On November 13, 1857, the village was in- corporated into a borough.

NAME CHANGED.

On September 6, 1875, 130 of the inhabitants of the borough petitioned the Court of Quarter Sessions of the county to change the name of Millerstown to Macungie, because there was also a town and postoffice called Millerstown in Perry county, and letters and merchandise ad- dressed thereto, without naming the county, often miscarried. On November 8, of that year, the petition was granted.

The town is situated on the northerly side of South mountain, in a valley which is unsurpassed in fertility and attractiveness by any other in many parts of the state. From many points on the mountain, within a mile of the borough, there is presented a grand panoramic view of two- thirds of Lehigh county and parts of Berks and Northampton counties-a scene which never fails to incite wonder and delight. The streets of the borough are all substantial, lined with beautiful shade trees and lighted at night by electric lights. On account of the size and substantial character of the buildings, the cleanliness and compactness of the principal part, the town far surpasses most others of an equal population.

An effort was made to secure the location of the

county seat at Millerstown when the county was erected in 1812.

STREETS.

Main street extends in a northwesterly direc- tion, with the greater portion of the town on the southerly side. The other streets running in the same direction are Buttonwood, Sycamore, Chestnut, Walnut, Poplar, Mulberry, Arch, Oak, Spruce, Cedar, Lehigh, Laurel, Willow, Maple and Lumber. The cross streets now built up are Lea, Church and Race, while there are a number of alleys laid out and wholly or partly built up.

It is a matter of regret that the main cross streets run in a diagonal direction from the main street and this formed the lots in a similar way, thus creating very crooked lines. This could have been avoided if the projector of the town and the early settlers had exchanged portions of their lots. As a result of this neglect, most of the streets fronting on Main run crooked in the rear and spoil the uniformity and appearance of them.

EAST MACUNGIE.

On the eastern border is situated the village of East Macungie (long called Centreville), with a population of about 300. John F. Unger, a civil engineer, gave the place the name Centre- ville while being engaged by Jonas Wescoe in surveying land there about the time the East Penn Railroad was projected. Great things were anticipated by the prominent citizens for the fu- ture village and efforts were made to have the station for the new railroad located there. How- ever, the village grew as slowly as the borough. So far as business and industrial interests are con- cerned, it may be regarded as a part of the bor- ough.

About the first building there was the hotel, which is a substantial stone structure, upwards of 100 years old, but which has been improved since it was erected. A general store and a coal yard and feed and grain warehouses are the only business enterprises. Robert J. Miller conducts the hotel, which is owned by Jeremiah Berger, and Wm. M. Gehman the coal and grain busi- ness. J. C. Wasser conducts the store business.

HOUSE TAX WAR, OR HOT WATER REBELLION.

When the Federal government, in 1799, laid a direct tax on houses, the amount being determin- ed by the size of the house and the number of window panes, this borough became distinguished for its opposition. Some of the objectors met in an upper room in the home of Mrs. Schaeffer, whose first husband was Jacob Miller and she

was always known later as "Grandy" Miller. She was among the women who poured boiling water on the appraisers and soldiers to keep them from levying or collecting this tax, hence the name-"Hot Water Rebellion." Millerstown was a centre of this insurrection and "Grandy" rose from child-bed to take part in it. Prominent among her colleagues was John Fries, of Lower Milford, who was afterwards tried at Easton, convicted and sentenced to be hung, but subse- quently pardoned by President John Adams.

Troops were raised in Berks and Lancaster counties to quell this insurrection and several companies marched from that section, April I, 1799, one of them having camped in Schaeffer's woods, adjoining the town on the west. Some citizens in sympathy with the government point- ed out some of the guilty ones who were taken prisoners and removed to Bethlehem. When an

attempt was made by Captain Henry Jarrett, of the Light Horse Brigade, to release the prisoners, they were transferred to Philadelphia. Fries had been the leader to rescue the prisoners. Yellow fever broke out in Philadelphia and the pris- oners wer transferred to Norristown where they

were held until a change in the government was effected and all of them were pardoned. Among the prisoners were David Schaeffer and Michael Schmoyer, both of whom died while in captivity at Norristown. They had families here and left direct descendants. [For a fuller description see Chapter IX on Fries' Rebellion. ]

CHURCHES.

