ROBERT RAY VAN HORN-A member of an old family of high standing and a prominent and successful lawyer of Plymouth, Robert Ray Van Horn is one of the outstanding citizens of Luzerne County and is held in esteem by his many friends and acquaintances in this part of Pennsylvania. Among his other professional duties, Mr. Van Horn is the attorney and. vice-president for the Luzerne County Gas and Electric Corporation, with offices at No. 247 Wyoming Avenue, Kingston.
He is a son of Ira B. and Elizabeth (Zimmerman) Van Horn, both of whom are now deceased. The first ancestor of the family in the United States was John Camallissen Van Horn, a native of Holland, who sailed from that country and landed in what was then New Amsterdam, now New York City, in 1632. He was the father of Camallissen Jansen Van Horn, who was married to Anna Maria Jansen October 14, 1659. By this mar- riage there was a son, Isaac, born December 30, 1661, who married Margaret Van Zandt. Isaac and Margaret (Van Zandt) Van Horn had a son, Peter, who was born in 1686. He married Elizabeth Triddels, and they had a son, Bernard Van Zandt Van Horn, born September 6, 1707. He married Prentice Belling and by this mar- riage there was a son, Samuel Isaac, born in Philadel- phia, Pennsylvania, July 13, 1737. His son, Samuel, was born in November, 1752, and died in Kentucky in 1852 at the unusually ripe old age of one hundred years. Samuel Van Horn married Catherine Evans, December 24, 1778, and they had a son, Isaac, who was born April 2, 1780. He married Elizabeth Dodson, October 2, 1801, and by this marriage there was a son, Samuel, who was born July 27, 1802. This son married Phebe Howe. November 15, 1830, and they had a son, Ira B. Van Horn, who married Elizabeth Zimmerman who died January 23, 19II.
Ira B. Van Horn was born, May 2, 1836, and died in October, 1917, after a long and useful life. He was a contractor and builder by trade, and was one of the highly respected citizens of Plymouth, Pennsylvania, where he lived throughout the greater part of his life. Mr. Van Horn was justly proud of the achievements of his family, especially of the part taken in the War of the Revolution by his great-great-grandfather. Samuel Van Horn, who was a soldier under General Washing- ton at the time when the great revolutionist performed his famed crossing of the Delaware, December 25, 1777. Samuel Van Horn assisted also in the capture of a large number of Hessian prisoners, and on February 1, 1830, was granted a pension as a result of his noble work in the war.
Robert Ray Van Horn was born in Shickshinny, Lu- zerne County, Pennsylvania, August 29, 1870; but when he was only two years old his parents removed to Ply- mouth, where they spent the rest of their lives. It was in Plymouth that Mr. Van Horn spent the formative days of his boyhood, those days that go into the making of character and that lay the foundations for the achieve- ments of later years. While a boy, he attended the public
schools, and then became a student of the Wyoming Seminary, of Kingston. He read law afterward in the offices of the late Judge Garman, in Wilkes-Barre, and was admitted to the Luzerne County Bar on January 13, 1896. Since that time he has actively continued his chosen profession, and the large number of his clients today are ample evidence of the trust and confidence which have been placed in him by the community. In addition to being vice-president and attorney for the Luzerne County Gas and Electric Corporation he is a director of the Harvey's Lake Light Company, the Com- monwealth Telephone Company, West Side Mortgage Company, Clark Lumber and Supply Company, Plymouth School Board, Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce and Luzerne County Gas and Electric Corporation, of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
Both for his accomplishments in his profession and for the heritage that he has from one of the oldest fam- ilies in the United States, Mr. Van Horn is respected by his fellowmen; he is representative of the highest and most honorable type of citizenship. Not only is he inter- ested in his own professional work, but in all matters of public importance, especially those affecting the well- being of the citizens of Luzerne County. His religious affiliation is with the Plymouth Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he is a member of the official board. Taking a prominent part in the club and fraternal life of his community, he is a member of Plymouth Kiwanis ; of the Free and Accepted Masons, in which order he is affiliated with the Plymouth Lodge, No. 332; the Val- ley Chapter, No. 214, of Royal Arch Masons ; the Dieu le Veut Commandery, No. 45, Knights Templar, of Wilkes- Barre; Irem Temple of the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; the Caldwell Consistory, of Blooms- burg, Pennsylvania; and the Ancient Accepted Scottish Kite Masons, in which he holds the thirty-second degree.

