In October, 1853, Mr. Dreibelbis married Elizabeth Deisher, daughter of Jacob and Annie (Schwoyer) Deish- er, and this union was blessed with the following children : Jefferson m. Ella Miller; Jacob D. m. Hettie A. Leiby; Maria m. Lewis Adam; Lovina m. John Schucker; Stella m. Lewis Gehret; Louisa died in 1879, aged thirteen years; George A .; and Miss Hannah Blandina, who ministers to the comfort and happiness of her aged father. In politics Mr. Dreibelbis is a Democrat, and has seldom missed an election. He served Richmond township as an auditor, school director, supervisor, and justice of the peace. In the latter office he served twenty-five years, and was re- lieved by his son, George A., who was elected to the office. Mr. Joel Dreibelbis was a real peace-maker, and settled many estates. He was frequently called upon to. act as guardian, assignee, administrator, executor and trustee. He is a most valued and esteemed citizen of his township.

(V) JACOB D. DREIBELBIS was born Oct. 1, 1855, in Rich- mond township, near Virginville, son of Joel Dreibelbis. He spent his boyhood days on his father's farm, and his education was obtained in the schools of his native town- ship, which he attended until attaining the age of eighteen years. On April 8, 1882, Mr. Dreibelbis married Hettie Ann Leiby, daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth (Mengel) Leiby, the former a stone cutter and farmer in Perry town- ship.

Mr. Dreibelbis is the owner of the well-known summer resort, "Ontelaunee House," which he built in 1902 on the banks of the Ontelaunee river, opposite Virginville. The hotel is located on an elevation, this affording a grand view of the adjoining country. The Ontelannee is met at Virginville by Sacony Creek, and the best fishing in this part of the State is to be found at this place- black bass, trout, suckers, cat-fish, sun-fish and eels abound- ing. The fresh, pure air, the fine fishing and boating and the restful quiet are very beneficial, and afford great in- ducement to residents of cities in the eastern part of the State. The hotel is large and commodious and the build- ing modern and substantial. Mr. Dreibelbis lives retired with his family on one of his farms near Virginville, which he bought at public sale in 1893, and which was formerly owned by his uncle Simon, deceased. In his dealings with his fellow men he is upright and honorable, and as a citizen he is public-spirited. In politics Mr. Dreibelbis is a Democrat. He and his family attend St. Peter's Re- formed Church, of which he has served as trustee.

JOHN K. ROTHERMEL. In cvery age and country, whether in a crisis or in times of peace, there is gener- ally one person who looms up into special prominence, and such constitute the famous men in history. The country districts are no exception to this social exper- ience; they also have their men of local eminence, and

such a man, it may be truly said, was John K. Rother- mel in the community in which he lived. This local dis- tinction he had not sought; he was neither ambitious nor proud; he did not want office; he preferred to be a private citizen. It was his character and dealings with others that account for this estimation.

John K. Rothermel was born in Maiden-creek town- ship. Berks Co., Pa., Oct. 5, 1835, and died Feb. 27, 1908, on his farm in Richmond township, although his home was then at Fleetwood, Pa., and was buried at the Beck- er's St. Peter's Church, of which church he was a mem- ber and one of the founders. He was a son of Daniel and Esther (Koller) Rothermel, of German descent, a lineal descendant of John Rothermel-who died on the ocean leaving his orphan children to settle (1730) in the New World-and of the fifth generation of the Rother- mel family in America : 1st generation John, 2d Peter, 3d Peter, 4th Daniel, 5th John K., the subject of this sketch. On May 20, 1861, he married Susanna Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Benjamin B. and Sarah (Kindt) Peters. His family consisted of the following children: Ira P., Sallie, John P., Esther, Sue, Florence and Harry P. His widow and children survived him. Ira married A. Lizzie Grim, of Kutztown; children, John, Daniel and Catharine. John married Sallie K. Bechtel, of Reading; children, Julia and Leonard. Esther married Jacob H. Rothermel, of Fleetwood. Sue married Rev. M. L. Her- bein, of Reading, a minister of the Reformed Church. Harry married Mabel Pryor of Langhorne, Pa., and they have one child, Dorothy.

