INTRODTJCTriON 

By  Robert  Bruce  Bare. 

While  on  a  visit  to  my  father,  John  Bare,  of  Mount  Union, 
Penna.,  in  the  Fall  of  1894,  I  found  a  letter  in  his  desk  addressed 
to  him  from  Mr.  H.  O.  Lamason,  Number  26  Broadway,  New 
York,  dated  November  i6th,  1887,  in  which  he  said:  "I  am  en- 
gaged in  compiling  the  history  of  the  Baer  family,  or  that  part 
of  it  which  we  find  in  York  County,"  and  asked  that  he  give  him 
any  information  he  could  of  his  own  and  the  other  members  of 
the  family.  In  answer  to  my  question,  asking  if  he  made  a  reply, 
he  said  he  had  not.  I  said  this  would  be  well  to  know.  We 
talked  it  over  and  he  wrote  down  for  me  what  he  remembered 
of  his  ancestors,  where  they  lived  in  York  County,  the  names  of 
some  of  his  relatives,  and  where  they  lived.  I  wrote  Mr.  Lama- 
son and  inquired  how  he  succeeded.  As  this  was  about  seven 
years  after  the  date  of  his  letter,  no  surprise  was  occasioned  by 
no  receipt  of  a  reply.  (During  the  past  year  I  heard  that  the 
information  he  collected  at  that  time  had  been  lost.)  Soon  after 
this,  I  began  making  inquiries,  and  asking  information  from  the 
people  whose  names  father  had  given  me,  but  with  very  little 
success.  No  one  seemed  to  know  of  any  family  Bibles  that  would 
have  the  records  for  which  we  were  looking.  At  Thanksgiving 
time,  1903,  on  the  occasion  of  a  visit  of  Mrs.  Mary  S.  Devor,  of 
Harrisburg,  and  her  brother,  Oscar  F.  Swope,  of  Pittsburgh, 
while  we  three  were  going  through  the  Congressional  Library, 
looking  at  the  many  things  of  interest,  among  which  was  a 
collection  of  early  Bibles,  Mr.  Swope  said:  "I  have  an  old 
German  Bible  at  home  that  has  Baer  family  records  in  it,  back 
to   1749,   and  written   in  German."     Here   at  last,   after  about 


8  GENEALOGY   OF   JOHANNES   BAER,    I749-I9IO. 

eight  years  of  search,  the  old  family  Bible  was  found.  Mrs. 
Devor  brought  the  record  with  her  on  her  return  home  from 
Pittsburgh,  had  it  translated,  and  sent  it  to  me.  This  record 
encouraged  me  to  begin  anew  to  collect  information,  and  after 
about  two  years'  correspondence,  I  succeeded  in  getting  data  of 
the  six  families  mentioned.  This  was  entered  in  a  book  and  the 
book  sent  to  Mr.  D.  M.  Bare  for  his  information,  and  so  that  he 
could  make  a  copy  of  it  for  his  own  use.  With  gratefulness  the 
writer  acknowledges  the  help  and  assistance  of  D.  M,  Bare,  Mrs. 
Mary  S.  Devor,  Martin  E.  Bare,  W.  H.  Gorman,  John  A.  Baer 
(now  deaceased),  Mrs.  Maria  J.  Deshler,  James  H.  Baer,  Miss 
Mary  A.  Bare,  George  Garver,  John  Douglas  and  all  the  others 
who  so  kindly  interested  themselves  in  collecting  and  sending  me 
the  data  requested,  and  without  whose  help  it  could  not  have 
been  obtained.  Mr,  D.  M.  Bare  offered  the  suggestion  that  he 
try  to  get  all  the  information  he  could  of  the  present  generation, 
and  that  I  try  to  get  all  information  available  of  the  early  ances- 
tors. In  compliance  with  this  idea,  the  writer  has  visited  the 
court  houses  in  Lancaster  and  York  several  times,  in  each  case 
with  the  able  assistance  of  some  one  familiar  with  the  books,  and 
carefully  examined  records  in  the  offices  of  the  Recorder  of 
Deeds,  Register  of  Wills  and  Orphans'  Court,  and  has  consulted 
the  Pennsylvania  Archives,  Histories,  Biographies,  Genealogies 
and  early  Church  Records,  relating  to  Lancaster  and  York 
counties  in  the  Congressional  Library. 

We  also  have  had  searches  and  examinations  of  court  and 
other  records  made  by  Robert  C.  Bair,  Esq.,  of  York,  who  has 
made  a  study  of  "Baer"  genealogy  for  years,  by  Mr.  H.  M. 
North,  Jr.,  of  Columbia,  and  by  others.  While  much  informa- 
tion has  been  obtained,  yet  we  have  not  been  able  to  definitely 
locate  the  homestead  of  Jacob  Baer  and  his  wife,  Barbara 
Schelman,  or  their  ancestors.     Even  at  the  early  date  of  1749, 


GENEALOGY  OF  JOHANNES  BAER,    I749-I9IO.  9 

when  Johannes  was  born,  there  was  a  number  of  families  by  the 
name  of  "Baer"  and  the  multiplicity  of  the  names,  Jacob  and 
John,  has  been  confusing,  and  the  custom  of  settling  up  estates 
among  themselves  by  some  families  without  making  court 
records  of  the  settlement,  may  account  for  our  failure  to  locate 
our  Jacob.  To  search  for  our  ancestors,  as  my  time  would  per- 
mit, for  about  fourteen  years  and  then  fail  in  part  to  find  the  in- 
formation sought  is  discouraging,  yet  the  task  in  some  respects 
has  been  a  pleasant  one.  The  knowledge  gained  of  Lancaster 
and  York  counties,  of  our  sturdy  Pennsylvania  German  an- 
cestors, the  achievements  of  the  German  immigrants,  who  valued 
their  religion  and  education,  built  churches  and  established 
schools  and  by  their  industry  and  frugality  did  so  much  for  our 
grand  old  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania,  makes  me  feel  proud 
to  be  a  descendant  of  these  people,  who  until  recent  years  have 
been  without  their  due  share  of  praise  for  the  important  part 
they  played  in  the  settlement  of  the  State. 

The  records  in  this  volume  show  that  your  ancestors  were 
a  religious  people  in  their  various  walks  in  life,  serving  God 
with  fidelity  and  zeal.  Will  not  the  present  generation,  and  the 
generations  to  follow,  each  in  its  turn,  as  the  years  roll  on,  vie 
with  even  more  fervor  than  the  preceding  one,  to  teach  its  chil- 
dren from  the  word  of  God  and  by  upright  lives,  lessons  in 
righteousness  and  sobriety.  The  church  needs  the  presence,  in- 
fluence and  money  of  godly  men  in  each  generation.

lO  GENEALOGY   OF   JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO. 


INTPRODTJCTION 

By  Daniee  Mathias  Bare. 

Under  date  of  January  21st,  1904,  one  Walter  S.  Bear  of 
St.  Louis,  Mo.,  wrote  me,  saying  that  he  was  about  to  begin  a 
family  history,  commencing  with  his  great  grandfather,  Jacob 
Bear,  who  with  his  wife  Rebecca,  came  from  Germany  some- 
time prior  to  the  Revolutionary  War,  and  settled  in  Pennsyl- 
vania. Mr.  Bear  wanted  me  to  give  him  such  history  of  our 
family  as  I  possessed,  to  see  if  we  were  descended  from  the 
same  original  ancestors.  After  some  correspondence  we  found 
that  as  far  back  as  we  could  trace  it,  we  were  of  a  different 
ancestry.  Mr.  Bear  found  about  seven  hundred  persons,  de- 
scendants of  his  great  grandparents,  Jacob  and  Rebecca  Bear. 
He  finished  his  work  and  published  his  book,  entitled  "The 
Genealogy  of  Jacob  Bear,"  in  1906.  About  tliree  months  after 
receiving  Walter  S.  Bear's  first  letter,  the  writer  received  a 
letter  from  R.  Bruce  Bare,  of  Washington,  D.  C.,  which  began 
as  follows:  "Dear  Sir:  I  am  a  son  of  John  Bare  (deceased), 
of  Mount  Union,  Pa.,  and  am  trying  to  make  a  record  of  the 
Baer,  Bear,  or  Bare  family  of  York  county,  Penna.,  etc."  Soon 
after  this  he  informed  me  that  he  had  located  the  old  German 
family  Bible  of  Johannes  Baer,  and  that  it  gave  the  names  of  all 
their  children  and  the  dates  of  their  births  and  other  valuable  in- 
formation. From  that  time  on,  for  the  next  two  years,  consid- 
erable correspondence  passed  between  us.  He  was  making  a 
record  of  the  information  he  was  gathering,  by  correspondence, 
and  in  1906  he  sent  me  his  book  containing  the  history  so  far 


GENEALOGY    OF    JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO.  II 

obtained.  The  writer  made  a  copy  of  this  record  and,  probably 
in  so  doing,  conceived  the  idea  of  obtaining  the  names  and  dates 
of  births,  and  as  much  other  information  as  could  be  secured 
of  all  the  descendants  of  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  Baer,  With 
the  information  obtained  from  the  record  made  by  R.  Bruce 
Bare,  I  was  enabled  to  get  the  names  and  addresses  of  some  one 
in  each  of  the  families  of  the  second  generation.  There  were  seven 
of  these  families,  those  of  John,  George,  Jacob,  Daniel,  Anna,  Ben- 
jamin and  Barbara.  With  the  information  in  hand,  as  above  nar- 
rated, early  in  1908,  the  writer  began  a  correspondence  with  the 
view  of  obtaining  the  following  facts  concerning  each  individual 
descendant  of  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  (Mary)  Baer:  First, 
the  name;  second,  the  date  of  birth;  third,  the  date  of  death; 
fourth,  the  occupation ;  fifth,  the  church  affiliation ;  and  sixth,  the 
present  address.  While  a  good  many  of  my  letters  were  not 
answered,  yet  I  always  was  able  to  find  some  one  in  each  con- 
nection who  became  interested  and  many  of  them  went  to  much 
trouble  to  secure  the  information  desired.  I  hesitate  to  give 
names  of  these  valued  correspondents,  because  there  are  too 
many  of  them  to  insert  here,  but  shall  name  several,  whose 
assistance  has  been  almost  invaluable.  One  among  the  first  was 
Mrs.  Maria  J.  Deshler,  then  followed  John  A.  Baer,  since  de- 
ceased ;  W.  H.  Gorman,  A.  N.  Gorman,  Mrs.  R.  Emma  Hess, 
Martin  E.  Bare,  Jacob  S.  Bare,  Mrs.  Mary  Preston,  Hon.  A. 
Fortenbaugh,  Mrs.  Mary  S.  Devor,  Mrs.  Harriet  Kettering, 
G.  E.  Dunmire,  Mary  A.  Bare  and  Miss  Anna  Spanogle.  With- 
out the  able  assistance  of  these  just  named  and  many  others,  the 
book  as  now  presented  cOuld  not  have  been  published.  They 
therefore  all  have  my  sincere  thanks  for  their  valuable  aid,  and 
for  the  inspiration  their  letters  gave  me. 

As  to  the  nationality  of  our  ancestors,  we  have  not  been 
fully  able  to  satisfy  ourselves  beyond  the  fact  that  they  were 


12  •     GENEALOGY   OF   JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO. 

German  speaking  people  and  that  Anna  Maria  (Beistein)  Baer 
came  from  Ober  Muldan,  Darmstadichen,  Germany.  That  fact 
is  estabHshed  by  the  Bible  record  of  Johannes  Baer. 

The  same  record  also  states  the  fact  that  Johannes  Baer 
was  bom  in  Lancaster  county,  Pa.,  and  that  his  father's  name 
was  Jacob  and  his  mother's  maiden  name  was  Barbara  Schel- 
man,  but  we  have  no  certain  information  as  to  where  Jacob  was 
born.  From  the  Pennsylvania  State  record  at  Harrisburg,  we 
have  obtained  the  following  information :  On  the  vessel  "Joyce," 
Captain  William  Ford,  Master,  sailed  from  Rotterdam  and  ar- 
rived in  Philadelphia  November  30th,  1730,  there  were  the 
following  persons :  John  Bear,  aged  40 ;  Anna  Maria  Bear,  aged 
43;  Hans  Jacob  Bear,  aged  17;  Maria  Barbara  Bear,  aged  16 
and  Hendrick  Bear  aged  6  years.  These  names  were  all  re- 
corded on  the  same  page  and  under  the  above  date,  and  were 
probably  all  of  the  same  family,  and  I  think  it  is  not  improbable 
that  the  Hans  Jacob  Bear,  aged  17,  in  1730,  is  the  father  of  our 
Johannes, 

If  Hans  Jacob  is  our  ancestor,  the  question  then  arises, 
what  part  of  Germany  did  he  come  from? 

Robert  C.  Bair,  Esq.,  of  York,  who  has  probably  made  a 
more  exhaustive  study  of  the  ancestry  of  the  Baer  families  than 
any  one  else,  believes  that  the  ancestors  of  our  line  came  from 
Switzerland  and  were  of  the  Swiss  Mennonites,  who  emigrated 
to  this  country  in  large  numbers  from  1700  to  1750.  Many  of 
the  Baers  of  Lancaster  County  without  a  doubt  trace  their  origin 
back  to  Switzerland,  but  from  the  investigation  we  have  made, 
we  have  been  unable  to  do  so.  In  fact  we  believe  that  our 
ancestors  emigrated  from  the  Palatinate  in  Germany,  for  reasons 
which  we  will  here  state.  First,  Anna  Maria  Beistien,  or  Beil- 
stien,  the  wife  of  Johannes  Baer,  was  a  native  of  the  "Village 


GENEALOGY   OE   JOHANNES   BAER;,    I749-I9IO,  I3 

of  Ober  Muldan  Lichtenberg,  and  in  the  Landgraviate  of 
Damstadichen."  This  fact  is  plainly  written  in  the  family  Bible 
of  Johannes  Baer  and  is  therefore  indisputable.  Second, 
Johannes  Baer  would  be  much  more  likely  to  take  as  his  wife  a 
woman  who  came  from  the  country  of  his  father  and  grand- 
father, than  from  another  country.  From  the  best  evidence  so 
far  obtained,  we  conclude  that  our  ancestors,  the  families  of 
Jacob  and  Johannes  Baer,  belonged  to  the  Reformed  Church  and 
not  to  the  Mennonite.  This  we  think  is  pretty  certain  from  the 
fact  that  Johannes  Baer,  in  his  family  record,  says  that  he  en- 
tered into  the  state  of  matrimony,  October  26th,  1772,  in  the 
town  of  Lancaster,  at  the  house  of  Pastor  Rev.  Charles  Lewis 
Boehme.  Hence  there  can  be  no  doubt  but  that  the  Rev.  Boehme 
was  the  pastor  of  the  family  of  Jacob  Bear.  And  this  fact  is 
confirmed  by  the  statement  of  Daniel  Bare,  ninth  child  of 
Johannes  Baer,  who  said  that  his  father's  family  were  members 
of  the  Reformed  Church.  We  think  therefore  that  the  fact  is 
indisputable,  that  the  families  of  Jacob  and  Johannes  Bear  were 
thus  connected  with  the  Reformed  Church.  But  whether  Hans 
Jacob  Bear,  above  mentioned,  was  our  ancestor  or  not,  is  not  so 
certain.  Yet  we  are  rather  inclined  to  the  idea  that  he  was,  and 
as  he  sailed  from  Rotterdam,  that  would  indicate  that  he  came 
from  the  same  Province  that  his  son's  wife,  Anna  Maria 
Beistien  came  from,  as  that  would  be  the  proper  port  for  emi- 
grants to  sail  from,  who  came  from  the  Palatinate.  We  there- 
fore conclude  that  it  is  not  at  all  probable  that  Jacob  Baer  and 
his  ancestors  were  Mennonites,  when  we  know  that  he  and  his 
family  were  members  of  the  Reformed  Church,  at  least  as  early 
as  1772.  And  this  conclusion  is  much  strengthened  by  the  well- 
known  fact  that  denominational  lines  were  drawn  much  closer 
one  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago  than  at  the  present  time. 

It  is  therefore  a  well  established  fact  that  our  ancestors  were 


14  GENEALOGY    OF    JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO. 

a  religious  people,  and  their  descendants  have  been  a  law  abiding 
and  home  loving  people,  who  generally  identified  themselves 
with  the  churches  in  the  localities  in  which  they  lived.  The  im- 
mediate descendants  of  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  Baer  were 
mostly  farmers,  as  we  believe  their  ancestors  were. 

We  do  not  believe  that  our  ancestors  in  their  native  country 
belonged  to  the  aristocracy,  or  to  the  barons,  who  held  large 
estates  and  castles  in  Germany,  but  think  rather  that  they  were 
of  the  common  people,  as  most  of  their  descendants  have  been. 
They  were  of  that  class  that  Mr.  Lincoln  once  spoke  of,  when 
he  said,  "The  Lord  must  have  loved  the  common  people,  or 
he  would  not  have  made  so  many  of  them."  However  many 
of  their  descendants  have  become  wealthy  and  prominent  in 
many  walks  of  life,  and  this  is  much  more  to  their  credit  than  if 
they  had  been  high  born  and  were  now  descending  the  scale  of 
good  citizenship,  instead  of  advancing,  as  we  believe  our  people 
are.  In  the  search  for  the  descendants  of  Johannes  and  Anna 
Maria  Baer,  we  have  found  about  1400  persons  scattered  over 
many  States.  We  have  made  a  record  of  their  births  and 
deaths,  occupations,  church  affiliation  and  present  addresses,  as 
far  as  obtainable.  We  also  have  recorded  all  the  history  of 
each  person  that  has  been  sent  us.  In  many  cases  we  would 
have  been  pleased  to  have  given  a  fuller  account  of  persons  than 
we  were  able  to  obtain.  We  could  only  record  what  was  sent 
us,  and  this  fact  will  account  for  some  records  being  much  more 
complete  than  others.  The  same  thing  is  true  in  reference  to 
the  portraits  that  have  been  inserted  in  the  book.  Some  families 
have  responded  much  more  freely  to  our  request  for  photographs 
than  others.  Our  work  is  now  about  complete  and  we  submit 
the  same  to  our  subscribers  in  the  hope  that  the  perusal  of  its 
pages  may  prove  a  pleasant  and  profitable  pastime  to  all  who 
mav  be  interested  in  it.     Some  errors  mav  be  found  in  the  book, 


GENEALOGY    OF    JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO.  I5 

but  we  have  labored  hard  to  make  it  as  nearly  correct  as  it  was 
possible  to  do  with  the  material  obtainable.

"THK   NAIVlE 

As  to  the  name,  we  think  the  German  name  of  our  ancestors 
was  spelled  Bar,  and  this  name,  we  have  been  informed  by  a 
German,  who  also  speaks  English,  depends  for  its  meaning  on 
whether  it  is  used  in  speaking  of  a  person  or  of  a  beast.  To 
illustrate  his  meaning,  he  gave  this  example:  "Henry  Bar, 
while  hunting  on  the  mountain,  shot  a  bar.  The  first  Bar  being 
a  person's  name,  would  be  transcribed  into  English  "Baer,"  the 
"a"  in  English  being  "ae."  The  second  bar  meaning  an  animal, 
would  be  translated  "bear."  This  corresponds  with  the  trans- 
lation of  our  German  Bible,  which  will  be  referred  to  further  on 
in  this  volume. 

In  the  first  United  States  Census,  which  was  taken  in  1790, 
our  ancestor,  Johannes  Baer  (Bar)  is  recorded  as  John  Barr,  of 
Newbury  Township,  York  county.  Pa.,  having  the  following 
family:  Males  of  16  years  and  upwards,  i ;  males  under  16  years 
of  age,  7;  and  females  including  heads  of  family,  3.  This  cor- 
responds exactly  with  our  Bible  record  as  to  the  number  of 
persons.  This  record,  however,  would  no  doubt  be  the  census 
enumerator's  own  translation,  as  he  would  find  Johannes  Bar  and 
his  family  German  speaking  and  German  writing  people,  and 
would  proceed  to  translate  and  make  his  record  in  English, 
which  we  find  to  be  John  Barr.  However,  we  have  found  no 
record  that  our  ancestor  ever  wrote  his  name  Barr,  but  we  find 
in  the  York  county  records,  that  in  five  different  deeds,  in  which 
land  was  conveyed  to  him,  his  name  was  written  Behr.  These 
deeds  were  written  between  the  years  1770  and  1798.  And  we 
also  find,  that  in  four  other  deeds,  in  which  property  was  con- 
veyed to  him,  his  name  was  written  Bear.  These  last  named 
deeds  were  written  in  the  years  1781,  1784  and  1785.  It  may 
be  inferred  from  this,  that  Johannes  Bar  did  not  write  his  name 
in  English  and  that  the  writers  of  these  deeds  made  their  own 
translations.  We  find  however,  from  the  records,  that  the 
family  name  was  uniformly  recorded  Bear  from  the  death  of  the 
father  in  1798  to  the  year  1826.     With  these  exceptions  in  a 


GENEALOGY    01?   JOHANNES   BAER,    I749-I9IO.  I9 

deed,  dated  April  6th,  1803,  "George  Bar  and  Elizabeth,  con- 
veyed to  John  and  Catharine  Bear,  heirs  of  John  Bar,  50  acres 
of  land"  and  on  May  28th,  1820,  "one  half  of  144  acres  was 
conveyed  to  Daniel  Bare."  With  these  exceptions,  the  records 
show  that  at  least  after  the  death  of  Johannes  Bar,  the  spelling 
for  nearly  a  generation  was  almost  uniformly  Bear.  That  is 
not  only  true  of  our  own  family,  but  of  other  families  of  the 
same  name,  as  shown  by  the  county  records.  The  descendants 
of  Johannes  Bar  at  this  time  spell  their  names  in  five  different 
ways,  as  follows :  Bare,  Bear,  Bair,  Baer  and  Barr.  George 
Bear  and  his  sons,  with  possibly  one  exception,  continued  to 
spell  their  name  Bear,  but  some  of  his  later  descendants  now 
spell  it  Bair  and  Barr.  Jacob  Bear's  name,  1785- 1756,  appears 
in  the  York  county  records  as  Bear  up  to  1826,  which  is  as  late 
as  we  copied  it,  but  he  and  Daniel  were  probably  the  first  to 
change  from  Bear  to  Bare,  and  their  descendants,  I  think  without 
exception,  continue  to  write  it  Bare. 

