HARMONY BOROUGH.

Ziegler's tannery may be considered the successor of the original Economite tan- nery. He was followed later by J. Bowman as proprietor, but the business was finally abandoned.

HOTELS AND BUSINESS HOUSES.

- In 1835 Samuel Beam, the blacksmith, purchased the frame inn-building of 1806 from Abraham Ziegler, the consideration being seventy-five cents a day for ten years, or $2,737.50. The property was sold by the Beam estate, the building torn down, and in 1862 Jacob Schoene built a large brick house on the site for hotel purposes. The third story was subsequently added, and in 1ssF Beam & Dindinger became the landlords. In Jacob Kelker's tavern the Fourth of July banquet, described in the general history, was served. Henry Shepard, who gave up the trade of hatter to become a tavern keeper, was here in the " twenties," and in 1825 James Mehard built the Welcome Inn-an old hostelry, in which one or more of the Beams presided.

John Fleming kept the first store in the town after its sale to Abraham Zieg- ler. Later, Henry and John Schwartz began business, and were followed by George Howell, Alfred Pearce, Peter Otto, John and Isaac Latshaw, Reuben Musselman, E. L. Gillespie, Peffer & Randolph, Enslen & Haine, Peffer & Swain, Swain & Moyer, Swain & Householder, Swain & Bentle and G. D. Swain ; also Latshaw & Stamm and Milleman Brothers. These firms succeeded each other with various measures of success. At the close of 1894, the general stores of G. D. Swain and Milleman Brothers; . 1. Foehringer, tinner; F. R. Latshaw, and George Milleman : the hardware stores of George Dindinger and the Oil Well Supply Company ; the drug store of J. H. Huber ; the flour and feed store of F. B. Stiver ; the bakery of II. W. Bame ; the coal yard of A. Eppinger; the lum- ber business of H. M. Bentle & Company : the livery stables of AAlfred M. Wise. and the foundries, mills, machine, carriage, blacksmith and carpenter shops were all doing a thriving business.

BANKS.

The Harmony Savings Bank was incorporated in 1867, and organized a few months later, in 1868, with Alfred Pearce, president ; R. H. Palmer, treasurer ; George Beam, John Enslen, Henry Goehring. Joseph Schwartz, J. C. Scott, and the president and treasurer, directors. In 1877 Henry Goehring was elected president and George Beam treasurer. They, with Messrs. Pearce, Goehring, Enslen. Jacob Sleppy, David Ziegler, E. F. Winter and J. C. Scott were the directors. William Wilson presided in 1882, with H. M. Wise, cashier, who held the office from 1878 to 1884. tra and Abraham Stauffer. Alexander Stewart and other stockholders have been on the directory, while Henry Goehring has served as president of the institution.

The Harmony National Bank was organized in 1876, with W. H. Il. Riddle president, and H. J. Mitchell cashier. John Dindinger was one of the organizers. In 1882 Edward Mellon was president. Butler men were for a long time the principal stockholders and directors.

The Commercial Bank was established by S. E. Niece, March 1. 1892. He

was one of the early operators in this oil field and a well known man in banking circles. It lasted only a brief period.

POSTMASTERS AND JUSTICES.

Harmony and Zelienople have post offices now ; but they were not always so fortunate. In 1813 the old Tory postmaster of Zelienople, Andrew McClure, was tarred and feathered, and fled to Harmony. He caused the post office to follow him, and one of Rapp's men was appointed postmaster. After Abraham Ziegler came here, John Fleming, the poet, was appointed, holding the office until his removal to Zelienople, in 1835. The office followed him, and Harmony people had to walk to her rival's office for letters for many years. After the office was re-established, S. P. P. Young was appointed, and his successors have been as follows : Jacob Stauffer, 11. B. Weise, T. H1. Wheeler, D. P. Boggs, and Adam Eppinger.

The justices of the peace for the borough of Harmony, elected from 1840 to 1894, inclusive, are named as follows : Jacob Bear, IS40; John Seaman, 1540, 1851 and 1856; Jacob Covert, 1841 and 1846; Isaac Latshaw, 1845 and 1850; Jonas Umpstead, 1851, 1856 and 1861; Franeis R. Covert, 1861-66-71-76-81- 86-91: Alfred Pearce, 1866; John Pearce, 1879; James D. Lytle. 1877-82->7 and 1889; G. F. Haine. 1883; G. D. Swain, 1881; W. M. Grant, 1855; W. F. Wild. 1890: Adam Eppinger. 1891. and Henry Niece. 1892.

