During the year 1907-08 an attractive bank building was erected with the most approved equipment for banking purposes, with assurance of protection against loss from fire or burglary. It is two-story, built of terra cotta; the first floor commodious and convenient of access, is occupied by the bank, and the second floor is set apart for offices.

SAVINGS ASSOCIATIONS .- The first mutual association formed at Catasauqua for the sav- ing of money was in 1868. It was called "Me- chanics' Land, Loan, Saving and Building Asso- ciation." The officers were Joshua Hunt, pres- ident ; John Williams, treasurer; David Davis, secretary. It was conducted simply as a savings association, the moneys paid in by members be- ing loaned. The shares numbered about 1,200, held by members from five shares to fifty. The par value was $200. This value was realized in eleven years, and in 1879 the affairs of the asso- ciation were closed.

A similar association named "Catasauqua," was formed in January, 1870, by William H. Glace, Esq. The officers were Charles W. Chapman, president; Robert E. Williams, sec- retary. The par value was realized in twelve years, notwithstanding the panic of 1873-76. It covered 2,500 shares. These two were the only associations of this kind.

Since 1887, three associations have been or- ganized and respectively run in series after the twelfth year when the par value of $200 of the first series was reached. They are the "Home," organized Feb. 2, 1887; the "Catasauqua," or- ganized Jan. 13, 1890; and the "Lehigh," or- ganized in July, 1910.

As to the "Home," for the fifteen series com- pleted, 4,300 shares were in force, 1,811 ma- tured, the total payments amounted to $370,000, and the value of the shares of the several series ran from $205 to $212. As to the "Catasauqua," the figures of the maturing series were about the same. This shows reliable and successful man- agement.

OLD HOME WEEK CELEBRATION .- During the week of June 28 to July 4, 1914, Catasauqua held an old home week celebration, which was very successful, and which attracted many former residents. The president of the Old Home Week Association was Leonard Peckitt; secretaries, Harry H. Aubrey and Daniel B. Quinn; treas- urer, James S. Stillman. The executive commit- tee was composed of the chairmen of the several committees : J. S. Elverson, finance; William H. Glace, Esq., historical ; Rev. David R. Grif- fith, memorial ; Captain Joseph Matchette, parade " and music; Edmund Randall, publicity; Albert B. Lee, fireworks; Thomas Deemer, decoration ; John L. Shick, entertainment; Harry B. Weaser, educational ; and Wilson Scott, concessions.

CHAPTER XXV.

BOROUGH OF COPLAY.

The borough of Coplay is situated on the Le- l.igh River about five miles north of Allentown on a part of the tract of land of 400 acres pur- chased by John Jacob Schreiber from the Penn's in 1740. The original Schreiber home was lo- cated along the Lehigh River.

For many years the only settlement of this place consisted of the following: Jacob later Owen Schreiber homestead where now the Cop- lay cement mill, No. A, is located. The build- ing was erected in 1799, and is still standing, having been used by the Coplay Cement Com- pany as an office and later as a machine and tool shop; the Edward Schrieber homestead, now owned and occupied by Samuel B. Schaadt, and the Daniel Schrieber homestead located along the Lehigh River where the Thomas Iron Company now has its cinder dump. For a long time the place was known as Schrieber. A ferry crossing the Lehigh at this place was known as Schrieber's ferry. A short distance to the west of the Coplay station the distillery known as Schrieber's distil- lery was located. The building was moved a short distance to the west and is now used as a dwell- ing place by foreigners. The place was later known as Lehigh Valley, no doubt receiving its name from the Lehigh Valley Iron Company whose furnaces were located at this place. In 1854 when the Thomas Iron Company was or- ganized and located at what is now Hocken- dauqua, the place was known as Coplay, named after the creek which empties into the Lehigh River a short distance to the south. The Thomas Iron Company being a competitor of the Crane Iron Company of Catasauqua, for the purpose of attracting trade selected the name Hocken- dauqua after the name of creek emptying into the Lehigh on the opposite side of the river and erected a large sign with the following inscrip- tion on it: "This place shall henceforth be known as Hockendauqua."

Lehigh Valley was then changed to Coplay. Coplay being a corruption from "Kolapechka" the name of the son of the Indian Chief Paxa- nosa, who lived at the head of the creek named after him near Unionville.

The borough of Coplay was formed out of a part of Whitehall township in 1869. The fol- lowing is the record of the court, Feb. 10, 1869, petition of citizens of the village of Coplay pre-

sented praying for a charter of incorporation ; same day petition ordered to be laid before the grand jury.

"April 7, 1869, the grand jury returned the charter of incorporation approved. Charles Keck, foreman."

