HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

Lehigh river near the Biery Bridge was razed in 1892 to utilize the stone for filling in the ap- proaches to the iron county-bridge erected on the site of the Biery Bridge. It was one of the early houses in the Lehigh Valley, having been built in 1757. It was familiarly known as the "Fred- erick Mansion," named after George Frederick, who was the owner of the farm on which it stood to the time of the construction of the Lehigh Valley R. R. in 1855, when he sold it to Asa Packer. One of the early owners was Jacob Yundt, who settled along the Lehigh river after taking up 278 acres in two warrants in 1750, which extended from the Biery Bridge down to Stephen Snyder's farm; and he erected the stone house known for years as "The Fort," because it is supposed to have been used as a place of refuge during the Indian incursions.

On account of their prominence in the early history of the town, I should mention also the Biery Grist-mill, the Breisch Home, and the Peter Home.

BIERY GRIST-MILL .- Opposite the Biery Tav- ern were the Biery grist-mill, together with a saw-mill and fulling-mill, and the fine two-story stone house (now the residence of Frank B. Mauser ). The mill-dam (abandoned) lay sev- eral hundred feet to the northeast, and the mill- race extended under what is now the northerly end of the Dery silk mill, and the yard of the Mauser residence. At the fulling-mill the bags of carded wool were fastened together with strong pins cut from the hawthorn hedges which grew along the road-sides in the township.

The farm-house along Race street, at Second was the residence of Jonas Biery, a son of Fred- erick, who conducted the farm. There was a small, rough-coated house where the Mauser barn is now located.

BREISCH HOME .- The Breisch home was on a farm of about seven acres. It occupied the site of Dr. Daniel Yoder's residence, at Third and Bridge streets.

PETER HOME .- The Peter farm lay along the river. It extended northward from Church street to a point 100 feet beyond Spring street, and eastward to the Howertown Road, except- ing the Breisch farm, which was "sandwiched in between." The farm house and barn were situ- ated opposite the Schneller Block; the former was built of stone and stood near the canal.

BOROUGH OF CATASAUQUA.

CHURCHES.

The following churches have been erected and maintained at Catasauqua :

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH .- The First Presbyterian church at Catasauqua was estab- lished when the Crane Iron Co. started its great works here in 1839, and David Thomas is re- garded as its founder. The first building was erected in a woods on the south end of a small triangular piece of ground at the extreme limits of the land purchased by the Crane Iron Co., which was donated by the Company for religious purposes. It adjoins the public road that led from Allen township on the north to the old town of Bethlehem on the southeast. The base or front of this land was 164 feet in length, and the other two sides each 158 feet.

By the suggestion of Mr. Thomas this small

The history of this congregation was concisely given in an address by Samuel Thomas, son of the founder, upon the occasion of celebrating on Sept. 23, 1904, the "Semi-Centennial Jubilee" of laying the corner-stone of the present church on the northeast corner of Second and Pine streets, and its completeness being recognized, it is substituted here in the place of a previously published narrative. It was entitled by him, "Early Reminiscences of the First Presbyterian church":

"Just fifty years ago, in the peace and calm of the early twilight of a beautiful September eve- ning, a group of Christian worshippers assembled to witness the ceremony of laying the corner stone of the First Presbyterian Church in whose shadow we are now standing, first in name only, but not in point of erection.

"The first church was a little frame building 25

piece of ground was enlarged by the Company to a rectangular figure 200 feet in width and 350 feet in depth.

The building was constructed of boards set upright, and covered by a shingle roof; and once a year it was white-washed, inside as well as outside, for which purpose a hogshead of lime was always on hand in a shed at the rear of the building. Three long iron rods were placed across the auditorium near the ceiling at equal distances, and these were fastened on the outside by nuts so as to keep the building firmly together. Camphene was used in lamps for lighting the room. The lamps were suspended from the ceil- ing and these could be lowered or elevated at will by simply pressing against a slender rod which extended through a little hole in the ceiling.

by 35 feet, built by David Minnich, in the woods between the reservoir and what is now Mrs. John Williams' garden, at the upper end of Church street, on land donated by the Crane Iron Co. The time was the last Sunday of December, 1839, cold and stormy, when the ground was covered with snow, and Brother John and I had nailed planks together to use as a plough to open paths through the heavy fall of snow. The storm was so severe that after the corner stone had been laid by Rev. Landis, pastor of the Allentown Presbyterian Church (the first English church in Lehigh county), the little congregation were obliged to continue the services in the home of Father Thomas, which is still standing opposite the Crane Iron Works.