John  Bear's  name  appears  in  the  Records  as  Bear.  His 
name  is  inserted  on  his  tombstone,  John  Bare.  His  son,  Jacob 
M.,  died  in  1843  ^"d  is  buried  in  the  family  grave-yard  at 
Yocumtown.  His  tombstone  reads  Jacob  M.  Bear.  John  Bear 
had  a  son,  Abraham.  His  descendants  write  their  names  Baer. 
Just  when  Daniel  Bare,  the  sixth  son  of  Johannes  Bar  began 
to  write  his  name  Bare  is  uncertain.  In  the  deed  referred  to 
above,  conveying  one-half  of  144  acres  of  land  to  him  in  .1820, 
it  was  written  "Daniel  Bare."  Benjamin  Bear,  the  seventh  and 
youngest  son  of  Johannes  Bar  changed  from  Bear  to  Bare 
sometime  in  the  thirties,  which  his  descendants  have  ever  since 
used.  The  record  shows  that  after  the  death  of  her  husband, 
Anna  Maria,  wife  of  Johannes  Baer,  uniformly  wrote  her  name 
Mary  Bear.  In  the  Census  of  1790,  there  are  no  names  written 
Bear  in  Pennsylvania,  and  but  five  written  Bar.  These  five  all 
lived  in  Franklin  county.  Then  follow  12  printed  Bare,  12  Bair, 
44  Barr,  and  95  Bear,  showing  a  large  majority  at  that  time 
favored  the  latter  form  of  spelling.

THK   BAER  CEMKTBRY 

The  Baer  cemetery  contains  about  one-half  acre  of  land,  the 
deed  for  which  is  in  the  hands  of  Martin  E.  Bare,  of  Hummels- 
town,  Pa. 

The  York  County  records  show  that  in  the  year  1793,  John 
Behr,  of  Newberry  Township,  with  John  Neff  and  John  Blough, 
bought  a  burial  lot,  near  Shelly's  Mill  in  Newberry  Township. 

There  were  two  separate  deeds  made  for  this  cemetery  plot. 
The  first  one  was  a  conveyance  from  William  Hamersly  to  John 
Neflf.  John  Bear  and  John  Plough  in  trust  dated  February  i6th, 
1793,  for  one-half  acre  of  land,  recorded  in  book  O.  O.  page  426. 
This  deed  w'as  not  recorded  within  the  time  limited  by  the  act  of 
the  Assembly.  William  Hamersly  died  and  willed  his  farm  to 
his  brother,  Robert  Hamersly,  who  died  intestate  and  left  heirs, 
Robert  and  Mary  Hamersly,  who  conveyed  it  to  Adam  Kister  by 
courses  and  distances  without  making  any  reserve  or  exception. 

The  second  deed  was  from  Adam  Kister  to  John  Bear,  John 
Hutton  and  Anthony  Yinger,  in  trust  for  a  burying  ground, 
dated  December  loth,  1813,  and  recorded  in  book  Y.  Y.,  page 
406,  under  date  of  January  4th,  1814,  for  as  much  ground  as 
needed  up  to  one-half  acre  and  their  successors,  in  trust  for  the 
purpose  of  a  burying  ground  for  all  and  every  person  or  persons 
sect  or  denomination,  whatsoever  choosing  to  make  use  of  the 
same  for  that  purpose  and  for  no  other.  This  deed  was  given  by 
Adam  Kister  to  correct  the  defect  in  the  first  deed  by  reason  of 
it  not  having  been  legally  recorded. 

It  will  be  noted  that  the  first  deed,  made  in  1793,  was  con- 
veyed in  part  to  John  (Johannes)  Baer,  who  died  in  1798.  Hence 
the  deed  made  in  1813,  was  deeded  in  part  to  his  son,  John  Baer, 
1 776- 1 840. 

This  burial  ground  is  situated  about  one-fourth  of  a  mile 
from  Yocumtown,  near  the  road  leading  from  Yocumtown  to 
Newberry  town.  It  adjoins  a  fence  between  two  fields,  which 
was  about  the  only  fence  visible    when    Mr.    Bruce    Bare    first 


GSNEAIvOGY   OF    JOHANNES   BAER,    I749-I9IO.  21 

visited  it.  Soon  after  that  discovery  was  made,  a  new  woven 
wire  fence  with  locust  posts  was  placed  around  it.  In  this 
cemetery,  Johannes  Baer  and  his  wife,  Anna  Maria  and  at  least 
thirteen  of  his  children  and  grandchildren  are  buried. 

The  following  names  and  dates  of  births  and  deaths  were 
taken  from  the  tombstones: 

Jacob  Bar,  born  August  29th,   1773,  and  died  May   15th, 

1785. 

Johannes  Baer,  born  September  29th,  1749  and  died  Novem- 
ber I  St,  1798. 

Mary   Bear,   bom   June   22nd,    1749   and   died   May   20th, 
1825. 

David  Bare,  born  March  5th,  1782  and  died  May  26th,  1800. 

Henry  Bare,  born  March  9th,  1775  and  died  May  8th,  1839. 

John  Bare,  born  September  6th,  1776  and  died  January  ist, 
1840. 

Jacob  M.  Bear,  born  April  20th,   1803  and  died  February 
20th,  1843. 

Mary  Bare,  bom  November  3rd,  1790  and  died  June  12th, 
1844. 

Jacob  Bare,  born  July  ist,  1785  and  died  August  3rd,  1856. 

B.  Bare  (son  of  Benjamin),  born  May  15th,  1827,  died  Jan- 
uary 23rd,  1832. 

Abraham  Bare,  born  September  23rd,  1783  and  died  Dec- 
ember 1 2th,  1800. 

Lydia  Bare  (daughter  Jacob),  born  June  i8th,  1829,  and 
died  January  2nd,  1830. 

Margaret  Bear  (daughter  Jacob),  born  April  20th,  1838, 
and  died  December  30th,  1839. 

William  Henry  Bear  (son  Jacob  M.),  born  September  17th, 
1840,  and  died  March  3rd,  1841. 

Rebecca  Bare  (daughter  of  David),  born  ,  and  died 

October  loth,  185 1. 

The  above  record  was  taken  from  the  tombstones  in  the 
cemetery.  These  fifteen  names  of  Baers  buried  there  were  all 
that  we  were  able  to  decipher,  as  part  of  the  inscriptions  are  in 
German  and  some  so  dim  that  they  could  not  be  read.     There 


22  GENEAUKJY   OF    JOHANNES   BAER,    I749-I9IO. 

are  also  relatives  by  marriage  buried  there.  Of  these  there  are 
Kisters,  Schumans  and  others.  This  cemetery  therefore  is 
largely  a  family  grave-yard  and  appears  to  have  been  used  from 
1793  to  1856.  We  do  not  think  that  any  interments  were  made 
since  that  date.  Jacob  Bar,  the  first  born  of  Johannes  and  Anna 
Maria  Baer,  is  buried  in  this  cemetery,  but  his  death  occurred 
eight  years  before  the  cemetery  lot  was  purchased.  He  was 
probably  buried  elsewhere  and  his  remains  afterwards  removed 
to  this  family  burial  ground. 

With  a  view  of  having  future  generations  pay  due  reverence 
to  our  dead,  we  would  suggest  that  some  one  from  one  of  the 
later  generations  living  in  that  community  be  appointed  to  look 
after  any  repairs  necessary  to  the  fence  and  to  keep  the  grounds 
in  good  condition,  and  that  the  same  person  also  be  the  custodian 
of  the  deed  for  the  land,  with  such  remuneration  as  would  be 
rig-ht  for  the  ser^-ices  rendered.

EXPLANATION. 

The  plan  of  this  book  is  to  record  the  history-  and  biography 
of  each  family  together,  beginning  with  the  oldest,  and  at  the 
end  of  the  history  of  each  family  is  placed  a  summary  of  all  the 
names  in  that  family,  the  dates  of  Births  and  Deaths,  Occupa- 
tions, Church  Affiliations  and  Present  Addresses,  as  far 
as  obtainable ;  and,  to  the  Left  of  Each  Name  in  the  summary 
is  placed  the  Generation  to  which  each  one  belonged,  beginning 
with  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  Baer  as  the  first  generation. 

We  also  have  aimed  to  secure  as  many  portraits  of  our 
family  connection  as  we  could  get.  We  were  especially  anxious 
to  secure  what  we  could  of  the  older  generations.  Of  these  we 
found  five  of  the  second  generation,  those  of  George  Bear,  Jacob 
Bear,  Daniel  Bare  and  Anna  (Bare)  Miller  and  Catharine 
(Mathias)  Bare.  As  far  as  we  were  able  to  learn,  these  are  all 
of  that  generation  that  are  in  existence.  Of  the  later  genera- 
tion, we  have  secured  something  more  than  one  hundred,  which 
have  been  inserted  in  our  book.  They  are  placed  in  the  family 
to  which  they  belong.  The  figure  opposite  each  name  denotes 
the  page  on  which  their  history  will  be  found.

JOHANNES  (1749-1798)  AND  ANNA  MARIA  BAER 

(1749-1825). 


A  History  of  Johannes    and  Anna    Maria    Baer,    and    Their 

Descendants. 

The  descendants  of  Johannes  Baer  are  fortunate  in  having 
preserved  his  family  Bible,  in  which  he  has  written  a  plain  record 
of  his  immediate  family.  This  Bible  was  printed  in  Germany  at 
Frankfort  on  the  Main,  in  the  year  1768,  and  is  now  in  the 
possession  of  Mr.  Oscar  F.  Swope,  youngest  son  of  Nancy 
Miller,  and  Wm.  B.  Swope.  She  was  the  third  child  of  Anna 
Baer  (1789)  and  Henry  Miller.  Anna  Baer  was  the  tenth  child 
of  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  (Mary)  Baer. 

This  record  seems  to  have  been  written  by  himself  in  Ger- 
many, and  was  translated  April  8,  1904  by  the  German  teacher 
of  the  High  School  of  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  and  is  as  follows : 

"I,  Johannes  Baer,  begotten  of  Jacob  Baer,  and  Barbara, 
born  Schelman  in  Lancaster  County,  1749,  entered  into  the  state 
of  matrimony  26th  October,  1772,  in  the  town  of  Lancaster  at 
the  house  of  Pastor  Rev.  Charles  Lewis  Boehme.  I  was  married 
to  Anna  Maria  Beistein.  She  was  born  in  the  village  of  Ober- 
muldan,  Lichtenberg,  and  in  the  Landgraviate  of  Darmstadi- 
chen,  June  22,  1749,  and  have  by  the  grace  of  God  begotten  with 
her  the  following  children : 

1st.  My  son  Jacob  was  born  29th  August,  1773,  and  died 
15th  May,  1785,  aged  11  years,  8  months  and  15  days. 

2nd.     My  son  Heinrich  was  born  9th  March,  1775. 

3rd.     My  son  Johannes  was  born  6th  September,  1776.

months  and  15  days,  and  the  next  child  born  after  his  death,

The  pastor's  name  was  too  dim  to  read,  but  the  following 
correspondence  gave  us  the  pastor's  name.  August  30,  1908, 
we  received  a  letter  from  Rev.  J.  W.  Deshong,  of  Lancaster,  Pa., 
enclosing  a  letter  from  Rev.  W.  Stewart  Cramer,  pastor  of  the 
First  Reformed  Church,  of  Lancaster,  Pa.,  who  gives  the  follow- 
ing from  the  records  of  his  church :  "John  Behr,  and  Anna 
Maria  Beilstein  were  married  by  Rev.  Charles  Lewis  Beohme, 
October  26,  1772." 

Johannes  Baer,  was  probably  born  in  Lancaster  county.  Pa., 
September  29,  1749,  and  a  few  months  before  he  became  of  age 
and  a  little  over  two  years  before  his  marriage,  he  purchased  on 
June  II,  1770,  from  Peter  Good  of  Antrin  Township,  Cumber- 
land County,  Pa.,  two  tracts  of  land,  one  of  103  acres,  and  the 
other  64  acres  in  Newberry  Township,  York  County,  Pa.  The 
name  in  the  deed  is  written  in  English,  John  Behr  of  Leacock 
Township,  Lancaster  County,  Pa.  The  records  show  that  be- 
tween 1770  and  1790  he  purchased  four  other  tracts  of  land  as 
follows : 

'  April  20,  1 78 1,  from  James  Bane  of  Yorktown,  York 
County,  Pa.,  105  acres;  June  22,  1784,  from  Jesse  Hayes  of 
Newberr}^  Township,  York  County,  Pa.,  50  acres;  June  3,  1785, 
from  the  same  party,  56  acres,  114  P.;  April  23rd,  1790,  from 
Edw,  Taylor,  Newberry  Township,  41  A.  104  P.  In  these  four 
deeds  his  name  is  spelled  Bear.  All  these  lands  adjoined  and 
all  were  owned  by  him  at  the  time  of  his  death,  which  occured, 
November  i,  1798.  His  farm  was  well  stocked  wath  horses  and 
cattle,  and  well  provided  with  farming  utensils,  and  he  had 
about  $4,000  loaned  out  at  interest,  showing  him  to  have  been 
a  man  of  considerable  means  for  the  time  in  which  he  lived.  His 
estate  was  settled  or  divided  in  1802,  his  children  purchasing  the 
farms  as  follows,  each  paying  the  price  fixed  by  the  court.

counties. 

By  the  will  of  Mary  Bear,  widow  of  John  Bear,  of  New-

Abraham,  who  died  between  the  years  1799  and  1801.  The  will 
does  not  mention  George,  Barbara,  Jacob  or  Benjamin.  She

JOHANNES  BAER,  1749-1798. 

Johannes  Baer,  son  of  Jacob  and  Barbara  Schellman  Baer, 
was  probably  born  in  Lancaster  county,  Pa.,  September  29th, 
1749,  and  died  in  York  County,  November  ist,  1798,  aged  49 
years,  one  month  and  two  days.  He  was  buried  in  the  cemetery 
near  Yocumtown,  York  County,  Pa.  His  wife,  Anna  Maria 
Baer,  was  born  in  Germany,  June  22nd,  1749,  and  died  May  20th, 
1825,  aged  75  years,  10  months  and  28  days.  John  and  Daniel 
were  her  executors. 

The  first  born  child,  Jacob  by  name,  died  before  he  was 
12  years  old.  David  died  at  the  age  of  18  and  Abraham  died  in 
the  same  year,  aged  17  years.  Henry  lived  to  be  64  years  of 
age,  but  never  married.  We  therefore  have  only  five  sons 
and  two  daughters,  whose  descendants  we  have  been  able 
to  trace  successfully.  These  seven  children  of  Johannes  and 
Anna  Maria  Baer  all  grew  to  manhood  and  womanhood  in  York 
County  and  all  married  there.  George  was  the  first  to  leave  the 
old  Fishing  Creek  Valley  home.  He  moved  to  Centre  County, 
Pa.,  in  1803.  John  and  Jacob  both  lived  and  died  on  parts  of  the 
old  homestead  farm.  Anna  married  Abraham  Miller.  They 
lived  near  the  old  homestead,  until  the  death  of  Mr.  Miller, 
which  occurred  in  1822.  About  the  year  1836,  she  married 
Jacob  Strominger,  who  died  about  1844.  The  balance  of  her 
life  she  spent    with  her    son-in-law,    Samuel    Fortenbaugh,    of 


GENEALOGY    O^   JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO.  29 

Yocumtown,  Pa.  About  1822,  Daniel  moved  to  the  Jacob  Hal- 
deman  farm,  on  the  Susquehanna  river,  just  below  New  Cumber- 
land, where  he  lived  until  1832,  when  he  moved  to  Huntingdon 
County,  and  was  followed  by  his  brother,  Benjamin,  one  year 
later. 

A  summary  of  the  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  Baer's  family 
is  as  follows : 

Baer,  Jacob,  the  father  of  Johannes. 

Baer,  Barbara  (Schellman),  the  mother  of  Johannes. 

I     Baer,  Johannes,  1749- 1798.     Farmer.     Reformed. 

1  Baer,  Anna  Maria,  1749- 1825,  wife  of  Johannes.  Re- 
formed. 

2  Baer,  Jacob,  1773- 1785,  first  child  of  Johannes  and  Anna 
Maria. 

2  Baer,  Henry,  1775- 1839,  second  child  of  Johannes  and 
Anna  Maria. 

2  Baer,  David,  1782-1800,  sixth  child  of  Johannes  and 
Anna  Maria. 

2  Baer,  Abraham,  1783- 1800,  seventh  child  of  Johannes 
and  Anna  Maria. 

These  eight  in  the  Johannes  Baer  family  are  not  counted  in 
other  families. 

To  enable  the  descendants  to  get  an  idea  of  the  location  of 
the  Johannes  Baer  farms,  and  of  the  homes  of  the  families  his 
children  intermarried  with,  and  the  early  churches  near,  there  is 
printed  herewith  a  map,  showing  by  number  the  places  located 
by  Mr,  Samuel  F.  Prowell.  These  farms  of  Johannes  were  on 
the  main  road  9  miles  east  of  Harrisburg  and  17  miles  west  of 
York. 

Newberry  was  one  of  the  original  townships,  and  a  very 
large  one,  now  very  much  divided,  and  was  first  settled  by 
Quakers  from  Chester  county,  who  came  over  from  1734  to 
1738,  over  forty  years  before  our  ancestor.  Fishing  Creek  valley 
was  rich,  fertile  land. 

No.  I  and  2  House  and  mill  of  Jacob  Baer,  1785-1856. 
Now  owned  by  Samuel  F.  Prowell,  one  of  the  three  farms  of

Another  of  the  three  farms,  owned  soon  after  his  decease  by 
John  Ploughman,  probably  adjoined  this  on  the  right,  Abraham 
Miller  and  wife,  Anna  Baer,  lived  in  this  section,  and  Benjamin 
Baer  (1792)  ;  also  from  1816  to  1833.

now  just  over  the  line  in  Fairview  township. 

4  The  large  old  colonial  house  on  the  Kister  farm,  on 
which  the  cemetery  is  located.  This  may  be  the  home  of  the  wife 
of  Jacob  Baer  of  Fort  Little,  Pa.  This  farm  is  now  owned  by 
Samuel  Hykes. 

5  Baer  cemetery,  about  ^  of  mile  from  Yocumtown. 

6  Fortenbaugh  homestead,  was  in  the  family  probably  100

JOHN  BAER,   1 776-1840. 

History  of  John  Baer  and  His  Descendants. 

John  Baer,  third  child  of  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  Baer, 
was  born  in  Newberry  Township,  York  County,  Pa.,  September 
6,  1776,  and  died  January  i,  1840,  aged  63  years,  3  months  and 
25  days.  He  lived  all  his  life  on  the  farm  formerly  owned  by  his 
father,  and  was  buried  with  his  parents  in  the  cemetery  near 
Yocumtown,  York  County,  Pa.  His  first  wife  was  Catherine 
Miller,  with  whom  he  had  four  sons  and  two  daughters.  She  died 
in  1825.  His  second  wife  was  a  widow.  Her  name  was  Barbara 
Rupp.     He  had  no  children  to  his  second  wife. 

The  country  road  was  the  dividing  line  between  Newberry 
and  Fairview  Townships,  and  his  land  lay  in  both  townships. 
John  Baer  and  his  wife  were  both  members  of  the  Church  of  the 
Brethren.  This  information  as  to  their  church  relations  was 
given  in  a  letter  dated  September  20th,  1908,  by  Mary  Myers, 
1643  Susquehanna  street,  Harrisburg,  Pa. 

The  names  of  the  children  of  John  and  Catherine  Baer  were 
as  follows : 

Samuel,  Jacob  M.,  Martin,  Abraham,  Mary,  Elizabeth. 

Samuel  Baer,  first  child  of  John  and  Catherine  Baer,  was 
born  in  Newberry  Township,  York  County,  Pa. 

Jacob  M.  Bear,  second  child  of  John  and  Catherine  Baer,  was 
bom  in  Newberry  Township,  York  County,  Pa.,  December  21st, 
1803.  He  was  married  to  Effinda  Dunn,  February  19th,  1829. 
She  was  born  April  9th,  1809.  Jacob  M.  Bear  lived  and  died  on 
the  same  farm  that  his  father,  John  Baer,  lived  and  died  on. 
Jacob  M.  Bear  died  February  20th,  1843,  ^nd  was  buried  in  the 
cemetery  near  Yocumtown,  York  County,  Pa.  He  and  Jacob 
Kirk  were  the  administrators  of  his  father's  estate.  This  farm

G^NEAI^OGY    0^   JOHANNES   BAER,    I749-I9IO.  55 

It  would  probably  be  of  interest  to  our  readers  to  learn  how 
we  obtained  the  history  of  Martin  Baer  and  his  descendants.  On 
November  8th,  1909,  we  issued  a  circular  letter  on  which  we 
placed  a  foot-note,  which  reads  as  follows : 

"We  have  now  pretty  definite  information  of  all  the  different 
families,  except  two  sons  of  John  Baer,  1776-1840.  These  are 
Martin  Baer,  who  it  is  said  moved  to  Western  Pennsylvania,  and 
Samuel  Baer,  who  moved  to  Ohio  first,  and  afterwards  went 
farther  west,  and  is  said  to  have  been  killed  by  the  Indians. 
Persons  having  any  additional  information  of  these  men  will 
kindly  send  it  to  us." 