"Now, April 7, 1869, the court confirms the judgment of the grand jury and decree that the said town of Coplay be incorporated into a bor ough, in conformity with the prayers of the peti- tioners and the corporate style and title thereof shall be 'The Borough of Coplay.''

Schools .- A stone school house was erected at Schrieber's prior to 1830. The school house stood in West Coplay, near the bridge crossing the Ironton Railroad. It was the public school for the people living at Coplay, Hockendauqua and surrounding sections. It was abandoned as a school in 1869 and was used later as a hospital for smallpox patients. The building was torn down a number of years ago.

WASHINGTON SCHOOL BUILDING, BUILT 1909.

In 1860 the citizens of Coplay expressed a de sire for a school house in the growing village to have it more convenient for the children and to use it occasionally for religious purposes. The same year a one-story brick school house was erected at the corner of Second street and Key- stone alley. The corner-stone of this building had the following inscription: "Lehigh Valley School House, 1860." When the new school

building on Chestnut street was erected the cornerstone of the old building was removed and placed below the corner-stone of the new build ing. Part of the walls of the old building are still standing; upon it the second school house of Coplay was built in 1870 containing four rooms. This is now known as the town hall and is used by the town council and the fire com pany. The third building was erected in 1892 on Chestnut street, containing 10 rooms and all the modern conveniences. In 1909 the Wash- ington building containing four rooms, known

president of the "Allentown Female College," a minister of the Reformed Church, started to preach occasionally to an unorganized congrega- tion in the school house. Rev. S. A. Leinbach having been elected pastor of the Egypt charge moved to Coplay in 1868 and in the absence of Rev. Hofford frequently conducted services in the school house. The first communion services were held in the school house April 16, 1871.

Trinity Reformed congregation was organized Feb. 12, 1871, when the following persons were elected : Elders, Owen L. Schrieber and Benja-

SCHREIBER HOMESTEAD, BUILT 1799.

as the High School building was erected at the corner of Fourth and Center streets.

Churches .- The borough of Coplay has two churches, Reformed and Lutheran. As early as 1859 religious services were held in Aaron Schrie- ber's barn by William C. Rothrock, who was a licentiate of the Reformed Church, and at the time teaching school at Siegfried's. Aaron and David Schrieber, the owners of the lumber yard at Coplay, furnished the lumber for the tem- porary seats. A small table now in possession of James and Maria Schrieber was used as a pul- pit. On a number of occasions the services were so well attended that the seats were all occupied and a number of persons stood throughout the entire service.

After the school house was erected in 1860 services were frequently held in the school house. About the year 1867 Rev. W. R. Hofford,

min S. Levan ; Deacons, A. F. K. Krout, C. H. Knerr, Edward S. Haaf and Nathaniel Stofflet. Through the liberality of B. S. Levan and the Lehigh Valley Iron Company the Reformed congregation was enabled to erect a house of worship. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Lehigh Valley Iron Company, held March 22, 1872, the following action was taken:

"Resolved, That the Lehigh Valley Iron Com- pany will give a suitable lot of ground for the erection of a Reformed Church in Coplay and pay two thousand dollars in cash for the erection of the same."

The corner-stone was laid July 28, 1872, and the church was dedicated June 14 and 15, 1873 The church is constructed of brick, the dimen- sions are 40 x 60 feet and originally had a high steeple. This was blown down during a severe storm in 1882. The same year a new tower was

erected. In 1891 an annex 32 x 40 of brick was built for Sunday school purposes. In 1892 the congregation was chartered. In 1902 steam heat and electric lights were installed. In 1907 the beautiful and commodious parsonage was erected at the corner of Fourth and Coplay streets. In 1910 a Wilson rolling partition was placed between the church and Sunday school room. Art windows were installed and the church and Sunday school rooms were frescoed. The following pastors have served the congrega- tion : Rev. S. A. Leinbach, 1872 to Dec. 31, 1883; Rev. W. R. Hofford, Jan. 1, 1884, to Jan. 31, 1901 ; Rev. Thos. H. Krick, Aug., 1901, to present time. The Sunday school was organ- ized May 26, 1871. The Coplay cemetery was dedicated Oct. 18, 1874.

St. John's Evangelical Lutheran congregation of Coplay, was organized on Ascension Day, May 22, 1873, through the efforts of Rev. J. D. Schindel, D.D., who became the first pastor. Rev. F. J. F. Schantz had in years past preached in the public school house and it was there that the congregation was organized.

Until the year 1882 the congregation worship- ped in the same building with Trinity Reformed congregation. Early in 1882, however, the pas- tor with much consecration supported by a will- ing congregation, began to solicit subscription and within ten months there stood on Third street, between Center and Coplay streets, a church building for the Lutheran congregation, dedicated to the worship of God and free from debt. The services of dedication were held on Nov. 12, 1882.