Macungie is supplied with five congrega- tions, each owning its house of worship. They were organized in the order noted.

SOLOMON'S REFORMED .- Solomon's Church was built in 1841, on the western side of Church street, on an acre of ground donated by Solomon Wescoe, who was one of the fathers of the church and after whom it was named. It grew out of a

1850-'52; Rev. Daniel Zellers, 1853-'57; Rev. A. J. G. Dubbs, D.D., 1857-'76; Rev. T. N. Reber, 1882-'92; Rev. C. E. Schaeffer, 1892-'97; Rev. Thomas W. Dickert, 1897-'03 ; Rev. Simon Sipple, 1903-'08; Rev. J. J. Schaeffer, 1908-'12; Rev. E. W. Kriebel since 1913.

The congregation purchased a lot on the north side of the church and erected a handsome par- sonage thereon during the service of Rev. Dick- ert.

For twenty years past the congregation has published a monthly journal in its own interests, entitled The Pastor's Helper. It is devoted to congregation news and matters.

The Lutheran pastors were these: Rev. Ben- jamin German, 1841-'48; Rev. William Ger- man, 1848-'51 ; Rev. Jeremiah Schindel, 1851- '56; Rev. Joshua Yeager, 1856. '67; Rev. Alfred

movement started in 1840 among former mem- bers of the Lehigh, Trexlertown, Long Swamp, Salisbury and Chestnut Hill Churches, residing in or near Millerstown. A union church by the Lutherans and Reformed was built. A new burial ground was opened in 1869. The church building was modernized in 1870.

In 1893 the Lutherans sold their right, title and interest in the property to the Reformed wing for $1,000 and proceeded to erect Grace Lutheran Church. The Reformed congregation made marked improvements to the old building and in 1900 beautified it by frescoing. Steam heating was later introduced and in 1911 elec- tric lights were put in. The following served as Reformed pastors: Rev. Samuel Hess, 1843-'45; Rev. Henry Bassler, 1845-'48; Rev. John S. Kepler, D.D., 1848-'50; Rev. J. B. Perner,

Croll, 1867-'68; Rev. Wm. Rath, 1868 -; Rev. Myron O. Rath, to 1900. Rev. W. M. Kopen- haver has been pastor since.

The churchyard has been used for burial pur- poses by both congregations. In 1869 an acre of land was purchased from Eli Lichtenwalner and cut up into burial lots. After the congrega- tions separated, they, however, agreed to use the cemetery in common, and it is therefore, a union burial ground.

GRACE LUTHERAN. - The milling firm of Fritch Bros. & Bogh donated a lot of ground fronting on Main street and the Lutherans erected thereon a handsome church property. The main edifice is built of Seisholtzville granite and is com- fortably furnished. In the rear is a brick chapel used for Sunday-school and church society pur-

poses. Dr. D. D. Fritch has been superintendent of the Sunday-school from its organization.

The late George Mayer donated the deep and fine-toned bell of the church.

While on a trip to the Orient in 1896, Rev. M. O. Rath and the late G. F. Egner purchased a slab of stone in Palestine and had it shipped

Pennsylvania Classis of the General Synod. This caused a great deal of dissatisfaction among the former church members and he was locked out of Solomon's Church. His adherents broke open the church and took possession. A tedious law suit followed, Rev. Croll maintaining that the time for which he was appointed had not expired.

here. From it was cut the corner-stone of Grace Church as well as a tablet on which is inscribed a memorandum thereof and many small pieces used as souvenirs.

ST. MATTHEW'S EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN .- This congregation was formed in 1868. It was mainly an outcropping of the Lutherans of Solo- mon's Church. Rev. Alfred D. Croll was pastor of the latter congregation until the above-named year, when he left the Ministerium of Pennsyl- vania of the General Council and joined the East

The court decided in his favor. Then about a hundred of his adherents proceeded to secure a church of their own. A lot of ground on East Main street was donated by James Singmaster and in 1869 the present brick structure was erect- ed at a cost of $6,500, all of which was raised by subscription. The building committee consisted of James Singmaster, John Mattern and Samuel Moyer. Rev. Croll served as pastor for four years, until his death, June 19, 1876. He was succeeded in order by the following :

Rev. W. I. Cutter, 1876-'78; Rev. E. Daron, 1878-'80; Rev. D. E. Read, 1880-'81 ; Rev. W. H. Lewars, 1881-'82; Rev. J. A. Singmaster, D.D., 1882-'85; Rev. G. W. Fritch, 1885-'91; Rev. G. J.

