PREFACE.

A short account of the Rosenberger family was
prepared by Edward Mathews, of Lansdale, Pa.,
and published in a local paper in the beginning of
1888. This, however, pertained to only two branches
of the family in Hatfield.

A more extended account was written by Mr.
Mathews at the instigation of the publisher, I. R.
Haldeman, himself related to the family both by
birth and marriage, and which was published by him
in book form in 1892. The work, however, while
giving considerable valuable and interesting history
of the pioneers of the family, their emigration to
America, their settlement in Montgomery county,
accounts of the homesteads, occupations, religion,
and immediate descendants of these pioneers, it does
not give a complete history of the various lines or
branches of the families in genealogical form to the
present generation.

A more complete history of the family being
desired by some of the connections arrangements were
accordingly made to revise the work and compile a
complete history of the family to the present date and
generation. In the preparation of the work much
labor and research has been required. The official
records and registry of deeds and wills at Norristown,
Doylestown and Philadelphia have been searched,
various persons connected with the family by ties of
relationship interviewed, and a large correspondence

6 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

carried on with the entire connections in Montgomery
and Bucks counties and elsewhere in Pennsylvania,
the far West and Canada.

The work will be of more or less interest to the
public generally, but more especially to those bearing
the name of Rosenberger and their descendants.
The family of Rosenberger has been much extended
in Montgomery and adjacent counties, and also in
distant portions of the United States and Canada. In
presenting this volume the writer has endeavored to
give the history of the family together with other
matter of interest to the descendants that would
otherwise have been lost.

The author also acknowledges himself indebted
to the many friends for kind favors received during
the compilation of this work in the form of data, etc.
Among those who have furnished us with consider-
able data, to whom we express our sincere grati-
tude, are: David Rosenberger, of Hatfield, Pa.;
Enos L. Rosenberger. of Hiawatha, Kan.; Henry
H. Rosenberger, of Quakertown, Pa.; A. A. Delp,

gomery County"); Rev. Henry A. Hunsicker, ot

INTRODUCTION.

The present age is one distinctively of research.
There is an intellectual restlessness and curiousness
manifested which impels to a seeking of more knowl-
edge in all departments of human affairs. Some of
this activity is spent for practical ends, some for ends
not so plainly practical. The physicist and the
chemist in their labratories make discoveries that may
greatly affect industrial and economic problems. The
historian, groping his way through partly mutilated
records of the misty past, adds to the sum total of
human knowledge, but his labors may to a very
limited degree, if at all, affect human affairs at the
present time. Yet the labors of the latter in bringing
to light and putting on record what was in part or
altogether forgotten are not without interest and
value, although, as it may be, a value founded in
large part on sentiment.

Local history is receiving a large share of attention
in our present era. It is probably this that has given
stimulus to the compilation of family histories and
genealogical records. By many Rosenberger descend-
ants the appearance of a work which will give a
wider knowledge of the different branches of the
family to which they belong, and which will also
serve to preserve the history of the family, will be
hailed with delight. The writer must acknowledge
that previous to his becoming interested in the first
reunion of the family he knew very little of its

8 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

history. That he does not stand alone in this lack is
evidenced by these words from another member of the
family coming to notice through a communication :
' ' I should like to know something more of the
Rosenberger family ; I know all too little of them."
Preservation of and interest in family records
with us, where prinogeniture and aristocracy do not
obtain, is, no doubt, largely a matter of sentiment,
but it is sentiment that is not to be despised. The
matter flavors also to a large degree of duty, and, in
this measure, it becomes an incumbency upon us.
There are two extremes into which the human family
may fall with respect to the attitude toward ancestry —
the one that of veneration amounting to worship ; the
other that of neglect amounting to dishonor. The
Chinee is a type of the first extreme ; the American
people, it is feared, are rapidly drifting into the
other. As we fulfill the divine command to honor
our parents we must needs become possessed of a
lively interest in those who have gone before and
through our parents have handed down to us those
qualities which are priceless legacies. While we
might desire a family history to contain fuller accounts
of the characteristics, traits and deeds of our ancestors
than this work does, we shall remember that there is
no clue known to this desirable knowledge. It is
gratifying, however, to have at hand a few bits of
data which may be used as a framework upon which
the fancy can build a structure. Among such facts
we find that they left the mother country for the sake
of liberty of conscience, that they helped to subdue
the rugged wilderness of the new world, and that
theirs was a religion that taught simplicity of life,
consistency of deeds and profession, and peace with all
men. Building upon these facts the imagination can-

INTRODUCTION 9

not go far wrong. We look back with our minds and
eyes and see our father, the emigrant, with his
family bidding farewell to home surroundings and
friends and embarking for a foreign shore. We see
him select a site for his home in the new country and
then begin the erection of rude buildings for shelter.
We see him pursue from day to day his primitive
occupation, but with all finding time for higher
duties as he ministers to the little flock entrusted to
his care ; and along with all we conceive how he
fervently blesses God for the priceless boon of liberty
vouch-safed to him in this " Land of the Free."

As we picture these scenes we are made aware
that the lesson which these sturdy tillers of the soil,
our forefathers, teaches us is not without grave import.
In our time there is a tendency to measure success by
the degree of refinement and luxury, possible of
attainment. Of these they knew very little, but times
have changed, and we rejoice that they have. We
freely admit that it shows a commendable spirit to
keep abreast of the times. It remains, however, that
present conditions as contrasted with the past do not
necessarily determine the comparative value of our
lives. Personal worth is the truest crown of any life,
whenever and under whatever condition it may be
lived.

A large part of this work is simply a record of
names and to one outside of the family might appear
uninteresting, but to members of the family it will be
far from meaningless. Following up this record they
will be enabled to trace out the relations of the
various branches of the family, and they will, no
doubt, often be surprised to find that persons with
whom they have had a passing acquaintance are
bound to them by ties of kinship. Most of the fuller

io THE ROSENBERGKR HISTORY

biographical sketches are of those still living or
recently deceased. These will he of interest, as they
reveal the many different walks in life chosen by the
many descendants. In the light of the fact that at
first only a few vocations were represented by the
family these will have still more interest. When it is
noted that at first the family was limited to one
locality and now is spread over the whole extent of
the United States and quite largely represented in
Canada added interest will follow. But this part will
be of still more value and interest to coming gener-
ations, and we can do them a good service by giving
our assistance in making and preserving these records
and handing them over to posterity.

To Rev. A. J. Fretz, the author, every one con-
nected with the family owes a debt of gratitude.
The preparation of a work of this character involves
the expenditure of much time and labor, besides the
accompaniment of many vexatious experiences. To
the members of the family who have assisted in
furnishing the necessary data and have helped in this
and other ways in kindling an interest in the history
of the family, especially to I. R. Haldeman, the
publisher, who was the prime mover in securing the
revision of the Rosenberger history, also acknowledge-
ment is due. It is hoped that the work will be widely
circulated and accomplish the end in view in its

preparation.

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 con-
nection, each generation being marked consecutively from first
to last. The Roman numerals placed before each name are
used to designate the generation to which they belong, as : —
I. Henry Rosenberger (First Generation).
II. Benjamin Rosenberger (Second Generation).

III. Yelles Rosenberger (Third Generation ).

IV. Benjamin Rosenberger (Fourth Generation).
V. Elias Rosenberger (Fifth Generation), etc.

Beginning with the first ( I ) ancestor, Henry Rosenberger,
his children as far as known are named. Then follows Benja-
min Rosenberger (II Generation), and his children (III Gener-
ation) next. Yelles, probably the oldest, is followed down to
the last of his descendants, then the second in order of birth
of the III Generation, and so on until the end of the entire
branch of Benjamin Rosenberger, of the II Generation, is
reached. Then the descendants of Daniel Rosenberger,
II Generation, is taken up and carried down in like manner
to the last of his descendants, and so on throughout the entire
connections.

Where marriages occur between members of the connec-
tion the husband carries the record. In all such cases a num-
bered reference is placed after the name and marriage of the
wife, as for example (See Index of References No. i). In the
list of Index of References will be found No. i, Mary A.
Dennstedt, married Aaron R. Bock, Page — . On the page
given in the body of the book the family record is given.

In the General Index will be found the names of all males
of 18 years and ove r , and the maiden names of all females of
1 8 years and over ; also the pages on which their family record
is given in the body of the book.

To find family records see Index of Branches, where
names of all that had issue of the first, second and third
generations are given,

THE ROSENBERGER FAMILY OF MONT-
GOMERY COUNTY, PA.

The name of Rosenberger is of ancient origin in
Germany, signifying Rosemount or Rose Castle.
The first Rosenbergers in America probably came
from the Palatinate, once a province of western
Germany, bordering on the Rhine. September 20,
1738, Hans Peter Rosenberger arrived in Philadelphia
on a ship from Rotterdam, containing a number of
emigrants from that country. John F. RaucheubergerK
arrived a week later, and Erasmus Rosenberger on
September 26, 1749. The first settler of the name of
Rosenberger in Montgomery county was Henry
Rosenberger, who came to the Indian Creek valley,
in Franconia township, in 1729. In 1739 Benjamin
Rosenberger settled in Hatfield township, where in
that year he purchased 125 acres of land bordering the
County Line at Line Lexington, which he held for
five years. Daniel Rosenberger purchased another
tract in Hatfield lying along the County Line near
the hamlet called Hockertown in 1740. In the year
1745 Henry Rosenberger, Jr., came in possession by
deed of his father's plantation in Franconia township.
John Rosenberger settled in Hatfield township and
first bought land around where is now the borough of
Hatfield about 1749-50.

It is a tradition of the family that the Rosenbergers
of Montgomery county, Pa., came from Germany,
from a place called " Zweibrucken " (two bridges).

13

14 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

It is supposed that these families that settled in
Franconia and Hatfield townships were all related,
and while it is certain that Daniel and John were
brothers, it is quite evident that the four above
mentioned were all brothers and sons of Henry
Roseiiberger, Sr. John Shutt Rosenberger, a great-
great-grandson of Benjamin Rosenberger, previous to
his death is said to have related that one of his
ancestors reached the great age of 96 years. It is not
now certain which one of his ancestors he named as
having reached that age. He also said that one of
his ancestors was born on board ship or soon after
the landing in America. It is quite certain that
neither Benjamin or his eldest son, Yelles, reached
the age of 96 years, therefore it must have been
Benjamin's father, the emigrant, who was 96 years
old at his death. This would also indicate that
Benjamin was the son of a pioneer. It is quite likely
that Henry Rosenberger, Sr. , the pioneer, lived to be
96 years old, but it is not clear that any of the
ancestors were born on the voyage over. Benjamin,
who no doubt was the eldest, was in all probability
born in Germany, and was a lad of from 11 to 15
years old when he came with his father to America.
He was born as early as about 17 14 and died about
1777, aged 63 years or more. His eldest son, Yelles,
was born before 1735 and died 1808, aged 73 or more.
The time of the emigration of Henry Rosenberger, Sr. ,
is not known, but was in all probability between the
years of 1720 and 1729. The descendants of Benjamin
are now largely settled in Bucks county, Pa., and a
considerable number also reside in Waterloo county,
Ontario, Can.

All the earlier members of these families belonged

ROSENBERGERS OF MONTGOMERY 15

to the religious sect called Mennonites and worshipped
at Franconia and Line Lexington meetinghouses.