Upon the resignation of Dr. Schindel in 1883 Rev. G. W. Sandt, D.D., now editor of The Lutheran, was elected pastor and served for a period of one year. With the departure of Dr. Sandt, Dr. Schindel again became the pastor and remained so until his death on June 27, 1908.

In the year 1900 building operations were again begun to accommodate the growing con- gregation and Sunday school, and on Sept. 7, 1902, a new church building, having twice the capacity of the first, was dedicated. Again, largely through the efforts of the indefatigable pastor, Dr. Schindel, this building was soon paid for.

In the year 1899 Rev. J. J. Schindel, a son of the pastor, became his assistant, and since his death has remained pastor of the congrega- tion to the present time. Since 1883 there has been a flourishing Sunday school in connection with the congregation.

In 1886 an Evangelical Church was erected at the corner of Second and Hall streets. The congregation was abandoned in 1906. The

building was later purchased by the American Steam Engineers and is now used as a lodge hall.

INDUSTRIES.

In the Summer of 1853 a company was or- ganized under the firm of Stephen Balliet & Co., consisting of Stephen Balliet, Stephen Balliet, Jr., Aaron Balliet and Benjamin S. Levan for the purpose of erecting and operating an iron furnace. Twelve acres of land on the west bank of Coplay Creek were purchased from Daniel Schrieber and the foundation of Furnace No. I was laid in the Fall of the same year. A block of frame houses for the workingmen was also built in the Fall of 1853.

Stephen Balliet dying in 1854 a reconstruction of . the firm became necessary. Joseph Lanbach and Lewis A. Buckley were admitted as partners. The company was now incorporated as the Le- high Valley Iron Company. A superintendent's house was erected in the Fall of 1855. In 1862 Furnace No. 2 and another block of houses was erected. In 1867 Furnace No. 3 and a row of brick houses on Third street was erected.

In 1878 the year of financial depression busi- ness was discontinued. On June 18, 1879, the Coplay Iron Company (Limited) was incor- porated. The business was carried on with vary- ing degrees of succes until 1885 or 1886 when it was again reorganized under the name of Coplay Iron Company and continued until 1890 when it went into liquidation.

Gallia Silk Mill of Coplay was established under the name of The Lehigh Valley Silk Mill on April 15, 1901, and in 1908 the name was changed to Gallia Silk Mills. The main build- ing is situate at the corner of Third and Chest- nut streets, and was erected in 1900. The mill has a capacity of 357 looms. The company man- ufactures all kinds of silk dress goods, chiefly, black goods. The mill is well equipped with modern machinery to turn out the best material known on the market.

George Beishlag was superintendent of the mill for ten years. The mill gives employment to more people than any public enterprise in Cop- lay with the exception of the cigar factory. A. Alexander is the general superintendent and L. W. Lutton is the manager under whose skill- ful mangement the mill has made considerable improvement.

Cigar Factory .- In 1904 Victor Thorsch & Co. purchased the building formerly used by Person & Riegel as a general merchandise store and remodeled the interior and started a cigar factory. In 1905 T. J. Dunn & Co., of New York, purchased the plant, stock and good will

and are still trading under the firm name of Victor Thorsch & Co. The company manufac- ture the famous New Bachelor cigar. They oc- cupy a four-story brick building, 96 x 42, and a one-story frame building 100 x 45. They em- ploy 300 people. Joseph P. Karch is the general manager of the plant.

Brick Yard .- E. B. Rader, proprietor of the Rader Brick Yards, established the business in 1890. The first year he made brick by hand, em- ploying eight men and turned out 6,000 bricks. He now employs 15 people and manufactures a million a year. The bricks are used mostly lo cally. Together with his son, William, he also makes cement blocks and slabs.

Coplay National Bank .- This institution was organized in 1909 with a capital of $50,000. In the same year a cement block building was erected on a lot 50x150 feet, located at Second and Hall streets. The interior of the building is modern in its equipment and contains an exceptionally large and strong vault. The deposits approximate $400,000, and the surplus and undivided profits are more than $20,000. The original officers of

Public Places .- The first public place in Cop- lay was conducted in the building at the corner

of First and Coplay streets by Abraham Hartz. Later the Eagle Hotel on the opposite corner was erected by Unis Peters and his son, Moses Wm. F. Fenstermacher has been the proprietor for the last twenty-six years. His predecessor was Thomas Danner.

The Columbia House at the corner of Second and Coplay streets, was erected by Gottlieb Meyle. In 1899 it was purchased by Charles Albert, who conducted it until 1907 when he .

sold it to John W. Scott, who is the present owner and proprietor.

The Coplay House was built in 1900 by Samuel J. Guth, who conducted it until 1909, when he sold it to John Harvelick. Upon the death of Mr. Harvelick the property was pur- chased by C. L. Lenhart, of Catasauqua. Since May 1, 1911, Samuel Wallitch is the proprie- tor.

