—1781. 317
of Morgan and Washington streets, where the youngest
of the six sons was born in 1864.
The Third Presbyterian Church was in the neighbor-
hood of these homes, and Mr. Beidler, who had united with
the First Presbyterian Church some years before, grew
much interested in the Third Church. The large stone
edifice which the society built, left it deeply in debt and
in the struggle in which this involved them Mr. Beidler
under the pastorate of Rev. Arthur Swazey, D. D., with
three or four others, stood foremost in being ready to give
time, effort and money that the work and the credit of the
church might not sufCer. He believed that the same prin-
ciples of economy and honesty that govern creditable com-
mercial transactions should govern the financial manage-
ment of religious organizations. As treasurer of the
trustees h'e preferred to advance from his own means the
money needed to pay bills for running expenses rather than
leave the bills unpaid. When the Third Church in 1877
voted to sell the building and move further west, being
opposed to the plan, he changed to the Eighth Presbyterian
Church, then under the pastorate of Dr. J. M. Worrall,
and by his efforts and gifts helped to free it from debt. He
then directed his efforts in behalf of the Jefferson Park
Presbyterian Church, which was nearer his home and under
the charge of Dr. Francis L. Patton. Mr. Beidler and
his wife were members of this church and he a trustee at
the time of his death. He was interested in the Pres-
byterian Hospital and a trustee of Lake Forest University,
a chair in which he endowed. He gave his aid toward
providing a home for the Y. M. C. A. of the West Side and
toward the regular objects of church benevolence he was
always a contributor.
Though never active in politics, he entered the City
Council at the time of the Reform Ticket in 1876 and served
two terms. He belonged to the Republican party.
Building was ever his hobby, and in the large buildings
which he erected for manufacturing and warehouse pur-
poses on West Washington boulevard, he took great pride.
He moved in 1873 into the Gardner house on South
318 THE BEIDLER HISTORY.
Sangamon street. The family then consisted of six sons
and one daughter. Marriage and death entered the circle,
so that in March 1898, when he died, there were left in the
home but the wife and two unmarried sons. One son — John
— was drowned in 1881, and another son — William H. — had
died six months before his father. The married daughter
lived in a house built by her father on the homestead
grounds and two married sons resided in the city.
Though no sickness that could be called sickness
troubled the last years of Mr. Beidler's life, he ceased
his hold on business and an active life, and gradually
his memory grew dim. Perhaps he himself, although never
acknowledging the fact, was conscious of this, for he took
less and less part in conversation, lost his former sense of
mortification in being found asleep during the hours of the
day, and failed to recognize many whose faces had once
been familiar to him.
From Thursday morning, March 10, 1898, he remained
in bed, protesting at first against it to the nurse, who had
been his faithful attendant for six months. Two days later
he became unconscious and on Tuesday morning, March 15,
1898, at about 2 o'clock, the spirit took its flight.
On March 17th the body was laid in Rosehill Cemetery
in the lot where already his two sons and two grandsons
had been buried. The funeral services were conducted at
the house by the Rev. Frank DeWitt Talmage, pastor of
the Jefferson Park Presbyterian Church; Dr. D. C. Marquis,
of McCormick Theological Seminary, and Rev. J. G. K.
McClure, of Lake Forest University.
The old home was still kept up after the death of Mr.
Beidler, for Mrs. Beidler felt that no other house could be
home to her and with Mr. Beidler's former nurse as com-
panion and her two youngest sons, she lived there for
nearly two years, reluctantly as her strength failed
relinquishing little by little her close supervision of
domestic matters. She never realized the wish of her later
years to visit once again the scenes and friends of her early
days, for the infirmities of age prevented, but in the last
week of her life the names and incidents of long years
JACOB BEIDLER, 1750—1781. 319
before seemed to fill her mind. After less than a week's
confinement to bed, during the last days of which she was
unconscious, she passed away on Thursday, at 8 p. m.,
Jan. 25, 1900.
The oldest of a large family of children, a young wife
in a new country, the mother of a large family, the help-
meet of her husband in providing for the future of those
children, she led a busy life, full of work, care and anxiety.
No one knows as do those children how much of her hus-
band's financial success and home comfort were due to this
little woman whom strangers thought so frail. Children:

CHAPTER VIM.
Christian Beitler Branch. — Descendants of Christian Beitlep
(born 1754, died 1827) and Susanna Shelly.
II.— 7. Christian Beitler, b. Aug. 9, 1754; d. June 25,
1827; mrd. Susanna Shelly, daughter of Jacob Shelly. He
was a farmer and " sawmiller," and inherited the old Beitler
homestead in Lower Milford Twp., Bucks Co., Pa., from his
father, where he lived and died. The homestead consisted
of two messuages and two tracts of land in said township,
containing fifty acres, and seventy acres and 111 perches,
respectively, which Jacob Beitler had by articles of agree-
ment, dated May 1, 1801, agreed to convey to his son.
Christian Beitler, and by his will, dated May 2, 1801,
directed his executors therein named to convey to his son
Christian. In 1812 Christian Beitler purchased of Henry
Shelly a tract of three acres and fifty-seven perches adjoin-
ing. Christian Beitler died June 25, 1827, and letters of
administration on his estate were granted July 16, 1827, to
Henry Fretz, his son-in-law, the widow Susanna having
renounced.
April 28, 1828, Henry Fretz, of New Britain township,
petitioned for inquest of the above real estate. His petition
sets forth that Christian Beitler died intestate, survived by
a widow and three children: Elizabeth, wife of Henry
Fretz (the petitioner) ; Nancy, wife of Abraham Moyer,
and Mary Beitler.
The property, as returned by a recent survey, was
found to contain 132 acres and 80 perches. The heirs
neglecting to accept it at the valuation placed thereon
($37.50 per acre), it was sold after considerable delay, in
November 1829, to Abraham Moyer for $36.75 per acre. The
deed therefor from Henry Fretz, administrator of Christian
Beitler, deceased, to Abraham Moyer is dated Apr. 1, 1830,