Since writing the above we have received a com-
munication from Dr. M. Elizabeth Rosenberg, of
Omaha, Neb., which may throw some light on the
early history of the Rosenberger family in Europe.
The letter reads as follows :

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 19, 1899.
Rev. A. J. Fretz,

Dear Sir : — Forgive me for plunging right into the subject.
My time is limited, the story is a long one, the pater's mind
is not so strong as it used to be. I have obtained my side of
the tree by devious ways.

First, I will tell the story as I think it is ; then I will give
you proofs as near as I can.

I think we must start with Bohemia in Austria. A family
of Rosenberg lived northwest of Vienna on a large estate.
History mixes them up with the Hohenzollern family and the
religious wars of Austria. Between 1611 and 1660 they were
driven out to Switzerland, Holland, England, and lastly they
took ship with William Penn. There must have been a father
and nine sons. The pater (my father) is the eighth genera-
tion from the one coming on the ship.

Proof I. I have heard my father say (when I was small )
" my father was of a princely family. There was Von to the
name ; but he, the original Von Rosenberg, had to drop it
because no Von could travel without a permit from his king."

Proof II. A Rosenberg living near Washingtonville, O.,
sent for father about the year 185 1 to see what their relation-
ship might be, and this cousin said that they (he and my
father) were the eighth generation, that the original emigrant
was a man with nine sons, that one son went to Virginia and
that he was from that branch.

Proof III. My father often heard his father tell that his
ancestors were driven out by religious persecution, that they
hid in Switzerland in caves, thence fled to Holland and Eng-
land, that the name was changed during the flight, and the
Von never resumed, that a fierce battle was fought before
their flight.

Proof IV. There was an article in the "Boston Monthly

16 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

Scientific " on farming from a traveler in Austria describing
the Schwartzenberger estate. These obtained the estate after
the flight of the Rosenberg family. Wintergan is the central
village. The fish pond still retains its original name, Rosen-
berg "Teuch." I do not know the date of the article. We
and Uncle Dave Rosenberg, of Bettsville, O., have copies of it.
The estate consists of 99 villages and 30,000 people, and about
75,000 acres under the control of this Prince.

Very respectfully, M. E. Rosenberg.

The article above referred to and furnished by
Miss Rosenberg reads as follows :

A PRINCELY ESTATE.

The domain of the Schwartzenbergs' estate consists of
99 cities and villages and 30,000 people on one farm. The
extensive and interesting collection of products of the famous
estate of the Prince John Adolph Von Schwartzenberg's
pavillion in the National Exposition has led to a general
desire among those interested in agriculture to see for them-
selves the rich fields and perfect appointed farm establishment
that has brought forth such a wealth of various products.
Consequently the second excursion of a committee or jury that
visited the farm estate yesterday was a very popular one. The
excursionists counted to be 150 persons, and they took for
themselves a special train at 6 a. m. In four hours' ride we
landed there through hills and rich plains of Bohemia. The
views, landscapes and sceneries before our sight while enroute
was interesting and instructive. The Schwartzenbergs' domain
lieth towards the northwest from Vienna in the direction of
the Prague, and comprises about 75,000 acres, of which about
40,000 acres is woodland and 20,000 acres are under cultivation,
while 14,000 acres are covered with water, lakes, etc., the
remainder farm yards, streets, etc. This domain has been in
the possession of the Schwartzenbergs' since A. D. 1660, hav-
ing been formerly in the possession of the Rosenberg family.
The domain reverted to the Crown on the death of the last one
of the Rosenbergs', A. D. 161 r, and was presented by the
Crown to John Adolph Schwartzenberg at the time of A. D.
1660. The population of the domain is in the neighborhood
of about 30,000 people, who inhabit 99 villages, of which
Wintergan is the residence of the Prince. The details of the

ROSENBERGERS OF MONTGOMERY 17

direction of affairs of the domain would occupy too much
space to be given at length. The prince is assisted by the
hereditary Prince Adolph Joseph in the management of the
estate and there is an army of officials from all directions of
this domain. The entire domain, exclusive of the sugar mills,
brings a yearly product of the value of 6,000,000 florins, or
about 3 per cent, of the capital represented. There is hardly
a limit to the variety of substance of food produced on the
estate. Fish culture has been for 300 hundred years a great
specialty.

The Rosenberg family in the end of the fifteenth century
stocked with fish the largest ponds for the first time. The
large pond is still called today the Rosenberg "Teuch."

Note. — There is no doubt that Henry Rosenberger, Sr.,
of Franconia, was the pioneer emigrant, and that he in common
with other Mennonites fled from Germany on account of
religious persecution. Of the earlier history of the family and
their connection with the "princely family," the original
spelling of the name, as suggested in the foregoing, the num-
ber of children the pioneer had, and whether one of the sons
emigrated to Virginia or not, we know nothing. We have
seen Rosenberger's direct from Austria and Germany and one
Rosenberg from Prussia. One of the former from Austria
claimed to be of an old Austrian Rosenberger stock, and were
Jews. The last mentioned Rosenberg, from Prussia, was also
a Jew. Author.

HENRY ROSENBERGER, OF FRANCONIA.

I. Henry Rosenberger is believed to have been
the first of the name who came to Montgomery county
as an emigrant from Germany, and was a Menuonite.
He purchased laud in Franconia on November 14,
1729, of James Steele, of Philadelphia. For ^30 he
obtained 150 acres. This was situated about two and
one-half miles west of Souderton. It covered an area
through which flows the Indian Creek. The greater
part was the slope toward the northwest from the
present Soudertou and Harleysville turnpike to that
stream, and including the site of the Meunonite
burying ground. Within these boundaries are now
the farm of Jacob S. Alderfer, Schueck's mill and the
farm of Michael Swartley. The latter is the fifth
in descent from Henry Rosenberger and owns the
homestead. Here down in the valley of the Indian
Creek and on its southeast side is a stone farm house
of unusual size. It bears the date of 1809 and the
name of John " Schwardle " in German, who was the
grandfather of the present owner. To the north is a
modern barn and close to hand an older one. The
latter is the oldest building about the premises. On
the wooden beam over the door is inscribed the name
of Henry Rosenberger and Barbara, his wife, with the
date of 1755. The first barn of all, in existence
between 1730 and 1755, stood more closely adjacent
to the banks of the stream, which was thought handy
to wash away the manure at a time this was thought

18

DESCENDANTS OF HENRY ROSENBERGER 19

of little value. A stone springhouse stands 70 yards
west of the house near the creek and bears the date of
1793. For this distance the water for household
purposes was carried for three or four generations.
In the present garden, just west of the house, stood
the humble log dwelling which sheltered the old
Mennonite emigrant and his family. It was only one
and one-half stories high and existed for 80 years.

The bounderies of the wilderness tract purchased
of Steele in 1729 were : " Beginning at corner in line
of Christian Haldeman ; thence by same northeast
100 perches to line of Francis Daniel Pastorias ;
thence by same northwest 254 perches by marked
trees ; thence by marked trees southeast 254 perches
to beginning." This was part of 1000 acres which
Penn's commissioners of property, Isaac Norris, James
Logan and Thomas Griffith, had sold to Steele in
1728. The deed was witnessed by James Robinson
and Abraham Reiff. The Christian Haldeman here
mentioned held a tract on the south side of the turn-
pike, where is now the Jonas Moyer estate.

In the list of taxables of Francouia in 1734 is
found the name of Henry Roseuberger. In the old
records Franconia is styled " The Dutch Township,"
and to the present day its population is almost wholly
of German or Dutch origin.

Nothing is known of the personality of Henry
Rosenberger. He built a house and barn and cleared
some land, enduring the hardships of a first settler.
In the year 1745 he conveyed his plantation in Fran-
conia to his son Henry. The bounderies of the deed
of 1745 are copied from the first deed and Henry Funk
and Christian Meyer, two Mennonites, were the
witnesses. The son Henry paid his father ^200.
It is not known what became of the father after con-

20 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

veying his plantation to his son, but he probably
remained with Henry.

It is not known when Henry Rosenberger died.
He was a Mennonite and one of the original wor-
shippers at Franeonia, where he was also buried.

The Franeonia Mennonite meetinghouse is one of
the typical places of worship found in many localities
of eastern Pennsylvania. A church was organized
and a house of worship built here as early as 1730.
The recent structure was succeeded by another in
1892. Like all others of this people it is plain to
austerity. Many horse sheds encompass it about.
It is built upon an elevation from which a splendid
view of hill and valley to the north and west may be
obtained. This overlooks a densely populated farm-
ing country, extending to the distant hills of Berks
and the highlands beyond the Schuylkill. In the
near view are the pleasant vales of the Indian Creek
and the North Branch of the Perkiomen. On the
northwest side of the meetinghouse lies the extensive
burying ground, thickly dotted with marble tomb-
stones, where repose the dead of many generations.
This congregation is one of the strongest in
number, having over 700 members. A communion
service in the Spring brings out a very large attend-
ance, and the services have a quaint interest for the
stranger. The service, beginning at 8 o'clock in the
morning, lasts over three hours. The women are
seated within the two aisles, while the men occupy
the side pews, their hats being hung on long rows of
pegs over the aisles. In the rear vestibule, entered
by a side door, is the women's room, where are hung
their bonnets and extra clothing. The Scriptures
are read in German and several preachers in turn
exhort the congregation. The elements of the com-

DESCENDANTS OF HENRY ROSENBERGER 21

munion are handed to each member by the bishop,
who has au assistant, meanwhile constantly exhorting.
In time of prayer is seen a kneeling throng. The
preacher from a hymn book reads one verse at a time
in a sing-song tone. This is sung to an old-fashioned
tune, sounding sweetly to the ear as it comes from the
white-capped throng. Thus is conducted the worship
of the followers of Menno Simons.

We name as the children of Henry Rosenberger,
$r. , Benjamin, Daniel, John, Henry, Jr. If there
were daughters we have not learned of them.

BENJAMIN ROSENBERGER, OF HATFIELD.

II. Benjamin Rosenberger, born in Germany ;
died during the Revolution about 1777 ; married
Helena . She died in 1799. Benjamin Rosen-
berger settled in Hatfield township, Montgomery
county, Pa., where, as early as 1739, he purchased
125 acres on the County Line, comprising the present
Oliver G. Morris and Frick farms at Line Lexington,
of Ebenezer Kinnersley. This property he held until
1 744, and it is probable that he made the first improve-
ments there. He sold it to his son John, who only
retained possession one year.

Benjamin Rosenberger was of a dealing, trading,
speculative disposition, and we find him buying and
selling various properties in different townships all
his life. His next purchase was a tract of land of 1 12
acres in Hatfield, lying further southwest. This was
86 perches by 210 in dimensions. The neighboring
landholders were James Dunn on the southeast, Jacob
Weirmau on the southwest, John Shooter on the
northeast, and Edward Warner on the northwest.
This place was bought of David Thomas for ^120.
It had belonged to a grant of 12 10 acres made to
Jonathan Hayes in 1705, who made the first improve-
ments. His only son, Jonathan, had two sisters,
Elizabeth, wife of Richard Maris, and Mary, wife of
Evan Lewis. The daughters were the heirs after the
death of their brother. They sold to John Williams
in 1723, who conveyed to David Thomas in 1 73 r.

