E F. HAND. a prominent merchant of Du- Bois, Clearfield county, is by no means an old man, and one cannot gain a clearer view of the rapid march of civilization in this section than by listening to his description of the changes that have taken place within his own recollection. He helped to clear a portion of the land upon which Du Bois now stands, and it was at one time cultivated as a farm by his maternal grandfather, Jacob Heberling, the well-known pioneer, who purchased the tract from the original warrantor. a Mr. Shaffer. Jacob Heberling died in Brady township in 1874, but before his death he sold

this particular tract to his son David, from whom it passed to John Rumbarger. Mr. Hand's reminiscences of his early life on a clearing in the woods convey a vivid impression of the difficulties undergone, even in recent years, in opening up the country for settlement.

Mr. Hand was born in Schuylkill county, Penn., in 1848, and his parents, John and Anna Maria (Heberling) Hand, were both natives of that county. They removed to Clearfield county, in 1854. locating upon unimproved land in what was then Brady (now Sandy) township, about a mile from the present site of Du Bois. John Hand was engaged in farming and luinbering for many years, and was regarded as one of the sub- stantial citizens of the locality. His wife died February 21, 1882, aged sixty-two years, and in January, 1888, he followed her to the unseen world. Our subject was the youngest of a fam- ily of three children, the others being Simon, a well-known farmer and lumberman in Sandy town- ship, Clearfield county; and Lucy, who married Mr. Weaver, of Bloom township, in the same county, and died there in 1890.

As Mr. Hand was only six years old when he left Schuylkill county he was reared at the new home, his education being secured in an old- fashioned log school house, furnished with slab seats, and vastly different in all respects from the tasteful and comfortable school buildings of to- day. In early manhood he became interested in agriculture and lumbering, which he followed some years with marked success. In September, 1893, he gave up these occupations to engage in a general mercantile business in Du Bois, where he bnilt a handsome frame store building on Main street. He carries a large and well-selected stock, complete in all the leading lines, and en- joys a due reward in a profitable trade among the best classses of people.

Mr. Hand's public spirit has been manifested in many ways, and he can always be depended upon to lend a hand to any worthy project. He is a director in the Du Bois Deposit Bank, and his advice is valued by his associates in this and other enterprises. In politics he is an Independ- ent, declining to make his personal convictions subject to any "party whip." While never an office-seeker, he has served as overseer of the poor of Sandy township. In March, 1873, he was married in Sandy township, Clearfield county. to Miss Lavina E. Wayne, a native of Brady township, in the same county where her father. Thomas Wayne, an Englishman, set- tled at an early day and cleared a farm. He died there in 1892, and his wife, Margaret Ellen Mix, a native of Clarion county, Penn., passed

; away in 1893, Mr. and Mrs. Hand's family con- : sists of two children: John A. was married in 1 Big Run, Jefferson Co., Penn., to Miss Lydia Davis, and now resides in Du Bois; Miss Luella Hand resides with her parents.

A ARON PACKER SHOFF. The Shoff fam- ily of Clearfield county, of which our sub- ject, a well-known agriculturist and lumberman residing near Madera, is a leading representative, has been identified with this section for many years. Of German descent, they show, in their industry and thrift, their sound and conservative judgment and their regard for all that concerns the welfare of the community to which they belong, the most desirable characteristics of that race. Before proceeding to the history of our subject, we will outline that of the family since . their settlement in America.

Christopher Shoff, Sr .. the grandfather of our subject, was born in Germany in 1769, and came to America in early manhood, settling in Lan- caster county, Penn., where he married Miss Elizabeth Sides, in 1796. They continued to reside there for some years, and then he pur- chased a farm in Centre county, near Milesburg. the first land he ever owned. In 1828 he sold this and moved to Clearfield county, locating on what is now known as the Thomas Lord farm. Later he bought the John Gill farm, now known as the old Shoff estate, where he remained until a few years previous to his death, in 1855. His wife died in 1832. They had eleven children: ( I) Christopher Shoff, Jr., the father of our sub- ject, is mentioned more fully below.

Christopher Shoff, Jr., our subject's father, was born in Lancaster county, in 1797, his youth, however, being mainly spent in Centre county. He followed the cabinet maker's trade there for a time, but after his marriage, in 1820, to Miss Lydia Packer, he settled in Clearfield county, purchasing 112 acres of woodland. This he cleared and cultivated, his first home being a log cabin, and in 1855 he built a comfortable two-story frame house, and made such other substantial improvements as his well-won pros- perity permitted. He died March 19, 1856, his wife on August 14, 1877. She was a daughter of Aaron and Lydia Packer, highly respected residents of Centre county.

