Christopher Marsh was born March 7, 1824, at the old home in Hamilton township, Monroe county, where he grew to manhood, his educational opportunities being limited to the public schools of the neighborhood. As a young man he learned the cooper's trade, and also that of wheelwright, which he followed until 1850. He then purchased the Joseph Strunk farm in Stroud township, Mon- roe county, where he has since resided, and during this time he has greatly improved the place, erecting excellent buildings, and clearing about sixty acres which were still covered with the primitive forest. After some years he bought fifty acres of the Metz- gar farm, adjoining, and he now has one of the best farms in the township. Politically he is a steadfast Republican, and in religion he adheres to the German Reformed Church, of which his ancestors were devout followers as far back as family tradition extends.

In 1848 Mr. Marsh married Miss Julia Strunk, who was born at the present homestead, daugh-

ter of Joseph and Christina Strunk, well known pioneers of Stroud township, Monroe county. Twelve children have blessed this union, of whom all but the first were born at the present home- stead. (1) Christiana married Hebron Franken- field, of Stroud township, and died in 1881, leaving no family. (2) Mary married Napoleon Demund, of Smithfield township, and has six sons-Howard, Robert, Floyd, Charles, Frederick and Millard. (3) Isabell (deceased) married Alonzo Hummer, of Stroud township, but left no children. (4) Steward, a brick layer and plasterer in Bangor, Penn., mar- ried Miss Amelia Getter, of Northampton county, and they have had the following children. Chester, Grace, Sheridan, May, George, Ethel and Russel, all living except Chester and May. (5) Christopher, Jr., building inspector for the Delaware, Lacka- wanna & Western R. R., resides in Stroudsburg. He married Miss Carrie Kemmerer, of Hamilton township, and has two sons, Norman and Randolph, and one daughter, Myrtle. (6) Eugene, who died in Stroudsburg in 1894, was a mechanic by occupa- tion. His widow, whose maiden name was Hattie Groner, still resides in Stroudsburg with her four children : Blanche, Jennie, Anna and Benjamin. (7) Elmer, a bricklayer at Bangor, Penn., married Miss Emma Wright, of Northampton county, and has one daughter, Cula. (8) Abram, who conducts a boarding house (a small hotel) at Water Gap, married Miss Anna Wright, of Northampton county. (9) Alvaretta married Peter Hunseicker, a railway fireman residing in Stroudsburg, and has one daughter, Grace. (10) Emma, who now has charge of the domestic affairs at the homestead, is a lady of marked intelligence and ability, and is much esteemed by a large circle of friends. (II) Norton, born April 22, 1870, is a bricklayer by trade, and is now engaged in contract work in New Jersey with every prospect of a successful future. In 1897 he married Miss Winifred Owens, of North- ampton county, and settled in Stroud township, where his young wife died after only five months of wedded life. (12) Burton, born in 1873, is not married, and resides at Newton, N. J., where he fol- lows the carpenter's trade.

JOHN BRUNDAGE. This venerable pioneer of Gibson township, Susquehanna county, has been enjoying the peace and comfort which fitly crown a well. spent life. He has witnessed a mar- velous change in the affairs of his native county, from the penury and privations of the early decades of the century now rapidly closing, to the rich fruitage of a bountiful region, which needed only the well directed efforts of man to yield rich returns. The educational advantages of John Brundage were meager indeed. His parents were poor and to help pay for his tuition, he cut wood on Satur- days and at nights.

He was born in Gibson township, Susquehanna county, August 10, 1816, son of John and Polly (Wayman) Brundage, natives of Dutchess county,

N. Y., and Orange county, N. Y., respectively, and the grandson of Daniel Brundage who was a Brit- ish soldier in the Revolutionary war, and became attached to the new country; he married a Miss Betts, and settled in Dutchess county, N. Y. His children were: Daniel; John, father of our subject ; William; Nancy, wife of Daniel Johnson ; Margaret, wife of Isaac Taylor. He died a farmer in Orange county, N. Y. The parents of our subject, John and Polly Brundage, were married in Orange coun- ty, N. Y., in 18II. Polly was the daughter of Ed- ward and Phoebe (Taylor) Wayman, who in 1812 removed from Orange county, N. Y., to Gibson township, Susquehanna county, and thence to Har- ford, where he died. The children of Edward and Phoebe Wayman were Polly, mother of our sub- ject; Abigail, wife of Zephemiah Birdsell; Mar- garet, wife of Leonard Conklin; Jonathan; Annie E., who married Raymond Wilcox, of Salem town- ship, Wayne county, and who on August 10, 1899, celebrated her eighty-ninth birthday.

