PREFACE.
A short account of the Rosenberger family was

carried on with the entire connections in Montgomery
ana Hncks counties and elsewhere in Pennsylvania,

The work will be of more or less interest to the
public Kenerally, but more especially to those bearing
the name of RosenberKer and their descendants.
The family of Rosenberger has been much extended
in Montgomery and adjacent counties, and also in
distant i)ortions 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 de.sceudauts that would
otherwise have been lost.

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 THK ROSKNHHRC.I-R HISTORY
history. That he does not stand alone in this huk is
cvidcnctHl l.y these words from another member of the
family ct.min^; to notice thron^;h a connuunication :
"I shonld like to know something' more of tlie
RosenlKrrKer family : I know all too little of them."
Preservation of and interest in family records
with ns. where prinogenitnre and aristocracy do not
obtain, is. no donbt. largely a matter of sentiment,
bnt it is sentiment that is not to l)e despised. The
matter flavors also to a large degree of duly, and, in
this measure, "it l>ecomcs an incumbency uikjii us.
There are two extrenies into which the human family
may fall with respect to the attitmle 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
l>eople. it is feared, are rapidly drifting into the
other. As we fulfill the divine command to honor
our parents we must needs l^ecome ])osse.s.sed of a
lively interest in those who have gone before and
through our parents have handed down to us those
(jualities which are priceless legacies. While we
might dc-sire a family history to contain fuller accounts
of the characteristics, traits and deeds of our ancestors
than this work does, we shall rememlK*r 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 l>e used as a framework uik)M which
the fancy can build a structure. Among such facts
we find that they left the mother country for the sake
of liU-rty of conscience, that they helped to subdue
the rngged wilderness of the new world, and that
theirs was a religi«)n that taught simplicity of life.
cxjnsistency of deeds and profession, and peace with all
men. lUiilding uiH>n 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 liis
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

bioRrai.hical sketches arc of lhu^e sull living or
recxMitlv deceased. These will he of interest, as they
reveal the nianv d.flerenl walks in life chosen hy the
manv descendants. In the lijiht of the fact that at
first onlv a few vtKMtions were represented by the
family the.<^- will have still more interest. When it is
noted that at hr-^t the family was limited to erne
LxMlity and now is spread over the whole extent of
the United States and (iiiite largely represented m
Canada added interest will follow. Bnt this part will
be of still more valne 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 tlieiu over to posterity.
To Rev. .\. J. Kretz. the author, every one con-
nected with the family owes a debt of gratitude.
The preparation of a work of this character involves
the exiKMuliture of much time and lalxjr. l^sides the
accompaniment of numy vexatious experiences. To
the members of the family who have assisted in
furnishing the necessary data and have helped in tins
and other wavs in kindling an interest in tlie history
of the family, especially to I. K. 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 l^e widely
circulated and accmiplish 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 i8 years and over, and the maiden names of all females of
i8 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.

