Martin Allen Thomas (father) was one of four children, namely : Lewis Samuel, a resident of Lycoming county; Mary Jane (deceased) ; George Christ, a farmer and resident of Lycom- ing county ; and Martin Allen. Early in life he learned the shoemaker's trade, but later engaged in the lumber business in Williamsport, in which he was very successful. He was an ardent Re- publican in his political proclivities, and in church connections a Methodist. When he was twenty- eight years of age he married Mary Katherine Weaver, of Allentown, a daughter of Charles Weaver, and one of nine children, viz. : Benjamin, Valentine, deceased : Charles, Edward, Linda, re- sides in Williamsport : Emma, Frank, Anne, de- ceased : and Mary. The following named chil- dren were born to Martin Allen and Mary Kath- . erine (Weaver) Thomas : Benjamin, born 1863. a machinist by trade. Charles Irvin, mentioned hereinafter.

Charles Irvin Thomas, second son and child . of Martin A. and Mary K. (Weaver) Thomas, obtained his initial education in the public schools of Williamsport, and later took a two years' course in Woods' Commercial College, at Will- iamsport, thereby laying an excellent foundation for a future business career. At the age of four- teen years he commenced upon an independent career, engaging in work with the Williamsport Planing Mill Company, continuing there for five years. He then turned his attention to the learn- ing of the wood-turning trade under Edward Gundrum, of Williamsport, being thus engaged for four years, when he removed to Wilkes-Barre, and was for fourteen years thereafter associated with Conrad Lee as foreman in charge of the wood-turning, scroll work and stair work depart- ment. Deciding to become a contractor, Mr.

Thomas entered the employ of the firm of Pethick & Curtis, Wilkes-Barre, retaining this connection for one year. He then formed a partnership with Joseph Schuler, and established a general and fancy wood work business. Their establishment is located on Hazel avenue, Wilkes-Barre, and the business has been very successful from the outset. In politics Mr. Thomas affiliates with the Republican party, and is deeply interested in all local affairs. In religious faith he is a member of the Memorial Presbyterian Church.

The following named children were the issue of this marriage: Mabel, Charles, Oda, Blanche, Bertha, Katherine and Theodore.

DANIEL L. HART, the well-known dram- atist, playwright and author, whose writings have always been eagerly welcomed by the public, is a member of a family that is able to boast of more than one person of note in literary, profes- sional and educational lines.

Owen Hart, the great-grandfather of Daniel Hart, was born in Ireland and died there, having never left his native soil. He married Molly Kane, who was also a native of Ireland, and they had seven children: 1. Patrick, of whom further mention is made : 2. Thomas ; 3. John : 4. Bridget, who came to New York before 1848 and married Dr. Sweeny, of that city. 5. Katie, who came to New York with her sister Bridget, and married James Hamilton. 6. Donnie. 7. Nellie.

Patrick Hart, son of Owen and Molly ( Kane) Hart, was born in October, 1798, in the county of Sligo, Ireland, and died there May 10, 1825. He was a very successful man, noted for his fine horsemanship, and a fine specimen of the coun- try gentleman of that time. He married, in Sligo, Mary Gilligan, born June 23. 1800, in the shadow of Notman Ray, Sligo, Ireland. She was the daughter of John and Caroline Gilligan, and was renowned in that section of Ireland for her model housekeeping. She died in Wilkes-Barre, Penn- sylvania, January 7, 1893. Patrick and Mary (Gilligan) Hart were the parents of two chil- dren : Ellen, born May 17, 1823, who spent her entire life in the land of her birth, and died in 1848: and John Hart, the father of the subject of this sketch.

