The children of Tinsley and Mary Richards Jeter are : John Tinsley, now a resident of Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania; William Richards, de- ceased ; Harriet, Richards, and Mary.
SAMUEL CONMENIUS WOLLE, now de- ceased, was å resident of Bethlehem, Pennsyl- vania, and his activity in industrial affairs made him one of the representative citizens of the com- munity. His business interests were of a char- acter that proved of value in the promotion of commercial activity, while bringing to him at the same time a desirable financial reward for his labor. In matters of citizenship he was loyal and progressive, and his name was enrolled among the soldiers who went to the front from Pennsyl- vania in the Civil war.
Samuel Conmenius Wolle was born in Lan- caster county, Pennsylvania, May 28, 1825. His paternal grandfather, Peter Wolle (see sketch of Clarence A. Wolle), was a Moravian missionary, who was born at Schwersentz, Poland, November 6, 1745. Coming to America in order to spread
the gospel idea in which he believed, he devoted his remaining days to missionary work in this country and died at Nazareth, Pennsylvania, No- vember 20, 1813. His son, Peter Wolle, Jr., was born at New Herrnhut on the island of St. Thomas, in the West Indies, January 5, 1792. He was one of three theclogical students who matri- culated in the Mcravian Theological Seminary at the time it was opened in 1807. Having prepared for the ministry, he served as pastor of the church of his denomination in Lancaster, Philadelphia, and Lititz, Pennsylvania, and in 1845 was conse- crated a bishop of the church. From 1855 until 1861 he was a member of the governing board of the Moravian church in America, and was one of the most eminent divines of his denomination, his advanced scholarship, zeal and energy making his influence a most important force in the develop- ment and progress of his church. He married Miss Maria Theresa Schober, who died in 1853, while he passed away in 1871. Their children were as follows: Emma E., born August 6, 1820; Na- thaniel, born October 9, 1822; Samuel C., born May 28, 1825; James H., born May 7, 1828; Theodore, born February 12, 1832; and Henry Herman, born May 7, 1836. Of this family Emma became the wife of Ferdinand Rickert, and to them were born three children: Francis Ed- ward, now deceased ; Florence T., born December 8, 1848; and Adelaide L., born July 28, 1850. Nathaniel Wolle married Angelica Mitsch, and their children were three in number : Charles E., born July 18, 1848; Robert N., born July 1, 1850; and Esther Elizabeth, born October 3, 1854. James H. Wolle was married to Sarah Grosch, of Lititz, Lancaster county, who died in April, 1860. Their children were Estelle T., born June 25, 1856; Lewis T., born April 15, 1858; and J. Samuel, April 12, 1860. His second wife was Amelia Weiss, a daughter of Jededialı Weiss, and they had two children : William Sayre, born Sep- tember 29, 1862 ; and Mary W., born September 25, 1871. Theodore Wolle, who was born Feb- ruary 12, 1832, married Adelaide Sussdorff, and their children were Agnes L., born July 28, 1866; and Caroline M., born March 10, 1874. For some time he served as director of the choir and organ-

ist of the Moravian church in Bethlehem, and for many years was connected with the Bethlehem Philharmonic Society. He died in 1885. Henry Herman Wolle was married to Gertrude Kimber, of Philadelphia, who was born November 15, 1835. Their children were Laura G., born May 31, 1857, and now deceased; Francis, who was born April 1, 1860, and died in childhood ; Lily M., born November 13, 1866; and Helen, who died in early girlhood.
Samuel C. Wolle, the second son of Peter and Maria Theresa Wolle, was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, where he was a classmate of the late Bishop Edmund de Sweinitz. On completing his own course of study he afterward became a teacher in the Hall, where he served from 1845 until 1848. Later he was engaged in teaching at Canal Dover, Tuscarawas county, Ohio, for a number of years, and then abandoning the educational field he entered the employ of the Thomas Iron Company at Canal Dover, about 1857. The company had erected a furnace there for the manufacture of pig iron, but in 1860 the business passed into other hands, and Mr. Wolle returned to Pennsylvania. Subsequently he was connected with the Parryville furnace, and later with the Hokendauqua furnace, and following the period of his service in the Civil war he resumed his position with the Thomas Iron Company, re- maining as cashier of the Hokendauqua works until he resigned about three years prior to his death, at which time he was the oldest employee in the service of the company.