22

DESCENDANTS OF BENJAMIN ROSENBERGER 23

We next find him the owner of the late Server farm,
just north of L,ansdale, a large part of which is now
included in that borough. This he bought at a date
now unknown, but which Rosenberger sold to Solomon
Sell in 1760. It comprised 106 acres and in later
times belonged to Edward Jenkins and his son Philip.
A little later, before 1766, he came into possession of
a farm in Gwynedd, near Friends' Corner, later owned
by Jonathan Lukeus. This he sold in 1776 to
Cadwallader Foulke. In 1772 he bought a lot in
Upper Gwynedd, comprising 50 acres, of Jonathan
Clayton, near the present Kneedler hotel. Probably
this had no building on it. It was sold by his heirs
in 1 78 1 to Jacob Heisler, the tavern keeper, for ^400.
It is supposed that he also owned a farm in Franconia,
as his widow Helena died in that township. In the
old deeds of Benjamin Rosenberger he is mentioned
as a carpenter. At one time he also owned the present
Beaver farm, near North Wales.

The death of Benjamin Rosenberger took place
during the Revolution, near or in 1777, after an active
life of over 50 years in this county. Helena, widow
of Benjamin Rosenberger, Sr.died in Franconia during
the Summer of 1799. In her will mention is made of
her grandchild Helena, wife of Michael Wireman,
and great-grandchild, Anna Weirman. From her
daughter Elizabeth, who married John Alderfer, have
sprung many descendants in Lower Salford. The
surviving children of Benjamin Rosenberger were five
in number, viz: Elias (or Yellis), John, Gertrude,
Elizabeth, Henry.

DESCENDANTS OF YELLIS, SON OF
BENJAMIN ROSENBERGER, SR.

III. Yellis Rosenberger, born at Hatfield, Mont-
gomery county, Pa., before 1735 ; died near Perkasie
or Sellersville, in Rockhill township, Bucks county,
in the early Fall of 1808. His will was registered
October 3 of that year. In this he bequeathed to
his son Benjamin the " plantation where I now live "
containing 130 acres, then bounded by lands of
Andrew Schlichter and Abraham Stroud. He also
owned fourteen acres of woodland. His daughter
Ann received ^1000 and the other daughter, Rebecca,
a farm in Springfield, where John Bissey lived. The
son Henry had already received his portion. Yellis,
or Julius Rosenberger, as he is often called in the old
deeds, inherited the trading, money-making dis-
position of his father, and the records of Bucks county
show that he bought and sold many different properties
in that county. In 1760 he bought of Henry Funk a
plantation in Hilltown of 166 acres for ,£400, which
he sold in 1765. Before 1773 he lived in Springfield,
on the Saucou line, a portion of his farm being in
Northampton county. In that year he bought a farm
in Bedminster.on the Hilltown border, of George Roth-

DESCENDANTS OF YELLIS ROSENBERGER 25

The Springfield farm was inherited by his son
Benjamin, as well as the one in Rockhill. There is a
tradition concerning a large tract of land in Rockhill,
which, in those days, was held by non-resident owners.
It comprised, along with arable land, much of the
Rockhills. Several squatters had settled on this land,
among whom was a Rosenberger. They were ordered
to vacate, but refused, and were only dispossessed by
a Sheriff's posse. The latter came "with a band of
soldiers," as the story goes, in the absence of Rosen-
berger. The women folks at home were very belliger-
ent and prepared to scald the intruders. The Sheriff
finally broke down the door and got possession. The
writer has no dates as to the time of this transaction
or which family were engaged. The children of
Yellis Rosenberger were Benjamin, Henry, Anna,
Rebecca.

IV. Benjamin Rosenberger, born probably in Hatfield
about 1758 ; died in 1824 ; married Margaret Nash.
He lived in Saucon in his early youth, and before his
majority was teamster in the American army of the
Revolution. The latter part of his life he lived in
Rockhill, Bucks county. He also owned a grist,
saw and oil mills in Haycock and 27 acres of land.
He reached the age of 66, his will being registered
April 24, 1824. In this document mention is made of
his children, as follows : Elias, Abraham, William,
John, Jacob, Joseph, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Rachel,
Margaret.

36 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

he learned the carpenter trade with Benjamin F
Frederick, of Lansdale. About 26 years ago he
entered the employ of Heebner & Sons in the wood-
work department, which position he retained for
years. Later he was promoted to the position of
superintendent of the works, which he resigned to
engage in the coal and feed business in partnership
with Amos Rosenberger. Three years later he re-
entered the employ of Heebner & Sons as a salesman,
which position he retained up to the time of his
death, and was a valued and trusted employe. Dur-
ing his many years residence in Lansdale he won and
retained the highest esteem of his fellow-citizens.
He was a member of the Borough Council for several
years, retiring in the Spring of 1896. He was re-
elected to that office at the Spring election of 1899 by
a handsome vote. He was also a director of the
North Penn Building and Loan Association. C :

VI. John Shutt Rosenberger, b at Trappe, Montg co,
Pa, May 2, 1828 ; d Jan 27, 1891 ; married Hannah
Adeline Williams August 25, 1853. 'She was born at
Brier Creek, near Mauch Chunk, Pa, Jan 7, 1839.

When a young man he learned the cabiuetmak-
ing trade, and is said to have been one of the best.
He enlisted in the Rebellion September r, 1864, in
Philadelphia, in the 203rd Regiment, Company D,
Pennsylvania, and was a volunteer in the 10th corps.
He was in the war about one year, when it broke up.
He was on detached services at Corps' Headquarters.
His duties were to build and to level off the ground
around the officers tents, and for this work he had as
many as 300 negroes in his employ. At the second
battle of Chapman's farm, the Rebels discovering
General Birney and staff, began firing in that direction,
the bullets coming thick and fast about where Mr
Rosenberger was standing, causing him to tremble. It
was an old saying "that whoever trembles will be the
next to be killed. A piece of shell flew past without
hitting him but with such force that his head was
turned half way round and so suddenly that it
cracked, and he had to take both hands to put his
head in the right position again. In this battle he
was on the reserve force and was stationed where he
saw the whole battle. He was at another time
detailed to make a coffin for a deserter, who, when
taken to the grave to be shot, sitting on his coffin,
bared his breast and pointing to the spot said, "boys,
shoot me here," and when shot, fell stone dead in his
coffin.

It is related that when Mr Rosenberger was a
creeping baby that his sister took him up in the third
story of the mill in which they lived, and while she

38 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

was sweeping the floor he crept to the door and fell
down three stories, fortunately falling in a pile of
shavings, and bounced like a rubber ball. The mill-
wright, who was standing there at his work, caught
him up and ran in the mill, and oil examining him
found him unhurt.

Mr Rosenberger was superintendent of L W
Drake's sawing and planing mill at Hazleton, Pa, for
20 years. In August 1877 he moved his family to
Philadelphia, where he took charge of Boweby &
Larish's sawing and planing factory in that city.
In April 1878 he went to Bloomsbury, N J, to work
for the same firm, who had built a factory along the
banks of the Musconnteong. November 30, 1880, he
moved to Washington, N J, and worked in Daniel F
Beatty's large organ works, but owing to the condi-
tion of his health he was forced to leave his work and
he again moved to Bloomsbury in 1885. Having
somewhat regained his health and receiving an urgent
invitation to resume his position he again moved to
Washington February 24, 1887. After holding his
position for a short time he was advised by his
physician to quit work. He again moved to Blooms-
bury April 27, 1888, and resided there until his
death. He was a member of John F Reynold's Post,
No 66, Dept of N J, G A R, of Washington, organized
April 26, 1882. He was a member of the M K church
and a class leader for many years in the German M E
church, of Hazel ton, Pa. He was also a leader of
schools. C : William, Rosalia, John, Samson, Anna,

a number of years. After his conversion he united
with the church, but his business required him to
work on Sundays and which was not consistent with
his religious sentiment in the matter. However, in
considering the matter he thought that if he closed
his shop on Sunday his business would be ruined, but
being fully persuaded that it was his duty to close
he resolved to do so. He then moved to Eastou, Pa,
but here he did not succeed. One Saturday night
he took the matter to the Lord in prayer, whom he
told he could not make a living in Easton with his
shop closed on the Sabbath and that he must have a
position given to him the Monday following. He
asked the Lord to direct his feet, for he knew not
where to go. The Lord giaciously heard his prayer
and on Monday morning his wife came to the shop
and handed him a telegram from his sister, which ran
thus : " John, come down at once ; important busi-
ness. — Rose." He took the first train for Blooms-
bury and in the afternoon returned to Easton with the
key of the Bloomsbury barber shop in his pocket, to
which place he removed and now conducts a success-
ful business. He served as class leader, assistant
Sunday school superintendent and trustee of the
church. ME. C: (VIII) Hannah Adeline Rosen-

boy Mr Rosenberger moved with his parents to Wilmot
twp, Ont, where his parents were pioneer settlers and
had all the inconveniences and requisites of pioneer
life, such as living in a log cabin in the woods with
only a fireplace for cooking and a blanket for a door,
and hunting, horseback riding, fishing, etc. Abram
helped to clear many a new farm. Machinery being
almost unknown then and schools few and inferior,
boys were obliged to work hard, with but little
opportunity to get an education. Abram's schooling
consisted of about three Winter's of school. Though
a studious pupil he had little chance of learning any-
thing besides reading, writing and arithmetic. His
mother taught him to read German, which he never
forgot.

In 1853 ne bought a farm of his father, where he
lived until 1863, when he sold it and moved to Huron
co, Ont, where he had rented the Cober farm. In
1868 he moved to a farm of his own, where he lived
until 1876, when he sold and bought a farm nearer
school. In 1884 he again sold and bought a farm in
Tuscola co, Mich, where he still resides.

When Mrs Rosenberger was 1 1 years old her
parents moved near Antioch, 111, where her father

died of a fever, and soon after the family returned to
Canada.

have musical talent inherited from their parents, and
as long as a majority of them were at home they had
a regular family choir. P O Unionville, Mich. Far-

going back to Waterloo, Ont, doing housework at the
Uncle D Cole's and going to school, and later began
sewing at 30 cents a day, until she opened up a dress-
making shop at New Hamburg, Out, with only 30
cents in money. She bought a $65 sewing machine
on time and gradually rose in her business, and after
dressmaking in New Hamburg many years she sewed

to the farm with messuage, gristmill, dam, race, water right, ponds,
and all belonging thereto were granted by Jacob Landis, Sr. and
wife Mary to their son Jacob Landis Dec 28, 1772. On Mafch 30,

Jan 12, 1872. He was a grandson of Valentine
Hunsicker, probably the progenitor of all of the
name in Montg. Co., who came to American in 1717.
and about 1720 settled in what was then called Van
Bebber, since Skippack, and now East Perkiomen
Township. The next generation in the direct line
was Henry Hunsicker, who was .a noted Menn -
onite Bishop, and preached 54 years. He was the
parent of Rev. Abraham Hunsicker, the subject
of this sketch. His ancestors being followers of
Menno Simon, a plain unworldly sect, most of whom
grew up to look upon a liberal education "as of the
world." Abraham Hunsicker enjoyed but the most
limited educational advantages. When grownup he
feltthe disadvantages of the want of Scholastic train-
ing, and being of a strong natural endowment, early
conceived the idea of reforming his religious brethren
in reference to that subject. He was ordained a
minister of the Mennonite church Jan 1, 1847, and
soon after was elected a Bishop. About that time a
Schism occurred in the Mennonite body, and Rev.
Mr. Hunsicker was seperated from "the old school."
In 1 85 1 a second divission took place, when he
set about organizing a .society. He issued a pamphlet

entitled a "Statement of Facts and Summary
of views on Morals and Religion as related with
Suspension from the Mennonite meeting." A copy
of said Pamphlet may be seen in the rooms of the
Historical Society of Penna.

