(II) George Elmer Woodruff, son of Jemuel and Julia Ann (Oatman) Woodruff, was born in Rochester, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, in 1842. His business has been, in the main, lumber dealing, at which he has been successful and in which he has prospered. A Presbyterian in religion, his political faith has ever been Republican, while fraternally he affiliates with the Modern Woodmen of the World, and the Masonic Order, belonging to Rochester Lodge, No. 229, Free and Accepted Masons. He married Savilla, deceased, daughter of Henry and Sarah (Gilchrist) Wolf. Henry Wolf was born in York county, Pennsylvania, of which county his parents were also natives, and as a young man moved to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, entering the hotel business, and at the death of his father-in-law engaged in the management of the hotel that comprised part of the estate. His later career took him to many widely separated localities, and at the time of his retirement he was engaged in business at Petersburg, Ohio, spending the latter years of his life in East Palestine, Ohio, where his death occurred about 1882, his wife dying in that place in 1906. Both were members of the Presbyterian Church, while he was a member of the Masonic Order, and a Republican in politics. Children of Henry and Sarah (Gilchrist) Wolf: I. David, a hotel proprietor, died in East Palestine, Ohio. 2. Mary, married Louis Reed, and died in March, 1913, at Mckeesport, Pennsylvania. 3.

(III) Frank Woodruff, only son of George Elmer and Savilla (Wolf) Woodruff, was born in Rochester, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, November 7, 1865. After a public school education in the institutions of his birth- place, he obtained a position with the Rochester Tumbler Company, his association with that concern extending over a period of eighteen years. He passed the next three years in the employ of the Rochester Glass Com- pany, now transacting business as the H. C. Fry Company, and the follow- ing year with the Libbey Glass Company of Toledo, Ohio. For two years he was president of the Woodruff Glass Mould Company, of Toledo, Ohio, after which he became sole owner of the Mould and Machine Company of Rochester, Pennsylvania. This business was established in 1906, and con- sists of the manufacture of experimental machinery, the force of employees varying from fifteen to thirty. Since Mr. Woodruff's connection with the concern its scope of operation has been widened, its equipment im-

proved, and its activities increased, so that at the present time he is the proprietor of a plant that yields a comfortable income, its prosperity and thriving condition resulting from the earnest labor he has expended upon his business. Mr. Woodruff holds independent political views.
Mr. Woodruff married, December 1, 1892, May Menuez, born in Fredericksburg, Wayne county, Ohio, July 16, 1871, daughter of Theodore and Elizabeth (First) Menuez, her father deceased, her mother a resident of Wayne county, Ohio.

