The late David Keller was born April 28, 1817, at the old homestead in Hamilton township, and was educated in the local schools. In early man- hood he engaged in mercantile business at Rich- mond, Northampton Co., Penn., but in 1847 he re- turned to his native township where he farmed for about two years. He then went to Stroudsburg and kept the "Indian Queen" hotel some eighteen months, in 1852 building the house in which the postoffice is now located. For eight years he re- sided therein, but later, purchasing property in Main street, he built the handsome and commodious resi- dence which his widow now occupies. For many years he was engaged in a brokerage business, and he became interested from time to time in other lines of effort, being a director in the Stroudsburg National Bank, and in 1853 purchasing the Monroe Democrat, which he retained for four years, the editorial management being intrusted to others. He was reared a Democrat, and in 1860 he support- ed Douglas for the Presidency, but later he be- came a steadfast Republican. In 1853 he was ap- pointed postmaster at Stroudsburg, a position he held for four years. In religious faith he was a Methodist, and he was a leading member of the congregation at Stroudsburg. Socially he joined the I. O. O. F., but subsequently gave up his mem- bership.

On May 28. 1839, Mr. Keller married Miss Ellen Brown, who was born October II, 1818, in Stroud, township. Monroe county, and is still en- joying the blessings of life, her health being excell- ent and her faculties being unimpaired. Eight children came to this union, namely: (1) Charles B., born March 21, 1840, conducts a news store in Stroudsburg. He married Miss Mary Walton, daughter of Dr. Walton, and they had nine chil- dren : H.

Abraham Smith was reared on the old home farm in Smithfield township, and acquired a good prac- tical education, attending the schools of Shawnee for several terms. During his boyhood he worked on the farm of Henry Kotz for seven years, and subsequently was for eleven years in the employ of Mackey & Miller, tanners, of Rusica, Monroe coun- ty. On leaving that place three years after his mar- riage he removed to Marshall's Creek, where the following year was passed, and in 1850 purchased a tract of partially cleared land in Middle Smith- field township, near Craig's Meadows, on which the family located ten years later. To its further development and cultivation he has since devoted his energies with marked success, so that he now has one of the best farms in the locality. He has set out a large orchard, erected good buildings and made many other valuable improvements. To his original purchase he has added forty acres, the improved part of which is known as the Lander property.

In 1855 Mr. Smith married Miss Hannah Jen- nings, a daughter of Cornelius and Mary (How- ell) Jennings, of Bucks county, Penn., who, on coming to Monroe county, settled in Middle Smith- field township, near Shoemakers, where they reared a large family of children, six of whom are now living. To our subject and his wife have been born eight children, as follows: (I) James M., born in Monroe county in December, 1856, grew to manhood on his father's farm, receiving the bene- fits of the winter schools. When a young man he commenced teaching in the public schools, and for eleven years was one of the successful teachers of Monroe county. In 1883 he graduated at the Mil- lersville State Normal, after which he taught one term at Matamoras, Pike county, two years in Co- lumbia, Lancaster county, and one term at Mt. Bethel. He married Miss Clara Sterline, of Co- lumbia, and in 1890 they removed to Reading, Penn., where he is now employed as bookkeeper and lumber inspector by the Philadelphia & Read- ing Railroad Company.

She is a young lady of scholarly tastes, and like her sister has many friends in the com- munity where they reside.

Politically Mr. Smith has always affiliated with the Democracy, but has never aspired to office. Religiously he and his family are all Protestant, though they hold membership in different denomi- nations, and he and his wife give liberally to the support of Church and charitable work. They have the respect and esteem of the entire commu- nity, and their friends are many throughout Mon- roe county.

CORNELIUS L. DEWITT. There is par- ticular satisfaction in reverting to the life history of the honored and venerable gentleman whose name opens this review, since his mind bears im- press of the historical annals of Pike county from pioneer days. He is a native of the county, born in Westfall township, January 30, 1821, and for many years was actively identified with its agri- cultural interests, but is now living retired at his pleasant home in Matamoras.

