Mr. Scudder is an earnest advocate of the prin- ciples of the Republican party, and has ever been a supporter of that organization. Sincere and con- scientious Christian people, he and his wife are worthy members of the Presbyterian Church, in which he is serving as elder. Their lives have ever ^ been in harmony with their profession, and their sterling worth and many excellencies of character have won the admiration and esteem of all who know them.


JOHN SHAFFER, who resides on the old homestead at Waymart, is a representative of an honored and highly respected family of Wayne county. His paternal grandfather, Jolin Shaffer, - was a native of Germany, and on coming to the New World at about the beginning of the Revolu- tionary war, located in Orange county, N. Y., where he married a Miss Forbes. In 1783. after the birth 1 of their son John, they came to Wayne county, and located on a tract of land on Middle creek below the North & South road. Here their son Moses was born, being the first white child born in South Canaan township. The grandfather had received a very favorable report of this locality from a party of hunters living in Orange county, N. Y .. and he therefore determined to make it his future home. On removing to his farm in South Canaan town- ship he was obliged to ent his own roads, and with 1

During his infancy, John Shaffer ( the father of our subject ) was brought by his parents t Wayne county, and amid scenes of frontier life be grew to manhood, aiding his father in the arduous task of clearing and developing a new farm. In connection with his agricultural pursuits he also did some contracting, and our subject now has in his possession a contract, dated January 29. 1831. between the Homesdale & Clarksville Turnpike Co. and Charles Stanton, Blilander Beattys, Asa Stan- ton and John Shaffer. He also has the commissions given his father as lieutenant and captain of the State Militia, dated August 3. 1807; and a land warrant for his farm of sixty-nine acres, for which he paid $130, dated September 23, 1828. Our sub- ject now owns sixty-five acres of the original tract. having purchased the same of the other heirs Feb- ruary 26, 1876.


The father was born in Orange county. N. Y., December 25, 1783, and died in Wayne county, Penn., July 30, 1864.

John, born February 25, 1837, is next in the family. (5) Sarah .A., born November 22, 1841, died Feb- ruary 13, 1852. The parents and the children who are now deceased are all buried at Canaan Corners, Wayne county. The family is one of the highest respectability and is widely and favorably known.


The subject of this sketch has always resided upon the old homestead at Waymart, where he was born, and now gives his entire time and attention to its management. From 1864 until 1882 he was employed as brakeman on the Gravity railroad, but with that exception he has always engaged in farm work. He is well posted on the leading puestions and issues of the day, and in politics is a stanch Democrat.


JAMES P. SIMPSON. During the trying days of the Civil war the cause of freedom found many gallant defenders among our foreign-born residents, and the subject of this sketch, an English- man by birth, proved his devotion to the principles of Magna Charta by volunteering for "three years or the war." He took part in several important en- gagements, and a serious wound, which might have been fatal except for the pure blood and sound healthi that a wholesome life had brought him, is an incon- testable evidence of his courage. Mr. Simpson has been for a number of years a resident of Salem town- ship, Wayne county, where he is held in high esteem for his excellent qualities of character, and the fol- lowing history will be of general interest to our readers. .


Our subject belongs to an old Yorkshire fam- ily, and was born in Bradford, England, February 23, 1841. His father, Thomas Simpson, who for thirty years was an overseer of a large factory at that place, owned by Wood & Walker, manufac- turers of worsted goods, died in 1891, at the age of seventy-four. Our subject's mother, whose maiden name was Jane Perkins, died in 1854, aged thirty-nine, and the father for his second wife mar- ried Jane Reid, who died March 8, 1886. at the age of sixty-six. By the first union there were five chil- dren : James P., our subject : John W., now a clerk in a grocery store in England ; Miss Sarah, a resi- dent of Bradford, England: Elizabeth and Samuel. who both died in infancy. By the second marriage there were four children: Hepsiba, a resident of Bradford, England ; Alfred, who is clerking at Brad- ford; Joseph, who died December 9, 1899; and . Arthur, who is a bookkeeper for one of the largest business houses in Bradford.


