government printing office at Washington city; William Carroll, the subject of this sketch ; H. Wells, now residing with his mother in Spring City, though employed as nickel plater in the Grander Stove com- pany at Royer's Ford, Montgomery county ; Linwood S., yet a boy living with his mother; David, died in youth; Emma J., also deceased ; and Willis, who died at the age of one year. Mrs. Mary A. Taylor is now in the sixtieth year of her age.
William Carroll Taylor was reared at Spring City, and received a superior English education in the public schools here. On May 9, 1872, he entered a drug store in his native town, and began learning the drug business. He was apt and capable, and rapidly acquired a good knowledge of drugs and became accurate and skillful in compounding prescriptions. December 21, 1883, he embarked in the drug business on his own account, in the room ever since occupied by him on Main street. By care- ful attention to business, reinforced by the energy and enterprise necessary to success in any undertaking, he has built up a lucrative trade.
On March 8, 1885, Mr. Taylor was united in marriage to Lottie B. Miller, a daughter of Charles G. Miller, of Montgomery county, this State. Their union has been blessed by the birth of one child, a son named Charles, who was born May 21, 1886. Mr. Taylor is a republican in his political affiliations, and while taking no very active part in practical politics, is always well posted on the general situation and gives his party a uniform support on all national and State issues. He is a member of the German Reformed church of Spring City, in which he has served for some time as elder.

OF CHESTER COUNTY.
N ATHAN W. YARNALL, a well known farmer residing near White Horse, on the old farm which has been the Yarnall homestead during the life of four generations, is the eldest son of Eli and Mary ( Wood) Yarnall, and was born Sep- tember 25, 1830, on the farm where he now resides, in Willistown township, Chester county, Pennsylvania. The Yarnalls are an old and numerous family in Pennsyl- vania, and were settled in Chester county prior to 1684. Nathan Yarnall (paternal great-grandfather) was born on the farm now owned by the subject of this sketch, and spent his life here engaged in the occu- pation of a farmer. He was a whig in politics, married and reared a family of eight children, three sons and five daugh- ters : . Mordecai, Nathan, Lewis, Mary, Edith, Nancy, Hannah, and one that died in infancy. Nathan Yarnall ( grandfather) was also born on the same farm, September 11, 1777, and died in 1822. He passed his life on property which was then a part of the farm now owned by Nathan W. Yarnall. By occupation he was a farmer and cattle dealer, and for a number of years was en- gaged in buying Lancaster county cattle for the Chester county markets. He was twice married, first wedding Sarah Scott, by whom he had two sons and a daughter : Anna, Eli (father), and Thomas. After his first wife's death he married Hannah Robinson, and by this union had three children : William, Sarah, and Nathan H. Eli Yarnall (father) was born March 4, 1804, in the house now occupied by his son, Nathan W. Here he was reared and edu- cated, and after leaving school settled down to farming and passed his life in the culti- vation of the soil. His death occurred March 6, 1878, when he was in the seventy-
fifth year of his age. He was a whig and republican in politics, and in 1826 married Mary Wood. To them was born a family of four children, three sons and a daughter : Martha E., who died in infancy; Nathan W., whose name heads this sketch ; Alfred, and Eli.
Nathan W. Yarnall grew to manhood on his father's farm, and received a good prac- tical education in the public schools of his neighborhood. His tastes led him to follow the example of his ancestors and become a cultivator of the soil, and to that occupa- tion he has devoted the greater part of his somewhat active and busy life, on the old home farm which passed into his possession in 1879. In politics Mr. Yarnall is a stanch republican, taking an intelligent interest in all public questions, and earnestly supporting his party on all lead- ing issues, but not engaging prominently in political contests.
On January 23, 1866, he was united in marriage to Lydia Ann Sill, a daughter of Thomas and Sarah ( Baker) Sill, of Willis- town township. To Mr. and Mrs. Yarnall have been born two children, both daugh- ters : Sarah B. and Alice S.