Anna E., the wife of Dr. J. O. MacLean, of Scranton, Pennsyl- vania. 2. Ruth E., who died at the age of sixteen years. 3. Robert E., who is living at home.
ALBERT JOHN LLEWELLYN-Although at the age of thirteen years, Albert John Llewellyn was a boy without means who had still to obtain an education for himself, he is today president and manager of the Luzerne County Gas and Electric Corporation, of Kingston, Penn- sylvania. Holding as a young man a number of positions in the Wyoming Valley, he showed remarkable ability, which eventually was recognized and brought him pro- motion; and since then, he has made rapid strides, and has made a solid place for himself in the business life of Luzerne County. Much of the growth of the corpora- tion of which he is now an executive has paralleled his own development; and everywhere, among those who know him and his work, he is highly regarded, both for his unusual attainments and for the spirit of fairness and justice which characterizes all his business transactions.
Mr. Llewellyn was born in Plymouth, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, on March 10, 1872, a son of David and Sarah (Phillips) Llewellyn. His father died at the age of forty-two years; but his mother, who was born in 1846, is still living. They came from England to America nearly seventy years ago, and settled in Plymouth. David Llewellyn was a carpenter and builder by trade, and the father of five children: Agnes M., a widow, now resid- ing at Forty Fort, Pennsylvania; William P., of King- ston; Albert John, of further mention ; R. T., who is now deccased ; and Bessie, who died in childhood.
Albert J. Llewellyn grew up in Plymouth, and went to the public schools there until he was thirteen years old. Then he went to work in the butcher shop of his uncle, C. B. Kuschke, in Plymouth. After three years, he started to work in the Plymouth Planing Mills ; and then, after another three-year period, became a clerk in the store of Charles Shupp, of Plymouth. Here. he remained for ten years, obtaining valuable experience in the busi- ness world. His next position was with the West Electric Light, Heat and Power Company, for which he served as a solicitor, lineman and bookkeeper. In 1903, this cor- poration sold out to the Wyoming Valley Gas and Elec- tric Company; and at that time, he became the superin- tendent of this company, with offices in Plymouth. In 1008, the company sold out to the American Gas Com- pany ; and then the organization took the name of the Luzerne County Gas and Electric Company. From this
344
time until March 10, 1915, Mr. Llewellyn was the super- intendent of the company ; and on that date, he became its manager, and in 1912 the main office was moved to Kingston. In 1924 the name was again changed, this time to the Luzerne County Gas and Electric Corporation, of which he served as vice-president and manager until April, 1928, when he was elected president of the cor- poration.
Not only is Mr. Llewellyn keenly interested in his own company and in the business life of the community, but participates to a considerable extent in the political, civic and social life of Luzerne County. He is vice-president of Wilkes-Barre and Wyoming Valley Airport; vice- president of Clark Lumber and Supply Company of Plymouth. He is identified with the Republican party, and is a staunch supporter of the strong business prin- ciples for which it stands. His religious affiliation is with the First Presbyterian Church, of Plymouth, and he also is a member and clerk of the Church Session. Active in a fraternal way, he is a member of the Free and Accepted Masons, in which order he is affiliated with the Plymouth Lodge, No. 332; the Valley Chapter, No. 214, of Royal Arch Masons; the Dieu le Veut Commandery, No. 45, Knights Templar ; the Caldwell Consistory, of Blooms- burg, Pennsylvania, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masons, in which he holds the thirty-second degree; and Irem Temple of the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.

He also holds memberships in the Irem Gun Club of Luzerne County ; the Craftsmen's Club; the Engineers' Society of Northeastern Pennsylvania; the Wyoming Valley Motor Club ; the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Com- merce ; the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce ; the Plym- outh Fire Company, No. 1; the Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Club, of which he is a charter member ; the Pennsylvania Gas Association ; the Pennsylvania Electric Association ; the National Electric Light Association ; and the Ameri- can Gas Association.