To Christopher Shoff, Jr., and his wife Lydia. ten children were born, of whom the subject of this sketch is the youngest son: (1) George W., born in 1822, married Miss Elizabeth Davis, of Blair county, Penn., and after residing for a time upon a farm adjoining the old homestead, pur- chased a large tract of land on the opposite side of the creek fromn Belsena. For some years he made his home there, engaging in lumbering and mercantile business, and then moved to Madera, where he bought a part of the William Alexander estate, and followed lumbering for a number of years.

Aaron P. Shoff, the ninth child of Christopher and Lydia Shoff, and the subject proper of this biography, was born November 28, 1840, upon the farm where he now resides. When he was about sixteen years old the death of his father brought the care of the homestead upon his in- experienced hands; but he bravely met the emer- gency, his successful management gaining him a high reputation as an agriculturist. On Septem- ber 28. 1875, he married Miss Margaret L. Cowan, and their home is brightened by one daughter, Lydia Ethel, born March 11, 1877, now teaching in the Bigler township public schools. Mrs. Shoff is descended from an old Clearfield county family, and her father, Stewart Cowan. was a well-known resident of Becaria township. Her mother, whose maiden name was Margaret Tate, was the daughter of Robert Tate, and his wife Hannah (Gilliland), a native of Ireland, who were married in Centre county in 1796. The former lived to the age of one hun- dred and two years, and the latter to ninety years and ten months. Mrs. Shoff's grandfather, Robert Tate, was a soldier of the war of iste, and her great-grandfather, Edw. Tate. fought against the Indians in the early days of the Rev- olution.

As a citizen Mr. Shoff can always be relied upon to nphold the best interests of his locality, and he is especially active in educational work, having served as school director in his district. He is a leading member of the Methodist Epis-

copal Church, to which his wife and daughter also belong, and for five years he was superin- tendent of the Sunday-school. Politically he is a Democrat.

H ENRY ALLEMAN (deceased), the founder of the thriving town of Allemanville, was a man whose energy, foresight and public spirit made him one of the leaders in the develop- ment of his section. In him the ability to plan with wisdom was combined with the power to carry out his ideas promptly, vigorously and effectively, and his name as a promoter of an enterprise gave promise of its success. But, notable as were his achievements in busi- ness life, his real character may be most clearly seen in his devotion to the higher interests of life.

A thorough Christian, he brought his faith into his thought and action, and many a kind and generous deed gave token of his warm and sym- pathetic heart. His nobility of character com- manded the respect of old and young, and his good deeds still live in influences whose power to stimulate others to a better life cannot be esti- mated. To the last he was deeply interested in religions work. He helped to found the Lutheran Church at Glasgow, Penn., and gave it liberal sup- port in after years. Although his home was three miles from the Church. he was a constant at- tendant, and during the last five years of his life he had the satisfaction of seeing a resident pastor with weekly services. In 1855 he organ- ized a union Sunday-school. from which orig- inated the first M. E. Church at Allemanville. At the time of his death, in 1896. he had been an official in the Church at Glasgow for more than forty years, and for thirty years had held the arduous post of superintendent of the Sun- day-school. His work in the cause of educa- tion should not be forgotten. as the first school house in Gulich township. Clearfield county, was built upon his land in :855, with the assistance of Joseph Fry and Daniel Fulkerson. It stood upon or near the present site of the Oak Grove school house. and two buildings have in turn re- placed the original one.

Mr. Alleman was born in Franklin county. . Penn., October 23, 1823. the son of Henry and Catherine. 'Holler, Alleman. He grew to man- 1 hood upon his father's farm, receiving a very limited education, and in 1831 settled on the borders of Clearfield and Cambria counties, at the place which now bears his name. the bound- ary line running through his house. His first purchase was from Robert Potter, who had made

a small clearing upon the tract and built a log cabin, of which Mr. Alleman made use by adding improvements from time to time, until he was able to build a better home. In 1870 he erected a large two-story residence, with all the modern improvements, making one of the finest homes in that region. Naturally, being a mill- wright by trade, and with the timber at hand, Mr. Alleman turned his attention to lumbering on first settling at Allemanville, and he continued for many years, doing an extensive business espe- cially in the sawing of shingles and lumber. At `one time he rented the Cambria mills and moved his family there, remaining two years. He had full charge of the mills, and in addition to his work there built five or six houses on contract. After his return to Allemanville he formed a part- nership, in 1859, with P. Sneringner, and estab- lished a large general store in the village. He owned a haif interest at first, but later purchased the entire business, which has since been con- tinued without interruption, hisson and daughter taking charge of it since his death. Some years ago Mr. Alleman bought a large tract of coal lands in Cambria and Clearfield counties, and the estate now comprises over seven hundred acres and an interest in properties in Franklin county, Pennsylvania.