About the tiDie of his ordination, (1847), as
Bishop of the Mennonites in the district of Skippack
Providence, and Methatchen, he conceived the idea
in connection with his son Henry A. Hunsicker of
founding a Boarding School to furnish his people
better means of education. This was accomplished
in 1S48 by the erection of the extensive building now
occupied by Ursinus College. In 1851, in conjunction
with Prof. J. W. Sunderland he founded Montgomery
Female Institute, afterward Pennsylvania Female
College. These proceeding in the cause of education
and other liberal views held by Mr. Hunsicker, led
to division in the Mennonite body in the locality,
and he proceeded at once to organize Trinity Christ-
ian Church. The church was built in 1853. Several
years later another church was built at Skippack-
ville. He was of a humane and practically benevo-
lent nature and dispensed freely what he had to
help the poor and labored long and hard to establish
through the church a fund for the poor. Practical
religion born of love and good will to all was pre-
eminently his, and that which he labored to establish.
He was an advocate of free Communion among Evan-
gelical Sects, and set the example in the church to
which he ministered. He wore the plain Menn-
onite garb while he lived, but was not prepossessed
in its favor, holding the view that attire is a thing
of religious liberty. He followed the teachings of
the Divine Word as he understood them. He was
of a mild and generous nature, and yet firm and
uncompromising in what he -egarded as vital; so he
may be set down as one of the genuine reformers of
our day. In person he was tall and stoutly built,
weighing over two hundred pounds, with a face ex-
pressive of honesty, force and resolution; his forehead
was massive and his temperament bilious — sanguine,
indicating power and endurance, his complexion was

126 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

dark but ruddy: he enjoyed good health as a con-
sequence of a strong constitution, vivacious spirits
and temperate living; he was eminently social, finding
enjoyment in the company of young and old alike
and ever giving good advice and counsel to all. Mrs.
Kunsicker was a great granddaughter of pioneer
Frederick Alderfer, who was born in the Palatinate,
Germany, May 18, 1715, and emigrated to America,
arriving Aug 11, 1832. Mrs. Hunsicker's 99th.. birth-
day anniversary was celebrated at her home in Col-
legeville, Pa. on the 16th. of November 1897, by a
large gathering of her descendants. She died in
1897, in her tooth, year. C: Ann, Benjamin, Es-

completed his education at Freeland Seminary (now
Ursinus College) then under the principalship of his
brother, Dr. A. H. Fetterolf. At 16 years of age
he taught in the public schools of Berks and Montg.
counties for five years. In 1871 he engaged in
mercantile pursuits in Philadelphia, being first em-
ployed as a lumber inspector, and subsequently, under
the firm of Fetterolf & Rosenberger, was engaged in
the flour and feed business on Market St. He re-
mained here in business until 1884. From 1888 to
1890 he was a member of the firm of the Roberts

128 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

Machine Company, of Ccllegeville, Pa., taking
charge of its finances and general business. Mr.
Fetterolf has held a number of public positions. He
has always been a staunch Republican, and has taken
great interest in local and state elections. In 1882
he was elected justice of the Peace for the township
of Upper Providence, and re-elected in 1887, but later
resigned to accept a County office. As Justice of
the Peace, he enjoyed the confidence of the people,
and did quite an extensive business. During the time
he acted in many trust capacities, settling a large
number of estates of decedents and assigned estates,
in all which he displayed signal ability. He was
Deputy Clerk of the Courts of Montgomery County
from 1 89 1 until he resigned to accept a more res-
ponsible position in the House of Representatives,
at Harrisburg. In 1885 he made his first ap-
pearance in the House of Representatives
in the position of Transcribing Clerk. His ability
and faithfulness in this position was such that at the
following session he was promoted to the position of
Speaker's Clerk, and so served during the session of
1887. During the session of 1889 he was again pro-
moted, this time to the position of Journal Clerk.
During the session of 1891 he was filling his position
as Clerk of the Courts, and therefore was not in
Harrisburg. In 1893 Mr. Fettetolf again received
an appointment in the House of Representatives for
a still more responsible position, that of Resident
Clerk, and later was elected Chief Clerk.

In 1892 Mr. Fetterolf was unanimously elected
Chairman of the Republican County Committee of
Montgomery Co. and conducted the campaign of that
ye^r and the follow'ng year so successfully as to elect
the entire ticket with a single exception. In this po-
sition he developed great executive ability, and de-
monstrated his shrewdness as a political organizer.
In 1893 he was appointed Secretary of the State Re-
publican Committee, in which position he served two
years and was elected for a third term. In this posi-
tion he has performed valuable services for his party.

Mr. Fetterolf has been Secretary for the Perkio-

Mr. Hunsicker spent his boyhood days oa his
father's farm, and had only the limited advantages
of the country schools of that time. In 1835 Henry
Prizer opened a boarding school in the village of
Trappe. He died in 1838 and was succeeded in the
school by Rev. Henry S. Rodenbough. This was
Mr. Hunsicker's Alma Mater. In 1848 he and his
father founded "Freeland Seminary," an educational
institution designed for young men and boys. He at
once became the principal of the school, and three
years later the proprietor. He continued as Princi-
pal of this school until 1865, when he leased the
school and property to A. H. Fetterolf, one of his
assistants, for five years. During the time of his

130 THEROSEN'l'.EKUEK HISTORY

lease to Prof. F. he sold the school property to Rev.
J. H. A. Bombroger, D. D., of Philadelphia, who,
in connection with other enterprising persons, ob-
tained a charter and founded tjrsinus College. In
1850 Mr. Hunsicker was ordained to the ministry of
the New(Oberholtzer) Mennonite Church. On ac-
count of the liberal and progressive ideas in church
work, a chism took place in 1851, which resulted in
establishing an independent church known as Trinity
Christians, of which Mr. Hunsicker was one of the
founders, and for which he continued to preach until
1875. He later connected himself with Presbyterian
church, and is now a member of the Moravian
church; the changes in his church relations were
made on account of change of location.

was b in Montg. Co. Pa. Sept 21, 1834, d Nov
1905. P O Collegeville, Pa. Mr. Hendricks was
reared on his father's farm, and in the spring of
1 85 1, entered Freeland Seminary, (now Lirsinus
College), and in the fall of 1852, took charge of a
public scbool in Milford Square, Bucks County.
During the four consecutive winters he was a
teacher in the public schools; he attended Freeland
Seminary during the summer months. In February
1856 he was appointed to the position of assistant
teacher in Freeland Seminary, and in two years he
was promoted to teach the higher mathematics, and
wae made vice-principal of the instution. It was
while engaged in these duties that at a meeting of the
Christian Society, at Freeland, (now Ursinus Col-
lege), held A. D. i860, he was, according to the
usages of the church, of which he was a member,
elected on trial to the office of the ministery. He at
once began to attend the duties of his new position
in connection with his school work. On June 25,

1 86 1, he was ordained to the office of minister of
the Gospel. The Christian Society materialized and
was incorporated in the Spring of 1855. The society
built for itself, in 1S54, what was styled the
"Christian Meeting House," and the same was
opened in the spring of 1855 for public worship. In
February 1862, Mr. Hendricks was elected pastor of
the Christian Society, and was installed in April

1862. At this time the duties of this new office oc-
cupied so much of his time that he was compelled to

134 THE ROSENBERGEU HISTORY

resign his position as teacher and vice principal of
Freeland Seminary. The original Christian Society,
subsequently Trinity Church, began as an independ-
ent church in 1888, when it was received into formal
fellowship with the Reformed Church in the U. S.
The other appointments of the charge are: Trinity
Church, Skippackville; and Ironbridge Chapel,
Rahn Station.

Mr. Hendricks enjoyed the distinction of having
served the same charge longer than any other living
pastor in Montgomery Co. He officiated at upwards
iooo funerals. He was greatly beloved by his own
congregation and in much demand outside of his own
churches. He was a fluent and forcible preacher,
speaking entirely extempore, in a rapid, earnest and
convincing manner. In June 1 88 1, Ursinus College
conferred on him the degree of M. A. and in June
i8;7, the degree of D. D. C: Lizzie, Ella, Bertha,
Abraham, Sallie.

diately opened an office in Norristown, where he
soon began to build up a lucrative practice, and
where he has remained ever since. He was an elo-
quent pleader, and was uniformly successful in the
trial of cases. In 1888 Mr. Hobson put on foot the
movement to organize the Norristown Title, Trust
and Safe Deposit Company, and was made its secre-
tary, treasurer, and trust officer. He was also foun-
der and publisher of the Montgomery County Law

Providence township, and was one of the contribu-
tors to Col. Bean's History of Montgomery County.

No trace found of any of his descendants.

DANIEL ROSENBERGER, OF HATFIELD:

||< Daniel Rosenberger, b in Europe, m Fronica- — .
He purchased a tract of land in Hatfield, lying along
the county line near the hamlet of Hockertown, in
1740. His lands composed 359 acres, bought in two
tracts and at different times. This large plantation
bordered on the county line 1 mile, and Yz southwest;
Within this tract are now the properties of David,
Samuel and Henry Rosenberger; Milton Jenkins,
John Landis, and Kile's tavern property. He pur-
chased his first tract of land, 159 acres, in 1740, of
Ebernezer Kinnersly, and was the upper or north-
west side of his subsequent plantation. In 1769 he
purchased 200 acres of George Krieble. This latter
purchase took place only two years before his death,
so that during nearly the whole of his life, he only
possessed the smaller portion of the tract afterwards
held by his posterity.

The larger portion of this latter purchase was
conveyed by will to Isaac, the youngest son of Dan-
iel Rosenberger.

Tradition says Daniel Rosenberger first settled
near the county line where Samuel Rosenberger now
lives, then he removed a short distance westward,
where was the residence of Henry Rosenberger.
Here he built a stone house in which he died. This
upper part of his plantation was devised to his son
David, who built a new house in 1780; the date
stone may yet be seen in the cellar way of present
dwelling, and bears the initials, "D. R. B.," stand-
ing for "David Rosen Berger." David Rosenberger
bequeathed this property to his son, Henry Rosen-
berger. It then passed into the hands of Aaron
Rosenberger, who sold it to Jacob Allebach, and in
1895, it was sold at Sheriff's sale to one Pennypack-
er.

15SJ THE ROSENBEKGEK HISTORY

No information has come down to ns concern-
ing the personality of Daniel Rosenberger. He was
a Mennonite and worshiped at the church near Line
Lexington, where his remains were buried. He
made his will Aug 15, 1771, was witnessed by Valen-
tine Ulrich, John Rosenberger, and Christian Funk,
and was registered September 23, 1771. The 200
acres were conveyed to his son David, and 159 acres
to Isaac. The widow who had the singular name of
Fronica, was to receive ^700 from her son David,
showing that Daniel had become a comparatively
wealthy man, for those days. C: David, Isaac,
Ann, Mary.

