four years, making an excellent record for him- self and constituents, and during this time was largely interested in the forestry movement which has since culminated in a very practical manner, and he was a member of the educational and special judiciary committees. The interests of his party (Democratic), friends and neighbors were served so faithfully during his term of office that they expressed their desire to return him to the legislative body. He was a candidate for con- gress from the eighth district, which comprises Carbon, Monroe, Northampton and Pike coun- ties, but was defeated at the primaries. He dis- played marked intelligence on general and civic issues, and every movement which had for its object the betterment of this section of the state received from him a most earnest support. In 1890 he joined the Pennsylvania German So- ciety, organized that year for the purpose of bringing to the attention of the public the early history of the Pennsylvania Germans. He is a member of Hellertown Lodge, No. 563. Free and Accepted Masons ; Zinzendorf Chapter, No. 316, Royal Arch Masons, of Bethlehem; and Hugh De Payen Commandery, Knights Templar, of Easton. He is past master of Hellertown Lodge, and past high priest of the chapter.
Mr. Hess married, June 17, 1875, Miss Tillie Heminger, daughter of Moses Heminger, of Hel- lertown. Their children are: Herbert, Clara. Mary and Samuel. The family are members of the Reformed church of Hellertown, and for more than a quarter of a century Mr. Hess acted as superintendent of the Sunday-school.
AMOS J. HARRIS, M. D., a leading mem- ber of the medical profession in the city of Heller- town, Northampton county, Pennsylvania, pur- sued his studies in New York University ( Medi- cal Department of University Medical College), New York City, graduating therefrom with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1861.
GERHARD C. ASCHBACH, Allentown, Pa. In The Highlander of May 17, 1842, pub- lished in Freiburg, Germany, appeared a bio- graphical sketch of Gerhard Adolph Aschbach,
the grandfather of the subject of this article, from the pen of his intimate friend, Hermann von Rot- teck. From this we learn that Gerhard Adolph Aschbach was born &t Hoechst on the Main, June 27, 1793. His father was the proprietor of a ver- micelli factory, and a highly respected citizen of such culture and ability that he was the sole tutor of his son until the latter was fourteen years of age. Gerhard, ever cheerful and eager to learn, made rapid progress in his studies, and soon be- came the teacher of his younger brothers and sis- ters, especially of Joseph, who later became the well-known historian. When sixteen years old he was sent to the gymnasium at Idstein, where he so distinguished himself that he was allowed to skip two classes in the course.
Meanwhile the fortune of his father had changed. War had destroyed his possessions, and his son Gerhard had to leave school to help in the management of The Three Kings, which the elder Aschbach had leased in Heidelberg. Later he resumed his studies, although he, like his brother Joseph, was obliged to support himself by teaching in an institution for young ladies. During vacation he was accustomed to make pedestrian trips to all parts of Germany, in one of which he had an encounter with a notorious rob- ber of those days in the well known Odenwald. He was of a quiet and peaceable disposition but, when his honor was assailed or the name of a friend was attacked, he was bold and fearless. His skill in arms and his noble character rendered him particularly popular among the comrades of his student-corps.
When, in 1813, the Germans were summoned to arms to save the Fatherland, he abandoned his studies, was enrolled second lieutenant of the Seventh Battalion of the National Guard, and took part in the campaign of 1814, after which he returned to his books. When, in 1815, the war broke out afresh, he accompanied his regiment to Alsace, and was present at the battle of Stras- burg. After the peace of Paris, he continued his legal studies, and in 1816 passed the state exami- nations with distinction.
He began his official life in Emmendingen, where he married the daughter of Dr. Gaup, in

1820. After a stay of two years in this place he was called to Carlsruhe, and in 1825 he was ap- pointed Judge and Anlic Councillor in Rastatt, be- ing high in favor with the Grand Duke Ludwig. This position he held till 1833, when he was trans- ferred to the imperial court at Meersburg. He was a member of the famous Chamber of Deputies, in which he labored in behalf of the constitutional rights of the people by the side of leaders like Rotteck, Welcker, Duttlinger, Mittermaier, Hof- mann and Gerbel. After a two years' stay he was transferred to Constanz, and thence to Freiburg. He died suddenly on the 20th of April, 1842, from a stroke of apoplexy. His imposing funeral attested the high esteem in which he was held by his official colleagues and his fellow-citizens.
