His boyhood and early manhood was spent in the vi- cinity of his birthplace, and in 1856 he came to Wilkes-Barre from Fogelville. He became identified with many of the enterprises and busi- ness interests of Wilkes-Barre, and was the own- er of much landed property. He had large tracts of farm land at Harvey's Lake, Luzerne county, and Clifton, and much of his time during his later years was devoted to his mining and farming interests. Being a man of wealth, the last few years of his life were spent in retire- ment. He was one of the early promoters in the Harvey's Lake trolley line, and built a portion of the road about Harvey's Lake, where his sum- mer home was located. He was also interested in the Harvey's Lake Transit Company, the North Street Bridge Company, and various oth- er enterprises which tended toward the improve- ment of Wilkes-Barre. He was a faithful mem- ber of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, charitable in marked degree, but without ostentation, a man of retiring disposition, who found his greatest pleasure at his own fireside.

Ephraim Troxell married, February 18, 1845, in Whitehall township, Pennsylvania, Caroline A. Fogel, daughter of Solomon and Anna (Stah- ler) Fogel, of Fogelsville, Lehigh county, Penn- sylvania, born Fogelsville, Pennsylvania, and died Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, August 4, 1901, a faithful communicant of St. Stephen's church.

Solomon Fogel, father of Carolina A. (Fogel) Troxell, was one of the prominent men of Lehigh county. He was one of the men who started the first Sunday school in the court house in Allentown, was always in- terested in educational affairs, was one of the first to establish English schools in the county, and in every way assisted in the growth and de- velopment of the community. He was one of the first stockholders of the Lehigh Valley Rail- road. The Catasauqua and Fogeisville Railroad was named in his honor, as it was through his efforts as a civil engineer that the railroad was possible, and it was also through his influence that the farmers were willing to sell their land for the railroad, many of them being greatly op- posed to the project.

LONGSHORE FAMILY. The Longshore family is of long residence in Pennsylvania, and has had among its members men of high ability in professional callings as well as in the ordinary avocations of life. The two of whom this narra- tive treats in principal part, Dr. Ashbel B. Long- shore, and Dr. William R. Longshore, who suc- ceeded his father, each in his day, was an accom- plished physician, and during their careers have probably given instruction in medicine to more students than any other four physicians in the Wyoming valley. They were also of high per- sonal character, and models of true manhood.

The founder of the family in Pennsylvania was Robert Longshore, who came from England and settled at Front and Market streets, in Phil- adelphia, whence he later removed to Bucks county. Another great-grandfather of Dr. Long- shore was one Wilson, a Protestant religionist from the north of Ireland, who came to America at the age of nineteen years. He first settled in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and later in Mont- gomery county, where he bought two large farms near the county line, the homestead residence being at Abington. The great-grandmother .. Sarah Boileau, was of French descent, and died at Beaver Meadows, Pennsylvania. Here also lived a great-uncle, William Wilson, who erected the first building there. The grandfather on the maternal side was a native of Germany, of the Richter ( subsequently spelled Righter) family. His grandfather Wilson was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary war, and his sword is now in the possession of Dr. W. R. Longshore.

Isaiah Longshore (grandfather) lived at Beach Haven, where he kept a hotel and board- ing house for workmen on the canal; he died at the age of forty-seven years, and was buried there. He married Nancy Wilson, who after the death of her husband lived in Hazleton, but died in Weatherly, at the venerable age of ninety- two years, from a fall in which she broke her hip : she was buried at Beaver Meadows. She and her husband were Presbyterians. Their chil- dren were three sons-A. B., Alfred R., and William R., Alfred having been a justice of the peace, and dying at the age of eighty-two years ; and three daughters-Mrs. James Lewis, Mrs. Philip Hofecker, and Mrs. Robert Russell.

