CHARLES A. KRESGE, justice of the peace, is a prominent citizen of Polk township, Monroe county, and for many years has been engaged in mercantile business at Kresgeville, although he de- votes much of his attention at present to agricul- .tural pursuits. His enterprise, ability and public spirit have been shown in many ways, and especially in connection with the educational interests of his locality, his early experience as a teacher having given him a practical knowledge of the needs of the schools.

Mr. Kresge was born August 3, 1848, in Polk township, Monroe county, and is a great-grandson of Conrad Kresge, who came from Switzerland to this section about 1745. This well-known pioneer had ten children: Conrad, John ( who was killed by Indians when twelve years old at Effort, Penn. ), William, George, Philip. Jacob, Abraham, Mrs. John Sox, Mrs. Fred Noggle, and Mrs. Henry Everett.

George Kresge, our subject's grandfather. was born in Polk (then Chestnut Hill) township, Northampton county, and passed his lite there as a farmer and innkeeper. Politically he was a Demo- crat, and for many years was a leading member of the Reformed Church in his neighborhood. He died in August, 1853, aged seventy-four years, and his remains now rest in the Pleasant Valley ceme- tery. By his first wife, a Miss Shupp, he had three sons. Philip, George and Samuel. His second wife. Catherine Serfass, who died in 1863, at the age of seventy-seven years, was a native of Polk town- ship, and a member of an old pioneer family which is mentioned more fully elsewhere. Their children were: Thomas, deceased : Sallie, widow of John Kunkle, of Kresgeville; David and James, both de- ceased ; Joel, our subject's father : Reuben, a resi- dent of Leighton, Penn. ; and Catherine, widow of John Gregory, of Chestnut Hill township, Monroe county.

Joel Kresge was born January 15, 1823. in what was then Chestnut Hill township. North- ampton county, and is now a highly-esteemed resi- dent of Kresgeville. He was reared to farm life, and on leaving home, in 1846, engaged in farming in Polk township, Monroe county. on his own account. In 1875 he took charge of the "Mansion House." at Kresgeville, which he conducted until his retirement from business. in 1892. In politics he is a stanch Democrat. and for two years he held the office of assessor. Like all of the family. he is identified with the Reformed Church. On Decem- ber 16, 1845, he was married, in Polk township. to Miss Caroline Huffsmith, and the following children blessed the union: Henry, a traveling

Berlin, of Kresge- ville ; and Tilghman H., unmarried, who is at pres- ent employed at Slatington, Penn. Mrs. Caroline ( Huffsmith) Kresge, who was born Mareh 27, 1825, in Chestnut Hill .township, Monroe county, died May 28, 1898, her remains being interred in the cemetery at Pleasant Valley. She was a most es- timable woman, and was a member of a well-known family, her parents, Peter and Sally ( Shoemaker) Huffsmith, having settled in Monroe county at an early day, upon a farm.

Our subject passed his youth upon the home farm, and received his education at the following institutions of learning: Union Seminary, New Berlin, Union Co., Penn .; Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Penn. ; and the Kutztown State Normal School, Kutztown, Penn., where he spent three terms. At the age of eighteen he began teach- ing, in which vocation he engaged successfully, being employed at Canadensis, Pleasant Valley, Al- brightsville, Trachsville (now Carbon), Middle Creek and the Roth district. He was also engaged several years in the distilling of oil of wintergreen, which at that time was a lucrative business. In 1872 he engaged in business at Kresgeville as a merchant, in partnership with Mr. Berlin, his brother-in-law, but after two years retired from the firm, and for five years he was actively interested in farming. In 1880 he again joined Mr. Berlin in a mercantile enterprise at Kresgeville, continu- ing until 1891, when he turned his attention to farming. Since 1886 he has also been interested in the millinery business, over which his daughter presides. He has also taken keen interest in local affairs, held the office of township auditor for sev- eral terms, and for three years served as school director. In 1889 he was elected justice of the peace, and is now serving a third term, having been re-elected in 1894 and 1899. His political support has always been given to the Democratic party. As a member of the Salem Reformed Church he is active in religious work, and he and his family are much esteemed in social life.

On July 1I, 1873, Mr. Kresge was married, at Lehighton, Penn., to Miss Sarah F. Frantz, whose aid has been a marked factor in his success. Three children were born to this union: Miss Cordelia C., a young lady of fine artistie taste and business ability, who has charge of the millinery store : Arthur H., who is still at home, and attending high school; and Dayton W., deceased. Mrs. Kresge was born November 17, 1850, in Ross township, Monroe county, daughter of Charles L. Frantz, a well-known farmer, and his wife Sallie.

J. H. VAN ETTEN. The Van Etten family traces its aneestry in this country to Jacob Janse (or Jansen), who prior to 1664 emigrated from Etten, in North Brabant Holland. eight miles west-south-west from Breda. A record in the

First Reformed Church in the city of Kingston, N. Y., states that on January 4, 1665, Jacob Jansen von Etten of Brabant, Holland, was married to Annetje Arianse von Amsterdam, widow ot Aert Peterson ; that on January 3, 1666, they had a son baptized to them, named Jan (or John), and that on the 25th day of March, 1668, they had a daug !:- ter baptized to them, named Sytie. In the banns, published December 25, 1664, he was described as a young man von Etten in Brabant. As was com- mon in those days, he assumed the name of his birthplace as his surname, affixing thereto the Dutch "von," meaning from, which was afterward anglieised to "van," and he thus acquired the name Van Etten. All of the Van Ettens in this country have descended from the above named Jacob Jan- sen von Etten, married in what is now the city . of Kingston, N. Y., January 4, 1665, as above stated. Following are the names and dates of bap- tism of the children born of this marriage: Jan, January 3, 1666; Sytie, March 25, 1668; Adriaen or Arie, June 26, 1670; Petronella, 1675; Pieter ; Heiltje, April 21, 1679; Emanuel, December 29, 1681 ; Tietje, February 24, 1684; Jacobus ( James ), May 2, 1686; Gessje, December 25, 1688.

The voyage from Herwijnen, Gelderland, being made in the good ship "Bunta Koe" ("Spotted Cow"). This family settled in Esopus township, Ulster county, which then embraced Kingston and Hurley, N. Y. The father died February 27. 1679, leaving a good estate to his heirs. Gov. Peter Stuyvesant, who gave the name to Wiltwyck, in August, 1664. ap- pointed him one of its three Schepens. He was an elder in the old Dutch Church of Kingston, and was a leading man in his community.

Jacob Van Etten (son of the above Jan and Jannetje Van Etten ) was born at Hurley. Ulster Co., N. Y., baptized December 25, 1696, and on April 22, 1719, married Antjen Westbrook, daugh- ter of Anthony Westbrook. He probably removed soon after to Morris county, N. J. In 1745 Will- iam Allen, of Philadelphia, conveyed to him a tract of land in Delaware township, then Bucks county, opposite Namanoch Island, in the Delaware river.

Johannes Van Etten, a son of Jacob, was born at Namanoch, N. J., in 1732, and died February 15, 1815. He married (first) Maria Gonzales and (second) Rachel Williams (who was the widow of Daniel Decker), who died May 2. 1812.

Moore. E. L. Aldrick, and William Van Cott, for disposing of milk at wholesale in the markets of New York and Philadelphia, the firm being since known as the New Milford Milk Co., and in 1893 he removed to the village, placing the active management of his farm in other hands. He has always been active in local affairs, being a stanch Republican in poli- tics, and he has held office as school director and poor commissioner.