Our subject remained at home until he at- tained his majority, but after the age of seventeen he was employed as a clerk by John Milligan. Son & Co., his education being continued at a night school. His active and clever mind enabled him to make good use of his educational opportunities, such as they were, and after coming to America, he at- tended school for some time in Boston, Mass. In 1862 he set sail for this continent, the voyage last- ing six weeks, and after spending a few days in New


York City he went to Toronto, Canada, where he remained several weeks. He then proceeded to Bui- falo, N. Y., and worked for three months for Isaac Jones ; but as the Civil war was in progress he de- cided to enlist in the government service. He joined the 27th N. Y. Light Artillery, under Capt. John B. Eaton, now of the regular army, for the term of three years, and served until honorably discharged at Washington, May 18, 1865. Among the batties in which he participated were those of the Wilder- ness, Spottsylvania, Poplar Grove Church, and Cold Harbor, also Petersburg, and he was with the forces in front of the latter place from June, 1864, until Sunday, April 2, 1865. While there he was struck in the lower jaw by a piece of a shell, making it necessary to remove some of the jaw bone. but owing to his good general health the wound healed in six weeks. On receiving his discharge he went to Cambridgeport, Mass .. to visit relatives for a few weeks, and the physicians there advised him to go home to England to recuperate. fle did so. re- maining about three months, but returned to Cam- bridgeport and learned the machinist's trade which he followed there until 1871. Before settling down permanently he determined upon a prospecting tour, and after a few weeks passed in Brooklyn, Penn .. he went to Scranton, this State, and took a position in the Dickson locomotive shops. After a year he removed to Philadelphia, worked there for a few months in the Baldwin locomotive shops, and then the next four years he spent in working at his trade in Corning, N. Y. At the end of that time he went to Lawrence, Mass., and as the panic which then prevailed made work at his trade difficult to obtain, he spent seven years as a bookkeeper for the Arlington Woolen Mills. During this period he saved enough money to purchase his present home- stead, an attractive place near Hamlinton, Wayne county, consisting of forty-one acres. He acquired the title in 1882, and removed there in the follow- ing year, since which date he has given much at- tention to the management of the farm. In the fall of 1883 he was employed on a lathe in the shops of the Dickson Manufacturing Co., at Scranton, and this position he held until 1896, when failing health compelled him to discontinue the work : but he still helps his old employers occasionally if they send for him in a busy season. He is an expert machinist, and his industry has brought him a fair competence, while he also draws a pension for his services to the nation during the war. In politics he has always been a Republican, his first vote being cast for Abra- ham Lincoln, but he has not sought official honors. Socially he and his wife are much esteemed. and he is connected with various fraternal orders, includ- ing the I. O. O. F. at Cambridge, Mass., the G. . 1. R. at Salem, and the F. & A.M., in which latter he has attained the 320 degree. He first joined the fraternity in November, 1870, at East Cambridge, Mass .; on June 18, 1873. was enrolled at Corn- ing, N. Y .. as a Chapter Mason, and on November 23, 1878, he was advanced to the degree of Knight

Blake, who was born in Attleboro, Mass., August 27, 1794. settled in Brooklyn, Penn., taking up a large tract of land, which he cleared and cultivated. He was a good farmier, was intelligent and well informed, and was a teacher in the early part of his life; he was a soldier in the war of 1812. He was married December 17, 1820, at Harford, Penn., to Miss Alcemena Case, a native of Litchfield, Conn., born December 22, 1797. They were both devout mem- bers of the Presbyterian Church, and were much respected by their acquaintances. He died . August 25, 1867, and the wife passed away on February 9. 1864, the remains of both being interred at Brook- lyn, Penn. Of their children, the eldest, Albert, born November 26, 1821, has never married, and is a resident of Susquehanna county; Edwin E., born October 29, 1823, married Mrs. Sarah E. Woodward, a widow, now deceased. and he resides in Salem township. Wayne county; Miss Mary R., born February 22, 1833, resides in Brooklyn.

JOHN F. McFARLAND, ticket, freight and express agent, and telegraph operator at Lake Ariel, Wayne county, is one of the active native-born young business men of the county.


Born July 6, 1872. in Lake township, Wayne county, he is a son of John S. and Sarahett ( Mitch- ell ) McFarland. of Jefferson township, Lacka- wanna Co., Penn., a sketch of whom appears else- where. Their son John F., of whom we write. received a liberal education at the public schools of his native place. and at the age of fifteen left , the parental roof for Scranton, Penn., where he clerked in a grocery store a year, thence removing to Georgetown. and there serving as telegrapher at the railway station one year. His next point was at Wimmers' Station. in Lackawanna county, where he was operator also a year, afterward serving as operator at different stations between Port Jervis and Hawley until 1895. in which year we find him again in Scranton, where he "worked the ticker" three months, finally coming to Lake Ariel to till his present responsible position.