D AVID ELDRIDGE, who has been a prosperous farmer and manufacturer of near Goshenville, but is now practically retired, is a worthy representative of one of the oldest and most respected families of Chester county. He is the second and only surviving son of Joseph and Abigail (Gar- rett) Eldridge, and a native of East Goshen township, this county, where he was born April 28, 1823. The family is descended from old English Quaker stock, and has been resident in this country since the time

BIOGRAPHY AND HISTORY
of William Penn. The first of the name settled in New Jersey, from whence some of their descendants removed to Philadel- phia and Chester county. Thomas Eldridge and his wife Mary came from Philadelphia and settled in Caln township prior to 1717, where he died in March, 1739, leaving three children : James, Joseph and Mary. James married and moved to Washington, Dela- ware. His daughter, Martha, married John Whelen, and was the mother of the founder of the Village Record. Mary married John Starr, of Charlestown. Jonathan Eldridge settled in Goshen township at an early day, and was accidentally killed at what is known as McCall's mill in Goshen. He was twice married, first to Mary Garrett, by whom he had two children, Hannah and Joseph, and then to Sarah Davis, by whom he had a daughter, Lydia.
Joseph Eldridge, son of Jonathan, and paternal grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was born in Gloucester county, New Jersey, in 1770, and married Lydia Griffith, a daughter of Nathan and Rachel Griffith, of Willistown, this county, and settled in the eastern part of East Goshen township, where he died in 1848, aged seventy-eight years. He was a weaver and farmer by occu- pation, and purchased a tract of one huu- dred and forty acres of land from his unele, James Garrett, who had taken it up from the original l'enn grant. He built a fulling mill on his farm, near the Willistown town- ship line, in 1813; was a Quaker in relig- ion, and by his marriage with Lydia Grif- fith had a family of ten children : Jonathan, born July 6, 1789, and died June 15, 1791; Nathan, born November 12, 1790, and died May 19, 1791; Joseph, father of David Eldridge; James, born November 19,1793, died September 27, 1794; Enos, born Sep-
tember 13, 1795, and died December 29, 1868; John, born November 29, 1796, now deceased ; Lydia, born October 18, 1798, married Isaac G. Hoopes; Reuben, born August 13, 1801, and recently deceased ; Mary, born June 25, 1803, died August 3, 1807 ; and Abner, born. June 26, 1806, mar- ried Amy ( Hoopes) Davidson, and removed to Iowa. Joseph Eldridge (father) was born on the old homestead in East Goshen town- ship, March 16, 1792, and died here in 1882, in the ninetieth year of his age. At the age of twenty-two, June 6, 1814, he mar- sied Abigail Garrett, (who died at ninety- four years of age,) and settled on the old home place, where he operated the fulling mill for a number of years, enlarging it and adding other buildings. He was the father of five sous and two daughters: Mary, Lydia, (married Caleb S. Cope), Pennell, (deceased in infancy), David, (principal sub- ject of this sketch), William Penn, Jona- than and Pennell (2). The sons are all de- ceased except David.
David Eldridge was reared on the old homestead here, and received his education in the country schools. After attaining his majority he engaged in farming, and when his father died took charge of his estate and operated the fulling mill, which he con- verted into a cider and grist mill. Politi- cally Mr. Eldridge is a republican, and takes a genuine interest in public affairs, though never actively engaging in politics. He has all his life adhered to the religious faith in which he was reared, and is a member of the Society of Friends.
In 1852, Mr. Eldridge was united in mar- riage to Susan Hall, a daughter of Maris Hall, of Willistown township, this county, and to them was born two children : Maris, deceased, and Jonathan, who married Anna

To this second union was born two children, both of whom died in infancy. Mr. Eldridge is a genial old gentleman, highly esteemed by all who know him, and takes considerable satisfaction in the long and respectable if not exceedingly brilliant record made by his family in this part of Pennsylvania.
THE URNER FAMILY eame original-
ly from the canton of Uri in Switzer- land, as the name implies; the inhabitants of this canton being called Urners, as the inhabitants of the canton of Schwyz are called Switzers. The Greek form of the name was Ouroi, which was Latinized by the Romans into Uri.
Ulrich Urner, the lineal ancestor of all the Urners in America, with his three sons, Hans, Jacob and Martin, came to America about the year 1708. The Colonial Records show them to have been here in 1712. The Urners came from the province of Alsace, having been driven out of Switzerland by the persecutions of 1672.