When the country became involved in civil war over the attempt of the south to withdraw from the Union Mr. Wolle offered his services in its defense and became an orderly sergeant under Captain James Thomas of Company D, Thirty- fourth Regiment of Emergency Men, in 1863. He was always faithful in citizenship, taking a pub- lic spirited interest in whatever pertained to local advancement or to national welfare. In politics he was a stanch Republican, thoroughly loyal to his party and its interests and he not only kept well informed concerning the political questions of the day, but was also well versed in current and literary topics. His strength of character and his
upright life as well as his business integrity won him the respect and confidence of all who knew him.
Samuel C. Wolle was united in marriage on the 23d of July, 1867, to Miss Phoebe Louisa Mil- ler, a native of Ohio. She was born at Canal Do- ver, November 10, 1835, a daughter of Benjamin and Catherine Miller. Her girlhood days were spent in her native city and her education was acquired in its public schools. One child was born unto Mr. and Mrs. Wolle: Emma Er- nestine, whose birth occurred March 15, 1870, and who is now the wife of Robert Paul Stout, in charge of the gun department in the steel works. They have two children : Robert, born April 26, 1895, and Frank Wolle, born July 15, 1899.
JOHN LERCH. The Lerch family of Bethlehem traces its ancestry back to Anthony Lerch, who resided in Lower Saucon township, Northampton county, Pennsylvania, prior to the war of the Revolution. He was born in Germany, September 20, 1720, and when a young man of eighteen years he left the Palatine, together with his brother Gratius, and his father, Andreas Lerch, and sailed for America. Gratius Lerch was then sixteen years of age. Peter Lerch, twen- ty years of age, also came at that time, but it is not definitely known whether he was the brother of Anthony and Gratius Lerch, although it is sup- posed that he was. They sailed from Rotterdam on the ship Queen Elizabeth, commanded by Captain Alexander Hope, and landed at Phila- delphia, Pennsylvania, September 16, 1738. An- thony, Gratius and Peter Lerch settled in Lower Saucon township. Northampton county, the first named owning real estate there in 1754. There were three others of the name of Lerch-William, Nicholas and Yost-who came to America in the same ship, but their names do not appear on the passenger list, as they were still quite young. They lived in . Berks county, Pennsylvania, in 1759, but little. is known of them, and nothing of Andreas and Johann Lerch after their emigration to the new world.

Joseph Lerch, the seventh child of John and Sybilla Lerch, and the father of John Lerch, of this review, was born December 21, 1786, and married Salome Bleim, who was born December 15, 1796, and died April 24. 1847. They had eight children. Stephen, the eldest, born February 12, 1820, died November 25, 1870: he removed to Stark county, Indiana, in 1853, and was married to Margaret E. Falis, by whom he had three chil- dren-Sarah, Martha and Jennie Lind. David, born August II, 1821, married Sallie Young, and their children were Frank J., William H., Jacob,
Tillie, Harry, George, John, Frederick and Er- win. Joseph, born December 31, 1822, died Au- gust 12, 1858; he married Eliza Hummel, and their children were Amelia, Henry and Amandus W. Catherine Magdelena, born April 23, 1825, died March 4, 1833; Sarah, born June 7, 1828, became the wife of Reuben Kuntz, and their chil- dren were Milton, Robert, George and Sallie. John was the sixth of the family. Mandes was born May 19, 1833. Bennevillc, born June 29, 1839, married Senia Saeger, and she was the mother of one son, Charley.
