Industries .- In 1808, Frederick Reinhold built a tannery on the farm first settled by llans Peelman. This tannery has been in operation since that time, with the exception of a few years, and is the only tannery still in operation in West Cocalico. Hans Jackey formerly had a tannery on the farm now owned by Peter Gelsinger. The chopping-mill now owned by Samuel Binkley, situated half a mile north of Reinhold's Station, was once a carding-, fulling-, and dyeing-mill. In this vicinity another carding- mill was built and operated by John Flickinger in about the year 1800. Ilis son Benjamin next came into possession of it, who sold it to Daniel Pana- becker. Panabecker changed the old concern into a

boring-mill. This industry was followed for a time, but was discontinued a number of years ago. The old homestead is now owned by Daniel Panabecker, Jr. One mile south of Black Horse, in about the year 1820, Henry Hildabidle built a boring-mill on Swaup Creek. This mill was actively operated by Jesse Lutz till about the year 1865, since which time it has stood idle. At present the old mill is being re- modeled and changed to a cotton-lap factory by Jesse Lutz. Near the same place, on the west bank of Swanp Creek, in 1875, Jesse Lutz built a hat-factory. Ile placed in it an engine of forty-five horse-power, and machinery having, with twenty-eight hands em- ployed, a capacity of turning out from forty to fifty dozen hats per day. In 1881 the business became dull, and the factory has since stood idle. In 1793, Nicholas Keesecker built a mill on the Cocalico, near Cocalico Post-office, which is the first place where the water of the Cocalico makes itself useful as a motive-power. It is a three-story sandstone build- ing, with four run, of stones and saw-mill attached. It was successively owned by Simon Elick, - Lesher, Philip Stober, Benjamin Weist, and Joel Weist, the present owner. The second mill on the Cocalico is at present owned by John Lengel. It was built about the year 1810 by Jacob Zinn. It has a capacity of two pair of burrs and two pair of chop- pers, with saw-mill attached. Christian Minich, Samuel Landis, and Reuben Landis followed Zinn as owners of this mill. About one hundred yards farther down the creek stood an old mill, but when it was built or by whom nothing is known ; a part of the foundation is all that now marks its existence. The third power improved on the Cocalico is at the old saw-mill at present owned by Isaac Dornbach. This was at first a carding- and fulling-mill, after- wards a boring-mill, operated by Daniel Lutz. About one-half mile farther down stood another boring-mill, also owned by Daniel Lutz. In 1864, George Burk- holder bought the old mill, and erected in its stead a grist-mill, thirty by thirty-six feet, with three runs of stones. It is at present owned by Noah Wein- hold. The last place in West Cocalico where the water of the Cocalico lends its power is at John llacker's saw-mill. In the northern part of the township, on llarnish's Creek, Samuel Harnish erected a mill in about the year 1840. It is at pres- ent owned by William Bechtel. A little farther down the creek is situated John Kurtz's grist- and saw-mill.

In the western part of the township, on Indian Creek, is situated a fulling- and carding-mill, with saw-mill attached, which was built about the year 1790 by John Hibsman. Samuel Eberly next got possession of it, and sold it to Benjamin Hemegay, the present owner. This is the only carding-mill now in West Cocalico, and in 1832 it carded but one bale. In about the year 1830, Nicholas llertzog, of Hert- zog's Valley, distilled apple whiskey in a rude still

dug into the ground, covered with boards to protect it from inelement weather. About the same time there were two distilleries of the same kind near Cocalico Post-office. In about the year 1820 a man by the name of Haverstich distilled at Reinholds- ville. Later the distillery was bought by William Eiebach, who transformed it into a store and hotel. This place was long known to be a lively place for the young folks to assemble. A private house now oe- cupies the seat of the old industries. Three-quarters of a mile north of Reinholdsville Peter Bruner distilled peach whiskey in about the year 1830. One mile east of Schoencek, on the farm of the late Peter Ilefly, now owned by Benedict Weinhold, stands the re- mains of what was known as the Mishler's distillery. In this building the business was probably carried on more extensively than in any other. Judging from the number of distilleries, we may infer that the use of rum was formerly quite freely indulged in, but to the credit of our present community we can say that there is not one distillery operated at present (1883).