Two children, Ethel Sarah, born January 31, 1897, and Ella Ruth, born Janu- ary 8, 1900, grace this union. Socially Mr. Mc- Farland is affiliated with the 1. O. O. F., and in politics he is a stanch Republican. He is bright, and popular with all classes, and embodies a rare combination of good nature with sound common sense.


EDWARD G. BELL was born in Rockland county, N. Y., June 8, 1851, and in his youth re- ceived a good training in the common English branches. He owns and operates a beautiful farm of seventy-three acres on the Delaware river. in Westfall township Pike county, only one and one- half miles from Port Jervis. N. Y., and in connection with general agriculture is engaged in keeping sum- mer boarders. He has a fine peach orchard on the place, raising fruit and vegetables for the Port Jer- vis market, and is a business man of more than ordi- nary ability, in all his undertakings meeting with most gratifying success. After his father removed to Port Jervis, he and his brother continued to oper- ate the farm together until 1807. when it was di- vided, and our subject erected a beautiful new resi- dence upon his portion of the 150 acres. He is a thorough and skillful agriculturist, and has made many improvements upon the place. which add greatly to its value and attractive appearance. So- cially he is a Master Mason, and politically a strong Democrat. He and his family have been quite prominent in the community where they reside. and it is to such men that the county owes its prosperity and advancement.

COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.


Mr. Racht was born in Prussia, Germany, Oc- tober 26, 1832, a son of Michael and Catherine ( Andres) Racht, who in 1857 joined our subject and his brother in Honesdale, where the mother died a year after hier arrival from a lingering ill- ness contracted on the voyage. The father, who was blind for several years, died at the home of a daughter in Honesdale, in 1862, aged sixty-one years. In early life he had worked as a general laborer and later as a farmer in Germany, accumu- lating in this way some money, which was invested in a farm on coming to America. The land was purchased in his name, and he made the first pay- ment, but the balance was paid by our subject and liis brother. The family remained together for many years, and as four of the children were mar- ried, they bought the farm on which our subject now resides in order to have more room. Work- ing together, they at length paid off the indebted- ness on the place, and converted the land into a valuable and productive farm. The parents were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery at Honesdale. In their family were the following children: Se- bastian, a prominent farmer, who died in South Canaan township in 1894; Jacob, a farmer of the same township; Michael, a teamster of Syracuse, N. Y. ; William, who died in Germany during child- hood: Jolin, the subject of this sketch ; and Anna, who married Andrew Stein ( both died in Hones- dale).


During his youth John Racht learned the shoe- maker's trade, at which he continued to work in Germany until 1852, when he and his brother Jacob sailed for the United States. From April until July they spent in New York City, where he worked at his trade, while his brother engaged in tailoring, and then went to Rondout, N. Y. After following their trades for some time, they spent two years in boating on the canal for others, and subsequently purchased a boat which they ran between Rondout and Honesdale for three years. After sending for their parents, they bought the farm in South Canaan township. Wayne county, which they operated to- gether for nine years. Our subject then took his present farm as his share of the property, and since locating on the same in 1867 has devoted his ener- gies to its cultivation and improvement with most satisfactory results.


In Honesdale. Mr. Racht was married Decem- ber 12. 1855. to Miss Elizabeth Trice. and to them were born the following children: Mary A. is now the wife of Anthony Burkert, who is connected with the Pennsylvania Coal Co. at Honesdale ; Mag- gie died at the age of seventeen years; William, a carpenter of Carbondale. Pen., married Nora Shaf- fer; Anna is the wife of John Doyle, a iumberman of Mckean county. Penn. : Andrew married Agnes Doyle, and is engaged in lumbering in MeKean county : John is also a lumberman of that county ; Susan died in childhood ; and Charles, Jacob and Elizabeth are still with their parents.


teen years, died June 7, 1899, and was buried in the Catholic cemetery at Honesdale, Penn. She was born July 10, 1835, in Prussia, Germany, where her parents, Mathew and Catherine ( Bollis) Trice, con- tinued to make their home until 1852, when they emigrated to America and located in Honesdale, Penn. The father, who was employed by the Penn- sylvania Coal Co., died August 15, 1878, aged sev- enty-five years, the mother in September, 1864, aged fifty-five, and both were buried at Honesdale. Of their children, Susan is the wife of Martin Pellance, who is employed on the coal docks at Honesdale ; Elizabeth was the wife of our subject; Mary wed- ded Charles Storr ( now deceased), and she died in January, 1871 ; and William is a resident of Ron- dout, New York.