II
THE ROSENBERGER FAMIEY 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. Rauchenberger
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 ROSENRF.RGER HISTORY
It is supposed that these famiHes 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
Rosenberger, Sr. John Shult 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 lx)ard ship or soon after
the landing in America. It is quite certain that
neither lienjamin or his eldest son, Yelles, reached
the age of 96 years, "therefore it must have been
lienjamin'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 probal)ility
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
'777. •'>ged 63 years or more. His eldest son, Yelles,
was born before 1735 and died 1808, aged 73 or more.
Thetimeof the emigration of Henry Ro.senberger, 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, I'a., and a
considerable number alsc) reside in Waterloo county,
Ontario, Can.
AH '111- earlier iiKinlxis of ihe.se families belonged
ROSENBERGERS OF MONTGOMERY 15
to the religious sect called Mennonites and worshipped
at Francouia and Line Lexington meetinghouses.
Since writing the above we have receiv-ed 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 161 1 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 1851 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
\
i6 THE ROSHNHERCiKR HISTORY
Scientific" on fanning from a tnivtlcr in Austria describing
the SchwartzcnlK-TKer estulc. These oJ)tained the estate after
the flif-ht of the Rosen»>erj4 family. WinterKan is the central
villa>;e. The fish jx.n.l still retains its orij^inal name, Roseii-
iH-rg '"Teuch." I do not know the «late of the article. \Vc
and I'ncle Dave Roscnl>erg, of Ik-tt.sville, 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 rcsitcctfully. M K. RoSKNHHKC.
The article alx)ve referred to and fiirni.shed by
Mi.ss Rosenberjj reads as follows :
A I'RINCHLY ESTATE.
The domain of the Schwartzenbergs' estate consists of
99 cities ami villages and 30,(100 people on one farm. The
extensive and interc-sting collection of ])ruducts of the famous
estate of the Prince John .\d(>l]>h \on Schwartzenberg's
pavillion in Uie National I^xposition has led to a general
•lesire among those interested in agriculture to see for tlieiii-
sches the rich fields aii<l ])crfect ajuwinled fann e.stablishment
thai has brought forth such a wealth of various j)roducts.
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 Hohemia. The
views, landsca]>es and sceneries before our sight while enroute
wiis interesting ami instructive. The Schwait/enbergs' domain
licth towards the northwest from Vienna in the direction of
the Prague, and comprises alH)nt 75,10) acres, of whiih about
4o,(xx) acres is woodland and 2t),tx)0 ai res are under cidlivalion,
while 14,000 acres are covered with water, lakes, etc., the
remainder farm yards, streets, etc. This domain has been in
the |K>sscssi«>n of the Schwartzenbergs" since A. D. l(>6o, hav-
ing iK-en formerly in the jxjssession of the Ri>senl>erg family.
The ilomain rcvertetl to the Crown on the death of the last one
of the Rosenl>ergs', .\. 1). 161 1, antl was presented by the
Cr«>wn to John Adolph Schwart/enberg at the time of A. I).
1660. The jM»pulation of the domain is in the neighborhood
of al)oul io.mxj pe<ii)le, who inhabit 99 villages, of which
Wintcrgan is the residence of tin- 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 Rr)si:xui':R(;i:R, oi- fraxcoxia.
I. Henry Rosenber^cr is believed to have been
the first of the name who came to Montgomery county
as an emigrant from Germany, and was a Mennonite.
He purchased hind in Franconia on November 14,
1729. of James Steele, of Philadcli)hia. For /"30 lie
obtained 150 acres. This was situated alx)ut 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 Souderton and Harleysville turnpike to that
stream, and including the site of the Mennonite
burying ground. Within these boundaries are now
the farm of Jacob S. Alderfer, vSchueck's mill and the
farm of Michael vSwartley. 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 si/e. It bears the date of 1S09 and the
name of Jolin " Schwardle " in ("iermaii, who was the
grandfather (if the present owner. To the luirth is a
modern barn and close to hand an older one. The
latter is the oldest buiUliug about the i>remises. On
tlie wooden beam over the door is inscribed the name
of Henry Rosenl>erger and Barbara, his wife, with the
date of 1755. Tile fust barn oi" all, in existence
iK-tweeu 1730 and 1755, stood more closely adjacent
to the banks of the stream, which was thought haiuly
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 Franconia in 1734 is
found the name of Henry Rosenberger. 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-
THK ROSKNUHRGTR HISTORY
veyinK his plantntion lo his son, luit he jiroljably
rcuuiineii with Ht-nry.
Il is not known when Henry Roscnl)crger died.
He was a Mcnnonite and one of the original wor-
shippers at Franconia, wliere he was also hnried.
The Franconia Meiuionite meetinghouse is one of
Un: typical j)laces 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 jieople it is plain lo
austerity. Many horse sheds encompa.ss it about.
It is built uix)n an elevation from which a splendid
view of hill and valley to the north and west may be
obtained. This overlotAs a dcn.sely 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 Hranch of the Perkiomen. On the
northwest side of the ujeetinghouse lies the extensive
Imrying grouml. thickly dotted with marble tomb-
stones, where repose the dead of many generations.
This congregation is one of the .strongest in
numlK-r, having over 700 members. A conununion
service in the Spring brings out a very large attend-
ance, and the services have a (juaint interest for the
.stranger. The service, beginning at s o'clock in the
morning, lasts over three hours. Tlie women are
seated within the two aisles, while the men occupy
the side i>ews, their liats being hung on long rows of
iK-gs over the ai.sles. In the rear vestilmle, entered
by a side door, is the women's room, where are Iinng
their Ixjnnets and extra clothing. The vScripinres
nrc read in German and several j)reachers in turn
exhort the congregation. The e!eln(■nt'^ of the cum-
DESCENDANTS OF HENRY ROSENBERGER 21
niunion are handed to each member by the bishop,
who has an 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,
Sr. , Benjamin, Daniel, John, Henry, Jr. If there
were daughters we have not learned of them.