MICHAEL F. McDONALD, a well-known citizen of Hanover Township and Wilkes-Barre. and a prominent member of the Luzerne County Bar, with offices at Suite 1200 in the Miners' Bank Building, was born August 10, 1880, at Sugar Notch, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Mr. McDonald is a son of Anthony and Sarah (Carlin) McDonald, the latter deceased. Anthony McDonald, the father, is still living in Sugar Notch, and he is now in the seventy-sixth year of his age (1929). He is the father of four children: I. Patrick, of Sugar Notch. 2. John J., a captain in the United States Army, sta- tioned at Augusta, Georgia. 3. Michael F., of whom further. 4. Mary M., who married Michael J. Riley, of Sugar Notch.
Michael F. McDonald received his education in the public schools of the community in which he was born and reared, and he also worked during the better part of this time in the coal mines. When he was sixteen years of age he began teaching in the public schools of his home community, and so continued for some seven years, three years of which he was the principal of the Warrior Run schools, Luzerne County. During this time he was also studying law under the competent preceptorship of the late John T. Lanahan, and such was the success he made of this course that he was formally admitted to practice at the Luzerne County Bar on August I, 1904. Mr. McDonald has since followed the law as his profession, and he is spoken of as one of the bril- liant lawyers in Eastern Pennsylvania. He is not only a member of the Luzerne County Bar Association, but also of the American Bar Association, having traveled to Europe with this organization in the year 1924. He is one of the most successful trial lawyers in Luzerne County. He has been active in a number of outside commercial responsibilities, and among the more impor- tant of these are the offices he fills as a director of the First National Bank of Ashley, in Luzerne County,
director of the Smith-Bennett Corporation, and as treas- urer of the Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton Ice Company.
Despite the many varied and exacting duties his pro- fession entails, Mr. McDonald has nevertheless found time in which to take a keen and active interest in the general political affairs of his community. In his politi- cal views he is a staunch supporter of the Democratic party, and as such he has served as the chairman of the Luzerne County Democratic Committee; he was the campaign manager for the late Judge Woodward, who was elected Judge of the Eleventh Pennsylvania Judicial District at the November elections for the year 1924. He has served as borough solicitor for the town of Sugar Notch continuously since 1904. He has been almost equally active in his club and social life, for he is fraternally affiliated with the Wilkes-Barre Lodge, No. 109, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; the Knights of Columbus; and he is chairman of the execu- tive committee of the Holy Name Society. He is a member of the Wyoming Valley Country Club.
Michael F. McDonald married, August 21, 1912, Sallie M. McGowan, a daughter of Michael and Bridget (Gal- lagher) McGowan of Hanover Township, in Luzerne County. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald are the parents of three children: Michael, born July 29, 1913; John Leo, born July 26, 1915; and Joseph Michael, born August 11, 1917. Mr. McDonald and his family maintain their residence at No. 6 Brown Street, Corner Germania, Han- over Township, and are. members of St. Leo's Roman Catholic Church of Ashley, Luzerne County.
A. LEO LEWIS-Counted among the public-spirited and substantial men of Wilkes-Barre and Kingston is A. Leo Lewis, who was born in Milford Centre, Ohio, Feb- ruary 15, 1881, a son of Abram and Anna Lewis, deceased. Abram Lewis was born in Orange, Pennsyl- vania, in July, 1845, and died at the age of sixty-eight, in 1913. His widow died in 1925, at the age of seventy- nine. They were the parents of three sons: 1. George W., deceased, was for many years senior member of the Lewis and Bennett Hardware Company of Wilkes- Barre. He died December 23, 1913. 2. Walter E. is president and cashier of the Second National Bank, Wilkes-Barre. 3. A. Leo, of whom follows.
A. Leo Lewis received his academic training in the pub- lic schools in Ohio, and in 1897, at the age of eighteen years, he became a clerk in Lewis and Bennett Hardware Company, of Wilkes-Barre. This company was founded in 1826 by Ziba Bennett, who operated in hardware on a modest scale. But the business grew, and has grown continuously from year to year, steadily. It is not only the oldest hardware house in Northeastern Pennsylvania but is also one of the largest, and unquestionably one of the most substantial. For nine years, Mr. Lewis worked as clerk for the corporation, learning all branches of the extensive business, and in 1906, when twenty-five years of age, became a partner in it. During the thirty odd years that he has been connected with the com- pany his influence has made itself felt, and is remarked in the more speedy accelleration of orders since his admittance to membership. From its establishment at Nos. 4, 6 and 8 North Main Street the company deals in a full line of supplies for mills, mines, building, painting, contracting, machine work of all sorts, and automobiles ; and it handles guns, tools, glass, cutlery, ammunition, fishing tackle, sporting goods and house- hold furnishings. To regard this assemblage of the materials of business, a fair comprehension of the extent of its commerce may be had. Annual receipts run into hundreds of thousands of dollars, from both the whole- sale and retail trades.