John Lerch, the sixth child of Joseph and Salome (Bleim) Lerch, was born October 16, 1829, near Kreidersville, Fennsylvania, and was reared on his father's farm in Allen township, Northampton county. His educational privileges were limited to a brief attendance at the academy of Kirkpatrick and Horn, in Easton, Pennsyl- vania, in addition to the advantages afforded by the common schools. In 1844 he entered upon his commercial career by becoming a salesman in the store of George Weber & Son, at Kreidersville, Pennsylvania, and in 1846 he came to Bethlehem, which was then a town of about one thousand in- habitants, almost exclusively Moravians. Here he entered the store of James A. Rice, and re- ceived a mercantile training of more than ordin- ary excellence and thoroughness. It was the cus- tom at that time for the young clerk to become a member of his employer's family, a step which re- sulted in cementing a bond of friendship and es- teem between him and the family that was only broken by death. When Mr. Rice died, in 1850, Mr. Lerch was called upon to conduct the busi- ness in behalf of the heirs until the settlement of the estate, and this he did in the most satisfactory and creditable manner. At a later date he served as deputy postmaster of the town.
In 1851 he again became an active factor in mercantile circles, entering into partnership with Rufus A. Grider. In the spring of 1857 the firm of Grider & Lerch, was dissolved and Mr. Lerch embarked in business on his own account. He possessed great energy, keen discrimination and unfaltering diligence, and those qualities proved the salient features in his success. His trade be-

came larger than that of any other house in this section of the country, his patronage being drawn from the farming community over a large area, and no establishment of this part of the state was so popular or well known as Lerch's Bee Hive. In 1865 Mr. Lerch admitted Joseph A. Rice, a son of his former employer, to a partnership in the business, and the firm style of John Lerch & Company was adopted. Until 1871 the business was conducted in a small room which had served a similar purpose since 1822, but was entirely in- adequate to the needs of the enterprise. In 1875 Mr. Rice became the owner of this building, and a large and commodious store was erected for the Bee Hive in order that there should be sufficient space in which to display their extensive line of merchandise to good advantage. In 1874 M. J. Person was admitted to a partnership, which however, was dissolved in 1885. Mr. Lerch and Mr. Rice continued together as proprietors of the Bee Hive, the business name of Lerch & Rice be- ing then adopted. For many years Mr. Lerch was thus prominently identified with the mercantile interests of Bethlehem. Honored and respected by all, he occupied a very enviable position in mercantile and financial circles, not alone because of the success he achieved but also by reason of the honorable business methods he ever followed.
Mr. Lerch was married, August 7, 1855, to Miss Sarah E. Jones, a daughter of Joseph B. Jones, of Bethlehem township, Northampton county, Pennsylvania. They became the parents of two children. The elder, Joseph A., born Att- gust 4, 1860, died May 20, 1861. The younger son, Frank J., born October 18, 1863, has spent his life in the store, which he now owns in part- nership with Mr. Rice.
As a citizen, John Lerch was eminently public- spirited and progressive. He was deeply inter- ested in every movement that might develop and improve the city of his adoption, and was a co- operant factor in many measures for advancement along substantial lines. To him the community is largely indebted for the establishment of a weekly newspaper in Bethlehem, which subsequently de- veloped into the Bethlehem Times, now being published. During the Civil war he twice an-
swered the emergency call for troops, and never wavered in his allegiance to the Union cause. He held membership in the Reformed church, was one of its leading officers and his influence and efforts were potent factors in its development. At one time he served as a trustee of Franklin and Mar- shall College, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he founded several scholarships. His life was upright, his actions manly and sincere, and his in- fluence was ever for the good of the community in which he made his home. He died January 16, 1886.
THE RAU FAMILY. John Conrad Rau was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, April 27, 1741, and in 1768 crossed the Atlantic to the new world, establishing his home in Pennsylvania.

WALTER LEISENRING WATSON, a civil and mining engineer, who is now general manager of the plant of the Clear Water Spring Company at Catasauqua, was born in Montrose, Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, in 1870.