A younger brother of Gerhard Adolph Asch- bach, born at Hoechst, April 29, 1801, educated at Heidelberg, made a Doctor of Philosophy by the University of Marburg at the age of twenty- two, became the famous historian later known to the world as Joseph von Aschbach. A man of great versatility, and the author of many learned works, he was called to the University of Vienna as professor of history in 1853, became a member of the Academy of Sciences, was appointed Aulic Councillor, received the Order of the Iron Cross, and was raised by the Emperor to the Austrian nobility. In 1881 his students and col- leagues celebrated his eightieth birthday by pre- senting an address and a silver laurel-wreath on whose leaves were engraved the titles of his works. He died April 25, 1882. His son, Dr. Emil von Aschbach, is a prominent member of the legal profession in Vienna.
Gustavus Adolphus Aschbach, the son of Ger- hard Adolph Aschbach, was born at Rastatt, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, March 3, 1826. His father instilled in his mind the liberal ideas and hopes of a united fatherland, and placed him in the gymnasium at Freiburg. The son early chose the law for his life-work, and upon the death of his father entered the University of Heidelberg. While he was at the University the revolution of '48 broke out, and Aschbach, with many of his fellow-students, threw himself heartily into the movement. The revolution failed and he, with
many others, was obliged to leave the country in order to save his life. He went to Rapperschwyl, Switzerland, where he applied himself to civil engineering in which he became highly proficient.
In 1850 he came to this country and, after residing for a time in New York City, came to Al- lentown, Pennsylvania, in 1854, where his ability as architect and civil engineer soon made him prominent. He was repeatedly elected city en- gineer of Allentown, made excellent maps of the city and the county from his own surveys and was largely engaged in the construction of the Allentown & Hamburg Railroad, being associated with George B. Roberts, who later became presi- dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad. A great part of the perfect arrangement of the streets of Al- lentown is due to his skill. Among the many buildings that still attest his taste and ability as an architect are the Lehigh county prison, which has received great praise as a model specimen of prison architecture ; St. John's English Reformed Church; the Fifth Ward school house; and the residence of Mr. Thomas J. Koch. During the Civil war he was engaged in constructing fortifi- cations for the Union army in Ohio and Kentucky under Generals Simpson and Burnside, and ren- dered valuable services to his country. As a result of exposure in the performance of his duties in the army, he was an invalid for many years, and at last died of a complication of diseases on April 17, 1875.
During his lifetime he was a member of the German Patriotic Association, the Trexlertown Lodge of Free Masons, Allen Lodge of Odd Fel- lows, the German Association of Lehigh county, the Lehigh Saengerbund, the Academy of Nat- ural Sciences, the Allentown Board of Trade and the Palette Club of New York.
Mr. Aschbach met his future wife on the voyage from Havre to New York, which was made in the three-master "Robert Kelly." Captain Kennedy, and lasted forty-two days. On April II, 1854, he married Emilie Friederika Mayer, a daughter of Friederich Carl Mayer and his wife Christina, who was a daughter of Conrad Moritz, a retired landed proprietor, and his wife Magda- lena Steigelmann. Mrs. Aschbach was born in

Bergzabern, in the Rhenish Palatinate, February 14, 1832. Her father was register of landed es- tates, and a son of Rev. John Adam Mayer, a Councillor of the Consistory in Speyer-on-the Rhine, who had married into a prominent patri- cian family of Frankfort-on-the-Main. Here her youngest brother, Julius Mayer, is still living, while her oldest brother, Professor Frederick Mayer, for many years superintendent of music in the public schools of Dayton, Ohio, now lives in honored retirement in that city.
From this marriage of Gustavus Adolphus Aschbach with Emilie Friederika Mayer, were born Gerhard Charles Aschbach and Emma Char- lotte Elizabeth Aschbach, who, on August 17, 1899, was married to Professor George T. Et- tinger, Ph. D., of Muhlenberg College, Allen- town, Pennsylvania.
