and self-sacrificing services. He fell asleep April 5, 1876.

The present pastor took charge in 1871. Ten years later the charge was again divided and now consists of the single congregation at Bed- ford.

The old church was torn down in 1881, since which time the congregation has been worship- ing in the Presbyterian church and in the court-house. The building now under process of erection is due in a large measure to the Christian liberality of George Riddle Oster, who bequeathed for that purpose four thousand dollars. It is to be a brick structure, 38×60 feet, with a Sunday-school room, 30X35 feet, on the northwest side.

The Bedford circuit of the Methodist Episco- pal church was formed in 1809, and it is alto- gether probable that the first organization was effected here at about that time. The society is not in possession of any early records, hence we can only deal with recollections and some facts obtained from an early pastor, Rev. D. Hartman, concerning pastors stationed on this circuit from 1809 to 1837.

When Mr. Daniel J. Shuck came to Bedford from Cumberland, Maryland, in 1825, the few Methodists met for worship in the old colonial court-house, though a church edifice (a small one-story brick structure) was then being built: It was completed in 1826. Among those who were members at that time were : Henrietta Fishburn, an old lady ; Daniel Lybarger and his daughters, Rosanna, Margaret (Cruseburg) and Hester; William Creichbaum and wife ; Elizabeth Daugherty, a daughter of Mrs. Fish- burn ; Juliana Piper; Daniel Shuck and his wife Susan ; Henry Hoblitzel and Jacob K. Miller. The preacher in charge was Dennis B. Dorsey, assisted by John A. Gere, a single man. William Lysinger, Jesse Keely and Albert Grubb joined soon after. Daniel J. Shuck and his wife became members in the fall of 1830.

About 1839 an addition was attached to the rear of the original church structure, making a long, narrow building, which was occupied until removed to give place to the present house. The latter was built during Rev. Mr. Gibson's pas- torate, at a cost of about ten thousand dollars.

During the years from 1809 to 1836 the fol- lowing named pastors officiated on the Bedford circuit : John Gill Watt, 1809 ; Jesse Pinnell, 1810 ; Jacob Snyder, 1811 ; John Watson, 1812 ;

William Butler, 1813; John Bull, 1814; Robert Hanna, 1815; James Reily, 1816; James Sewell, 1817-18; William Barnes, 1819 ; James Moore and .B. De Forrest, 1820 ; Bennett Dowler and B. De Forrest, 1821 ; Jacob Larkin, 1822 ; John Tannahill and William Hank, 1823 ; John Tannahill and Jesse Ches- ney, 1824; Dennis B. Dorsey and John A. Gere, 1825 ; Isaac Collins and William O. Luns- den, 1826 ; Isaac Collins and Jacob Doub, 1827 ; N. B. Mills and J. Forrest, 1828 ; T. N. W. Monroe and J. McEnally, 1829 ; Thomas Lar- kin and J. V. Rigdon, 1830 ; H. Best and John Houseweart, 1831 ; Thomas Larkin and J. Mc- Enally, 1832 ; John Rhodes and Z. Jordan, 1833 ; N. P. Cunningham, 1834 ; B. Hartman, 1835-6.

ST. JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH, BEDFORD.

Although the earliest services of the Christian religion in what is now Bedford were those of the Episcopal church, being held by the chap- lains of the British troops occupying the fort (Raystown) in and prior to 1755, there was no organized parish here until 1861, when the courts granted a charter constituting the parish of St. James to Hon. Alexander King, Espy L. Anderson, Dr. Charles U. Hickok, Dr. George W. Anderson, William Watson Anderson and John Watson, vestrymen.

A parcel of ground on East Penn street, lots Nos. 130 and 131 on the borough plan, was devised to "The Church " by Gov. John Penn, of the Province of Pennsylvania, when the town of Bedford was laid out by his sur- veyor-general, John Lukens, Esq., in June, 1766, on his private estate - Penn's Manor.

The lots were never occupied by the church save as a burial-place, the earliest English set- tlers and the officers at the fort using it for that purpose. Judges Dougherty and Scott, and Col. Terrence Campbell, of His Majesty's Highland- ers, with their families, being among those in- terred there.

At a later day the property fell into private possession, and finally, when the common school law of Pennsylvania went into operation, a brick schoolhouse was erected thereon, by permission of the quasi occupant. This building, on the erection of the present public schoolhouse, was used as a private dwelling.

By due process of law, the vestry of St. James church being, as the courts decided, " the successors of the Church of England," obtained

Job Mann "

HON. JOB MANN.