1 25 acres on the County Line, comprising the present
Oliver G. Morris and Frick farms at Line Lexington,
of Hljenezcr Kinnerslcy. 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 ])ossession one year.
Henjamin Ro.senherger was of a dealing, trading,
siK'Culative disjxjsilion, and we find him buying and
selling various projxjrties in ilifTerent townships all
his life. His next purchase was a tract of land of 1 1 2
acres in Hatfield, lying further southwest. This was
S6 |>erches by 210 in dimensions. The neighboring
1 ■ lers were James Dunn on the southeast, Jacob
Wviinian on the southwest, John Shooter on the
northeast, and ICdward Warner on the northwest.
This place was Ixjught of David Thomas for /^i 20,
It had iKdonged to a grant of 12 10 acres made to
Jonathan Hayes in 1705. who made the first improve-
nicnls. His only son. Jonathan, lia 1 two sisters,
I 'h. wife of Richard Maris, and Mary, wife of
--. The daughters were the heirs after the
ucMui ut ijjcir brother. They s<»ld to John W'illi.ams
in 1723, who conveyed to David Thomas in 1731.

DESCENDANTS OF BENJAMIN ROSENBERGER 23
We next find him the owner of the late Server farm,
just north of Lansdale, 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 Lukens. 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 Fleisler, 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 FYanconia 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.

or Julius Ro.senl>erger, as he is often called in the old
deeds, inherited the trading, money-making dis-
Ix>sition of his father, and the records of Hucks 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 ;{^4c>o, which
he sold in 17O5. Before 1773 he lived in Springfield,
on the Saucx>n line, a iM)rtion of his farm being in
Northampton county. In that year he bought a farm
in Iknlminsler.on the Hilltuwn border, of George Roih-

iline Kramer, in Hilltown. In 17*^5 he bought

DESCENDANTS OF YELUS 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 Slieriff'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.

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 cabine\mak-
ing trade, and is said to have been one of the best.
He enlisted in the Rebellion September i, 1864, in
Philadelphia, in the 203rd Regiment, Company D,
Pennsylvania, and was a volunteer in the roth 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 Imild and to level ofiF 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, "bo5^s,
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
THH ROSKNnKRGKR HISTORY
sweeping ihe floor he crept to the di)or and felt
n three stories, fortunately falling in a pile of
shavings, and Ixiunced like a ruljher ball. The niill-
\vrij;ht. who was standiiij; there at his work, cau^lit
hini up and ran in the mill, and on examining him
found him unhurt.
Mr Rosenherger was superintendent of L W
1> ' - sawing and planing mill at Ilazlelon, Pa, for
>. In August 1S77 he moved his family to
Philadelphia, where he took charge of Boweby &.
Larish's sawing and planing factory in that city.
In April 1S7S he went to IJloDmsbury. X J, to work
for the .same firm, who had built a factory along the
banks of the Musconnteong. November 30. 1S80, he
moved to Washington. X J. and worked in Daniel F
I'.eaity's large organ works, but owing to the condi-
tion of liis health he was forced to leave his work and
he again moved to Hloomsl)ury in 1885. Having
'lat regained his health and receiving an urgent
::.......: m to resume his position he again moved to
Washington February 24. 1887. After holding his
]K)sitiou for a short time he was advised by his
physician to cptit work. He again moved to Blooms-
bury April 27. 1888. and resided there until his
death. He was a member ot John F Reynold's Post,

