ALLEGHENY.

a large and valuable farm. Mr. Walker has held various local offices, including that of justice. In 1859-60 he served as a member of the state legislature.

John Ware was an early settler of Allegheny township. Among his children were : John, George, Henry, Joseph and Susanna. John was born in this township in 1807, and died in 1874. About 1846 he purchased the farm of three hundred and sixty-three acres on which his son William now resides. William has held several township offices. He served a short time in the late war.

John C. Reitz, who was born in Stony Creek township, settled in Allegheny in 1868, on a farm of four hundred and fifteen acres, pur- chased of Jacob B. Hillegass. Iu 1877 he erected a planing-mill, and in 1882 rebuilt it. He also has a sawmill and a sash and door factory. All are run by steam-power. Mr. Reitz manufactures all kinds of building lumber.

In 1859 Jacob B. Hillegass, now of New Buena Vista, Bedford county, purchased of John Keff's heirs a tract of fifteen hundred acres of land in Allegheny township. He has since disposed of about one thousand acres. His son, William H., owns nearly seven hundred acres of the tract mentioned, having purchased it in 1881. He is principally engaged in farming and stock-raising.

John Geiger, a native of Berks county, came to this township in 1834, settling upon an unimproved farm, of which he has since cleared about seventy-five acres.

NEW BALTIMORE.

New Baltimore borough occupies a picturesque location. It is situated on the bottom-lands of the Raystown branch of the Juniata, in a deep valley between High Knob and Cove Ridge. The town was laid out in 1829 by Michael Riddlemoser, of Baltimore, and named after that city. Bernard Connelly was the surveyor. The place was formerly generally known as Mosersburg.

Riddlemoser built the first house in the place about 1820. It was first occupied by John O'Neal as a store. It is now the residence of Mrs. Margaret Bridge. About the same date Riddlemoser erected a gristmill, which is still in operation, and is now owned by William F. Weber. The mill, in early years, was the prin-

cipal one in a wide extent of country, and was largely patronized by the people of the western part of Bedford county, to whom it was more convenient than any other.

Other minor industries soon sprang up at this point, and the village grew slowly into a pros- perous settlement. It was incorporated in 1873. The present population is about two hundred. The borough has one church, one physician (Dr. H. C. Reidt), four stores, one hotel, one gristmill, one distillery, two blacksmith-shops, one tannery, one coopershop, one wagonshop, one saddlershop, one shoemaker-shop, and one cabinetshop.

The ground on which the town stands was presented by Michael Riddlemoser to the Catholic church, together with considerable of the surrounding territory. It is leased to occu- pants for ninety-nine years, with the privilege of renewal at the end of the time.

Anthony Luken, a native of Germany, came to Allegheny township in 1819, and settled at New Baltimore, where he died in 1833. His son, Francis A., a farmer and carpenter, still resides here. Mr. Luken is remarkably well versed in the early history of the township.

Francis Weber, a native of Germany, came to America in 1840. He settled in Wellersburg, and in 1851 removed thence to Allegheny town- ship and settled on a farm of three hundred acres, which he purchased of Daniel Weyand. He followed farming and milling. He died in 1833. His wife was Mary Ture. Children : Henry, William F., Mary (Luken), Catharine (Barley) and Elizabeth. William F. Weber, born in Germany, came to this county with his parents. He learned milling of his father, and now owns and operates the old Riddlemoser mill at New Baltimore. Mr. Weber has held various local offices.

Abraham Riffle, a native of Jenner township, and a son of Barney Riffle, an early settler, came to Allegheny township about 1849. He purchased four hundred acres of land of Michael Riddlemoser for four hundred dollars, and engaged in farming. He died in 1864. The maiden name of his wife was Susanna Mc- Ginnis. Children : Abraham P., Sylvester and Susanna, living ; Elias, Peter H. and Lawrence, deceased.

A. P. Riffle was born in Jenner township, and moved to Allegheny township with his parents. In 1863 he went to Bedford, where he learned

the saddler's trade. In 1877 he returned to New Baltimore, where he carries on saddlery and harnessmaking. He is now town constable.

John P. Spicer was born in Juniata township, Bedford county. He kept hotel at New Buena Vista for three years. In 1878 he purchased of Michael Reitinger a farm of eighty-six acres, which he traded in 1880 for the hotel property at New Baltimore which he now owns and occupies. Mr. Spicer has served as school direct- or, and is now one of the borough councilmen.

Lewis B. Smith, a native of Allegheny town- ship, learned the blacksmith's trade under John Musser, and since 1870 has been carrying on business for himself in New Baltimore. Mr. Smith has held the office of school director.