We  received  but  one  answer  to  this  inquiry,  that  gave  us  any 
information.     That  came  to  us  from    Mrs.    Maria    Deshler    of 
Aaronsburg,  Pa.     She  wrote  under  date  of  November  18th,  1909, 
that  she  had  heard  her  mother,  Elizabeth  (Bare)  Jordan,  tell  of 
a  young  cousin,  by  the  name  of  Martin  Baer,  who  came  from 
York  County,  to  visit  his  Uncle,  George  Bear.     He  took  work 
in  that  neighborhood,  but  after  some  time  took  sick  and  died, 
and  was  buried  in  the  cemetery  at  Rebersburg,  Pa.     After  re- 
ceiving   this    information,    we    corresponded    with  Mr.    A.    N. 
Corman,  of  Rebersburg,  Pa.,  who  examined  the  cemetery,  but 
could  find  no  tomb-stone  over  his  grave,  nor  any  record  of  his 
burial  there;  but,  from  quite  an  old  gentleman,  he  learned  that 
the  widow  of  one  Martin  Baer  had  married  a  man  by  the  name 
of  Henry   Mark,   who  soon  after    their    marriage,    moved    to 
Venango  County,  Pa.,  and  that  their  son,  Frank  Mark,  had  at 
one  time  been  a  Commissioner  of  that  county.     With  this  in- 
formation in  hand,  we  wrote  to  the  Clerk  of  the  Commissioner's, 
who  replied,  that  no  person  of  that  name  had  ever  been  a  com- 
missioner of  that  county,  but  that  Mr.  C.  S.  Mark,  of  Polk,  Pa., 
had  at  one  time  been  sheriff  of  the  county.     To  him  we  next 
wrote  and  obtained  the  following  information:  that  he  was  a 
nephew  of  Colonel  Henry  Mark,  who  had  moved  to  Iowa  in 
1855  or  1856.     He  further  stated  that  Henry  Mark  had  two  sons 
and  they  also  raised  a  girl,  who  may  have  been  a  daughter  of 
Mrs.  Marks  by  her  former  husband.     She  married  Robert  Neely, 
whose  address  Mr.  Mark  gave  us.     We  had  at  last  found  the

right  source  of  information  and  we  immediately  began  a 
correspondence  with  Mr.  Neely,  with  the  result  that  we  have 
found  the  names  of  78  additional  persons  to  be  added  to  the 
family  of  John  Baer,  1776- 1840,  as  given  in  the  foregoing  pages.

GEORGE  BEAR,   1 778-1858. 

A  History  of  George  Bear  and  His  Descendants. 

George  Bear,  fourth  child  of  Johannes  and  Anna 
Maria  Baer,  was  bom  in  Lancaster  County,  Pa.,  February  26th, 
1778,  and  died  in  Rebersburg,  Center  County,  Pa.,  December 
31st,  1858,  aged  81  years.  First  married  Ehzabeth  Krape,  of 
York  County,  Pa.,  December  2nd,  1800.  She  was  born  June 
I2th,  1778,  and  died  December  loth,  1832,  aged  54  years,  5 
months  and  28  days.  The  second  wife  was  the  widow  of  John 
Gramley,  whom  he  married  June  21st,  1834.  She  died  August 
29th,  1865,  aged  78  years,  5  months  and  6  days.  Her  maiden 
name  was  Royer.     He  had  no  children  with  his  second  wife. 

The  above  record  was  taken  from  the  family  Bible  of  George 
Bear,  originally  written  in  his  own  hand,  as  per  letter  of  W.  H. 
Corman,  July  13th,  1908.  This  Bible  is  now  in  the  hands  of 
Ellen  J.  Corman,  of  Rebersburg,  Pa. 

George  Bear  and  his  family  were  members  of  the  Reformed 
Church, 

Under  date  of  May  8th,  1908,  W.  H.  Corman  wrote  me  that 
his  grandfather  invariably  wrote  his  name  Bear,  and  so  did  his 
two  sons,  Adam  and  William,  but  Adam's  son,  William  J.,  writes 
his  name  Bair.  Mr.  Corman  says  he  knows  no  reason  why,  nor 
when  he  made  the  change. 

Under  date  of  June  30th,  1908,  Maria  (Jordan)  Deshler 
writes  of  her  grandfather,  George  Bear:  "He  was  a  dear,  kind, 
old  man,  whom  I  loved  dearly,  so  very  even  tempered.  When  I 
was  a  child  I  would  hang  about  him,  he  was  so  kind."  She  also 
says  in  the  same  letter,  "He  and  his  whole  house  were  Reformed 
Church  people,"  and  adds,  "My  parents  (Jordans)  and  all  their 
house,  were  members  of  the  Reformed  Church. 

In  the  Spring  of  1803,  he  purchased  a  farm  near  Rebers- 
burg, from  Christopher  Spangler.  He  at  once  moved  on  to  this 
farm,  cleared  it  out,  and  lived  on  it,  and  in  Rebersburg  the  bal-

ance  of  his  life.  He  was  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  there  for  many 
years.  He  was  a  man  of  sound  judgment  and  of  sterHng  integ- 
rity. Hence,  but  few  appeals  were  taken  from  his  docket  to  a 
higher  court.  The  local  newspaper,  at  the  time  of  his  death, 
spoke  of  him  in  part  as  follows :  "In  the  decease  of  Esquire 
Bear,  the  people  of  the  community  have  lost  a  worthy  and  benev- 
olent citizen,  the  Church  a  veteran  and  devoted  member  and 
humanity  a  faithful  and  generous  friend."  His  descendants, 
which  are  many,  may  well  revere  and  honor  his  memory.  His 
large  family  nearly  all  lived  on  farms  in  that  vicinity.  The 
families  were  generally  allied  with  the  Reformed  and  Lutheran 
Churches. 

George  and  Elizabeth  (Krape)  Bear  had  ten  children,  as 
follows : 

John,  Catherine,  David,  Elizabeth,  Jacob,  William,  Adam, 
Anna  Mary,  Rachel,  Anna.

was  born  in  York  County,  Pa.,  June  i8th,  1801.  He  married

Pa.  John 'Bear  died  January  loth,  1852,  and  was  buried  at 
Heckman's  Cemetery,  near  Penn  Hall,  Pa.  His  wife,  Elizabeth, 
died  and  was  buried  in  the  same  cemetery  with  her  husband. 
They  had  the  following  children :

Jordan,  was  born  in  Center  County,  Pa.,  January  nth,  1842. 
She  married  Major  M.  E.  Hess,  of  Knox,  June  26,  1898.  He 
was  a  veteran  of  the  Civil  War,  and  a  member  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church,  a  Christian  gentleman,  and  died  February 
23rd,  1904,  aged  77  years.  From  the  Central  Pennsylvania 
History  of  1898,  Page  305,  we  quote  the  following:  "Miss 
Emma  Jordan  was  born  January  nth,  1842.  Her  health  was 
not  sufficiently  strong  during  her  girlhood  to  permit  her  to  gratify 
her  wish  for  a  collegiate  education,  but  after  completing  a  course 
in  the  common  schools,  she  attended  the  Academy  at  Aaronsburg, 
Pa.,  and  her  fine  mental  powers  have  assimilated  through  reading 
and  observation,  an  unusual  amount  of  information.  She  is 
highly  accomplished  and  was  at  one  time  especially  proficient  in 
music.  During  the  last  years  of  her  parents'  life  she  gave  them 
the  most  devoted  and  watchful  care,  ministering  to  their  every 
want,  and  brightening  their  hours  of  pain  or  weariness  with  filial 
love.  Her  kindness  of  heart  has  found  a  wide  field  of  expression 
in  generous  assistance  to  different  charities,  and  she  has  done 
much  for  the  Reformed  Church,  of  which  she  is  a  consistent 
member.  Neither  is  she  lacking  in  business  ability.  Her  man- 
agement of  her  father's  estate  as  Executrix,  under  the  will,  shows 
rare  tact,  discretion  and  firmness  of  character.  Since  her  hus- 
band's death  she  has  done  a  great  amount  of  travelling  through 
the  Southern  as  well  as  Western  States,  spending  the  Winter  of 
1906  in  California.  She  sold  out  in  Knox,  Pa.,  in  1907,  and 
moved  to  Lock  Haven,  Pa.,  her  present  residence.  Her  husband, 
Michael  Edick  Hess,  was  born  in  Herkemier  County,  N.  Y.,  in 
1826.  Few  men  have  been  better  known  in  Venango-Clarion 
oil  fields  for  the  past  thirty  years.  Mr.  Hess  is  a  peculiarly  or 
self-made  made  from  a  wee  boy.  At  twelve  he  did  inland  com- 
merce on  the  Erie  Canal.  At  sixteen  he  was  a  student  at  Fayett- 
ville  Academy,  N.  Y.,  and  was  companion  of  William  Cleveland, 
and  often  saw  his  younger  brother,  Grover,  former  President  of 
the  nation.  At  eighteen,  teaching,  etc.  For  fifteen  years  he 
dealt  in  lumber  shipping  from  Catteraugus  County,  N.  Y.,  to 
Pittsburg  and  Cincinnati,  and  into  Kentucky.  Here  he  saw 
slavery  in  its  milder  form  face  to  face.  The  Civil  War  disturbed 
the  lumber  trade,  which  the  panic  of  1857  had  somewhat  already

demoralized.  Mr.  Hess  then  began  oil  operations  at  Mecca, 
Ohio.  In  August,  1862,  in  the  call  for  troops  from  Ohio,  he  was 
the  first  man  to  put  his  name  down  of  those  who  fonned  the 
105th  O.  V.  I.  For  a  year  this  regiment  met  the  terrors  of 
Morgan,  the  raider  in  Kentucky.  Mr.  Hess  was  disabled  and 
honorably  discharged.  Later  he  re-enlisted,  and  was  promoted 
from  First  Lieutenant  to  Major,  and  was  in  active  service  until 
the  close  of  the  war. — Venango  Vindicator.

week's  issue,  was  'jy  years  of  age,  when  the  summons  came  to  him 
Tuesday  evening,  February  23rd,  1904,  to  "come  up  higher,"  and 
his  spirit  passed  out  to  a  new  sphere.  Mr.  Hess  was  in  every 
way  worthy  of  and  prepared  for  his  promotion.  It  came  to  him 
while  his  physical  and  mental  forces  were  yet  unabated  and 
while  his  heart,  his  head  and  his  hands  were  full  of  work  for 
the  betterment  of  mankind  and  the  glory  of  his  Creator.  As  a 
man  of  God,  it  is  again  true  that  he  "walked  with  God"  in  the 
purposes  of  his  life,  "and  was  not,  for  God  took  him."  Being  an 
earnest,  sincere  Christian,  faithful  in  all  things,  it  follows  that 
his  home  was  a  type  of  the  heaven  it  was  his  purpose  to  gain. 
Thoughtful,  loving  and  kind,  his  wife  was  united  with  him  in 
affection,  such  as  characterizes  a  true  home.  His  genial,  cheerful 
spirit  made  him  a  blessing  in  the  social  life  of  the  community 
where  he  resided.  As  a  citizen,  h^  always  stood  nobly  for  those 
things  which  would  purify  and  uplift  the  community  and  was 
active  in  performing  conscientiously  every  duty  he  owed  to  the 
people  and  gave  much  time  to  discharging  official  obligations  en- 
trusted to  him.  In  all  the  relations  of  life,  his  words,  his  actions 
and  his  character  contributed  to  the  sum  of  human  good.  An 
honor  to  his  race  in  his  day  and  generation,  he  has  laid  down 
labor  for  rest,  trial  for  triumph.  In  politics  he  was  a  Republican.

GENEAUXiY  OF  JOHANNES  BAER,   I749-I9IO.  II3 


BARBARA  BAER  MUSSER,  1779-1823. 

Barbara  Baer,  the  fifth  child  of  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria 
Baer,  was  born*  September  28th,  1779,  and  died  November  i8th, 
1823,  aged  44  years,  4  months  and  15  days.  She  was  married  to 
Christian  Musser,  who  took  out  letters  of  administration  to  settle 
up  her  estate  on  June  6th,  1826. 

Christian  Musser  was  born  April  5th,  1771,  and  died  Feb- 
ruary 15th,  1835,  aged  53  years,  10  months  and  10  days. 

Christian  and  Barbara  Musser  had  one  son,  John  B.  Mosser, 
born  February  4th,  1809,  and  died  April  4th,  1848,  aged  39  years 
and  2  months. 

John  B.  Mosser  had  two  children,  Henry  and  Benjamin. 

Henry  Mosser,  first  child  of  John  B.  Mosser,  was  born  April 
9th,  1838,  and  died  May  i6th,  1838,  aged  i  month  and  7  days. 

Benjamin  Mosser,  second  child  of  John  B.  Mosser,  was  bom 
November  22nd,  1846,  and  died  October  22nd,  1847,  aged  11 
months. 

The  greater  part  of  the  foregoing  information  was  taken 
from  the  inscription  on  tomb-stones  in  Mt.  Olivet  Cemetery,  New 
Cumberland,  Pa.  The  remains  of  this  family  it  is  said  were 
removed  to  this  cemetery  from  an  obscure  burial  place  in  York 
County,    (probably   from  the   Baer  Cemetery). 

This  appears  to  be  about  all  the  infomiation  that  we  have 
been  able  to  obtain  of  the  Christian  and  Barbara  (Baer)  Musser 
family,  although  we  have  made  diligent  search  for  additional 
facts.  We  however  do  not  understand  that  they  had  no  other 
children,  except  their  son  John  B.  Mosser,  nor  that  John  B.  had 
no  other  children  but  Henry  and  Benjamin,  who  were  buried 
with  their  father  and  grandparents  at  New  Cumberland,  Pa.  On 
the  contrary,  we  are  strongly  impressed  with  the  idea  that  Chris- 
tian and  Barbara  (Baer)  Musser  have  other  descendants,  besides 
those  named,  probably  a  number  of  them,  but  we  failed  to  find 
them  up  to  the  time  our  manuscript  was  placed  in  the  printer's 

(8)

hands.  We  hope  however  that  some  reader  of  our  history  will 
be  able  yet  to  furnish  additional  information  of  this  family. 

The  Mussers  or  Mossers  were  among  the  early  settlers  of 
Eastern  Pennsylvania.  In  the  census  of  1790,  we  find  thirty 
different  families  in  the  three  counties  of  Berks,  Lancaster  and 
York.  Among  the  names  of  the  heads  of  these  early  families 
were  John,  Christian,  Peter,  Michael,  Henry,  Daniel  and  one 
Benjamin.     All  familiar  names  of  the  later  generations. 

The  Mossers,  as  they  now  generally  write  their  name,  have 
been  a  prominent  family  for  the  past  two  hundred  years.  Chris- 
tian Mosser  was  a  native  of  Berne,  Switzerland.  His  son  Henry, 
of  Fairview  Township,  York  County,  was  a  blacksmith,  farmer 
and  preacher  of  the  Dunkard  Society.  He  married  Susannah 
Neflf,  whose  father  owned  the  Columbia  Ferry,  which  Washing- 
ton crossed  when  Congress  was  convened  at  York,  and  on  one 
occasion,  this  lady,  when  a  child  of  ten  years,  had  the  honor 
of  sitting  on  Washington's  knee  while  her  mother  was  preparing 
breakfast.  Henry  Mosser's  son,  Daniel,  became  a  bishop  of  the 
Mennonite  Reformed  church  of  Lancaster  County. 

Benjamin  Henry  Mosser,  who  was  married  to  Elizabeth 
Rupley,  had  three  brothers — John,  New  Cumberland,  a  farmer; 
Joseph,  a  Methodist  minister,  who  removed  to  Decatur,  111.,  and 
Daniel  referred  to  above,  a  physician  and  a  bishop  of  the  Menno- 
nite church.  Benjamin  Henry  Mosser  had  a  son,  Henry  R. 
Mosser,  of  New  Cumberland,  who  was  a  member  of  the  National 
Whig  Convention  of  1852,  that  nominated  General  Winfield 
Scott  for  the  Presiedncy.  He  died  in  1859.  His  son,  the  Rev. 
Benjamin  Henry  Mosser,  D.  D.,  is  at  this  time  the  able  District 
Superintendent  of  the  Juniata  District  of  the  Central  Pennsyl- 
vania Conference  of  the  Methodist  church,  to  whom  we  are  in- 
debted for  part  of  the  above  information.

JACOB  BARE,    1 785-1 856. 

V  History  of  Jacob  Bare  and  His  Descendants. 

Jacob  Bare,  eighth  child  of  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  Baer, 
was  born  July  i,  1785,  in  Newberry  Township,  York  County, 
Pa.,  and  died  August  5,  1856,  aged  71  years,  i  month  and  3  days. 
He  was  buried  in  the  family  cemetery  near  Yocumtown,  Pa. 
He  was  first  married  to  Mary  Epply,  April  28,  1807,  who  was 
born  November  3,  1790,  and  died  June  12,  1844.  His  second 
wife  was  Nancy  Epply,  sister  of  Mary,  who  had  first  been  mar- 
ried to  a  man  by  the  name  of  Grubb.  She  was  born  November 
6,  1794,  and  died  January  20,  1874,  aged  79  years.  He  pur- 
chased one  of  the  farms  owned  by  his  father  and  lived  there  all 
his  life.  He  built  the  large  stone  grist  mill  in  1835,  "ow  owned 
by  Samuel  F.  Prowell  (1907).  He  was  a  strong  man;  5  ft.  11 
in.  tall,  and  weighed  200  pounds.  Under  date  of  September  20, 
1908,  Mary  Myers,  1643  Susquehanna  street,  Harrisburg,  Pa., 
writes :  "Jacob  Bare  and  wife  did  not  belong  to  the  Dunkard 
Church,  though  they  attended  some  of  their  meetings,  there 
being  no  other  denomination  in  that  locality  at  that  time."  In 
conversation  with  Jacob  S.  Bare,  York,  Pa.,  at  Mechanicsburg, 
Pa.,  October  13,  1908,  he  said  that  he  lived  with  his  grandfather, 
Jacob  Bare,  from  the  age  of  5  years  till  he  was  grown  up,  and 
he  always  understood  that  his  grandparents  belonged  to  the 
Dunkard  Church.  They  attended  that  church  and  dressed  "plain," 
as  is  the  Dunkard  custom,  and  they  dressed  him  "plain"  when  a 
boy. 

Jacob  Bare  and  Mary  (Eppley)  Bare  had  the  following 
children : 

John,  Ann  (Nancy),  George,  Jacob  E.,  David,  Mary, 
Elizabeth,  Samuel,  Lydia,  Martin  E. 

John  Bare,  first  child  of  Jacob  and  Mary  (Epply)  Bare,  was 
born  September  8,  1808,  in  Newberry  Township,  York  County, 
Pa.  He  was  married  to  Jane  Hoops,  May  20,  1830.  She  was 
born  June  28th,  1807,  and  died  August  4th,  1882.     He  lived  on  a

farm  in  Cumberland  County,  Pa.  In  the  forties,  or  sometime 
after  that,  he  moved  to  near  Springfield,  O.,  and  bought  a  farm 
13^  miles  north  of  New  Carlisle,  Ohio,  on  which  he  lived  until  his 
death.  He  was  a  powerful  man,  and  weighed  about  300  pounds. 
He  died  at  New  Carlisle,  O.,  June  9,  1878.  They  had  two  chil- 
dren, neither  of  them  living  at  this  date  (1908). 
William  and  Lydia. 

William  Bare,  first  child  of  John  and  Jane  (Hoops)  Bare, 
was  born  in  York  County,  Pa.,  June  20th,  1831,  and  died  in 
Miami  County,  Ohio,  April  i6th,  1897,  and  was  buried  near 
New  Carlisle,  O.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  owned  three  fine 
farms  and  had  considerable  money  besides.  He  bequeathed  var- 
ious sums  to  relatives  and  to  three  different  churches,  and  to 
cemeteries ;  in  all  about  ten  thousand  dollars,  and  the  residue  to 
his  wife.  She,  at  the  time  of  her  death,  was  worth  $35,000.00  or 
$40,000.00.  They  lived  and  dressed  very  plainly  but  set  an  ex- 
cellent table,  and  were  very  hospitable  and  kind.  William  Bare's 
wife's  maiden  name  was  Almira  Thompson.  They  were  not  mem- 
bers of  any  Church,  but  frequently  attended  the  Presbyterian, 
and  at  one  time  seriously  thought  of  joining  that  Church.  His 
wife  died  January  30th,  1906,  and  was  buried  with  her  husband 
in  the  cemetery  at  New  Carlisle,  Ohio.  She  probably  had  a 
birth-right  membership  in  the  Society  of  Friends  (Quakers)  at 
the  time  of  her  marriage.  The  above  information  was  obtained 
mostly  from  Rebecca  M.  Epply,  Troy,  Ohio.  The  following  ad- 
ditional information  was  obtained  from  C.  H.  Mills,  Grove  City, 
Ohio. 

"William  Bare  committed  suicide  on  Good  Friday,  1897.  He 
was  a  very  large  man;  weighed  365  pounds,  and  was  5  feet 
around  the  waist.  Was  6  ft.  2  in.  tall  and  increasing  in  weight. 
He  visited  us  about  six  months  before  he  shot  himself,  and  I 
never  saw  a  more  jolly  and  good-natured  man  than  he  was.  He 
was  worth  about  $60,000.00  when  he  died  and  left  the  bulk  of  it 
to  a  boy  he  had  raised." 

Lydia  A.  Bare,  second  child  of  John  and  Jane  (Hoops) 
Bare,  was  born  in  York  County,  Pa.,  December  loth,  1832.  She 
was  baptized  and  joined  the  Christian  Church  in  1874  and  took

Carlisle,  O.     Her  husband,  George  W.  Brown,  died  in  1901.

GENEAU)OY  OF  JOHANNES  BAEU,   I749-I9IO.  I47 


DANIEL  BARE,  1 787-1869. 