He was medium sized, strong and wiry, active and quick. He had hazel eyes and black hair. His strong- est traits of character were strict integrity and his desire to see justice done to all especially to the poor. He was no admirer of competition in business, believed in a chance for everyone, and a "square deal" for all. He was a good neighbor and highly respected. His greatest weakness of character was his impatience and irritability with what he considered wrong. Although not a reader, having received but nine months' schooling, yet he was a man of originality and independence of thought.

He was an advocate of education, good schools, and good teachers, a director of schools of Richmond town- ship for several terms, first in his community to intro- duce the English language into a German family as best he could. He sent his children to the Normal school at Kutztown where the daughters graduated and the sons prepared for college. Ira is a graduate of Lafay- ette College, and a successful attorney-at-law, residing in Reading. Sallie is a teacher in Fleetwood. John is a graduate of the Medical Department, University of Pennsylvania. Esther and Sue were at one time teach- ers. Florence, a graduate of Dickinson College, is now a teacher in the Camden (N. J.) high school. and was formerly a teacher in the State Normal School at Kutz- town. Harry, a graduate of Lafayette College, is now professor in the Boys' high school, Philadelphia, and was the organizer and first principal of the Shoemakersville (Pa.) high school.

He was a farmer by occupation all his life. When the Northampton Iron Company opened their mines in Richmond township, he was chosen as their superintend- ent as long as the mines were operated. He was also treasurer of Rothermel & Co.'s iron ore mines in Maiden- creek township, but he did not relinquish farming while thus engaged. He owned and operated several very large farms and was unusually successful.

In politics he placed citizenship above partisanship. Although religiously inclined and a member of the Ger- man Reformed Church, his religion was not of the emo- jonal kind. His Christianity was practical-loving his neighbor as himself. his God above all else. contribut- ing liberally but unostentatiously to both church and charity.

BIOGRAPHICAL

GEORGE A. RAVEL, a merchant of Reading, is a two children who died in their infancy. Of this family native of that city, born there Dec. 28, 1865, son of George Ravel, Sr. The father still resides in Reading, but has retired after his long years of labor as an iron-molder.

George A. Ravel was sent first to the public schools, and then to a parochial one, but at the age of twelve his attendance stopped altogether, and he went to work . as an errand boy for Jonathan Mould. He worked for him from 1877 to 1887, and was promoted a number of times acting as clerk in various departments, and finally being put in charge of the domestic department. After a year spent in Chicago, still in the mercantile line, Mr. Ravel returned to Reading, and on Oct. 13, 1888, opened a store of his own in a private house located at No. 113 North Ninth street. He began with a room twenty by thirty feet, but two years later he built an addition twenty by forty-five feet, and remained in those quarters until 1897. He then bought the property and erected a store building 20 x 100 feet, four stories in height, where he carries a full line of notions, dry goods and ladies' and gentlemen's furnishings. He employs twelve clerks, and has a constantly increasing volume of trade. In 1903, as he felt his health failing somewhat from overwork, Mr. Ravel took Mr. E. P. Fidler in as a partner, thus lightening his own responsibilities. Mr. Ravel has also gone extensively into building operations, lately, and dur- ing the past four years has erected forty buildings in different parts of the city. He is a most capable busi- ness man, with unusually good judgment, and ranks among the most successful merchants of the city.

The wife chosen by Mr. Ravel was Miss Annie M. Bitting, daughter of Jacob and Sallie Bitting, both now deceased. Three sons have been born to this union, Harry, Walter and George, all attending school. The family reside at No. 1257 Eckert avenue. Mr. Ravel is a member of St. Peter's Catholic Church, but his wife be- longs to the Reformed Church.

DR. FRANKLIN B. NICE, physician at Hamburg for upward of fifty years, was born in Hummelstown, Dauphin Co., Pa., Aug. 26, 1830, and during his in- fancy his parents removed to Hamburg, Berks county. After a thorough preparatory education he studied medi- cine under the direction of his father, and then attend- ed a regular course of lectures in the Jefferson Medical College, from which he was graduated in 1851. After practising for a while under his father, he established an office of his own at Hamburg, and continued in active and very successful practice until shortly before his de- cease, June 29, 1905. For several terms he officiated as councilman (1876-77-78) and also as a school controller; but his increasing practice, which extended into the coun- try for many miles, prevented him from doing any con- siderable work in municipal, social or political affairs. He was recognized as a superior and devoted physician; and the large number of accounts unpaid at his decease evidenced his sympathetic and generous nature. Finan- cial matters engaged much of his attention, and in their management he was very successful.