Hans Urner died in 1743, unmarried. He was the first person buried in the Cov- entry Brethren graveyard, on the old Urner homstead, one mile south of Pottstown and half a mile south of Mount Zion cemetery. His name appears on one of the three Urner monuments in the graveyard.
Jacob Urner settled on a farm one and a half miles northeast of Pottstown. He died young, in 1744. His wife, Ann, survived him, dying in 1758. They had three chil- dren : Elizabeth, who married Jacob Frick, and died in 1757; Martin, b. 9, 4, 1725, d. 28
5, 18, 1799, m. Barbara Switzer; and Hes- ter, b. 9, 20, 1740, d. 3, 24, 1813, m. Ulrich Switzer. Seemonuments in Coventry Breth- ren graveyard.
Martin Urner, the third son, was born in Alsace, a province of France, in 1695. He first settled at Roxborough, near Philadel- phia, then at Ephrata, Lancaster county, and in 1718 bought a tract of four hundred and fifty acres of the l'enns on the Schuyl- kill, in Chester county, l'a., immediately opposite the present town of Pottstown. This became his permanent home and the home of one line of the Urners for six gen- erations.
In 1719 the Brethren, sometimes called Dunkers, came to America and settled prin- cipally at Germantown. In the fall of 1722 they had a revival along the Schuylkill, near Philadelphia.
On the 25th of December, 1723, Martin Urner and his wife, Barbara, and four oth- ers, were baptized in the Wissahickon, the first baptized by the Brethren in America. On November 7th, 1724, the Coventry Brethren church, the second oldest Brethren church, was organized, with this Martin Urner as preacher. This church, located on a part of his farm, under his ministry became strong and vigorous, and has con- tinued so down to the present time. Though the Germantown church was organized eleven months earlier, owing to its location in a town, it never had much intluence, while the Coventry church, composed mainly of farmers, had great influence, as its members colonized extensively. So it became the real mother church to a denomination now num- bering one hundred thousand adult miem- bers. A full account of this Martin Urner is given in the volume called " Materials toward a History of the American Baptists."

Of the Seventh Generation-John Ro- dolph Urner, whose portrait accompanies this article, was born in Clinton, Mississippi, August 21, 1861, his father, Isaac Newton Urner, LL. D., being President of Mis- sissippi College at that time. He prepared for college at Williston Seminary, Massa- chusetts. His scholarship there was so good that Dr. Keep, Professor of Greek, reported him as facile princeps in his class. He graduated at Princeton College in 1884. He then entered Columbia College Law School, where he graduated in 1886. After being connected with a law firm for a few years in New York city, in the Spring of 1890, he and another young lawyer took a trip out West with a view of possibly lo- cating there.
They got as far as Spokane Falls, Wash- ington, where they both found themselves dangerously sick from accidental exposure on the journey. His friend's sickness de- veloped into typhoid fever. Mr. Urner, badly broken down in health, was urged by the physicians to leave that sickly locality immediately and try to save himself, leav- ing to their care his sick and dying friend. But he thought that duty required him to stay and take the chances. After the death of his friend he took the remains back to relatives in New York and then went to his own home in Pennsylvania, where he lin- gered three months, and then died on Oc-

Jo OSEPH MENKINS, one of the sub- stantial farmers and leading citizens of East Whiteland township, is a son of Henry and Sarah (McMiun) Menkins, and was born in East Whiteland township, Chester county, Pennsylvania. He was reared on the paternal acres, and after receiving a good common school education remained on the farm with his father until he was nat- urally drawn into farming, which has been essentially his life-work ever since. He owns a fine and well-improved farm of one hundred and four acres of land in his native township, and is very comfortably situated to enjoy the right and needful pleasures of life. He is a democrat in politics.