The two hundred acres bequeathed to David
Rosenberger was bounded on the northwest by the
cross road, now a turnpike, running from the Co.
line to Hatfield station. It comprised the Landis
farm, those of Henry and Samuel Rosenberger; the
lot of David Rosenberger and the tavern property.
At the premises of Henry Rosenberger, his great

was more on the order of Missionary work, with
much traveling, and constantly, every day preach-
ing, with many hardships to endure, and small
salaries. He having a wife and six children,

locate in 1840, when he and his family moved to
eastern Ohio, then a new country, where other
members of his father's family had preceeded him.

family by farming, still continuing to preach on Sun-

Dr. Rosenberg was converted Jan 9, 1837, and
joined the Evangelical Association. In Aug 1843,
at the Ohio Conf. of the Ev. Ass'n. Church, he was
licensed to the "Local Ministry." He taught dis-
trict schools, and preached on Sundays. In 1853,
'54, '55, the Pittsburg Conf. Ev. Ass'n. sent him to
travel as preacher on their circuits in Armstrong,
Jefferson, Clarion and Venango counties of Pa., and
1856 to 1864 the Ohio Conf. sent him to travel and
preach on the missions and circuits in the counties of
Wood, Lucas, Henry, Wyandott, Pickaway, Fair-
field, and Wayne, Ohio; and Lenawee and Monroe
counties, Michigan. His voice for public speaking
finally failed totally and in 1864 he located and enter-
ed and graduated from the Eclectic Medical Institute
of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1869, and has practiced med-
icine successfully from that time to the present,
(1900).

Dr. Jacob H. Rosenberg educated himself after
marriage by much planning and economy. He reads
Greek, Latin and Hebrew, giving the translation
very readily and rapidly. He is now a member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. C: Sarah, Frank,

VI. Joseph Amasa Munk, M. D., was born on a
farm in Columbiana County, Ohio, November l c ),
1847. At the age of five years his family moved to
Salem, Ohio, and four years later to a farm near the
village of Mt. Union, Ohio, where he spent several
years of farm life in work and play and going to a
district school.

During the late civil war the bows of his neigh-

176 I1IK UOSENBERGEK HISTORY

borhood, feeling the patriotic spirit of their elders,
organized a company for military drill of which he
was elected captain. In the summer of 1864 he de-
termined to join the Union army and after gaining
his father's consent enlisted in Co. I, 1.78th (). V. I.
and with his regiment was immediately assigned to
active duty in the field. He served as private through
several campaigns both east and west and in June
1865, at the close of the war and while yet under 18
years of age, received his discharge and was muster-
ed out of the service.

After returning home he became a student of
Mount Union college and after attending school one
year he left college to study medicine with Dr. I). H.
Rosenberg at Bettsville, Ohio; and in 1869 graduated
from the Electric Medical Institute in Cincinnati,
Ohio.

He first located at Lindse> , < >hio, but soon de-
cided to go west and located next in Chillicothe, Mo.
in 1871. Here he practiced medicine ten years; but
not being satisfied with his opportunities moved to
Topeka, Kansas, in 18S1 and bought a partnership
with Dr. P. I. Mulvane. The firm of Drs. Mulvane
& Munk did a successful business during its eleven
years of partnership. In 1891 the firm dissolved by
mutual consent, the senior partner Dr. Mulvane
moving to Chicago where he retired from active
practice, and in 1892 Dr. Munk moved to Dos Ange-
les, California, where he has since lived.

During his early years of practice he spent his
leisure time finding out what else he could do believ-
ing that no man knows what all he can do until he
tries. His love of nature and natural science often
took him to the fields and woods. He studied taxa-
dermy and many mounted specimens of birds and
small animals ornamented his office. He devoted
some time to music and composed a number of songs
that were published in sheet form by John Church &
Co. of Cincinnati and glees, choruses and anthems
were contributed to books edited by Prof. H. S. Per-
kins and published by Lyon & Healy of Chicago.
After leaving Chillicothe he discontinued writing

DESCENDANTS OF DAVID ROSENBERGER 177

music as his time v\ as full}' occupied by his profession.
In Topeka, as a diversion, he joined the Modoc Club
a musical organization composed exclusively of men
and limited to thirty members. The club was organ-
ized in 1876 and under the able leadership of its per-
manent president Major T. J. Anderson prospered
greatly and is in a flourishing condition at Lhe present
time. The club is in demand at Grand Army gath-
erings and public meetings and has traveled and sung
from Boston to San Fransisco.

Soon after moving to Topeka he became interest-
ed with h's brothers in the range cattle business near
Willcox, Arizona where they started a cattle ranch in
1S82. In 1884 he made his first trip to Arizona and
was so much impressed by what he saw that after re-
turning home he tried to find out what had been
written on that far away land. In his search for
Arizona books he found a copy of Hinton's Hand-
book of Arizona which contained a list of a dozen or
m< re other Arizona books, copies of all of these
books were procured and since that time he has been
a constant collector of Arizoniana. In 1900 he pub-
lished his Arizona Bibliography which contains near-
ly 1,000 titles. During the past five years he has
more than doubled his collection and expects soon
to publish a second, revised and enlarged edition
which will contain more than 2,000 titles.

During the past twenty \ ears he has made fre-
quent trips to Arizona and the southwest and regards
Arizona as the greatest wonderland in America. He
is familiar with ranch life, has visited its many
natural wonders and pi ehistoric ruins and has studied
its fascinating climate — all of which is described in
his new book of Arizona Sketches that is just out.

He has been a regular contributor to current
medical literature during the past thirty years and
has written for the local press on hygiene and other
health subjects. He has been a member of the Ec-
lectic Medical societies of the several states in which
he has lived and was elected Vice President of the
National Eclectic Medical Association in 1876. He
is the present Dean of the Los Angeles Eclectic Poli-

clinic, a post graduate school of medicine that was
opened last year.

He married Emma S. Beazell of Webster, Pa.
January 9th, 1873. One child was born, a daughter,
which died in infancy.

He is a republican in politics and Methodist
in religion.

DESCENDANTS OF DAVID ROSENBERGER 179

Ohio, and with the family a few years later removed
to Alliance. Ohio. He received his earlier education
in the Union schools, and later entered Mt. Union
College.

During the time required to complete a classical
course at college, he taught school at various places
each winter term in order to obtain funds to carry
him through the remaining terms of the college year.
Notwithstanding the time thus taken from his college
work in teaching, by applying himself continuously
by night study while teaching and long hours of
stuHy while in college, he finished the four years
course pi escribed in the college curriculum to obtain
a classical degree in the short time of three years,
and was graduated during the month of July 1872,
\>y obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Arts. At a
later date the same college conferred upon him the
degree of Master of Arts, he having pursued a Post
Graduate course of study including law and the
scinences. After spending a two months vacation in
the eastern states, he entered the law department of
the University of Michigan, located at Ann Arbor,
Michigan, October first of the same year. But
being in want of sufficient funds to complete the
college course, he entered the law office of Judge
Kent at Detroit, Mich., to prepare himself for the
coming annual examination to be held by the Su-
preme Court of Michigan at the April Term, and by
continuing what had now become almost a habit of
studing long hours, continuing often into the small
hours of the night, his preparation was duly com-
pleted.

The examination was held on the 29th day of
April, 1873, at a session of the Michigan Supreme
Court, composed of Chief Justice Christiancy, Thos.
M. Cooley, author of Cooley's Blackstone, Judge
Kent, a nephew of the Illustrious Chancellor Kent,
and the author of Kent's Commentaries, and Judges
Cambell and Walker, who together composed the
Michigan Supreme Court, and who were all present
and participated in the exhaustive quizzing of the
applicants for admis.Mon to the Bar.

18U THE ROSENJJERGEE HISTORY

Mr. Monk passed a most satisfactory examina-
tion and was duly congratulated by this august body
of eminent men that composed the Michigan Supreme-
Court, upon his success and thereupon ordered that
a license to practice in all the courts of the state as
an attorney, solicitor and counselor at law be issued
to him. he receiving his license to practice law just
seven months from the time that he commenced his
law course of study, and matriculation at the Mich.
University, an achievement that has seldom if ever
been surpassed.

Mr. Monk being again out of funds, and it requir-
ing funds to properly open a law office, he accepted
the position of Superintendent of Sehoolsat Nevada,
Iowa, that fortunately was offered to him at this time.

Having conducted the schools with success
during the school year and having thus obtained the
funds required, heopened a law office at Des Moines.
Iowa, and being aided by the kind assistance of
Chief Justice C. C. Cole, of the Iowa Supreme
Court, the officers of the Citizens National Hank,
and other clients, he obtained at once quite an ex-
tensive law practice, and successfully conducted a
number of important suits in the various courts of
the state.

During the year 1877 . a good opening offering,
he together with his brother. \V. C. Monk, removed
to St. Louis, Mo., and opened law offices with the
object of making real estate and corporation law a
specialty. They continued in business together with
much success until 1882, when by over-application
his constitution was completely broken down, and
on the recommendation of his physician he proceeded
to seek the benefits of a milder climat. and out door
life in Arizona.

Arriving in Southern Arizona, he at once saw
an opening to obtain his object and in cooperation
with his brothers located a cattle ranch, gaining the
control of a large body of government land, by locat-
ing upon the land and building cabins and stocking
the same with cattle and horses, at the same time
locating and appropriating and developing all the

DESCENDANTS OF DAVID ROSENBERGER ]*]

water consisting of springs that were to be found on
the land and thus in time they secured control of a
large tract of land, about twenty miles square,
located near the railroad with good shipping facili-
ties, and although they experienced considerable
trouble with the rustlers (cattle thieves) and Indians,
the business venture has been a success from the
start. During the years of 1882 to 18S4, the Apache
Indians under Geronimo made a number of raids
from San Carlos Reservation into Southeastern Ari-
zona, and on into Mexico, and moie than once
passed by or through the Monk Cattle Range that
the Monk Brothers had located near Bowie, Arizona.
These Indians after fruitless effort on the part of Gen.
Crook to stop their raiding through the country,
such raids always resulting in the massacre of many
ranchmen, miners and cowboys living in the territory,
Gen. Miles, who succeeded Gen. Crook in command
of the troops in Arizona after a long chase, finally
succeeded in capturing the Apache Chief Geronimo
and his followers and brought the whole band number-
ing about 300, composed of bucks, squaws and
children, to Bowie Station on the S. P. R. R. from
which point they were at once shipped by rail to Ft.
Sill and other points located in the East, where the
influence of civilization has to some extent enlighten-
ed and christianized the band. Since the removal
of this band of Indians, no further trouble has been
experienced from the Indians, although at the San
Carlos Indian Agency and Reservation, there are
now living not less than 6000 or 7000 Indians who
are still supported more or less by the United States
Government.

But with the removal of these Indians our
troubles were not yet ended, for within a few months
numerous bands of Rustlers (cow and horse thieves)
infested this border country between 'Arizona and
Mexico, and many stattling and unlawful incidents
might be told ot thier murders, train robberies and
depredations and injuries inflicted upon the ranch
men located near this border country joining Mexico,
on the South.