Daniel  Bare,  ninth  child  of  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  Baer, 
was  born  in  Newberry  Township,  York  County,  Pa.,  November 
19th,  1787.  He  married  Elizabeth  Mathias,  a  daughter  of  Peter 
Mathias,  of  York  County,  Pa.,  of  whom  a  more  extended  notice 
will  be  found  in  the  history  of  Benjamin  Bare.  Elizabeth 
Mathias  was  a  sister  of  Catherine  Mathias,  the  wife  of  Benjamin 
Bare.  She  was  born  in  York  County,  June  14th,  1797,  and  died 
at  her  home  in  Hickory  Bottom,  three  miles  east  of  Woodbury, 
Bedford  County,  Pa.,  December  29th,  1856,  aged  59  years,  6 
months  and  15  days.  She  was  buried  in  the  Reformed  Cemetery 
at  the  Reformed  Church,  one  mile  east  of  Woodbury,  Pa.  Daniel 
and  Elizabeth  Bare  had  the  following  children: 

Peter,  Mary  Ann,  Sarah  and  Daniel  Mathias. 

Daniel  Bare  and  his  wife  Elizabeth,  joined  the  River 
Brethren  Church,  about  1839  or  1840,  and  were  consistent  and 
devout  members  of  that  church  the  balance  of  their  lives  and 
died  in  that  faith. 

Daniel  Bare  died  in  Roaring  Spring,  at  the  home  of  his 
daughter,  Mrs.  Isaac  Bowers,  June  i8th,  1869,  aged  81  years,  6 
months  and  29  days,  and  was  buried  by  the  side  of  his  wife  in 
the  Hickory  Bottom  Cemetery  of  the  Reformed  Church. 

Daniel  Bare  grew  to  manhood  in  York  County,  Pa.  He 
was  a  strong,  healthy  man  and  had  a  capacity  for  hard  labor 
much  beyond  the  average  man.  He  was  less  than  five  feet,  six 
inches  tall,  but  usually  weighed  about  165  pounds.  His  first 
large  investment  was  in  partnership  with  his  brother-in-law, 
Abraham  Miller.  They  bought  a  farm  containing  144  acres  ad- 
joining the  lands  of  John  and  Benjamin  Bear  and  Samuel 
Prowell.  According  to  the  records,  this  purchase  was  made  in 
1820,  soon  after  the  close  of  the  war  of  1812-15,  when  land  was 
considerably  inflated  in  price  and  proved  a  very  unfortunate  in- 
vestment. They  paid  about  $80  an  acre  and  they  were  compelled 
to  sell  it  at  about  one-third  of  the  price  they  paid  for  it,  leaving 


148  GENEALOGY  OF  JOHANNES  BAER,   I749-I9IO. 

them  both  bankrupt.  After  that  he  rented  the  Jacob  Haldeman 
farm  on  the  banks  of  the  Susquehanna  River,  just  below  New 
Cumberland,  Pa.,  where  he  lived  for  eight  or  nine  years,  after 
which  he  bought  a  farm  in  Sinking  Valley,  Huntingdon  County, 
Pa.,  now  Blair,  to  which  place  he  moved  in  1832,  remaining  there 
five  years.  Then  he  bought  a  large  tract  of  land,  containing 
1,500  acres,  at  Three  Springs,  in  the  southern  part  of  Hunting- 
don County.  After  living  there  four  years,  in  1841  he  moved  to 
Hickory  Bottom,  three  miles  east  of  Woodbury,  Bedford  County, 
Pa.,  where  he  lived  for  the  following  seventeen  years.  There  his 
family,  who  were  then  living,  grew  to  womanhood  and  manhood 
and  during  that  time  his  children  were  all  married  and  began  lile 
for  themselves.  He  was  a  man  of  limited  education  and  until 
he  was  past  sixty  years  of  age  he  spent  most  of  his  time  farming, 
but  for  the  last  twenty  years  of  his  life  he  was  engaged  prin- 
cipally in  milling  and  merchandising.  During  that  time  he  had 
owned  three  dififerent  flouring  mills.  He  was  naturally  inclined 
to  a  business  life  and  made  a  success  of  it. 

After  the  death  of  his  wife,  which  occurred  in  1856,  he  made 
his  home  with  his  son,  D.  M.  Bare,  until  1863.  Then  for  about 
a  year  he  lived  with  his  daughter,  Mrs.  Andrew  Spanogle,  after 
which  he  lived  the  most  of  his  time  with  his  oldest  daughter, 
Mrs.  Isaac  Bowers,  at  Roaring  Spring,  at  whose  home  he  died  in 
1869,  at  a  ripe  old  age,  honored  and  respected  by  all  who  knew 
him.  He  was  an  enterprising  and  progressive  man,  ever  ready 
to  help  any  worthy  enterprise  that  would  be  a  benefit  to  his  com- 
munity. He  was  a  large  stockholder  and  a  director  in  the 
Woodbury  and  Pattonsville  Turnpike  Company.  He  also  en- 
couraged the  building  of  the  Huntingdon  and  Broad  Top  Rail- 
road, and  held  some  stock  in  that  company.  He  was  a  great 
friend  of  the  public  schools  and  served  at  times  as  School 
Director.  He  was  a  man  of  very  generous  impulses  and  many 
people  came  to  him  for  assistance ;  and,  if  he  did  not  help  them, 
their  cases  could  be  put  down  as  quite  untrustworthy.  He  was 
naturally  kindhearted  and  sympathetic  and  quite  often  was  im- 
posed on.  If  he  had  faith  in  a  man,  he  would  go  to  any  extreme 
to  help  him.  An  incident  related  to  the  writer  by  the  Rev.  John 
H.  Wilkinson,  of  Woodbury,  Pa.,  shortly  before  Mr.  Wilkinson's 


GENEALOGY    OE    JOHANNES    BAER,    1 749- 19 10.  I49 

death,  illustrates  this  element  in  his  character.  At  one  time  Mr. 
Wilkinson  was  in  need  of  money  and  he  saw  Mr.  Bare  on  the 
street  and  asked  him  if  he  knew  where  he  could  get  some.  Mr. 
Bare  said :  "I  haven't  got  it  to  spare  myself,  but  have  you  a 
blank  sheet  of  paper?"  Mr.  Wilkinson  said  he  had  the  paper. 
"Well  then,"  said  Mr.  Bare,  "write  your  name  on  it  and  I  will 
write  mine  under  yours  and  you  hunt  the  money  and  when  you 
find  it,  write  a  note  over  our  names  for  the  amount  you  want." 
He  did  so  and  the  money  was  soon  forthcoming.  He  was  also 
at  times  rather  forgetful  or  absent-minded.  Here  is  an  incident 
in  point.  He  had  taken  a  trip  that  had  occupied  several  days, 
and  on  his  return,  the  last  day  of  his  trip,  he  stopped  at  a  certain 
store  and  made  a  few  small  purchases.  He  took  from  his 
pocket-book  some  small  money  to  pay  for  his  purchases  and  laid 
his  pocket-book  on  the  counter,  but  forgot  to  pick  it  up  again,  .and 
did  not  discover  his  mistake  until  he  got  home.  So  the  next 
morning  bright  and  early  he  started  back,  feeling  sure  he  had 
left  it  lay  on  the  store  counter.  The  book  contained  about  $102, 
but  when  he  got  there  the  book  was  "bare"  of  all  but  $2.  The 
merchant  said  that  a  boy  had  found  the  book  on  the  street  in  that 
condition.     Comment  on  the  merchant's  story  is  unnecessary. 

Peter  M.  Bare,  first  child  of  Daniel  and  Elizabeth  Bare, 
was  bom  in  York  County,  Pa.,  November  7th,  1819,  and  died  at 
Three  Springs,  Huntingdon  County,  Pa.,  January  28th,  1839, 
aged  19  years,  2  month  and  21  days.  He  is  buried  in  the  ceme- 
tery, near  Saltillo,  Huntingdon  County,  Pa.  For  some  years 
before  his  death  he  was  in  delicate  health,  being  subject  to  ex- 
cessive bleeding  of  the  nose. 

Mary  Ann  Bowers,  second  child  of  Daniel  and  Elizabeth 
Bare,  was  born  in  York  County,  Pa.,  September  nth,  1824.  She 
was  married  to  Isaac  Bowers,  who  was  struck  by  a  passing  train 
on  a  railroad  near  Galesburg,  111.,  and  instantly  killed,  September 
28th,  1875 ;  at  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  aged  54  years  and  14 
days.  After  their  marriage  they  lived  on  a  farm  near  Martins- 
burg,  Pa.,  until  the  year  1865  or  1866,  when  they  moved  to  Roar- 
ing Spring,  Pa.  They  bought  part  of  the  Spang  fami  and  Mr. 
Bowers  became  a  partner  in  the    new    paper    mill,    then    being

erected  at  that  place,  in  which  business  he  continued  until  the 
time  of  his  death.  They  were  devout  members  of  the  River 
Brethren  Church.  After  the  death  of  her  husband,  Mrs.  Bowers 
built  herself  a  house,  into  which  she  moved,  and  there  lived  the 
balance  of  her  days,  being  a  widow  twenty-seven  years.  She  was 
familiarly  known  as  Aunt  Mary  Ann,  and  was  loved  and  re- 
spected by  all  who  knew  her.  She  died  April  28th,  1902,  aged  "J"]

elected  a  minister  of  the  Church  of  the  Brethren  in  the  year  1870. 
In  this  position  he  has  faithfully  served  his  Master  and  his  church 
all  these  years,  and  he  still  takes  an  active  interest  in  the  pros- 
perity of  the  church  of  his  choice.  He  was  the  originator  and 
prime  mover  in  the  establishment  of  a  home  for  old  people.  This 
home  was  first  started  at  Shirelysburg,  Pa.,  where  it  continued 
for  some  years,  but  it  was  his  opinion  that  a  better  location  for 
this  home  would  be  in  Morrison's  Cove.  After  some  investiga- 
tion, it  was  decided  to  locate  it  permanently  at  Martinsburg,  Pa., 
where  land  was  purchased  and  a  suitable  and  substantial  brick 
building  was  erected,  where  it  has  since  continued  to  prosper 
under  the  management  of  a  Board  of  Directors  of  which  Elder 
Andrew  Spanogle  is  still  the  honored  President.  By  occupation, 
Mr.  Spanogle  was  a  farmer.  For  a  number  of  years,  however, 
he  was  extensively  engaged  in  the  tanning  business,  and  after- 
wards engaged  in  the  milling  business,  in  which  business  he  still 
has  an  interest.  To  Andrew  and  Sarah  Spanogle  were  born  ten 
children,  named  as  follows : 

Elizabeth,  Albert,  Mary,  Daniel,  Almira,  Edwin,  Anna 
Catherine,  Adella,  Flora  and  Harry, 

Elizabeth  Spanogle,  first  child  of  Andrew  and  Sarah  (Bare) 
Spanogle,  was  born  at  Three  Springs,  Huntingdon  County,  Pa. 
on  the  24th  of  August,  1849.  Her  early  girlhood  was  spent  in 
Blair  and  Bedford  counties.  When  15  years  of  age  she  came 
with  her  parents  to  Lewistown,  Pa.,  where  she  finished  her  edu-

Sarah  Eby,  of  Aughwich  Mills,  Huntingdon  County,  Pa.,  a 
daughter  of  George  and  Susan  Eby.  Through  the  kindness  of 
Mr.  J,  Watson  Ellmaker,  of  Lancaster,  Pa.,  who  has  made  a  life 
study  of  genealogies,  we  have  been  able  to  give  a  condensed,  but 
rather  complete  history  of  the  Eby  family,  back  to  their  native 
Switzerland,  which  is  here  inserted.  In  a  subsequent  letter,  Mr. 
Ellmaker  wrote  that  Theodore  Eby  was  a  son  of  Jacob  Eby,  who 
was  ordained  a  Mennonite  Bishop  in  1683. 

Theodore  Eby  was  born  in  Canton  Zwich,  Switzerland,  on 
the  25th  day  of  April,  1663.  From  1704  to  171 5  he  lived  in  the 
Palatinate,  and  in  the  Spring  of  171 5  he  came  to  America  and 
took  up  land  south  of  the  Conestoga  Creek,  three  miles  south  of 
the  town  of  Lancaster.  Soon  after  this,  however,  he  moved 
twelve  miles  east  and  took  up  a  large  tract  of  land  on  the  Mill 
Creek,  near  the  Welsh  mountains. 

Theodorus  Eby's  descendants  are  now  scattered  over  all 
parts  of  the  United  States.  Many  have  become  prominent  as 
ministers  of  the  gospel,  others  as  statesmen,  lawyers  and  physi- 
cians and  in  other  walks  of  life.     He  with  many  of  his  descend-

ants,  are  awaiting  the  resurrection  morning-  in  many  of  the 
family  burial  grounds  in  the  Mill  Creek  Valley.  He  probably 
died  in  1730. 

Theodorus  Eby  was  a  member  of  the  Mennonite  Church  as 
were  many  of  his  descendants.  He  was  one  of  the  many 
Swiss  Mennonite  emigrants  who  came  to  America,  and  who  left 
Switzerland  on  account  of  religious  persecution.  Theodorus 
Eby's  family  were  all  born  in  the  Canton  Zwich,  Switzerland. 
He  had  five  sons  and  one  daughter,  as  follows 

Hans,  Jacob,  Peter,  Christian,  David  and  Elizabetli. 

Christian  Eby  married  Elizabeth  Mayer  and  Elizabeth  Eby 
married  John  Bear,  a  son  of  John  Henry  Bear,  who  settled  on 
the  Mill  Creek,  one  mile  east  of  Theodorus  Eby's. 

Peter  Eby  was  born  in  1690,  and  all  of  Peter  Eby's  children 
were  born  in  Leacock  Township,  Lancaster  County,  Pa.  Peter

M.  Bare. 

Daniel  M.  and  Sarah  (Eby)  Bare  had  the  following  chil- 
dren : 

Clara  Susan,  Ella,  Ina,  Anna. 

Daniel  M.  Bare  was  born  in  Sinking  Valley,  then  Hunting- 
don, but  now  Blair  County,  Pa.  In  the  Spring  of  1841  his 
parents  moved  to  Morrison's  Cove,  where  he  grew  to  manhood 
at  the  old  homestead  on  Hickory  Bottom,  three  miles  east  of 
Woodbury,  Bedford  County,  Pa.,  working  on  the  farm  until  one 
year  after  he  was  married.  He  also  taught  school  four  terms, 
while  living  there.  In  1858  he  moved  to  Waterside  and  two 
years  later. to  Loysburg,  Bedford  County,  Pa.,  where  he  lived 
four  years,  after  which  early  in  January,  1864,  he  moved  to  Roar- 
ing Spring,  Blair  County,  Pa.,  where  he  has  ever  since  made  his 
home.  He  has  been  interested  in  flour  mills  and  in  the  milling 
business  since  1858.  He  owns  the  Roaring  Spring  mill,  but  has 
had  it  rented  for  some  years  past.  In  the  year  1865,  he  entered 
into  partnership  with  John  Eby,  John  S.  Morrison  and  Isaac 
Bowers  to  engage  in  the  manufacture  of  paper.  A  small  mill 
was  erected  at  Roaring  Spring  and  started  in  1866  at  which  place 
the  manufacture  of  paper  has  continued  ever  since.  He  has  also 
been  engaged  in  general  merchandising  most  of  these  years.  At 
present  (1910)  he  is  President  of  The  D.  M.  Bare  Paper  Com- 
pany, and  also  President  of  the  Roaring  Spring  Bank.  In  poli- 
tics he  has  been  a  Republican  the  most  of  his  life,  but  for  some 
years  past  has  given  much  more  attention  to  the  temperance 
cause  than  to  any  other  phase  of  politics,  working  mostly  with 
the  Anti-Saloon  League,  believing  that  the  temperance  question 
is  by  far  the  most  important  question  now  before  the  American 
people.     He  never  belonged  to  any  secret  order.     He  served  as

Justice  of  the  Peace,  school  director  and  a  member  of  the  town 
council.  He  has  been  a  member  of  the  Church  of  God  at  Roar- 
ing Spring  for  nearly  forty  years  and  an  elder  of  the  church 
for  nearly  that  long.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Pub- 
lication of  their  church  literature  for  twenty-four  years  and  for 
eight  years  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Findlay 
College,  conducted  under  the  auspices  of  the  Church  of  God  at 
Findlay,  Ohio.  He  is  now  in  his  76th  year  and  during  the  past 
two  years  he  has  spent  considerable  time  in  collecting  data  for 
a  history  of  the  Bare  family,  which  he  hopes  to  complete  within 
the  next  few  weeks  from  this  writing,  January  24th,  1910. 

Clara  Susan  Bare,  first  child  of  Daniel  M.  and  Sarah  (Eby) 
Bare,  was  born  at  Waterside,  Bedford  County,  Pa.,  April  22nd, 
1858.  She  attended  the  public  schools  and  completed  her  educa- 
tion at  Grier's  Seminary,  Birmingham,  Pa. 

She  married  Edwin  G.  Bobb,  son  of  Alexander  and  Matilda 
Mattern  Bobb.  His  father,  Alexander  Bobb,  had  rather  a  re- 
markable war  record.  It  was  the  9th  day  of  April,  1861,  when 
the  Confederates  opened  fire  on  Fort  Sumter  and  on  the  30th  day 
of  the  same  month,  Alexander  Bobb  was  mustered  into  the 
United  States  service  at  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  as  captain  of  Company 
I,  14th  Regiment,  Pennsylvania  Volunteers.  This  regiment  was 
placed  under  the  command  of  General  Patterson,  who  crossed 
the  Potomac  into  Virginia,  July  2nd,  and  was  in  service  there 
until  the  time  of  his  enlistment  expired.  He  was  mustered  out 
of  service  at  Harrisburg,  August  7th,  and  on  August  14th,  same 
year,  he  re-enlisted  at  Hopewell,  Pa.,  in  the  nine-months'  service, 
as  captain  of  Company  C,  133rd  Regiment,  Pennsylvania  Volun- 
teers. This  regiment  saw  hard  service,  having  been  prominently 
engaged  in  both  the  hard  fought  battles  of  Fredericksburg  and  of 
Chancellorsville.  In  the  battle  of  Fredericksburg  alone  it  lost  173 
men  in  killed,  wounded,  and  missing.  After  this  term  of  service 
had  expired,  he  enlisted  again,  September  2nd,  1864,  for  one  year, 
or  during  the  war,  in  Company  H,  208th  Regiment,  Pennsylvania 
Volunteers.  This  regiment  was  engaged  in  the  different  hard 
fought  battles  in  front  of  Petersburg  and  remained  in  service 
until  the  close  of  the  war.      For    meritorious    service.    Captain

Alexander  Bobb  was  promoted  to  major  September  7th,  1864, 
and  to  lieutenant-colonel  April  2nd,  1865.  In  civil  life  he  has 
held  the  offices  of  constable,  school  director,  councilman,  Justice 
of  the  Peace,  and  high  sheriff  of  Blair  County,  Pa.  He  was 
born  in  York  County,  March  28th,  1823,  and  was  married  Feb- 
ruary i8th,  1845. 

Clara  S.  Bobb  was  converted  and  became  a  member  of  the 
Church  of  God  at  Roaring  Spring  when  she  was  14  years  of  age. 
She  has  been  a  consistant  and  active  member  of  that  church  ever 
since.  She  became  a  teacher  in  the  Sunday-school  at  the  age  of 
16,  and  has  continued  in  that  work  all  these  years.  For  the  past 
fifteen  years  she  has  been  the  enthusiastic  teacher  of  the  primary 
class  of  that  school. 

Edwin  G.  and  Clara  S.  Bobb  had  the  following  children : 

Ralph  Daniel  and  Chester  Alexander. 

Edwin  G.  Bobb  completed  his  education  at  Washington 
College,  Cannonsburg,  Pa.  He  was  engaged  in  the  foundry 
business  at  Roaring  Spring,  Pa.,  for  a  few  years,  after  which  he 
took  a  position  with  the  D.  M.  Bare  Paper  Company,  and  for  the 
past  ten  years  has  been  its  general  manager.  He  is  also  the 
treasurer  of  that  company.  He  is  also  the  president  of  the  Roar- 
ing Spring  Blank  Book  Company,  and  the  vice  president  of  the 
Roaring  Spring  Bank. 

Ralph  Daniel  Bobb,  first  child  of  Clara  S.  and  Edwin  G. 
Bobb,  was  born  in  Roaring  Spring,  Pa.,  October  24th,  1885.  He 
was  an  amiable  and  promising  boy.  He  was  a  graduate  of  the 
Roaring  Spring  High  School  of  the  class  of  1902.  He  then  went 
to  Juniata  College,  at  Huntingdon,  Pa.,  one  year.  The  next 
year  he  went  to  the  Mercersburg  Academy,  which  he  attended 
two  years,  when  he  graduated  in  the  class  of  1905.  The  follow- 
ing year  he  went  to  Cornell  University,  expecting  to  take  a  four 
years'  course  in  mechanical  engineering.  His  health,  however, 
gave  way  near  the  close  of  his  first  year,  but  he  returned  to  the 
university  at  the  opening  of  the  term  of  1906,  apparently  in  fair 
health,  and  began  his  sophomore  year  course.  His  health,  how- 
ever, gave  way  again,  so  that  he  was  compelled  to  leave  the 
university  again,  never  to  return  to  take    up    his    studies.      He

placed  himself  under  the  care  of  Dr.  Wilson,  of  Philadelphia,  who 
failed  to  arrest  the  disease,  but  later  in  the  Summer  of  1907, 
advised  him  to  go  to  a  mild  climate.  With  the  hope  of  saving 
Ralph's  life,  his  parents,  with  their  family,  started  to  San  Antonio, 
Texas,  on  September  30th,  1907.  They  remained  there  until  his 
death,  which  occurred  November  28th,  1907,  from  valvular  heart 
trouble.  The  attached  clippings  will  give  some  estimate  of  the 
beautiful  life  of  this  young  man. 

From  Roaring  Spring  News.] 