gan) Hart, was born February 16, 1825, in the county of Sligo, Ireland. He received his early education in the common schools of that town. and proved himself an apt scholar, with a very retentive memory. For some years he followed in his father's footsteps as a farmer, and was a very successful one. But his restless enterprise was not content with old world methods, and he determined to emigrate to America. This idea he carried out, and on June 1, 1848, he landed in the city of New York, but wasted no time there, starting at once for Wilkes-Barre, by way of Easton. Travel at that time was accomplished by stage coach, and was slow and laborious work. It took many days to travel over the mountains, but when he once reached Wilkes-Barre he set- tled there, and has ever since made it his home. He thought it a good plan to learn all the details of a business from the very lowest step, and so accepted a position as a laborer in the coal fields of the Lehigh and Susquehanna Coal Company. He worked there for some time and then went to the Blackman Coal Company, now known as the Franklin mine, and when they began to introduce machinery he paid the closest attention to all its workings, realizing that such knowledge would be a prime factor in assisting him to rise. He studied the method of running an engine to such good effect that in 1853 he was given charge of the first engine that was ever operated in the Wyoming Valley, to haul the coal out of the mines. He remained here for a number of years, and then accepted a position in the shops. He worked continuously for thirty-seven years, and is now living in retirement. His residence is one of the show places of the city, and here he lives with his wife and several of his children.

Mr. Hart married, July 26, 1852, Mary Mc- Donald, born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Oc- tober 12, 1833, daughter of Patrick and Eliza- beth (Edwards) McDonald, the latter a daugh- ter of Joseph and Elizabeth ( Rice) Edwards.

Patrick and Elizabeth (Edwards) McDonald, both now deceased, had thirteen children: I. Elizabeth, married John Batterton. (See sketch elsewhere.) 2. James, deceased, who married Anna Ryan. 3. Mary, married John Hart, as above. 4. Margaret, married Peter Clark, of Wilkes-Barre. 5. Ann, married D. L. O'Niel, of Wilkes-Barre. 6. Ellen, married P. F. Lynch, of Wilkes-Barre. 7. Joseph, married Josephine Ryan and they .reside in Freeland, Pennsylvania. 8. Fanny, married P. H. Campbell. of Wilkes- Barre. 9. Lucy, married Patrick McGreevy, of Wilkes-Barre. 10. John (deceased), married El-

len Mooney, of Freeland, Pennsylvania. II. Net- tie, married Attorney Michael Cannon, of Wilkes-Barre. 12. William, married Mary Creig, of Pittston, Pennsylvania. 13. Charles, married Anna Cassedy, of Wilkes-Barre.

John and Mary ( McDonald) Hart were the parents of eight children, six of whom are now living: 1. James, born June 28, 1853, was edu- cated in the common schools and learned the trade of an engineer, which he has followed for thirty years. 2. Michael, born October 10, 1855, was educated in the common schools and is now an engineer in Ashley: hc married Mary A. Cawley; of Dunmore, Pennsylvania, and they have four children. 3. John, born September 19, 1858, was well edu- cated and accepted a position as teacher in the school, and taught there for a number of years. He died November 14, 1899, at the age of forty- one years. He was greatly beloved by all who knew him and at his death was mourned by a large circle of friends. 4. Joseph, born August 15, 1860, was educated in the common schools and then took a course in pharmacy. He followed up his profession, being at present engaged in the drug business with his brother Thomas, in Wilkes-Barre, where they are very successful. 5. Thomas, born August 15, 1863, educated in the common schools, and took a course in phar- macy, then entered into business with his brother Joseph, in Wilkes-Barre, and still continues the same. 6. Daniel, of whom further mention is made. 7. Mary, born July 5, 1874, a very bright child and the pride of the house, died April 10, 1878, at the age of four years. 8. Gertrude, born Wilkes-Barre; she was educated in St. Mary's and the Mallincradt convents, is a very talented young woman and a writer of great promise. She has attended many conventions with her brother Daniel, the most recent being the conven- tion of the United Press Clubs of America, held at Detroit, Michigan, July 15, 1905.

Daniel L. Hart, son of John and Mary ( Mc- Donald) Hart, was born December 29, 1866, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in the house in which he now resides. He was educated in the common schools of that city, and at Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pennsylvania. From his earliest years he showed a decided leaning toward the field of letters, being always occupied with his pen. He graduated from Wyoming Sem- inary in 1886 with honor. In 1886 he com- menced to write for publication, and since then he has never been out of the public mind and eye. He has a facile and flowing style, and thoroughly

