William and Mary Ann (Mugford) Pauling, parents of Mr. Pauling, natives of Cornwall, England, never came to this country, but remained in the land of their birth, where the first-named died in 1906, at the age of sixty-two years, survived by his wife, who is still (1929) living in Cornwall, England, aged eighty-six years. They were the par- ents of six children: Laura, who died in London in 1893; William John, of further men- tion; Pollie, of Cornwall, England; Thomas, of Parsons, Luzerne County; Frederick, of England; and Sydney, also a resident of Eng- land.
William J. Pauling was born in Cornwall, England, May 12, 1870, and received his edu- cation in the schools of his native land. In 1889, at the age of nineteen years, he came to this country and located in Wilkes-Barre, where he worked at whatever remunerative employment he could find. Though he began his career in a strange land without money and without special preparation for any one special calling, he had no intention of re- maining in the class of the employee. Ac- cordingly, when he had decided upon the field of activity in which he desired to per- manently engage, he became a student in the Buffalo College of Pharmacy, from which he was graduated in 1896 with the degree of Graduate Pharmacist. After graduating from the University of Buffalo, he went to England for about six months. Returning, he later engaged in the drug business in partnership with Henry W. Merritt, at Plains, Pennsylvania. Two years later he sold out his interest to Mr. Merritt, and came to Wilkes-Barre as manager of the drug store
owned by Dr. C. W. Spayd. In 1902 he opened his own retail pharmacy at No. 72 Public Square, where he continued successfully until 1922, when he removed to his present loca- tion, No. 74 Public Square. Twenty-five years of continuous service in this city, as phar- maceutical chemist and manufacturing drug- gist, as well as retailer, have placed Mr. Pauling among the well-known and sub- stantial business men of Wilkes-Barre, and have also made him well known to the trade. He is a member of the Pennsylvania Retail Druggists Association, the National Asso- ciation of Druggists, also of the Luzerne County Association, and has a host of friends among those of his own calling, as well as in other circles. He is a Republican in his political affiliations, and fraternally, is iden- tified with lodge No. 109, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; and with Lodge No. 61, Free and Accepted Masons, and is a member of the Wilkes-Barre-Wyoming Chamber of Commerce. His religious affilia- tion is with the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Wilkes-Barre.
William J. Pauling marricd (first) Lulu May Eysinger, of Warren, Pennsylvania. She died in 1909. leaving one daughter, Dorothy May, who is the wife of Knute Johnson, of Dakota. Mr. Pauling married (second) Fan- nie Heiligman, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, daughter of Henry and Farnie (Freefield) Heiligman, her mother still living. Mr. and Mrs. Pauling are the parents of two children: Josephine and Betty. Mr. Pauling is noted for his famous Root Beer and his special headache powders, which have gained a national reputation. The family home is at No. 192 James Street, in Kingston.
JOHN F. MAYOCK, D. D. S .- A dentist well known and of high reputation in Wilkes- Barre is John F. Mayock, who took the degree of Doctor of Dental Science from the University of Maryland in 1899 and who, dur- ing the three years prior to matriculation in the university, also attended Holy Cross Col- lege at Worcester, Massachusetts. He began the practice of dentistry in Wilkes-Barre in 1899, and in point of continuous practice is one of the oldest dentists in the city. He maintains both office and residence at the same address, No. 47 South Washington Street.
John F. Mayock was born at Miners Mills, now a part of the city of Wilkes-Barre, June II, 1876, a son of Michael and Bridget (Ruddy) Mayock, deceased. The old store at Miners Mills in which Michael Mayock conducted a general merchandising business for fifty years is now (1929) managed by his son Michael. Michael and Bridget Mayock were the parents of nine children: I. Mary E., married, of Miners Mills. 2. Dr. John F., of whom further. 3. Patrick, who died in child- hood. 4. James C., retired, of Miners Mills. 5. Michael, who conducts the store at Miners Mills. 6. Dr. Peter P., see following biog- raphy. 7. Dr. Thomas J., dentist, also en- gaged in the real estate business. 8. Anna, member of the Sister of Mercy, known as Sister Charles, instructor in music at St. Mary's Convent, Wilkes-Barre. 9. Frank D., Miners Mills, associated with Michael in the store.
