GEORGE WALKER, retired, Lisburn. More than a century ago Benjamin Walker, and his wife, Sarah (Morris) Walker, came from Wales to Chester County, Penn .; later re- moved to York County, finally settling near Rossville, and there purchased a farm and erected commodious buildings. They were members of the society known as "Friends;" and the church now standing, although more than a hundred years old, was the house in which they worshiped, and from its sacred desk William Penn has preached to the pioneer Christians. On the farm their family of seven children was reared; Isaac, the youngest son, married Mary Cramer, and their home was made during the early years of wedded life at the mansion of his father. The subject of this sketch was born in York County, Penn., another son, John, and a daughter, Mary A., now the wife of Samuel Gehr, of Camp Ilill, were born in Cumberland County, after the removal of their parents to this connty in 1825. Isaac Walker (father of our subject) died in 1839, and his widow in 1864. Lewis, an elder brother of Isaac Walker, worked for forty years in Harrisburg, married Mary A. Hull, of Lisburn, in 1845, and had two children: Clara and Jacob M. In 1884, an unfortunate accident caused the death of Mrs. Walker, since which time Lewis Walker has made his home with his brother George. Our subject was one of the most enterprising young men in this county. Choosing in early life the trade of shoe-making. he established himself at Lisburn. His mother, younger brother and sister lived together until the marriage of the sister, in 1853, with Samuel Gehr, by whom she has two children: Geo. W. and John A. His aged mother made her home with him until her death. With untiring energy he persevered in his work until a handsome competence was accumulated, consisting of a fine farm and the best residence property in the village. In 1866 Mr. Walker was married to Elizabeth Reiff, of York County, and two children were born, who died in infancy. After ten years of pleasant married life Mr. Walker was left a childless widower, and, in company with his brother Lewis, his days are passed in the quiet home at Lisburn. But for an accident, in 1885, Mr. Walker would be as hale and active as a man of fifty. In forty years he has not experienced an attack of sickness. Ile has a cheery home, surrounded by all the comforts wealth brings to intellectual minds, and has a record without a stain.

EMANUEL ZIMMERMAN, retired, P. O. Eberly's Mills, the only son of Peter Zim- merman, now living in Cumberland County, was horn on the homestead, in this county, December 8, 1818. His father was born in 1776, in Lancaster County, Penn., and there married Esther Martin, also born in the same year. When the Zimmerman family came to Cumberland County there was no bridge across the Susquehanna, and trains were forded, and goods carried over in boats. The land now owned by the family was then un- improved, and the fine houses and barns, with the exception of Ilenry Zimmerman's stone house, have been erected since their coming. Of their twelve children, Emannel is the youngest and the second one born in this county. October 22. 1844, he was married to Susannah, daughter of Christian and Elizabeth Hess, born in York County, Penn., March 4, 1825. They commenced housekeeping on State Ilill, in an old tenant house, now the property of J. C. Comfort. In 1859 Emanuel Zimmerman made his first purchase of land,

and every thing in the way of improvements has been done by him. The fine house and extensive barns were erected in 1860, and are models of architecture. Mr. and Mrs. Zim- merman are parents of five sons and four daughters: Joseph, George, Elizabeth, Anna, Jonas, Mary, Rebecca, Levi and Isaac. Joseph Zimmerman married Mary J. Blair, George married Adaline Crisinger, Elizabeth is the wife of Rudolph Hartzler, Annie is the wife of John Musselman, Jonas wedded Susanna Shoop, Mary is the wife of David C. Blair, and Isaac married Agnes Huston. Nearly half a century ago Mr. and Mrs. Zim- merman were made members of the Mennonite Church; that was before their marriage, and their love for their Creator has never been dimmed nor their family circle broken hy death. They have now seventeen grandchildren and a family of whom any parents may feel proud.