RALPH  D.  BOBB  SUCCUMBS. 
Death  of  Popular  Young  Morn  Casts  Gloom  Over  Community. 

One  of  the  saddest  occurrences  in  Roaring  Spring  was  the 
untimely  death  of  Ralph  Daniel  Bobb,  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  G. 
Bobb,  which  took  place  at  San  Antonio,  Texas,  Thursday  morn- 
ing, November  28th,  whither  he  had  gone  with  his  parents  for  the 
recuperation  of  his  health  nine  weeks  ago. 

Ralph  Bobb  had  been  in  ill  health  for  several  months, 
although  it  was  not  considered  serious,  and  at  the  advice  of  sev- 
eral specialists,  of  Philadelphia  and  New  York,  he  went  to  San 
Antonio,  where  the  mild  climate  is  conducive  to  bring  health  to 
the  indisposed.  During  his  stay  there  the  congenial  climate  was 
apparently  doing  all  that  had  been  expected,  and  he  was  slowly 
recovering,  until  last  Thursday  morning,  when  he  suffered  an 
acute  attack  of  heart  failure,  from  which  he  never  recovered,  but 
in  one  brief  hour  his  spirit  took  its  departure  to  the  eternal 
world.  On  Friday  morning,  November  29th,  his  father  and 
mother  and  brother  started  with  the  remains  on  the  long,  sad 
homeward  journey  of  over  two  thousand  miles,  arriving  here  on 
a  special  train  at  11 130  a.  m.  Monday. 

The  funeral  services  were  held  Tuesday  morning  at  the  home 
of  his  parents  in  the  presence  of  a  large  concourse  of  people,  con- 
ducted by  Rev.  George  Sigler,  D.  D.,  pastor  of  the  Church  of 
God,  assisted  by  Rev.  J.  H.  Price,  of  the  M.  E.  Church,  Rev. 
Charles  Keller,  of  the  Lutheran  Church,  and  Rev.  C.  H.  Grove,  a 
former  pastor,  now  of  Mt.  Joy.     Nearly  every  family  in  the  town 


i66  geni:aix>gy  of  johannes  bakr,  1749-1910, 

was  represented  at  the  services,  besides  many  persons  from  Hol- 
lidaysburg,  Altoona,  Lewistown,  Reedsville,  Everett,  Hunting- 
don, Tyrone,  and  one  of  his  college  chums  from  Chicago, 

The  floral  tributes  were  magnificent,  notable  among  the  many 
was  one  sent  by  the  Beta  Theta  Pi  fraternity,  of  Cornell  Uni- 
versity, which  fraternity  also  sent  a  representative  to  the  funeral 
in  the  person  of  Mr.  Lawrence  Hallberg,  of  Chicago,  111.  A 
strange  coincidence  at  this  service  was  the  presence  of  the  last 
survivor  of  three  chums  and  room-mates.  These  three  were 
Messrs.  Herbert  Jamison,  of  Chicago,  Ralph  Bobb,  and  Lawrence 
Hallberg,  of  Chicago.  The  former  died  just  before  Mr,  Bobb 
started  for  San  Antonio,  and  now  the  only  surviving  member  at- 
tended the  funeral  of  the  second, 

Mr.  Bobb  was  born  in  Roaring  Spring,  October  24,  1885.  He 
attended  the  public  schools,  and  graduated  with  honors  from  the 
high  school  in  May,  1902,  In  the  Fall  of  1902  he  attended  the 
Mercersburg  Seminary,  from  which  he  graduated  with  honor  and 
great  credit  in  the  Summer  of  1904.  During  this  term  he  made 
one  of  the  best  records  in  his  studies  and  also  in  athletics,  cap- 
turing no  less  than  seven  valuable  prizes,  one  of  them  being  a  gold 
medal.  In  the  Fall  of  1904  he  took  up  the  course  of  mechanical 
engineering  at  Cornell  University,  and  was  making  an  admirable 
record  of  his  course,  until  the  Spring  of  1907,  when  under  the 
strain  of  severe  application,  he  broke  down  his  health,  from 
which,  notwithstanding  the  best  care  and  medical  treatment,  he 
did  not  recover. 

Ralph  Bobb  was  a  young  man  of  splendid  character.  He 
was  kind,  genial  and  affectionate.  He  made  hosts  of  friends 
everywhere.  No  one  in  his  home  community  was  more  loved  and 
respected.  He  did  not  seem  to  have  an  enemy.  Old  and  young, 
rich  and  poor — all  classes,  were  treated  kindly  and  courteously, 
and  were  drawn  instinctively  towards  him,  and  everyone  spoke 
well  of  him.  In  his  seminary  and  college  courses  he  readily 
made  hosts  of  friends,  and  won  the  hearts  of  the  students,  as  well 
as  the  faculty,  by  his  genial,  sunshiny  disposition.  He  possessed 
the  sterling  qualities  of  true  American  manhood,  which  win  its 
way  everywhere  where  force  and  beauty  and  strength  of  char- 


GENEAI^OGY    OF    JOHANNES    BA^R,    I749-I9IO,  167 

atcer  are  recognized.  He  became  a  member  of  the  Church  of 
God  about  five  years  ago,  and  was  a  member  also  of  the  young 
men's  Bible  class  for  more  than  ten  years,  in  the  same  church,  in 
which  relations  he  was  held  in  the  highest  esteem.  The  mem- 
bers of  his  class  presented  his  family  with  a  beautiful  floral  tribute 
in  his  honor,  and  attended  the  funeral  in  a  body. 

The  family  have  the  profound  sympathy  of  the  whole  com- 
munity in  their  great  affliction. 

"Not  changed  but  glorified !"  O  beauteous  thought 

For  those  who  weep. 
Mourning  the  loss  of  the  dear  face  departed, 

Fallen  asleep ! 
Hushed  into  silence,  never  more  to  comfort 

The  heart  of  men. 
Gone  like  the  sunshine  of  another  country 

Beyond  our  ken. 

How  will  it  look,  the  face  that  we  have  cherished, 

When  next  we  meet? 
Will  it  be  changed — so  glorified  and  saintly 

That  we  shall  know  it  not? 
Will  there  be  nothing  that  shall  say,  'I  love  thee' 

And   I  have  not   forgot? 
O  faithful  heart !  the  same  loved  face  transfigured 

Shall  meet  thee  there — 
Less  sad,  less  wistful,  in  immortal  beauty 

Divinely  fair. 

Let  us  be  patient,  we  who  mourn  with  weeping 

Some  vanished  face; 
The  Lord  has  taken,  but  to  add  more  beauty 

And  a  diviner  grace. 
When  through  the  storm  and  tempest  safely  anchored 

Just  on  the  other  side. 
We  shall  find  that  dear  face  through  death's  deep  shadows, 

Not  changed,  but  glorified.'

FUNERAL  OF  RALPH  BOBB. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Edward  G.  Bobb  and  their  son,  Chester,  ac- 
companying the  remains  of  their  son,  Ralph,  who  died  suddenly 
in  San  Antonio,  Texas,  on  Thanksgiving  Day,  as  mentioned  in 
last  week's  Ripples,  arrived  here  shortly  after  lo  o'clock  on  Mon- 
day morning,  by  special  train  from  Altoona. 

The  funeral  of  that  highly  esteemed  and  very  popular  young 
man,  took  place  on  Tuesday  at  10.30  a.  m.,  the  services  being  con- 


l68  GENEAIX^GY   OI'    JOHANNES    BA^R,    I749-I9IO. 

ducted  at  his  late  home,  which  was  crowded  with  relatives  and 
friends — some  from  Washington,  D.  C,  Cornell  University, 
Everett,  Huntingdon,  Hollidaysburg,  Tyrone,  Martinsburg,  Al- 
toona,  and  New  York  City.  The  principal  sermon  for  the  oc- 
casion was  preached  by  Rev.  C.  H,  Grove,  who  until  a  month 
ago,  had  been  for  nine  years  pastor  of  the  Church  of  God  here, 
of  which  Mr.  Bobb  was  a  faithful  member.  Although  very 
deeply  affected  by  his  death,  his  former  pastor's  semion  was  very 
able  and  appropriate,  as  were  the  brief  discourses  of  Rev.  J.  H. 
Price,  pastor  of  the  IMethodist  Episcopal  Church,  and  Rev.  Dr. 
Sigler,  pastor  of  the  Church  of  God,  who  assisted  in  the  services. 
The  Scripture  lesson  was  read  by  Rev.  Dr.  Keller,  of  the 
Lutheran  Church.  The  floral  offerings  from  his  Sunday-school 
class,  relatives  and  friends  were  very  beautiful  and  abundant. 

His  remains  were  laid  to  rest  in  a  specially  prepared  grave  in 
Greenlawn  cemetery  at  this  place. 

As  stated  in  our  letter  last  week,  Mr.  Bobb's  death  is  a  most 
sad  bereavement  to  his  devoted  parents  and  to  his  aged  grand- 
parents, Mr.  and  Mrs.  D.  M.  Bare,  of  this  place,  and  Major  and 
Mrs.  Alexander  Bobb,  of  Martinsburg,  with  whom  the  deceased 
was  a  favorite  grandson. 

Of  him  it  could  be  truthfully  said  that  he  had  no  enemies,  be- 
cause he  was  entirely  unselfish  and  never  thought  it  a  hardship  to 
forego  a  pleasure  for  others  or  to  go  out  of  his  way  to  do  some 
one  a  favor.  He  was  ever  watchful  of  opportunities  to  help  the 
needy  and  the  principles  of  the  Golden  Rule  dominated  his  life. 
He  so  lived  that  when  his  summons  came  at  22  years  of  age  he 
was  ready  to  go.  That  one  so  noble  and  promising  should  be 
called  away  seems  a  mystery  to  us,  but  there  is  abundant  com- 
fort in  the  fact  that  by  and  by  we  shall  see  that  God  knew  best.

RALPH  DANIEL  BOBB,  1905. 

Ralph  D.  Bobb,  of  the  class  of  1905,  died  at  San  Antonio, 
Texas,  November  28,  1907.  For  some  time  his  heart  had  been 
seriously  affected,  and  when  tuberculosis  added  its  fatal  touch 
Ralph's  father,  Mr.  E.  G.  Bobb,  of  Roaring  Spring,  Pa.,  moved

his  family  to  Texas  in  the  hope  that  Ralph  might  be  restored  to 
health,  but  in  vain,  and  on  Thanksgiving  morning  he  passed 
away. 

Ralph  Bobb  was,  like  Herbert  Jamison,  who  died  last  Sep- 
tember, a  boy  who  stands  out  prominently  from  the  ranks  of  those 
who  have  gone  forth  from  Mercersburg  in  recent  years.  In 
school  he  was  a  clean,  manly,  trustworthy,  painstaking  boy.  He 
was  not  only  an  excellent  scholar,  but  an  athlete  of  great  prom- 
ise ;  he  was  a  hurdler  of  the  championship  track  team  of  1905,  the 
team  which  Jamison  captained ;  in  many  ways  he  entered  into  the 
life  of  the  school,  and  in  matters  of  student  opinion,  he  was  on  the 
side  of  right.  In  the  Autumn  of  1905  he  entered  Cornell  Uni- 
versity, where  he  more  than  met  the  expectations  of  his  friends. 

Ralph  Bobb  was  a  boy  to  be  loved,  admired  and  respected, 
and  his  untimely  death  comes  as  a  sad  blow  to  all  Mercersburg 
boys  who  knew  him.  To  the  family  who  mourn  his  loss  the 
Alumni  of  the  Academy  extend  their  deepest  sympathy. 

Chester  A.  Bobb,  second  child  of  Clara  S.  and  Edwin  G. 
Bobb,  was  born  in  Roaring  Spring,  Pa.,  March  21st,  1893.  He 
attended  the  public  schools  of  Roaring  Spring  and  in  September, 
1909,  he  became  a  student  at  the  Tome  Institute  at  Port  Deposit, 
Md.,  with  his  cousin,  Russell  Carver,  who  began  a  three  years 
course  at  that  excellent  institution  of  learning  in  September,  1908. 
At  this  time  both  these  boys  are  making  excellent  progress  in 
their  studies.  Chester  A.  Bobb  has  attended  the  Sabbath-school 
of  the  Church  of  God  regularly  from  infancy  on,  until  he  went 
away  to  attend  school.  In  January,  1908,  he  became  a  member 
of  the  Church  of  God  at  Roaring  Spring,  and  has  been  a  faithful 
member  of  that  church  since  that  time. 

Ella  Bare,  second  child  of  Daniel  M.  and  Sarah  (Eby)  Bare,

pleted her  education  at  Birmingham,  Pa.  She  married  Dr.

Church  of  Roaring  Spring,  when  she  was  about  18  years  of  age. 
She  has  been  a  faithful  and  consistent  member  of  that  church 
ever  since,  taking  an  active  part  in  all  church  and  Sunday-school 
work.  She  has  taught  a  class  in  the  Sunday-school  for  the  past 
fifteen  years. 

Dr.  A.  L.  Garver  was  born  at  Thisbe,  Huntingdon  County, 
Pa.,  June  17th,  1859.  He  is  the  ninth  son  of  Benjamin  Garver, 
who  was  born  near  Roxboro,  Franklin  County,  February  12th, 
1812,  and  died  at  Thisbe,  Huntingdon  County,  Pa.,  January  i6th, 
1887.  He  was  the  son  of  Daniel  Garver,  who  came  from  Dau- 
phin County  to  Franklin  County  the  latter  part  of  the  eighteenth 
century. 

Benjamin  Garver  spent  his  early  life  in  transporting  freight 
from  Philadelphia  and  Baltimore  to  Pittsburg  and  Wheeling, 
having  charge  of  one  of  the  Conestoga  lines.  He  was  married 
February  loth,  1838,  to  Barbara  Bender,  who  was  born  near 
Roxboro,  Franklin  County,  January  loth,  1818,  and  died  at  This- 
be, Huntingdon  County,  Pa.,  October  12th,  1882.  They  were 
both  of  German  descent  and  conversed  fluently  in  the  German 
language,  during  their  entire  lives.  They  were  both  consistent 
members  of  the  Dunkard  Brethren  Church  and  died  in  that  faith. 
They  were  buried  in  the  cemetery  at  the  Stone  church  in  Ger- 
many Valley.  They  spent  most  of  their  life  in  farming  in  Hunt- 
ingdon County,  Pa.  They  early  learned  the  habit  of  thrift  and 
economy,  which  served  them  well  in  later  years,  as  they  were 
destined  to  raise  a  large  family.  To  this  union  were  born  two 
daughters  and  nine  sons,  all  of  whom  grew  to  maturity,  excepting 
one  daughter,  who  died  at  the  age  of  six  years.  The  last  child 
born  to  this  family  was  Abraham  Lincoln  Garver,  the  subject  of 
this  sketch,  who  spent  his  early  life  on  a  farm  at  Thisbe,  in  Ger- 
many Valley,  near  Shirleysburg,  Huntingdon  County,  Pa.,  at- 
tending the  public  schools  in  the  Winter  time,  and  later  Juniata 
College  at  Huntingdon,  Pa.,  teaching  during  the  Winter  months 
to  raise  money  -to  attend  school  during  the  Summer  months. 
During  the  Winter  of  1879-80,  he  taught  the  high  school  of  Roar- 
ing Spring,  Blair  County,  Pa.,  where  he  met  Dr.  A.  S.  Stayer, 
who  persuaded  him  to  study  medicine.  He  completed  the  course 
and  graduated  from  Jeflferson  Medical  College,  Philadelphia,  Pa.

in  the  class  of  1883.  He  practiced  medicine  four  years,  enjoying 
a  large  practice.  In  1887,  he  withdrew  from  the  practice  of 
medicine  and  entered  commercial  life.  On  August  4th,  1885,  he 
was  married  to  Miss  Ella  Bare,  daughter  of  D.  M.  Bare.  In 
1 89 1  he  took  charge  of  the  Roaring  Spring  Blank  Book  Co.  as 
general  manager,  which  was  then  in  its  infancy,  doing  a  limited 
business.  He  developed  it  until  it  has  grown  to  its  present  large 
proportion.  It  is  one  of  the  leading  concerns  of  its  kind,  and 
ships  its  product  to  all  parts  of  the  world.  Dr.  A.  L.  Garver  is  a 
Director  and  Treasurer  of  that  corporation.  He  is  also  vice 
president  and  one  of  the  directors  of  the  First  National  bank,  of 
Hollidaysburg,  Pa.,  and  assisted  in  its  reorganization  and  helped 
to  bring  it  up  to  its  present  high  standing  among  the  banks  of 
Central  Pennsylvania.  He  has  served  on  the  borough  School 
Board  continuously,  for  a  period  of  twenty-three  years  and  as- 
sisted in  grading  and  bringing  the  schools  up  to  their  present 
standing  of  a  high  school  of  the  second  grade.  He  is  a  member 
and  trustee  in  the  Roaring  Spring  M.  E.  Church.  Whatever  of 
success  in  life  has  come  to  him,  he  ascribes  largely  to  his  happy 
union  with  his  wife,  who  has  assisted  and  helped  in  the  various 
undertakings,  as  only  a  good  wife  can. 

Ivan  Edison  Garver,  first  child  of  Abraham  L.  and  Ella 
Garver,  was  born  at  Roaring  Spring,  Pa.,  October  i8th,  1887. 
He  was  educated  at  Williamsport  Dickinson  Seminary,  Philips 
Andover  Academy  and  Harvard  University.  He  is  a  young  man 
of  most  excellent  character  and  attainments  and  is  the  faithful 
and  able  assistant  to  h'is  father  in  the  Blank  Book  Co.  business. 

•  Russell  Bare  Garver,  second  child  of  Abraham  L.  and  Ella

is  attending  the  public  schools  of  Roaring  Spring,  and  is  making 
very  good  progress.  She  is  a  consistent  and  worthy  member  of 
the  Methodist  Church,  having  joined  that  church  before  she 
was  ten  years  of  age. 

Ina  Bare,  third  child  of  Daniel  M.  and  Sarah  (Eby)  Bare 
was  born  February  14th,  1865,  and  died  February  25th,  1866, 
aged  I  year  and  11  days.  She  is  buried  in  the  Roaring  Spring 
Cemetery. 

Anna  Bare,  fourth  child  of  Daniel  M.  Bare  and  Sarah  (Eby) 
Bare,  was  born  at  Roaring  Spring,  Pa.,  October  15th,  1867.  She 
attended  the  public  schools  at  Roaring  Spring,  Pa.,  and  completed 
her  education  at  Williamsport  Seminary.  In  1894  she  married 
Dr.  William  McKee  Eldon,  who  was  born  at  Bendersville, 
Adams  County,  Pa.,  November  23rd,  1858.  He  is  the  oldest  son 
of  John  and  Martha  Eldon.  His  mother  was  of  German  and 
his  father  of  French  descent.  His  great-grandfather,  whose 
Christian  name  is  unknown  to  us,  lived  in  England,  and  for  a 
short  time  in  Ireland,  from  which  country  he,  with  a  brother, 
emigrated  to  America  in  the  latter  part  of  the  eighteenth  century. 
The  brother  went  to  Canada  and  the  great-grandfather,  the  sub- 
ject of  this  sketch,  settled  in  Pennsylvania.  His  grandfather, 
Robert  Eldon,  was  born  on  the  Atlantic  Ocean,  three  days  before 
the  vessel  arrived  in  port.  He  settled  in  Adams  County  and  had 
eight  sons  and  one  daughter.  They  were  a  patriotic  family  and 
three  of  his  sons  lost  their  lives  during  the  War  of  the  Rebellion. 
Thomas  was  killed  in  the  Battle  of  the  Wilderness,  Joseph  in 
front  of  Petersburg,  and  Kaufman  starved  to  death  in  Libby 
prison. 

John  Eldon  was  a  merchant  at  Bendersville,  Pa.  John  and

of  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  of  the  year  1908,  earning 
the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Pharmacy. 

Russia  Eldon  was  married  to  William  Shoemaker.  He  is  a 
salesman  and  lives  at  Carlisle,  Pa.  The  Eldons,  not  only  of 
John's  family,  but  of  Edwin's  and  William's,  were  generally  in- 
clined to  the  professions,  either  as  doctors,  lawyers  or  teachers. 

William  McKee  Eldon  began  the  d'rug  business  in  Dr. 
Trout's  drug  store  in  McConnelsburg,  Pa.  Two  years  later  he 
went  to  Columbia,  Pa.,  and  took  charge  of  P.  S.  Brough's  drug 
store,  after  which  he  went  to  Philadelphia  and  entered  Jefferson 
College,  and  graduated  from  the  Pharmaceutical  College  in  1887, 
and  from  the  Medical  College  in  1888.  Since  that  time  he  has 
practiced  his  chosen  profession  of  medicine,  and  is  at  present 
a  prominent  physician  of  Roaring  Spring,  and  is  a  member  of 
the  medical  staff  of  the  Nason  Hospital,  of  Roaring  Spring,  Pa. 

Anna  Bare  Eldon,  for  some  years  past,  has  been  in  delicate 
health.  She  has  spent  parts  of  several  Winters  in  Florida  and 
in  the  Winter  of  1906  went  to  Southern  California,  from  which 
trip  she  received  considerable  benefit. 

William  McKee  and  Anna  Bare  Eldon  have  but  one  child, 
Sara  Madeline  Eldon,  born  April  17th,  1897.  She  attends  the 
public  school  at  Roaring  Spring,  and  is  an  excellent  -scholar  for 
her  age.  She  will  probably  be  ready  to  enter  the  high  school  at 
the  close  of  this  term,  although  she  is  only  13  years  of  age. 

ROARING  SPRING,  PA. 

