ASHTON C. BORHEK. The family of which Ashton C. Borhek was a representative was founded in America by John Andreas Bor- hek, who was a weaver of Gottingen, Prussia, and came to the new world with a band of Mor- avians during the Revolutionary War. He married at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Anna Maria (Fisch- el) Borhek, who was born in 1743 and died in 1807, while John Andreas Borhek, who was born in 1728, died May 14, 1791.
Christian Frederick Borhek, son of John An- dreas and Anna Maria Borhek, married Anna Catherine Kindig, who was born May 4, 1780, a daughter of Andrew Kindig, of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and died August 14, 1808. By his first wife, Christian Frederick Borhek had two children : Clementine S., born in 1806, and James T., born in 1808. By his second wife, Mary Luckenbach, he had the following children : Fred- erick R., who married Harriet Hunsicker, and had children : Helen, who was born January 10, 1810, and became the wife of August Belling, and the mother of a large family; Emily Amelia, who was born January 8, 1813, and became the wife of Fred Hoffman, by whom she had a son, Fred- erick ; and Lindora, the wife of Abraham Grosh, by whom she had one daughter, Mary L.
James T. Borhek, the eldest son of Christian Frederick Borhek, was born January 6, 1808, at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he was reared
and educated, attending a Moravian school. At an early age he was apprenticed to Christian Luckenbach, with whom he learned the trade of a locksmith and tinsmith. On attaining his major- ity he went to Philadelphia to learn the trade of a coppersmith, and upon his return to Bethlehem he gave his attention to the manufacture of hats, buying the business of C. A. Luckenbach. At that time this was the only industry of the kind on eastern Pennsylvania, and in his establishment silk hats were first manufactured in America out- side of Philadelphia. In 1849 he again changed his occupation, becoming a lumber and coal mer- chant and establishing the firm of Borhek & Knausss. After the death of his partner he carried on the business alone for.a number of years, and then sold out in 1860 to his son, Ashton G. Borhek, and L. A. Miksch, who in connection with the lumber and coal trade conducted a gen- eral merchandising establishment. This, however, was destroyed in the great freshet in 1862.
For a number of years James T. Borhek filled the office of justice of the peace, and also served for two terms as school director. While filling the former position he was largely instrumental on various occasions in keeping litigation out of the courts, inducing contestants to settle their differences without recourse to the law, and whether in or out of office his advice and his judg- ment were ever strictly impartial, and his rulings extremely free from personal prejudice or bias. He became a charter member of Keystone Lodge, I. O. O. F., and was the secretary of the Bethle- hem Gas Company from its organization until his death, which occurred July 24, 1888.
James T. Borhek was married, July 5, 1830, to Marietta Charlotte Brunner, and to them were born seven children : Albert and Robert, who died in childhood; Ashton C .; Morris A., born Oc- tober 9, 1842; Louisa Catherine, who was born February 14, 1840, and died in childhood; James T., born October 16, 1844; and Henry G., who was born March 13, 1848, and died October 18, 1889. Of this family Morris A. Bor- hek married Emma Stadiger, and to them was born a son, Herman S., whose birth occurred April 15, 1869, and who married Addie Thayer.

For some years he served as notary public. Long holding membership in the Moravian church, he took a very active and helpful part in its work, and filled many of its offices in a most acceptable manner. Kindly and benevolent, he was ever ready to extend a helping hand to those in need of assistance, and his generous disposition, his friendly spirit and his fidelity to all that was hon- orable in the relations between man and man, made him one of the respected and esteemed citi- zens of his community. Frequently his advice was sought on matters of business, for those who knew him had firm faith in his judgment, and re- garded him as a man of the utmost reliability.

Cornelius William, tenth child and eighth son of John and Elizabeth (Beitel) Krause, was born at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, July 15, 1837. He was baptized in the Moravian church, which had been the faith of his fathers for many generations, by Rev. J. H. Herman.