understands how to gain and hold the attention of his readers. He has been principally engaged in writing plays, many of which have gained for him a world-wide reputation. The first of his plays which was ever staged, entitled "Which," was produced in the city of his birth, and was received with enthusiasm and was an immediate success. He then wrote "The Footman," "Be- tween Men," "Underground," "A Daughter of Dixie," "O'Neil," "Washington, D. C.," at short intervals, each in its turn seeming to add to his popularity. Mr. Hart's "Government Except- ance" and a dramatization of Opie Reid's "Jucklins" was a pronounced success. Soon after this he wrote his world famous "Parish Priest," in which the great Daniel Sully made his greatest hit and became famous. Mr. Hart's pen is never at rest. Among his other later popular writings may be mentioned "Australia," "At Old Point Comfort," "Marching Through Georgia." and, his latest though not by any means his least success, "A Rocky Road to Dublin," which was also staged in 1905 in New York, and attained popularity at once. Mr. Hart is a man of great force of character and personal magnetism, and it is owing to these qualities, which he has the knack of infusing into all he does, that, no doubt his success is in a great measure dne. He is a a polished orator, one of the best after-dinner speakers of the time, and is frequently called upon to respond to many toasts at social gatherings. He always upholds the city in which he was born and has always resided, and no one has done more to promote its welfare than has Daniel L. Hart. As Mr. Hart is still a young man, and has been steadily climbing higher since his first appearance before the public, we may undoubtedly expect still greater things from him in the future than he has given us in the past. On February 20. 1906, he was elected city treasurer of the city of Wilkes- Barre.

WILLIAM JESSE WILDE. Among the well-known business and railroad men of Hazle- ton, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, may be men- tioned the name of William Jesse Wilde, who is considered a valuable and public-spirited citizen of that town.

William Jesse Wilde, son of Joseph and Eliza- beth (Beck) Wilde, (See sketch of Beck and Wilde families) was born at Cresona, Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, December 24, 1847. The first year of his life was passed in his native town, and his parents then removed to Newcastle, in

the same county and resided there for nine years. The family then removed to Broad Mountain, Pennsylvania, where they remained for five years, and then came to Hazleton. William Jesse re- ceived his earliest education in the public schools of Newcastle, and later attended those at Broad Mountain. At this time he commenced to assist his father by driving a team, hauling timber, etc. At the age of eighteen years he entered the em- ploy of A. Pardee & Company, of Hazleton, to learn the trade of machinist. He served an ap- prenticeship of three years with them, under the tutelage of Mr. David Clark, master mechanic, and continued in their employ for six months after the term of his apprenticeship had expired. He then went to Chicago, obtaining a position with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail- road as machinist : here he remained one year, and then returned to Hazleton for about nine service of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, working for them in Hazleton for about nine months, and then going for them to Delano, Penn- sylvania, where he remained for eight years. During the last two years of this period he served as foreman. He again returned to Hazleton and obtained employment in the shops of that com- pany, remaining there for one year. He then went on the road for them as fireman, a position he held creditably for two years. He was pro- moted to the position of engineer on passenger trains running on various divisions, and retained that position until 1895. when he returned to Hazleton and established himself in the coal and ice business. In this he is engaged up to the present time (1906). He is a member of the Presbyterian Church, as is also his wife. His political affiliations are Republican, and he was a member of the council in 1902-3. He has been a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers for about four years, and of the Royal Arcanum about twenty years.

Christian and Susan (Pauff) Gruver were among the first settlers in the valley, and were of Revolutionary ancestry. They settled on the heights where Christian operated a farm, and their residence (an old log farmhouse) was situ- ated at what is now the corner of Sherman and East Market streets, where Ziba Gruver was born. Christian Gruver owned all the land above Sherman street, most of which was under culti- vation.

Ziba Gruver was educated in the public schools and worked on the farm, continuing this occupation until after the death of his parents, when the land was divided into lots and sold, the section formerly occupied by the farm now be- ing built up with residences and stores. He later engaged in the teaming business and also per- formed considerable contract work for the Le- high & Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. About 1899 he retired from active pursuits, and from that time until his death enjoyed the fruits of an active and well-spent life. He represented the sixth ward in council for three successive terms -nine years-under Charles H. Parrish, presi- dent of councils, and prior to that time was a member of the school board for fifteen succes- sive years. He led an exemplary life, was highly respected for his many noble characteristics, and his death was lamented by all who knew him.

He was educated in the public schools, and first began work in the mines as a helper when sixteen years of age, continuing as such until twenty years old when he entered the Hazard rope works of Wilkes-Barre, and after continuing in their em- ploy for some time was made foreman, which position he has held for several years.