"Of that little band of Presbyterian pioneers, I can find only three survivors besides myself: Mrs. Bender (nee Peter), and Mrs. Owen Swartz, her sister, and Mrs. Rehrig (nee Lackey), all the others having passed on to the beyond towards which we also are hastening.

"As near as my memory serves me, those present on this interesting occasion were the following :-

606

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

'Father' and 'Mother' Thomas with their five chil- dren (Jane, Gwenny, Samuel, John, and David), Mrs. James Lackey and daughter Maggie, John Samuels and daughter Rachel, Mrs. John Leibert, John Peter and family, Aaron Bast, Charles Breisch, Lawrence Landis, Mrs. Jonathan Landis and An- drew Archer. There were doubtless others, but these stand out clearest against the past.

"The little building has been demolished and the venerable black oak tree has been removed, in whose forked branches I, as a boy, hung the bell which called the faithful to prayers. This bell passed into the hands of the Crane Iron Co., by whom it was used once a month on pay-days to call the men together. It still hangs on a branch of the tree, close to the office, where the curious may find it. The tree and bell were natural means to a spiritual end and though they have passed out of use, the spirit abides for this church whose semi- centennial we celebrate to-day, and its great devel- opment into other churches, such as the Bridge Street Church, the church at Hokendauqua, the Bethel-Welsh Congregational church (known as 'Mother Thomas's Church'), the churches at Lock- ridge, Ferndale, and Richard's Mine in New Jersey, and the Presbyterian Church at Thomas in far off Alabama.

"All these churches are living branches of the tree which was planted in faith and hope fifty years ago on that inclement Winter Sunday by a band of earnest Presbyterian men and women. The women are worthy of special mention for they too car- ried their share of the burden cheerfully and nobly. Well do I remember my sister Gwenny, Rachel Samuels, Maggie Lackey, and Susanna Peter, brave and helpful young girls, who carried water in pails all the way from the canal to scrub and clean the church, and as the building was used for a day- school during the week, every Saturday morning it required their earnest attention.

"In a recent interview with Mrs. Owen Swartz and Mrs. Rehrig, whose personal recollections of the early times in the history of this church are very clear, I was reminded that services were held in my father's house until the completion of the building on March 22, 1840.

"This little white-washed church was used for worship until the present building was ready to be occupied in 1856. Two years after the laying of the corner stone, the church was dedicated, free of debts. My thoughts dwell with especial pleas- ure upon those far-off days, and the building of those early Walls of Zion in our adopted home. .

"As I review those early years, I see the earnest figures of my father and mother, who were stran- gers in a strange land, zealous from the beginning to see a house of worship planted here. When the church was organized, it numbered only three, fa- ther, mother, and sister Jane; and father was then ordained as first elder.

"About two years later, David Williams, Sr., lo- cated with his family at Catasauqua and he be- came a member of this church; and soon after- ward he was inducted into the eldership. He was a most excellent man, and though in poor health he was strenuous in all good works. It was he who took up the collection and acted as treasurer of the church. He died August 14, 1845, and his remains were laid to rest in the church yard after services in the little white church which he had served so well.

"As the population increased, the church in the

woods became too small. A special meeting of the congregation was therefore held to discuss ways and means for securing a new building. A com- mittee was appointed consisting of the pastor, Rev. Cornelius Earle, David Thomas, Morgan Emanuel, William McClelland, and Joshua Hunt.

"By an arrangement with David Thomas (who had donated some adjoining land to enlarge the church property on Church street), an exchange was made of that land which secured to the con- gregation the site of 180 by 180 feet at the corner of Second and Pine streets, upon which to-day stands the present church, the parsonage and the chapel. Plans having been made and adopted, suf- ficient funds were raised to warrant the new enter- prise.

"The corner-stone of the old church was brought here and deposited just previous to the ceremony of laying the new corner stone. It is a gray sand stone from near Kreidersville. It was fashioned by Charles Breisch and bears the date of 1839, which can be seen on examination. In the new stone a copper box was laid which, according to custom, contained a Bible, some coins, local papers, and whatever the copper box of the old corner stone had contained. An address was delivered by Rev. Richard Walker, of Allentown, and Rev. Leslie Ir- win of Bath assisted in the services.

"On Sunday, the IIth day of May, 1856, the church was solemnly dedicated to the worship of God. Rev. Geo. Duffield, D.D., preached the dedi- catory sermon, Rev. C. Earle and Rev. R. Walker taking part in the services. Rev. Jacob Becker preached German in the afternoon.