BURGESSES AND COUNCIL. MEN.

The order to incorporate the borough of Harmony was issued in 1838, and a charter election held, which resulted in the choice of William Keck for burgess. Very little was accomplished by the old councils toward improving the town. The record of elections on file give the following names of successful candidates for burgess and councilmen from 1877 to 1894 :

SCHOOLS.

The schools and teachers from 1805 to the departure of the Economites, were part and parcel of the community, like the farmers, weavers, vineyard workers. dairy hands, etc. In 1815 or 1816 John Fleming established a school, in which the teachers named in the history of Zelienople taught subsequently, one of them, Jacob Heberling, the mason, teaching where G. D. Swain's store now stands, and William Huntzberger, where in later year- stood the Umpstead build- ing. The Harmony Collegiate Institute is the successor of a long line of select schools carried on here since the forties, and has done good work in the cause of education. Since the advent of public schools, Harmony has enjoyed similar advan- tages to other boroughs throughout the county. In June. 1893. there were sixty- seven male and eighty-three female children of school age within the borough : while the total revenue for school purposes amounted to $1. 34.64.

CHURCHES.

The Mennonite Church is the pioneer religious organization of modern llar- mony. For ten or eleven years before the Zieglers arrived. the Pietist- observed the teachings of George Rapp here, as well as in the pastoral towns of Eidenau. Ramsdale and Oilbronn. Rev. John Boyer was the first Mennonite preacher. and Abraham Ziegler the principal supporter of the church from 1816, when a build- ing was constructed, to his death, in 1836. In 1>25 he caused a stone building to be erected, which is to-day the house of worship. Rev. Abraham Tinsman succeeded Mr. Boyer, and Rev. Jacob Kulp came after Tinsman. Then Rev. Joseph Zieg- ler became pastor, and for forty years preached to the little congregation. In 1816 the Zieglers and the families of David Stauffer. John Schwartz and the Wise> formed the congregation. To-day. almost eighty years after it- organiza- tion, it embraces about the same number of members, though many of the grand- children of the founders have joined other Protestant denominations.

Grace Reformed Church was organized in 1826, as a German speaking society, by Rev. John Koch. with the following named members : Conrad Stamm, Daniel Shanor. John Rice. Samuel Moyer, Abraham Moyer, Gottlieb Burry, Andrew Ziegler and their wives, and Henry Muntz. The pastors, in order of service, are named as follows : Revs. John Koch, 1826: Daniel Rahauser, 1827 : Jacob Daubert, 1835: E. F. Winter, 1837 : J. F. Dieffenbacher, 1839; E. F. Winter, 1843 ; Samuel Miller, 1845; L. D. Lieberman, 1848 : Samuel Miller, 1849; Joseph Miller, 1852 ; H. F. Hartman, 1853 : Lucian Cort. 1857 ; F.W.

Dechant, 1858; William M. Landis. 1861; F. A. Edmonds, 1870; II. II. Sandoe, 1885, and E. Il. Otting, ISS7. Mr. Otting resigned early in 1894, after having brought the membership up to 260. The old brick meeting house of the Pietists. built under the direction of the Rapps in 1805, has been the meeting house of this congregation since its purchase from Abraham Ziegler in 1826. It has been subjected to repeated remodeling-, the last having been finished October 30, 1892. when the building was re-dedicated.

The German Evangelical Church was organized in 1843, by Rev. Eli Steaver, an itinerant of that denomination. For about ten years the little society worshipped in the school house or in private houses ; then a frame house was purchased and transformed into a church, which was used for worship until 1868, when the little brick building was completed. It was the place of worship until it began to fall to pieces.

The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized at Zelienople, in 1842, where a brick building was erected, which was used until 1880. when the con- gregation moved to Ilarmony, by the advice of Rev. J. W. Righter, who was then in charge of the circuit. A church building was commenced and completed and dedicated August 15, of that year, at a cost of about $2,000, exclusive of the building lot.

The Baptist Church of Harmony, never a prosperous society, though own- ing a building, is merely a reminiscence.

The Church of God was organized here by Rev. W. B. Long, who was pas- tor at Benwood, West Virginia, in recent years. He secured a number of con- verts, baptized them in the Connoquenessing, and sent them forth to bring others into the fold.