Gerhard Charles Aschbach, the son of Gus- tavus Adolphus and Emilie Friederika Aschbach, and now the head of the American branch of the family, was born in Allentown, January 15, 1855. He received his education in the public schools of Allentown, the Allentown Military Academy, and the Academic Department of Muhlenberg College. After learning the trade of cabinet- maker in the establishment of Heimbach & Hel- frich, he entered the organ factory of John Florey, whose business was later acquired by Ritter, Ab- bott & Ruhe, trading as the Allentown Organ Company. In 1876 he started in the music busi- ness at 810 Hamilton street, Allentown, but shortly afterwards moved into the basement of the Second National Bank Building, 532 Ham- ilton street, from which he in turn moved across the street into what was then known as the Os- mun & Scholl Building. Here he remained for several years, until the Second National Bank vacated its Hamilton street home, when he moved back and occupied the entire build- ing. Here he remained until 1891, when he purchased the Jonathan Reichard property at 539 Hamilton street, and erected the handsome four- storied building in which he now has his perma- nent business home. In all these years the field of his activity has been ever widening, until today G. C. Aschbach's Music House is the largest es-
tablishment of its kind in eastern Pennsylvania, requiring the constant services of twenty-two per- sons, importing extensively from foreign coun- tries and handling all the leading instruments and publications.
For five years Mr. Aschbach was the manager of the old Hagenbuch Opera House, now occu- pied by the extensive grocery store of James K. Bowen. At the same time he managed similar establishments in Bethlehem and Mauch Chunk. To him Allentown owes its first modern theatre, as it was through his efforts that Music Hall, later known as the Academy of Music, was erected, on the northeast corner of Sixth and Linden streets. During his management of the above-named theatres he presented many of the leading artists (literary, musical and dramatic) then before the public, of whom may be mentioned Emma Abbott, Minnie Hauk, the Boston Ideals, Joseph Jefferson, E. L. Davenport, Lawrence Barrett, Joe Emmett, Henry Ward Beecher, Ade- laide Neilson, Aime, Emma Thursby, Robson and Crane, Fanny Davenport, Madame Carreno, Joseffy, Chevalier de Kontski, the original Swed- ish Quartette, Camilla Urso, and John T. Ray- mond.
In 1880 he married Miss Sallie R. Kramer, daughter of Allen and Anna Diefenderfer Kra- mer. This union was blessed with six children, of whom three survive-Adolph Theodore, mar- ried to Bessie Dreifoos, daughter of Henry and Regina Dreifoos, of Allentown; Emilie Mary, now the wife of George H. Myers, Jr., of Bethle- hem, Pennsylvania, and Gerhard Charles Asch- bach, Jr. Both sons ably assist their father in his extensive business.
Mr. Aschbach was confirmed in St. John's. English Lutheran church, Allentown, by Rev. Reuben Hill, D. D., and for many years was a member of the same, until the organization of Christ Lutheran church, in the western part of the city, when he transferred his membership to the new congregation.
He is a member of the Royal Arcanum, the Heptasophs, the Knights of Malta, and the Liv- ingston Club; and a contributing member of the. Lehigh Saengerbund and the Allentown Oratorio

Society. He is also the treasurer and a director of the Keystone Mining and Development Com- pany, and a director in the William H. Ryan Company, corporations largely interested in min- ing in the states of Colorado and Wyoming.
THE LIVINGSTON CLUB, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, is one of the largest and most rep- resentative social clubs in the Lehigh Valley. While there is nothing very startling in the his- tory of such an organization, it nevertheless may be interesting to trace the different steps of that development by which it attained its present proud posi- tion in the social world of the far-famed Lehigh Valley.
On January 20, 1890, a party of prominent citizens of Allen- town, brought together largely by the efforts of Robert Iredell, Jr., and Louis Soleliac, gathered in Parlor A of the American Hotel. The object of the meet- ing was declared to be the for- mation of a social club for the enjoyment of its members as well as for "improving by social intercourse the physical and mental efficiency of its members as for the furtherance by friendly intercourse of the com- mercial prosperity of the lo- cality wherein it is situated." Of this meeting Dr. Edwin G. Martin was elected temporary chairman and Morris L. Kauff- man, Esq., temporary secre- tary. In addition to other busi- ness transacted at this time, the following committees were appointed .: Committee on Or- ganization-Hon. H. W. Allison, Hon. Robert E. Wright, Frederick S. Guerber, Louis Soleliac, and Joseph B. Lewis.
Committee on Charter and By-Laws-Morris L. Kauffman, Esq., Hon. Edward Harvey, Hon.