1S2 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

During the years 1884, 5 and 6 the crimes com-
mitted in this section of the country by the Rustlers
had become so numerous and atrocious that the
cowmen, miners and freighters united together and
determined to inaugurate a reform in the administra-
tion of the laws. To accomplish this purpose, they
concluded to nominate a reform ticket to be voted
upon at the next election. At the head of this
ticket, Mr. Monk was nominated for the office of
County Judge, together with prominent cowmen
for Prosecuting Attorney and Sheriff. After a most
exciting canvass and election, the opposition ticket
was badly snowed under, and the Cowboy Judge and
his cowboy friends elected by a large majority.

From the time that Judge Monk entered upon
his duties as Judge of the roughest and toughest
section of Southern Arizona, the cow thieves and
Rustlers received all that was coming to them. Some
were killed by the sheriff and his deputies; soi
were hung by the Vigilance Committee, and some
were sent to the penitential y and law and order was
soon established in this section of the territory. He
served with much success during his term of office
and was re-elected for a second term, and at the ex-
piation of this time, Tombstone and Cochise Co.,
Arizona, was as peaceable and orderl) 7 as any section
located in the Eastern states.

During the year 1893, there being a vacancy in
the United States L,and Office at Tucson, Arizona,
Judge Monk was appointed Receiver of the U. S.
Land Office at Tucson by President Cleveland, and
this office he held and filled with credit to himself
and the Government for the term of four years.
During his term of office many of the Government
Reservations upon which the various Army Posts and
Forts had been located and then abandoned were open-
ed up for settlement both at private sale and public
auction . These Public Sales were sometimes conduct-
ed under adverse circumstances, as an instance might
be given the sale at Old Fort Grand Reservation. This
Reservation is located on both banks of the San Pedro
River, and on account of heavy and continued rains

DESCENDANTS OF DAVID ROSENBERGER 183

the river overflowed its hanks, and washed away all
the bridges crossing the river For many miles in each
direction from the old fort. As it was impossible h;
those wishing to bid orally that were on the opposite
side of the banks noon which the sale was held by
him the written bid of the would-be-purchaser
carefully wrapped around a weight and this weight
was attached to a cord and sent across the river, and
the award to the highest bidder was returned in the
same manner to the successful man, and although
rather tedious work, most of the old fort was dis]
ed of before the sale was ended.

At this time Gov. Hughes of Arizona, appointed
Judge Monk a Regent of University of Arizona, tl
school being quite small and not very successful but
under the new administration and the employment of
new and efficient corps of professions, the University
within a few years incroased so rapidly in efficiency
and attendance, that many new departments have
been established, new buildings have been erected,
and a fund sufficient provided to insure its continued
future success.

Under his appointment by the Commissioners of
the United States Land Office, as Disbursing Agent
of the Land Office, and his appointment as Civil Sei -
vice Examiner for Arizona by the Government, togeth-
er as manager of the Monk Bros. Ranch, as well as
his other duties pertaining to the Laud Office and the
University, he had his time fully engaged, and in
fact, his health again having failed, he determined
to again make a change for his future field of labor,
and after visiting a number of places, and cities in the
West, he determined that Los Angeles was by far
the most prosperous and possessed all those attractions
most desirous to establish a permanent home. Hav-
ing determined to remove to Los Angeles, California,
before doing so, however Judge Monk concluded to
spend some mouths in seeing the Old World and in
June 1900, sailed from New York on the Steamship
Furst Bismark, Hamburgh-American Line for
France; He landed as Cherbough and spent a few
days in Paris visiting the Exposition and greatly en-

184 THE ROSENBERGER HISTORY

joyingthe many and to him then strange sights and
attractions to be found in the one Paris of the world.

In succession he visited Switzerland, crossed the
Alps, twice, once by Simplon Pass, and once across
the Alps by way of the Trete Noire Pass, traveling
on and sailing over the Northern Lakes of Italy,
thence to Milan and along the Riviera to Monte Carlo,
visiting the Casino, the largest gambling halls in the
world, where b) ? placing a five franc piece on the
Roulette table, he won fifty, and on the same day
and hour many players lost their all, and to these
life became a burden because they were never able
to redeem the fortune they had lost. For but a few
men or women (the women gamble the same as the
men) can say that they are the "one who broke the
Bank at Monte Carlo." Thence he traveled down
the east coast of the Mediterranean from Genoa to
Rome, the old capitol of Italy, wherein are to be
found still standing the old walls and the Collsseum
of the old Roman Empire, thence south to Naples,
on to Pompeii and to the top of Mt. Vesuvius.
Thence across Italy to Florence to the famous Cam-
panile, thence over to Venice, the city built on a
thousand islands, with canals for streets and gon-
dolas to convey the people across the city, engaging
a gondola he passed the Bridge of Sighs that crosses
one of the canals; visiting the Grand Square of St.
Mark, St. Mark't: Church, the wonder among the
churches of Europe, and other points of interest.
Thence he traveled north through Germany to Ober-
ammergau where the famous Passion Play is seen
for a 'season every ten years.

The following extract, taken from the old parish
records of Oberammergau, will explain the origin of
the play in that village:

"In the year 1633 the pest raged so fearfully
that in the parish of Kohlgrub (three hours from
here) there were only two couples left, and a man
named Casper Schuchler, coming here to visit his
wife and child, fell by the roadside and was buried.

"From that day to the eve of Simon and
Jude, a period of three weeks, eighty-four people

Joseph A. Munk, M. D.

DESCENDANTS OF DAVID ROSENBERGER 185

died of the plague; accordingly, eighteen burghers,
assembling from the village of Oberammergau, vow-
ed that once in ten years they would present in living
pictures the Passion of Jesus Christ. From that
instant the plague ceased, and those who were ill
instantly recovered."

This vow has, with few exceptions when pre-
vented by war, been faithfully observed every
ten years.

Not less than 5000 strangers visit the town every
week that the play lasts, during the summer months
of the year and are amply repaid for the expense and
inconvenience involved in making the journey.

After spending a very pleasant time in Munich,
a typical city of German}- and the richest city in
Germany in its various treasuries of art, he passed
through Austria to Vienna and was present at the
annual celebration of the Emperor's Birtbday, and
witnessed the grandest illumination of a city that has
possibly ever taken place.

Thence he traveled north through the city of
Dresden and in which reside not less than 50,000 peo-
ple who speak the English language, although in
the very midst of German culture. Thence on to
Berlin the capital of Germany. He had often heard
and read of linden Strassa (unter den linden) and
imagined its immense big linden trees shading the
street, but in fact, found a very scraggy and stunted
lot of linden trees lining the streets for some dis-
tance, and the Strassa is far from being what could
be called clean and attractive to visitors.

From Berlin he traveled west to Wiesbaden, a
great German watering place. Then to Beibrick on
the Rhine and passing down the Rhine on a fine
saloon steamer for a twelve hour daylight ride down
the River past Bingen on the Rhine on to Bonn, be-
tween which points the interest of the Rhine scenery
surpassing that of Europe or America for varigated
and attractive features.

Passing through Mayence to Heidelberg, the
home of the famous old Heidelberg University, he
proceeded tc the city of Stuttgart, the capital of

186 THE K08ENBERGEB HISTORY

Wirtemberg, the place of his father's nativity, with
the object in view to obtain whatever information
that he could discover as to his ancestors on his
father's side.

After a somewhat hasty and unsatisfactory in-
vestigation by inquiring of a number of persons
bearing the name of Monk or Munk residing in
Stuttgart and the village of Constadt, nearby, as to
facts relating to his ancestors, or any facts connected
with their early history. He became satisfied that
in the earlier genealogy of the family, his great
grandfather emigrated from England to Germany,
changing the spelling of the name from the English
Monk to the German Moonk or Munk, the German
u having the same sound as the o or oo in the
English. Acting upon the knowledge obtained, he
as well as other members of the family have changed
the spelling of the name from Munk to Monk, al-
though it is even yet uncertain as to the correct
spelling of the name.

From this place Judge Monk proceeded to
Cologne, thence through Belgium to Brussels, and
to the battlefield of Waterloo; thence to Amsterdam
through Holland across the channel to England,
Scotland and Ireland, to South Hampton and thence
by the Steamship New York, American Line, back
to New York.

The following year finds the Judge taking a
winter's trip through Mexico, spending most of the
time in the City of Mexico, with short trips to Vera
Cruz and other points of interest in the country.
Then a summer trip through Alaska, to Sitka, pass-
ing by the Muir Glacier and climbing the Davidson
Glacier and on his return trip pass'ng through
Juneau, to Skagaway, and White Pass, back to
San Francisco. These with side trips to Yellowstone
Park, Yosemite Valley and the Grand Canon of the
Colorado, have provided him with the recreation
and rest that his health demanded, and with renewed
energy and strength he has located and opened a law
office in the Citj* of 'Los Angeles, California, where
he has sufficient business to keep him well employed.

DESCENDANTS OF DAVID ROSENBERGER 187

From the time the Judge reached the age of
twenty- one he has been connected with the various
secret orders, having joined the Knights of Pythias,
the order of Elks and the various Masonic bodies.
In Masonry he passed through the degrees of the
Blue Lodge, the chapter, the council, the Command-
ry, and the Shriners, and is now a member of Los
Angeles Commandry, and Malaikah Council of the
Mystic Shrine of Los Angeles.

He is a member of Christ Episcopal Church of
the city, a member of the Los Angeles Country Club,
the Jonathan Club, and the California Club, each
club being the owners of magnificent club rooms in
the city, and thus providing the opportunity for
many years denied him by his residence in Arizona,
that of the association with highly cultivated and
educated people, and to live in an atmosphere per-
meated with the latest knowledge of Art, Literature,
Science and Religion, as well as the enjoyments per-
taining to the social life of a city of two hundred
thousand people, and blessed with the finest climate
in the world.

a consideration the amount of ^20 and 18 shillings
were paid. The tract is now most occupied by the
fine farm of Milton Jenkins, comprising* 135 acres.

Here, surrounded by shade trees, are excellent
farm buildings of modern construction, The farm
is watered by a creek, flowing souchward, which
joins the other branches of the Neshaminy south of
Line Lexington. Near the present dwelling are two
old houses, relics of the past, one of stone, the
other of logs. The latter was built before the Rev-
olution, or perhaps about 1772. It was the dwell-
ing of Isaac Rosenberger. He afterwards erected
a stone house and a barn adjoining. In 1810 he
purchased 22 acres adjoining on the southern side,
and had in all 170 acres. After his death the farm
was sold to Martin Rosenberger, and by him con-

Harle} T sville News (then in its infancy) at $1.50
and board per week, and later was promoted to
editor.

After being employed on that paper for over three
years he took a position as foreman on the Ambler
(Pa.) Gazette and later was employed on the Phila-
delphia Press, but lost his position by a strike of
the Typographical Union in that office one year

later. He was again employed in the Harleysville
News office as foreman, the paper than being owned
by the A. E. Dambly estate, of Skippack, Pa., and
about one year later, on May 8, 1892 purchased the
establishment from the estate. He was also foun-
der of the Harleysville and Hatfield Beneficial and
was elected treasurer of the former in 1894.

Air. Haldeman is a self-made man in every sense
that the word implies. He started in life with
nothing - but good health and plenty of ambition and
he worked himself up by careful attention to every
detail of business both as an employee and employ-
er. He saved his money which he invested in a
building and loan association until he possessed
S300. This formed the nucleus capital with which
he started in the newspaper business.

