JOHN J. ENGLE.


John J. Engle, a prominent and progressive agriculturist, miller and lumberman of Elk Lick township, traces his lineage from German ancestors, who were among the very earliest set- tlers of that township. Clement Engle, born in Germany, was the American ancestor. He came to this country prior to the Revolutionary war, fought with the colonists and did his part in throwing off the yoke of the tyrant. He afterward settled in Elk Lick township and acquired considerable property, land, timber, etc. This land has always been in the possession of the family and is the homestead farm of the Engle family. Clement Engle married and was the father of the following children : John, see forward; Clement, Peter, Samuel, Jacob, Frederick, Martin, Adam, Susan and Elizabethi.


John Engle, eldest son of Clement Engle, was born in Elk Lick, Pennsylvania, January 7, 1786. He was a farmer and held the family possessions and added thereto. He was a con- sistent member of the Reformed church, and politically an inde- pendent Democrat. He married (first) Salome, daughter of Solomon Sterner, of Garrett county, Maryland, and their chil-

He was reared on the farm and attended the public schools until he was sixteen years old. From that age until twenty-three he was an active worker on the farm in his father's employ. Dur- ing the great war of the rebellion, Mr. Engle enlisted in the Union army and was attached to Company K, One Hundred and Seventy-first Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. He partici- pated in several skirmishes and raids and luckily came out un- injured. At the close of his term of enlistment he was honor- ably discharged from the service August 6, 1863, with the rank of second sergeant. In 1865 Mr. Engle was included in a draft made on Pennsylvania for troops, but before reaching the front General Lee had surrendered and the greatest of all civil wars was over. Since laying aside the sword for the pruning hook, Mr. Engle has resided on the homestead. At first he managed the farm and later became its owner by purchase, and in addi- tion to the cultivation of his farm, which consists of three hun- dred and five acres, he operates the saw and grist mill built by his grandfather in 1806. There has never been a time in the history of this fine property when it has been the home of any family other than the Engles.


Mr. Engle is a consistent and influential member of the Reformed church in Salisbury, of which he was organist for twenty years and now an elder. He cast his first vote for Abra- ham Lincoln and has always upheld the principles of Repub- licanism.

"Fellow citizens of Somerset county: Having spent the bloom of my youth in six campaigns, suffering cold and hard- ship to assist in wresting liberty from a tyrant, and still being willing to serve you, and being solicited by numerous friends to offer myself as a candidate for the office of sheriff at the ensning general election, I trust a soldier of the Revolution will not appeal to Americans in vain. And should I be honored with a majority of your votes I pledge myself to discharge the duties of the office with generosity and impartiality." Signed, Chris- tian Shockey, May 15, 1822. At the election he was defeated, his successful opponent being Isaac Ankeny. Mary (Welsh) Shockey, wife of Christian Shockey, survived him, dying at the age of eighty-six.

Jacob K. Beeghley (father) was born near Beachdale in 1796, on his father's farm, which he subsequently purchased. Jacob was always a tiller of the soil, and met with good success in this line. In politics he was a Whig, and served as county supervisor. He had some skill in medicine and practiced con- siderably among his neighbors. In religious faith he was a member of the German Baptist church. He was married three times : First, in 1820, to Catherine Blucher, who was born in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, and received her education in the public schools. She, also, was a devout member of the Ger- man Baptist church. Of this union five children were born, three boys and two girls, among them being Peter, of whom later.

He then married Polly Schrock, of Somerset county, and of this union there were no children. Mr. Beeghley died in 1856, at the age of sixty years.


At an early age young Peter Beeghley was called upon to assist with the farm work, and received such schooling as the common schools of that day afforded. When he was twenty- three years of age he bought the home farm from his father, and has since engaged in the cultivation and improvement of same. He has devoted his attention largely to the raising of a good grade of livestock, horses, cows and sheep, in which he has met with the most gratifying success. He is a very progressive and intelligent farmer, being prompt to adopt all modern farm machinery as soon as placed on the market, and was among the first men in the county to use a mower drawn by horses. Mr. Beeghley takes great pride in the farm that his grandfather and father in turn owned, and even now, at the advanced age of eiglity-two, may be seen daily doing his share in the farm work. He is in excellent health and remarkably well preserved for a man of his years. In political relations he has always been an ardent Republican, and has served his township as school director. He aided substantially in building the branch railroad from Garrett to Berlin, and is a stockholder in one of the Berlin banks. He is a member of the German Baptist church and a deacon in same.

By so doing he incurred the displeasure of many of his neighbors, but was firm in his adherence to what he believed to be right. Despite his limited education, he was a man of wide reading, close ob- servation and liberal views, especially in the cause of education, of which he was an ardent friend and supporter.