John Brundage, the father of our subject, was born in July, 1784. He was a farmer through life and died May 1, 1868, aged eighty-four years. In religious affiliation he was a member of the Baptist Church. The family of John and Polly Brundage consisted of the following children: Phoebe, born May 3, 1812, married Solomon Lott, and is now de- ceased ; John, subject of this sketch ; Abbie J., born December 11, 1818, married Russell Tiffany, and is now deceased; Daniel, born June 6, 1821, is a resi- dent of Salem township, Wayne county ; George G., born October 29, 1823, died June 5, 1885 ; Mary A., born September 19, 1827, married for her first hus- band Lee Forcyth, and for her second Henry Whit- ney, of Gibson township; William E., born December 28, 1829, now of Harford township; Nancy, born June 10, 1832, married Collins Peck, of South Harford; Joseph, born July 21, 1834, re- sides in West Lenox township.

Until the age of twenty our subject resided at the home of his parents. He then worked for Hon. Charles Chandler, of Lenox township, for two years and thereby acquired the means to pay for 100 acres of wild land. Making a small clearing, he raised one crop of wheat, and then sold the property and purchased a farm of 105 acres in what is known as Kentuck, Gibson township. Upon this tract he began house-keeping, and there he remained until April, 1890, and in 1899 he sold this property to his granddaughter, Grace D. Michael.

Mr. Brundage was married March 2, 1840, in Gibson township, to Miss Lucy Carpenter, who was born in Gibson township, April 15, 1815, daughter of David and Abia (Follett) Carpenter. David Carpenter was one of the pioneer settlers of Gibson township, migrating to the township from Attleboro, Mass., in 1809, and in 1810 returning and bringing with him to the new home his wife and six-year-old nephew, Wesley Carpenter, by ox- team and sled. He was a cousin of Josiah and Daniel Carpenter, two of the "Nine Partners" of

Harford township, and his wife was a sister of Robert Follett, another of the "Nine Partners." To David and Abia Carpenter were born four chil- dren : Chester (born 1813, died 1839, aged twenty- six), whose son, Calvin, was a judge at Golden City, Col., and died in 1889; Lucy, wife of our subject ; Timothy, who for fifteen years was justice of the peace in Gibson; and Delancy, wife of Sabinas Walker, a merchant of Nicholson, Pennsylvania.

To John and Lucy (Carpenter) Brundage were born three children, all of whom in their younger years taught school : Freeman, born May 16, 1841, married Amanda E. Dimmick, in 1862, and died June 14, 1894; Sabra P., born August 14, 1851, taught school for many years, married Emory Shepardson and died January 25, 1890; John M., born May 7, 1854, married Lucinda Lazarus, of Buttonwood, Luzerne Co., Penn., and resides at New Milford, Pennsylvania. The mother of these children died March 1, 1887, and is buried in South Gibson cemetery, and for the past nine years Mr. Brundage has lived with his son Freeman and his family. In politics he is a Republican. Mr. Brun- dage has never aspired to office, preferring to devote his energies to business affairs, for which he has most admirably proved his adaption. For the past fifty years he has been a member of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church, and during thirteen of those years he has been class leader. He is one of the leading citizens of Gibson township, keeps well informed upon current events, and is most highly respected by all who know him.

FREEMAN BRUNDAGE, deceased. The subject of this memoir, who died at his home in Gibson township, Susquehanna Co., June 14, 1894, was one of the most highly esteemed residents of that locality. Taking an active share in the varied activities of life in a rural community, his influence counted for progress in all lines, and his quiet but effective work will not be forgotten. He was a native of Gibson township, born May 16, 1841, and belonged to a well-known family, his parents, John and Lucy (Carpenter) Brundage, being prominent residents of the township; the mother is now de- ceased, but the father is a well preserved man in his eighty-fourth year. In early manhood Mr. Brundage taught school successfully, but later he became a farmer and stock dealer, his energetic and far-sighted management enabling him to accumu- late a large amount of property. For many years he was secretary of the South Gibson Creamery Company, and his advice was often sought by oth- ers in connection with business affairs. Politically he was a Republican, and he served a number of years as township assessor. He and his family were prominently identified with the Methodist Episcopal Church at South Gibson, where he gave many years of faithful service as a leader of the choir. His funeral was largely attended, the friends of a life-time meeting to pay their last tribute of respect, and his remains now repose in the South