HENRY W. ZIMMERMAN, farmer, P. O. Eberly's Mill. The history of the Zim- mermans in this county dates back more than a century. The grandfather of onr subject, Peter Zimmerman, came from Lancaster County, Penn., in 1814, and purchased the farm now the property of Emannel, Henry, Solomon and brothers. The original tract com- prised 300 acres, on which was a stone house, now the residence of Henry Zimmerman, and which was built in 1781 by the Meisch family. Peter Zimmerman married Esther Martin, by whom he had twelve children: Christian, Henry, Peter, Samuel, Martin, Emanuel, Esther, Mary, Barbara, Annie, Julia and Elizabeth. This large family was reared on the the farm, and all the sons adopted agriculture as their vocations. Peter Zimmerman, Jr., married Magdalena, daughter of Henry and Magdalena Weaver. Mr. Weaver built the stone mill now owned by Calvin Etter, and which will no doubt remain a monument to his enterprise for many years to come. Peter Zimmerman and his wife commenced their married life in York County, opposite the homestead, and when that place was sold he purchased it, and his son Henry and sister Magdalena have managed the farm since. Peter Zimmerman, Jr., and wife had six children: Esther, Moses, Mary, Henry, Peter and Magdalena. The loving wife and mother died in 1840, and four years later Mr. Zimmerman was married to Barbara Hess, by whom he had six children: Sam- uel, Christian, Amos, David, Benjamin and Elizabeth. The death of the father of this large family occurred in 1874. Henry W. Zimmerman worked for his father until he was thirty-five years years old. In 1875 he was married to Clara A., daughter of Cosmus and Lucinda Clendenin. In 1875 our subject purchased the ancestral home. where his grand- father had reared a family of noble sons and daughters, and who rank among the leading farmers in Lower Allen Township. Henry W. and Clara A. Zimmerman have had four children born to them: Cosmus (deceased), Harry, Elmer and Howard. In a comfortable home, and encouraged by fond parents, they will no doubt do honor to the family name.

William Drennan originally took a large tract of land in this northern portion of what is now Middlesex Township, but was then North Middleton, which included a part of the whole of the farm now owned by Mr. Brindle. But that family, with the other early Scotch-Irish settlers of this northern part of Middlesex, are extinct, and it has been the later German settlers who, by their toil, have made the border of our valley "blossom like the rose."

In 1792 it passed into the hands of Ephraim Blaine, grandfather of Hon. James G. Blaine, of Maine, from whom it has descended down, through various parties and by various con- veyances, to the present owners, who have remodeled and greatly enlarged it, so that it is now one of the largest and most successful roller-mills in the county.

MIFFLIN TOWNSHIP.

ALFRED CARL, farmer, P. O. Newville. George Carl and his wife (who was a Heck- adorn) came from Berks County, and settled near the Canigagig Ridge, in Perry County, prior to 1809. They reared a family of children: George, Christian and Isaiah (twins), John, Adam, Daniel, Eliza, Rachael and Fanny. Of this family, George learned the blacksmith's trade, came to this county about the year 1834, and was married the same year to Margaret Kulp, a native of Columbia. Lancaster Co., Penn., but who was a resi- dent of White Hill when the nuptials were performed; she, as well as Mr. Carl, is of Ger- man descent, her parents coming from Germany. The married life of the young couple was commenced near the village of Loysville, Perry County, but they moved to White Hill later, and in 1843 came to Mifflin Township, this county, locating at the McCormick Mill, in Doubling Gap, where George Carl built and conducted a smithy for twenty-one years. Of his children, Alfred, Mary A., Elizabeth E., and Margaretta, were born at White Hill; David R. was born on the McCalister farm, and Francis E. and Julia A. on the homestead near the mill. Of these, Alfred Carl was born in 1834, learned the trade with his father, and October 14,1856, was married to Elizabeth L., daughter of John and Catharine Oiler, Rev. Hefflefinger, of Newville, performing the ceremony. Audrew and Susannah (Sweetwood) Oiler, grandparents of Mrs. Carl, were residents in this county from 1792; reared a family of twelve children: William, Andrew, John, George, Dauiel, James, Margaret, Maria, Cath- arine, Elizabeth, Susannah and Letitia. Of these, John (father of Mrs. Carl) for many years was a teacher in Frankford and Mifflin Townships. He married Catharine Heffle- finger in April, 1834, and this union was blessed with six children, all born in this county: Elizabeth, John, Catharine, William, George and Mary B. Alfred Carl and his wife com- menced married life at West Hill, West Pennsborough Township, where he engaged in blacksmithing. From there they removed to Plainfield, thence to Newville, and, in 1864, to the mills in Mifflin Township, where he purchased the smithy of his father, who bought himself a nice farm near by. For twenty-one years our subject carried on business there, earning his money by the sweat of his brow. In 1885, he purchased his father's farm, and now resides on it. To Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Carl have been born eleven children: Mary E. (wife of Henry H. Hoover), Kate B., Margaret L., Lizzie D., Lottie T., George, Clara A., Albert I., Charles T., Millie A. and Morris R. This large family, with the exception of Letitia, Lottie and Morris R., who are deceased, are now residing beneath the paternal roof. Especial attention has been paid to their education, and all will surely follow the good example showed them by their parents.
