Mills .- Gerhart's mill, on Swamp Creek, one mile from Denver, was built by Henry Mishler early in the present century. It was sold by him to Samuel Buffenmoyer, and by him to Samuel Bucher. Henry Keller purchased it from Bucher and sold it to Peter Gerhart, the present owner. Both flour and feed are ground here.
The mill was built by Daniel S. Kinsey early in the present century. lle sold it in 1851 to Henry Shirk, and in 1867 it was purchased by his brother, Michael Shirk. In 1881 it was purchased by the present owner, R. A. Leinbach. An engine of six- teen horse-power was added in 1881 by Mr. Leinbach to avoid the embarrassments caused by drougths. It is both a merchant- and a custom-mill.
The machine-shop attached to the mill was formerly used by llenry Shirk as a manufactory of threshing- machines. It has been idle during the last five years.
Two mills have preceded this here. The first, which stood farther down the stream, was built very early. The second stood very near to the present one, and occupied a portion of what is now the street that goes by it.
Bucher's mill is on Coealico Creek a mile below Leinbach's mill, and three-fourths of a mile from Reamstown. It is a stone mill, two stories in height, and it has two runs of burrs and a run of ehopping- stones. It was built, in 1817, by Christian and Cathe- rine Knop. It was purchased by Sebastian Gochley in 1821, and by his executors was sold to Benediet Bucher in 1853, and in 1864 his son, Monroe Bucher, the present owner, purchased it from the executors of his father's estate. An oil-mill preceded this on the same site, but the time of its erection cannot be learned.
A fulling-mill stands on Cocalico Creek, three- fourths of a mile below Stauffer's mill. It is believed that this was built by Honas Moore in the latter part of the last century. Dec. 28, 1814, it was sold by IIonas Moore and Catherine, his wife, to John Moore, Jr. It afterward passed through many hands; and while the domestic manufacture of cloth was prae- tieed by the people of this country, it was a paying investment. With the decline of this domestic in- dustry, of course, the business of this as well as other fulling-mills ecased. It has long been idle, although it still stands there, with its dam in a tolerably good condition. Its present owner is John Dougherty.
Distilleries .- There have been five distilleries in this township. These were erected by Andrew Bu- shong, three miles southeast from Reamstown ; Mar- tin H. Fry, about a mile from Bushong's ; John Mish- ler, half a mile northwest from Reamstown; and Binkley's mill stands on Stony Run, four miles from Denver. It was built by William Binkley, the present owner. It has a run of burrs and a run of : the persons who established them, but all have Jacob Mishler, three miles northwest from Reams- town. They were operated during many years by chopping-stones. eeased; some have been converted into dwellings, Commercial Mill is on Cocalieo Creek, half a mile and some have gone to decay. One was erected at from Reamstown. It is a four-story inill, the first ' two stories of stone and the second and third of wood. It has four run of stones, two of which are burrs and Reamstown by Philip Bushong in 1835, and a steam- mill was added to it in 1838. A large business was carried on for a time, but about 1850 it was ahan- two chopping-stones, only one of the latter now in | doned and the fixtures were removed to Reading. A use. A saw-mill is attached to this, and is driven by , large quantity of spirits were left stored there, and the water from the same pond. A-machine also adjoins the mill, and the machinery was driven by the same power.
increase in its value, which was caused by the civil war, made the owner very wealthy.

the village of what is now Denver, and on the line of the Reading and Columbia Railroad, was built prior . to the present century by a man named Bare, or Baer, and subsequently sold to James Carlin, or Carding, and by him sold to James Keller, father of Christian Keller, the present owner. It is a stone building, and contains four run of stone, used for custom, chop, and flouring.
Wabash Flouring and Custom Mill is located on the Cocalico Creek, three-quarters of a mile below Bucher's mill, one and a half miles below Reams- town, and one mile from Stevens' Station. This mill is on a plantation of six hundred acres, warranted to Jacob Hershberger, who, in 1761, deeded to his son, | perience as a teacher, and engaged at Reamstown in
John Heraliberger, the property on which the mill now stands, containing one hundred and fifty-four acres, with the privilege of overflowing one hundred and fifty acres additional, or so much as would be necessary for mill purposes, forever hereafter. Upon the tract was a saw mill, standing on the site of the present saw-mill, adjoining the grist-mill subse- quently built, the saw-mill having been built by Jacob Hershberger previous to his deeding the prop- erty to his son.