Jacob Peter, 1903-'05 ; Rev. J. M. Dietzler, 1906-'07; Rev. A. B. Miller, 1908-'10; since 1910 Rev. B. S. Dise.

The congregation maintains a Sunday-school, of which the present superintendent is Wm. S. Weaver, a Christian Endeavor Society and a Missionary Society.

BAPTIST CHURCH .- In consequence of some differences among members of Solomon's Lutheran and Reformed Church, about eighteen of them left and established the German Baptist Church in 1852. Prayer- meetings were held in private houses until the following year when a quarter of an acre of ground was bought from Manasses Bear, of Up- per Milford township for $20. This is situated a square south of Solomon's Church, on the same side of Church street. John Backenstoe and Joseph Wieand were the trustees of the new con- gregation and they erected a two-story brick house of worship. Wm. Desch was elected elder and preacher and Henry Desch and William Mohr deacons. The rite of feet-washing and baptism by total immersion are practiced by this congregation. English services are now also con- ducted.

The following were pastors in order of service : Rev. Wm. Desch, Rev. Henry Desch, Rev. Wm. H. Larose, Rev. John H. Pangratz, Rev. J. F. Niebuhr and Rev. J. M. Fahl, the present in- cumbent.

MENNONITE BRETHREN IN CHRIST .- This is the youngest existing church in the town and was organized in 1902. A neat frame edifice was erected during that and the following year on a lot of ground on Walnut street. Regular serv- ices have been held there since. The congrega- tion is small in membership but maintains a flourishing Sunday-school.

The pastors have been Revs. J. G. Shireman, W. J. Fretz, E. T. Schick, H. K. Kratz and the present one is Rev. E. E. Kublic.

DEFUNCT CHURCHES. THE LEA STREET BAPTIST CHURCH was erected in 1873 by a fac- tion of the German Baptist Church led by Aaron Erdman, who favored connection with the Con- ference of the German Church of America and

the dropping of the rite of feet-washing. The pastors were Revs. Longer, Henry Desch and Lewy. The attendance and support diminished until the church was abandoned about twenty- five years ago. The two-story frame building was later used in turn as a cigar-factory, ware- house, silk mill and in 1912 was bought from the C. O. Shimer estate by Friendly Lodge of Odd Fellows and converted into a model meeting place.

THE FREE METHODIST CHURCH was an or- ganization that flourished here about half a cen- tury ago. Meetings were held in the "Free Hall" on the south side of Main street. This was a frame structure erected upon a lot owned by George Miller and was intended to supply a long-felt want as a meeting place for various pur- poses. It was not a successful venture for the building was later sold to Mr. Miller by the sheriff. When the Evangelical Association was formed the building was offered to members by Mr. Miller, who was one of the original number. He later donated the property to the Association. The congregation was never strong but many spirited revival meetings were held there. Among the ministers who officiated there were Revs. Adams, Hess, Fehr, Warman, Ziegenfuss, Sey- frit, Wieand, Smoyer, Kembel, Lichtenwallner, Dissinger, Ely, Seagrist, Wenner, Baker, Butz, Warfel and Romig.

SCHOOLS.

Before a free school school was opened here in 1840, various buildings were used as school- houses. One was a log house on the site of the Desch store, another was a frame building on the lot of the late Peter J. Weiler and still another was the stone part of J. W. Gerhard's carriage works. The first regular school building was a stone structure in the former School alley, now Depot alley. This had a belfry and bell. Some of those who taught here were Messrs. Howell, Crout, Gibbons, Nash, Harrison Miller, Samuel Lorash, Wagner, Shade, W. J. Hoxworth, Fair, Joseph Nicholson (who first taught English in the district), Charles Shoemaker, James Christ- man, Miss Ruther, Annie R. Rems, Emily R. Hoyt and Henry Neumeyer.