Military .- West Cocalico had three companies of militia under the old militia system, viz. : Reddid's, Schoeneek, and Reinholds. These companies were required to meet annually, on the first Monday of May, in their respective places, for drill and disci- pline, and those who were absent had to pay a fine of one dollar. On the following Wednesday in May these three companies met those of Reamstown and Red Run at Reamstown, where they had their battalion drills and parade. On this day the companies were drawn up for battle and sham battles fought (some- times real ones, too). To every company there was a captain, and to every battalion a general. This order of meeting was abolished about the year 1846. Henry and Benjamin Kegerise, John Nye, and Samuel Lutz were soldiers in the war of 1812. Not one of these men is now living, but the wife of Henry Kegerise is alive and in her eighty-eighth year, and draws an annual pension of eighty dollars. In 1771, Thomas Edwards came to this country from Dublin, Ireland, and served as colonel in the Revolutionary war. He was after- wards sheriff of Lancaster County, and died in Lan- easter City. His son, John Edwards, served as a soldier, under Gen. Anthony Wayne, against the In- dians in the Northwest in 1791. Later, he returned and settled near Reinholdsville, and served as captain under the old militia system. His son, John Ed- wards, Jr., who is now eighty years old, lives in the northwestern part of the township, and has a family of five sons and two daughters.

In 1771, Thomas Edwards brought with him from Ireland Robert Coleman, then a boy nineteen years of age, who came to Elizabeth Furnace as a wood- chopper, but on account of his good penmanship and liberal education was soon appointed chief elerk of the furnace. Later, he married a daughter of the proprietor and has become the father of the famous Coleman family.

CHAPTER XLIV.

COLERAIN TOWNSHIP .!

Geography and Topography .- This township is situated in. the southeastern part of the county: It was organized in February, 1738, and contains an area of nineteen thousand four hundred and ninety- seven acres. It is bounded on the north by Bart and Sadsbury, on the east by Chester County, south by Little Britain, west by Drumore, and northwest by Eden township. Stewart's Run and the west branch of Octorara Creek separate it from Drumore and Little Britain, and the main branch of Octorara sep- arates it from Chester County. In 1860 the popula- tion of Colerain was 1570; in 1870 it had increased to 1655, of which 1596 were native-born and 59 foreign. In 1880 the population was 1663. The sur- face of the township is rolling, the soil is gravel and elay, and by the use of artificial fertilizers is rendered very productive, and compares favorably with the surrounding townships. It was settled principally by Irish, receiving its name from a place of the same name in Ireland. With the very earliest settlement here we find familiarly associated the names Allison, Anderson, Longhead, MeConnel, and Barclay.

Pioneer Settlers .- The MeCommon family were among the early settlers in Colerain. Samuel Me- Common came to this country from Ireland in 1758, and settled on land previously occupied by Thomas Baird. It is situated about one mile southeast of the village of Union. Mr. MeCommon was a miller by trade, and had the following children : Martha, mar- ried to Matthew Scott; Mary, to Andrew Haney ; Robert, to Tersey Kennedy; James, to Elizabeth Patterson ; Sarah, to Joseph Smith; Jane, to James Henry ; and Ann, to James Derling: The latter lived on the property now owned by Joseph White.

James MeCommon, of this family, was the father of the generation of MeCommons, some of whom are now living in this township. He was born in 1763, and reared the following children : Samuel, married to Isabella Ross; he lived on his farm in this town- ship for a number of years, when he removed to Oxford, Chester Co., and died about the year 1881. John, unmarried, and still residing in Colerain on the old MeCommon property ; Margaret, married to Alexander W. Morrison, of Little Britain township; Mary, married to Hugh MeConnel ; Robert, to Re- becca Scott; Patterson, removed to Ohio, where he died; Joseph, to Catherine Hayes, of Little Britain.

Ilugh Andrews was born in Colerain township, Nov. 14, 1794. He married Francoria Wilson, daugh- ter of James Wilson, of Chester County, Feb. 5, 1824, and during the same year built the first house in the village of Union. This house is now occupied by Jeremiah Kepperling. He resided here until April,

1851, when he sold his farm and removed to Laneas- ter. Having been long accustomed to an active life he soon became weary of retirement, and in Septem- . ber, 1855, he purchased a farm near Mount Union, Huntingdon Co., P'a., where both he and his wife died suddenly, within three weeks after their removal to the farm, the former Oct. 19, and the latter Oct. 21, 1855. Mr. Andrews was a member of the State Legislature during the session of 1811 and 1842, a member of the school board when the first publie school-houses were erected in Colerain township, and an elder in Union Presbyterian Church. flis son, Professor James W. Andrews, is principal of Union High School.

Jolin Gable came to Colerain among the early set- tlers. His native country was Germany. He married Eve Sides, a grandaunt of B. F. Sides, M.D., of Dru- more township. His children were Mary, married to Joseph Parker; both are now dead. John, married to Margaret Fleming, of Chester County ; he died about the year 1874. David, unmarried; and Henry, married to Margaret Ralston. It is supposed that John Gable settled here about 1800. The land lies about one-fourth of a mile west of the village of Union, and has remained in the Gable name since the previous named date. It is now occupied by Henry and John Gable.