In 1762, Jacob Hershberger, Sr., made a will, and willed to his three sons-Joseph, Abraham, and Isaac -the saw-mill. Whether John's right by deed to the mill was in fee simple or otherwise is not known, or whether it was the same mill mentioned in the will is not definitely stated.
In 1794 the executors of the estate of Isaac Ilersh- berger sold the mill property to Zent & Hebbenhei- mer, and the two latter sold it, in 1797, to Peter Zerbe, and in 1799 he sold to Jacob Klein. The property then passed through the hands of Joseph Gorges and George Hlacker to Jacob Hower, who built the orig- inal grist-mill, upon the site of the present one. It was then owned by Christina Long and John Long, and sold by the sheriff, in 1845, to Jacob and Abra- ham Bowman, and in 1846, Jacob Bowman became the owner, whose executors sold the mill property, in 1855, to Daniel Bowman, and in 1856 the property was purchased by Philip Staufer, the present owner. In 1861, Mr. Staufer rebuilt the mills and mill-dam, at an expense of four thousand five hundred dollars, and christened the flouring. mill " Wabash."
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
JOHN S. NOLDE,
prominent manufacturer and tobacco dealer of Den- ver, was born in Franklin County, Pa., Oct. 23, 1844. His father, Lawrence Nolde, emigrated from Ger- many to America in 1840, when a young man, and settled in Franklin County, where he married Martha Strube. She died in 1858. Of their three children, all are living. John, the only son, was educated in
the local schools to such purpose that, at the age of twenty, he essayed the role of teacher. His maiden effort was made in Ephrata township, Lancaster Co., and emboldened by success, he determined to push on in the course he had chosen. The undertaking proved a gratifying one in every sense, and for four- teen successive years- two in Ephrata and twelve in East Cocalico-he continued to gain an enviable reputation as a diligent and skillful instructor. His last field was Reamstown, where for some years he taught the grammar-school. While teaching there he was married, in 1878, to Emma, daughter of J. M. Sallade, of Reamstown. In 1879 he closed his ex-
the business of dealing in cigars and leaf tobacco. In 1880 he added to his enterprises a cigar manufac- tory at Reamstown, and in 1881 set in motion a second factory, at Denver, to which point he then removed his residence. In his two factories he employs thirty- five hands, carries on an extensive and flourishing in- dustry, and ranks among the foremost as a progressive, liberal-spirited citizen. He gives to his business in- terests-including, besides manufacture, large dealings in tobacco and cigars-his constant and watchful care, and in all his methods holds to careful deliberation, as well as to quick comprehension and speedy action, when emergencies demand such effort. Although no seeker after office and no dabbler in politics, he keeps abreast of the times, and holds it his duty to follow with earnest interest the progress of events in the political, as well as the social, world. He was a dele- gate to the Republican State Convention in 1881, and discharged his trust with much zealous ability. IIe is a member of Cocalico Lodge, No. 408, 1. O. O. F., bas occupied all the offices therein, and for four years was the representative from the lodge to the Grand Lodge; is a member of Cocalico Lodge, No. 400, K. of P., and for three years represented that lodge in the Grand Lodge. Public education has ever found in him an active and spirited advocate, and in recognition of his valuable and extended career as a teacher, he was called upon to serve on the important committee on teachers' permanent certificates for the county.

WEST COCALICO TOWNSHIP.I
Geography, Topography, and Soil .- West Co- calico occupies the most northern position of the subdivisions of the county. Its greatest length from north to south is seven miles, and its greatest width is five miles. It has Berks and Lebanon Counties on the north, East Cocalico on the east, Ephrata on the

south, and Clay township on the west. The southern extremity, popularly known as Gruben Land (on ac- count of its being at first cleared from hazel-nut bushes with the pick-axe), is comparatively level or undulating. The soil is a mixture of red loam and sand, or what is generally called limestone land. It is very fertile, and yields plentifully when under proper cultivation. North of this section the town- ship is traversed by the iron-stone ridge, which crosses the State from Sinking Spring to Marietta.