The Coplay Cemetery Association was organ- ized June 10, 1875, when one and one-fourth acres of ground was purchased from the Coplay Iron Company. The petitioners were: David Meyer, Amos Wolf, Edwin Seifried, A. F. Krout, B. S. Levan, Edward S. Haff, and Ed- ward H. Rogers. On June 2, 1899 two and one- fourth acres were added. The board of man- agers are as follows: E. C. Simmons, President ; A. P. Bartholomew, Vice-President; Granville Rogers, Secretary; Frank Zellner, Treasurer; William Fricker, and David Diefenderfer.

CHAPTER XXVI.

BOROUGH OF COOPERSBURG.

BY HON. FRANK B. HELLER.

The territory now occupied by the borough of Coopersburg, was embraced in the tracts des- ignated on the map as Nos. 95, 97, 98, 118 and 119. The original white settlers of the section were mostly Mennonites who emigrated from Holland between the years 1730, and 1737. They were of simple tastes, but industrious, en- terprising, thrifty and devout. After clearing sufficient land to afford them sites for dwellings, necessary outbuildings and to raise crops for their sustenance their thoughts turned to the acquisition of a place for religious worship, and as early as 1738-9, they erected a building for church and school purposes on the site of the old Mennonite meeting-house, north of the borough. Among these Mennonites was George Bachman, the pioneer settler of Coopersburg. He was born in 1686, came here in 1737, built a Hotel "Der Siebenstern," about midway between the present Barron House and the shed belonging to it, about 1745. He died in 1753 and was buried at the neighboring meeting house. His tombstone, well-preserved, may yet be seen in the adjoining cemetery. His immediate descendants seem to have held sole possession of the original tract until the close of the eighteenth century, one of his sons became proprietor of the hotel, a second built a house on the south side of the present Sta- tion Avenue, and a third the house recently razed and long occupied by the late Ezekiah Gerhard. About the year 1775, Daniel Cooper, born March 31, 1752, at Dillenburg, near Am- sterdam in the duchy of Nassau, arrived in the country, first settled at Gosenhoppen, came here in 1800, purchased a tract of land from the Bachmans and erected the house, recently razed, which was long occupied by the late Dr. J. A. Laros. Soon after he purchased the hotel, to- gether with another tract. He served several terms as Justice of the Peace, died in 1822, and was buried at the old meeting house. Some of his descendants have lived here ever since. His son, Peter, who was born in 1791, lived here all his lifetime. He built the older portion of the present Barron House in 1829, the store-house, now occupied by J. D. Knerr, in 1830, and soon after a third house on the site of the present res- idence of T. S. Cooper. He was repeatedly elect-

ed Justice of the Peace, had the reputation of be- ing a remarkably reliable counsellor-at-law for a layman, was an accurate conveyancer and an ex- pert surveyor, and served for some time as Dep- uty Surveyor General of Pennsylvania. He died in 1837. He had three sons, Milton, Charles and Thomas, and one daughter, Matilda. Mil- ton left the place in his youth, and after serving an apprenticeship in a store in Philadelphia, en- gaged in the shoe business, his house having an extensive trade in nearly every state of the union, then organized. After retiring from business he returned to the place and lived here until his death in 1906. He was president of the Coop- ersburg Savings Bank during the whole period of its existence. Charles studied law, served suc- cessively as superintendent of the schools of Le- high county, cashier and president of the Al- lentown National Bank. Thomas graduated as a physician in 1842, practiced medicine here un- til 1860, when he was elected to congress, but died before the expiration of his term. Matilda became the wife of Dr. Frederick A. Martin. Tilghman S. is a son of Thomas.

Among the settlers who came here in the early part of the nineteenth century were Michael Landis, a Mennonite preacher, who in 1808, built a house on the site of the residence, late of Dr. M. H. Boye; David Rinker, who built one on the site of that now occupied by Charles Shaffer ; Jacob Bowman, who built one on the site of that now occupied by Charles Ott; Jacob Muschlitz, who built one on the site of the res- idence late of Abel Strawn; Jacob Seider, who built the one now occupied by Morris Reichen- bach, and Joseph Frey, Sr., who built a fulling- mill on the site now occupied by Stopp's Mill. The first store was opened by Solomon Keck, in 1820, in a house built alongside of the hotel. During the early part of the nineteenth century the place had come to be one of considerable im- portance; it was the junction of two stage lines from Allentown and Bethlehem to Philadelphia. It was also the first stopping place of the farmers from the upper sections of Lehigh county on their way to Philadelphia, with their produce. Thirty or forty teams in the yard during a single night was no unusual occurrence.
