According to the report of the United States en . rolling officer there were in German in the year 1863 one hundred and ninety-nine persons between the ages of eighteen and forty-five liable to military duty. At an examination held by the authority of the United States twenty-seven were declared dis- qualified and twenty-seven drafted for nine months. About this time a very great number volunteered. The Legislature having passed an act authorizing school directors to levy a tax, the German township school board levied the requisite amount to hire an equal number of substitutes for those whom the gov- ernment had drafted. The following are the uames of the tax collectors and the amount of their dupli- cates: Isaac Crow, 810,190.75; Jacob Newcomer, $5428.47 ; Jacob Newcomer, 87285.82; Thomas D. Bise, $2094.25. Amount of bounty tax levied, $24,999.29.

With no public works in the township, Germau exhibits her resources. In her limits are the Waynes- burg seam of coal, five feet ; two smaller veins, three feet each; and the nine-feet vein. These may he seen cropping out of the creek and river bluffs in nearly every part of her area. The Waynesburg seam is six feet in thickness, and but few, even of coal men, know of its existence in German. An excellent quality of oil was obtained at a depth of six hundred feet on Catt's Run, on Gray's land.

The population of German by the United States census of 1880 was 1834, including 90 in the village of McClellandtown.

By actual canvass the following were found to be the production of farms and live-stock in the year 1878 of and in the township :

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

JOIIN STERLING.

John Sterling, of Masontown, a farmer of distinc- tion, was born on the farm where he now lives, Aug. 12, 1822. He is of English descent. His father, also John Sterling, was born and reared in Fayette County, and was a farmer, and resided on the farm which John, Jr., now occupies. He married Catharine Knife. They had three sons and three daughters. Three of their children are still living, of whom our subject is one, and was educated in the common schools. When starting in life his father gave him a small farm, but his possessions, which are large, consisting of lands town properties, and bank stock, are mostly the accu- mulations of his own industry and business tact.

Feb. 6, 1842, he married Elizabeth Debolt, a daugh- ter of John and Charity Walters Debolt, of Nichol- son township, by whom he has had eight children, seven of whom are living: Ephraim Walters, a gen- eral business man ; Amy J., wife of Hon. Jacob Pro- vins ; A. J., a minister of the German Baptist Church ; Charity A., Mary M., and Rebecca B., all now (Febru- ary, 1882) attending Monongahela College; Jonathan (dcad) ; and John B., a nurseryman. Mr. Sterling has

been for many years a member of the German Baptist Church, and Mrs. Sterling is a zealous church-mem- ber as well as excellent woman, a good wife and kind friend. Mr. Sterling has held important local offices, the duties of which he always performed in a satis- factory manner. He and nearly all his male relatives are "sterling" Democrats. If Mr. Sterling's life has been marked by one peculiarity more striking than another it is to be found in the fact that he has not labored hard merely through a sense of duty, but be- cause he likes to work,-cannot be idle and happy too. Men like him are apt to thrive, and they ought to be, like him, prosperous.

Mr. Sterling and his son, E. W., are the owners of a large saw-mill and planing-mills located on the Monongahela River, and thoroughly equipped with all machinery necessary for carrying on the manufac- turing of " worked" lumber. Mr. Sterling and his son's extensive tracts of land are all underlaid with the nine-feet vein of the Connellsville coking coal, and supplied abundantly with iron ore and limestone. In fact, Mr. Sterling claims to hold, in his own right and that of his sons, one of the best tracts of coal and ore lands in Fayette County. He, with his sons, Rev. A. J. and J. B., own a large nursery, with extensive green-houses, adjoining his home-farm, where they raise all kinds of fruit and ornamental stocks.

JONATHAN STERLING.