Daniel  Bare,  Sr.,  no  doubt,  had  in  mind  the  excellent  location 
for  business  at  Roaring  Spring  some  years  before  he  bought  the 
property.  In  the  Summer  of  1863,  the  property,  then  held  by 
Hon.  J.  B.  Mann,  of  Bedford,  Pa.,  was  offered  for  sale.  The 
property  consisted  of  ninety  acres  of  land  and  an  old  grist  mill 
and  had  two  small  dwelling  houses  on  it.  The  price  paid  for  it 
was  $17,000.00.  This  purchase  was  made  when  Mr.  Bare  was  75 
years  of  age.  His  son,  D.  M.  Bare,  became  a  partner  in  this 
property  and  in  the  business  which  followed.  After  taking 
possession  of  the  property,  a  small  general  store  was  opened.  In 
1866  the  first  paper  mill  was  built,  and  in  1868  the  old  grist  mill 


174  GENEALOGY   OE   JOHANNES   BAER,    1749-I91O. 

was  torn  down  and  the  new  flouring  mill  erected.  In  the  year 
1886,  the  first  blank  book  factory  was  built.  This  burned  down 
a  year  later,  but  was  again  rebuilt  and  started  in  1887.  The  first 
ten  years  of  their  existence  the  paper  mill  and  the  blank  book 
factory  were  run  without  any  profit  to  the  proprietors,  but  in  the 
course  of  time,  both  became  good  paying  properties. 

The  finished  product  of  the  first  paper  mill  for  some  years 
w'as  about  3,000  lbs  daily.  That  has  been  gradually  increased 
until  the  present  daily  output  is  about  56,000  lbs.  The  first  mill 
employed  probably  25  or  30  persons,  but  for  some  years  past  the 
number  has  been  increased  to  something  over  200.  The  daily 
consumption  of  wood  is  about  55  cords.  The  paper  made  at  this 
mill  is  machine  finished  and  super  calendar  book  and  blank  book 
papers.  The  largest  single  customer  is  the  Roaring  Spring 
Blank  Book  Company,  which  takes  about  1 50  tons  a  month.  The 
balance  of  the  product  is  shipped  to  New  York,  Philadelphia,  Bal- 
timore, Cincinnati,  St.  Louis  and  other  cities.  The  Roaring 
Spring  Blank  Book  Co.  at  present  employs  about  200  persons  in 
the  factory  and  has  ten  salesmen  on  the  road,  covering  practically 
the  whole  of  the  United  States  and  Canada.  The  success  of  this 
company  has  been  due  largely  to  the  energy  and  superior  business 
ability  of  Dr.  A.  L.  Carver,  its  General  Manager. 

When  Daniel  Bare  and  his  son,  D.  M.  Bare,  began  business 
at  Roaring  Spring  (then  called  Spangs  Mills),  there  were  two 
dwelling  houses  and  a  farm  house  nearby.  At  present  the  pop- 
ulation is  supposed  to  be  about  1,800.  The  two  industries  men- 
tioned above  have  been  responsible  largely  for  this  increase  in 
population.  It  contains  five  churches  within  the  borough  limits 
and  a  flourishing  church  of  the  Brethren  less  than  a  mile  away. 
For  a  number  of  years  the  Sunday-school  statistics  of  the  State 
showed  a  larger  percentage  of  its  people  attending  the  Sunday- 
schools  than  any  other  community  in  the  State.  It  has  not  had  a 
licensed  saloon  within  its  limits  for  the  past  twenty-two  years, 
and  a  large  majority  of  its  citizens  own  their  own  homes. 

Note.  The  paper  on  which  this  book  is  printed  was  manu- 
factured by  the  D.  M.  Bare  Paper  Company,  at  their  mill  at 
Roaring  Spring,  Pa.

mother  at  1102  W.  Fayette  avenue,  Springfield,  111.  They  are 
members  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church. 

Catherine  Elizabeth  Fortenbaugh,  third  child  of  Abraham

1867.  At  the  age  of  thirteen  she  entered  the  private  school  of 
Miss  Woodward,  of  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  and  four  years  later  she 
became  a  teacher  in  that  school.  In  September,  1888,  she  married 
Prof.  Harris  Joseph  Ryan,  electrical  and  mechanical  engineer,  of 
Cornell  University.  Mr  Ryan  is  a  son  of  Cashier  C.  W.  Ryan, 
of  the  Halifax  Bank,  who  lost  his  life  in  defending  the  funds  of 
the  bank  from  bank  robbers  in  1901.  Prof.  Ryan  occupied  the 
chair  of  electrical  and  mechanical  engineering  for  fourteen  years 
in  Cornell  University,  and  in  January,  1904,  accepted  a  similar 
position  from  the  Leland  Stanford  University,  at  Palo  Alto,  Cali- 
fornia, where  they  now  reside.  They  have  no  children,  and 
are  members  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church, 

Samuel  Byrod  Fortenbaugh,  fourth  child  of  Abraham  and 
Mary  Fortenbaugh,  was  born  at  Halifax,  Pa.,  July  31st,  1869. 
He  entered  the  high  school  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  in  1885,  for  a  pre- 
paratory course  and  in  1886  entered  Cornell  University,  from 
which  institution  he  graduated  as  an  electrical  engineer  in  the 
class  of  1890.  Samuel  Byrod  Fortenbaugh,  in  July,  1890,  took 
a  position  with  the  Brush  Electric  Company,  of  Cleveland,  Ohio, 
and  had  charge  of  their  exhibit  at  the  Chicago  Exposition  in 
1893,  after  w^hich  he  resigned  his  position  and  returned  to  Cornell 
University  and  took  a  post  graduate  course  with  additional 
degrees.  In  1894  he  accepted  a  professorship  of  electrical  and 
mechanical  engineering  in  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  at  Madi- 
son, filling  this  position  for  four  years.  He  then  accompanied 
Sidney  H.  Short,  formerly  president  of  the  Brush  Electrical  Com- 
pany, to  Preston,  England,  to  assist  in  the  installation  of  a  large 
electrical  manufacturing  plant,  with  which  he  was  connected  until 


l82  GENKAI.OGY    OF   JOHANNES   BAER,    I749-I9IO. 

1901,  when  he  accepted  the  position  of  electrical  engineer  in 
charge  of  the  electrification  of  seventy-six  miles  of  steam  under- 
ground roads  in  London,  known  as  the  Yerkes  enterprise.  He 
served  in  this  capacity  until  the  completion  of  the  work,  covering 
a  period  of  five  years,  returning  to  the  States  in  1906.  He  at 
once  accepted  the  position  of  electrical  engineer  with  the  General 
Electric  Company,  of  Schenectady,  N.  Y.,  where  he  now  resides. 
On  January  10,  1901,  he  married  Florence  Cowden,  daughter  of 
Frederick  and  Elizabeth  Hatton  Cowden,  of  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  to 
whom  were  born  two  children,  Samuel  Byrod  and  Cowden, 

Samuel  Byrod  Fortenbaugh,  first  child  of  Samuel  and 
Florence  Fortenbaugh,  was  born  in  London,  England,  March  2, 
1902. 

Cowden  Fortenbaugh,  second  child  of  Samuel  and  Florence 
Fortenbaugh,  was  born  in  London,  May  17th,  1903.  This  family 
are  members  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  and  live  at  115  Elmer 
avenue,  Schenectady,  N.  Y. 

This  record  of  Abraham  Fortenbaugh  would  be  incomplete 
without  recording  the  most  exciting  and  thrilling  event  of  his 
life.  On  March  14th,  1901,  two  stalwart  men,  about  22  years  of 
age  entered  the  Halifax  National  Bank,  of  which  Mr.  Forten- 
baugh was  President,  for  the  purpose  of  robbing  it.  There  were 
four  persons  in  the  bank  at  the  time  the  robbers  entered,  namely, 
Mr.  Fortenbaugh,  a  friend,  and  the  cashier  and  teller  of  the  bank. 
The  robbers  were  armed  with  four  revolvers  and  immediately 
covered  the  four  men  in  the  bank  with  their  revolvers  and  re- 
quired them  to  hold  up  their  hands.  The  cashier  was  forced  to 
deliver  over  $9,000  of  cash  after  which  a  struggle  ensued 
through  the  attempt  of  the  cashier  to  get  one  of  the  revolvers. 
The  robber  fired  twice  at  short  range,  one  shot  of  which  proved 
fatal  about  four  hours  later.  Notwithstanding  the  cashier's  con- 
dition he  succeeded  in  getting  the  robbed  in  a  helpless  position, 
when  he  (the  robber),  called  on  his  pal,  who  was  still  holding  up 
the  other  three  men  at  the  point  of  his  revolvers,  for  aid.  As  he 
released  them  and  as  he  passed  by,  Mr.  Fortenbaugh  threw  him- 
self on  the  robber's  back,  and  with  his  arms  around  him  they 
struggled  awhile,  but  he  finally  threw  Mr.  Fortenbaugh  to  the

floor,  and  then  fired  at  him,  the  ball  passing  through  two  thick- 
nesses of  his  trousers,  after  which  he  shot  the  cashier,  releasing 
his  pal  and  then  ran  out  of  the  bank.  As  Mr.  Fortenbaugh  re- 
gained his  feet,  the  other  robber  was  making  off  with  the  money 
in  a  telescope,  which  contained  gags,  dynamite,  plyers,  etc.  At 
this  moment  Mr.  Fortenbaugh  threw  his  left  arm  around  the 
neck  of  the  robber  and  with  his  right  hand  seized  his  revolver 
when  he  fired  the  last  two  shots  in  it,  which  proved  harmless. 
Finally  Mr.  Fortenbaugh  overpowered  the  robber.  About  this 
time  outside  relief  came.  The  other  robber  was  captured  out- 
side and  both  were  taken  to  Harrisburg  that  day.  The  next  day 
they  were  tried  for  murder  and  in  eight  days  and  seven  hours 
from  the  time  they  committed  the  crime  they  heard  their  death 
sentence  and  were  executed  the  following  January.  Mr.  Forten- 
baugh in  relating  this  thrilling  experience,  said,  "I  had  fully  made 
up  my  mind  that  my  end  was  at  hand,  and  at  first  trembled  with 
fear,  but  when  my  friend  Mr.  Ryan  was  fired  upon,  all  my  fear 
left  me,  and  I  became  more  a  demon  than  a  human,  facing  what 
seemed  death,  regardless  of  consequences.  An  unseen  hand  pre- 
served me,  for  which  I  shall  never  cease  in  my  gratitude  to  my 
Creator."  He  further  says,  "The  cashier  of  this  bank,  Chas.  W. 
Ryan,  was  a  martyr  in  his  devotion  to  the  trust  which  he  held." 

Mr.  Fortenbaugh  has  certainly  been  a  power  for  good  in  the 
community  in  which  he  lived.  He  has  been  an  active  business 
man  for  more  than  half  a  century,  and  in  business  where  much 
capital  has  been  involved.  In  addition  to  the  business  of  general 
merchandising  he  has  been  president  of  the  Halifax  Shoe  Manu- 
facturing Company,  president  of  the  Halifax  Mutual  Fire  Insur- 
ance Company,  and  president  of  the  Halifax  National  Bank.  He 
is  also  a  director  in  the  Harrisburg  Trust  Company,  and  a  di-

Elizabeth,  Abraham,  Peter  Mathias,  John,  Susannah,  Ben- 
jamin, Catherine,  Anna,  Sarah,  Benjamin  Franklin. 

Benjamin  Bear  (as  he  spelled  it  in  his  family  record)  was 
married  in  1816.     He  purchased  a  farm  near  his  father's  home, 
at  the  very  high  prices  prevailing  after  the  war  of  1812-15,  which 
he  sold  at  a  great  loss,  in  the  Spring  of  1832.     He  moved  to 
Sinking  Valley,  Huntingdon  County  (now  Blair),  where  he  lived 
about  four  years,  and  then  moved  to  near   where   Tyrone    now 
stands,  where  he  lived  for  two  years.     Then  in  the  Spring  of  1838 
he  moved  to  the  Carothers'  farm  in  Hill  Valley,  Cromwell  Town- 
ship, Huntingdon  County,  Pa.,  which  he  rented  for  two  years  and 
then  purchased  in  1840.     This  was  a  large  farm,  containing  400 
acres,  including  woodland.     It  was  partly  limestone  land  and  one 
of  the  best  farms  in  the  valley.     It  was  also  one  of  the  oldest; 
the  warrant  is  dated  September  17th,  1766.     After  his  death,  his 
sons  Peter  and  John  took  charge  of  the  farm  until  1854,  then 
George  Price  and  wife,  Susannah  Bare,  farmed  until  1865.    After 
them  came  George  Garver  and  wife,  Anna  Bare,  who  now  own 
the  farm  and  live  there  a  quiet  retired  life,  while  their  son,  Lloyd 
P.    Garver,   does   the   farming.     Benjamin's   widow,    Catharine, 
lived  there  until  her  death,  August  21st,  1892,  at  the  advanced 
age  of  96  years,  6  months  and  7  days.     (She  was  born  in  New- 
berry Township,  York  County,  Pa.,  February  14th,  1796.)     She 
was  a  devout  Christian,  a  member  of  the  German  Baptist  Church, 
and  raised  her  large  family  in  that  faith,  most  of  whom  united 
with  that  Church.     Gentle,    kind-hearted    and    generous,    ever 
doing  an  act  of  kindness,  she  was  loved  and  respected  by  all. 
They  are  buried  on  their  own  farm,  which  is  about  nine  miles 
from  Mount  Union.

dren, the  one  aged  15  and  the  other  12,  just  twelve  days  apart,

Abraham  Bear,  second  child  of  Benjamin  and  Catharine 
Bear,  was  born  in  Fishing  Creek  Valley,  York  County,  Pa.,  June

Peter  Mathias  Bare,  third  child  of  Benjamin  and  Catharine

of  Rev.  Andrew  and  Catharine  Spanogle,  of  Germany  Valley, 
Huntingdon  County,  Pa.,  and  to  this  union  six  sons  and  one 
daughter  were  born.  He  spent  the  early  years  of  his  married 
life  in  farming  and  in  the  manufacture  of  woolen  goods  in  Ger- 
many Valley.  In  1857  he  engaged  in  the  mercantile  business  in 
Mapleton,  Pa.,  and  in  1859  removed  to  Mt.  Union,  Pa.,  where 
he  continued  in  the  same  business  in  connection  with  the  milling 
business.  He  resided  almost  continuously  in  Mount  Union  until 
his  death,  which  occurred  January  4th,  1884.  He  was  buried  in 
the  cemetery  at  the  old  stone  church  of  the  Brethren,  in  Germany 
Valley.  He  and  his  wife  were  members  of  the  Brethren  Church. 
After  his  death,  his  wife  Catharine  married  Rev.  James  R.  Lane 
and  lived  with  him  in  Shirleysburg,  Pa.,  till  June  i8th,  1898, 
when  her  spirit  also  took  its  flight  and  her  remains  were  laid  to 
rest  in  the  cemetery  at  the  old  stone  church  in  Germany  Valley. 
After  the  death  of  Peter  M.  and  Catharine  S.  Bare,  the  follow-

are  here  inserted. 

Phter  M.  Bare. 

Peter  M.  Bare  died  at  his  home  in  Mount  Union,  on  Friday 
morning,  January  4th,  1884,  from  a  cardiac  affection  hastened  by 
a  severe  cold.  Having  been  about  his  business  but  a  day  or  two 
before,  his  death  was  very  sudden  and  unexpected. 


220  GENEALOGY    OF    JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO. 

He  was  born  in  York  County,  Pa.,  December  28th,  1821,  and 
was  62  years  and  i  week  old  at  the  time  of  his  death.  When 
he  was  ten  years  old  his  father,  Benjamin  Bare,  with  his  family, 
removed  to  Sinking  Valley,  Huntingdon  County,  and  from 
thence  to  the  old  Bare  homestead  in  Hill  Valley  in  1838.  Peter 
M.  Bare  was  the  oldest,  but  one,  of  a  family  of  eight  children, 
who  lived  to  maturity ;  of  whom  one  brother  and  three  sisters 
survive  him,  viz. :  John  Bare,  of  Mount  Union,  Mrs.  S.  R.  Doug- 
las, of  Shirleysburg,  Mrs.  George  W.  Price,  of  Fulton  County, 
and  Mrs.  George  Garver,  of  Hill  Valley.  The  youngest  brother, 
Benjamin  F.  Bare,  was  a  second  lieutenant  in  Company  B.,  iioth 
P.  v.,  and  died  in  1863  from  disease  contracted  in  the  service. 
The  sisters  who  are  dead  are  Catharine,  who  was  married  to 
Oliver  Colgate,  and  died  in  Mount  Union  in  1864,  and  Sarah, 
who  was  married  to  George  W.  Haffley,  and  died  in  Hill  Valley  in 
1871. 

In  1845  the  deceased  was  united  in  marriage  to  Catharine, 
oldest  daughter  of  Andrew  Spanogle,  of  Germany  Valley.  Six 
sons  and  one  daughter  were  born  to  them.  Two  died  in  infancy. 
The  rest  still  survive.  John  S.,  the  oldest,  is  in  business  in 
Mount  Union;  Mary  A.,  lives  with  her  mother;  Benjamin  F.,  is 
in  Nevada ;  William  H.,  is  in  Colorado ;  and  Ira  L.,  the  youngest, 
is  in  Nebraska. 

The  deceased  was  for  a  number  of  years  an  active  business 
man,  well  known  in  business  circles  in  Huntingdon  County.  He 
began  his  business  career  as  a  manufacturer  of  woolen  goods  at 
the  woolen  factory  in  Germany  Valley.  After  suffering  serious 
loss  through  the  embezzlement  of  an  agent,  he  sold  the  factory 
and  moved  to  Hare's  Valley,  where  in  1855,  he  and  Thomas  E. 
Orbison  erected  the  first  steam  saw-mill  ever  operated  in  this 
section.  After  sawing  a  couple  of  years,  he  went  to  Mapleton 
and  engaged  in  the  mercantile  business,  establishing  the  post- 
office  and  the  first  store  ever  opened  in  that  now  thriving  town. 

In  1859  he  removed  to  Mount  Union  to  engage  in  the  mer- 
cantile business  at  that  place.  He  did  a  large  business  in  Mount 
Union  until  1869,  contributing  in  the  meantime  a  very  liberal 
share  toward  the  building  up  of  Mount  Union.     He  erected  the 


GENEALOGY    OF    JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO.  221 

store  building  now  occupied  by  T.  H„  Adams,  the  steam  mill  now 
owned  by  Mrs.  W.  H.  Allen,  the  fine  residence  now  occupied  by 
his  family,  and  several  smaller  buildings.  He  was  one  of  the 
projectors,  together  with  his  brother  John  and  General  Speer,  of 
the  first  steam  tannery  erected  here ;  but  he  and  General  Speer 
withdrew  from  the  enterprise  before  it  had  progressed  very  far. 
He  was  also  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Union  Bank  at  Hunting- 
don, chartered  under  the  style  of  John  Bare  &  Co.  During  the 
war  he  served  as  one  of  the  County  Commissioners,  and  was 
postmaster  at  Mount  Union  during  President  Lincoln's  first  term. 
He  was  also  a  Justice  of  the  Peace,  both  by  appointment  and  elec- 
tion. 

Owing  to  complications  arising  from  extended  business  oper- 
ations, from  some  of  which  he  suffered  very  severe  financial 
losses,  he  failed  in  1869;  and  from  the  consequent  wreck  of  prop- 
erty he  was  unable  to  save  anything.  This  loss  of  property,  to- 
gether with  a  serious  physical  injury  that  he  received  a  few  years 
ago,  made  it  impossible  for  him  again  to  follow  an  active  busi- 
ness life,  and  hastened  a  death  that  is  deeply  lamented  by  a  large 
circle  of  kindred  and  friends. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  German  Baptist  Church.  His 
mortal  remains  were  borne  to  their  last  resting  place,  in  Breth- 
ren's cemetery  in  Germany  Valley,  on  Tuesday.     Rest  in  peace. 

Death  Record, 

Mrs.  Catharine  Bare. — June  i8,  1898. 

Death's  summons  has  come  again.  This  time  it  was  to 
Catharine,  wife  of  Rev.  James  Lane,  of  Shirleysburg,  who  after 
much  suffering  passed  peacefully  and  hopefully  away  on  last  Sat- 
urday evening  at  7  o'clock  at  the  good  age  of  71  years,  11  months 
and  2  days.  She  was  a  daughter  of  Rev.  Andrew  and  Catharine 
Spanogle  and  was  born  near  Newton  Hamilton,  July  16,  1826. 

When  about  one  year  old  her  parents  removed  to  Germanv 
Valley,  where  her  young  life  was  spent.  In  that  rich  and  beau- 
tiful valley,  amidst  the  surroundings  of  a  good  home  influence 
and  Christian  training  she  laid  the  foundation  of  the  beautiful  and 


222  GENEALOGY    OF   JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I910. 

consistent  life  she  was  afterwards  enabled  to  live.  When  but 
sixteen  years  of  age  she  was  received  into  the  communion  of  the 
Dunkard  Church,  of  which  her  father  was  an  honored  and  useful 
minister,  and  in  which  her  husband  has  served  for  years  with 
much  faithfulness  and  acceptance. 

On  February  20th,  1845,  she  was  united  in  marriage  with  P. 
M.  Bare,  to  whom  she  was  a  good  wife  and  helpmeet  for  about 
thirty-eight  years,  when  death  removed  her  husband  and  left  her 
in  lonely  widowhood.  Four  children  survive  this  marriage,  one 
daughter,  Mary  A.,  of  Philadelphia,  and  three  sons,  John  S.,  who 
is  Captain  of  Company  A,  5th  Regiment,  P.  V.,  stationed  at  Camp 
Thomas,  Chickamauga,  Ga.,  William,  of  Deadwood,  N.  D.,  and 
Ira,  of  North  Piatt,  Neb.  Two  brothers,  Andrew  Spanogle,  of 
Lewistown,  Pa.,  and  D,  B.  Spanogle,  of  Red  Cloud,  Neb.,  also 
survive  her. 