Gibson cemetery. On April 10, 1862, Mr. Brun- dage was married in Gibson township, to Amanda E. Dimmick, of Uniondale, Penn., and three chil- dren were born of the union: (1) Arthur N., born September 10, 1866, married Mary Wakely, of Springville, Penn., and is engaged in business in Syracuse, N. Y., as manager of a tea store. (2) Fred M., born September 16, 1874, married Nellie Conrad, and resided on the farm of his great-grand- father, David Carpenter, in Gibson township, until his death on March 13, 1900, at the early age of twenty-five years. Honest and upright in his busi- ness as a stock dealer and as a partner in the South Gibson Creamery Company, faithful as a member and officer of the Temperance Union, active as a worker in the Epworth League, and in the M. E. Church, true to himself and to his God, he was a constant inspiration to his associates, for the love of higher, purer things. "He died young, but there are silvered heads, whose race of duty is less nobly run." (3) Grace D., born March 21, 1881, married W. W. Michael, and resides on the old Brundage homestead.

Mrs. Amanda (Dimmick) Brundage was born November 21, 1840, at Uniondale, Penn., daughter of Joshua T., and granddaughter of Edward Dim- mick, who came from Massachusetts at an early date and settled in Susquehanna county, with his wife, Esther Tilden. Joshua T. Dimmick died Jan- uary 4, 1843, aged forty-five years, and was buried at Uniondale. His wife, Eliza Mattison, who was born in 1800, died February 3, 1890, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Freeman Brundage, and was buried in South Gibson. Her parents, Francis and Betsey (Fields) Mattison, were natives of Orange Co., N. Y., but made their permanent home in Sul- livan Co., N. Y. The parents of Mrs. Brundage were both married twice and her father by his (first) marriage to Rhoda Carpenter had the following children : (1) Esther M., Mrs. Thomas Arnold, died at Oil City, Penn. (2) Emily, Mrs. Collins Gelatt, died in 1896, in Jackson township. (3) Melissa, Mrs. Sylveas, died in Illinois. (4) George M. died in Minnesota in 1895. (5) Martha, widow of George Kishbaugh, resides in Lanesboro, Penn. (6) Mary Edna, widow of John Van Horne, died at her home in Lanesboro, October 20, 1899, being burned to death, by the explosion of a lantern, which set her clothing on fire, and the inhaling of flames caused her immediate death. She left an only son. C. E. Van Horne, of Susquehanna.

SETH HOWELL, a leading and representa- tive farmer of Scott township, Wayne county, has for about twenty years been actively identified with the agricultural interests of the community. His father, David Howell, was a native of the county, born in Mt. Pleasant township, in April, 1827, a son of David and Wealthy (Campbell) Howell. In 1852, Seth Howell wedded Miss Mary Buck, of Nicholson, Wyoming Co., Penn., a daughter of John and Mary Buck, farming people. After their

marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Howell located in the town of Mt. Pleasant, where they resided for one year, and then removed to Starrucca, Wayne county, where the father was employed in the tannery of Osborn & Strong for one year. In 1854 he removed to Dane county, Wis., and after following farm- ing there for three years, he went to Richland county, that State, where he purchased a tract of timberland, which he cleared and converted into a good farm, continuing its cultivation until July, 1862, when he enlisted in Company B, 20th W. V. I. The regiment was assigned to the Western Army on the Missouri river, where he did duty as a train guard during the battle of Pea Ridge. His health giving way before his three years had expired, he was ordered to the hospital, where he remained until honorably discharged at the close of the war, July 5, 1865.

During his absence Mrs. Howell had removed to Towersville, Crawford Co., Wis., for the purpose of providing her children with better educational privileges, and on his return from the army, the father sold his farm in Richland county, and pur- chased another near Towersville, in Crawford county, Wis. He never recovered his health, and during the five years he made that place his home he was unable to perform any manual labor. Sell- ing out in the spring of 1871, he and his family moved to DeKalb county, Mo., in a wagon drawn by two yoke of oxen, camping out at night by the wayside, and making the journey in four weeks. For two years he engaged in farming in that county and for the same length of time was similarly em- ployed in Davis county, Mo. On account of his own and his wife's health, he disposed of his prop- erty there, and returned to Lenoxville, Susque- hanna Co., Penn., where he engaged in agricultural pursuits for one year. The following two years were spent at Nicholson, Wyoming Co., Penn., and in. March, 1879, he came to Scott township, Wayne county, where he purchased 100 acres of woodland, and with the aid of his two sons cleared and con- verted it into a fine farm. Upon this place he spent his remaining days, dying July 19, 1893. He was a Democrat in politics and while a resident of the West held several local offices, and in Scott township served as treasurer. Religiously both he and his estimable wife were faithful members of the Methodist Episcopal Church while in the West. After coming to Scott township they joined the Evangelical Church.