The late Jonathan Sterling, of German township, was born March 29, 1820. He was the son of John Sterling, deceased, of whom we have made notice in the accompanying biography of John Sterling (Jr.). Mr. Jonathan Sterling died Aug. 8, 1881. He was all his active business life a farmer, and in childhood attended the common schools. On March 31, 1840, he married Mary Ann Hart, of Nicholson township. They had ten children, of whom five sons and three daughters are living. Mr. Sterling was a prosperous man, and was at one time wealthy, in the local sense. He gave his children good educational advantages, and left them in prosperous circumstances at his death. John, his eldest son, residing in German township, is an excellent farmer, and through his in- dustry and thrift has accumulated a large estate for a young man. Christian C., the second son, owns the most valuable piece of real estate in Masontown borough, the "Sterling House," and is also the owner of a very valuable farm about a half-mile from the borough. The third son, Andrew J., Jr., is an active business young man, alert and expert of calcula- tion. He is an enthusiastic politician of the Demo- cratic school, married and has three children, and re- sides in German township, where he owns a farm of a hundred acres, besides valuable real estate in Ma- sontown borough. James B., the fourth son, is an active and industrious farmer, and has gathered together quite a property. The fifth and last son

living, William M., owns a valuable farm near Mason- town, and is noted as one of the most skillful scribes of the region. The daughters are all well married and in comfortable circumstances. Mr. Sterling was

JONATHAN STERLING.

a very industrious and good man. He never held any but township offices, but fulfilled the duties of these well. He and his wife were members of the German Baptist Church. He was a Democrat, and attended the polls faithfully. The Sterlings are said not to be fighting men, have no soldiers in the family, but are good voters. The principal recreation in which Mr. Jonathan Sterling allowed himself to in- dulge was voting and hurrahing for the Democratic ticket. To his family, party, and God he was ever faithful.

JOSEPH WOODWARD.

Joseph Woodward, of German township, a farmer, is derived from Irish Quaker stock. His father, Joseph Woodward (Sr.), was born in Chester County, Pa., April 11, 1766, and some time after coming to Fayette County was married therein to Hope Shot- well, a native of New Jersey. He was a farmer. They had eight children, of whom Joseph, Jr., was the third, and was born Nov. 10, 1810, in Menallen township. June 7, 1832, Joseph (Jr.) married Eleanor Buchanan, of German township. They had thirteen children, of whom nine are living. Mrs. Woodward died Feb. 9, 1853, and June 29, 1854, Mr. Woodward married Sarah Ann Bunker, who died Aug. 6, 1872. He again married March 11, 1875, his third wife's maiden name being Sarah Black. Mr. Woodward

settled in his present home early in life, before his first marriage. His children are widely scattered, some living in Illinois, others in Kansas, and some in Pennsylvania, and all are married and prosperons. Mr. Woodward has been a member of the Cumber- land Presbyterian Church for nearly half a cen- tury, and an elder in the church for many years. His property consists of lands principally. He enjoys the respect and confidence of his neighbors, always having been noted for excellent good sense, upright- ness, and kindly deeds.

DAVID JOHNSON.

The late David Jolinson, of German township, was born in Rockingham County, Va., March 5, 1786, and came with his father, Peter Johnson, and the family into Fayette County when David, who was the oldest son, was quite young. They settled in German town- ship. He was educated in the subscription schools of the times, worked on his father's farm, and learned the art of weaving, and remained at home till the time of his marriage to Mary Magdalena Bixler, of German township, June 27, 1809, whereafter he took up his residence with his father-in-law for one year, and then purchased a farm, still in the hands of rela- tives of his, near Uniontown, whereon he resided for six years, and selling the farm to his brother Jacob, bought the " Yanders farm" near Masontown, npon which he lived the rest of his days. He was the father of nine children, eight of whom were living at the time of his death, which ocenrred May 24, 1860. All the eight children, six boys and two girls, were also married at the time of the father's death. Mrs. Johnson died some three years before her husband, and both were buried in the private burying-ground on the New- comer farm, adjoining Mr. Johnson's original farm, and which he owned at the time of his death, and which his daughter Frances, Mrs. John Young, now owns.

Mr. Johnson and his wife were members of the Mennonite Church. Mr. Johnson was in early life a Whig in politics, but became a Republican. He was not an ardent politician, and never sought office. It is said of him that " If David Johnson was not an honest man then there are no honest men."

Mr. Johnson owned about sixteen hundred acres of land, the most of which is underlaid with the nine- feet vein of bituminous coal, and left to each of his children a farm of about two hundred acres of land, with house and outbuildings thereon, upon which severally the surviving children are still living in prosperous circumstances.