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, l)ut
being fully persuaded that it was his duty to close
he resolved to do so. He then moved to Easton, 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 graciously 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-
Iniry 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. M E. C : (VIH) Hannah Adeline Rosen-

sicker May 30, 1 816. He was b in Skippack tup.
Montg. Co. July 31, 1793, d at Colle^eville, Pa.
Jan 12. 1872. He was a grandson of \'alentine
Hunsicker, probably the progenitor of all of the
name in Montg. Co., who came to American in 17 17.
and about 1720 settled in what was then called \'an
Bebber, since Skippack, and now K)asl Perkiomen
Township, The next generation in the direct line
was Henry Hunsicker, who was a noted Menu -
onite Bishop, and preijched 54 _\ ears. He was the
parent of Rev. Abraham Hunsicker, the subject
of this sketch. His ancestors being followers of
Mcnno 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 w;l^' ordained a
minister of the Mennonite church Jan i, 1847, and
sioon aft'-T was elected a Bishop. About that time a
Schism occurred in the Mennonite Inxly, ami Rew
Mr. Hiuisicker was seperated from "the old school."
In 1.S51 a second divission took place, when he
set alKJUt organizing a society. He issued a pamphlet
Henrv A. Huiisici<er.
DESCENDANTS OF ELIZABETH ROSENBERGER 135
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 vSociety of Penna.
About the time 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 Henr}' A. Hunsicker of
founding a Boarding School to furnish his people
better tueans of education. This was accomplished
in 1848 by the erection of the extensive building now
occupied by Ursinus College. In 1 85 1 , 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. Thechurch 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

Fcttc-rolf has held a nuniLer of jniblic positions. He
lias always ^K-en a staunch Repv.Mican. and has taken
great interest in local and state elections. In 1.S82
he waselected ]ustice of the Peace for the tcwnship
of rpiH?r Proyidence. and re-elected in 1S87, but later
resigned to accept a County office. As Justice of
the Peace, he enjoyed the confidence of the people,
and did quite an cxtensiye 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 Co-irts of Montgomery County
from i'sqi until he resigned to accept a more res-
ponsible position in the House of Representatiyes,
at Harrisburg. In 1885 he made his first ap-
pearance in the House of Representatiyes
in the position of Transcribing Clerk. H^s ability
and faithfulness in this position was such that at the
following session he was promoted to tlie position of
Speaker's Clerk, andsoseryed during the session of
1SS7. During the session of iSSyhe wasai/ain pro-
moted, this time to the position of Journal Clerk.
During the session of 1S91 he was filling his position
as Clerk of the Courts, and therefore was not in
Harrisburg. In 18^3 Mr. Fetteiolf again recen-ed
an appointment in the House of Representatiyes for
a still more responsible position, that of Resident
Clerk, and later wa- elected Chief Clerk.
In 1S92 Mr. Fettertilf was unanimously elected
Chairman of the Republican County Committee of
Montgomery Co. and conducted the camjiaign of that
yer r and the followng year so successfully as to elect
the entire ticket with a single exception. In this i)o-
sition he developed great executiye ability, and de-
m«mstrated his shrewdness as a political organizer.
Ill is,,^he was appointed .Secretary of the Slate Re-

Mr. Hunsicker spent his boyhood days on 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
laa IHilHuaKNUEKOEK HlSJuKV
lease to Prof. F. he sold the school property to Rev.
J. II A Bomhroger, I) I)., of I'hiladelphia. who,
in coniKCtioii with other cntcr]»risinx j)crsoiis, ob-
tained a charter and founded I rsinus Colk-^e. In
1S50 Mr. Hunsicker was ordained to the ministry of
the New(Oberholt/.er ) Mennonite Church. On ac-
count of the liberal and progressive ideas in church
w(jrk, a chistu took jjlace in 1S51, which resulted in
establishing an independent church known as Trinity
Christians, of which .Mr. Hunsicker was , one of the
founders, and for which he contiiu'.ed to preach until
1S75. He later connected l;inisclf with Prest)yterian
church, and is now a member of the Moravian
church; the changes in his cliurch relations were
made on account of change of locatic'ii.

public school in Milford Square, Bucks County.
During the four consecutive winters he was a

Seminary during the summer months. In February
1S56 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 FYeeland, (now Ursinus Col-
lege), held A. D. i860, he was, according to the
usages of the church, of which he was a member,

DANIEL ROSENBERGER. OF HATFIEIvD.
\\. Daniel Rosenberger, b in Europe, m Fronica— .
He purchased a tract of land in Hatfield, Iving 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 >^ 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 Ro.senberger.
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
dweUing, 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-
cr.