HOTCHKISS The Hotchkiss family came to this country from Scot- land, and while but a few generations have lived here, they have been recognized as citizens of sterling worth, ever ready to bear their full share of the responsibilities which came to them. In Scotland all the male members of the family were engaged in the occupation of coal mining, and they were all members of the Presby- terian Church. Of the generation we have first on record we know there were the following : Edward, a coal miner, emigrated to the United States but later returned to England, where he died; John, who lived and died in Scotland, was the proprietor of a hotel in Glasgow; Michael, a coal miner in his youth, proprietor of a hotel subsequently, came to the United States, but returned to England where he died; Joseph, see forward; Ellen, who died in Scotland, married John Hodgett, who died in New York City.
(II) Joseph Hotchkiss, of the second generation of this family, was born eight miles from Glasgow, Scotland, in 1810, died October 24, 1872. He was a coal miner all his life, at first in his native land, later in America. In Scotland he held the position of foreman or mine boss. Both of his marriages took place in Scotland. He married (first) Mary Love, (second) Mary Cranston, born in England, where her parents were visiting, April 24, 1828, died March 22, 1908. She was the niece of James Moffit, a Reformed Presbyterian minister, and daughter of James and Jennie (Mof- fit) Cranston, who had two other children: Jane, who married Thomas Sherry, a coal miner, and came to East Palestine, Ohio; John, during the Civil War enlisted at Peoria, Illinois, and was never heard from again. Joseph and Mary (Cranston) Hotchkiss had children: Janet, who mar- ried John Huffman, now deceased, is living on a farm in Darlington town- ship; Edward, a coal miner and lives with his sister, Mrs. Huffman; Jennie, now deceased, married Finlay Rhodes; John, a coal miner, lives in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania; James, lives in Pittsburgh, where he has been baggage master for twenty years at the Union Station; Joseph, a prosperous business man, proprietor of a hardware store at Dillonville, Ohio; Michael, see forward. By his marriage with his first wife Mr. Hotchkiss had children: James, who was injured in the mines, died at
640
PENNSYLVANIA
the age of eighteen years; John and Edward, died young; William, who emigrated with his father, is a coal miner, and lives with his step-brother, Michael. Joseph Hotchkiss, a few years after his second marriage, emi- grated to the United States, and settled at Cannelton, Beaver county, Penn- sylvania, where his death occurred.
(III) Michael Hotchkiss, son of Joseph and Mary (Cranston) Hotch- kiss, was born in Darlington township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, April 5, 1868. He was about four years of age at the time of the death of his father, which left his mother with a large family of small children and no means of supporting them. All of the children were obliged to help support the family to the best of their ability, as they were very poor, and they have all risen to very comfortable financial circumstances. Michael at- tended the public school at Cannelton for a short time, but from his earliest years was obliged to devote all his spare time to work. He was a helper in a blacksmith shop and worked on nearby farms. Mrs. Hotchkiss then pur- chased forty-three acres of land from the Economites in Darlington town- ship, and Michael devoted all of his time to the cultivation of this farm, which he developed into a fine piece of property. Upon the death of his mother, he purchased the interests of the other heirs, and still lives on it. Later he purchased another farm of one hundred and fifty-nine acres, adjoining the first, and is very successful in his farming operations. He makes a specialty of fruit growing, devoting especial time and attention to the production of peaches and apples. He has set out approximately three thousand trees, which are all now in fine bearing condition. His political affiliations are with the Republican party. Mr. Hotchkiss is un- married.
The name and the family of Beatty seems to have had its BEATTY origin in the northern lowlands of Scotland. It extended to the north of Ireland, in a more limited degree to England, and has finally spread to all parts of the world to which these countries have sent out emigrants. The name is supposed to have been derived from the Latin, Beatus, which has also made Beaton. But the name of the Cardinal seems not to have been popular among the Scotch Reformers- and Beate was preferred-which after softening the final letter into "ie" and sometimes duplicating the middle consonant, gave either Beatie or Beattie-the usual spelling in Scotland. In migrating to the other island it has changed the termination into "y," so that commonly the Irish has the spelling Beaty, or more frequently Beatty. In going into the southern kingdom another change took place, by eliminating the first "e" in the name, so that it became either Baty, Batty or Batey. Such are some of the vari- ations of a single common name, and by the spelling it may be generally known whether the family comes from Scotland, Ireland or England.
(I) The introduction of the Pennsylvania branch of the family into the western part of the state was made by Jonathan Beatty and two
641
BEAVER COUNTY
brothers, who settled on farms in Big Beaver township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, and there reared large families. Jonathan Beatty married Margaret McClure, a native of Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, whence they came to Beaver county, and had children.
(II) William Beatty, son of Jonathan and Margaret (McClure) Beatty, was born in Big Beaver township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, January 2, 1832, died in the same county, February 2, 1890. He grew to maturity in the place of his birth, as a lad attending the public schools, and in young manhood assisting his father upon the home farm. At the death of his father he inherited eighty acres of the homestead, land now cultivated by his son, William George Beatty, later purchasing the Mc- Clure farm of one hundred and forty-five acres, upon which Frank L. Huffman now lives. He afterward sold this farm and purchased the property that had been his inheritance, adding thereto eighty acres ad- joining. He built the house and barn that are used at the present time by his son. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, in which his wife still holds membership, and with her was a familiar figure at its services. The Republican party had no stronger supporter or more ardent sympathizer in that locality than Mr. Beatty, and with vote and influence he sought to further its best interests. He discharged the duties of good citizenship with scrupulous care, and was held in excellent repute by all who were acquainted with his many amiable qualities.
He married Sidney Baker, born in Big Beaver township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, February 16, 1833, who survives him, aged eighty years, living with her son, William George. Their marriage rites were solem- nized April 22, 1852. Sidney Baker was the daughter of Richard and Catharine (Thompson) Baker. Richard Baker was born in Pennsylvania in 1799, died in Beaver county, in that state, December 2, 1882. He was one of the early settlers of Beaver county and owned a farm near Hoytdale. He was a Democrat in politics and played a prominent part in affairs of local moment. His wife was born in Pennsylvania, in 1807, died in Beaver county, October 9, 1884. Richard Baker was a son of Robert Baker, a native of Ireland, who came early to Big Beaver township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania. With his wife, Rachel (Williams) Baker, he is buried in Rocky Spring Cemetery, near New Galilee. Richard and Cath- arine (Thompson) Baker were the parents of twenty children, of whom five died in infancy. Those who attained maturity were: 1. James, fought in the Union army during the Civil War, was taken prisoner, and died in Andersonville Prison. 2. William, a farmer, died in Big Beaver township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania. 3. Saphrona, died unmarried, probably in Michigan. 4. Lorenzo, a soldier in the Union army, died from wounds received in battle. 5. Sidney, of previous mention, married William Beatty. 6. John, a resident of Iowa. 7. Robert, killed in battle in the Civil War. 8. Thompson, a veteran of the Civil War, lives in Nebraska. 9. Sarah, married Benjamin James, and lived until her death in Beaver

