The year after leaving school he aided his father on the farm, and in 1852 began school-teach- ing in the country, first in Newportville and later at Eddington, Bristol and various places until 1865. He was engaged to teach in the select school of William Fewsmith at Tenth and Chestnut streets, Philadel- phia, where he remained five years, and was then elected to the principalship of the first section grammar school, remaining there for five years, when he was trans- ferred to the Lincoln grammar school, Twentieth street and Fairmount avenue. In 1886 he was made supervising princi- pal of the Thaddeus Stephens Combined school, where he was engaged in excellent work for many years. His record is ex- ceptional, for he has taught school con- tinuously for over fifty years, each year gaining to a greater degree the confidence of the school patrons and students. The supreme delight of his life was to re- ceive letters from all parts of the coun- try from his old pupils, many now holding important positions of trust in the busy world. August 25. 1857, Mr. Ridge mar- ried Rosannah Kirk, of Bensalem, the daughter of Simpson and Anna (Grim) Kirk, the granddaughter of Benjamin and

Rosanna (Carr) Kirk. The maternal

1876, when, having purchased a lot in the village of Forest Grove, he erected sub- stantial buildings thereon and made it his home for the remainder of his days. He died August 30, 1900. Mr. Gray was a prosperous and successful man, and left his family in comfortable circumstances. In politics he was a Republican, but never held other than township offices; he was for many years a member of the school board, and was one of the best known men in his neighborhood.

FRIEDRICH STEEB. Throughout the length and breadth of the county there can be found no more loyal foreign-born citizen than Friedrich Steeb, of Levin. Mr. Steeb is a son of Friedrich and Magdaline (Magley) Steeb, natives of Germany, whose family consisted of the following children : Friedrich, mentioned at length hereinafter; John; Christopher; and Caro- line, who is the wife of Carl Colmer, of Trenton, New Jersey. The three sons are also residents of the United States.

Friedrich Steeb, son of Friedrich and Magdaline (Magley) Steeb, was born No- vember 21, 184. in Germany, and in 1870 emigrated to the United States. He set- tled in Gardenville, Pennsylvania, where he was employed by Nathan Fretz, and about twenty years ago purchased the old Kratz farm New Britain township.

Since that time he has been an enterpris- ing and successful agriculturist, his pros- perity being the result of the industry and thrift which he has exercised all his life. As a citizen he possesses the highest es- teen of all his neighbors. Politically he is a member of the Democratic party. In matters of religion he is identified with the German Lutheran church of Hilltown. Mr. Steeb married in Germany, Louise Haff- ner, a native of that country, and they are the parents of the following children : Charley, born November 6, 1866, in Ger- many, and died in Bucks county at the age of seven years; Annie, born August 17, 1870; Sophia, born August 9, 1872; and Friedrich D., born November 1, 1880, mar- ried Ellen Cassel, of Montgomery county, and has one child Laura. The Steeb fam- ily, it will be seen, is largely represented in the United States, where it has recruit- ed the ranks of our useful and loyal citi- zens.

ALFRED H. FAUST, proprietor of the Chalfont Creamery, one of the leading in- dustrial industries of the town of Chalfont, Pennsylvania, was born in Frederick town- ship, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, September 28, 1857, a son of Samuel and Mary Faust.

During his boyhood he obtained liberal educational advantages, attending the pub- lic schools of his native township and Norristown, also Washington Hall Semi- nary and Sumneytown Academy. The knowledge thus acquired thoroughly quali- fied him for the vocation of teaching, which he followed for two years. He then ac- cepted a position as superintendent of a creamery in his native township, retain- ing the same for six years, and also served in a similar capacity at Franklin for two years, and in the Union Creamery in Plumstead township, Bucks county. On April 1, 1894, Mr. Faust, in company with Mr. H. W. Gross, purchased the Chalfont Creamery, and they conducted business un- der the firm name of A. H. Faust & Co., Mr. Faust taking upon himself the active management of the same. Two years later Mr. Faust purchased his partner's in- terest in the business, and from then to the present time (1905) has successfully conducted the same on his own account. He is honorable and straightforward in all his transactions, and therefore well merits. the prosperity which has crowned his ef- forts. In 1900 he was elected justice of the peace, of which office he is still the in- cumbent, and he also served in the capacity of borough treasurer and school director. He adheres to the doctrines of the Lutheran church, in which body he holds membership and serves as trustee. His political alle- giance is given to the Republican party, and he is an honored member of the Knights of the Golden Eagle, and the Protective Order of Sons of America. Mr. Faust was married March 20, 1880, in.

Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, to Miss Clarissa Trumbower, a daughter of Elias and Rachel (Jones) Trumbower. Their children are: Olivia, wife of Charles Pier- son, Jr.,. and they are the parents of one child, Elizabeth Pierson; Laura, Irene, and Alfred H., Jr.

CHARLES MURRAY, following farm- ing in Warrington township, was born at Doylestown, April 6, 1862. His paternal grandfather, a tanner by trade, followed that pursuit throughout his entire life. He was of Irish lineage, but of Protestant faith, and he became one of the pioneer settlers of Bucks county, where he was well known as a man of industrious habits and straightforward dealing.

Mahlon Murray (2), his only child, was born and reared in Bucks county, spending the greater part of his life in Bucking- ham and in Doylestown. He worked in his father's tannery and also engaged in farm labor. After arriving at years of maturity he was married and carried on agricultural pursuits in Buckingham town- ship until the civil war was inaugurated. His patriotic spirit

was aroused and prompted his enlistment in

tlie Union army, and he became a soldier in the south, where it is supposed he was killed in bat- tle or died from wounds. No news was af- terward received from him and he un- doubtedly lies in an unmarked grave in southern soil. He had married Martha Beal, also a native of Bucks county, and after the death of her husband she care- fully reared her children, doing the best she could for them with her limited means. She afterward married Elias Slusher, a miative of Germany, and a tailor by trade, which pursuit he followed through the years of his active business career. He died in Bucks county, leaving three children : Lizzie, Ann, and William, but the last named died in childhood. The mother of Charles Murray was married a third time, becoming the wife of Abram Barndt, a tanner by trade, who also owned a farm at Quakertown and carried on agricultural pursuits in connection with the preparation of leather. There was one daughter by this marriage, Sarah Barndt. Mrs. Mar- tha Barndt is yet living at the age of sixty-four years. She is a daughter of John Beal, who was a farmer and laborer of Buckingham township. His children were: Martha, mother of Charles Murray ; Eleazer and Charles, who served in the civil war and are yet living; Mary, and Josephine. By her first marriage Mrs. Martha Barndt had two children, Charles Murray, and Maria, the wife of J. Ker- nechel, a moulder, living in Quakertown, Pennsylvania.

Charles Murray is an excellent type of the self-made man, for all that he has en- joyed and gained in life has come to him through his well-directed efforts and un- faltering perseverance. He began to carn

his living when only eight years of age in the employ of James M. Lacy, a promi- nent farmer, with whom he remained for six years, receiving in compensation for his services his board, clothing and limited educational privileges. He was afterward employed as a farm hand in Buckingham township, where he remained for a year, and subsequently entered the employ of H. Acre in Warrington township. He has since resided in Warrington township, employed in various capacities with the ex- ception of a period of two years. He con- tinued to work as a farm hand until the time of his marriage in 1883. Subse- quently he and his wife entered the serv- ices of Abraham Clymer, with whom they remained for three years, and then rented the Lacy farm, which he conducted for three years. He afterward cultivated the George Garner farm for a year, and for seven years rented and operated the Scott farm, on the expiration of which period he purchased the old Grier homestead upon which he now resides. This com -. prises one hundred and twenty-three acres of well improved land and has been in his possession since 1898. The house is a commodious stone structure, and there are large barns and many substantial out- buildings. Thre is a spring of constantly flowing water, which is piped to the house and barns, and there are many inodern conveniences on the place which is pleas- antly located four miles from Doylestown on the pike and trolley line. Mr. Murray has made splendid improvements on his place, including the building of an addition to the barn and the erection of a large silo tank. The work of repair is continu- ally being carried forward and the farm has been placed under a high state of cul- tivation, so that the property is now at- tractive in appearance and valuable. He carries on general agricultural pursuits and in connection with the tilling of the soil keeps a herd of cows. Labor is the keynote of his success, and his untiring effort guided by strong and honorable pur- pose has been the foundation upon which he has builded his prosperity. Questions affecting the general welfare awaken the attention of Mr. Murray, who gives politi- cal support to the Republican party and has filled some township offices. He has served altogether as supervisor for seven years, his first incumbency covering two years, while later service has covered seven years. At length he retired from the office, re- fusing another nomination. Every public duty devolving upon him has been promptly and efficiently discharged, and he is known as a valued citizen of his com- munity. He belongs to the Royal Arcanum, and he and his wife are devoted members of the Baptist church.