No information has come down to ns concern-
ing: the personality of Daniel Rosenberger. He was
a Mennonite and worshiped at the churcli near Line
Lexington, where his remains were buried. He
made liis will Au).: 15, 1771. was witnessed by \'alen-
tinel'lrich. John Rosenberger, and Christian I'unk,
and was registered September 23, 1771. The JOO
acres were conve>ed to his son David, and 159 acres
to Isaac. The widow who had the sinj?ular name of
Fronica, was to receive /^ 7 00 from her son David,
showing that Daniel had l)ecome a comparatively
wealtliy man, for those days. C: David, Isaac,

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
grandson, he continued to reside during his life
David Rosenberger lived to be quite an old man-
probably over 80 years of age. Besides the patri-
mony he received from his father in 177 1 he also
acquired a farm of 78 acres in Hilltown, which he
willed to his daughter. Fronica. The homestead of
109 acres was conveyed to his son Henry in 18^1

VI. Joseph Amasa Munk, M. D., was born on a
farm in Columbiana County. Ohio, November 19.
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, (3hio, where he spent .sexeral
years of farm life in work and play and going to a
district school.

icrmincd to join the I'nion army and after ^aininn
his fathers consent enlisted in Co. I. l7.SthC). \'. I.
and with his rejjiment was inunediately assigned to
active dnty in the field. He served as private throuj^h
se\eral campaigns Itoth east and west and in Jnne
1^465, at the close of the war and while \ et nnder IS
years of age, received hisdi.scharge and was muster-
ed out of the service.
After returning home he became a student oi
Mount I'nion college and after attending school one
>ear lie left college to study medicine with Dr. 1). II.
Rosenberg at liettsville. Ohio; and in 1S69 graduated
from the IClectric Meilical Institute in Cincinnati.
Ohio.
He first located at Lindsew Ohio, but soon de-
cided to go west and located next in Chillicothe, Mo.
in 1871. Here he practicetl medicine ten >eajrs; but
not being satisfied with his opportunities moved to
Topeka. Kansas, in iSSi and bought a partnership
with Dr. V. I. Mulvane. The firm of Drs. Mulvane
c\: Munk did a successful business during its eleven
years of partnershiji. In \^'')i the firm. dissolved by
mutual consent, the senior partner Dr. Muh'ane
moving to Chicago where he retired fn)m acti\e
practice, and in iSs72 Dr. Munk moved to Los Ange-
les, Califorina, where he has since li\ed.
Duritig his early years of pr.ictice he spent his
leisure time finding out what else he could dol)eliev-
ing that no man knows what all he can do until he
tries. His love of nature and natural science often
took him to th-.* fields and woods. He studied taxa-
dermy and many mounted specimens of birds ami
small animals ornamented his ofTice. He devo'ed
some time to nnisic and composed a number of songs
tliat were published in sheet form by John Church ^c

miisic as his time was fully occupied by his profession.
In Topeka, as adiversion, 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 flo'irishing conditional the 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
Wdlcox, Arizona where they started a cattle ranch in
1882. In 1S84 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 liad been
written on that far away land. In his search for
Arizona books he found a copy of Hinton's Pland-
book of Arizona which contained a list of a dozen or
mere other Arizona books, copies of all of these
l)ookswere procured and since that time he has been
a constant collector of Arizoniana. In 1900 he pul)-
lished his Arizona Bibliography which contains near-
ly i ,000 titles. During tlie past five years he has
more than doul)led his collection and expects soon
to publish a se^rond, revised and enlarged edition
which will contain more than 2,000 titles.
During the ])ast 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 l)ook 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-
i;s niKlUJSENBEKCEK HISTORV

He married Emma S. lica/.ell of Wei ster, Pa.

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 c<)m]>lete 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 3'ear.
Notwithstanding the time thus taken from his college
work in teaching, by applying himself continuously
l)y night study while teaching and long hours of
studj^ 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,
by 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, lie entered the law department of
the University of Michigan, located at Ann Arbor,
Michigsn, 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 tlie exhaustive quizzing of the
applicants for adrais.^ion to the Bar.