county, Pennsylvania. 10. Mary Ann, married Fred Straley, and lives at Hoytdale, Pennsylvania. 11. Nancy Jane, married Tolbert Swoggers, and lives near Wampum, Pennsylvania. 12. Rachel, married George Minner, and lives at Wampum, Pennsylvania. 13. Matilda, married Walter Craig, deceased, and lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 14. Catharine, married Robert Mills, and resides in Nebraska. 15. Wesley, a resident of Nebraska. Children of William and Sidney (Baker) Beatty: I. Alice P., married George Tarris, deceased, and lives in West Virginia. 2. Laura Emma, died in 1888; married Robert Newell, likewise deceased. 3. John F., lived for a time on the old homestead, entered the employ of the railroad and met his death in that service. 4. James R., a farmer of Warren, Ohio. 5. William George, of whom further. 6. Mary L., married Isaac Cox, and lives in Homewood, Pennsylvania. William and Sidney Beatty were also the parents of three other children, all of whom died in infancy.
(III) William George Beatty, fifth child and third son of William and Sidney (Baker) Beatty, was born on the homestead farm in Big Beaver township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, June 15, 1867. He attended the public schools and completed his education with a business course in the International Correspondence Schools of Scranton. His first position was as time-keeper for the Clydesdale Stone Company, in which capacity he served for four years. In 1906 he became inspector of material for Arthur Koppel Company, a position he still holds. In connection with his business he conducts general farming operations upon fifty acres of the home farm, having inherited a part of the homestead at his father's death. He is a Republican in politics and has been placed by his neighbors in nearly every department of township service, filling all with a thoroughness and reliability that fully justified the repeated choice of his friends and acquaintances.
Mr. Beatty married, September 4, 1889, Olive L., daughter of John and Emeline McCarter, member of a family long seated in that locality. Children of William George and Olive L. Beatty: Elsie May, George Curtis, Clement Byron. The family are Presbyterians.
Samuel Harper emigrated from Scotland to America, with HARPER his wife and family, in 1754. There are some grounds for thinking that they at first settled at what is now Harper's Ferry, Virginia. For many years prior to his death he lived on a farm in Hopewell township, York county, Pennsylvania, within the bounds of the Associate Presbyterian congregation of Guinston, in which he was a ruling elder until he died. He married, in Scotland, Jane Strang, and had children : 1. James, who married but the name of his wife is not on record; he removed to Zanesville, Ohio, and some of his descendants were living there in 1854. 2: Samuel Jr., see forward. 3. Jane, married Archibald Richmond, and had three sons and one daughter; the names of two of the sons are not on record; of the other children: John married

(II) Samuel (2) Harper, son of Samuel (1) and Jane (Strang) Harper, died at Kings Creek, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, February 25, 1814, while in middle life. He resided in York county, Pennsylvania, for eighteen years after his marriage, then removed with his wife and eight children to Western Pennsylvania, settling in Hanover township, Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1798. He purchased Judge Redick's mill on Big Travis Creek, Hanover township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania. After his removal from Washington, York county, Pennsylvania, he and his wife and children united with the Associate Presbyterian Church of Kings Creek, then under the pastoral care of Rev. John Anderson, D.D., and Mr. Harper was shortly afterwards elected a ruling elder, an office he filled faithfully until his death. This was caused by "camp fever," and he was interred in the "Old Kings Creek Cemetery." His wife died of the same disease eleven days later and was buried in her husband's grave, their tombstone being inscribed "They were lovely in their lives, and in death they were not divided."