MACUNGIE INSTITUTE .- Realizing the insuf- ficiency of the existing schools, a number of citi- zens of the town and vicinity organized the Ma- cungie Institute with a capital of $1,300. A half acre of ground at the eastern end of Main street was purchased from Joseph Wescoe for $50 and a two-story brick building was erected thereon at a cost of $1,800. After being supplied with

In and six classes have graduated therefrom. three months the number had increased to thirty- five. In 1857 the scholars numbered eighty-five. TURNPIKE ROAD. Oliver Fell was the principal with Miss Mary A. McGee as his assistant, and Dr. S. R. Ritten- In 1858 the Millerstown and Shimerville turn- pike was opened. It was constructed by Patrick Rehill who was a contractor in charge of work at the East Penn Railroad being built at the same time. The road previously had always been a poor one, although it was the King's Highway. The stretch of road improved is about two and a half miles and its southern end connects with the Berks and Lehigh turnpike. A toll gate was established at Guth's, about midway between Shimerville and Macungie. As toll roads became unpopular within recent years, the stretch named was abandoned in 1911. By court proceedings, the county purchased the road and it then became a public thoroughfare. house as lecturer on hygiene. . The common branches of an English education were taught, besides physical geography, natural philosophy and mensuration. A literary society was conduct- ed by the teacher and scholars for mutual im- provement. The enterprise was a factor for much good in the community but existed some- what ahead of the time. The normal schools then sprung up and its influence was soon exhausted. The income of the school was not sufficient to meet the current expenses in 1860 and a debt of $700 had been contracted. The building was then rented to the public school board for three months and in 1862 the property was sold to the town school district for a figure barely covering TROLLEY ROAD. the indebtedness. There was made an addition of equal size as the original building in later years and other improvements were made, including the addition of steam-heat. There are at present four departments, although only three schools and teachers.

The following have been teachers of the Ma- cungie public schools in the several departments :

James Van Buskirk, Viola J. Hartshorn, A. H. Berlin, Charles Schwenk, M. J. Kramlich, Eugene Bieber, T. F. Emmens, Frank W. Sieg- fried, James S. Biery, William Muhlenberg, Samuel C. Lee, George Heffner, R. S. Hittle, S. W. Witman, R. J. De Long, Hoyt Wightman, Annie R. Rems, Oliver Neumeyer, Hannah Thomas, Alice Newhard, Emma Shoemaker, Liz- zie Edmunds, Ida Baughman, John Rems, Alvin Rupp, Fannie M. Ihrie, Clara Eberhard, Clara Kunstman, Annie Kernahen, Sallie Sames, H. O. Beisel, Sallie Hoxworth, Laura Weinberger, O. J. Knauss, W. K. Desch, Frederika H. Dase, Tillie Mann, Jennie Donnelly, Annie Griffin, Mary C. Rems, Charles H. Horton, W. H. Nicholas, Mary S. Hale, Lizzie E. Shimer, George A. Weber, Ella R. Erdman, E. J. Heil- man, H. O. Shiffert, W. N. Decker, Mary Downs, Geo. C. Bollinger, M. H. N. Ritter, H. W. Shimer, Jacob Erdman, B. F. Cressman, A. J. Heller, J. W. Taylor, J. M. Uhler, L. C. Mullen, D. Elizabeth Reinecker, Ira W. Schuck, en, John L. Cuttshall, O. A. Fulmer, Minnie E. Mock. The present teachers are Principal Wm. Blanche Macbeth, Wm. Kintner, Francis Steph- H. Krill, Olga M. Hendryx, secondary, and Miss Annie Griffin, primary. The latter has thus far taught very successfully for twenty-five years in succession in the borough's schools. A

On September 2, 1899, the electric railway was opened to Macungie, by way of Emaus. This point is the terminus of the line, but it is expect- ed that it will eventually be extended to Reading, touching the principal villages between. At first there was a forty-minute service but later the time was extended to one hour intervals between cars and cars run until midnight. The road runs in the middle of Main street, entering it at Wal- nut where it occupies the road to Emaus through East Macungie and from there runs along and across fields to Emaus.

WATER SYSTEM.

In 1895 an excellent water system was es- tablished. The borough purchased about twenty acres of woodland, half way up the mountain side, where springs of the purest water abound. A spacious reservoir was built, the water from the springs led therein through covered pipes and the stored water through other pipes into the town, about a mile from the springs and reser- voir. The reservoir has an elevation of 220 feet from the central part of the town and this creates a pressure of 90 pounds to the square inch. The reservoir is covered with a good roof over a well ventilated building and all springs are covered. Water is carried by powerful pressure to all parts of the town.