Mr. Monk passed a most satisfactory exaiuina
tion and was duly congratulated Sy this august body
of enuncnt men that composed the Michigan i"'.uj)reme
Court. uj)on his succ -ss and thereupt)-.! ordered that
a license to practice in all the courts of the state as
an attorney, solicitor and coiuiselor 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.
I'nivcrsity, an achiewment that has seldom if ever
been surpa-sed.
Mr. Monk being again out of funds, and it requir-
ing funds to properly open a law office, he accepted
the i)osition '>f Superintendent of Schoolsat Nevada,
Iowa, that fortunately was offered to him at this time.
Having comlucted the schools with success
during the school year and havin.14 thus ol)tained the
funds recjuired, heoi>ened a law office at I)es Moines,
Iowa, and boing aided b>' the kind a.ssistance of
Chief Justice C. C. Cole, of the Iowa Sujireme
Court, the officers of the Citizens National Kank.
and other clients, he obtained at once quite an ex-
tensive law practice, and successfullx- conducteil a
number of important suits in the various courts of
the .state.
During the \ear 1.S77. a gootl opening offering,
he together with his brother. W. C. Monk, removed
to St. Louis. Mo., and oi)ened law offices with the
object of making real estate ami corporation law a
specialty. The\' continued in business together with
much success until 1J>.S2, when by over-application
his constitution was completel>' broken down, and
on the reconunendation of his ph\"sician he jjroceeded
to seek the benefits of a milder climat, and out door
life in Arizona.
Arriving in Southern Arizona, he at once saw
an oj)ening to obtain his ol>ject and in cooperation
with his brothers located a cattle ranch, .gaining the
control of a large body of government land, bv locat-
ing upon the land and building cabins and stockin.i;