Genealogy and Settlement of the Shirk Family. -- In 1732, Ulrich Shirk, with six sons and two daughters; came from Switzerland to find a home in the New World. They landed at Philadelphia, and went to the vicinity of Lancaster, where they remained for a year. In 1733 three of the sons, Ulrich, Cas- per, and John, with their father, Ulrich, settled in North of this ridge we find gravel land, forming the ' the vicinity of Schoeneck, this township, taking up about fifteen hundred aeres of land. Of the other three sons-Michael, Joseph, and Peter-one settled near New Holland, one along the Conestoga, and the other near Mount Joy. Of the two daughters nothing is known.
southern base of the ridge which divides the lime- stone region from swamp. This gravel soil is com- paratively fertile, and yields early and abundantly, on account of being exposed to the rays of the noon- day sun and shielded from the cold winds by the ridge. The dividing ridge is mostly covered with forest. The chestnut predominates, but in some places the trees have been cut away and the soil is cultivated.
The swamps and creeks which form the greater part of the township are north of this ridge. Two local names are applied to this swamp, viz., Lower and Upper Swamps. The former comprises the eastern and the latter the western section. On the extreme north we have the Cocalico Ridge, where the land is quite hilly and not so fertile, being frequently badly washed by heavy rains. Upper Swamp is drained by the Cocalico Creek, which comes in from Lebanon County on the northwest and flows east to John Lengel's mill, from there south through the eastern portion of the limestone region, and enters East Co- calico near Denver. This swamp is also drained by numerous affluents of the Cocalico, of which Har- nish's Creek is the most important. Lower Swamp is drained by Swamp Creek and its affluents. The limestone region is drained by Steinmetz's Rivulet, which takes its rise north of Schoeneck and flows south into Trout Creek. The western part is drained by Indian Creek, which forms the greater part of the western boundary line.
Railroad .- The Reading and Columbia Railroad passes through the northeastern part of the township, with Reinhold's as the only station in the township. This railroad was built in 1863-64.
Indian Occupation .- Little is known of the In- dians who lived here many years ago. They once had huts along Indian Creek, which bears its present name for that cause, but no legends are left of their doings. Arrow-heads made of flint are occasionally found in the fields at present. It is said that an Indian lived in Lower Swamp who took part in the massacre of Wyoming in 1778, but this story is not authentic. In about 1814 some forty Indians came from farther west, and passed through Reinholdsville on their way to Philadelphia to draw their annual dues for their lands. While staying here they amused the whites by shooting sixpences (which they seldom missed) from stieks stuck into the ground, and split at the top
to hold the coin. The money was put up by the whites, and when struck by the arrow belonged to the Indians.
Ulrich Shirk, who came with his father, Ulrich, was born A.D. 1711, died 1763. He was married to Annie Swar in 1735. (Her mother's maiden name was Adaline Lawrence, and came from France.) She was born in 1720, and died in 1810. Ulrich Shirk reared a family of three sons and seven daughters,- Ulrich, born May 16, 1751, died May 14, 1842. He was married to Maria Eberly, born Dee. 20, 1759, died June 26, 1831. David was married to Barbara Erb. Michael, born May 26, 1758, died April 4, 1827. He was married to Barbara Flickinger, born July 26, 1759, died Dec. 2, 1820. Of the seven daughters, Elizabeth was married to John Funk, Barbara to John Yagy, Annie to John Frantz, Kate to Joseph Bare, Magdalena to David Gockley, Sallie to Adam Frantz, and Maria to George Frantz. Ulrich Shirk (born 1751) had a family of twelve children, seven sons and five daughters, viz. : John, David, Samuel, Jacob, Ulrich, Joseph, and Peter, Annie, Catharine, Lizzie, Miah, and Sallie. The last named son, Peter, was married to Fanny Weaver. Their son, Moses, resides at present in the old homestead of the first- named Ulrich, and has a family of five daughters and one son. Michael Shirk, brother of Ulrich (born 1751), had a family of five sons and four daughters, viz. : John, Jacob, Michael, Joseph, Joel, Catharine, Nancy, Bevy, and Betsy. Of this generation Joel is the only one still living, and resides near Albion, Ind. The second son, Jacob, was married to Annie llanck, and had a family of thirteen children, six sons and seven daughters, viz. : Henry, George, Jacob, Rudolph, Michael, Obed, Mary, Susan, Annie, Leah, Lizzie, Sarah, and Hannah. Henry, born May 25, 1812, died Dec. 13, 1878, was married to Miss Bucher, and had a family of two daughters and six sons. George died at twenty-five years of age. Jacob, mar- ried to Ann Brubaker, has a family of one daughter. Rudolph, married to Bevy Reinhold, has a family of . six daughters and three sons.