John F. Mayock grew to manhood at Miners Mills, and there attended the public schools. After attending Holy Cross College and grad- uating as a dentist from the University of Maryland he took up the practice of his pro- fession in Wilkes-Barre, where he has earned a worthy niche in the professional
459
circle, notably among confreres in dentistry. While his interests are closely attached to the welfare of Wilkes-Barre and he is asso- clated with all major movements for civic progress, his particular hobby is in stock farming. He is a member of the Pennsyl- vania State Grange, and owns a fine stock farm known as the Pocono Farm in Bear Creek Township, Luzerne County. On this farm he keeps an excellent herd of Holstein cattle, many of which have taken prizes at stock shows and exhibitions. Dr. Mayock also has on the farm a large flock of chickens of most select breeding. It is not at all unusual for him to spend week-ends at the farm, often in overalls, tending his stock and taking delight in close association with the soil. Dr. Mayock is a Democrat, a member of St. Nicholas Catholic Church at Wilkes- Barre, Psi Omega, dental society, the Luzerne County Medical Society, and the National Dental Society. He is president of the Wyo- ming Valley Field Trial Association.
John F. Mayock married, November 19, 1908, Matilda Maier, daughter of Nicholas V. and Theresa (Horenberg) Maier, of Wilkes-Barre, both deceased. Dr. Mayock and his wife are the parents of four children: John Francis, Constance M., Ruth M., and Robert E. Lee Mayock.
PETER PAUL MAYOCK, M. D .- One of the preeminent urologists in Luzerne County is Peter P. Mayock, M. D., with offices at No. 43 South Washington Street, Wilkes- Farre. Dr. Mayock was born at Miners Mills, Luzerne County (then a post-borough of some 2,000 inhabitants and now incorporated into Wilkes-Barre) on August 27, 1883, a son of Michael and Bridget (Ruddy) Mayock, de- ceased. A further review of Michael Mayock, is contained in preceding sketch of Dr. John F. Mayock.
Dr. Peter P. Mayock, son of Michael and Bridget (Ruddy) Mayock, attended the public schools of Miners Mills and the Holy Cross College, where he graduated in the class of 1904 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, soon thereafter enrolling in the medical depart- ment of the University of Georgetown at Washington, District of Columbia, where he graduated in 1908 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Then for a year he was interne at the Emergency Hospital at Buffalo, New York, in the fall of 1909 locating at Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, where he car- ried on a general practice for the next two years, and in 1911 came to Wilkes-Barre, where he became associated with the late Dr. B. J. Witherby, and took up urology as a specialty. The association between Drs. Witherby and Mayock continued until the death of Dr. Witherby May 29, 1915, after which the practice was carried on by Dr. Mayock alone. Highly regarded in his pro- fession, Dr. Mayock is a member of the Luzerne County Medical Society, the Lehigh Valley Medical Society, and the American Medical Association; is past president of the County Medical Society, is the urologist in attendance at Mercy Hospital, at Wilkes- Barre, consulting urologist at the Nanticoke State Hospital and the State Hospital at Pittston, Luzerne County, and chief of the genito-urinary division, Clinic No. 1, of the State Department of Health, at Wilkes- Barre.

JAMES A. HOYLE-A native and life-long resident of Luzerne County, Mr. Boyle, after a careful educational preparation, established himself some twenty years ago as an archi- tect in Wilkes-Barre, where he has continued in the practice of his profession with much success since then. He has handled many large contracts for public buildings and is especially well known as the designer of sewer systems and of public school build- ings. In his professional work he has ac- quired a very high reputation for originality and for integrity, and the many commissions which have been entrusted to his care have invariably been carried out to the entire satisfaction of his clients.
James A. Boyle was born at Drifton, Lu- zerne County, February 26, 1875, a son of the late Patrick M. and Bridget (Moore) Boyle. His father, who was born in Ireland, February 18, 1848, and who died in King- ston, Pennsylvania, June 14, 1911, came to this country early in his life and was for many years active in the coal mining industry as a mine superintendent and as State Inspector of Mines for twelve years before his death. His mother was born at Tamaqua, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, in June, 1855, and died in Kingston, Pennsylvania, In June, 1918.