The edifice is built of brick, semi-Gothic in style. The main building is 40 by 63 feet, ex- clusive of tower and pulpit recess; and it has a transept on the south side 20 by 30 feet, which forms part of the audience room, and also an organ transept on the north side, 10 by 20 feet. The organ was the gift of David Thomas. The spire is 150 feet high, a fine-toned bell being in the tower. The congregation had been regularly incorporated in 1853.

As commemorative of the re-union of the Old School and New School Assemblies of the Presbyterian church, a memorial chapel was

built on Pine street at the rear of the edifice in 1871, the cornerstone having been laid May 13th, and the dedication having taken place on December 10th. This building is also of brick, semi-Gothic in style, 35 by 82 feet. It contains rooms for all church purposes; and it is used for mid-week services and by the Sabbath-school.

Forty feet north of the church, fronting on Second street there is an attractive and conven- iently planned manse, built of brick, in style cor- responding with the church.

Rev. Cornelius Earle served as pastor in a most efficient manner from Oct. 14, 1852 to

A Sunday-school has been conducted in con- nection with the church from the beginning and the superintendents have been prominently iden- tified with the church as elders:

David Thomas, 1839 to 1847; elder from 1839 to 1882.

Joshua Hunt, 1847 to 1882; elder from 1847 to 1886. John Williams, 1882 to 1892; elder from 1874 to 1892. Joseph Matchette, 1892 to 1914; elder from 1892 to 1914.

The membership of the church in December, 1913, was 234; of the Sunday-school, 300.

1898, when he resigned, after a continuous serv- ice covering a period of forty-six years.

During the year 1899, the regular services were conducted by other licensed Presbyterian ministers, but mostly by Rev. Charles H. Miller, who was finishing his course of studies in the Theological Seminary at Princeton, N. J., but had been licensed to preach in 1898.

Rev. Mr. Miller was elected as the successor of Rev. Earle in October, 1899, and installed as the pastor on Feb. 8, 1900, and since then he has served the congregation in a most efficient manner.

BRIDGE STREET CHURCH .- Rev. Leslie Irwin, at the time of building the little frame church, was the pastor of the congregation in the "Irish Settlement." He was a graduate of the Royal Belfast College, and having been licensed to preach by the Synod of Ulster, he emigrated to America in 1834. He was received as a licen- tiate by the Presbyterians of Philadelphia on Dec. 22, 1835, and there ordained as an evan- gelist, with orders to locate in the "Irish Settle- ment." Upon his arrival he found two churches, one at Weaversville and the other near Bath, both of which are still standing.

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

The erection of a church of the same faith within the boundaries of his parish without au- thority of the Presbytery, and the removal of influential families like the Nagles, Depews, Lod- ers, Lyles, and Hudders, to the new village, caused him to be on the alert. He therefore vis- ited the people who had come from his own coun- try in the north of Ireland, and finding himself in touch with them, he requested permission to preach to them in this new church, which was given.

At great personal inconvenience and in spite of inclement weather, he visited the families from house to house, and once every Sabbath preached the gospel to them. Finally, in 1850, in com- pliance with their request, set out in a petition, the Presbytery of Newton organized another con- gregation with thirty-two members and ordained James McClelland as its first ruling elder. Rev. Irwin continued his ministrations in a most faith- ful manner for fifteen years until 1865, when he was succeeded by Rev. James Lewars. In 1852 he succeeded in securing the erection of a church on Bridge street, a short distance west of the Howertown Road, on the additional lot of ground, containing 2 acres 76 perches which had been granted and conveyed in 1849 by John Peter to David Thomas, Robert McIntyre, Owen Rice, Samuel Thomas, William Taylor, David Williams, and John Peter, as trustees of the Presbyterian congregation. Before this time a memorial to the Presbytery was signed by 170 individuals, as residents of Craneville, and a re- port was forwarded in 1850, stating that there were 62 members in communion with the church.

After the purchase of this small additional tract of land the "old school members" desired to withdraw from the "Union Church," and ef- fect a division of the assets, having, in a petition to the Crane Iron Co., styled themselves as the "Presbyterian Church of Craneville," though neither of the two congregations had as yet been incorporated. The Presbytery at Newton rec- ognized Rev. Irwin's congregation as the "old school." The lot, known as the "Academy Lot," was eventually sold, the debt on it satisfied, and the surplus equally divided between the two con- gregations respectively known as the "Old School" and "New School." These designations subsequently became offensive to the respective members and a change was accordingly made so that the congregation which erected their new church in 1852 on Bridge street was named "The First Old School Presbyterian Church," and that which erected theirs in 1854 at Pine and Second streets was named "The First Pres- byterian Church." The former was incorpo-

rated in 1851, and the application was signed by

Robert McIntyre William Miller

John McIntyre William Baird

John Hudders Thomas Knox

John G. Loder James Pollock

William Taylor F. W. Quigg

The first edifice erected in 1852 on Bridge street was a plain, brick, one-story building and this was used until 1866, when the present brick church was erected in its place. A two-story brick parsonage was erected shortly after 1852 on the lot east of the church for the use of the pastor.