water coiisistir.g of springs that were to be found on
the land and tlius in time they seeured control of a
large tract of land, about twenty miles square,
located near the railroad with good shi])])ing- facili-
ties, and although the\- experienced considerable
trouble with the rustlers (cattle thieves) and Indians,
the business venture has ])een a success from the
start. During the years of 18S2 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 tlian 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 ui the territory,
Gen. Miles, who succeeded Gen. Crook in command
of the troops in Arizona after a long cha.se, finally
succeeded ui capturuig the Apache Chief Geronimo
and his followers and brought the whole l)and 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 Kast, 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 6.)0(: or 7000 Indians who
are .still supported more or le.ss by the United States
(jovernment.
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 staitlmg and unlawful incidents
might be told of thier murders, train rob!;eries and
depredations and injuries inflicted upon the ranch
men located near this border country joining Mexico,
on the South.
,s-,» 'MIK HnsKNIlKI{(JKK HISTORY
DiirinK the yciii> i - i 5 ami 6 the crimes com-
mitted in thi-i section of the country by the Rnstkrs
had l>ecome so nuni'-'rous and atrocious that the
cowmen, miners and freiRhteis 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 Jndjje, together with prominent oowmen
for Ptosecutin>» Attorney and Sheriff. After a most
exciting canvass and election, the op]>osition 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; some
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
p' ration of this time. Tombstone and Cochise Co..
Arizona, was as peaceable and orderly as any section
located in the Eastern states.
During the year 1S')3, there ])eing a vacancy in
the I'nited States Land Office at Tucson. Arizona.
Judge Monk was appointed Receiver of the V. S.
Land onice at Tucson by President Cleveland, and
this oflice he held and filled with credit to himself
and the (k)vernmenl for the term of four years.
During his term of oflice many of the Oovernmenl
Reservations upon whicli the various Army Posts and
l-'ortshad 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
Ik- given the sale at ( )M h'ctrt Orand Reservation. This
Reservation is located on both banks of the San Pedro
River, and on account of heavy and continued rains
DESCENDANTS OF DAVID KOSENHEHGEU 18^
the river overflowed its banks, and washed away all
the bridges crossing- the river for nian.y miles in each
direction from the old fort. As it was impossible by
those wishing- to bid orally that were on the opposite
side of the banks upon wliicli the sale was held by
liim the written bid of the would-be-purchaser was
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 maimer to the successful man, and although
rather tedious work, most of the old fort was dispos-
ed of before the sale was ended. >
At this time Gov. Hughes of Arizona, appointed
Judge Monk a Regent of University of Arizona, the
school being quite small and not \-ery successful but
under the new administration <ind the employment of
new and efficient corps of professions, the University
within a few years incroased so rapidly in eliiciencv
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 tlie Commissioners of
the United vStates Uand Office, as Disbursing Agent
of the Land Office, and his appointment as Civil Ser-
vice Examiner for Arizona by the Government, togeth-
er as manager of the Monk Bros. Ranch, as vrell as
his other duties pertaining to the Land 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 Lo-s Angeles, California,
before doing so, however Judge Monk concluded to
spend some months in .seeing the Old World and in
June 19v00, sailed from New York on the Steamsliip
Furst Bismark, Plamburgh-American Line for
P'rance: He landed as Cherbough and .spent a few
da.\-s in Paris visiting the Exposition and greatly en-
IS4 tiieku.seni;ehgek msTt'Ry
joying? the many and to liim then stranj-e sights and
attractions to Ix? found in the one Parisof the world.
In succession he visited Switzerland, crossed the
Alps, twice, once l.y Siniplon I'ass, 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 alonpthe Riviera to Monte Carlo,
visiting the Casino, the l.jrgest gainhling hall> in the
world, where by placing a five franc i)iece on the
Roulette table, he wrn fifty, and on the same day
and hour many players lost their all, and to these
life became a i)urden because the}' were never al)le
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 l>e
found still standing the old walls and the Collsseum
of the old Roman Hmpire, thence south to Naples,
on to Pompeii and to the top of Mt. Vesuvius.
Thjnce across Italy to Florence to the famous Cam-
panile, thtuce over to Venice, the city Iniilt on a
thousand islands, with canaU for streets end you-
dolas to convey the people across the city, engaging
a gondola he pas.scd the Bridge of Sighs that crosses
one of the canals; visiting the Grand Square of St.
Mark. St. Mark':' Church, the wonder among the
churches of Kuro])e. and other points of interest.
Tlience he traveled north through (jermany to Ob-:r-
ammergau where the famous Passion Play is seen
for a season every t en years.
The following extract, taken from the old parish
records of Oberammergau. will explain the origin ol
the play in that village:
"In the year 1633 the pe.st raged so fearfullv
that in the parish of Kohlgrub (three hours fmm
here; there were only two coup'es left, and a man
named Casper Schuchler, coming here to visit hi-^
wife and child, fell l>y the roadside and was buried.
"From that day to the eve of Siuion and
Jud<- a i)eriod of three weeks, eighty-four peopK-

died of the plague; accordingl}', 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 Germany 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 Birthday, 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 hnden Strassa (nnter 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 interes-t 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

WirtemlKrp, the place of liis father's nativity', with
the object in view to obtain whatever information
that lie could discoxcr as to his ancestort' on his
father's side.
After a somewhat hasty and unsatisfactory in-
vesti>;ation by incjuiiinj; of a number of ]K-rsons
bearing: the name of Monk or Munk residinj^ in
Stuttgart and tl:e vilhij^c of Constadt, nearby, as to
facts relating to his ancestors, or an>' facts connected
with their early history. He became satisfied that
in the earlier K^'iK-'^Jf^PTy *^f the family, his j^reat
grandfather erai>i:rated from England to Germany,
changing the spelling of the name from the luiglish
Monk to the German Moonk or NTunk, the German
u having the same sound as the o or oo in the
ICnglish. 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 ICngland,
Scotland and Ireland, to South Hampton and thence
by the Steamship New York, American Line, back
to New Voik.
Tlie 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 \'era
Cruz and other points ai interest in the country.
Then a summer trip through Alaska, to Sitka, jva^s-
ing by the Muir Glacier and clinibing the Davidson
Glacier and on his reiiuii trip passng through
Juneau, to Skagaway, and White Pass, back to
San Francisco. These with side trips to Yellowstone
Park, Yosemite \'alley and the ("irand Canon of the
Col(<rado. have provided him with the recreation
and rest that his health demanded, and w iili renewed
energy and strength he has located and opened a law
office in the City of Los Angeles, California, where
he has sufficient business to keep him well employed.
DESCENDANTS OF DAVID ROSENBERG ER 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 liis 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 xArt, Literature,
Science and Religion, as well as tlie enjoyments per-