Aside from his large responsibilities in the Lewis and Bennett Company, Mr. Lewis finds occasion regularly to participate in the political, fraternal and general affairs of Wilkes-Barre. He is a Republican and staunch in support of the party principles. A communicant of the Kingston Presbyterian Church, he is devout in its service, and generous in his contributions to charity, which are readily forthcoming, regardless of considera- tions of race or creed. He is a member of Lodge No. 395. Free and Accepted Masons; Caldwell Consistory, at Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masons of the thirty-second degree; and Irem Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is a member of Kingston Lodge, of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Shrine Country Club, and the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Com- merce.
On September 12, 1908, Mr. Lewis was united in mar- riage with Anna I. Shapelle, and they are the parents

CARLETON COFFIN JONES-A leader in the insurance world of Wilkes-Barre is Carleton C. Jones, veteran of two wars and member of an old Quaker family, which came from Great Britain to Maine, in the latter part of the seventeenth century. His brother, Law- rence Bullard Jones, is a lawyer and financier, director and first vice-president of the Union Savings Bank and Trust Company of Wilkes-Barre.
This branch of the Jones family, members of the Society of Friends (Quakers), are descended from Lem- uel Jones, the earliest paternal American ancestor, who settled at Brunswick and was termed "a highly approved and accepted minister" among the Friends. The descent from him is through the following : His son, Thomas Jones, also a minister at Brunswick, married Esther Hacker ; their son, the Rev. Lot Jones ( 1797-1865), of Philadelphia, who married (first) in Augusta, Georgia, in 1825, Priscilla McMillan, and ( second ) in 1831, Lucy Ann Bullard, daughter of Dr. Artemus Bullard of West Sutton, Massachusetts.
Rev. Henry Lawrence Jones, son of Rev. Lot Jones and Lucy Ann ( Bullard) Jones, and father of Carleton C. Jones, was born in New York City and was graduated from Columbia University in 1861. He entered the Theo- logical Seminary of Virginia and was ordained to the priesthood by the Right Rev. Horatio Potter, D. D., LL.D., in 1862. After serving his diaconate under his father in New York City, he accepted a call to Fitchburg, Massachusetts, where he organized Christ Church Parish in October, 1863, and served as rector of that church for eleven years, resigning in 1874 to become rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Wilkes-Barre, where he continued for many years, holding the highest ecclesi- astical offices in the diocese of Central Pennsylvania, until his death. Rev. Henry Lawrence Jones married, October 6, 1869, Sarah Eastman Coffin, daughter of Samuel Coffin, of New Hampshire, and they were the parents of six children : Harriet Louise, now a teacher ; Lawrence Bullard: Carleton C., of whom further ; Gertrude Fox, now the wife of J. Pryor Williamson of Wilkes-Barre; and Rev. Paul Jones of Orange, New Jersey. Another child died in childhood.
Carleton C. Jones was born in Wilkes-Barre, Septem- ber 20, 1876, and grew up in the rectory of St. Stephen's Church there. He attended the public schools of Wilkes- Barre and later went to the Highland Military Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he first learned those principles of military training which were to stand him in such excellent stead a few years later, at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. After his graduation from the Military Academy, he entered Yale University, from which he received his diploma in 1898. Within a few months of the Yale Commencement of 1898, the battle- ship "Maine" was blown up in Havana Harbor, and the seething embers of Spanish-American relations burst into a flame of war. . Mr. Jones was still in New Haven when the first wave of war hysteria struck the country. Moved by the knowledge of what his ancestors had done in the Revolutionary and subsequent American wars, he en- listed with the Connecticut Volunteer Artillery for serv- ice in Cuba. He was a corporal when the Spanish Ad- miral, Cervera, surrendered, a virtual end to hostilities, and he was mustered out of service, honorably dis- charged.