C. J. Erdman, E. B. Byington, and Hiram S. Shimer.
Committee on Selection of Club-House- William H. Ryan, Dr. Thomas T. Martin, George Ormrod, Alexander S. Shimer, and James Bott.
Committee on House Furnishing-Robert Iredell, Jr., William H. Weinsheimer, J. Edward Durham, John J. Fisher, and A. B. Bonneville.
The meeting adjourned to convene at the same place on January 23, 1890. At this ad-

journed meeting the committee on organization reported the following names as nominees for offices to serve until the next regular election : President, H. W. Allison ; vice-president, Louis Soleliac ; treasurer, William H. Ryan ; secretary, Robert Iredell, Jr.
These nominees were subsequently elected.

The committee on club house reported that they had inspected various places and unanimously de- cided in favor of the house occupied by Mr. E. B. Byington, on South Seventh street, and that the same could be rented for $600, upon a two years' lease, with option to purchase at $8,000. The action of the committee was approved and the house was rented with option to buy. On January 28th, the architects and builders of the club met and the new officers were installed. At this meeting it was "unanimously resolved that the name of this club shall be Livingston Club, of Allentown, Pa., in honor of the Livingstons connected with the early history of our city." On April 7, 1890, the club was incorporated un- der the decree of the court of common pleas of Lehigh county.
On February 10, 1891, the committee on real estate reported that they had conferred with Mr. Edward Ruhe, the owner of the house, who was willing to sell for $8,000, and on September 20, 1892, it was unanimously resolved to purchase the house and lot known as No. 22 South Sev- enth street.
On March 27, 1894, the Club decided to pur- chase the adjoining property for $5,300, from John S. Yeager, the owner. Various other items swelled the sum to $5,500. The contract for tearing down the old structure and erecting the handsome new building was awarded to Martz & Edwards for $3,200. This figure, however, did not include plumbing, gas-fitting, steam-heat- ing and electric wiring. Thus the club came into possession of the commodious quarters which it has enjoyed for the past decade.
During this time the amusements of the mem- bers were confined to cards, billiards and pool. On May 14, 1901, Edward A. Soleliac and Will- iam E. Martin were appointed a committee to solicit voluntary subscriptions from the members of the club for the erection of a bowling alley, and on June 29th the same committee was author- ized to receive bids and have the bowling alley constructed. Accordingly at a cost of over $3,000 a Brunswick-Balke bowling alley was installed, which has added very materially to the enjoy-
ment of the members and the popularity of the club.
In the latter part of 1904 extensive improve- ments were again made at an outlay of about $4,500. These changes and additions have ren- dered the club's home still more elegant and com- modious, so that we are safe in saying that there is no social organization outside of our largest cities that can now excel the Livingston Club of Allentown in the representative character of its membership and the comfortable appointments of its club-house. The property of the club, known as 20 and 22 South Seventh street, but a few steps from Center Square, is admirably located for its purpose and is worth at the lowest estimate $25,000.
At the annual meeting, held March II, 1902, the limit to the number of resident members was extended from one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five; and so greatly did the club grow in popular favor that within a year it was again ex- tended to one hundred and fifty. The annual receptions and "Ladies' Days," which are held twice a month during the season, occupy a promi- nent place among the social functions of the community.
Some years ago the club became known throughout the United States by its test case before the courts of Lehigh county and later be- fore the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in which case the right of legitimately organized and incorporated social clubs to dispense liquors to their members was legally established by the several decisions of the courts of the state.
The following members have served as offi- cers of the club since its organization :
Presidents, with their terms of office-Henry W. Allison, 1890-1891 ; Morris L. Kauffman, 1892; Robert E. Wright, 1893: J. Edward Dur- ham, 1894-1895 ; William H. Ryan, 1896; Ed- ward M.

In closing this brief sketch of the Livingston Club we can not refrain from quoting a writer who has ,often enjoyed its hospitality: "The Livingston Club, both in membership and ap- pointment, is the most noted club in the Lehigh Valley. Distinguished visitors, who know what club life is, are amazed when introduced into the precincts of the Livingston. Luxury, combined with the most perfect taste, marks its furnishings and decorations. There is nothing lacking that can in any way enhance the comfort and well- being of its members. Its membership com- prises the best element of our society. On its roster are found the names of men most promi- nent in our business, professional and social life. It has exerted a marked influence on the progress and prosperity of the city of Allentown."
