he died, his widow remaining with the same daugh- ter. The union of Peter R. and Priscilla R. Landis was blessed with five children (ninth generation), viz. : Walter B., Emeline B., Pierce B., and Bessie B., all at home, and one that died. Peter R. Landis was a successful farmer. He is a director on the board of the Manheim Township Mutual Fire In- surance Company and a director in the Union Trust Company of Lancaster, which was opened for busi- ness in the spring of 1902.

(VIII) Isaac R. Landis, fifth son of Henry L. and Catharine S. Landis, is now living on the farm where the Landises first settled in Manheim town- ship, on the Reading road, near the Stone Bridge and the Landis Valley Old Mennonite meeting- house. This farm was first settled by a Snavely and afterward bought by Benjamin Landis, his brother- in-law, and is now in the possession of the Landises for the sixth generation, since 1751. Revolutionary soldiers used to camp in the meadows of this farm. Isaac R. Landis married Mary Landis Brubaker, eldest daughter of the late Peter Brubaker, of Lea- cock township, and their union was blessed with three children (ninth generation), viz. : Charley B., Lillie B. and Elmer B., all at home. Mr. Landis has re- peatedly been offered the office of school director, which he declined. He has been one of the auditors of Manheim township for quite a while, and is a director in the Lancaster & Ephrata Turnpike Com- pany. In general, he has been a very successful farmer.

(VIII) Jacob R. Landis, sixth son of Henry L. and Catharine S. Landis is now living on and owns the farm where Henry L., his father, resided and reared his family. He married Annie Buckwalter Hess, only daughter of Henry Hess of Manheim township, near Lancaster, and they have been blessed with children as follows ( ninth generation) : Henry H., John H., Warren H., Katie H., and Simon H., all at home, attending school.

(VIII) Israel R. Landis, seventh son of Henry L. and Catharine S. Landis, is now residing on the Andrew Hauck farm, near Landis Valley. He is married to Susan Rohrer Sechrist, eldest daughter of Michael Sechrist, of Columbia, Pa., and to their union have come two children: Irvin, who met an accidental death. by burning : and Mamie, at home. (VIII) Annie R. Landis, eldest daughter of Henry L. and Catharine S. Landis, was married to Benjamin Hershey Brubaker, eldest son of the late Jacob Brubaker, of Elizabeth township, and lived near Petersburg, in East Hempfield township. They were blessed with seven children : Emma, the eldest child, married Roy Kendig, of West Willow : Ele- nora married John Meyers of York county, and has two children ; Landis L., Frances L., Benjamin L., Annie L., and Clara L. are all at home and attending school.

(VIII) Lizzie R. Landis, second daughter of Henry L. and Catharine S. Landis, is married to Henry Stoner Miller, elder son of Elias Miller.

(VIII) Clara R. Landis, youngest daughter of Henry L. and Catharine S. Landis, is married to William Weidman, of Elizabeth township, son of Eli Weidman. They live near Lexington, Lancaster county, and have one child, Catharine, who is at home.

All the farms originally owned by a Landis in Lancaster county, are still in the possession of that family-a very singular thing for so large a family to hold their own and acquire more-except one now in the possession of Lemon Shirk, near Oregon, Lan- caster county. Among them there were six ordained ministers of the Gospel of the Old Mennonite faith ; one associate judge: lawyers, doctors, statesmen ; men of wealth and high standing in business and so- cial life. Most of them still adhere to their mother Church, the Old Mennonite faith. Lancaster county owes much to this family in the matter of agri- cultural progress, as nearly all, with few exceptions, were farmers.

SAMUEL, TENNIS. Among the prosperous and enterprising old settlers of Drumore township is Samuel Tennis, a farmer who resides one mile north of Furniss, Pa. He was born May 7. 1835, a son of Israel and Elizabeth (Lukins) Tennis, of Montgomery, Pennsylvania.

In 1830 the parents came to Lancaster county and settled on the farm now owned by Samuel Ten- nis. The following children were born to the par- ents : Emiline ; Sarah; Enos, who died young; Mary Jane : Lukins ; Samuel ; Hannah M .: Anna M .; William : Benjamin F .. of Drumore township; and Enos (2), of Kansas.

Israel Tennis was a son of Samuel Tennis and the grandfather had a family as follows: Israel, Samuel, Rachel, Mary, Lavina. Jane and Eliza. all of whom are deceased except Jane. The maternal grandfather, Enos Lukins, was a native of Mont- gomery county and the father of the following chil- dren : William, Abraham, Enos, Elizabeth, Mariah,

Sarah, Hannah and Margaret, all deceased. Israel Tennis, the father of Samuel, was born in 1800 and died about 1882, while his wife was born in 1805 and died in 1896, aged ninety-onc.