Alkinab Dare settled in Colerain in 1815. He was formerly a resident of Wilmington, Del. His son George studied medicine and practiced for a num- ber of years in this township, and was regarded as a very skillful physician. His wife, Ann Dickey, an invalid for many years, died in 1881. Ile removed to Oxford in 1880, where he now resides with his daughter, Mrs. Madison Lovett. Alkinah Dare's other children are Edward Dare, residing in Drumore township, and married to Naney Retzer, of the same township; John K., James M., and Francis M., who married Miss Whiteside, and resides in Oxford, Pa. ; Ann Maria, married to Mahlon Brown; Mary C., married to William Whiteside first, and afterwards to Ezra Kimball.

John Ferguson, the father of the Colerain Fergu- sons, removed from Bart to Colerain in 1818. Ile married Elizabeth Wilson. His children now living are Abram, married to Mary Reed, of Providence township; William, married to Mary Hlogg ; Robert, married to Elizabeth Reed; Thomas, married to Anna Dripps, of Philadelphia; Benjamin, married to Isa- bel McConnel; Ann Eliza, unmarried; Nathaniel, married to Anna Davenport. The latter moved to Berks County, and is now the proprietor of the Robi- sonia Furnace. Two members of this family, John and Margaret, are dead.

and Daniel, married to Isabella Harrar. He moved to Delaware, and died in 1880.

The Swisher family, of which there are several branches, were among the oldest residents of Colerain. One bitinch consists of Jeremiah Swisher's family. Ile married Mary Pennington, and reared the follow- ing-named children : Rachet, married to Robert Hogy; Robert, to Lettie Brinton, of Pequa ; he removed to New Jersey, and died about 1880; John II., to Anna Dempsey, of Champaign County, Ohio; Eliza, to Iliram MeCleneghan; Martha, to William Hogg; Cecelia, to William Hackett; Samuel, to Amanda Miller; Hannah, to Hiram Pierce; Jeremiah, to Martha Ann Miller ; Susan and Emma, died unmar- ried.

Old Roads .-- At the Quarter Sessions of the Lan- easter County Court, held in November, 1803, sundry persons of Colerain applied for a road to be laid out, "Beginning at James Anld's tavern, thence the nearest and best way to the creek, near Robert Pen- nington's."

The court appointed George Cooper, Joshua Cham- berlain, Adam Trover, Jacob Rockey, Christian Bare, and David Bowen to view the ground for the said road, and if they, or any five of them, view the said ground, and any four of the actual viewers agree that there is occasion for such road, they shall proceed to lay out the same as agreeable to the desire of the pe- titioners. The road was laid out and report made ac- cordingly at the February sessions, 1804.

At the February Quarter Sessions for 1804 a pe- tition was presented by the inhabitants of Colerain and vicinity for a bridge across the Octorara at Auld's tavern. The petition sets forth that the inhabitants of Chester County propose to pay one-half the ex- pense of said bridge. The court appointed David Sterrett, John Anderson, Patterson Bell, James Cooper, Samuel Downing, and William Brown to view the ground and make report at the next Quarter Sessions. The bridge was built.

In 1804 the inhabitants of Colerain and vicinity petitioned for a road to be laid out through Colerain, from Jonathan Webb's forge to Thomas Clendenin's mill. This road ran through the garden of James Clendenin, and the improved lands of Joseph An- drews, Walter Bunting, William Barkley, and Paul Ralston, Sr. The road was opened, and at the No- vember sessions, in 1805, the above-named persons petitioned the court to have the damage appraised. The court appointed as such appraisers Patterson Bell, James Anerim, James Cooper, Samuel Downing, James Thompson, and Abram Whiteside to view and assess damage.

At the November sessions, in 1804, the inhabitants of Colerain 'and vicinity petitioned for a road, " Be- ginning at or near Samuel P'usey's mill, in Drumore, and ending at or near Thomas Clendenin's mill." The petition set forth " That Rock Forge being lately

Daniel Harrar and wife, Margaret Miller, of Mont- gomery County, came to Colerain in 1823, and settled on the old Anderson property. Their children are William, married to Isabella Galbraith; Miller, to Margaret Galbraith; Lydia Ann, died ummarried; Ierected, and have not any publie road near them,

their proprietors do evidently labor under great dis- advantage for want of said road for their benefit, and the general advantage of the public."

The court appointed Robert Maxwell, Patterson Bell, William Downing, James Cooper, John Baird, and John Beam to view and lay out the road, which was accordingly done.

At the February term of Quarter Sessions, 1805, a petition was presented by the inhabitants of Cole- rain to lay out a road from " The place where the road called John Stewart's crosses the run, south of Richard Mackey's, to Octorara Creek, at the turn be- tween Robert Annan's and Thomas Love's."

The court appointed Patterson Bell, James An- crim, James Cooper, Samuel Downing, James Thomp- son, and Abram Whiteside to view and lay out said road.