Michael, born Sept. 26, 1820, died Sept. 10, 1881, was married to Mary Eberly; had a family of two sons and two daughters. He held the office of county treasurer for two years during the civil war, and served

a number of years as prison director. Obed, married to Elizabeth Eberly, has a family of five sons and five daughters,-Jacob, Edwin, Milton, Menno, Obed (de- ceased), Kate, Lizzie (deceased), Annie, Sallie, and Emma. Jacob married Susan B. Wolf, Milton E. to Lizzie Miller, and Menno to Susan llagy. The fol- lowing persons now live on the land first occupied by the original Shirk family : Rudolph Shirk, Moses Shirk, Obed Shirk, Milton E. Shirk, Menno Shirk, Daniel Steinmetz, Jacob Weist, Adam Fry, Hiram Snyder, Peter Hagy, Jeremiah Zually, and David Brubaker. In 1780 we find that Ulrich, David, and Michael, sons of the original Ulrich Shirk, were the only Shirks then living in the township of Cocalico, which proves that Casper and John had already sold their property and left for other parts. The land occupied by the first three Shirks extended from a point three-quarters of a mile north of the village of Schoeneck to a black-oak a mile and a quarter south of Schoeneck, from thence to Denver, and from Den- ver northwest to the place of beginning.
Becker Family .- In about 1737, Peter Becker set- tled a tract of fifty acres of land west of Ulrich Shirk's land. This tract is now owned by Ezra Becker, a descendant of the first settler. In 1736 a tract of land containing one hundred and seventy-four acres was surveyed west of Ulrich Shirk's land, and north of Peter Becker's land.
Hyple Tract .- In 1738, on the 16th of August, fifty acres of this tract was granted to Paul Ilyple. This tract embraced the land on which the village of Schoeneck is now situated.
Stetler Tract .- On Aug. 12, 1738, Christian Stetler received a deed from John, Thomas, and Richard Penn for the remaining one hundred and twenty-four acres for the consideration of nineteen pounds, five shillings, and fourpence, lawful money of Pennsyl- vania. This deed reserved the right of three-lifths of the productions of all the royal, or money, mines, and one-fifth of the productions of all other mines, free from cost of mining and refining. Also a tax of one-half penny per acre was to be paid annually, on the Ist of March, at Lancaster, in specie or currency, whatever the exchange may be. If not paid within ninety days after the Ist of March, the contract be- came void. In 1742, Christian Stetler sold his tract to Peter Shirk, one of the original Shirks, who in 1760 sold it to Christian Newcomer for three hundred and thirty pounds. Newcomer afterwards sold it to Jacob Hagy, whose grandsons, Sonomont and John, now own it.
Eberly, who at present owns the greater part of the original one hundred and ninety-four acres.
In 1733 a tract west of Cocalico Creek, containing one hundred and twenty-five acres, was granted to Ulrich Carpenter, and in 1737 a tract of one hundred and fourteen and three-quarters acres to George Mas- ters. These men did not comply with the rules of agreement, and their contract was declared void.