From that time, the so-called "old-school" have worshipped in the building by themselves. In the proceedings of incorporating the respective congregations, this distinction was studiously avoided, and the only public evidence of its ex- istence is the inscription of the letters "O S" on the corner stone of the Bridge Street Church.

The membership of the congregation was as follows: In 1850, 32; in 1865, 105; in 1873, 225; in 1900, 159; in 1913, 271.

Pastors .- The pastors have been :

Leslie Irwin, 1839-65 David Harbison, 1876-1901

James Lewis, 1865-68 Benj. F. Hammond, 1902-09

William Fulton, 1868-75 Harry W. Ewig, 1909-14

Four young men of this church became candi- dates for the ministry, and, after a thorough preparation, were regularly installed as ministers of the Gospel according to the Presbyterian faith. Their names are Nathaniel McFetridge, John Ir- win, Albert J. Weisley, and Joseph L. Weisley.

The "Semi-Centennial Jubilee" of the church was appropriately celebrated by the congregation May 6-11, 1900; and as a "souvenir" of this occasion, a neat little volume was compiled, em- bracing a concise history of the church, and dis- tributed among the members.

A Sunday-school was organized by the first pastor about the time he began his pastorate here and it has been conducted until the present time. The superintendents have been Joseph McMul- lin, John Hudders, and William Weisley, the last named since July 14, 1872. The member- ship in December, 1913, was 170.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH .- In 1845 a small number of persons, who were attached to the Methodist Episcopal Church, met in the home of Isaac Lorash, on Church street, east of Front street, near the present Town-Hall, and they were addressed by the Rev. Newton Heston, of Allentown. This was the first attempt at establishing this denomination at Catasauqua. From that time, during a period of ten years, at

irregular intervals, different ministers went from Allentown and Bethlehem to Catasauqua and preached to little meetings of zealous Methodists at their respective homes, among them having been Revs. George Quigley, Thomas Murphy, and Samuel Irvine; and one of the first places was the home of Owen Frederick, whose wife A. Jeannette Frederick, was particularly active in this behalf. This home was on Front street where 'Squire Koons now resides.

The religious meetings at the homes soon be- came too large, and the use of the Second Street School-house (now the Lennox Factory), was secured from the school directors. The ministers who preached here were Revs. A. H. Hobbs, H. H. Hickman, and F. D. Eagan, and some of the more prominent members, besides Mrs. Frederick, were Mrs. Amelia Matchette, Mrs.

for the regular services, and also for the use of the Sunday-school; and during the process of completion a "Festival' was held here from which the special committee realized $700, which was appropriated towards the cost of the building. Be- sides the active members mentioned, others were: Mrs. Amelia Goodsell, and a Mr. and Mrs. Mclaughlin, and their daughter. The first meeting of a Board of Trustees was held in April, 1860, and this was composed of Charles Graffin, Arthur Campbell and Joseph Reichert.

This first church was realized chiefly through the earnest preaching of Rev. Eagan, and the steadfast co-operation of Mrs. Frederick, who frequently practiced much self-denial to secure successful meetings. The old Bible and hymn- books, and the lamps and collection boxes, which were used at the previous meetings in the private

Margaret Rogers, and Samuel Steele. After meeting in the school-house for some time they were permitted to conduct their services in the little frame Evangelical church on Howertown Road, and there, during the year 1858, twenty persons were converted to Methodism.

During the later years, with the membership constantly increasing, the subject of a denomina- tional church began to be discussed with great earnestness, and this met with so much en- couragement that a lot, 50 by 189 feet, was se- cured in 1859, situated on Front street beyond Walnut, from James W. Fuller, Sr., for $450, and building operations were begun. The cor- ner stone was laid in June, and by December 25th, the building was dedicated, a one-story brick edifice. The basement was first completed

homes, school-house and Evangelical church are in the possession of Mrs. Frederick's family. The auditorium was not finished until 1867.

A charter of incorporation was obtained in November, 1860, with the name of Grace Meth- odist Episcopal church of Catasauqua, Pa.
