HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

The place rose to the dignity of a country vil- lage in 1818; a postoffice was established April I, of that year, and David Roth appointed post- master. The village and postoffice were named Fryburg, after Joseph Fry Jr., who was then proprietor of the hotel and also of a distillery which stood on the site now occupied by Beid- ler's machine shop, and who also built the first store-house alongside of the hotel in 1820. Sub- sequently he was successively elected to the state legislature, to the Constitutional Convention of 1837-8, and to Congress. He was considered quite a statesman, and during his congressional term, was visited here by James Buchanan, aft- erwards President of the United States.

On June 25, 1832, the name of the village and postoffice was changed to Coopersburg after Peter Cooper, heretofore referred to. The North Pennsylvania railroad, now under lease to the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company, was completed, opened for traffic, and a station established here in 1856, the first passenger train passing through the place on the 26th of Decem- ber, of that year. The Allentown and Coopers- burg Turnpike road opened in 1875, and dis- continued as such in 1909, passed through the place. The Allentown and Coopersburg Street Railway Company opened an electric railway line from Allentown to the borough in 1902. This, under various names and auspices was soon after extended to Philadelphia and is now known as the "Liberty Bell Route."

In 1878, John S. Stephens, George Blank, George W. Haeney, Dr. H. T. Trumbauer, Samuel Y. Kern, Jacob Anstett, Frank K. Har- ing, Israel R. Parker, Milton Cooper, Peter Brunner, Sylvester Clewell, Henry Barndt, Wil- liam H. Baim, John Fluck, David Barron, Thomas E. Cooper, C. Elamina Cooper, Aman- da M. Cooper, Jacob Schaffer, Dr. J. A. Laros, T. S. Cooper, William H. Brader, Dr. M. H. Boye, Peter Eckert, William Jordan, Thomas Weaver, Samuel Furry, Genaah Jordan, Samuel K. Eichelberger, William T. Trumbauer, James T. Blank, Amos Haring and Daniel Schaffer, pe- titioned the court for a charter of incorporation as a borough. The movement met with consid- erable opposition, but the petitioners finally tri- umphed and the charter was granted Dec. 2, 1879. The first election for borough offices was held Feb. 17, 1880, and resulted in the election of the following officers: Burgess, John S. Steph- ens; Town Council-Milton Cooper, Frank K. Haring, Dr. J. A. Laros, Samuel Y. Kern, Dan- iel Schaffer, and Joel Ritter; Justice of the Peace, George Blank and T. S. Cooper; School Directors-Dr. H. T. Trumbauer, Henry K. Landis, Charles Ott, Genaah Jordan, Jacob

Schaffer and Abraham Geissinger; Constable- Thomas Stephens; Judge of Election-William H. Baim; Inspectors-Allen H. Ott and Jere- miah Landis; Assessor-Aaron H. Hackman; Auditor-Charles Haring.

The ancient village had now assumed a new status, and the fact seemed to inspire its citizens with redoubled energy and augmented public spirit. Institutions and enterprises sprung up as if by magic. Two churches were erected in close succession. The first by the Moravian denomi- nation. The congregation worshipping here was organized Oct. 25, 1883. The cornerstone of the church was laid twelve months later, the ded- ication took place June 21, 1884. The church plant now consists of a four-room church and Sunday-school building, and a modern parson- age. The pastors who served here were: Rev. L. P. Clewell, 1883-1887; Rev. Jessie Blicken- derfer, 1887-1888; Rev. C. B. Shultz, 1888- 1890; Rev. J. S. Romig, 1890-1893 ; Rev. C. E. Romig, assistant pastor, June, 1892-March, 1893, pastor from then to 1894, Rev. J. Erick- sen, Nov. 1894-Sept. 1896, Rev. D. Hayes Keech, Oct. 1806-Nov. 1897; Rev. S. C. Al- bright, M. A., Dec. 1907-June, 1911 ; Rev. Ed- mund D. S. Bruner, M. A., July, 1911. The congregation publish a monthly magazine, "The Coopersburg Moravian News." The sec- ond church erected in the borough was built in 1888, incorporated in 1891. It consists of a brick church building with two annexes for Sun- day-school purposes, is furnished with a pipe or- gan, with water-motor bellows, piano and reed- organ, electric lights, steeple and bell. It is a Union Church of the Lutheran and Reformed denominations. Rev. E. A. Yehl was the first pastor of the Lutheran congregation, resigned in 1893, and was succeeded by Rev. W. W. Kis- tler, the present incumbent. Membership, 160. Rev. J. G. Dubbs was the first pastor of the Re- formed congregation, resigned in 1912, and was succeeded by Rev. Thomas M. Kressley, the present incumbent membership, 115. Sunday- school membership, both denominations, 403. A new school-house of respectable dimensions, though with a single room, was erected immed- iately after the organization of the borough, but this was soon found inadequate to supply the educational facilities desired and was therefore supplanted by a modern structure designed and equipped to meet all demands likely to arise in the near future.