In the family of this worthy couple were three children. (1) Clara A., born in Mt. Pleasant town- ship, Wayne county, in November, 1852, received a public school education, and in 1880 married L. P. Curtis, of Scott township, Wayne county, where he died September 18, 1887, leaving a widow and two children-May Bell, born March 5, 1884; and Frank A .. born November 29, 1886. (2) A. C., born in Richland county, Wis., December 29, 1856, was educated in the schools of Wisconsin and Mis- souri, and accompanied his parents on their various

removals. He was married October 18, 1892, to Iola Cole, of Scott township, and to them were born two children-Maria A., who was born March II, 1893, and died April 30, of the same year; and Lizzie M., born May 19, 1894. A. C. Howell lives upon a part of the old homestead and with our sub- ject is engaged in the cultivation of the place.

O. P. HOWELL, who completes the family, was born in Richland county, Wis., October 24, 1858, and after attending the schools of that State and Missouri, he completed his education in the high school of Nicholson, Penn. He remained with his parents until he had attained the age of twenty-four years, but after his marriage located upon a tract of eighty-two acres of wild land in Scott township, which he purchased. He made some improvements upon that place, but now lives on a part of the old homestead, while he and his brother successfully operate the farm.

In 1882, Mr. Howell was united in marriage with Miss Myra J. Hines, of Starrucca, Wayne county, and they have become the parents of three children: Ella M., born March 28, 1883; Jesse E., born September 21, 1886, and Earl E., born April 5, 1892. The two older are now attending the public schools of Scott township. Like his father, Mr. Howell gives his political support to the Democracy, and on his party ticket was first elected school director in 1888 for a term of three years. So acceptably did he fill the position that he has been re-elected, and is now serving in that position to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.

PERRY SWEET, a well-known merchant and prominent business man of Alford, Susquehanna county, is a true type of our American progress and enterprise. His indomitable energy, strict integ- rity, prudent business methods and reliable sagacity, have all combined to make him one of the ablest business men of Susquehanna county, and his success has been worthily achieved.

Mr. Sweet is a native of the county where he now makes his home, born in Brooklyn township, June 17, 1847, and is a son of George A. and Amanda A. (Wright) Sweet, also natives of Sus- quehanna county, the former born in Harford town- ship, December 5, 1818, the latter in Lathrop town- ship, July 16, 1821. The father was engaged in the lumber business and operated sawmills in Glen- wood, Alford and other parts of the county. He died in Alford, April 30, 1897, and was laid to rest in Wright cemetery, near Foster, Penn. He was a man of many sterling qualities and was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, to which his wife, who now makes her home with our subject, also belongs. Their children were as follows : Elias, born November 9, 1841, died in Lathrop township, April 1, 1846; Henry, born May 3, 1843, was a soldier of the Civil war and died at Beverly, N. J., October 22, 1864, while in the ser- vice ; Perry, is next in order of birth ; Elias A., born September 6, 1850, died in Brooklyn township, May

18, 1851; Andrew, born October 22, 1854, died in New Milford township, February 8, 1869; and Sarah, born October 8, 1861, married Willard Gab- bit, and died in Brooklyn township, August 21, 1893. Our subject's paternal grandparents were Elias and Silvia (Foster) Sweet, and his maternal grandparents were Anthony and Sally (Sweatland) ·Wright.

Perry Sweet spent the first sixteen years of his life under the parental roof. At that age he entered his country's service during the Civil war, enlist- ing at Montrose, February 9, 1864, in Company A, 57th P. V. I., under Jerome R. Lyons, for three years. He was mustered in at Harrisburg, and par- ticipated in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsyl- vania, Cold Harbor, North Ann River, South Ann River and Petersburg. He was at the last named place from June 16 to June 21, 1864, and on the latter date received a sunstroke. He was then sent to the hospital, and was at Chestnut Hill Hospital, Philadelphia, when mustered out, being discharged June 12, 1865. Returning home, he worked on the farm four years, and the following year was in the railroad employ. In 1872, he embarked in his present business as a merchant of Alford, and was not long in building up the large trade which he now enjoys. He is an honored member of the Grand Army Post at Brooklyn, and is a stanch supporter of the Republican party and its princi- ples. He filled the office of school director for nine years, and was the efficient president of the board for seven years of that time. In all the relations of life he has been found true to every trust reposed in him, and his loyalty is never questioned.