The First Cemetery was the old burial ground of the Harmony Society, from 1805 to 1815, which was covered. in the last named year, with rock, to a depth of several feet, so that the bones of their dead would not be disturbed, was restored in 1869, by the representatives of the old community, who built a wall around the graveyard, removed the rocks and marked the graves of those interred there. The work was performed by Elias Ziegler, at an expense of over $7,000.

SECRET SOCIETIES.

Kinnear Lodge, Number 648, 1. O. O. F., was chartered November 17. 1868, with Jacob Cooper, N. G. ; Jacob Schoene, V. G .: Henry Cooper, sec. ; Theodore Kersting, asst. sec., and Philip Diehl, treas. Robert Kinnear and Henry Cooper, who were instrumental in organizing the lodge. the officers named, with three other citizens, formed the roll of charter members. The membership rose at one time to about 130, then fell to eleven, and again increased. The lodge at Middle Lancaster now embraces many Harmony and Zelienople Odd Fellows.

Harmony Union, Number 875, E. A. U., was organized December 4, 1891. with J. M. Carnahan chancellor, and the following named officers in the order of rank : Mrs. C. A. Blackman, Dr. D. W. Fiedler, Mrs. A. M. Kingsley, Mrs. W. L. Davis, Jacob Weigle, D. P. Boggs, Jacob Enslen, Rev. E. II. Otting, Mrs. J. Weigle, Mrs. C. S. Ahner, W. L. Davis, Maud Horibon, Jessie McGaffic and C. H. Blackman.

E' VANS CITY is the new name of an old settlement. It is situated on Breakneck creek, on the township line, and is therefore partly in Jackson and partly in Forward townships. Its site was for a long time a favorite camp- ing ground of the Indians, who named the creek Big Beaver run ; while the French knew it as Casse-cou-anse or Breakneck creek,-a name adopted by trav- elers between Fort Duquesne and Fort Machault, and by the English speaking pioneers of the original township of Connoquenessing. From 1804 to 1836, the location was often called Boggs' Mill, and in later years Evansburg. In 1880 it was a little hamlet, credited with a population of sixty-eight ; in 1890, there were 637 persons enumerated, and at the beginning of 1894, it was generally credited with a population of 1,000. The assessed value of property, January 1, 1894, was $96,218, on which a county tax of $384.87 and a State tax of $180.93 were levied.

When Robert Boggs exchanged a mare for 400 acres of land in 1796, and built a log cabin where now stands Boggs & Kline's store, in Evans City, in which he later opened a tavern, Duncan's tavern, six miles distant, was the nearest settlement, and Robert Burns' tavern, six miles from Duncan's, on the old Franklin road, the next. Other settlers followed the pioneer, among whom were John Dunn. John Rea and William and Michael Martin. The Boggs mill was erected in 1804 and the Boggs wagon introduced. Like the mill, it was a crude affair. Its four wheels were nothing less than four sections of a tree, sawn off the end of a large log, banded with iron ; the wooden axle worked in these wheels, and the two axles were kept in place by a stick of timber fastened to them with wooden pins. In 1836 Boggs sold 200 acres of his farm and the mill to a young man named Thomas B. Evans, who, with his wife, joined the community on Breakneck creek. Evans built a new mill, in 1838, laid out a village and was playing the part of a modern town builder when death called him away.

John Rea established the first store. He came from Ireland to Pittsburg, and while there conceived the idea of moving to Evansburg. Doing well as a merchant, he added a hotel to his business and became the favorite host of the raftsmen of that day. He knew their taste for ham and eggs and whisky, and provided a simple but bountiful table for the mountaineers. His son, William Rea, of Adams township, was one of the early politicians of Butler county. He was for many years prominent as a Whig and a Republican, but becoming dissatis-

418

HISTORY OF BUTLER COUNTY.

fied with the course of the latter party, he finally allied himself with the Democrats. A progressive farmer, he bought a reaping machine. Taking it into the field for trial, he fell on the knife, lost one leg, and died within a week. A daughter married Benjamin Douthett ; a son, Samuel J., became a lawyer at Louisville, Kentucky, but later, settled at Philadelphia ; while another daughter, Christiana, married a man named Ray and with him moved west. John Rea, Sr., traded the hotel for John ()'Connor's farm, and the latter, failing to make hotel-keeping a success, rented the house to William Il. Johnston, who carried it on successfully until his return to Whitehall, New York. He was a son-in-law of Michael Mar- tin, who, like another old settler, Jonathan Ransom, kept a store at Harmony before locating at Evansburg.

