PREFACE


1169830


N presenting to their patrons The Biographical Annals of Cumberland County the publishers feel that they are meeting what is now recognized as a necessity in every intelligent community. Even public records now show a diversity of statistics that would have been considered absolutely unprofitable not many years ago. Until recently works of this nature have been limited to biographies of public men and the family genealogies prepared by the appreciative few who recognized the worth of such records. Much might be said of their present and future value; we will only call attention to the important fact that they perpetuate information now readily obtainable and hence lightly valued, but easily lost, the value of which is not always apparent until too late.


As the title indicates, the book is devoted to biography. But these biographies, portraying as they do the lives of many men who were most intimately connected with the making of history in the early days of the Cumberland Valley, contain much historical matter and thus have a double value to the thoughtful reader. Many of these sketches have been compiled by Mr. Jeremiah Zeamer, who has devoted much time and study to historical research. The data have been obtained principally from those immediately interested and the various items of historical interest are well authenticated and possess a lasting worth enhanced by the fact that many of them would be preserved in no other way.


We take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the help and encourage- ment we have received in the county, and the volume is issued in the belief that it will form a worthy addition to the private or public library.

BIOGRAPHICAL.


CHRISTIAN PHILIP HUMRICH. The Humrichs are of German descent. Christian Humrich, the grandfather of the subject of this sketch, came to America in 1793. He settled in Pennsylvania, and on the 14th of June, 1802, before Hon. Hugh H. Brackenridge, a Justice of the Supreme Court, presiding in the circuit court of Lan- caster, he "abjured all allegiance and fidelity to Charles Theodore August Christian, Elec- torate Prince of the Palatinate in Germany, of whom he was heretofore a subject," and was duly naturalized. He was a saddler by trade. In 1807 he removed with his family to Carlisle, where he took possession of the "Black Bear Inn" property, which he had bought at sheriff's sale in September, 1806. This property is situated on the northwest corner of Hanover and Louther streets, and has been in the Humrich name ever since, being now owned by Christian Philip Hum- rich. Here Christian Humrich kept hotel and carried on the saddle and harnessmaking business until 1824, when he retired from the active duties of life. He died on Oct. 22. 1842, aged about ninety-four years. He was a successful business man and owned much desirable property in and about the town. He also took a live interest in the various public enterprises of his day, and was a member of the building committee that


erected the town hall which stood on the court house square near where the soldiers' monument now stands. For their services he and the other members of the commit- tee were awarded a vote of thanks by the Cumberland Fire Company, as appears by the minutes of that organization. He was an active member of the German (now the First) Lutheran Church of Carlisle, took a prominent part in liquidating the debt in- curred in 1807 by the erection of the first brick church building, on Bedford near Louther street, and at different times served as vestryman and treasurer. On the 20th of April, 1840, when over ninety years of age, as an "inspector," he helped to conduct the election of church officers, as appears by the certificate of that election which is still in existence.