Hon. Job Mann, a son of Jacob (who was the oldest son of Capt. Andrew Mann, of revolutionary fame), was born in the " Tonoloway Settlement," or a region now embraced by Betbel township, Fulton county, Pennsylvania, March 31, 1795. When sixteen years of age he became a clerk in the house of Messrs. Brent & Blackwell, extensive dealers in general merchandise, in the town of Hancock, Maryland. After remaining there two years, or until 1813, he removed to Bed- ford, Pennsylvania, and as a student entered the academy (then just opened) in charge of Rev. James Wilson. The building, which was then and for many years after occupied as an institution of learn- ing, is still standing on the northwest corner of Penn and Thomas streets. The academy was opened under the most favorable auspices, and Mr. Mann has been heard to remark that among those who were fellow students with him were young Ringgold (afterward known as Gen. Ringgold), the Van Lears, Jenifers, Campbells and others from Maryland ; Robert J. Walker, of Bedford, Pennsylvania (afterward secretary of the United States treasury department), and Charles Ogle, of Somerset, Pennsylvania. In 1816 Mr. Mann was appointed county commissioners' clerk, and soon after deputy United States revenue collector, to collect a tax for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the war of 1812-15. In October, 1823, he was elected prothonotary of Bedford county, an office which he held continuously until October, 1835. He then resigned to take his seat as a member of the twenty-fourth congress (1835-7), he having been elected in October, 1834, to represent the counties of Bedford, Cam- bria and Somerset in the United States house of representatives. On April 20, 1839, he was admitted to the Bedford county bar. He was elected a member of the state house of representatives in 1842, 1843 and 1844, and declined to be a candidate for a fourth term. In October, 1846, he was again elected to congress from the nineteenth district (then composed of Bedford, Cambria and Westmoreland counties). He was reelected from the same district in 1848, and served through the thirty-first congress. Then, though strongly urged, he declined another nomination. He died October 8, 1873.

HON. DAVID MANN.

Hon. David Mann was born February 26, 1782, in what was known as the " Tonoloway settlement," in Bethel township, Fulton county, then a part of Bedford. His father, Capt. Andrew Mann, was a native of Germany, where he was born in 1739. In 1750 he came to this country, landing in Philadelphia in August of that year. He was a pioneer of the above region ; the date of his coming bither is not known, but it was some time previous to the revolutionary war. During the war he raised a company of men, and among the num- ber was the proprietor of Hancock, Maryland. The company was attached to a regiment of regulars and did good service during the war. At its close Capt. Mann returned to his home, where he died at an advanced age. David Mann inherited from his father a decided taste for military affairs, and was first known in public life as a major in the Pennsylvania militia. At the age of twenty-two be was elected one of the commissioners of Bedford county, which position he filled acceptably until 1807. In 1809 he was appointed, by Gov. Simon Snyder, prothonotary, clerk of courts, register and recorder, and came to Bedford to reside. In 1812 he was reappointed, and again in 1815. At the expiration of his term of office he was elected senator of the district composed of Bedford, Somerset and Cambria counties. In 1824 he was appointed by Gov. Schultz auditor- general, and so well did be discharge the duties of the office that in 1828 he was reappointed. In 1832 he returned to Bedford and en- gaged in mercantile pursuits, taking but little active interest in politics, but exercising a controlling influence by his judgment and foresight. He was a man of large capacity, sound judgment and strong perception, which, coupled with the strictest integrity, made him a public servant of more than ordinary value. He died in Bed- ford, April 13, 1859. in the seventy-eighth year of his age. He wes married to Miss Elizabeth Farquhar, of Frederick county, Mary- land, December 20, 1810. Seven children were the result of this union : James M., Benjamin F., Elmira M., Sarah E., William F., Bernard and David F.

possession of the property, and finding the lots unsuitable for church building purposes, and being duly authorized by an enactment of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, passed in 1866, they removed the dead to the new cem- etery, sold the lots, and purchased the present church site, on the corner of Richard and John streets, and at once proceeded to build the beautiful Gothic stone building now standing there.

The corner-stone of this church was laid in September, 1866, by Rt. Rev. Bishop Lee, of the diocese of Delaware, the bishop of Pennsyl- vania, Rt. Rev. Wm. Bacon Stevens, D.D., LL.D., being, at the time, in Europe. The Ma- sonic fraternity were present on the occasion and assisted in the ceremonies. Rev. Alfred J. Barrow, the rector of the parish, and Dr. Hickok, of the vestry, being members of the craft.

The church building was in due time finished, and being free from debt, as the canons of the Episcopal church require, was consecrated on the 2d day of October, 1879, by Rt. Rev. M. A. De Wolfe Howe, D.D., LL.D., bishop of the diocese of Central Pennsylvania, in which see the parish of Bedford now belongs.

The rectors of the parish from its organiza- tion to the present have been as follows, in the succession named : Rev. Alfred J. Barrow, Rev. J. B. Pedelupe, Rev. Wm. Jarrett, Rev. Robert F. Murray, Rev. Wm. Preston, D.D., Rev. Richard J. Osborne, M.D., Rev. J. Mc- Bride Sterrett, Rev. Wm. Chauncey Langdon, D.D., who is the present rector.