Back in Wilkes-Barre Mr. Jones, and many another veteran of the same war, sought peacetime employment and a measure of contentment. He found a clerical posi- tion with the Miners' Bank and so diligent and intelligent was his work that he was soon appointed trust officer. He continued with the Miners' Bank from the fall of 1898 until 1015. Other husiness activities and interests kept him occupied until the spring of 1917. It was in April of that year that President Wilson declared war against the Imperial German Government. with the full authority of Congress, and Mr. Jones again offered him- self to the service of his country. He joined the Balloon Section of the Air Service, served overseas with the rank of captain, and after the Armistice of November II, 1918, was sent to Germany with the Army of Occu- pation, stationed at Coblenz. He was returned to the United States and honorably discharged in August, 1919. At the beginning of the next year, Mr. Jones opened a general insurance office in Wilkes-Barre, at 624 Second National Bank Building. He has continued this business ever since, and has become a leader in the luisi- ness affairs of his city and county.
He has always been a Republican, much interested in the work of his party and is a communicant of Grace Episcopal Church, Kingston, and a member of Wilkes- Barre Lodge, No. 61, Free and Accepted Masons ; Sheki- nah Chapter, No. 182, Royal Arch Masons ; Dieu le Veut Commandery, No. 45, Knights Templar; Keystone Con- sistory, Scottish Rite Masons; Irem Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; the Irem Country Club. Black Diamond Post, No. 394, American Legion, of Kingston; the Wyoming Valley Country Club, the Westmoreland Club, the Kiwanis Club and the Wilkes-Barre-Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce ; also a member of the Officers' Club of the 28th Division, American Expeditionary Forces ; and of the Concordia Club, one of the leading musical organizations of the city.
Carleton C. Jones married, October 2, 1906, Mabel Haddock, daughter of John C. and Jennie S. ( Wolfe) Haddock, of Wilkes-Barre. They have two children : Katherine Carleton and Carleton Haddock. The family home is at No. 34 Park Place, Kingston, Pennsylvania.
HON. HARRIS BAKER HAMLIN-Attorney-at- law of Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and member of a family whose lineage reaches back over the centuries to years before the conquest of William, Duke of Normandy, Harris Baker Hamlin has devoted thirty-six years of his life to the service of his profes- sion and his State. He is regarded as a pillar of the bar in Luzerne County and occupies a position of. unusual prominence in the affairs of that part of the State.
The Hamlin family is one of the oldest in the entire Anglo-Saxon race, of which there is record. The family originated, apparently, in Normandy and the name is found in the Battle Abbey of England, indicating that the family may have come to Britain with William the Conqueror. The branch from which Mr. Hamlin is descended is the same as that of Hannibal Hamlin, elected vice-president of the United States with Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and served with the great President throughout the Civil War.
The first of the Hamlin family in the New World was Captain Giles Hamlin, born in England in 1622, two years after the Pilgrims had landed in Plymouth. He and many others of that day and age came to America, across the tumbling wastes of the Atlantic, at the whim of every wind that blew, in cockleshell barks that would seem today scarcely able to withstand the mildest storm. But the ships of those days, frail as they appear today, were hewn and welded into craft as sturdy and weatherproof as the age-old rocks that lined the coast of the perilous new land toward which they were bound. And so Captain Giles Hamlin, doubt- less in cloak and sword and high peaked hat, landed with the rest, to found his family upon a soil ruled by savages and a relentless wilderness. With him landed the wife he had brought from England-Hester Crowe, daughter of John Crowe. They lived for a time in the Massachusetts Colony, but moved away later to another group of hardy pioneers, who had settled in what is now known as Middletown, Connecticut. Their children included William Hamlin, born in the little settlement in Middletown in 1668. He grew up there and in 1692 married Susannah Collins, who bore him several chil- dren, including Nathaniel Hamlin, born October 26, 1699. Among the children of Nathaniel and Sarah ( Harris) Hamlin was Captain William Hamlin, born February II, 1726, afterwards appointed an ensign in the 10th Company, 6th Regiment of the Continental Army and promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1773. He became a captain of the 5th Company, 23d Regiment in 1776 and served throughout the Revolutionary War. He died in Charlestown, New Hampshire, in 1821 and among his children was Harris Hamlin, born in Middletown, Connecticut, in 1766. Harris Hamlin moved to Salem, Wayne County, Pennsylania, in 1801, an unknown wilder- ness then and scarcely habitable for many years after- wards; but the Hamlins stuck, and managed to live with reasonable comfort and to rear a large family.