A. B. Longshore was reared at Shickshinny,

and at the age of sixteen years went to Wilkes- Barre, and began as a clerk, later with Mr. Par- dce. in Hazelton, in the railway construction corps, the first railway into this region. He sub- sequently went to Berwick, where he clerked in a store for Abraham Miller, devoting his leisure hours to the study of medicine with A. B. Wilson, his uncle. He afterward attended lectures at the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, under some of the most eminent practitioners and pro- fessional teachers of the day ( Professors J. K. Mitchell, Joseph Pancoast, Charles Meigs and Thomas Mutter), and graduated from the insti- tution with honors in 1843. He was as fluent in German as in English, and the knowledge was invaluable to him. In the year of his graduation he entered upon practice in Wyoming, where his professional visitations extended all over the mountain region. It is of interest to note, as a sidelight upon the manner of living in that day, a large part of his compensation was in the nature of provisions and country produce. In the early fifties, at the solicitation of Mr. Pardee, he lo- cated in Hazelton, where his practice became so extensive that he called to his aid as assistants five young men who were receiving instruction from him. He remained in active practice until his death, in September, 1875, at the age of sixty- three years. He was a man of sterling character, and exerted a strong and salutary influence in the community, but the exactions of his profession forbade his acceptance of the various official posi- tions which were tendered him. He was a mem- ber of the Beaver Meadows militia company. His wife was Maria J. Righter, born in Washington, D. C., a daughter of William Righter, who was born at Mill Creek, near Bryn Mawr. Pennsyl- vania. She died at the age of seventy years. They were Baptists in religion. They had eight children, of whom Dr. William R. Longshore is the only one living.

William R. Longshore, M. D., son of Ash- bel B. and Maria J. (Righter) Longshore, was born in Beaver Meadows, Pennsylvania, September 10, 1838. His early years were passed at the family home, and he was fourteen years of age when his parents removed to Hazle- ton. He began his education in the common schools, and received what was nearly equiva- lent to a collegiate training in Kingston Sem- inary and Lewisburg (now Bucknell) Univer- sity. He had the great advantage of beginning his medical studies with his father as his tutor, and he subsequently attended the Jefferson Medi- cal College and the Pennsylvania College of

Medicine, graduating from the last named insti- tution in March, 1800. He became assistant to Dr. Kirkbride in the male department of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, and was thus engaged until the autumn of 1862.

At that time, after passing the required ex- amination held by the medical examining board of the United States army, he was commis- sioned assistant surgeon with rank of first lieu- tenant, in the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, Colonel Par- dee, which was a part of the First Brigade, Geary's Second Division, Twelfth Army Corps. In September, 1863, he accompanied his com- mand to the west, and in October, 1863, was pro- moted to surgeon, with rank of major. With the Twentieth Corps (the and Eleventh Twelfth Corps consolidated) he took part in all the operations under General Slocum in the Wauhatchie Valley, including the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. While encamped in the Wauhatchie Valley, Major Longshore participated in all the hardships that marked the dreadful winter of 1863-4. Owing to the repeated tearing-up of the railroad by the enemy, supplies had been cut off, and the sub- sistence for both animals and men was so nearly exhausted that not enough was available to keep them from suffering with hunger. For horses and mules there was served only a double hand- ful of corn to last for three days, and the sol- diers, driven to extremity, habitually stole the corn from the famished animals. As surgeon, Major Longshore was empowered to make requisition upon the commissary department for subsistence stores for the sick. Moved by the necessities of the men who appealed to him for food, his humanity would not suffer him to draw an arbitrary line between those suffering from a pronounced ailment and those who were starving to death, and he exercised his authority in their behalf, until superior officers absolutely deprived him of the power. Notwithstanding his opportunity, he shared hunger with the com- mon soldiers, to such an extent that, when the army set out on the march to Bridgeport, Ala- bama, and a ration was distributed consisting of about a mouthful of army biscuit and an equal bulk of bacon, it seemed to him to be one of the sweetest meals he had ever eaten. At Bridge- port, where the army went into winter quarters, Surgeon Longshore was in charge of the brigade hospital, until May 1, 1864. With his com- mand he participated in the operations against Atlanta, acting as brigade surgeon. and after the capture of that stronghold served in the same

capacity in Sherman's march to the sea, and the campaign of the Carolinas. At Goldsboro, North Carolina, he was granted leave of absence , to visit home in company with General Pardee. While in Philadelphia on the trip home, a negro porter at his hotel informed him of the assassin- ation of President Lincoln, and the dreadful in- telligence came with a terrible shock which was intensified as he recalled the fact that a little more than four years before he had seen that great statesman raise the Flag of the Union over In- dependence Hall. in Philadelphia, while he was passing through the city to his inauguration.