CHARLES C. EDWARDS, who for twenty- eight years has engaged in merchandising in Lans- ford, Pennsylvania, was born in South Wales on the 15th of March, 1843. His parents were Charles and Harriet Edwards, who crossed the Atlantic to America about 1851, establishing their home in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where they re- mained for two years. They then removed to Stockton, where the succeeding eight years were passed, and finally took up their abode in Jeddo, Pennsylvania, where they dwelt until they depart- ed this life. Charles Edwards was a miner, and was employed in that labor both in his native country and in America. The family numbered nine children, five of whom are living, namely : John, a retired merchant ; Charles C., Jane, Eliza- beth and Joseph.
During his residence in Scranton, Pennsyl- vania, Charles C. Edwards acquired a part of his education. It was while he was living there in 185 I that he saw the first engine that ran through that city on the Delaware, Lackawanna & West- ern Railroad. At Stockton he completed his edu- cation and became a miner. In 1866 he went to California, where he also engaged in mining, but remained on the Pacific coast for only two years, returning on the expiration of that period to the home of his parents, who in the meantime had removed to Jeddo. There Mr. Edwards remained until 1875, when he came to Lansford, where he has since resided. He immediately entered into merchandising in company with his brother, John C. Edwards, and this partnership was continued for six years, since which time Charles C. Ed- wards has been alone in the conduct of his general mercantile enterprise. His reliable business meth- ods, straightforward dealing and earnest desire to please have secured to him a very liberal pat- ronage, and his business has long since reached profitable and gratifying proportions.
When the Civil war was inaugurated and the Union was threatened by the secession in the south, Mr. Edwards offered his aid as a defender of the country, and enlisted in Company N, Twenty-eighth Regiment of Pennsylvania Vol- unteer Infantry, August 19, 1861. He took part in the battles of Ball's Bluff, Culpeper Court House, Cedar Mountain, Rapidan Station, second Bull Run, and Antietam, where he was wounded through the muscle of the right arm. He was taken to Columbia College Hospital and examined by a board of five surgeons, and was discharged for disability, October 29, 1862. He organized a Home Guard company in the spring of 1863, was elected its captain, and served with the said company until February, 1864, when he re-en- tered the service, enlisting in Company C, Eight- eenth Regiment, Pennsylvania Cavalry. He was appointed orderly sergeant, and was commis- sioned as second lieutenant April 8, 1864. He was offered a commission as captain in Septem- ber, 1864, by Colonel Brinton, in Company F, of the same regiment, but declined it because he did not wish to leave his own company. He received

a commission as first lieutenant in Company C, May 15, 1865. He served under Generals Wil- son, Custer, and Phil Sheridan, and participated in the battles of Cold Harbor, White Oak Swamps, Petersburg, Occoquan Creek, Winches- ter, Fisher's Hill, Cedar Creek, Waynesboro, and all the engagements under Sheridan up to the surrender of Lee. His regiment was then sta- tioned in West Virginia and part of Ohio until October 30, 1865, when it was finally mustered out of the service.
In 1868 Mr. Edwards was united in marriage to Miss Mary Krauss, and to them were born nine children, seven of whom reached years of matur- ity, while six are now living at this writing in 1904. These are Richard, a stenographer ; Mary Jane, the wife of Harry McGinley ; John, a civil engineer ; Allen M., who is clerking for his fa- ther; Gertrude and Hattie. The parents are members of the Congregational church, in which Mr. Edwards is serving as a trustee. Socially, he is connected with Eli T. Connor Post, No. 177, G. A. R., of which he has several times been commander, filling that position at the present time. He is also a worthy member of Tamaqua Lodge, No. 238, F. & A. M. His political support is given to the Republican party, and he was prominent in the movement which resulted in the election of the first Republican official elected in Luzerne county, in 1871. He has served his bor- ough as councilman, being secretary of the board. He has also been a member of the school board and was its president. He is a good business man, a worthy citizen and a loyal friend.
WILLIAM LUCKENBACH was born in Hanover township, Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, August 6, 1807, and died in Bethlehem, Pennsyl- vania, July 28, 1893. In the year 1740 Adam and Eva (Spiess) Luckenbach, came from the father- land to America, and their son John Ludwig was a direct ancestor of William Luckenbach. He was born in Germany in 1738, and came to this country with his parents. He wedded Mary Magdalene Hottel, and died in 1795. Their son, John Adam Luckenbach, was born in 1761, wedded Mary Magdalene Becker, and died in
1842. His wife was born in 1761, was married in 1781, and died in 1837.
John David Luckenbach, son of John Adam and Mary Magdalene ( Becker) Luckenbach, and the father of William Luckenbach, was born in 1783, was married in 1804 to Elizabeth Clewell, and died in 1850.

William Luckenbach, third son of John David and Mary M. Luckenbach, spent a part of his youth in Hanover township, Lehigh county, and the remainder of his minority was passed on the big Moravian farm on the south side of the Le- high river. At an early age, desirous of learning a trade, he entered the employ of Benjamin Eg- gert, whose place of business occupied the pres- ent site of the Lehigh Valley National Bank, in Bethlehem. Under his direction Mr. Luckenbach learned the trades of cabinet-making and carpen- tering. Like many young mechanics of Bethle- hem he went to Philadelphia to secure work in his early journeyman days, but soon returned and was connected with building operations in Beth- lehem until the '50's. He then turned his at- tention to the dry-goods business, successfully conducting his store until 1871, when he was suc- ceeded by his son, Captain O. H. Luckenbach, and his son-in-law, J. Samuel Krouse, the latter still conducting the business. Mr. Luckenbach was very successful in his mercantile enterprise and amassed a very comfortable fortune. He made extensive and judicious investments in real estate, and became the owner of valuable property in Bethlehem and West Bethlehem. He was quick to recognize and improve business oppor- tunity, and his capable control of his interests made him one of the capitalists of his home town.
Mr. Luckenbach was a leading and influential citizen of Bethlehem, and at one time enjoyed the distinction of being the only surviving member of