John Watson, a great-uncle of Walter L. Wat- son, founded the John Watson University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and also endowed the Uni- versity of Edinburgh.
The family, of Scotch origin, was founded in America by Walter Watson, the great-grandfa- ther, who crossed the Atlantic from Scotland in the first quarter of the nineteenth century and settled on the Hudson river in the state of New
York. He afterward returned to Scotland, leaving his son Walter, who was born in Scotland in 1819, and after his father's return to that country removed to Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, where he purchased a tract of land of one hun- dred and fifty acres. He built there a homestead which still remains in possession of the family. He married Candace Hammond, and to them were born seven children. Wilson Watson, the eldest, was married twice and had two children, Edward and Gertrude. Willoughby W., the sec- ond, is the father of Walter L. Watson. Can- dace (3d) married and had two daughters. Cul- ley (4th) married Orrie Washiburn. Rose (5th) became the wife of Daniel Hanna; John (6tl2) married and had three girls and one boy; Delia (7th ) married Charles Tyler.
Willoughby W .. Watson was born in New Milford, Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, in 1842, acquired his education in the public schools, began teaching at a very early age, and when only nineteen years of age was county superintend- ent of schools. He entered upon the study of law under the direction of Judge Fitch, subsequently became a partner of his preceptor, and attained a position of distinction in connection with the Sus- quehanna bar. He became a recognized leader of public opinion, and his high standing in the re- gard and confidence of his fellow men is indicated by the fact that he was chosen for the position of state senator in 1875, the first Republican nominee ever elected to that office in the county, defeating Charles Hawley, the Democratic candidate. In 1883 he removed to Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he continued his law practice, and he is now a member of seven different bars. He is also con- nected with many of the leading financial and in- dustrial enterprises of Scranton and vicinity, be- ing the vice president of the Traders' National Bank, of Scranton ; a director of the Cement Na- tional Bank at Siegfried, Pennsylvania ; president of the Pennsylvania Casualty Company of Scran- ton ; a director of the Clear Spring Water Com- pany of Catasauqua, and of the Whitehall Port- land Cement Company. He has come to be a lawyer and man of affairs of commanding ability, yet his labors have not been restricted to the ad-

vancement of his own personal interests, as he has extended his efforts to various fields in which as an acknowledged leader he has championed the highest interests of the people of this section of the state. He married Annie Kemmerer, and they had six children : Walter; Charles and Ger- trude, who died in childhood ; Albert, who mar- ried Mabel Wheeler ; Annie, and Candace.
Walter L. Watson was reared in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and his preliminary education, ac- quired in the public schools there, was supple- mented by study in Swarthmore College, in which he was graduated with the class of 1893, completing a course in civil and mining engi- neering. His business activity has always been directed along those lines. He was first em- ployed by the Mid-Valley and Mount Carmel Coal Companies in the coal mining regions, where he remained for six years, and later he removed to Cementon, where he was employed for three years, building the plant of the Clear Water Spring Company. He is now general manager for this company at Catasauqua, and of the enterprise John J. Kemmerer is the president.
Walter L. Watson was married to Miss Mar- garet E. Boyer, a daughter of Reuben and Re- becca Boyer. She was born at Catasauqua, and they now have two children: Candace, born May 10, 1902, and Margaret M., born October 17, 1903.
JOHN FREDERICK WOLLE, who, hav- ing studied under some of the best musicians of the old world, has become a musician of note in Pennsylvania, now resides in Bethlehem, his na- tive town, and has exercised a strongly felt in- fluence in behalf of the musical development of of the Lehigh Valley. His birth occurred April 4, 1863, his parents being Francis and Elizabeth (Weiss) Wolle.

Herrnhut, Germany, where he was employed as an artisan. In course of time he tendered his ser- vices to the Brethren's church, and received an appointment by lot as missionary to the negro race in the Danish West Indies.