Dr. Nice was married to Elizabeth Heffner, daughter of Daniel Heffner, a farmer of Perry township, and Elizabeth Graeff, his wife (who was a daughter of Ab- raham Graeff, a farmer of Maiden-creek township), and they had two children: Benjamin H., also a practising physician at Hamburg from 1877 to his decease in 1907; and Lizzie, who was married to Rev. J. G. Neff, a na- tive of Kutztown. who for a number of years served as pastor of the Reformed church at Shenandoah and Ban- gor; he departed from this life Aug. 23, 1906.

Dr. Benjamin Reinard Nice, father of Franklin B., was a successful physician with a large practice at Ham- burg and vicinity for thirty years, from 1832 to 1862. He was married to Margaret Brugler, by whom he had ten children: John, Milton, Franklin. George, Walter, Caroline (who married Enoch Koller), Margaret (who married John Sunday), Anna Mary (who married Rev. Frederick Kolb, a well-known Presbyterian minister), and

Mrs. Anna Mary Kolb, now eighty odd years old, is still living at Alburtis, Pa. She is the mother of Rev. John Kolb, a noted Presbyterian missionary, who is doing a noble work in South America.

John Nice, the grandfather, was born in 1767 in Fred- erick township, Montgomery Co., Pa., and died in 1844. He married Hannah, daughter of David Reinard, who was born in 1768 and died in 1817.

Anthony Nice, the great-grandfather, emigrated with his brother Cornelius from Wales, and settled in Phil- adelphia county, Pa., where he carried on farming un- til his decease, at Nicetown, a village named after him.

A. N. KISSINGER, manager and owner of the ex- tensive storage, auction and flour house at Nos. 31-35 South Eighth street, as well as president and general manager, of the well-known Farmers' Market House, at Reading, Berks Co., Pa., is rated as one of the most substantial and progressive business men of the Key- stone State. He is a son of Washington S. and Eliza- beth (Yost) Kissinger, born Dec. 5, 1850.

Washington S. Kissinger was accounted a man of un- usual natural force and broad business capacity. After receiving but an imperfect common school education, at Reading, he became employed, while still quite young, on the canal near that city. Later he located in Read- ing, and in time became prominent in the lime and sand business, building also the famous Farmers' Market House. At the time of his death in November, 1873, he was not only an acknowledged business leader and a pro- gressive citizen, but the owner and operator of several valuable farms in Berks county. His wife, Elizabeth Yost, died in Reading at the age of seventy-three. Their children, besides A. N., were: Harry A., a wholesale. grain dealer at Birdsboro, Berks county; George W.,. formerly a sign painter and skilled mechanic; Mrs. Mary A. Dick, widow of the late Henry D. Dick, of No. 106: South Ninth street, Reading; and Mrs. Susan Dubson, living near Blandon, Berks county.

A. N. Kissinger received a common school education in the schools of Berks county, locating at Reading, Ap- ril 1, 1870, and entering the employ of C. S. Birch & Co. In the following year he established a clothing and shoe business, later he and his father also associating them- selves at the same location, No. 929 Penn street, in the flour and feed business, continuing together until the death of the latter in 1873. The Market House business was founded May 10, 1871, and July 16, 1871, A. N. Kiss- inger assumed its active management. He has contin- ued in that capacity ever since, has been one of the own- ers, and the manager and treasurer of the Farmers' Market House. Under Mr. Kissinger's management ex- tensive and important improvements have been made in the original house erected by his father, so that he now as president, general manager and one of the largest stockholders controls the largest and most complete mar- ket in the city. This was incorporated in January, 1907, as the Farmers' Market House Company. For the accom- modation of out-of-town patrons he has erected a three- story stable, with sleeping apartments attached.