Mr. Alleman was active in political manage- ment, as in all movements of public concern, and was a stanch Republican. In 1868 he secured · for Allemanville its first post office, and for twenty-eight years he held the position of post- master, being considered by the department at Washington a thoroughly efficient officer. For twenty years he served as school director, and he also held for a considerable period the offices of treasurer, assessor and tax collector. He was prominent in the F. & A. M., Tyrone Lodge No. 494, and in the I. O. O. F., being a charter member of Lodge No. 900, of Allemans, in whose room his death occurred February 15, 1896, a few moments after concluding an interesting ad- dress upon the work of the Order. Both societies joined in the solemn and impressive ceremonies attending his burial. From a local paper of about that date we glean the following loving tribute:"

A.sad and impressive scene occurred in the Lodge room of No. 900, I. O. O. F., Allemans, Clearfield county, Penn., on Saturday exening, February 15, 1896, in the sudden death of Henry Alleman, seventy-two years of age, one of the most loved and honored members of the Order at that place. The usual business of the meeting was in progress. Mr. Alleman had just been speaking, seemingly rather brighter and more cheerful than usual; he had not resumed his seat many moments when a Brother noticed him lean forward, and caught him before he fell to the floor. The family physician, Dr. Edwards, was present in the room, and all that hunan aid could do was rendered, but without avail.

His spirit had gone to its heavenly home, and to the rest and reward he so richly deserved. A sad and sorrowing group of Odd Fellows, including two sons, who were also in the room, and two daughters, who were hastily summoned, knelt around the loved form, and in the beautiful Lodge room, in the house he had built, they watched the last breath. A more peaceful death has never occurred since death came into this sinful world.

. Mr. Alleman's kindly nature made his home life charming. On April 22, 1852, he was mar- ried to Miss Catherine Shoemaker, daughter of David and Elizabeth Shoemaker, well-to-do resi- dents of Franklin county, Penn., residing upon a fine farm. At the time of their marriage Mrs. Alleman was but nineteen years old, and she shared the hardships, labors and anxieties of his first years at the new home, assisting him in every way; and as his life broadened she re- mained close to him, cheering and inspiring him by her sympathy and helpful counsel. She passed away October 22, 1881, leaving six chil- dren: (1) Libbie M. began her education in the local schools and later attended Tipton Semi- nary. She married David H. Kornman, formerly of Centre county, and now a contractor and builder at Allemanville, where he has erected a handsome home. They have six children --- Henry Raymond, born in 1879, now attending the high school at Spring Mills, Penn. ; Katherine A., born 1881, who attends the local schools: Ivan, born 1885; Rosa, born 1888; Egbert, born 1890, and Idella, born 1892. (2) Ida studied in the common schools, and then attended the nor- mal school at Curwensville for one tern. She taught in the public schools for three terms, and in 1881 was married to Dr. B. J. Fulkerson, of Gulich township, Clearfield county. He located in Tioga county and practiced medicine some fourteen years, and in 1895 moved to Tyrone, Penn., where they now reside. They have three children-Catherine, born in 1882; Eleanor, in 1884; and Dan, in 1889. (3) Miss Ella May Al- leman, a lady who combines rare business tact with womanly charms, was educated in the com- mon schools, and is now associated with her brother Clarence in the management of the store left by their father. She has also succeeded the latter as postmaster, and the duties of that office were never more ably discharged than by her. (4) Harry D. S. attended the local schools during his youth, and choosing agriculture as a pursuit located about six years ago upon one of his father's farms in Cambria county. He was mar- ried in I891 to Miss Eliza Hasman, of Cambria county, and has one son-George. (5) John Eg- bert received the usual public-school opportuni- ties, and has also chosen farming as an occupa- tion, taking charge of the hoinestead in company with his brother. In 1895 he married Miss Em-