Samuel Tennis, of whom we write, was married in 1859 to Miss Mary Rutter of Bucks county, Pa., daughter of John Rutter. Six children were born of this marriage: James, deceased ; Charles, who mar- ried Mary Alice Ritchie, of York county ; William, cleceased ; Bromley, who died young ; Benjamin, of New York State; and Clinton E., of York, Pa., a machinist by trade. After the death of his first wife Mr. Tennis married Susan Gumpf, of Lancaster City, and she died in ISOS, leaving no issue.

The early life of Mr. Tennis was spent upon the farm, attending the district school. Starting out in life a poor man, by hard work he has earned an ex- cellent farm of 200 acres, which is well improved and in a good state of cultivation. In religious mat- ters he is a Quaker, and in politics a Republican, serving as supervisor and township auditor. After a long life of industry, he is now living retired and is cared for by his sister, Anna M. Tennis, a maiden lady. No one is more highly respected in the com- munity than this good man and his estimable sister and they are recognized as kind neighbors and plain, honest people.

SAMUEL BACHMAN, in his lifetime an hon- ored and industrious farmer of Bart township, Lan- caster county, was born near Georgetown, Aug. 19, 1791, his parents being Jacob and Ann (Heidel- baugh) Bachman.

Jacob Bachman, who was born in 1762, was the son of Felix Bachman. Felix Bachman came from Switzerland when a young man and settled in Bart township, where he owned 800 acres of land, which was divided among his children. Jacob and George were his two sons ; Margaret Ann, the oldest daugh- ter, married Simeon Geise, and died in Bart town- ship; Barbara and Ann Margaret married two brothers by the name of Pickle, and spent their lives in Bart township.

Jacob Bachman was the father of a family of five children: George, the oldest; Elizabeth Bach- man, the wife of Solomon Hamer, of Bart township; Mary Bachman, married to Adam Fogle, of Bart township ; Jacob Bachman, who lived and died on the old homestead : Samtiel.

Samnel Bachman was reared in Bart township, where he married for his first wife Rebecca Baird, born in Bart township in 1794. They settled at the Green Tree for a time and then moved to White Hall, where the wife died in 1830, leaving four chil- dren, two of whom are now living: John Baird Bachman, a resident of Columbia ; Hiram F. Bach- man, killed by lightning in 1850: Samuel H. Bach- man, who died when a young man : Ann Amanda Bachman, unmarried and an invalid, living on the old homestead.

Mr. Bachman married for his second wife, in

September, 1834, Miss Isabella Bower, born in Vir- ginia in 1798. She died in Bart township in Oc- tober, 1841, leaving two daughters and one son : Harriet E., born and reared in Bart township, living at the old home from which she buried her par- ents, and much respected and loved for her many kindly qualities ; Rebecca, who was educated in the home schools and in the State Normal at Millersville, taught private school in Lancaster county for sev- eral years, and lives at the old home; William B., who died in childhood.

Mr. Bachman married for his third wife, in 1844, Miss Hannah Pickle, a lady born and reared in Bart township, by whom he had one daughter, Hannah M., born in 1846, and for a number of years a very successful teacher in Lancaster county. She is now the wife of James Irwin and has three children, H. Mabel, Sarah B. and Mary G.

In 1849 Mr. Bachman bought the farm where his daughters are now living. It adjoins George- town, and there he erected good buildings and made many permanent and valuable improvements. He also owned a valuable farm near White Hall. He died in 1882.

Religiously Mr. Bachman was connected with the Presbyterian Church, as were all his daughters excepting Rebecca, who is a Methodist. In politics he was a Whig, and later a Republican. He was one of the first school directors in the town. His four daughters, noted above, are all that is left of this historic family. They are ladies whose deeds of kindness and thoughtfulness have endeared them to the community.

JOHN KEAGY STONER. for twenty-nine years the head of the well-known hardware and house furnishing firm of Stoner, Shreiner & Co., of Lan- caster, and now living retired in his home at No. 543 North Duke street, is one of the most conspicu- otis and well known figures in Lancaster. No man in the city is better known or more highly respected.

Jacob Stoner, the grandfather of John K., was born in this country, and engaged in farming on Long lane, below New Danville.