On January 21, 1880, Mr. Menkins was united in marriage with Mary Louisa Todd, a daughter of John Todd, who was also a native of East Whiteland township, where he was engaged for many years in agricul- tural pursuits. He spent the latter part of his life at West Chester, where he died March 28, 1891, aged eighty-one years. HIe married Martha Heston, and their chil- dren were: David, who died while attend- ing Yale college; I. Heston, a member of the lime-burning firm of Todd, Blair & Co .; Gilbert H., a merchant of St. Louis; Mar- garet, at home with her mother; Mrs. Mary Louisa Menkins; and Charlotte E., now dead.
The coming of the Menkins family to this
country is connected with and was a conse- quence of one of the best known and most important events in the history of the world-the burning of Moscow by the Russians. When Napoleon Bonaparte en- tered Moscow at the head of his magnificent army, the main part of the Russian popu- lation fled, and among them was a youth just merging into manhood, who was Henry Menkins, the father of the subject of this sketch. He was a nephew of the mayor of Moscow, who procured him a pass to leave Russia. He came to Philadelphia, where he found himself without a cent of money, but being energetic and industrious he soon found employment, and six months later had means sufficient to bring him to East White- land township, where he was engaged in the burning of lime until his marriage. He then commenced farming on "the shares," and in a few years by industry and strict economy had saved sufficient money to pur- chase a farm of eighty acres, one mile east of Frazer, on the Lancaster pike, where he died August 11, 1871, aged seventy-eight years. He was a successful farmer, and added two fine farms to the small farm which he first bought, He adhered to the principles of the Democratic party, as taught by Jefferson and enforced by Jack- son, and never would accept or hold any office except what his township could give. He married Sarah McMinn, who was a daughter of Thomas and Mary MeMinn, and who died February 25, 1840, at forty- eight years of age. Their union was blessed with four children, two sous and two daugh- ters: Mary, of West Chester ; Margaretta, a resident also at the county-seat; Joseph, whose name heads this sketch ; and Henry J., whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume.

OF CHESTER COUNTY.
ARTHUR T. PARKE, a promising young lawyer of the West Chester bar, and a worthy representative of one of the oldest families of this county, is the elder of the two sons of Samuel R. and Annie E. (Martin) Parke, and was born October 12, 1859, at Parkesburg, Chester county, Penn- sylvania. There he grew to manhood, was prepared for college in Parkesburg academy, and entering Princeton college took a full classical course in that venerable institution, from which he was graduated in the class of 1879. He entered upon the study of law in the fall of 1882, taking a course of one year in the Columbia Law school at New York city, and afterward studied with A. P. Reid, being admitted to the bar in 1884, and immediately opened a law office at West Chester, where he has remained in the continuous practice of his chosen profession ever since. Politieally he is a stanch re- publican, and in religion a member of the Presbyterian church.
The family of which the subject of this sketch is a member is of Scotch-Irish origin, and was founded in America by Arthur Parke (then spelled Park), who emigrated from the north of Ireland at a very early day, and settled near the present borough of Parkesburg, this county, prior to 1724. He was one of the founders of the Octoraro Presbyterian church, and served it as an elder for many years. A fuller account of his life and of the early generations of the Parke family will be found in the sketch of Samuel R. Parke, on another page of this work. One of the descendants in the third generation was Arthur Parke (paternal grandfather of Arthur 'T.), who was born in Highland township, not far from Parkes- burg, in 1785, and died there in 1858, aged seventy-three. He was a wealthy farmer,
served in the war of 1812, was a Presbyte- rian in religion, and married Mary R. Reyn- olds, of Wilmington, Delaware, by whom he had a family of six children. One of his sons, Samuel R. Parke (father), was born at Parkesburg in 1833, and was reared and educated there. For many years he has been president of the National bank of Parkesburg, and is also treasurer of the Parkesburg Iron Company. Politically he is a republican, and in religion a striet mem- ber of the Presbyterian church, in which he has served as trustee and deacon for a num- ber of years. He is widely known and universally esteemed as an upright business man, and an affable Christian gentleman. In 1858 he married Annie E. Martin, a daughter of Thomas Martin, of Chester county. She died in 1862, leaving two sons : Dr. William E. Parke, who was graduated from Princeton college in 1883, and from the medical department of the university of Pennsylvania in 1886, and is now engaged in the practice of his profession in the city of Philadelphia; and Arthur T., the subject of this sketch.