On  February  i/th,  1885,  she  was  again  united  in  marriage 
with  Rev.  James  Lane.  She  was  a  good  wife  to  him  and  a  kind 
mother  to  his  children  to  a  former  marriage.  For  over  thirteen 
years  they  have  walked  life's  pathway  together,  affording  mutual 
help  and  strength  to  one  another.  But  death  has  ruthlessly  rent 
asunder  this  pleasant  relation  and  despoiled  this  home  of  its 
brightest  attraction.  Ordinarily  we  would  have  expected  "Aunt 
Katie"  to  have  been  spared  many  years  yet  to  her  home  and  the 
community.  But  disease  fastened  its  fangs  upon  that  body  and 
would  yield  to  no  treatment.  Her  days  were  numbered,  her 
course  was  run  and  her  work  was  done  and  she  was  taken  home 
to  be  with  Jesus  and  the  redeemed. 

Appropriate  services  were  held  in  the  old  stone  church  in 
Germany  Valley,  where  she  was  wont  to  worship  God,  at  11 
o'clock  on  Tuesday,  June  21st,  1898,  in  charge  of  Rev.  H.  B. 
Brumbaugh,  of  Huntingdon,  assisted  by  Rev.  W.  S.  Long,  of 
Tyrone,  and  Dr.  D.  H.  Campbell,  of  Mount  Union. 

It  was  very  largely  attended  by  relatives,  friends  and  neigh- 
bors and  was  a  deeply  impressive  service.  The  scripture  selected 
for  the  funeral  discourse  was  most  appropriate :  "Thou  shalt 
come  to  thy  grave  in  a  full  age,  like  as  a  shock  of  corn  cometh  in 
in  his  season"  (Job  5:26).     The  theme  chosen  was  "A  Beautiful

Life."  The  death  of  "Aunt  Katie"  was  a  most  happy  exem- 
plification of  the  truth  and  beauty  of  the  text,  for  a  mother  in 
Israel  hath  fallen,  earth  is  the  poorer  and  heaven  the  richer  be- 
cause of  this  translation.  Everybody  loved  her,  for  she  was 
kind  to  every  one.  Love  had  a  large  place  in  her  heart,  and  it 
manifested  itself  in  doing  good  unto  and  helping  others.  Hers 
was  a  most  hospitable  home.  It  was  always  a  delight  to  abide 
there.  She  was  devoted  to  her  church  and  was  rarely  absent 
from  her  place.  She  was  deeply  interested  in  the  Old  Folks 
Home  and  did  much  to  comfort  and  brighten  the  lives  of  its  in- 
mates. She  made  a  large  place  for  herself  in  the  community  and 
will  be  greatly  missed  by  her  friends  and  neighbors.  Of  her  it 
may  he  said,  "she  hath  done  what  she  could."  She  now  rests 
from  her  labors  and  her  works  do  follow  her.  Sweet  is  the  com- 
fort that  consoles  the  hearts  of  the  husband  and  children,  who 
have  the  sympathy  of  a  host  of  friends  in  their  bereavement. 

John  Spanogle  Bare,  first  child  of  Peter  M.  and  Catharine 
Bare,  was  born  in  Gennany  V'alley,  April  3rd,  1847.  He  was 
educated  in  the  public  schools  and  grew  up  in  his  father's  busi- 
ness. On  February  4th,  1874,  he  was  united  in  marriage  to 
Elsie  Joanna  Shaver,  a  daughter  of  Wm.  Shaver,  and  a  grand- 
daughter of  Major  John  Shaver,  one  of  the  pioneer  settlers  of  the 
Aughwick  Valley.  He  conducted  a  general  store  in  Mount 
Union,  Pa.,  for  several  years,  and  in  1885  was  elected  Register 
and  Recorder  of  Huntingdon  County,  and  was  re-elected  in  1887. 
He  was  also  a  member  of  the  State  Legislature  during  the  ses- 
sions of  1893,  1897  ^nd  1899.  He  was  a  Captain  in  the  5th 
Regt,  N.  G.  Pa.,  from  1889  to  1898.  He  was  Captain  of  Com- 
pany A,  5th  Regt.,  Pa.  Vol.,  in  the  war  with  Spain,  and  after- 
wards Major  and  later  Lieutenant  Colonel,  5th  Regt.,  N.  G.  P., 
and  is  now  holding  that  rank  on  the  retired  list  of  officers.  He 
has  resided  in  Huntingdon,  Pa.,  since  1885,  and  is  engaged  in  the 
lumber  business.  He  and  his  wife  are  members  of  the  Presby- 
terian Church,  of  Huntingdon,  Pa, 

Mary  Ann  Bare,  second  child  and  only  daughter  of  Peter  M. 
and  Catharine  Bare,  was  born  in  Germany  Valley,  February  22nd,

parents  at  Mount  Union,  Pa.  After  death  broke  up  that  home 
she  removed  to  Philadelphia  where  she  conducts  a  large  boarding 
house,  at  the  comer  of  Spruce  and  Tenth  streets,  in  which  busi- 
ness she  has  been  quite  successful.  She  claims  the  distinction  of 
being  the  only  spinster  in  the  immediate  family  connection.  She 
is  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church. 

Andrczv  Jackson  Bare,  third  child  of  Peter  M.  and  Catharine

Nevada  and  Idaho  and  continued  in  the  mining  business  until 
1885,  when  his  lungs  became  affected.  A  year's  residence  in 
Southern  California  failed  to  restore  his  health  and  he  came  back 
home  to  Pennsylvania,  where  he  died  May  nth,  1887,  at  the  age 
of  thirty-four  years.  He  was  buried  at  the  old  stone  church  in

the  Klondike  country.  Since  then  his  family  has  not  heard  from 
him. 

Ira  Leslie  Bare,  seventh  child  of  Peter  M.  and  Catharine 
Bare,  was  born  in  Mount  Union,  Pa.,  November  24th,  i860.  In

Mr.  Bare  is  a  prosperous  newspaper  man.  The  family  be- 
long-s  to  the  Presbyterian  Church. 

John  Bare,  fourth  child  of  Benjamin  and  Catharine  (Ma- 
thias)  Bear,  was  born  in  Fishing  Creek  Valley,  York  County,  Pa., 
February  19th,  1823,  and  died  in  Mount  Union,  August  4th,  1899. 
He  and  all  his  family  who  have  died  are  buried  in  the  Odd  Fel- 
lows' Cemetery,  Mount  Union,  Pa.  John  Bare  (spelling  changed 
from  Bear  after  starting  to  English  school),  went  with  his  father 
from  the  farm  in  Fishing  Creek  Valley,  York  County,  Pa.,  about 
five  miles  south  of  Goldsboro,  when  he  was  nine  years  old, 
(1832),  to  Sinking  Valley,  Huntingdon  County,  (now  Blair 
county).  He  lived  there  about  four  years  and  went  from  there 
to  near  where  Tyrone  now  stands,  where  he  remained  for  two 
years.  In  the  Spring  of  1838  he  removed  to  Carothers  farm,  of 
about  400  acres,  in  Hill  Valley,  Cromwell  Township,  Hunting- 
don County,  Pa.,  where  he  lived  until  the  Spring  of  1854.  He 
then  moved  to  Mount  Union  (consisting  at  that  time  of  about 
five  houses),  and  built  his  residence,  where  he  lived  until  his 
death,  August  4th,  1899.  After  his  father's  death,  February 
15th,  1845,  he  and  his  brother,  Peter  Mathias  Bare,  farmed  the 
homestead  until  the  Spring  of  1854,  when  he  began  an  active 
business  career,  during  which  he  did  much  to  develop  the  natural 
resources  of  this  section.  He  built  the  large  grain  warehouse 
and  store  on  Pennsylvania  Canal,  now  owned  by  Dr.  Rhodes,  and 
the  dwelling  across  the  street.  He  formed  a  partnership  with 
George  McLaughlin  and  they  did  a  large  grain  business  in  con- 
nection with  their  merchandising  firm,  which  was  dissolved  in 
i860.  He  purchased  1,400  acres  of  timber  land  on  Jack's  Moun- 
tain, south  of  the  Juniata  River,  and  700  acres  on  the  north  side, 
from  which  he  peeled  oak  bark  for  tanning  purposes  and  shipped 
to  Philadelphia  and  Baltimore,  and  also  dealt  largely  in  cord  wood 
and  ties.  He  built  the  first  tannery  in  1859  and  began  its  oper- 
ation in  i860,  continuing  in  the  business  until  1865,  when  he  sold 
to  Jacob  Hoffman.  About  this  time  the  oil  excitement  broke  out 
and  he  and  his  brother  Peter  went  to  Franklin,  Venango  County, 
and  purchased  Porter  Island,  in  the  Allegheny  River,  and  sunk  a 
well,  which  proved  at  first  to  be  one  of  the  best,  but  gradually  de- 
clined in  its  flow.     He  also  built  a  large  hotel  in  Franklin,  called

the  Grant  House,  which  in  about  a  year  was  burned  to  the 
ground,  being  fired  by  an  incendiary.  These  investments,  in  the 
oil  regions,  were  not  a  monetary  success.  In  1866  he,  with 
three  others,  started  the  Banking  House  of  John  Bare  &  Co.,  in 
Huntingdon  County,  which  afterwards  became  the  Union  Bank, 
now  the  Union  National  Bank.  In  1869  he  built  a  second  tan- 
nery ;  this  was  leased  and  operated  by  Wm.  H.  Rosensteel  &  Son 
until  1873.  From  about  1870  toi872  he  and  John  H.  Miller  oper- 
ated the  steam  flour  mill  under  the  firm  name  of  Bare  &  Miller 
and  they  did  an  extensive  business  with  the  lumbermen  in  Clear- 
field County.  From  1873  to  1876  he  operated  the  lower  tannery 
and  made  leather  by  a  new  process.  It  was  called  Union  Crop 
Leather.  His  exhibit  at  the  Centennial  Exhibition  in  Philadel- 
phia in  1876  won  a  diploma  and  a  bronze  medal.  The  burning  of 
the  hotel  at  Franklin  was  a  great  loss  to  him,  and  this,  with  large 
payments  of  obligations  of  others  for  whom  he  was  surety,  so 
crippled  him  financially  that  he  was  unable  to  pull  through  the 
panic  of  1873-78,  and  made  an  assignment.  Because  of  over- 
work and  worr\',  his  health  was  so  much  impaired  that  for  some 
years  he  was  unable  to  do  much.  In  1886  he  leased  the  high 
grade  glass  sand,  and  was  instrumental,  together  with  the  Speer 
White  Sand  Co.,  of  Pittsburg,  in  building  the  large  plant,  known 
as  the  Empire  Works,  opposite  Alapleton.  It  was  while  engaged 
in  this  work  early  on  the  morning  of  July  6th,  1887,  while  driv- 
ing across  the  railroad  crossing  at  the  Mount  Union  station,  that 
his  horse  and  buggy  were  struck  by  a  fast  freight,  the  horse 
being  instantly  killed,  the  buggy  broken  to  pieces,  and  Mr.  Bare 
thrown  about  sixty  feet.  He  was  picked  up  in  an  unconscious 
condition  and  continued  so  for  sometime.  His  escape  was  mar- 
velous and  in  a  few  months  he  was  able  to  be  about.  But  he 
was  never  the  same  man  after  the  accident.  His  nerves  were 
shattered,  and  his  strong  constitution  was  badly  broken  by  that 
shock.  From  1888  to  1891  he  continued  prospecting  about  the 
mountains  and  ridges,  and  in  1891  he  leased  the  glass  sand  rock 
about  one  mile  west  of  Vineyard  Station,  in  Mifflin  County,  and 
with  parties  from  Pittsburg  built  the  plant  now  known  as  the 
Crystal  Sand  Works.  From  1893  until  a  year  or  two  before  his 
death,  he  had  been  testing  and  shipping  ganister  or  silica  rock,

(which  is  used  in  the  manufacture  of  fire  brick)  to  manufacturers 
in  different  parts  of  the  State.  He  was  desirous  that  a  plant  of 
this  kind  should  be  built  at  Mount  Union,  but  this  he  was  not 
permitted  to  see.  During  his  busy  life  he  gave  employment  to 
many  men,  and  because  of  his  kind  and  fair  treatment  he  was 
well  liked  and  respected  by  all.  He  was  a  man  of  progressive 
spirit  and  intelligence  and  established  a  select  school,  in  which 
the  higher  studies  were  taught.  This  school  was  held  for  some 
years  in  the  basement  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  a  part  of  which 
he  had  fitted  up  for  that  purpose.  He  was  a  man  of  liberal  spirit 
and  substantially  aided  both  the  Presbyterians  and  Methodists  in 
building  their  second  houses  of  worship.  He  took  an  active  part 
in  the  incorporation  of  the  town  and  filled  the  offices  of  Burgess, 
School  Director  and  Councilman.  He  united  with  the  Presbyter- 
ian Church  in  1878,  in  which  communion  he  passed  away.  With- 
in six  months  after  his  death,  fire  brick  works  were  built  by  par- 
ties he  had  interested  in  the  stone.  These,  in  a  few  years,  were 
very  largely  increased  in  size  and  are  now  one  of  the  largest  in 
the  State.  An  article  by  J.  G.  Hicks,  in  the  Mount  Union  Tzvice  a 
Week,  Oct.,  1909,  mentions  him  as  follows :  "Mr.  John  Bare  plan- 
ned and  fully  realized  in  his  mind,  and  events  have  long  since 
proven,  that  he  had  reasoned  carefully,  although  he  did  not  live 
to  see  his  long-cherished  and  wisely  thought-out  plans  brought 
to  perfection,  but  which  now  so  thoroughly  vindicate  his  at  that 
time — by  some  people  thought  to  be,  but  vague  theories  of  a  book 
worm  or  foolish  fancies  of  a  man  with  a  hobby." 

His  first  wife,  Elizabeth  Ricketts  (twin  with  Rachel),  was 
born  in  Hill  Valley,  September  25th,  1829.  She  died  in  Mount 
Union,  September  6th,  1865.  She  was  an  earnest  Christian,  a 
member  of  the  Methodist  Church.  In  late  years,  a  friend  in  writ- 
ing of  her  says,  "I  spent  a  part  of  two  years  in  Mrs.  Bare's  home 
and  in  that  time  I  learned  to  love  and  admire  her  for  her  gentle 
nature  and  her  kindness  to  every  one,  and  especially  for  her  beau- 
tiful Christian  life.  One  thing  especially  impressed  me  and  will 
always  stand  out  in  my  memory  and  that  was  her  great  love  and 
loyalty  to  her  heavenly  Father.  After  the  noon  day  meal,  it  was 
her  custom  to  quietly  withdraw  to  her  room  for  a  season  of 
prayer  and  devotion  and  no  doubt  for  His  guidance  in  the  rear-

ing  of  her  little  children,  all  of  whom  that  are  now  living  being 
members  of  the  church  of  her  faith.  Her  home  was  always  a 
resting  place  for  the  minister  of  the  gospel,  as  he  made  his  weary- 
rounds  on  the  circuit,  a  welcome  and  a  Christian  home  to  refresh 
himself  in."  Hers  was  one  of  those  quiet  gentle  natures  of 
even  balance,  which  nothing  seemed  to  disconcert.  She  was  a 
daughter  of  Hezekiah  Ricketts,  Jr.,  and  Elizabeth  Clark. 

Hezekiah  Ricketts,  Jr.,  was  born  in  Hill  Valley,  January 
22nd,  1792,  and  died  there  February  i6th,  1853.  He  lived  all  his 
life  on  the  old  homestead  of  his  father.  He  was  a  prominent  and 
successful  farmer.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  war  of  1812-15  and 
a  member  of  Captain  William  Morris'  Company  in  November, 
1813.  His  wife,  Elizabeth  Clark  (or  Clarke),  was  born  February 
22nd,  1792.  Her  parents  were  James  and  Elizabeth  Clark. 
They  lived  on  the  east  side  of  Chestnut  Ridge,  almost  opposite 
the  Ricketts  farm.  They  were  of  German  descent.  After  the 
death  of  her  husband,  she  removed  to  Shirleysburg  and  lived 
there  until  her  death,  September  23rd,  1863.  They  were  Meth- 
odists.    They  had  nine  children.

Hezekiah  Ricketts,  Jr.,  was  a  son  of  Hezekiah,  Sr.,  who  was 
born  February  22nd,  1754,  and  died  September  i6th,  1816.  He 
was  a  farmer  and  lived  on  the  homestead  in  Hill  Valley,  where 
he  seems  to  have  lived  as  early  as  1784.  His  wife's  name  was 
Hanna  Wilcox.  She  was  born  February  3rd,  1754,  and  died  in

Elizabeth  Clark,  The  Ricketts  had  a  grave-yard  on  the  home- 
stead, where  a  number  are  buried.  It  is  fenced  and  in  good  con- 
dition, located  on  the  part  of  the  farm  now  owned  by  Millard  F. 
Swope,  four  miles  south  of  Mount  Union.  Hezekiah  Ricketts, 
Sr.,  lived  in  Hill  Valley,  prior  to  1784.  His  father,  William, 
and  grandfather,  Zachariah,  both  lived  in  Rockbridge  County, 
Va.,  in  1784.  They  were  of  English  descent.  From  "Heads  of 
Families,  Census  of  1790,"  pp.  124  and  125,  we  learn  the  few 
families  by  name  of  Ricketts,  Rickets,  living  in  Huntingdon 
County,  were  the  only  ones  in  the  State  of  Pennsylvania.  Heze- 
kiah (Esika),  Joanna,  Reason,  Edward,  Chancy,  (these  last  three 
adjoining  each  other).  Edward,  Nathan  and  Richard.  "Jones' 
history  of  the  Juniata  Valley"  says  the  first  white  settlers  in  War- 
rior's Mark  were  the  Ricketts  family.  Captain  Elijah  Ricketts 
was  an  active  and  prominent  man.  His  house  was  made  into  a 
fort  during  the  Indian  troubles,  about  1775-80. 

John  Bare's  second  wife,  Evaline  Gertrude  Shaver,  was  born 
on  the  farm  just  east  of  Mt.  Union,  on  the  Shirley  road,  January 
1st,  1840,  and  has  spent  all  of  her  life  there  and  in  Mount  Union. 
She  united  with  the  Presbyterian  church  in  early  youth  and  has 
been  an  active  member.  She  and  her  daughter,  Edith  V.,  and 
her  son,  Lloyd  S.,  live  in  the  homestead  at  Mount  Union.  She  is 
a  daughter  of  Peter  R.  Shaver  and  Margaret  Morrow. 

Peter  R.  Shaver  was  born  in  the  stone  house,  Mount  Union, 
June  I2th,  1813,  and  died  May  5th,  1894,  in  Mount  Union,  where 
he  spent  the  last  years  of  his  life  as  a  retired  farmer,  having  lived 
on  the  farm  adjoining  town  since  his  marriage.  He  was  a  ruling 
elder  in  the  Presbyterian  church  for  forty  years,  in  which  faith 
his  family  was  raised.  His  wife,  Margaret  Morrow,  was  born  in 
Path  Valley,  Franklin  County,  Pa.,  September  23rd,  1816,  and 
died  in  Mount  Union,  July  24th,  1890.  She  was  a  life-long  mem- 
ber of  the  Presbyterian  Church.  Her  father.  Prof.  James  L. 
Morrow,  lived  near  Hollidaysburg  and  was  Principal  of  an 
academy  near  Chambersburg.  For  many  years  he  was  an  elder  in 
the  Presbyterian  Church.  Her  mother  was  Margaret  Alexander,

GENEALOGY  OF  JOHANNES  BAER,   I749-I9IO.  249 


KINDRKD   FAlVlIIvIKS 

Under  this  head  we  give  some  information  of  three  different 
famihes,  as  follows : 

FIRST. — Oe  the  Peter  Mathias  Family. 

This  family  is  one  of  interest  on  account  of  the  marriage  of 
his  two  daughters  by  his  first  wife,  Catharine  and  Elizabeth,  to 
two  brothers,  Daniel  Bare,  and  Benjamin  Bare,  sons  of  our 
Johannes  Baer.  The  Mathias  family  was  among  the  earliest 
settlers  of  York  County  and  were  generally  members  of  the 
Lutheran  church. 

We  find  from  the  records  of  Quickel's  church,  that  there 
were  members  of  six  dififerent  families  baptized  there  between 
1771  and  1827.     They  were  children  of  the  following  families : 

Henry  and  Dorthea  Mathias. 

John  and  Catharine  Mathias. 

Henry  and  Maria  Mathias. 

Henry  and  Anna  Mathias, 

Peter  and  Susan  Mathias. 

Henry  and  Susan  Mathias. 

One  of  these,  Daniel,  son  of  Peter  and  Susan  Mathias,  born 
November  nth,  1810,  and  baptized  at  Quickel's  Church  May  28th, 
181 1,  was  the  uncle  of  the  writer,  D.  M.  Bare.  The  church  named 
above  was  situated  about  three  miles  from  where  Peter  Mathias 
lived  and  is  now  called  Zion's  View.  Peter  Mathias  was  born  July 
15th,  1 768,  on  the  old  homestead  farm  in  Newberry  Township,  York 
County,  Pa.,  located  two  and  one-half  miles  west  of  what  is  now 
York  Haven,  on  the  Northern  Central  branch  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad,  not  far  from  the  Big  Conewago  Creek  and  about  five 
miles  from  the  Johannes  Baer  homestead.  (See  map.)  He  lived 
on  this  farm  all  his  life  and  died  at  the  home  of  his  son,  Daniel, 
August  2 1  St,  1846,  aged  78  years,  i  month  and  6  days.     He  is 


250  GENEALOGY    OF    JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO. 

buried  in  the  cemetery  in  connection  with  Quickel's  (Lutheran) 
church,  of  which  he  was  a  member,  situated  at  Zion's  View, 
Conewago  Township,  York  County,  Pa.,  about  three  miles  from 
his  home  in  Newberry  Township,  (see  map)  and  about  six  miles 
north  of  York.  The  dates  of  his  birth  and  death  were  copied 
from  his  tombstone.  He  was  a  successful  farmer  and  raised  a 
large  number  of  live  stock  which  were  driven  to  the  Baltimore 
market  and  sold.  After  his  death  the  farm  was  divided  into 
four  farms,  and  his  children  and  grandchildren  remained  on 
them  for  many  years,  one  of  which  is  now  occupied  by  Miss 
Eliza  Mathias  and  her  sister.  His  descendants  are  many  in  that 
section  of  York  County,  at  the  present  time.  He  was  married 
three  times.  His  first  wife  was  Nancy  Nisley  of  Dauphin 
County,  mother  of  Catharine  and  Elizabeth,  above  mentioned. 
No  record  of  her  birth  or  death  has  been  found.  Her  ancestors 
no  doubt  were  one  of  the  large  number  of  families,  by  name  of 
Nisley  or  Nissley,  living  in  the  adjoining  county  of  Lancaster. 
A  number  of  the  men  of  those  families  were  ministers  of  the 
gospel.  A  very  devout,  religious  people.  His  second  wife  was 
Susan  Bush,  whose  parents  lived  near  his  own  home.  Their 
children  were : 

John,  Jacob,  Martin,  Daniel,  Henry,  Peter,  Mary  (Polly), 
Susan  and  Nancy. 