Eberly Tract .-- In 1741, Israel Eberly obtained a patent of these two tracts, containing two hundred and thirty-nine and three-quarters acres, for sixteen pounds and five shillings. This patent was granted in the fifteenth year of the reign of King George II., under the same conditions as that of Christian Stetler. This tract was afterwards successively owned by Chris- tian Liehty, Christian Schlechty, Anthony Dornbach, John Dornbach, Jacob Dornbach, and Obed Dorn- bach, who resides there at present.
Bricker Tract. - About the same time Peter Bricker obtained a grant of a tract containing seven or eight hundred aeres, situated east of the Cocalico Creek. In 1759 he built a house bearing the follow- ing inscription : "Gott gesegne dises haus, und ales was da geget ein und aus; Gott gesegne ale sampt, und dar zu, das gamze lant. Gott alein die ebr, sonst keinem manschen mehr. Anno 1759 jahrs. Peter Bricker, Elizabeth Brickerin." The above German inscription, when translated into English, reads as follows: God bless this house and all that go in and out; God bless all, and to it the whole land. Give God the honor, and no one else. In the year of our Lord 1759. Peter Brieker, Elizabeth Bricker. This house is a large sandstone building, thirty-six by forty feet, and was first used as an inn. It was at first roofed with tiles, but these have been replaced by shingles. The house is still as good as new, and is owned by Samuel Kurtz. About one and a half miles farther south, on the west side, close to the Co- calico, stands another house of the same size and make, but who the builder was we were unable to learn. It is at present owned by Jacob Smith.
Weist Tract .- In 1763, Jacob Weist bought a tract of one hundred and ninety-three and one-half acres of land, situated in the northern part of the township, from Christian Bauchman, of Lebanon County. After his death he left it to his son, Chris- tian, who was the father of Dr. Samuel Weist, the first doctor of West Cocalico. He was born Nov. 25, 1796, and died Jan. 9, 1883. Ilis nephew, Dr. Sam- uel Weist, and Dr. Lewis Weist, also a descendant of the same family, are at present prominent doctors of Schoeneck.
Another early settlement was made by Hans Peel- man, who in 1745 obtained a grant of three hundred and thirty-seven acres, situated east of Reinholds- ville, and is at present owned by Isaac Eberly. Other settlers near Reinholdsville previous to Peelman were Jacob Brunner, Michael Amwake, Abraham
Stauffer Tract .- In 1742, on the 15th of Septem- ber, Abraham Stauffer obtained a grant of one hun- dred and ninety-four and one-fourth acres, situated west of Christian Stetler's land, and north of l'eter Becker's, who, in 1761, sold one hundred acres to Peter Brubaker. This tract was successively owned by Daniel Bear, Stophel Gselle, John Gselle, John Keller, Daniel Keller, Jacob Eberly, and Ilenry | Yaegy, John Zimmerman, and Peter Shoemaker.

WEST COCALICO TOWNSHIP.
The Cones Tract .- John Cones and his sister , came to this country from Switzerland in about 1730. They arrived at Philadelphia, and being unable to pay their fare, were bound out for a term of service amounting to the cost of freight. By this mishap the brother and sister were separated, and knew nothing of each other till many years had elapsed. On meet- ing again, they were unable to express their joy in words, while their cheeks were moistened with tears of gladness. After being released from servitude, John eame to Cocalico township and obtained a pat- ent for about three hundred acres of land where Black Horse Hotel now stands. The greater part of his land lies in East Cocalico. Black Horse Hotel was built by John Cones in 1759 and 1760. This build- ing is still used as a public-house, and is the oldest tavern in West Cocalico.
Hertzog's Valley .- What is now known as Hert- zog's Valley was first settled by a man named Wertz. Afterwards Nicholas Hertzog came into possession of it, whose son, Nicholas, had a son named Peter, who was the father of Sammel, Peter, John, Daniel, and William. Of this generation Daniel was the father of Samuel, Daniel, and John. Samuel and Daniel are now living in the old valley.
The Baptists of Ephrata early obtained a patent of a large tract of land situated northeast of Schoeneck, where they obtained much of their timber used for building purposes at Ephrata. The Hohs, Rolands, Bares, Millers, and Reddigs were among the early settlers of what is now Stevens' Station.
