father of Rev. Lewis E. Baumgardner, was a late in life was noted as a splendid vocalist. native of Montgomery county, Pa., and He used this talent in his religious work with rounded out his days in his native county. He served in the Revolutionary war, participat- ing in the battle of Monmouth, New Jersey.


Nathan Long, son of Nicholas Long, and father of Mrs. Michael Baumgardner, was born in Wyoming county, Pa., and was a pioneer of Springfield township, Fayette county, Pa., where he became the owner of wild land which he cleared before his death, which occurred upon that property.


Rev. Lewis Einsel Baumgardner, son of Michael Baumgardner, and grandson of Nathan Long, was reared in Fayette county, Pa., and after finishing his course in the public schools there entered upon a four years' course in theology under the instruction of a committee of his church. Following this he was actively engaged in ministerial work for twenty-eight years, serving from two to four years on his different appointments in the counties of western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio, retiring in 1898. From 1901 he was a resident of Rural Valley, where he passed away Jan. 27, 1914, just as the sun was sink- ing in the west. To occupy his time Mr. Baumgardner gave his attention to watch and clock repairing. He was a man of cheerful disposition, one who always looked on the bright side of things, and the home is lonely and quiet without his presence.


On March 30. 1875, Mr. Baumgardner was united in marriage with Rebecca Milliron, a daughter of Jacob and Margaret ( Braden- bauch) Milliron, of Wayne township, and granddaughter of John Milliron, of Armstrong county, whose wife was a Doverspike. The Millirons and Doverspikes are both pioneer stock of this region. To Mr. and Mrs. Baum- gardner were born three children: Mary L., who married Rev. Dr. F. E. Hetrick, a minister of the United Evangelical Church; Rudolph C .; and Vista, who married Rev. P. W. Baer, also a minister of the United Evangelical Church.


There are many interesting stories told of early days when the Baumgardners were pioneers in various parts of Pennsylvania. Mr. Baumgardner stated that when his grand- mother, Barbara Sommel, was eighteen years old, she attended a husking bee, and while the harmless festivities were at their height the house was attacked by Indians, who killed the host and scalped him. The women of the party managed to escape, fleeing thirty-three miles to Cumberland for safety.


Mr. Baumgardner had a fine voice and even


gratifying results, as the good old hymns sounded strikingly effective when sung by him. During his long service in the ministry he did much good, and he always continued to be greatly interested in church work.


JAMES HOWARD MCFARLAND, de- ceased, formerly prothonotary and clerk of Armstrong county, Pa., was born April 6, 1868, in this county, a son of John and Martha J. ( Stewart) McFarland.


John McFarland for many years engaged in contracting and building, but passed the closing years of his life on his farm. He was thrice married, the children born to his first union being: John; Malinda, who became the wife of John Morrow, and both are now de- ceased; Thomas, who served three years in the Civil war, being one of the youngest soldiers in the army, not yet twenty-one when his military term expired (he subsequently died at Alliance, Ohio) ; Matilda, who married Rev. William Porter: Maggie, the wife of William Hamilton; and Letitia, who married a Mr. Clauson. John McFarland's second marriage was to a Miss Lydick, and they had three children: Mason L., K. G., and Burdetta L., who married a Mr. O'Neil. Mr. McFarland's third marriage was to Martha J. (Stewart) McGranahan, and three children were born to them, namely: James Howard; George L., who is deceased ; and Lucinda V., who is the wife of Dr. Robert Ambrose. The death of John McFarland occurred Jan. 8, 1892.