After entering the newspaper business he took an
active part in local politics and his paper was the
only one in Montgomery county that came out for
Quay in his memorable fight for control of the
State Republican organization at a time when the
Senator's fight was a seemingly hopeless one.

Mr. Haldeman was elected an alternate delegate
from the seventh Congressional District to the Re-
publican National Convention held at St. Louis in
1896 and was appointed a member of the County
Executive Committee during the same campaign.

He is also a member of the Republican County
Committee. C: (VII) Ella C. Haldeman, b Aug 8,

work as was necessary upon the farm, in the store
and lumber yard. After that he worked a farm on

JOHN ROSENBERGER, SR., OF EIATFIELD.

||. John Rosenberger, b L724,d 1808. In "Fricks"
graveyard lies the body of Johannes Rosenberger,
I) 1724, (1 1808, aged 84 years. During his lifetime
he purchased many hundred acres of land. His
ambition was to give a farm to each of his children.
The site of Hatfield village and station was owned
by him. His lands extended from thence to the
Franconia line and even beyond. They covered an
extremely level territory, with extensive meadows.
In the northern end of Hatfield village and close to
the eastern side of the railroad are the modern
farm buildings formerly belonging to Enos Krieble.
Here was the site of the old homestead of John
Rosenberger. The old log house stood there until
1884 and was torn down and the old barn was de-
stroyed by fire. At the upper road crossing of the
brook, on the western side, may be seen a depres-
sion or hole in the bank, about which trees of con-
siderable size are growing. This was the site of a
grkt mill, which was built before the Revolution.
The land on which it was built was purchashed by
him in 17b ( > and the mill built soon after. It was
the first mill erected in this region. It was torn
down by Peter Conver in 1820. The place where
stood the old mill is now on the premises of William
Delp. The lands of John Rosenberger was com-
prised of at least 308 acres purchased before the
Revolution and at later periods he purchased sev-

cral hundred more. The farms now owned by
Jacob Kulp, William Delp, Knos Krieble, John
Rosenberger, John Kindig - , Jacoby Ott, J Wireman,
Abraham Gehman J. D. Gehmati, besides smaller
lots of the villag-e of Hatfield, belonged to John
Rosenberger. John Rosenberger was twice married,
his lirst wife's name was Barbara and his second
wife's name was Christiana, maiden names unknown.
He was a Mennonite and was one of the four trus-
tees to whom was deeded the lot where stands the
Line Lexing-ton Mennonite Meeting-house. C:

2<». 1836. Mr. Rosenberger received a common
school education. In early life he engaged in the
manufacture of various articles ol utility and orna-
ment. For many years he was extensively engaged
in the manufacture of wooden seives used by powder
manufacturers to sift the powder. He later engaged
in farming and on retiring from that vocation en-
gaged in making brooms and all kinds ol bric-a-
brac for his grand children. He was of such a na-
ture that he could not content himself without some
useful employment, although afflicted with a pe-
culiar ailment since his 35th year, since which tin e
he had few hours in which he was entirely free
from pain, or able to do hard work, yet notwith-
standing- all that, he was a remarkably well pre-
served man up to his old aye. Menu's: C: Anna,

264 THE KOSENBEKGKK HISTOKY

bach, Oct 3, L868, P. O. Hatfield, Pa. Mr. Rosen-
berger was given a good education. ( >n leaving 1
the township schools at the ag"e oi 15 years, he took
a course at Kulpsville Seminary for two winters.
He then took one term at the Carversville Normal
Institute and a short teachers preparatory course
at Pottstown under Robert Crinkshank. He then
went into the world to make his own war and for
ten successive terms taught school. In 1869 he
settled in Hatfield Twp. and in 1S72 bought a farm
which he has since successfully conducted. Mr.
Rosenberger has always been a very active Repuli-
can and has held office of a local nature for many
vears. . He was a school director for one term and
in 1890 was a delagate to the Republican State Con-
vension at Harrisbury. Pa. A few years after sett-
liny in Hatfield township he was elected assessor
and filled that post for eighteen consecutive years.
In L889, after serving 12 vears as assessor he was
re-elected to this office for three vears and received
every vote that was polled at that election.

His long term as assessor, has made Mr. Rosen-
berger acquainted with almost every man. woman
and child in the district, and familiar with every
lot of ground, its dimensions and ownership.

Mr. Rosenberger has been a very considerable
collector of books on a wide range ofsubjebts, and
possesses a good working library. He isaconstant
reader and one of the intelligent and well informed
jnen of his community. He is a close student of
public questions, as well, and familiar with county,
state and national issues. Although he never serv-
ed an apprenticeship in the mechanical arts, yet he
evinces marked inventive genius as an artisan. He has
invented, draughted and constructed many devices
and machines of merit which, however, he made no
efforts to have patented. Menn's. C: David, Mary,

at Ouakertown, Seidersville and Allentown until
14 years of age, when he was apprenticed to learn
the printer s trade in the office of Rev. S. K. Brobst.
He had hardly finished his apprenticeship when he
was placed in charge of the accounts of the various
publications of the establishment. At the same
time he was called upon to read proof and assume
other similar duties. In 1872 he was taken into
partnership by Rev. Brobst and till the end of 1876
when the latter died, the firm title was S. K. Brobst
& Co. The founder's son then became partner, the
firm name changing to Brobst, Diehl & Co., this
arrangement continuing several years, when the
subject of this sketch by purchase became the sole
owner of the establishment, which is now publish-

While an infant his parents removed to Seidersville,

years old he entered the public schools at the latter
place. At fourteen years of age he left school to
enter the employ of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Co., at Allentown station, learning telegrapy and
serving in various capacities in the offices of the
Company until 1877 when he left the employ of the
company to enter the Jefferson Medical College at
Philadelphia, Pa. He had previously prepared him-
self for the course in medicine by devoting hisspare
moments to study and by taking advantage of op-
portunities offered by practitioners of Allentown to
witness operations and to study cases of diseases.
He was graduated from the Jefferson Medical Col-
lege in the spring of 1879 and shortly afterwards
secured an appointment as house physician at St.
Mary's Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa., where he spent
a year. After leaving this hospital he passed the
examination for entrance into the Navy and was

which vessel went into commission at Cramps Ship-
Yard at Phila., where she had just been completed
and was commanded by Capt. Winiield S. Schley
(now Rear Admiral). However, on the way to
Chile the "Baltimore" stopped at Montevideo for
coal and it so happened that the Surgeon of the U.
S. S. "Essex," then in that port was taken ill and
was invalided home. Surgeon Die hi was
ordered by cable to succeed him on the "Essex" and
finished his cruise in that vessel on the South At-
lantic station, coming home on her in the spring of
1893. He was then ordered to the Naval Hospital

ble she was ordered to New York to protect that
Port. In the latter end of March she was ordered
to Key West and on the commencement of hostili-
ties went to Havana and was stationed at Cardenas,
Cuba, to maintain the eastern end of the block-
ade. Shortly after her arrival she captured as
prices the following - Spanish vessels viz steamers
"Guido" and "Bolivar, "schooners "Tres Hermanas"
and "Mascoto." From this point she went with

joined General Miles' expedition to Porto Rico ly-
ino- at Ponce and Guanica at which Ports she was
of valuable assistance to the Army in aiding- the
landing of the troops and stores. In September

Feb 5, 1765. In 1745 Henry Rosenberg-er became
the owner of the old homestead of his father Henry
Rosenberger, Sr. in Franconia for which the son
Henry paid ^200. Henry Rosenberg-er also owned
a farm in New Britain, Bucks Co.. which he pur-
chased from Christian Miller, deed bearing date of
April 13, 1775, containing- 100 acres for which he
paid j£(>66. This property he sold and conveyed
to his son-in-law Mark Fretz, of New Britain, May
5, 17S4. At this time (1784) Henry Rosenberg-er
seems to have been a resident of Franconia, as the
deed of Henry Rosenberg-er to Mark Fretz, reads
"Henry Rosenberger, of Franconia Twp., etc. That
he atone time lived in New Britain township where
he owned other land, is ce.tain. On Sept 2'), 1774
he bought 2'*^ acres of John Benner, situated at
the Neshaminy Creek, adjoining lands of Thomas
Barton and the said Henry Rosenberger and which
he sold to John Redline, of New Britain township,
July- 13, 1790 for ,-/.T75. At this time he must have
lived in New Britain, as indenture to Redline reads
'•Henry Rosenberger, of New Britain township and

known. No issue bv her. April 15, 1774, "Henry
Rosenberger, of New Britain township," bought of
Theophules Reese, 140 acres, adjoining William

It is said that Henry Rosenberger lived in New
Britain township about a mile N. E. from the Line
Lexington Mennonite church, that his farm adjoin-
ed the township line of Hilltown on the N. W. and
on the N. E. by a public road. His farm was for

FIRST ROSENBERGER FAMILY REUNION.

The first reunion of the Rosenberger family was
held in Perkasie Park, Bucks County, Pa., on Thursday,
August 10, 1899.

The weather in the early morning was rainy, and fears
were entertained that the rain would interfere with the
attendance. However, while o'er head the clouds hung
dark and broken, it ceased to rain, and the descendants
began to arrive, in vehicles of every description, from
the surrounding districts of Bucks and Montgomery
Counties, while the incoming trains brought hundreds'
more, until upwards of 1,500 descendants of the pioneer
Henry Rosenberger were present. The arrangements
of the reunion were in charge of a committee who had
been engaged for some lime in the work of preparation,
and the exercises were signally successful.

Included in the gathering were representatives of
the family from Bucks, Montgomery and Lehigh Coun-
ties, and Philadelphia, while several came from distant
states in the West and Canada.

The exercises began at 10:30 a. id., when the chair-
man, Prof. Seward M. Rosenberger, of Quakertown,
Pa., mounted the platform in the auditorium of the
park and introduced Prof. Howard Freed, of Lansdale.
Pa., as the first participant, who rendered a pleasing
piano solo. This was followed by singing "All Hail
the Power of Jesus' Name, 11 and a fervent prayer was
then offered by Rev. G. YV. Hengen, of Perkasie, Pa.,
after which Prof. S. M. Rosenberger, of Quakertown,
Pa., delivered the address of welcome, to which Rev. S.
A. Ziegenfuss, D. D., of Germantown. Pa., responded in
an appropriate address in which he cited his connection
with the family and congratulated the committee on
the success of the undertaking.

Miss Ella Geller, a promising young vocalist, of
Lansdale. Fa., favored the audience with a vocal solo,

320 THE [IOSENI5ERGER HISTORY.

and Miss Stella Rosenberger, of Philadelphia, rendered
an excellent piano solo.

The memorial address, prepared by A. R. Place,
Esq., of Lansdale, Pa., \v;is read by Dr. Daniel M. Lan-
dis. of Perkasie, Pa., Mr. Place, just having been treated
for an affection of the throat, his physician would not
permit him to use his voice. The address was one of
the best productions of the day.

The exercises of the forenoon were closed by sin" - -
ing that patriotic hymn, "America.' 1

At 2 o'clock, the audience which had been consid-
erably increased by later arrivals, again gathered in the
auditorium and the exercises Eor the afternoon were
opened h\ singing •'Nearer My God to Thee," after
which a piano duct was rendered by Miss Stella Rosen-
berger and Howard Freed. The chairman then intro-
duced Samuel Z. Freed, Esq., of Doylestown, Pa., who
delivered an address. He was followed by an address
byProf. A. V. K. Kront. M. A., of Philadelphia. Misses
Mabel and Susie Rosenberger, of 1 [illtown, Pa., rendered
a piano duet, and .1. V. Ommeren, Esq., of Quakertown,
Pa., addressed the audience briefly in the absence of F.
G. Hobson, Esq., of Collegeville, Pa., who was an-
nounced on the program as one of the speakers, but
failed to be present.