On July 4, 1868, at Abington, Penn., Mr. Sweet was united in marriage with Miss Sarah A. Selner, who was born in Newton, this State, April 30, 1851, and they have two children: Arthur E., born July 15, 1872, is superintendent of the rail- road extension department of the International Cor- respondence School, Scranton, Penn. He married Carrie E. Jones, and had two children : G. Perry, deceased, and Ellen. Eva M., born May II, 1874, is the wife of Frank Moore, who is in the insurance business in Binghamton, New York.

Daniel Selner, the father of Mrs. Sweet, is now living retired with our subject and his wife in Al- ford. He was born in Bucks county, Penn., Feb- ruary 16, 1826, a son of Charles and Margery (Clymer) Selner, life-long residents of that county, where the father followed farming. He died in May, 1895, and the mother, who was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church, died in Au- gust, 1885. Their children were: Mary, widow of John Niblick, and a resident of Bucks county : Jacob, a farmer of Ohio; Beckie, wife of Cornelius Calfie, of Bucks county ; John, who died at the age of seven years ; Charles, who died in the West; Jo- seph, a resident of Wilkesbarre, Penn .; and Daniel, father of Mrs. Sweet. His paternal grandfather was Daniel Selner, who followed farming in Bucks county throughout life. On leaving home at the

age of seventeen years, Mrs. Sweet's father went to Luzerne county, Penn., where he worked for different farmers until after the Civil war broke out. At Harrisburg, he enlisted in September, 1862, in Company K, 17th P. V. C., under Capt. Fitzgerald, for three years, and was discharged at Cloud's Mills, Va., in June, 1865. He participated in the battles of Chancellorsville, Brandy Station, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Mine Run, Hall's Church, and the last engagement at Harper's Ferry. He was on detached duty much of the time as stable boss for his company. After receiv- ing his discharge, he returned to Luzerne county, where he engaged in farming until 1893, and then removed to South Wilkesbarre, where he hauled sand until coming to Alford to make his home with our subject in 1896. While a resident of Luzerne county, he served as supervisor for two years. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, is a stanch supporter of the Republican party, and is highly respected by all who know him. In Abing- ton, Penn., he was married, March 18, 1848, to Emaline Griffin, a daughter of Parents and Thena (Pellam) Griffin, of Long Island, the former of whom died in Newton, Penn., the latter in New York State.

PULASKI CHALKER. Wherever known this industrious and successful farmer of Choconut township, Susquehanna county, has the reputation of sterling worth and fair dealing. Though born in Broome county, N. Y., he is the descendant of early New England settlers of Choconut township. Prior to March, 1809, three brothers, Daniel, Jo- seph, and Charles Chalker, migrated from their old home in Vermont, and settled on the Choconut, in the lower part of the township. Of these, Daniel, the grandfather of our subject, lived for many years in Choconut, where he cleared up a farm and died. He reared a large family of children, namely : Dan- iel, Enos, Warren, Elkanah, Jeremiah, Eliza, Chloe and Anna.

Elkanah Chalker, son of Daniel, was born in Choconut township, September 16, 1813. He was reared on his father's farm in his native township, and in 1835 married Elmyra Platt, who was born in

1816, one of the thirteen children of Samuel Platt, who in an early day migrated from Connecticut, and cleared up a large farm on Choconut Creek, near the Chalker home. After his marriage Elkanah Chalker settled at Lawsville Center, Liberty town- ship. Later he purchased from Caleb Carmalt a large tract of land in Choconut, and then cleared it up. He erected a good house and barn, and also a sawmill with sash saw, later improved by circular saw, which he operated for many years. He owned a large amount of land, from which he lumbered for many years, manufacturing shingles and sawed lumber for Binghamton market. Elkanah Chalker was a Democrat, and held a number of local offices ; in religious faith he and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He died at his home in 1879, and his worthy Christian wife died in 1891, leaving six children, namely : (I) Charles T., born on July 4, 1836, in Liberty township, and mar- ried Miss Emily Fairbrother, of Broome county, N. Y. They settled on a part of his father's home- stead, where they still reside, and have four chil- dren living-Almira, Ada, Frank and Charles.