Rev. Dr. Preston died while rector, and Rev. Wm. Jarrett is also dead.

The present vestry are : Geo. Smith, Hon. Jno. M. Reynolds, church wardens ; Wm. Hart- ley, Solomon S. Metzger, John S. Bowers, Thomas A. Roberts, Dr. C. N. Hickok (clerk).

CHAPTER XXV. BEDFORD TOWNSHIP.

Formed as a Township in Cumberland County - Derivation of Name - Its Great Extent Originally - Residents of 1771 - The Taxables in 1796 - Personal Mention of Present Inhabit- ants and their Ancestors - Towns, etc. - Churches.

1 THIS township derived its name from Fort Bedford, and was formed as a division of Cumberland county as early as 1768. Indeed, there are reasons for believing that the year

mentioned witnessed this rather unimportant event. The original limits were very extensive (Frankstown township, now in Blair county, having been formed from Bedford and Barree in 1875), but in consequence of the destruction of the Cumberland county court-house by fire, on the night of March 23, 1841, many old and valuable records were irreparably lost, and with them, too, all knowledge of the extent originally, and date of erection of Bedford, Cumberland* and Colerain townships disap- peared forever.

As to who was the first settler within the limits of the present township of Bedford, where he settled, and from whence he came, there is no recorded evidence. The following deposition, however, establishes the fact that the first improvement on what is now known as the Silver farm, lying three miles north of Bed- ford, was made about 1761. Andrew Glass was undoubtedly the pioneer in that section of the township.

Tussey's Mountain as its eastern and the Alle- ghenies as its western boundaries. In a general chapter entitled "The White Men as Settlers " will be found a complete list of the residents of the township in 1772, and to that chapter the reader is referred for much information per- taining to the early settlers of this immediate locality. Nearly a quarter of a century later (or in 1795) the town of Bedford was incorpo- rated as a borough. In consequence the assess- ment rolls of 1796 designated whether the taxables were residents of the borough or country. Hence, according to the rolls, the tax-payers of the township in 1796 were as follows :

The township then contained one hundred and thirty-two. dwelling-houses, and ninety-six barns, nearly all of which, both houses and barns, were constructed of logs.

Of present residents and their ancestry we give the following :

Joseph Walter, a native of France, was another very early settler in Dutch Corner. He was a farmer and his wife was a Miss Claar. Their children were Samuel, Jacob, Henry, Matthias, John and Barbara (Imler). Of these children, Jacob married Mary Dibert, and their offspring were Samuel, Daniel, Jacob, Jr., Mary A. (Zim- mers) and Anna M. (Phillips). Jacob Walter, Sr., died in 1861.

In 1851 Jacob Walter, Jr., married Susana, daughter of Daniel Sill. He occupied the Smith farm on Dunning's creek from 1858 to" 1856, then purchased the Russell farm, which he

sold in 1866, and bought a portion of the old George Sill homestead, where he now resides.

George Zimmers, son of Anthony, was born in Dutch Corner. In 1847 he married Elizabeth Fetter. Soon after he purchased an unimproved tract of land from Michael Fetter, which is now one of the most productive farms in the locality known as Dutch Corner.

About the year 1812 John Phillips came from Franklin county, Pennsylvania. Subsequently he became the innkeeper at the old "Ritchey stand," and in later years presided as host of an inn at Bloody Run. He finally removed to Snake Spring, where he also kept a public-house until his death, which occurred in 1825. His wife was a Miss Eve Benchoof, of Franklin county, and the children born to them were Jane (Shaffer), Samuel, John, Mary (Gephart) and William. The last-named son was born in Snake Spring, in the old stone house on the Hartley farm, In 1847 he married Anna M. Barnhart, and in the spring of 1855 he purchased a farm of Henry Miller's heirs in Dutch Corner. Of the children of William and Anna M. Phil- lips- Mary J. (James), John B., Anna M. (Walter), Eva C., Henrietta, Rose M. (Fickes) and Carrie L. (Henderson)- John B. is the only son. Born and reared in Bedford township, he is engaged in agricultural pursuits on the home farm. In 1878 he married Sarah C., daughter of Henry S. Sill.

John Shaffer was an early resident in that portion of the county known as Union township. Subsequently he located in Snake Spring valley, where he died in 1871. His children were Adam, Rachel, Henry, Catharine (Whetstone), Samuel, Margaret (Bowser) and John H. Adam, the oldest son and child of John Shaffer, is yet a resident of Snake Spring township, where his children -Simon L., Catharine (Diehl), John H. L., Jacob B., Mary E. (England), Rachel (Ott) and Sarah A. (Imler) - were born.