Thomas Wilson, known as "Uncle Tommy," was one of the first to build on the town site, coming in from his large farm two miles distant. Samuel Davis, his foster son, inherited the property, but did not long enjoy it, and died minus an acre or a dollar. William and Josiah Logan, brothers-in-law of Thomas B. Evans, left shortly after the death of the founder of the town; while Samuel Bishop, the shoemaker of the district, and his family also removed to other parts. Thomas MeQuoil, another shoemaker, resided here for many years. Joseph Mellvain, known to the early settlers as " The generous peddler," came to stay as a merchant. For twenty-five years he made a trip weekly to Pitts- burg, taking farm products to that market and returning with dry goods, notions and groceries for his customers. He married a daughter of James Anderson, who lived near the village, and who survived him many years.

" Big Dan " and " Little Dan " McIntosh, the four McCune boys, grandsons of Michael Martin, Joseph McAllister, the wheelwright, and Samuel Kirk, the justice, who united so many happy couples in marriage, moved to Illinois. Turk, who essayed to invent the system of driving machinery by sand, moved to Law- rence county ; the Balkams, one of whom, Jacob, married the widow of Thomas B. Evans, soon after moved away with the three Evans girls, Jerusha, Vestus and Virginia. James Wilson, the apothecary, and Kade Miller, the school teacher, were important characters in those days. Thomas Reed, the blacksmith, moved to Prospect. Jonas Bolander, the wagon maker, cast aside his trade here and became a school teacher. He introduced the weekly spelling match, and followed the profession here until he moved westward. Henry Barkey established one of the pioneer stores here, and was the local preacher of the " Church of God" until he moved to Venango county, in 1851, where he founded the town of Barkeyville. Abraham Huntzberger, who married Barkey's daughter, Catherine, and became her father's partner, was reared at Harmony. John Barkey, a brother, also carried on a store here, until he retired to his farm, where he died.

Henry Mickley, who was a freighter and huckster, established himself in the hotel business here some time in the fifties. During the stirring times of 1861-65, his house was the headquarters for volunteers and recruits. After the war he received the few who returned with fatherly kindness.

John Kane, who opened a quarry near the Plains church in Adams town- ship, was stone mason. It was he, who, in early years, cut the headstones and

engraved them. After years of solitude, he moved to Evansburg and commenced to build an air furnace. When it was completed, a moulder named Symmington pronounced it practical and rented it. To the surprise of the skeptical rustics, who watched the old Irishman's work, the air furnace met the inventor's aims and Symmington carried on a fair business in plows, points, stoves and other necessary farming and household hardware, until the Kane furnace was burned out. James Harbaugh, a brother-in-law of Symmington, was a horse trader. Joseph Harbaugh, a brother of James, was a most respected resident. For years he was the leading blacksmith of the village until his removal to Harmony, where he died.

Dr. Cornell was the first physician to settle in the village. Prior to his com- ing, the settlers had to send to Harmony for a physician. He failed to build up a practice and remained but a short time. Dr. William Sterrett came next, and built up a lucrative practice. He sold his property to Dr. William Irvine and moved to Talley Cavey, Allegheny county.

Major Reese Evans, a brother of the founder, should not be forgotten. As millwright, he taught Thomas B. Evans the trade and worked here in the old mill until 1820, when he built one farther east. In later years, he devoted his time to the manufacture of churns, tubs, pails, chairs and such utensils, sum- moning the young men to tramp the lathe when he would have a large amount of work to produce.

The early inn-keepers have already been mentioned. In 1864 Henry Stokey introduced the modern hotel. in John Randolph's old house, and carried it on several years. In 1868 J. N. Miller, who was a shoemaker, entered the business. In 1876 Mr. Miller built one of the best houses devoted to hotel keeping in the county at that time, which has since been known as the Miller House. The storm of August 19, 1880, made the new hotel a special mark for its fury, carry- ing away the roof and doing other damage. The house was repaired at heavy expense and, again, in the fall of 1893, it was subjected to a thorough restoration. Mr. Miller was succeeded by his son Charles H. in 1891. In 188I, the Central House, opposite the Miller House was opened by Henry W. Stokey, now of Zelien - ople, who later purchased the Stokey House, which he ran till 1888. Jacob Hyle is now proprietor of the old Central House, which is named the Hyle House.

MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES.

The first mill at Evans City was erected in 1804 by Robert Boggs, a short distance above the present mill. It was a rude log affair, even for the first years of the century ; but the two sets of buhrs were kept busy, and the miller was satisfied. It is said that Andrew Boggs tore down the old concern and erected a frame building for grist and saw-mill purposes upon the site of the present mill. In 1838 Thomas B. Evans erected a better mill, shortly after William Purviance surveyed a town for him at that point. The furnace, wood-working concern and wagon shop of pioneer days have been described.

The Gansz tannery was established in 1843, by Joseph McHwain. In 1844 he employed Lewis Gansz, a native of Germany, who had previously been fore- man in the Harmony tannery, and also operated Magee's tannery on the Conno-

420

nessing. Gansz bought the tannery in 1849, and carried it on until succeeded by his son, Lewis, who continued it for several years.

There is still another factory, of which the pioneers knew nothing, though it existed in their days. It is the great oil factory, located fathoms deep under the houses and churches and cemeteries of the town. Its development is still in progress.

THE VILLAGE OF ISTS.

In October, 1878, the railroad was completed to Evans City, a new boiler to replace that which exploded in the Sutton flouring mill, being the first freight received. The bank of J. Dambach & Son was in existence ; the residence for the pastor of the German Lutheran church, the Henry Young store and other houses were completed, and the new railroad town showed signs of business activity hitherto unknown on Breakneck creek. A council appears to have had control of the place at that time, as mention is made of street improvements and of the appointment of Z. T. Weise as chief of police ; but the burning question was the location of the railroad depot. Later the school question occupied the attention of the people ; the village was elected into a separate school district ; but the order of court did not provide for district officers. The Evans City school building committee, Dr. Irvine, Dr. Kersting, Samuel Cooper, Robert White, Robert Ash and James Sutton, presented a resolution to the school boards of Jack - son and Forward townships in September, 1879, in which the former board acquisced. It provided for a payment of fifty-six dollars per month for teachers in the two schools here ; but being unwelcome to the constituted school boards. it was withdrawn and the schools were placed under the control of the Jackson township board.

POSTMASTERS.

Within a few years after the establishment of the village, and about the time Thomas B. Evans built his mill, postal facilities were offered, the mail being brought from Zelienople, by William Liken, on certain days. How long that system continued cannot now be ascertained, nor can the names of anti-bellum postmasters be given authentically. Henry Mickley was postmaster before the war and down to 1861, when Robert Boggs was appointed. Since this time the following named citizens have filled the office : James Croft, 1872 ; II. C. Boggs, 1875-85; Ilenry J. Ifft, 1885-89; H. C. Boggs, 1889-93, and J. M. White, appointed in November, 1893.

MERCHANTS AND BANKS.

The mercantile interests in 1894 were represented by Boggs & Kline, David Barto, R. Hudson, Henry J. Ifft, J. A. Ripper, W. D. Riggs, Smathers & Sut- ton, J. M. White and D. Zeman. general merchants; L. N. Burry and Shoup Brothers, hardware merchants ; the Oil Well Supply Company ; W. C. Douglass, harness, etc .; Henry Young and J. W. Zinkhann, furniture dealers ; J. and E. Dambach, successors to Lutz & Dambach, lumber merchants; F. C. Buhl, agricul- tural implement dealer ; N. Allen, and Barkey Brothers, coal dealers ; and Dr. J. M. List, druggist. The Opera House is conducted or owned by George Ifft &

Son ; two pool rooms by Thomas A. Donaldson and the Keely Brothers, and the two restaurants by Mrs. S. E. Hogeland and J. M. White.

The Citizens Bank is the successor of the bank established by Jacob Dam- bach & Son in 1878, and carried on by them until February 8, 1894. On that date it became an incorporated institution with a capital stock of $50,000. The officers are as follows: Edward Dambach, president; Daniel Markel, vice- president, and John Rohner, cashier. They with Jacob Dambach, Zeno Markei, W. Fowler, A. M. Fowler, W. HI. Weir and P. D. Gelbach are the stockholders.