Peter A. Topper was born in Adams county in 1814. In 1839 he settled in Allegheny town- ship, where he died in 1865. His son, John M., began the mercantile business at Stony Creek in 1867, and continued it for three years. In 1870 he came to New Baltimore, where he still follows the same business. He also erected a distillery in 1870. In 1881 he purchased the Francis Suhrie estate, situated in Stony Creek township. The farm contains one hundred and eighty-five acres, and upon it is a distillery, erected in 1867. From the two distilleries Mr. Topper manufactures about fifteen thousand gallons of whisky yearly. In 1882 he became principal owner of the William Conner prop- erty, consisting of a farm and a new gristmill with the latest improved machinery. Mr. Top- per also owns two hundred acres of timber-land. He has been justice of the peace, and held other borough offices.

Sylvester A. Topper, brother of John M., owned a half-interest in the distillery at New Baltimore until 1880. About 1868 J. M. and S. A. purchased the estate of their father, which they owned in partnership until 1872, when J. M. sold his half to his brother Francis, S. A. still retaining his part. Mr. S. A. Topper also owns a distillery and a gristmill. The distillery is operated about five months of the year, mak- ing about three thousand gallons of whisky. He also owns a store which he started in 1882.

Wendelin Werner, a native of Baden, Ger- many, settled in Allegheny township in 1840. He was a weaver by trade, also owned a farm ; died in 1871. His son, Francis A. Werner, also born in Germany, came to America in 1840 and

learned the cooper's trade. In 1851 he set up business for himself, and still continues his trade. He also owns a farm of one hundred and ninety-six acres. Mr. Werner was justice of the peace for ten years, and has served as school director.

Gregory Hankinson, a native of Manchester, England, came to America in 1821, and settled at Baltimore, Maryland. In 1830 he came to New Baltimore. He was a shoemaker by trade, and also a music teacher. He died in 1871. Joseph, his son, was born at Baltimore, Mary- land, and came to this county with his father. In 1850 he began learning carpentry, which trade he has since followed. Mr. Hankinson has held various borough offices, and at present serves as justice of the peace.

FAIR HOPE.

Fair Hope is a small railroad station on the Baltimore & Ohio. The village was laid out about the close of the late war, and received its name from the fact that the citizens had then a speedy prospect of a railroad through the place. The village has not improved much during the last fifteen years. But with the development of minerals in its vicinity, it may yet attain some importance.

The North Savage Firebrick Works, of Welsh, Palmer & Maxwell, are located near Fair Hope. The works were started by Pittsburgh capital- ists in 1881. They manufacture a superior quality of red brick, and are doing a good busi- ness.

CHURCHES.

Roman Catholic .- St. John's church, New Baltimore, dates back to 1824. In that year the place was visited by Rev. Th. Heyden, who continued to supply the congregation several years. There was no resident priest until 1850, when Rev. Joseph Theresia Gezowsky became the pastor. His successors have been : Revs. Richard Brown, T. Tamchina, Frederick Seneca, Patrick Brown, Robert Byrn ; Norbert Bausch, O.C.C .; A. H. Kammer, O.C.C .; Joseph Walsh, O.C.C .; Anastasius Peters, O.C.C .; and Norbert Bausch, O.C.C., 1877.

The members composing the congregation are about one hundred families, mainly of Ger- man descent. The number of sabbath-school scholars is between seventy-five and one hun- dred.

The first part of the church, 25×35 feet, of

stone, was erected in 1825. It was dedicated January 1, 1826. In 1870 the building was en- larged, making its dimensions 25× 75 feet, and in 1880, a steeple, eighty-two feet high, was added.

The church has been greatly strengthened since 1870, when the Carmelite fathers took charge of it, Rev. Norbert Bausch, O.C.C., then becoming pastor. All the improvements in the church buildings have been made during his administration ; and besides those above mentioned, a brick house, 40X 40 feet, and three stories high, has been built and paid for. The church is highly prosperous at present.

Among the original members of St. John's church were : Anthony Luken, Francis McGirr, Jacob Riffle, Michael Hughes, Patrick Rice and their families.

Rev. Norbert Bausch, pastor of the New Bal- timore Catholic church, was born in Prussia, and educated at Annapolis and Cumberland Maryland. He was ordained to the priesthood at Baltimore, Maryland, June 29, 1869.

Union Church .- The Union church, at Mount Healthy was erected about 1850, by the Lu- therans, Methodists and United Brethren. It is a frame building, and cost about six hundred dollars. The first minister of the United Brethren was Rev. John Sidman. The first trustees were : John Black, of the Methodists ; John Ware, of the Luther- ans ; and William Barick, of the United Brethren. The Lutherans now have a member- ship of about twenty, and the United Brethren about thirty. The sabbath school is at present entirely under the control of the United Brethren, and numbers about forty pupils.

G REENVILLE township was organized T from a portion of Southampton in 1812. It contains a small population, which mainly depends upon agriculture for support. No mineral deposits have yet been developed. Limestone of a fine quality is known to exist in abundance.