James A. Boyle was educated in the public schools of Drifton, at a private preparatory school, the Wyoming Seminary one and half years, and at the Mining and Mechanical Institute in Freeland, Luzerne County, from which he graduated in 1905. In 1890 he served an apprenticeship as pattern maker in the Drifton (Pennsylvania) shops then continuing his studies. After his graduation in 1905 he went to Philadelphia and took special courses in Engineering and Archi- tecture at Drexel Institute, graduating there in 1908. Soon afterwards he established him- self in Wilkes-Barre as an architect, in which profession he has continued to be active since then, with offices in recent years in the Bennett Building. Amongst the many large commissions, which he has successfully carried out during his career, should be mentioned especially the designing of the sewer systems for Wilkes-Barre and Hanover townships and for Ashley and Nanticoke bor- oughs, as well as of high school buildings at Larksville, Edwardsville, Sugar Notch and Warrior Run, Pennsylvania, and many others. He is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a life member of the Knights of Columbus, and a registered archi- tect and engineer. In politics he is a sup- porter of the Democratic party, while his religious affiliations are with the Roman Catholic Church and more particularly with St. Ignatius Roman Catholic Church of King- ston. Mr. Boyle is a member of the Fox Hill Country Club, and finds much enjoyment in a game of golf.
Mr. Boyle married, in October, 1911, Cath- erine Lannon of Hazleton, Luzerne County, a daughter of Patrick J. and Ellen (Fallon) Lannon. Mr. and Mrs. Boyle have no children and make their home at No. 71 Second Ave- nue, Kingston.
THOMAS F. HEFFERNAN-With the ad- vent of Thomas F. Heffernan into the field of journalismi, the Fourth Estate in Wilkes- Barre was given a fresh impulse, which told out in new blood and life when he took over
460
the Wilkes-Barre "Sunday Independent," and with the assistance of his staff, which in- cludes his brothers and a son, he pushed its circulation in 1929 to the twenty-two thou- sand figure. The Heffernans cut a wide swath in the newspaper field in the Wyo- ming Valley, where theirs is the only Sun- day journal to be published.
Born in Plymouth, Luzerne County, Penn- sylvania, March 10, 1871, Thomas F. Heffer- nan is a son of Andrew and Mary (Cannole) Heffernan. His father, a native of Ireland, came to America about 1861, and married at Plymouth, in 1868, his wife being a native of Elmira, New York. Of this union there are ten children, all living. Catherine, mar- ried A. F. Pringle; Thomas F., of this review; Nora, Anna, married F. J. Murphy; Mary, Dr. Andrew J., of Wilkes-Barre; Josephine, mar- ried G. J. Wagner, of California; John V., a member of the editorial staff of the "Sun- day Independent"; Leo G., a major in the Aviation Department, United States Army, stationed at Rantoul, Illinois; and George P., advertising manager of the "Sunday Inde- pendent." The father of this family died in 1919 at the age of seventy-six years. The mother died in 1928 at the age of seventy- seven.
Reared in Luzerne County, Thomas F. Hef- fernan received his education in the local public schools and at Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pennsylvania. He taught for three years in the public schools of Plymouth, Luzerne County, and from pedagogy grad- uated into journalism, joining the staff of the "Wilkes-Barre Record" holding an edito- rial position on this newspaper for thirteen years.
A considerable period of public service through political appointments next inter- vened. He was made assistant county treas- urer of Luzerne County in 1901 under the then treasurer Dr. Lewis Edwards, and served in that capacity for one year. In 1907 he was appointed postmaster of Wilkes-Barre by President Roosevelt, and was reappointed by President Taft in 1911, serving in that office eight years and eleven months.