Arrived at Hazleton, Surgeon Longshore was married, April 25, 1865, to Miss Matilda A. Carter, daughter of William and Margaret (Thomas) Carter, and one of seven children. Her father was a prominent coal operator in .Stockton and Beaver Meadows ; her mother died at the age of forty-eight years. Surgeon Long- shore rejoined the army on May 7, and took part in the Grand Review in Washington, just be- fore the disbanding of the Union armies, and was mustered out of service in July following. Dr. Longshore then permanently located in Haz- elton, where he has since been engaged in the practice of his profession. How active and use- ful has been his service is evidenced by the fact that during these forty-six years past he has practically been busy day and night, for twelve years, at one time having only two days vaca- tion, and in one year there was not a night when he was not called out. While caring for a large practice at and in the neighborhood of his home. he has long been in the service of the state in connection with its National Guard. March 5. 1874. he was commissioned surgeon of the old Ninth Regiment, N. G. P., and served with it during the coal region riots of that year, and until it was disbanded. In June, 1890, he was commissioned surgeon of the Ninth Regiment Infantry, N. G. P., in which he served until the breaking out of the Spanish- American war, when he retired. Throughout all his arduous service in the line of his profes- sion, civil and military, now in his sixty-seventh .year, he has fully preserved his physical and mental powers, and continues steadfast in his de- votion to his calling, in which he expects to con- tinue to his latest days. He is held in high es- teem as the oldest practicing physician in Lu- zerne county, and is one of the most prominent and influential members of the leading medical associations-the Carbon County, the Luzerne County, the Lehigh Valley, the National, and Pennsylvania State-and has been president of

nearly all except the last named. He is affiliated with various bodies of the Masonic fraternity- Hazleton Lodge, No. 3271, F. and A. M. ; Hazle- ton Chapter, R. A. M .; Mt. Moriah Council, R. S. M., of Bloomsburg; and Mt. Vernon Com- mandery, Knights Templar. He is a companion of the Pennsylvania Commandery of the Mili- tary Order of the Loyal Legion, and a mem- ber of Robinson Post, No. 20, G. A. R., of which he was for several years surgeon: also the Union League of Philadelphia. In politics he has always been an ardent Republican, having cast his first presidential vote for Abraham Lin- coln, and holding loyal to his party to the pres- ent time.

Dr. and Mrs. Longshore were the parents of one child, Harry Carter Longshore, who died at the age of fourteen years. Dr. and Mrs. Long- shore adopted a daughter, Jane Martin, who married Wallace Ellerslie Engle, and to them was born a son, William Longshore Engle, who resides in Hazleton. Mrs. Longshore died Jan- uary 4. 1891. H. E. H.

GEORGE SIVELY PFOUTS, deceased, born March 5, 1842, on the old homestead in Hanover township, Luzerne county, Pennsyl- vania, was the only child of Hon. Benjamin F. and Mary F. (Sively) Pfouts, and on the pater- nal side grandchild of Leonard and Mercy ( Con- over) Pfouts, and on the maternal side of George and Frances (Stewart) Sively. Leonard Pfouts, who was of German descent, and his wife, Mercy (Conover) Pfouts (whose father was a scout in the Revolutionary war, was taken prisoner by the Indians, and held by them for a time in cap- tivity), reared a family of nine children : Mary, ( Mrs. Joseph Barnes) : Lucretia (Mrs. Leonard Elder) ; Benjamin F., see below ; Mary A., (Mrs. Joseph Bailey) : Sarah (Mrs. Jonathan Pursell) ; Robert; Isabella (Mrs. Daniel Lat- chaw) : Lucinda (Mrs. William Lemon) ; and John. Those children are now ( 1905) all dead. Hon. Benjamin F. Pfouts, father of George S. Pfouts, was born in Jersey Shore, Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, in 1809, and died at his residence in Buttonwood, Hanover township. January 6, 1894. He remained at home until he was seventeen years old, and then went to Tioga county, Pennsylvania, and later to Northumber- land county, same state, where he was deputy sheriff, and in 1841 removed to Hanover town- ship, where he engaged in farming on the Sively homestead. He was a man of the most sterling character, and a strong advocate of the principles of the Democratic party. He held nearly all the