John  Mathias  married  Elizabeth  Croul,  of  near  Safe  Harbor, 
I^ancaster  County,  Pa.     They  had  a  family. 

Jacob  Mathias  married  Susan  Shetter  from  near  Strines- 
town,  York  County,  Pa.     They  had  a  family. 

Martin  Mathias  never  married. 

Daniel  Mathias  married  Catharine  Zeigler,  of  Glen  Rock, 
York  County,  Pa.     They  had  a  family. 

Henry  Mathias  married  Sarah  Repman  of  Strinestown,  York 
County,  Pa.     They  had  a  family. 

Peter  Mathias  married  Sarah  Malehorn,  of  near  Newberry- 
town,  York  County,  Pa.     They  had  a  family. 

Mary  (Polly)  Mathias  married  Jacob  Fisher  of  Fishing 
Creek  Valley,  Newberry  Township,  York  County,  Pa. 


GENEALOGY   Olf    JOHANNES   BAER,    I749-I9IO.  25I 

Susan  Mathias  married  Peter  Grass,  of  near  Manchester, 
York  County,  Pa. 

Nancy  Mathias  married  George  Machlin  of  near  Manchester, 
York  County,  Pa.  His  third  wife  was  Barbara  Shuman,  a 
widow,  whose  maiden  name  was  Detwiler.  She  was  from  Lan- 
cester  County.  They  had  no  children.  She  is  buried  in  the  Baer 
Cemetery.  Daniel  Mathias,  son  of  Peter,  was  the  administrator 
of  his  estate  and  Granville  Mathias,  his  son,  of  Goldsboro,  was  the 
administrator  of  Daniel's  estate.  Granville  found  a  number  of 
old  deeds  and  other  papers  in  the  name  of  Mathias  among-  his 
father's  papers.  Those  were  written  in  German,  and  as  the  two 
estates  were  settled  up,  they  were  thought  to  be  of  no  further  use 
and  he  burned  them.  Mrs.  Daniel  Westhaber,  of  Steelton,  a 
daughter  of  Daniel  Mathias,  has  the  old  "grandfather's"  clock 
that  belonged  to  her  grandfather,  Peter  Mathias. 

A  large  part  of  the  information  given  above  was  sent  in 
February,  1901,  by  Mrs.  Caroline  Orendorf,  of  Middletown, 
Dauphin  County,  Pa.,  whose  maiden  name  was  Zeigler.  She  had 
her  home  for  some  time  with  her  sister,  Catharine,  who  was  the 
wife  of  Daniel  Mathias,  a  son  of  Peter,  who  lived  on  part  of  the 
old  homestead,  and  at  whose  home  Peter  died.  Some  time  in 
July,  1904,  I  received  a  letter  from  Miss  Eliza  Jane  Mathias, 
Cly  P.  O.,  York  County,  Pa.,  a  daughter  of  Peter  Mathias,  Jr. 
And  some  time  in  April,  1907,  from  Granville  Mathias,  Golds- 
boro, (Etters  P.  O.)  York  County,  Pa.,  a  son  of  Daniel. 

SECOND. — Oe    Jacob    Bear,    of    Newberry    and    Fairview 
Township,  York  County,  Pa. 

Robert  C.  Bair,  Esq.,  of  York,  Pa.,  who  made  a  careful  ex- 
amination of  the  records  of  Lancaster  and  York  Counties,  in 
making  his  report  to  us  of  his  work,  makes  the  following  mention 
of  Jacob  Bear  of  Newberry  and  Fairview  Township. 

The  particular  Jacob,  of  Newberry  and  Fairview,  who  was 
contemporaneous  with  your  John  of  Newberry,  has  Interested  me 
in  examining  your  case.  Jacob  Bear,  of  Newberry  and  Fairview 
had  the  following  children  : 


252  GENEALOGY    OF    JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO. 

Emanuel,  Jacob,  Susanna,  wife  of  Peter  Schrieber ;  Elizabeth, 
wife  of  Christian  Burger ;  Englehart,  Barbara,  wife  of  Samuel 
Johnston ;  Catherine,  wife  of  Jacob  Wolf ;  Anna,  Sarah,  wife  of 
Arnold  Spink,  of  Westphalia,  (now  Wrightsville),  York  County, 
and  John. 

The  York  County  records  show  that  Jacob  Bear,  of  New- 
berry and  Fairview  Townships,  purchased  six  different  tracts  of 
land  aggregating  575  acres,  most  of  it  situated  in  Newberry 
Township,  between  the  years  of  1782  and  1802,  all  of  which  he 
probably  owned  at  the  time  of  his  death,  except  twenty-five  acres 
situated  on  the  Conewago  Creek,  which  he  had  sold  to  his  son 
Emanuel,  in  the  year  1800.  The  records  further  show  that  on 
December  15th,  1815,  Emanuel  Bear,  oldest  son  of  Jacob  Bear, 
of  Newberry  Township,  who  died  intestate,  presented  a  petition 
to  court  on  behalf  of  himself  and  the  children  of  Jacob  Bear, 
deceased,  all  of  full  age  as  named  above.  On  April  17th,  1817, 
Emanuel  Bear  filed  an  account  as  administrator  of  his  father's 
estate,  showing  a  balance  in  his  hands  of  $3,678.95.  On  Novem- 
ber 26th,  1824.  Emanuel  Bear  executed  a  deed  to  Jacob  Bear, 
of  Conewago  Township  for  153  acres  on  the  banks  of  the  Big 
Conewago  Creek,  called  "Stoneburg."  This  Jacob  was  no 
doubt  Emanuel's  brother  and  second  child  of  Jacob,  who  died  in 
1815. 

Emanuel  Bear,  oldest  child  of  Jacob  Bear,  of  Newberry  and 
Fairview,  was  married  to  Catherine  (her  maiden  name  un- 
known). He  was  a  prominent  and  wealthy  citizen  of  that  com- 
munity. He  was  the  guardian  of  Henry,  David  and  Abraham, 
sons  of  Johannes  and  Mar)^  Baer,  of  Newberry  Township.  There 
was  a  friendly  and  close  relationship  existing  between  the  families 
of  Johannes  Baer  and  Jacob  Bear,  and  to  the  certain  knowledge 
of  the  writer  received  from  his  father,  Daniel  Bare,  he  knows 
that  Emanuel,  son  of  Jacob,  was  a  blood  relation  of  the  Johannes 
Baer  family,  but  whether  brothers  or  cousins  he  is  not  able  to 
say. 

The  following  information  as  to  this  relationship  was  re- 
ceived from  Mrs.  Rebecca  (Lefifard)  Sprankle,  the  widow  of  the 
late  Samuel  Sprankle,  of  Altoona.     Mrs.  Sprankle's  maiden  name 


GENEALOGY    OF    JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO.  253 

was  Leffard.  Her  mother  was  Sarah  Bear,  a  daughter  of  Engle- 
hart  Bear  or  Bair,  who  died  near  Warrior's  Mark,  Huntingdon 
County,  Pa.,  and  with  his  wife  is  probably  buried  in  the  cemetery 
at  Warrior's  Mark.  Sarah  (Bear)  Lefifard  had  a  brother, 
Emanuel  Bare,  who  lived  near  Shade  Gap,  Pa.,  and  died  in  1901. 
He  was  the  father  of  John  C.  Bare,  at  present  one  of  the  directors 
of  the  poor  in  Huntingdon  County,  Pa.  Englehart  Bear  was  no 
doubt  the  son  of  Jacob,  of  Newberry  and  Fairview,  who  died  in 
1815.

"THK   BAER    FAMII^Y   ASSOCIA- 
TION (Incorporated) 

The  Baer  Family  Association,  this  is  one  of  the  prominent 
famiHes  of  that  name  whose  ancestors  settled  in  Lehigh  County, 
and  many  of  their  descendants  still  live  in  Lehigh  and  Berks 
Counties. 

The  Baer  family  association  (incorporated),  which  holds  its 
annual  reunion  at  Kutztown  Park,  Kutztown,  Pa.,  is  made  up  of 
the  descendants  of  Johannes,  Christopher  and  Melchoir  Baer, 
There  is  a  tradition  that  these  three  persons  were  brothers,  but 
up  to  the  present  time,  no  documentary  evidence  has  been  pre- 
sented to  establish  the  claim.  This  much  has  been  established, 
they  came  in  the  same  ship  (The  Phoenix,  September  30th, 
1743),  settled  in  the  same  County  of  Lehigh,  then  a  part  of 
Northampton  and  were  confirmed  members  of  the  Reformed 
church.  Most  of  the  Baers,  of  Berks  and  Lehigh  counties,  are 
descendants  of  Johannes  (Hans)  Baer.  He  settled  in  Weisen- 
burg  township,  Lehigh  County,  some  time  prior  to  1749,  on  a 
farm  about  one  mile  south  of  Clausville.  In  1750  his  name  ap- 
pears on  the  Ziegel  church  record,  as  one  of  the  founders.  To 
him  and  his  wife  were  born  four  sons,  one  of  whom  died  in  in- 
fancy and  was  buried  at  the  Weisenburg  Church.  He  was  born 
September  9th,  1749.  John,  Adam,  Jacob  and  Barbara.  Johannes 
died  prior  to  December,  1759.  His  widow,  Regina,  was  married 
a  second  time  to  Peter  Grow,  Jr.  John  moved  to  Windsor,  Berks 
County,  and  his  descendants  live  in  Hamburg,  Windsor,  Perry, 
and  Bern  townships.  Barbara  married  Henry  Fetter  and  lived 
in  Allentown.  Adam  located  in  what  is  now  called  "Baer 
Valley,"  near  the  present  town  of  Seipstown.  He  had  seven 
sons  and  five  daughters.  John,  Jacob,  Daniel,  John,  Peter, 
Henry,  Jonathan,  David,  Catharine,  married  to  Moses  Cain. 
Margretha,  Elizabeth  married  Falk. 

Jacob,  1745-1810,  the  youngest  son  of  Hans,  obtained  the

old  homestead  and  added  to  it  until  it  embraced  over  five  hundred 
acres.  His  wife's  name  was  Elizabeth.  She  was  born  March 
5th,  1748  and  died  June  5th.  1818.  To  them  were  born  twelve 
children,  six  sons  and  six  daughters.  Among  his  sons  were 
Jacob  and  Daniel,  who  lived  and  died  in  Weisenburg.  John  who 
moved  to  Adams  County,  Henry  who  moved  to  Luzerne  County 
and  John  Adam,  who  moved  to  Maxatawny  Township  near 
Kutztown. 

The  children  of  John  Adam  were  Jonathan,  1796-1878,  who 
lived  in  Greenwich  Township;  John,  who  married  Catharine 
Adam,  and  had  nine  children,  among  whom  is  Samuel  A.  Baer, 
Ph.  D.,  President  of  Royal  Front  College,  Virginia ;  Peter,  who 
lived  at  Raisin,  Michigan.  His  descendants  hold  yearly  reunions. 
Charles,  who  lived  at  Topton,  Berks  County,  and  was  the  father 
of  eleven  children,  and  is  the  grandfather  of  the  writer;  Solomon, 
who  moved  to  Akron,  Ohio.  The  daughters  were :  Lydia,  Polly, 
Betsy  and  Susanna.  Melchoir  lives  in  Macunzie  Township, 
Lehigh  County,  where  he  owned  several  large  farms.  He  had 
eight  children,  among  whom  Melchoir  and  Jacob  became  the 
progenitors  of  large  families. 

Melchoir,  Jr.,  married  Catherine  Desch  and  had  ten  children: 
David,  Jacob,  Polly,  Elizabeth,  Charles,  George,  Samuel,  Henry, 
Susan  and  Catherine. 

Jacob  was  the  father  of  eleven  children :  Rachel,  George, 
Joseph  Melchoir,  Samuel,  Susan,  Judith,  Ephraim,  Elizabeth, 
Manasses  and  Benjamin.  Of  these  Samuel  migrated  to  Mount 
Wolf,  York  County,  and  Benjamin  and  Manasses  to  Newberry 
of  the  same  county.  The  last  of  the  trio  was  Christopher,  known 
among  his  neighbors  as  Stoffel.  Prior  to  his  coming  to  this 
county,  he  had  patented  to  himself  560  acres  of  land  in  White- 
hall Township,  Lehigh  County  several  miles  east  of  Johannes.  He 
had  six  children :  Heinrich,  who  obtained  the  old  homestead,  but 
sold  it  prior  to  1800,  and  went  to  what  was  then  called  the  west. 
John  moved  to  Romney  County,  Virginia,  where  he  died  without 
issue.  Melchoir  lived  in  Whitehall  Township  and  had  four  chil- 
dren. Henry,  a  grandson  still  owns  a  part  of  the  original  tract. 
Jacob,  the  youngest  son  of    Christopher,    settled    in    Maryland, 


GENEALOGY   OF    JOHANNES   BAER,    I749-I9IO.  259 

where  he  died  in  1823.  He  was  the  father  of  six  sons.  Solomon, 
the  youngest  of  these  died  at  Somerset,  Pa.,  in  1883,  in  his 
ninetieth  year.  He  was  the  father  of  George  F.  Baer,  president 
of  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading  Railway,  Ex-Judge  William 
Baer  and  Herman  C.  Bare,  Esq.,  of  Somerset,  Pa.  The  latter  is 
the  father  of  Dr.  Herman  Baer,  who  married  Mabel  McKinley, 
a  niece  of  President  Wm.  McKinley.  Christophel  Baer  came 
direct  from  Zweibrucken,  in  Germany,  to  Pennsylvania.  The 
old  Baer  homestead  in  the  Palatinate  was  for  generations  known 
as  Baren  Hutte.  When  Christophel  bought  his  tract  of  land,  the 
English  agent,  eager  to  transplant  the  German  name  Baren 
Hutte,  called  it  "Bruins  Rest."  There  is  also  a  tradition  that 
one,  Peter  von  Baer,  had  been  married  to  a  daughter  of  the 
Count  of  the  Palatinate,  and  in  this  way  established  rank  for  the 
Zweibrucken  family. 

The  coat  of  arms  consists  of  a  shield  prominently  displaying 
a  bear  carrying  a  sheaf  of  wheat.  As  stated  above,  a  family 
association  has  been  formed  for  the  purpose  of  gathering  family 
data  of  all  those  who  bear  the  name  of  Baer.  The  stock  certifi- 
cates are  issued  to  any  one  of  Baer  descent  and  who  obligates 
himself  to  contribute  one  dollar  a  year  to  the  association.  A 
life  membership  certificate  may  be  obtained  by  paying  the  sum  of 
ten  dollars.  Address  all  communication  to  the  secretary,  F.  N. 
Baer,  Kutztown,  Pa.

CONCIvUSION 

At  last  we  have  finished  our  search  for  the  descendants  of 
Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  Baer,  and  will  therefore  briefly  write 
up  the  last  chapter  of  the  "Baer  History." 

In  our  search  we  have  found  something  more  than  1,400  of 
these  descendants.  In  the  summaries  of  each  family  given  in  this 
book,  there  are  the  names  of  1,399  persons.  In  a  few  instances 
we  were  unable  to  obtain  names.  Our  correspondents  knew  that 
there  were  a  given  number  of  persons  in  a  family,  but  were  un- 
able to  obtain  the  names.  This  would  probably  account  for,  from 
20  to  30  additional  persons. 

There  is  at  least  one  family  that  might  have  added  consider- 
able to  the  above  list,  if  it  could  have  been  found.  That  of 
Samuel  Baer,  the  first  child  of  John  and  Catharine  Baer,  who  was 
born  about  1801.  He  probably  married  in  York  county,  and 
moved  from  there  to  Ohio,  but  later  on  moved  farther  West,  and 
was  reported  to  have  been  killed  by  the  Indians. 

He  had  one  son,  who  the  writer  once  met  when  boys,  and  he 
believes  he  had  other  children,  but  we  have  been  unable  to  locate 
any  of  them.  Hence  it  is  not  improbable  that  there  are  as  many 
as  1,500  descendants  of  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  Baer,  of  whom 
something  more  than  a  thousand  are  living  at  this  time.  They 
are  mostly  of  the  fourth,  fifth  and  sixth  generations.  Only  three 
of  the  third  generation  were  living  June  ist,  1910.  These  are 
Martin  E.  Bare,  of  Hummelstown,  Pa.;  Mrs.  Anna  (Bare)  Car- 
ver, of  Huntingdon,  Pa.,  and  the  writer,  D.  M.  Bare,  of  Roaring 
Spring,  Pa.  Of  the  seventh  generation,  we  found  at  the  time 
this  book  was  compiled,  fifteen  in  the  John  Baer  family,  fifteen 
in  the  Ceorge  Bear  family  and  three  in  the  Jacob  Bare  family. 

The  descendants  of  Johannes  and  Anna  Maria  Baer  are 
scattered  over  at  last  twenty-four  States  and  Territories. 

The  present  address  of  between  seven  and  eight  hundred  of 
them  will  be  found  in  this  volume.  Our  summaries  show  233 
persons,  answering  to  the  name  of  Baer,  written  five  different 
ways,  as  follows :    Baer,  Bear,  Bare,  Bair  and  Barr.    A  majorit>- 


GENEALOGY    OF   JOHANNES   BAER,    I749-I9IO.  26I 

of  them  at  the  present  time  are  writing  it  "Bare."  Other  names 
are  as  follows :  Of  Swopes,  48 ;  of  Fortenbaughs,  41 ;  of  Fu- 
gates,  34 ;  of  Anthonys,  25 ;  of  Millers,  25 ;  of  Spanogles,  24 ;  of 
Gorman,  22;  of  Carvers,  22;  of  Douglas,  21 ;  of  Stroheckers,  21 ; 
of  Mansbergers,  18;  of  Ketterings,  18;  of  Kleppers,  18;  of 
Krigers,  17;  of  Bowers,  15;  of  Harts,  15;  of  Brumgarts,  15;  of 
Fursts,  15;  and  of  Shaffers,  15.  Other  prominent  families  were 
Dunmires,  Zorgers,  Myers,  Lamisons,  Frees,  Notters,  Basslers, 
Barndollars,  Jordans,  Thomas,  Schracks,  Leases  and  others. 

The  occupations  and  professions  of  descendants  of  Johannes 
and  Anna  Maria  Baer  are  many  and  various.  Counting  by 
families,  there  are  several  hundred  engaged  in  farming.  Then 
follows  in  the  order  named : 

Merchants,  teachers,  clerks,  salesmen,  railroad  men,  manu- 
facturers, carpenters,  clergymen,  lawyers,  physicians,  managers, 
bankers,  etc. 

Ceneraily  speaking  the  descendants  of  Johannes  and  Maria 
Baer  are  a  religious  people  and  hold  their  membership  in  about 
15  different  denominations,  with  those  of  the  Methodist  faith 
largely  in  the  lead.  Our  record  gives  the  names  of  200  Metho- 
dists, 119  Lutherans,  104  Reformed,  95  Presbyterians.  Then 
follows  in  the  order  named:  The  Church  of  the  Brethren,  the 
Church  of  God,  the  Christian  Church,  the  United  Brethren 
Church,  the  Evangelical  church,  the  Baptist  Church,  the  River 
Brethren,  the  Catholic,  and  the  Congregational  Churches. 

We  do  not  claim  to  have  a  full  and  complete  record  of  the 
church  affiliation  of  each  person,  as  in  some  cases  it  was  impossi- 
ble to  obtain  them,  and  the  same  is  true  of  the  occupations  and 
professions.  Yet  our  record,  although  not  as  complete  as  we 
would  wish  it,  shows  beyond  a  doubt  that  our  people  are  both 
prosperous  and  religious,  and  are  doing  what  they  can  to  make 
this  world  better  and  are  therefore  making  the  necessary  prep- 
arations for  the  life  which  is  to  come. 

As  a  family  we  have  been  well  provided.  Our  lives  have 
been  surrounded  with  pure,  simple,  religious  environments.  In 
our  various  undertakings  and  ventures,  we  have  been  prosper- 
ous and  our  health  and  happiness  ideal.     Let  us  therefore  "fear 


262  GENE;aW)GY   Olf    JOHANNES    BAER,    I749-I9IO, 

God  and  keep  his  commandments  for  this  is  the  whole  duty  of 
man,"  as  is  given  us  in  the  13th  verse  of  the  12th  chapter  of  Eccl. ; 
and  these  lines  do  we  most  reverently  commend  to  our  posterity 
and  our  readers. 

Our  self-imposed  task  is  now  finished.  It  has  cost  us  much 
labor,  but  it  has  also  afforded  considerable  pleasure,  and  we  hope 
that  the  perusal  of  its  pages  will  be  a  pleasant  pastime  to  its  read- 
ers, to  all  of  whom  we  extend  our  fraternal  greetings. 

Daniel  Mathias  Bare.