The lure of the printer's ink and newspaper work again drew Mr. Heffernan into the "game" and in 1909 he and John A. Hourigan took over the old Wilkes-Barre "Morning News" and changed it into an evening edi- tion under the title of the "Evening News." In 1911, Mr. Heffernan disposed of his inter- est to his partner, Mr. Hourigan, and then bought the "Sunday Independent," of John J. Maloney, the transfer taking place in 1913.
In 1915 Mr. Heffernan organized the Sun- day Independent Corporation, into which were received as members, besides himself, John V., who became an associate editor with his brother, Thomas F., and George P. Hef- fernan, who cooperated with his brothers as head of the advertising department. Sub- sequently Mr. Heffernan's son, Thomas E., was made a member of the company, which for some years has been known as the Wilkes-Barre Independent Company. The Heffernans took up the management of their property with intelligence and enthusiasm, seeking faithfully to fill a demand through- out the Wyoming Valley for a strictly Sun- day newspaper. How well they have suc- ceeded a steadily mounting circulation list bears testimony.
As must have been implied from the nature of his political appointments, Mr. Heffernan is allied with the Republican party. He is a member of the Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Pennsyl-
vania Editorial Association, the National Edi- torial Association, the Pennsylvania Sports- man's Club, the Wilkes-Barre Neighborhood Club, and the Wyoming Valley Country Club, Fox Hill Country Club, Franklin and Kiwanis clubs. He is also a member of the board of trustees of Mercy Hospital, a director of Wilkes-Barre Deposit and Savings Bank, and a communicant of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church.
Mr. Heffernan married at Plymouth, Lu- zerne County, June 20, 1900, Louise Easen, a daughter of Thomas and Mary (Barnes) Easen, natives of England. Mr. and Mrs. Heffernan are the parents of a son, Thomas E., horn August 24, 1902, educated in the pub- lic schools of the county and a graduate of Wyoming Seminary of Kingston. He is asso- ciated with his father in the publishing of the "Sunday Independent."
EDWARD C. DREHER, M. D .- Following the splendid example of his illustrious father, Dr. Charles B. Dreher of Tamaqua, Pennsyl- vania, Dr. Edward C. Dreher, of Wilkes- Barre, has made for himself a place of esteem among the physicians of his native State. Dr. Charles B. Dreher has for sixty-two years been practieing medicine, and at the age of eighty-three years continues his activity and is one of the oldest practicing physicians in the State of Pennsylvania. He and his wife, Sarah (Brode) Dreher, make their home at Tamaqua. They have five children: 1. Au- gusta, the wife of Judge Shay of Pottsville, Pennsylvania. 2. Edward C., of whom further. 3. Herbert C., who is a contractor at Flint, Michigan. 4. Guy L., real estate manager for the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company at Lansford, Pennsylvania. 5. An- nahel Virginia, the wife of Dr. E. E. Shef- ferstine, who is the surgeon for the State Hospital at Coaldale, Pennsylvania.
Edward C. Dreher was born at Tamaqua, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, November 21, 1871. He grew up in Tamaqua where he attended public school and later went to Millersville to the State Normal School. He then attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Michigan. After finishing his work at the University of Michigan, he entered the Hahnemann Medical College at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was graduated in 1893 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Soon after he located in Wilkes- Barre where he has practiced medicine for the past thirty-four years. He is a mem- her of the Homeopathic Medical Society of Luzerne and is also a member of the State and National Homeopathic Medical societies. He is a member of the staff of the Wyoming Valley Homeopathic Hospital of Wilkes- Barre and is chief surgeon for this hospital. In politics, Dr. Dreher is a Republican and in religion he is a Protestant.
On June 8, 1891, Dr. Edward C. Dreher mar- ried Blanche Overton, daughter of Andrew and Catherine (Boston) Overton, of Wilkes- Barre, Pennsylvania. Mr. and Mrs. Overton's ancestors came from the State of Connecticut in the early days of the Indians and settled in Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania. Dr. and Mrs. Edward C. Dreher have one child: Cath- erine Overton Dreher.