Next in the line of public improvements came the erection of water-works in 1903 followed by the organization of a Fire Company the same year.

LINDEN GROVE STOCK FARM.

This enterprise was set on foot in 1874, by T. S. Cooper now well known in many sections, and the world over, as "The Jersey Cattle King." The firm now embraces, besides the founder, his two sons, Ralph and Peter, under the firm name of T. S. Cooper and Sons. The business of the firm consists in the breeding, rearing, importing and selling of high class Jer- sey cattle. The equipments of the firm, besides a thorough knowledge of the business, a perfect understanding of the points which count in the make-up of a perfect milk, butter, and progeny producing Jersey and a reputation for integrity and fair-dealing, consist of a plantation of about 300 acres, located along both sides of Main street and extending along the South side of Station Avenue to the railroad. The farming op- erations here are conducted upon the highest, most modern, approved and result-producing principles. It is studded with fine residences, an elegant office building, capacious and well-ap- pointed barns, modern and sanitary stables, a commodious sales pavillion, and all other appli- ances, and equipments necessary to the success- ful prosecution of the business. One or two members of the firm proceed annually to the Is -- land of Jersey, in the English Channel, and per- sonally select and purchase the best in the cattle line which the island affords. After the voyage to this country, the cattle are quarantined at the United States quarantine station the required time, are then brought to Linden Grove, and pass under the care, supervision and nurture of the firm. The herd at this season usually con- sists of about 300 head.

If all the records, books, catalogs and corres- pondence of thirty-eight years of Jersey dealing at Linden Grove could be compiled they would constitute volumes of Jersey literature, which could not help affording others of less experience many valuable suggestions in the selection, mat- ing, rearing and general handling of Jersey cat- tle. Numbers of Jerseys that have become dis- tinguished, have been bred and handled here. Among these are the famous bull that won Sweepstakes at the World's Fair at Chicago, in 1893, the bull that won Grand Championship at the National Dairy Show in Chicago in 1911, the bull that brought the highest price at auction ever secured by a breeder for a product of his own herd, the bull that brought the record price ($15,000.00) of any bull sold at any auction, and the cow that distinguished herself similarly by bringing the record price of $7,000.

The annual Decoration day auction sales at Linden Grove receive world-wide attention.

BOROUGH OF COOPERSBURG.

Knowing that the stock offered is the best that can be secured and that the bidders represent all sections of the country, the Associated Press spreads the news of the sales, the names of the buyers, the description of the animals and the prices realized for them the civilized world over. Prices at these sales have ranged from one hun- dred to five hundred dollars for calves, from three hundred to seven thousand dollars for cows and from five hundred to fifteen thousand dollars for bulls. The aggregate sum realized for 1,613 head of cattle sold at these auctions during the last thirteen years was $831, 180.00, or an average of $515.30 per head.