TOWN HALL.

In 1906 a handsome brick building was erected at the northwest corner of Church and Locust streets, for municipal purposes. It is fitted out with quarters for the Fire Company, the Town

Council and the School Board. It is also the election polling place. In the basement are two iron cages or cells for the incarceration of unruly persons. . The building is supplied with steam heat and electric lights. First floor houses the fire apparatus, consisting of a combination chemi- cal and hook and ladder wagon, for two-horse attachment; a hose cart, hose and equipment for the firemen. The second story is divided into two spacious rooms by folding doors. The front is used by the Fire Company and contains a pool table, etc., while the rear part is for the other bodies. In the tower in front is a fire alarm bell.

and vicinity. At present the current is received from the parent company at Allentown. Charles H. Neumoyer is president; H. L. Hertzog, secre- tary, and L. S. Shimer, treasurer. These officers and the following are the present directors: A. B. Neumoyer, John F. Wieder.

MILLERSTOWN BAND.

Few, if any, of the old institutions of the town are better remembered and with keener regard than the Millerstown Band and a short record of it should have a place in this history. It was or-

SINGMASTER HOMESTEAD.

FIRE COMPANY.

Macungie Fire Company, No. I, was incorpo- rated in March 4, 1907, with these charter mem- bers: John L. Reinhard, Charles H. Neumoyer, H. L. Hertzog, John F. Wieder, Harry Hosfeld, J. W. Singmaster, John D. Rems, O. J. Knauss, Luther W. Fritch, J. H. Beidler, H. W. Schantz, Wm. B. Rohrbach, Charles Muth, Jr., and H. M. Desch.

The company has now about 150 members and is a flourishing organization. On a number of occasions it has shown its efficiency at fires.

ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY.

The Macungie Electric Light, Heat and Power Company was organized in 1908, and furnishes light and power to people in the town

ganized in 1855. The original members were Peter J. Weiler, Henry G. Hangen, Dr. Peter S. Leisenring, Thomas W. Christman, Monroe H. Miller, J. Peter Haas, James Singmaster, Alexander Weaver, Henry Neumeyer, Chas. H. Schwenk, Edwin Singmaster, Harrison Miller, William H. Miller and Frederick Schulze. Teachers in order were Frederick T. Iobst, of Emaus; John Hook, of Reading; Frederick Benkhard, of Allentown, and George Douglass, a leading member of Beck's famous band of Phil- adelphia.

After the band had practiced well it became quite proficient in a few years. It left for the war in November, 1861, and was mustered in at Harrisburg as the Fifty-fourth Regiment Band, Pennsylvania Volunteers. About a month was spent in Camp Curtin at Harrisburg. It was

then transferred to Washington, afterwards to a small place on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and last to Sir John's Run, along the Potomac river, in Berkeley county, Virginia. There it was discharged from duty and the men returned to their homes. The original list of members had been changed considerably and the following were among those who served in the band during its engagement in the war :

Peter J. Weiler, Edward Diehl, John Bauer, William A. Rems, Monroe H. Miller, Henry Creitz, John Haines, Christian Dankel, Samuel Oswald, Alexander Weaver, Samuel Creitz, Franklin Christman, John Hamburg, William Miller, Alfred Miller, Franklin Mertz. Edwin Lorish was employed as cook and was mustered in as a bandman though he was no musician.

Peter J. Weiler, the leader of the band dur- ing its war service and for many years afterwards, was an accomplished musician. He also taught other bands and was a careful instructor. Much of the success of the organization was due to his ability and watchfulness. He died in 1906. Only a few of the original members are now still liv- ing.

The band had earned an excellent reputation for its renderings and filled many engagements. It was at the height of its proficiency about thirty years ago, and then gradually disbanded, owing to the leaving of members for other places and bands. It was later succeeded by the Macungie Band (when the town's name was changed), and the Keystone Band, under which name it had been incorporated. In its time the old band con- tained excellent musicians and rendered some of the best selections of music.

BENEVOLENT SOCIETIES.

FRIENDLY LODGE, No. 85, I. O. O. F., was chartered July 19, 1843, by these members: Ben- jamin Rupp, N. G .; P. G. Breyfogel, V.