Mr. Jacob Johnson, the son of David, and the next to the last born of his children, and who, perhaps, more especially than the rest supplies the place of his father in the world, left the old homestead farm, whereon for a long number of years he had wrought, just prior to his father's death, and moved upon " the

Middle Run farm," in the same township, to which he has made many additions by purchase until his present landed estate covers abont a thousand excel- lent acres. He married in 1852 Elizabeth Knotts, a native of Virginia. They have had five sons and two daughters. Fonr sons and two daughters are now living and residing with their father, and being in- dustrious and faithful children are adding to the worth of the already valuable homestead farm. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are members of the Mennonite Church.

CAPT. ISAAC PHILLIPS KENDALL.

Capt. Isaac Phillips Kendall, a worthy farmer and citizen of Masontown, and a gentleman of individ- ual characteristics and varied talents, was born in German township, April 7, 1822. His grandfather, Jeremiah Kendall, of English descent, was born in Virginia, and was a soldier of the Revolution, and at one time private secretary of Gen. Washington. He was wounded at the battle of Brandywine. He mar- ried Rhoda McIntyre, of Virginia, a lady of Scotch lineage, and, nearly a hundred years ago, settled in Fayette County, and had "patented" to him at that time the farm npon which Capt. Kendall's father and himself were born, and on which the father always lived, and the captain has resided until March, 1881. Capt. Kendall's father was Jeremiah. He was a sol- dier of the war of 1812. His wife was Sarah Phillips, of Nicholson township. Capt. Kendall received his education in the common schools and at Rector Col- lege, Pruntytown, Va. Nov. 7, 1844, he married Nancy J. Allebaugh, the oldest daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Allebangh. The latter (referred to in the biography of Samuel Allebaugh ) resides with her son- in-law, Capt. Kendall. Capt. and Mrs. Kendall have had no children.

Capt. Kendall has held important township offices, but is no seeker after official positions. He derives his military title from his election to the post of cap- tain, commissioned as such by Governor F. R. Shunk in a volunteer company, Nov. 7, 1846, which company tendered their services for the war with Mexico, bnt were not accepted. He was afterwards elected major of battalion on a 7th of November. He remembers the date of his military election and re-election be- cause it is the same (November 7th) as that of his marriage. Thus peace and war go hand in hand together with him.

Capt. Kendall is a successful business man, and is now engaged in farming and manufacturing coke. He has always been a farmer, and says that he is a poor one; but his neighbors do not think so. His considerable possessions consist of agricultural lands, coal deposits, bank stocks, etc. He is, in the English sense, a very clever gentleman. Indeed, he may be called a "genius" withal, possessing excellent powers of mechanical invention. He is, moreover, a man of refined sensitiveness, studential habits, and strong in-

dividual traits. In 1866, at the age of forty-four, a time of life when most men, especially those engaged in active business, would be disinclined to commence a new study, the captain, until that time unable to read a musical note, took up the study of music, as a pastime as well as a science, pursuing it faithfully for three years before he felt competent to attempt to in- struct in the art. He is now well equipped, a snecess- ful teacher, and instructs pupils in Sunday- and com- mon schools. Perhaps he is more noted as a teacher of music than in any other capacity. He would say so of himself; but he is as well noted throughout the region he inhabits as an excellent neighbor, high- minded public citizen, and warm-hearted friend.

SAMUEL ALLEBAUGH.

The late Samnel Allebaugh, of Masontown, was of German stock. His father, Christian Allebangh. lived in Rockingham County, Va., where he married Cath- arine Showalter, of the same county, by whom he had ten children, eight sons and two daughters. Samuel was their fourth child, and was born March 3, 1789, and was educated in the country schools of Rocking- ham County. Growing up he learned the trade of blacksmithing, and finally came into Fayette County, locating at Masontown in 1810. He married Eliza- beth Weibel, of German township then, now Nich- olson. They had eight children, equally divided as to sex (six of whom are living),-Josiah S., who mar- ried Nancy J. Heath, March 4, 1832; James M., who

married Elizabeth Guinn ; Andrew J .; William R., who married Mary M. Hill, and died June 13, 1875; Nancy J., married Nov. 7, 1844, to Capt. Isaac P. Kendall; Elizabeth A., who married Jamies S. Rohrer, Jan. 25, 1846; Rebecca C., who married Adam Poundstone, Feb. 8, 1846, and died Nov. 1, 1852; Elmira J., who married Capt. C. L. Conner, Sept. 21, 1843. Capt. Conner was a soldier in the Mexican war and in that of the Rebellion, and was engaged in each from the beginning to its close. He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and died April 5, 1877.