HARRY MCCLELLAN GANGEWERE is numbered among the enterprising, progressive and substantial business men of Allentown, Le- high county, his place of business being located at 534 Walnut street, where he has conducted a successful and constantly increasing trade for the past eighteen years. He is a native of the city in which he now resides, born September 10, 1862, a son of Horace and Elizabeth (Hang- han) Gangewere, the latter named being a daugh- ter of William Hanghan. He is one of a family of seven children, the names of the others being as follows: George W., who married Libbie Balliet, and their family consisted of two chil-
dren, Grace, and Mamie, deceased; Peter, who married Nora Schmidt, and they are the parents of one child, Gertrude Gangewere; Edward, who married Myra Stout, and their children are Ed- ward, and Arthur Gangewere; Annie, wife of Albert Boch, and mother of four children : Mamie, Fred, Harold, and Helen Boch ; Clinton, deceased, who was the husband of Theresa and father of two children, Charles, and Lillian Gangewere; and Charles, who married Carrie Hefflefinger, no issue.
Harry McC. Gangewere acquired a practical and thorough rudimentary education in the public schools of Allentown, which he attended until he was fourteen years of age, when he entered the employ of Dauffer Brothers, to learn the butch- ering business. After serving the regular term of apprenticeship he worked for them in the capacity of journeyman for a number of years, and his connection altogether with the firm. ex- tended over a period of seven and a half years. He then entered into partnership with his broth- ers George and Peter, and they engaged in the same line of trade under the name of Gangewere Brothers. This connection was continued for two and a half years, during which time they handled about thirty head of cattle per week. Upon the dissolution of the firm, Harry McC. Gange- were purchased the property at 534 Walnut street, Allentown, and established a business on his own account. This was in the year 1886, and during the intervening time, a period of eighteen years, he has continued in the same place, and his trade has steadily increased in volume and im- portance. At the present time he handles about twenty head of cattle per week and manufactures his own products, such as lard, sausage, puddings, bacon and hams. Mr. Gangewere is an active and public-spirited citizen, is intelligently in- formed on the current affairs of the day. and takes an earnest interest in both local and national issues. He has been a candidate for the office of county treasurer twice, but was defeated each time by a small majority. He is vice-president of the Lehigh County Democratic Society, a member of the Free and Accepted Masons, and a member of the Knights of the Golden Eagle.

WILLIAM H. GANGEWERE. Among the residents of Cherryville, Northampton county, Pennsylvania, who have attained large financial gain and also an enviable reputation in business circles through their own individual efforts and by reason of reliable and thoroughgoing methods, is William H. Gangewere, who was born August 26, 1834, in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, a son of Solomon and Betsy Gangewere, also natives of that county, in which section the family were early settlers.
William H. Gangewere was reared to man's estate in his native county, obtained his educa- tion in the common schools thereof, and from the age of two until twenty-one years was an inmate in the home of his uncle, John Hollocher. On ar- riving at a suitable age he served an apprentice- ship at the trade of tinsmith under his uncle,
which line of work he followed successfully for a period of almost thirty years. In 1857 Mr. Gangewere took up his residence in Cherryville, Northampton county, and after conducting his trade there for a number of years, turned his attention to his present occupation, that of fruit- grower and truck gardener. His time is fully devoted to the raising of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, apples, pears and other fruits, also all kinds of garden truck. His opera- tions are conducted on a seventy-four-acre farm whereon there is a comfortable and commodious residence in which he and his family live in com- fort and peace. During the passing years his business has increased wonderfully both in vol- ume and importance, and he is now numbered among the most extensive and most successful fruit-growers and truck-gardeners in his section of the county. He is a man of genial, sociable disposition, and is kindly disposed toward his neighbors and friends who in turn regard him with affection and esteem. He is an active, prom- inent member of the United Evangelical church ; a firm adherent of the principles of Republican- ism, and renders substantial aid to every move- ment which has for its object the advancement of religion and the benefit of humanity.
In 1858 Mr. Gangewere was united in mar- riage to Miss Clara App, daughter of the late William App, who was one of the prosperous citi- zens of Northampton county. Six children were the issue of this union, one of whom is now de- ceased. The surviving members of the family are : Alice, wife of George B. Dieter ; Theophilus ; David, who married Minnie Henrichie, daughter of Louis and Mary Henrichie; George and Jo- seph Gangewere.