Ruderwick Dewitt, father of our subject, was a native of Pike county, the only child of Cornelius and Lydia (Westbrook) Dewitt, who died in West- fall township. They were natives of Sodus, N. Y., and Sussex county, N. J., respectively, and on com- ing to Pike county located in Milford township, where Fort Dewitt was afterward built, and which

was used during the Revolution. Cornelius De- witt was once captured by the Indians and taken to Canada, being held prisoner some two years, his wife meanwhile remaining on the farm. Ruderwick Dewitt first lived in Milford township, but later became a resident of Westfall township, where he engaged in farming for many years. There he de- parted this life in the fall of 1860, when past the age of one hundred years, and his wife died the pre- vious spring, aged sixty years, the remains of both being interred in the Quicktown burying-ground, Westfall township. They were earnest members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and he was a Democrat in politics. In her maidenhood Mrs. De- witt was Miss Leah Van Gorden, a daughter of Martin and Jane (Geggie) Van Gorden, natives of Sussex county, N. J., and Orange county, N. Y., respectively. Her maternal grandfather, a native of Ireland, operated a gristmill in Orange county for many years. Her parents both died in that county. Their children were: William; Silas; Leah; Peter; Dewitt; Catherine, wife of Jacob Smith; and Elsa and Maria (twins), the former being the wife of David Lambert. Our subject is the eldest in a family of four children, the others being Jacob (deceased), who married Susan White ; Martin, who married Hannah Dunning, and is en- gaged in farming in Sparta, Rockland Co., Wis .; and Lydia, deceased wife of Louis Gallaway.

Cornelius L. Dewitt remained with his parents until their deaths, and continued the cultivation of the old home farm in Westfall township until the fall of 1861, when he removed to the farm which he still owns, a tract of some 400 acres. At that time it was an almost unbroken wilderness, but de- voting his time and attention to its cultivation and improvement, he soon converted the wild tract into one of the most desirable farms of the locality. He continued its operation until 1888, when he re- moved to Matamoras and has since lived retired, enjoying a well-earned rest surrounded by all the comforts which makes life worth the living. Besides the farm they own considerable property in Mata- moras and are quite well-to-do. Hale, hearty, erect and vigorous, Mr. Dewitt yet takes a commendable interest in public affairs, and is an ardent sup- porter of the Democratic party. His life has ever been such as to command the confidence and respect of all with whom he has come in contact, and his friends are many throughout Pike county.

At Port Jervis, N. Y., in 1851, Mr. Dewitt married Miss Anna Catherine Kadel, by whom he has five children : Jacob, who conducts a clothing store in Port Jervis; Emma, wife of James Gross, engineer on the Erie railroad, residence Matamoras, Penn .; Catherine and Mary, both residing at home ; and Alpha, who is a partner with his brother in the clothing business at Port Jervis.

Mrs. Dewitt was born in Bergennow, Germany, October 30, 1838, and came to America at the age of fifteen with her aunt, Christina Lieberknecht. Her parents were Frederick and Anna C. Kadel, of Ger-

many, where her mother died in 1842. In 1853 the father came to America and became a resident of New York City, where he passed away in 1861, aged sixty-one years. In his younger days he was a merchant, and after coming to this country he purchased a bakery, but was soon compelled to dis- pose of the same on account of ill health. He then lived retired until his death. His children were : George, who died unmarried; John, who married Dora Couck, and lives in Port Jervis, N. Y .; Jacob, who first married Catherine Stoll, and (second) Anna Nemeyer, and died in 1898; Anna Catherine, wife of our subject; and Michael, a retired merchant of Matamoras, who married Margaret Kalb.

NATHANIEL C. MILLER, M. D., a leading physician and surgeon of Stroudsburg, Monroe coun- ty, is worthy of special notice in the pages of this volume. He keeps well abreast of the advances in medical science, being a constant student of mod- ern methods, and of late years he has made a specialty of one of the most difficult branches of the profession.

The Doctor is of English descent, but his fam- ily has been identified with Pennsylvania from Co- lonial times. The first ancestor of whom we have definite information was John Miller, our subject's great-great-grandfather, who lived and died in En- gland. Captain Sebastian Miller, the great-grand- father of our subject, was born February 6. 1758, in Yorkshire, England, and came to America in early manhood, locating first in Montgomery county, Penn., then in Wilkes Barre. and finally in. what is now Hamilton township, Monroe county. He died November II, 1842, while on a visit to a brother in Montgomery county. He served as a captain in the Revolutionary war, and for many years he practiced medicine successfully, although he was not a graduate of any college. He married Miss Susan Dillion (or Burdillion, the original spelling of the name being now in doubt), a Qua- ker, who was born in Scotland and died in Penn- sylvania July 25, 1834. They had the following children : Ann ( Mrs. Dungan), born September 2, 1786, died December 16, 1865; William, born Oc- tober 18, 1788; Charles, who is mentioned more fully below ; Margaret, born April 6, 1793, who never married; Mary, born February 13, 1795, died August 13, 1879, unmarried ; Hannah, born in November, 1797; Elizabeth ( Mrs. Houser ), born April 23, 1799, died April 22, 1870; John, born De- cember 12, 1800, died November 17, 1874 ; Samuel, born January 21, 1803, died August II, 1855; Jos- eph, born February 7. 1805, died August 9, 1865; Daniel, born February 15, 1807, died June 3, 1874; Violet ( Mrs. Kesbaugh ), born February 15, 1808, died in Wilkes Barre January 18, 1892; and Sarah (Mrs. Ezeliel Reemer ), born March 5, 1812. died October 19, 1888. At the time of the death of Capt. Sebastian Miller the following obituary notice appeared in a leading Philadelphia newspaper :

ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY VETERAN GONE.