Christian Stoner, son of Jacob, was born on the old Stoner homestead, and became a miller and farmer. He married Miss Anna Resh, daughter of Henry Resh, who was a justice of the peace, and one of the most prominent citizens of Pequea town- ship. Thirteen children were born to them, of whom four are living: Christian, a retired mer- chant of Freeport, III. ; Eli, a veterinary surgeon of Salunga : Amos, a farmer of Dauphin county ; and John K., of Lancaster.

Jolin Keagy Stoner was born near Petersburg March 25, 1833, and was educated in the schools of West Hempfield township. Leaving school, he he- gan work on his father's farm, and when he was quite a young man went to Freeport, Ill., to take a position as clerk in a grocery store. At the end 1 of three years he threw up his position and returned

to his native State. Settling on his father's farm near Salunga, in Lancaster county, he continued on the farm for three years after his marriage. After spending three years in the cultivation of the old homestead, and three years at Neffsville, Mr. Stoner came to Lancaster and engaged in business as a butcher for six years. At the end of that time he quit the shop and bought the building at the south- west corner of North Queen and Walnut streets, which soon became widely known throughout the county as Stoner, Shreiner & Co.'s Corner. There for twenty-nine years Mr. Stoner was steadily at his business, being absent only three weeks in all that period. The firm, which consisted of J. K. Stoner, Isaac T. Shreiner and J. Newton Stauffer, carried on a most successful business. In the spring of 1901 Mr. Stoner retired from active business, and the firm became Shreiner & Stauffer. Mr. Stoner was one of the chief promoters of the Northern Market House, of which he was also a director for some eighteen years. It was Mr. Stoner, associated with his partners, who started the movement that resulted in the building of the Northern National Bank, in which he was for many years a director. These two projects have had much to do with the development of the substantial busi- ness interests of that section of the city.

Mr. Stoner was united in marriage with Char- lotte Evans, daughter of John Evans, and 'sister of David Evans, for many years superintendent of pub- lic schools for Lancaster county, and justly regarded as one of the foremost educators of the State. The Evans family is one of the oldest and most highly respected in this section of the county. Five chil- dren were born to Mr. and Mrs. Stoner, of whom only two are living: (1) Elmer E., now connected with the establishment of Shreiner & Stauffer, mar- ried Sarah, daughter of the late Samuel Groff, a well-remembered citizen of Lancaster, and they have had four children, Kathryn and John K., Jr., liv- ing ; Helen, who died at the age of four years; and one that died in infancy. (2) Harry E. is now in Europe in the interest of the Standard Oil Com- pany, having been sent there by that corporation with a view to his establishing his permanent resi- dence abroad to attend to the many and compli- cated interests of that great corporation ; his selec- tion for this delicate and responsible position by this great institution is an expression of remarkable confidence in so young a man.

It is impossible in so brief a sketch as this to fully portray the life of one who has been so prominent in business affairs as has Mr. Stoner. It gives but a glimpse at his career and those from whom he is descended, as well as his descendants. Religiously he is descended from that sturdy set known as the Dunkards. In politics he is a Republican. Keen in his observation of men and events, intelligent in his conversation, and social in his nature, Mr. Stoner seems as vigorous, mentally and physically, as though in the very prime of manhood, although he

has long since passed the age at which men are thought to be turning to driftwood. By careful living and regular habits, he has so preserved him- self that he gives promise of many years in the enjoyment of his well-earned retirement.

JACOB E. STAUFFER, a general farmer of very high reputation, and a justice of the peace at Sporting Hill, Rapho township, Lancaster county, was born two miles south of Sporting Hill, in that township, Feb. 20, 1837, a son of Henry and Sus- anna (Eby) Stauffer.

The father was born in White Oak, Lancaster county, and the mother in Warwick township. Both died in Rapho township. The father was a farmer, and served as one of the first school directors when the free school system was first established in Lan- caster county. In 1855 he retired from active la- bors, and died in 1888. He was born in 1802. His wife, who was born March 4, ISO5, died in ISS5. Their remains now rest in the private burying ground in Rapho township which is owned by Eli B. Mumma. They held to the old Mennonite Church, and were among the good people of their day. In politics he was a Republican, being counted among the reliable men of the community. Born to them were the following children: Catherine E., who married Jacob G. Nissley, and is now dead ; Benjamin and Veronica, who died young; Chris- tian, a carpenter at Kissel Hill, a twin with Susan, who married Joseph E. Brubaker, of Rapho town- ship, whose history appears on another page; Ja- cob E.

Joseph and Catherine (Acker) Stauffer, the grandparents of Jacob E., were born and reared in Lancaster county, where their lives were spent.