.Miss Ella Geller sang another solo, after which the
historical address was delivered by Kev. A. J. Fretz, of
Milton, X. J.

At the close of the exercises the (juestion of hold-
ing future reunions of the' family came up for con-
sideration, and it was moved and carried to hold a
reunion of the family every five years.

SECOND ROSENBERGER FAMILY REUNION.

The second reunion of the Rosenberger family was
held on Thursday, August 11, 1904, when about 1,000
descendants of the pioneer Bishop Henry Rosenberger
gathered in Perkasie Park, Bucks Co., Pa. The day
did not open auspiciously, and the threatening skies
kept many away. In the afternoon the large pavilion
was well filled.

A short program was rendered in the forenoon.
Prayer by Rev. S. A. Stopp, of Doylestovvn, Pa. Dr.
D. M. Landis extended the welcome of the town and
committee to the visiting relatives. Prof. S. M. Rosen-
berger responded to the words of welcome. James A.
Rosenberger, of Milford Square, delivered an oration
lauding the virtues of the ancestors, and emphasizing
the need of cheerful devotion to duty and right. Miss
Nora Rosenberger, of Perkasie, gave a touching read-
ing, which was sympathetically received by the audi-
ence. Addresses in the afternoon were delivered by J.
Ralphus Freed, Esq., of Doylestown. in the English
language, and Frank R. Rosenberger, of Milford
Square, in German. The addresses were replete with
happy allusions and sparkling thoughts. A trio was
rendered by W. B. Rosenberger's family and a number of
instrumental selections were rendered by the Misses
Susie and Mabel Rosenberger, of Hilltown. The music-
al renditions greatly delighted the audience. The his-
torical sketch prepared by Rev. A. J. Fretz, the family
historian, was read by the president of the Association.
At a business session the officers of the Association
were re-elected to serve the next reunion — 1907. They
are Prof. S. M. Rosenberger, President; I. R. Haldeman.
Secretary; Frank Rosenberger, Treasurer; Dr. D. M.
Landis. Isaac Rosenberger and Harvey Landis, Execu-
tive Committee.

VALEDICTION,

-o-

The gentle reminder of the editor that he has about

completed the manuscript for the Rosenberger Family
History, and that the lasi article in the form of a vale-
diction would therefore be expected without much
further delay, urges me to fulfill a promise which I
made some time ago, and which I have not forgotten.
Many of us have no doubt awaited the appearance of
this work with a great deal of interest. Various matters
have transpired within recent years to awaken our
expectations to a greater or less degree, so that any one
connected with the Rosenberger family, would, from
time to time, find his feelings agitated, his hopes excited
and his desires deepened, as these matters relating to
the history of the family took more definite shape.

The very first announcement from the Editor call-
ing our attention to the fact that the publication of a
history of the pioneers and descendants of the Rosen-
berger family would be undertaken, could not fail to
awaken a responsive chord in the heart of every living
member who happens to be in any way connected with
the family. And every subsequent announcement of
the intended project, had the effect to increase our
interest and augment our sympathy in behalf of the
movement.

But this favorable regard reached its highest point,
(in our judgment ) in the very successful RoSENBEKGEB
Family Reunion, held at Perkasie Park in the summer
of 189'.). Such an outpouring of people must certainly
have exceeded the most Banguine expectations of the
committee who arranged for the re-union, and demon-
strated in no uncertain tones the attitude of the de-
scendants to their family history.

The preparation and Completion of such a history
is necessarily fraught with a great deal of labor, research

VALEDICTION. 323

and patience. We are deeply sensible and fully appre-
ciate the greatness and accuracy of the work done by
the Editor in gathering, compiling and arranging the
historical data of this family, tracing our lineage and
making it possible for us to see the line of our particular
descent from, and our relations to the parent stem. It
is an intricate and yet withal an interesting study.

As we scan the pages of this volume, we learn a great
many things that we had not known before. We gain
a better insight into our family history, appreciate the
more fully the noble deeds, the pioneer work, the glori-
ous achievements, the arduous self-denials, the worthy
examples and goodly heritage handed down to us by
our fathers. Our eyes are opened and our hearts are
impressed as Ave ponder the character of our ancestors
in their integrity, uprightness, honesty and manly
virtues. Such consideration and reflection cannot fail
to incite us in constantly putting forth the great*-'
efforts to prove ourselves the worthy descendants of
noble sires. What man hath done man can do. ! -
would be idle folly, therefore, for any one (o presume
to rest on the laurels of his progenitors.

'"Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate:
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait."

While we may reasonably expect thai ail our
kindred will make themselves the possessors of at least
one copy of this valuable history, (for its price is cer-
tainly placed within the reach of each one) we, at the
same time hope that they will not only give tin 1 volume
a place on their library shelves, but will study its pages
and acquaint themselves with its facts. The character
of the work stamps it largely as a book of reference,
one that needs to be consulted repeatedly, in order to
be rightly understood and properly appreciated. Fre-
quent recurrences to its pages, and a constant looking
up of its events and names will till the mind with a
proper knowledge of our genealogy, and enable us to
speak intelligently concerning the matters thai
related to us so closely.

324 THE KOSENliEIUiEK HISTORY.

It is a work, therefore, no! of passing value and
present interesl only, bul one that grows upon us as
time passes on, ami will prove a, treasure even to our
succeeding generations.

T have already written enough and ought to say
farewell, but before doing so finally, let me impress the
thought: How will our lives compare with the lives of
our forefathers ? Will the world be the better because
we have lived in it ? Will our children and children's
children rise up to call us blessed, because we have not
lived in vain, and because we have made the best use of
our talents, and have been faithful, devoted and true to
our Divine Lord and Master ? We thus leave a good
example behind us and pass from the scenes of this life
into the blessedness of the life beyond. With these
thoughts we lay our pen down as we write a last and
an affectionate farewell.

Germany.

John Schwardle, at the age of 18, emigrated to
America in the ship "Minerva, 1 ' from Rotterdam,
arriving in Philadelphia, September 30. 1772. He was
a "Redemptioner, 1 ' and his passage to America was
paid by Rev. Henry Rosen berger, in whose service he
continued for three years.

Philip Schwardle came to America sibout 1782. He
was probably a resident of Montgomery Co. for some
time, but later located in Bucks Co. where lit' became a
prosperous farmer.

It is not known to the writer when the brother Jacob
Schwardle came to America. He lived and died in
Bocks Co., where he located in the year 1781.

It is also evident that a sister by name of Annn. also
came to America, married Jacob Krout. They lived in
Bedminster, on the Deep Run. at the place known as
"Krouts Mill.'*

purchased of William Allen, in Bedminster on the
Deep Run, at the place now known as "Krout's Mill."
The first tract, consisting of 91 acres, was purchased in
1750, and the other of 194 acres purchased in 1762.

Jacob also purchased 500 acres of the Ebenezer Large
tract in 1775. and in 1786 conveyed one-half of it to
his brother Henry. Jacob erected a mill on this
homestead tr;ict and purchased a few acres adjoining
to accomodate his race. By will dated March 10,
1796 and proven July 10, 1800, Jacob Crout of

arriving in Philadelphia, September 30, 177*2. in the
ship "Minerva." from Rotterdam.

who thus acquired the right of his services for the
term of three years, as provided by the laws of that
period. He came to Franconia and worked faithfully
upon the Indian Creek farm, and found favor in his
master's eyes as a worthy young man. moreover, he
found favor with the daughter Magdalena. and after
obtaining his freedom, they were married. He was
well rewarded for he obtained a good wife, and inherited
a fine farm, which he transmitted to his descendants,
who hold a large portion of it to the present time.

with one hundred and nine acres. Menu's. ('.: Jacob.

Which they ejected grist and saw mills, residing there
until March, 1862, when they removed to a farm in
Salisbury township. After disposing of the farm and
mill property, Mr. Ernst organized a singing class at
Millwood, Lancaster Co., Pa., and conducted it for
several years, exercising the class in mnsic to both
German and English hymns on Sunday afternoons.
This lead to his purchasing a printing outfit and
publishing the "Waffenlose Waechter' for nearly
eighteen years. They removed to Olathe. Kansas,
where they now reside on a farm of 400 acres, and were
influential in establishing the u First Mennote Church"

Mary G. Zook. 1874. P. 0., Olathe, Kans. General
organizer of the Labor Exchange movement and
manager of the Freedom Colony work, and has been
actively engaged in the reform field for over seventeen
years. In 1888 he started out as a devoted and deter-
mined reformer, first as an agitator,, writer, lecturer
and organizer in the alliance and political ranks, for
nearly four years, but being rather apt to follow
practical lines for the sake of true principles he found
that party politics was only a plan to fool working
people while the knaves get the benefits. Hence every
theory which any agitator or reformer presented to the
public, was investigated until at last the correct system
for honest labor to adopt was found in DeBernardi's
Labor Exchange, as presented in his book, "Trials and
Triumph of Labor." This completely covers every
thing else and clear minds can readily see that this is
the only possible plan to follow in order to get exact
justice for all. Mr. Ernst was editor and publisher of
the "Progressive Thought 1 for about ten years, and
expects to again take up that work in the near future.
He has also otherwise been variously engaged as farmer
and carpenter, &c. Menu's. ('.: Phineas, Bertha, Leo.

Dr. Reuben H. Andrews, b. in Bucks County, Pa.,
January 20, 1850. In early life he worked on the farm,
attending district school in winter. When 18 years of
age he attended for a short time the Excelsior Normal
Institute at Carversville, with the object of preparing
for teaching. He taught his first term of school at
Upper Sellersville, then spent a term at the Keystone
State Normal School at Kutztown. This was followed
by another term of teaching in Bedminster township.
About the same time he commenced the study of med-
icine under the tutorship of Dr. Moses Rice, of Hagers-
ville, and later of Dr. J. H. Krause, 6f Plunisteadville.

In the spring of 1814, he graduated from the medical
department of the University of Pennsylvania, and at
once entered upon the duties of his chosen profession
at Kulpsville. Pa., where he soon gained a liberal
patronage.

In the spring of 1870. he moved to Lansdale, Pa.,
where he erected a dwelling. While here engaged in

the active duties of his profession, Ue conceived the idea
of publishing a monthly medical journal, "The Medical
Summary," the firsl number of which was issued in
March, 1879. En 1881, he bought a half interest in
"The Lansdale Reporter," and erected a building as a
home and office for the printing establishment.

In the spring of 1884, he sold his practice and dwell-
ing, and bought a property in Philadelphia, where he
lived a year, and then sold it and returned to Lansdale,
and built one of the finest residences in that section at
the time. Having purchased the other half interest in
the "Reporter" and printing business, he conducted it
himself about a year, then sold it, and soon afterward
moved to Philadelphia, where he since devotes almost
his entire time to the medical journal, doing only a
select practice. The "Medical Summary" is a national
journal with an edition of over 10.000 copies annually,
and circulates in every section of the country. Baptist.