John Silver was a resident of Frederick county, Maryland, prior to the revolutionary war, and during that struggle three of his sons served in the American army. In 1790, accompanied by his family, he removed from Maryland and settled at Stonerstown, Bedford county, Penn- sylvania. His children were: Samuel, James, John and Richard, all of whom finally located in the State of Kentucky except Richard. The latter married Ann Longstreth, and as his second wife a Mrs. Taylor (nee Elizabeth Coche). The

children of Richard and Ann Silver were Elizabeth (Crissman), Sarah (Foster), Ann (Stuckey), Hannah (Peoples and Timons), Susan (Wallack), Rebecca (Stuckey), John, who mar- ried Mary Koontz, and Asa, who married Rachel James. All lived to be aged men and women, and but three now survive - Ann, Susan and Asa. To Asa and Rachel Silver were born eight children, of whom Richard, John, Espy, and Sarah (wife of Russell Trout) are living. Throughout a long life, Asa Silver has been known as a good citizen and prosperous farmer. His sons, Richard and John, also his son-in-law and daughter, are now well-to-do resi- dents of the State of Nebraska.

John Henderson, the father of ex-Sheriff James A. Henderson, was a native of County Derry, Ireland, and his wife, Sarah Sterling McGowen, was born in County Antrim. In 1816, accom- panied by his wife and two children, John Hen- derson came to America and settled at St. Thomas, Franklin county, Pennsylvania, where he remained until 1856, when he removed to the State of Iowa. Born August 19, 1786, he died August 6, 1861. His children were Mary, Mary J. (Hoffman), Hugh J., Elizabeth, (Litz), Sarah (Sheller), Phœbe (Moore), Lydia A. (Leffert), James A., Margaret C. (Litz), Sarah C., and Adam H. Of this family John and James A. Henderson, only, have been identified with the interests and history of Bedford county. The latter was born in Franklin county, Pennsyl- vania, in 1829. In 1853, he became a resident of Bedford, and during the same year married Emma, daughter of Jacob Over, of that town. Their children living are Sarah E., John A., Emma, Lydia, Joseph and Jacob (twin brothers), and Maggie, and James A., dead. Mr. Hender- son was elected sheriff of the county in 1875.

Simon Stuckey, the ancestor of the Bedford county family of this name, came from Virginia, and settled at or near Bloody Run (now Everett) in an early day. There he married Elizabeth Snyder, and they were the parents of seventeen children who became men and women - David, Jacob, Simon, Daniel, Margaret (Smith), Eliza- beth (Snyder), Samuel, Charles, William, Susan (Carney), Mary (Taylor), George, Rosa (Lutz), Sophia (Gump), Abraham, Joseph and John. Of these children George and Mrs. Sophia Gump (mother of Dr. S. H. Gump) are the only sur- vivors. Simon Stuckey, the father, died about 1842.

HISTORY OF BEDFORD COUNTY.

Charles Stuckey, son of Simon, was born in Snake Spring valley in 1801, where he remained until twenty-one years of age. Afterward he resided for a few years at Stuckeyville, in Napier township, but, in 1846, located upon a farm near the present village of Wolfsburg, where he re- mained until his death, which occurred in July, 1872. On September 13, 1830, he married Miss Rebecca Silver, and to them were born the fol- lowing named children : Anna S. (Guthrie), Richard S., Simon H., Emma M. (Scott), Will- iam A., Amanda R., Charles W. S. and Vir- ginia E.

F. M. Bizler is a native of Bedford county. His hammer and anvil have aroused the echoes about Wolfsburg since 1857. Among the first settlers of the township was William Todd. The time of his emigration is not known ; an approxi- mate date would be about 1776, although he may have settled before that time. According to family tradition, he was frequently obliged to avail himself of the protection of the fort to escape annihilation by the Indians, who were very troublesome at' the time. For a further notice of this family see biographical sketch on another page.

Joshua Pierson. Sr., came with his parents from Ireland when but nine years of age, and lived for a few years in Chester county, Penn- sylvania. He became a resident of the region now known as Adams county, in 1784, and in 1791 removed to Bedford county. Here he pur- chased two hundred acres of land of one John Wrightand passed the remainder of his days as a farmer. His first wife, Mary Allison, was mar- ried in 1784 and died in 1796. In 1800 he married, as a second wife, Elizabeth Hartford, of Bedford township. The children by the first marriage were Joseph, James, Joshua, Jr., Mary and Thomas ; by the second marriage, Matthew, John, Isaac and Anna. Of the nine children Anna alone survives. Matthew Pier- son, son of Joshua, Sr., was born on the old homestead near Wolfsburg, and followed farm- ing until his death, which occurred in 1872. In 1849 he married Anna E. Varrick, of Bed- ford township. Their children were Joshua, Mary (Otto), Isaac, Elizabeth (Hart), Esther A. (Mundon), William B., Naomi (Silver), Eva (McClure), Hartford and Jennie (Edwards).