DANIEL A. FELL, JR .- The Fells, ably rep- resented in the present generation by Daniel A. Fell, Jr., prominent member of the Luzerne County Bar with offices in the Coal Exchange Building at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, are thought to have descended of Furness Fells, the commonly-accepted term for High Fur-
Daniel G. Fell
461
ness, England. Among these members we find the Fells of Long Lands, the Fells of Swarth- moor Hall and the Fells of Dalton Gate, each branch having a separate coat-of-arms. More remotely there were
the Fells of Hawkeswell, and the Fells of Redman Hall; but Joseph Fell, son of John Fell and Mar- garet Fell of Long Lands Parish of Uldale, County of Cumberland, England, was the son of John Fell of Dane Ghyll Flam Hall near Furness Abbey and probably the same fam- ily is the elder Fells of Swarthmoor Hall, and is not to be understood as having been the progenitor of them all. The descent to the sixth generation of which Daniel A. Fell, Jr., is a representative is through the follow- ing:
Joseph Fell, the original paternal ancestor, was born in England, October 19, 1668, and was a yeoman. He received his education in the common schools and became a carpenter and joiner; emigrating to America, he settled in 1705 at Buckingham, Bucks County, Penn- sylvania. He was married twice, his first wife, Bridget Wilson, his second wife, Eliz- abeth Doyle of Irish descent, and whose entire family and herself were Quakers, who came from Bucks County, but whose mother hailed from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, town named in honor of her father.
Thomas Fell, born June 9, 1725, from whom all the Fells in Northeastern Pennsyl- vania are descended, for three of his sons, Jesse, Samuel and Amos, settled in that portion of the State, was a Quaker, and married Jane Kirk, daughter of Geoffrey Kirk. His son, Jesse Fell, became prominent in Wilkes- Barre as a military leader, an associate judge of Luzerne County shortly before 1800. He made a successful experiment of burning anthracite coal in a grate of his own invention in the old Fell house on the northeast corner of Northampton and Wash- ington streets, February 11, 1808.
Amos Fell, youngest son of Thomas and Jane (Kirk) Fell, born in Buckingham, No- vember 1, 1762, died at Pittston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in September, 1825. He located on a tract of land back of Pitts- ton in the autumn of 1785, became a sur- veyor and school teacher and joined the Quaker faith. He burned coal for domestic purposes and this was taken from the out- crop on the Brown farm. He married No- vember 10, 1784, Elizabeth Jackson, daugh- ter of William Jackson, of Shrewsbury, New Jersey.
Jacob Fell, son of the above, was born March 15, 1791, and died September 1, 1831. He married (first), October 8, 1814, Mary Ackley, daughter of Daniel and Sarah Ackley of West Findley, Washington County, Penn- sylvania, and their children were: Elizabeth, who married Stewart Rainow; Daniel Ack- ley, of whom further; Sarah, Mercy and Mary Fell. Mercy Fell married John Behee of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Jacob Fell married (second), May 2, 1826, Elizabeth Johnson, and they had: Mary A., wife of Henry Wilbur of Wilkes-Barre; William and Jacob Fell.
Daniel Ackley Fell, second child and eldest son of Jacob and Mary (Ackley) Fell, was born May 29, 1817 at Pittston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, became a leading building contractor and erected the old court house on the public square and bought the old court house bell at Troy, New York, on his wedding trip. He also built the old Wyoming Valley Hotel and many of the important structures of his day and section. He was master builder of the Lehigh & Susquehanna and Central Railroad of New
Jersey and continued this line of work until his seventy-eighth year. He was a fine busi- ness man of remarkable energy, greatly interested in local development projects. He died in the fall of 1897, heloved and respected by all who knew him. He married January 16, 1855, Elizabeth Gray, born at Wilkes- Barre, Pennsylvania, January 4, 1836, and died October 8, 1887; she was a daughter of Alexander and Jane (Russell) Gray of Hunt- ley, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The old Balti- more opening near the East End was operated and opened by Mr. Gray, manager of the old Baltimore Coal Company. He
later engaged in mining operations. He moved to Aqueduct Mills near Princeton, New Jersey, in 1866, where he died in 1873, his widow surviving him by a decade. Daniel Ackley Fell and his wife, Elizabeth Gray had the following children: 1. Mary, born April 30, 1856, died October 26, 1885. 2.