Samnel Allebaugh died Sept. 16, 1867, and was in- terred in the German Baptist burying-ground. After leaving Virginia he lived wholly in Masontown, except for a period of about five years which he passed on his farm in German township, on the waters of Brown's Run, and two years which were spent in Fairfield County, Ohio, on a farm which he purchased in 1835, upon which he moved in 1836, and which he sold in 1837, returning in the fall of that year to his old and cherished home in Masontown. Ilis reputa- tion for manly virtues was excellent; in fact, he was noted for his good qualities as a neighbor and citizen. According to his means he generously assisted all his children to a start in life. They had all arrived at maturity before his death. His widow, Elizabeth, in her ninety-second year, is an active, intelligent, and amiable old lady. Mr. Allebangh was long a member of the German Baptist or Dunkard Church. His children are Cumberland Presbyterians.

IN 1823, at the January session of court for Fay- ette County, there was presented a petition of the inhabitants of Wharton township for a division be- ginning at the Great Falls on Youghiogheny River; thence to Carrol's mill ; thence by said mill to the Virginia (now West Virginia) line. An order was issued, and Morris Morris, Thomas Collins, and Abel Campbell appointed viewers to inquire into the pro- priety of such division. In obedience to the order they reported that with the assistance of a competent surveyor they had performed the duties assigned to

them by taking into consideration the territory of the township, its population, etc., and recommend a di- vision of said township by running lines, viz. : Be- ginning at the Great Falls of the Youghiogheny River; thence sonth 180 perches, sonth 373 degrees west, 646 perches to the month of Laurel Run ; thence south 30 degrees east. 34 perches; thence south 75 degrees west, 24 perches; thence south 9 degrees east, 28 perches; thence south 4 degrees cast, 78 perches; thence south 7! degrees east, 30 perches ; thence south 10 degrees west, 3 perches ; thence south 193 degrees east, 20 perches ; thence south 83 degrees east, 152 perches; thence south 30 degrees east, 60 perches ; thence sonth 23 degrees east, 40 perches ; thence south 300 perches; thence sonth 433 degrees west, 702 perches to the United States turnpike ; thence south 13 degrees west, 295 perches to the burnt cabin at the intersection of the road leading to Car-

rol's mill; thence with said road to the Virginia (now West Virginia) line.

This report was presented to the court on the 9th day of June, 1824, and by them confirmed, and it was directed by said court that the western section con- tinue to be called "Wharton," and the eastern sec- tion be erected into the township of " Henry Clay."

Henry Clay township is bounded on the north by Stewart township, on the east is separated by the Youghiogheny River from Somerset County, Pa., on the south is divided by the celebrated Mason and Dixon's line from the States of Maryland and West Virginia, and on the west (bounded) by Wharton. It lies partly in the Ligonier Valley, and is the south- eastern of the five mountain or highland townships, and is also the southeastern township of the county. Its greatest length from north to south is eight miles, and from east to west is seven and three-quarter miles. Laurel Hill Ridge runs through the township a little west of the centre, with an average width of three miles, and average height of two thousand three hundred feet above the level of the ocean. On the west of Laurel Hill Ridge high hills, rough and broken, extend to the Wharton line. On the east high hills extend to the river, and rise from six hundred to eight hundred feet above its banks. There are here no valley or bottoms, but the river cuts its way through rugged hills. These hills, east of the Ridge, extend as far south as the National road. From the National road south to Mason and Dixon's line is an elevated plain (with a rolling surface) over two thousand two hundred feet above the level of the ocean, a section well adapted to grazing. It was for- merly called the " Glades."