James Howard McFarland was a bright and ambitious boy. From the public schools he entered the Indiana State Normal School and later was a student in the university at Leb- anon, Ohio, subsequently becoming a teacher, at the age of sixteen, and giving sixteen years of his life to educational work. He became one of the best known educators in the county. Immediately after leaving school, however, he went to Elk county, and was engaged there for eighteen months in the lumber business, and for some time afterward was interested in railroad construction. In 1895 he became deputy sheriff of Armstrong county and con- tinued in office for three years, when he was appointed a mail carrier at Kittanning, and served in that capacity for six years. In politics a zealous Republican, he was justly considered when election to public offices of responsibility was a necessity, and in 1908 he was elected prothonotary and county clerk of

Harry E. Himes obtained an excellent public school education, attending at New Bethlehem until he was fifteen years old, when he en- tered the office of the New Bethlehem l'indi- cator to learn the printer's trade. He was earnest in his desire and continued in that office, advancing step by step, until in 1889 he was master of a useful and profitable trade. In 1890 he became foreman in the office of the Daily Courier, at Du Bois, Pa., where he re- mained six months, and then worked for one year in the office of the Clarion Democrat, the following three years being identified with the Jeffersonian Democrat at Uniontown, Pa. In 1896 Mr. Himes came to Kittanning as a compositor on the Kittanning Weekly Tribune, and in 1899 became its managing editor, in which position he has brought credit on the journal and won public confidence for him- self. The readers of newspapers demand much in these modern days and a large amount of diplomacy, not to mention ability in almost every direction, is a requisite possession of the successful newspaper man. In 1896 the Tri- bune was incorporated and under Mr. Himes's able management is in a very prosperous con- dition. It is one of the leading weekly jour- nals of the State.


Mr. Himes was married Jan. 26, 1898, to Huldah King, daughter of J. M. King, of Kit- tanning. She died Sept. 10, 1903, the mother of three children: Helen W., Harry E., and one that died in infancy.

of Dr. Thomas M. and Margaret (Atchison) Allison.


Lucient Dent Allison attended public school at Kittanning and the preparatory school at Saltsburg, Pa., and was a member of the class of 1899, Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, Pa., before he commenced to read medicine, in the office of his father. As soon as he was ready he entered Jefferson Medical College, at Philadelphia, from which he was graduated in May, 1903. Passing the State medical examination, he began the practice of his profession in Kittanning in the fall of that year, and has continued there ever since.

His practice is large and constantly growing, and he is well known not only in Kittanning, but throughout the county.


HON. JOSEPH GRANT BEALE, of Leechburg, Armstrong Co., Pa., who repre- . sented his district in the Sixtieth Congress, has been one of the foremost business men of that part of Pennsylvania practically throughout the period of his residence there-over forty years. He has been associated with the most progressive undertakings of the region, has been a leader in public as well as in business life, and has developed various enterprises of the utmost importance in the advancement of his section. He is at present serving as president of the Leechburg Banking Company, now giving all his time and attention to his coal and banking interests.


The Beale family is of Norman-English origin and one of the oldest in the State. Its first ancestor in America, a Quaker, came to this country with William Penn, so the Beales claim to be thoroughly Pennsylvanian. As he was a civil engineer by profession, he was em- ployed by the proprietary to lay out the city of Philadelphia. The family afterward settled in the Tuscarora valley, east of the mountains,

To him the people of that section are in- debted for at least one practical, noteworthy advance. Seeing the necessity for a better class of heavy draft horses in the manufac- turing districts, he went to England in 1859 and purchased and imported into this coun- try the first English draft horses ever brought into western Pennsylvania. From these horses descended the fine stock for which the locality has since become noted. His son,

During the time he was en- gaged in mining there he removed coal from underneath what are now some of the most aristocratic portions of the city of Pittsburgh. In the spring of 1868 Mr. Beale sold out and came to Leechburg, in Armstrong county, where he has ever since resided. Having bought the Leech property, he resolved to make the most of his purchase, and at once began a systematic course of development which has proved the wisdom of his ideas, not only advancing his own prosperity but encouraging others in their enterprises. Thus there is hardly a citizen that has done more for the material upbuilding of Leechburg. In 1872, by giving land and extending otlfer aid,