the fine animals offered, others to learn the lessons and gain the information afforded, others to imbibe the excitements produced by the lively bidding and to join in the applause fol- lowing a record sale, while still others are intent upon the very legitimate purpose of engaging in the battle of the dollars for the possession of the prizes offered in the sales ring. It is a business day for the breeder and stockman the country over, an educational day for the amateur or ad- mirer of fine cattle, especially Jerseys and a hol- iday for many within a radius of fifty miles. Truly T. S. Cooper has distinguished himself. He has achieved an enviable reputation as a

The scene at these sales is an animated one. Fashionably dressed ladies, austere millionaires. dignified preachers, wise statesmen, sagacious politicians, astute lawyers, skilled doctors, pre- dent bankers, shrewd business men, deft arti- sans, intelligent farmers and others of like quar- ities with their genteelly dressed wives, daugh- ters and sweethearts are there, together with all their imitators and opposites down to the simp- lest lout, all, to the number of four or five thou- sand, mixed in one heterogeneous mass, rubbing elbows and jostling each other in good-natured animation, some intent upon meeting their friends and having a good time, others to inspect

HOME OF DR. MARTIN H. BOYE, THE SCIENTIST.

On April 29, 1729, Springet Penn conveyed his title of a large tract of land to his brother, William (both grandsons of William Penn), who soon after conveyed his title to all unto Wil- liam Allen, to whom a warrant under date of March 5, 1730, was issued. Allen soon after sold the greater part of a 300-acre tract to John Reeser. The latter sold a part of this tract now located in the borough of Coopersburg to Rev. Michael Landis, an early minister of the Men- nonite Church, who erected a stone house upon his tract in 1789. This house stood until 1871, when it was razed by Dr. Martin H. Boye and upon its site he built the present residence. The smaller portion of the house as seen in the ac-

companying illustration was built by Daniel, a son of Michael Landis, in 1812. The stone spring-house standing under the beautiful pine- tree, to the left of the main dwelling, was built by Daniel Landis n 1807. A barn still standing was built in 1828, but this will shortly be razed. There remains intact one of the original corner stones of the Penn grant to his two grandsons. The location of this stone is frequently referred to in conversation with the present owners and occupants of this long settled property. The original tract, as Rev. Michael Landis bought it was about 30 acres. Tradition informs us that he selected it because there are four never failing springs of excellent water upon it.

About the year 1860 Dr. Boyè became the owner and occupant of this old homestead, which had been in the Landis family nearly one hun- dred years. The celebrated scientist, Dr. Boyè, continued to reside upon it until his death in 1909 at the advanced age of 97 years. From time to time improvements were made to his residence until now it contains vacuum steam heat, electric lights, hot and cold water, bath and all the conveniences that add to the comforts and well being of the populace of the twentieth century. The present owners and occupants of these premises are Mr. and Mrs. E. Oppen- lander.

CHAPTER XXVII.

BOROUGH OF EMAUS.

The borough of Emaus is situated at the foot of the South Mountain, in the beautiful Lehigh Valley, near the junction of the East Penn and Perkiomen railways. It was founded as a con- gregational village (Gemein-Ort) May 5, 1758, and was laid out by a survey in December of the same year. Though the village was founded as a Moravian Cure Animarum, as its settlement antedates the advent of the Moravians to Penn- sylvania. Among those who settled in the vi- cinity of Emaus prior to 1740 are, Rudolf An- dreas, John Shoemaker, Conrad Wetzel, George Hoffman, Henry Roth, John Henry Knauss, Sebastian Knauss, Frederick Rauschenberger, Ja- cob Ehrenhard. The first white child born in the vicinity of Emaus was Ludwig Andreas, son of Rudolf Andreas and his wife, Anna Cathar- ine, nee Braum, who emigrated from Boehm, near Manheim, to Pennsylvania in 1730. He was born September 29, 1734, and was of the Reformed faith. His sister, Barbara, married Jacob Ehrenhard, one of the Fathers of Emaus. Practically all the early settlers of the Macungie region, with the exception of a few Mennonites, were either members of the Reformed or Lu- theran denominations. There were, however, at this time, only a few ministers of these denomina- tions in the colony. In a letter dated October 18, 1734, Rev. John Philip Boehm, the organizer of the Reformed Church in Pennsylvania, ap- peals to the Reformed Synod of Holland in be- half of the poor sheep at the end of the wilder- ness in the regions of Saucon, Macungie, Maxa- tawny, and Great Swamp, who thirst for the hearing of God's word as dry land for water. Between the years of 1736-1739 Hendrich Goet- schy, the boy preacher of colonial times, visited the Macungie region, conducted services in houses, barns and groves and baptized children. Among his preaching places he mentions the fol- lowing: Skippack, Old Goshenhoppen, New Goshenhoppen, Swamp, Saucon, Macungie, Egypt, Maxatawny, Oley, Berne and Tulpe- hocken.