Samuel Finley and his brother William were the first settlers of the township. Samuel's farm is now owned by Hon. A. H. Coffroth, of Somer- set. Other early settlers were : David Miller, George Clingaman, Michael Varner, Peter Houtzel, Michael Houtzel, George Houtzel and Christian Lint.

This entire region was densely wooded, and in early years afforded shelter to game of all kinds. The pioneers were generally adept in the use of the rifle, and found no difficulty in procuring supplies of fresh meat at nearly all times of the year. But in other respects they were not so fortunate. They were in the midst of a lonely wilderness, without any roads, except bridle-paths, to connect them with the outer world ; they were obliged to work diligently, early and late, to clear their fields and plant them ; and as for educational, religious and social privileges, for many years they were entirely without them. Only the rudest kinds of farming implements were in use ; hoes and forks manufactured by blacksmiths, wooden plows, wooden harrows, the sickle and the mattock were the chief tools. Flax and woolen goods, home-made ; moccasins and shoes made by some itinerant shoemaker, and buckskin pantaloons were the clothes worn. Furniture was scanty and simple ; benches, tables and bedsteads made by the settlers themselves were deemed good enough to furnish houses which were built without the use of nails or boards.

TAXABLES, 1813.

According to the tax-list for 1813, the num- ber of acres of cleared land in the township was small, each farm containing from one to ten acres cleared. The following inhabitants had

John Engle, who was born in Elk Lick town- ship in 1786, died in 1875. He built a sawmill on the farm in Greenville township, now owned by his son Solomon, in 1818. Solomon now owns the farm of three hundred and eighty acres, having purchased it in 1846. He has a chopping-mill on the place, which he built in 1858. Mr. Solomon Engle taught the first school in the township, in a house on the farm of John and Samuel Hochstetler, about three miles northwest of Pocahontas. He has served as justice of the peace, and has been school- director for twenty years.

David Miller was born in Frederick county, Maryland, in 1775. He settled in Greenville township in 1802, on an unimproved farm, which he purchased from John Welsh. Mr. Miller made the first clearing, and improved the farm. It is now owned by Mrs. Catharine Miller. David Miller was a blacksmith by trade. He died in 1856. He married Fannie Livengood, who bore twelve children, four of whom are living. Peter, his son, born in 1808, is living on a farm which he purchased in 1830. The land was formerly owned by Thomas Vick- roy and Henry Wertz.

Christian Stoner emigrated from Germany in

the latter part of the last century, and settled in Brother's Valley, where he followed the trade of a miller. He died in 1823, at the age of eighty-five. His son Isaac was born in Lancas- ter county, where the family lived before coming to Somerset county. In migrating to this county they were obliged to ford the Susquehanna, and Isaac, who was then a boy, clung to the coupling of the wagon, and was nearly drowned in cross- ing. He followed farming and milling in this county. He died in 1842, at the age of seventy- five. He married Elizabeth Shunk, and had eleven children : Abraham, Joseph, Isaac, Tobias, Jacob and Alexander, deceased ; and Charles, Noah, Chauncy, Andrew and Drusilla (Ohley), living. Alexander died in Libby pris- on, during the rebellion. Andrew J. also served in the army, in Co. D, 2d bat. Penn. and Balt. Inf., from March to May, 1865.

Andrew J. Stoner moved from Brother's Valley to Greenville township in 1866, and has since been following his trade, blacksmithing, in Pocahontas. He has served several years as school-director, and has been justice of the peace ever since 1867, excepting one year. He was postmaster from 1874 until 1879.

Daniel Yutzy was born in Germany, in 1807, emigrated to America in 1827, and settled in Greenville township, on the farm where he now lives, in 1836. Mr. Yutzy purchased his farm from John Lint. He has reared a family of six sons and six daughters. Four of his sons served in the late war. His first wife was Anna Bren- neman ; his second, Magdalena Brenneman. All his children are living except two daughters. His eldest son is Col. E. D. Yutzy, of Ursina.

Christian Lint, a native of Franklin county, came to Greenville township in 1816. The progress of settlement had been very slow, and he is accounted an early settler. He was a cooper by trade. He died in 1852, at the age of eighty-six. His wife was Elizabeth Lichte- berger, and their children were : Jacob, Daniel and Gideon, living; Christian, John, Conrad, Joseph and Elizabeth (Baker), dead. The parents of Christian Lint, Sr., came from Ger- many, and were sold for their passage money. The mother labored six years to pay the debt; the father, probably, not quite so long. Jacob Lint, who is still living, and the oldest man in the township, was born in Somerset township, this county, in 1796, and has resided in Green- ville township since 1816. He followed cooper-

ing seven years, then bought his father's farm, on which he still lives. Mr. Lint has been a member of the Reformed church over fifty years. His son, Joseph J. Lint, farmed for his father until 1849, and has since been at work for himself. His farm contains two hundred and seventy-seven acres, about one hundred and fifty of which are cleared, and in a good condition. Mr. Lint has served as township assessor, and was school director nearly fifteen years.