Jacob E. Stauffer was married May 5, 1867, in Warwick township, to Barbara Mohn, by whom he had the following children: Stella M., the wife of Aaron Hurst, of East Petersburg, Pa., where he engaged in business as a tobacco farmer : Bara M., married to Amos Sumpman, of Mt. Joy, Pa., where he is engaged in broom manufacturing ; Henry C., at Reading, Pa., where he married Laura Hefel- finger ; Wayne M., single, and at home.

Mrs. Barbara Stauffer was born in Warwick township, March 4. 1843, a daughter of Henry and Sarah (Herchelrode) Mohn. Her father was born in Lancaster, and her mother in Clay township. For years he operated a distillery at Pine Hill, ncar Lititz. He died in 1865, fifty-nine years of age ; the mother died Dec. 9. 1877, at the age of fifty-nine years. Both were buried in the Middle Creek Dunkard Meeting House burving ground. They were members of the Lutheran Church. To them were born the following children: John, in the hotel business at Denver, Pa .: Christian, a cigar maker at Lititz; Barbara, whose name is given above : Henry, a horse dealer at Manheim ; Susan, the wife of Christ. Stauffer, a carpenter at War- wick: Charles, operating a bakery at Akron, Pa .;

Edmond, a cigar maker at Akron, Pa .; Franklin, who died in infancy.

The paternal grandfather of Mrs. Stauffer was Lewis Mohn, of Lancaster county, a cigar maker in his younger days. Her maternal grandparents were Henry and Barbara ( Young ) Herchelrode, farmer folk of Lancaster county.

Jacob E. Stauffer remained with his parents un- til his marriage. When he was eighteen he began teaching school, and continued in the school room for nine years. After the expiration of his career as a teacher he worked on the farm a year and a half. He spent some time as a photographer in Mt. Joy, and then returned home and was married. In 1868 he began farming in Rapho township, in which he was engaged for ten years. In 1878 he moved to his present home place, a compact garden spot of eleven acres. In 1875 he was elected justice of the peace, a position he has continued to fill to the pres- ent time, with the exception of a year and a half when he resigned, but he was again elected. For twelve years he has been town clerk. and is now discharging the duties of his judicial office with marked ability. In politics he is a strong Republi- can, and is regarded as one of the leaders of the party in this section of Lancaster county.

JOHN HASTINGS (deceased) was born in Colerain township, Lancaster county, Dec. 4. 1804, a son of John and Mary (Mahoney) Hastings, of English and Irish ancestry, the Mahoneys belonging to the Scotch-Irish. Both families were represented in the war of the Revolution.

John Hastings, Sr., was the son of Peter and Rachel Hastings, who were born in England. John and Mary ( Mahoney) Hastings were married in 1796, and settled on a place in the woods in Cole- rain township. This his axe converted into a farm, and there both he and his wife died. Their family consisted of the following members: (1) Stephen, born in 1799, married a Miss Potts, and settled in Lancaster township, where he and his wife died in 1832, leaving two daughters: Frances, the widow of Clement Dunlap, of Lancaster ; Mary, late wife of Samuel Curtis, of Lancaster.

John Hastings was reared a farmer and educated in the public schools of Colerain township. As a young man he was associated in a tanning enter- prise with John Whiteside, under the firm name of Whiteside & Hastings. In 1836, however, Mr. Hastings parted company with Mr. Whiteside and bought for himself the Dan Lefever farm and family property, which he cultivated in connection with his tannery, becoming a very successful man. He bought several farms adjoining his own, and gave his entire attention to farming during the later years of his life.

Mr. Hastings was married in June, 1833. to Rebecca, the daughter of Francis and Margaret (Whiteside) Russel, both of Lancaster county. Mrs. Hastings was born in Russellville, Chester county, March 31, 1812, but was reared to woman- hood in Lancaster county. Francis Russel, the fa- ther of Mrs. Hastings, was born in Chester county, Pa., in 1783, and was the son of Alexander Russel, born in the same house in 1756, his father, Hugh Russel, being born in Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1726. The latter escaped from the battlefield of Culloden to make his way to America, and became a resident of Chester county, where he died. Francis Russel served in the war of 1812, and in his neighborhood was known as Col. Russel. George B., his son, is a retired physician of Detroit, where he settled many years ago.

After his marriage John Hastings settled in East

. Drumore township, where he built the present stone house in 1841, and the large barn at the home of his daughter, Emma, was built in 1840. Mr. Hastings died at his home in August, 1892.