In 1741 the Salisbury Union Church was erected. In December of the same year, Count Ludwig Zinsendorf arrived in the colony and soon made the acquaintance of the pious re- formed elder, Henry Antes, and the latter ex-

plained to him his plan fur die union of the German churches in the colony. Elder Antes was grieved when he saw how hopelessly the few pious souls of the colony were divided and what little influence they had on account of it. It is said that the count hesitated for some time, but finally gave his approval. Antes therefore issued his "Call for a meeting of Christians, to be held on New Year's Day, 1742, in German- town. It was to be held not for the purpose of disputing with one another, but to confer in love on the important articles of faith in order to see how near all could come together in foundamental points." It was at this meeting that led to the organization of God in the Spirit. Seven conferences were held between January I and June 3, 1742. At this last meeting the re- ligious state of nine denominations was discussed, viz: the Friends, Moravians, Lutherans, Re- formed, Mennonites, Schwenkfelders, Tunkers, Conestoga, Siebentager, and Separatists, with the unanimous result of the General Synod of Penn- sylvania. Henry Antes was commissioned to prepare, in the name of the Synod, a circular to the whole country, in which all the children of God should be invited to join the Church of God in the Spirit. In this circular occurs the following passage, which will easily be recognized as Zinzendorf's own resume of these seven Syn- ods: "All of us, taken together, constitute the body of Jesus in Pennsylvania, which was recog- nized as such in the first conference of all de- nominations; acknowledged anew in the second Synod; sealed in the third; opened in the fourth ; demonstrated in the fifth and sixth; and in the seventh and last general conference of denomina- tions cheered by the presence of a visible Church of Jesus. We intend to continue holding this Church-council every quarter of a year, with all quietness, according to the wisdom which the Lord will grant. Our members will assist; for as regards externals all are called and spiritually all are known. Whoever belongs to the Lord, let him come to us!"

"These are the words of the Church of the Lord to all her members, whether hidden or known, yea, to all whom the Lord or God will yet call. Have Thou mercy on Zion!"

While Zinzendorf was on an expedition

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

among the Indians, Antes issued a circular letter dated September 15, 1742, in which he announces Zinzendorf's willingness upon his return to visit and preach in communities that desire to hear him. At the request of Sebastian Knauss, who had learned the wheelwright trade with Antes, at which time his soul was spiritually blessed ; the count came to the vicinity of Emaus, and preached December 2, 1742, in Jacob Ehren- bardt's house. His text was Matthew 7: 14. The settlers were well pleased and expressed the desire to hear him more frequently. Sebas- tian Knaus, Jacob Ehrenhardt and John Adam Schaus went to Bethlehem and requested that some one should break to them the Word regu- larly. Hitherto the only spiritual oversight the settlers had received was a few visits by Rev. J. P. Boehm, an occasional sermon by Goetschy, and the half-hearted services of J. William Straub, an unordained schoolmaster, who lived in Bucks County, and in connection with several congregations there also served the Salisbury congregation. On the 29th December, 1742, Conrad Wetzel, Eberhard Kopp, Sebastian Knaus, Jacob Ehrenhard, and Frantz Blum were received into the congregation at Bethle- hem. These became the nucleus of the Emaus Congregation.