Departed this life on the 11th inst., at the home of John Miller, Sebastian Miller, in the eighty-fifth year of his age. He had left his far distant home to take a last leave of his aged and only brother, residing in Abington, Montgomery county. He had not seen this only brother for fourteen years. In the providence of God he was to end his days beneath his roof, where he experienced every kindness. He was the father of a numerous offspring, most of whom are still living. Of his twelve children who survive him, nine are professors of religion. Many of his grandchildren are pious, and his great-grandchildren are being trained in the way in which they should go. His children, including his sons and daughters-in-law, with his grandchildren and great- grandchildren, number one hundred and sixteen. He lived during the Revolutionary war, and took an active part in securing the freedom of our country. He was an old man and full of years. His children entertained a good hope that he was prepared for his great change, for he was a prayerful man and was often seen on his knees reading over his pre- cious Bible, which was his daily companion. His sufferings during his short illness were great. But his language was, in intervals of ease, "How good it is to be afflicted." His last hours were peaceful. His remains were conveyed to the place where he resided, and he was interred surrounded by weeping relatives. " Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."

Charles Miller, the grandfather of our subject, was born December 20, 1789, and died March 15, 1863. He was a cooper by trade, and in addition to manufacturing barrels he was for many years engaged in agriculture in Hamilton township, Monroe county, Penn. His wife, Anna Catherina ( Fetterman ). was born August 17, 1790, and died March 26, 1875, and the remains of both now rest in the cemetery at Hamilton Church; they were members of the Lutheran Church. [See sketch of the Fetherman family farther on.] They had three children, our subject's father, Philip Miller, being the eldest : Sallie, born August 14, 1819, mar- ried Charles I. Miller, and resides at Bartonsville, Monroe county ; and Lydia Ann, born October 21, 1824, died May 4, 1850, unmarried.

Philip Miller, the father of our subject, was born January 21, 1816, and made his home upon a farm in Hamilton township, Monroe county. On August 3, 1842, during the administration of Gov- ernor Porter. Philip Miller was commissioned a second lieutenant of the Sixth Company, 24th Regiment of Pennsylvania Militia, Seventh Divis- ion, First Brigade, of the counties of Northampton, Pike and Lehigh. In 1857 he removed to Strouds- burg, and engaged in mercantile business. In 1880 he took charge of a temperance hotel in that city, but a few years later he retired from business, and his death occurred July 28, 1887. In politics he was a Democrat ; he and his wife were devout members of the Lutheran Church. On January 5, 1841, he married Miss Eliza Cope, who was born March 29, 1822, and died February 17, 1881, and three children were born to them: Franklin, born January 31, 1842, resides in Stroudsburg, Monroe county ; he married Lizzie Slutter, and has three sons-Ambrose C., Norman N. and Floyd C., and one daughter, Luretta F.

Mrs. Eliza (Cope) Miller was a daughter of Hon. Jacob and Catharine (Bruch) Cope, the lat- ter of whom was a daughter of George Bruch, a native of Germany, who married a Miss Repsher. Hon. Jacob Cope was born in Bucks county, Penn., was a prominent politician, and held numerous offices, including those of sheriff and representative in the State Legislature. He had six sons-David, Aaron, Isaac, James (an ex-prothonotary of North- ampton county), and Drs.

Dr. N. C. Miller, our subject, was born July 25, 1848, in Monroe county and received his liter- ary education in Stroudsburg, attending public and private schools and under private tutors. At the age of sixteen he began his medical studies with Dr. A. Reeves Jackson, then of Stroudsburg, who afterwards became a prominent physician of Chi- cago. where he was connected with the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Later our subject took a course in the Medical Department of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, graduating in 1870, and then located in Stroudsburg, where he met with gratifying success from the start. In 1890 he pursued a post-graduate course in New York City, making a thorough study of the diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat, and his success in the treatment of those ailments has brought him a lucrative special practice. He is a member of the Lehigh Medical Society; was on the Stroudsburg Board of United States Pension Examining Sur- geons during the years 1885 to 1897, inclusive, and examined recruits for the Spanish-American war in 1899; and socially as well as professionally, he holds an enviable position.