The Lint farm was bought from John Meese by Christian Lint. Meese erected a sawmill on the place, which is still in operation, having been twice rebuilt, in 1837 and 1846.

Frederick Durr, an enterprising and promi- nent citizen, emigrated from Germany and settled in Pocahontas in 1867. He kept store in Poca- hontas from 1871 to 1876, and has since been keeping hotel. Formerly he was engaged in carpentry. Mr. Durr has served as township audi- tor, school director, and is at present constable.

The first blacksmith in the township was Peter Keifer, who erected a shop on his land, one mile west of Pocahontas, in 1806. The shop was burned over fifty years ago.

The first distillery in the township was erect- ed in 1792, by Peter Deal, an early settler, and his sons. There have been no distilleries oper- ated in Greenville for some years.

The first sawmill was erected on the present farm of Jacob P. Miller, by John Klink. At present there are three steam sawmills in oper- ation in the township. They are owned by Beck Brothers, Rosenberger Brothers and Jacob P. Miller.

CHURCHES.

The first church in the township was erected by the citizens as a union meeting-house about 1810, and was principally occupied by the Pres- byterians and the Lutherans. It was also used as a schoolhouse. The old building stood about a mile and a half northwest of Pocahontas. It was of logs, and the shingles were fastened on by means of wooden pins driven into holes made with a gimlet.

Probably the first preacher was Rev. Hunger, who preached in the farmhouse of Peter Deal. There are at present two church edifices in the township - one owned by the Reformed and Lutherans, and the other by the German Bap- tists or Brethren. The Reformed and Lutheran church was erected in 1848, at a cost of twelve hundred dollars, on land presented to the con- gregation by Jacob Deal.

The Brethren church was erected in 1855, on a lot given by George Clingaman. The cost of the house was four hundred dollars. The pres- ent minister is E. K. Hostetler. This is a branch of the Meyersdale church.

POCAHONTAS.

Pocahontas, the only collection of houses in Greenville township, was laid out about 1845 by Samuel M. Heller, surveyor, on land then owned by Daniel Yutzy. The place at present contains one hotel, one store, one blacksmith and one carpenter's shop.

Charles Miller built the first house in Poca- hontas in 1843. It was a log building and was kept as a hotel. It burned down about 1875, and Mr. A. J. Stoner has erected a fine dwelling- house upon its site.

Jacob Lint and Gabriel Miller built the first store about 1852. The building was burned in 1875, and in 1876 Frederick Durr erected his hotel upon the same lot.

The postoffice at Pocahontas was established about 1851. The postmasters have been B. J. Joder, A. J. Stoner, Solomon Houtzel and Sallie Houtzel.

RELIGIOUS HISTORY.

Reformed Church. - Greenville Reformed church was organized by Rev. D. J. H. Kieffer, probably in 1820. Among the original members were Elder Christian Lint and wife, Deacon Jacob Lint, John Lint and wife, Peter Engle and Jacob Garlitz. The pastors have been Revs. D. J. H. Kieffer, 1825 ; H. E. F. Voigt, 1827-8 ; H. G. Ibbeken, 1836-41 ; Benjamin Knepper, 1846-74 ; L. D. Steckel, 1874-81 ; J. M. Schick, 1881, present pastor. From its organization the congregation worshiped in an old log church and schoolhouse, now burned down. The pres- ent house of worship was erected in 1848, at a cost of one thousand dollars. Present number of members, one hundred and six. Sabbath- school scholars, eighty.

of bottom-land. In natural scenery, the township presents much that is attractive. Agriculture and lumbering are the principal industries. No impor- tant mineral resources have yet been developed.

Few farms were settled early, as the rugged features of this locality were not especially attractive to the pioneers. Jonathan Long came to this township, probably as early as 1783, and settled on eight hundred acres, making the first improvement in the northern part of the township. He died and was buried on the the farm. Another early settler, probably co- temporary with Long, was Richard Geiger.

Most of the improvements in this township have been made within the last fifty years, and nearly all of the farms are occupied by those who have moved hither from the older settled por- tions of the county. Along Will's creek led one of the earliest routes of travel. It was over this road that Braddock's army passed in its memorable expedition of 1755. The remains of a rude fortification or breastworks are still to be seen at a point on Will's creek, near the center of Larimer township. This defense is supposed to have been constructed by Brad- dock's forces.

The following is the assessor's list of taxa- bles in Larimer township in the year 1854 : Geo. Arnold, Henry Albright; Thos. Abbernatty, merchant; Wmn. Adams; Henry Abey, tinner ; widow Bittner, Wm.