After bein^- employed in that i)a]'er for o\er three
years he took a jxtsition as foreman on tlu- Ambler

later. He was ag-ain employed in the Harlevsvillc
News office as foreman, the paper than beinjj- owned
by the A. E. Dam!)ly estate, of Skippack, Pa., and
about one year later, (m May 8, 1S')2 purchased the
establishment from the estate. He was also foun-
der of the Harleysville and Hattleld 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
nothiiio- but g-ood 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 a'^,sociation 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 Montg-omery county that came out for
Ouay in his memorable Irg-ht for control of the
State Republican org-anization at a time when the
Senator's iig-ht was a seeming-ly hopeless one.
Air. Haldeman was elected an alternate deleg-ate
from the seventh Cong-ressional District to the Re-
publican National Convention held at St. Louis in
1806 and was appointed a member of the County
Execu'.ive Committee during- the same campaig^n.
He is also a member of the Republican County
Committee. C: (Vll) Ella C. Haldeman, b Aug- S,

FIRST KOSENIiEKGER FAMILY REUNION.
-o-
Tlie first reunion of the Roseuberger family was
held in Perkasie Park, Bucks County, Pa., on Thursday,
Au<?ust 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
l)egan to arrive, in veliicles of every description, from
the surrounding districts of Bucks and Montgomery
Counties, while the incoming trains brought hundreds
more, until npwards of 1,500 descendants of the i)ioneer
Henry Rosen berger were present. The iirrangements
of the reunion were in charge of a committee wdio had
been engaged for some time in the work of preparation,
and the exercises were si(i;nally 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:oO a. ni.. when the chair-
man. Prof. Seward M. Rosenlierger. of Qiudiertown,
Pa., mounted the platform in the auditorium of the
]iark and introduced Prof. Howard Freed, of Lansdale,
Pa., as the first participant, who rendered a pleasing
piano solo. This was fcdlowed by singing "All Hail
the Power of Jesus' Name." and a fervent prayer was
then offered by Rev. Gr. \V. Hengeii. of Perkasie. Pa.,
after which Prof. S. M. Rosenberger, of Quakertown.
Pa., delivered the address of welcome, to which Hev. S.
A. Ziegenfuss, I). D., of Gerniantown. Pa., responded in
tin appropriate address in which he cited his connection
with the family and congratulated the committee on
the success of the undertalcing.
Miss Ella Geller, a promising young vocalist, of
Lansdale. Pa., favored the audience with a vocal solo,

Many td' u> have lui ddiiht awaited the appearance of

have transpired witliin recent y«'ars to awaken our
expectations to a ^M'eater or less de<i:ree, so that aiiv one

time to time, find his feelin;,'s a«.,qtaled. his hopes excited
and his desires deepened, as these mattt^-s relating to
the Iiistory of the family took more definite shajie.
The very first announcement from tlie Kditor call-

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 lineng.' 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 inferesting stiidv.
As we scan the pages of this volume, we learn 'a gre;it
many things that we had not known before. We gain
a better insight into our family history, appreciatiTthe
more fully the noble deeds, the pioneer work, rlie glori-
ous achievements, the arduous self-denials, (he worthy
examples and goodly heritage handed down to us l)"y
our fathers. Our eyes are opened and our hearts are
impressed as we ponder the character of our aiict'stors
in their integrity, uprightness, honesty and nianlv
virtues. Such consideration and reflection cannot fail
to incite us in constantly putting forth the greatest
efforts to prove ourselves the Avorthy descemhinis of
noble sires. What man hath done man can do. It
would be idle folly, therefore, for any one to presume
to rest on the laurels of his progenitors.
"Let us, then, be uj) and doing.
With a heart for any fate:
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait."
While we may reasonably expect that all oui-
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 the volume
a place on their library shelves, but will study its jiagcs
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 properlv aii]u-ecinted. Fre-
Cjueiit recurrences to its pages, and a constant looking
up of its events and names will fill the mind with a
proper knowledge of our genealogy, and eiuible us to
speak intelligentily concerning tlie matters that are
related to us so closely.
