For twenty-five years, services were held in the building, but the timbers showing signs of weak- ness and decay, the congregation determined to erect a new building, and accordingly the old church was razed, and the corner stone was laid in 1874. The structure, as it appears now (of which the accompanying illustration shows a cor- rect likeness ), was finished in 1876, and dedicated on Sept. 29th, with Rev. Dr. Wm. Ormisston, of New York, preaching the sermon on that oc- casion. The cost of the building was $7,000. The building committee was Robert McDowell, D. D. Roper, D. D. Jones, Jesse Labar and Samuel Caskie.

The membership in 1884 numbered 70. In 1910 the church was remodeled and much im- proved. In 1913, the membership was 175. The following pastors served the congregation :

T. M. Adams, 1855-57. A. G. Harned, 1857-66. John F. Scott, 1886-88. Percy Y. Schelly, 1889-96.

A Sunday school was conducted with the church since 1854. It was started by Mr. McDowell with only six members, and till 1866 the mem- bership had increased to 273. In 1913, it was 200.

In the school room two interesting slate tab- lets are attached to the wall at the rear of the superintendent's desk, in remembrance of the

long continued services and devotion of two faith- ful members of the church and school: Robert McDowell, elder from 1851 and superintendent from 1855 to the time of his decease in 1878; and David McKenna, elder from 1878 and su- perintendent from 1879 to the time of his decease in 1908.

A small burying ground is situated on the rear of the lot but no interments have been made on it for many years. Only six graves are marked with stones, but the inscriptions are not legible.

Baptist Church .-- A number of the Welsh in- habitants of Slatington and vicinity, who were at- tached to the Baptist Church, formed an associ- ation and began to hold religious meetings in Sep-

tember, 1861, at Williamstown, a settlement west of the town in a frame building erected by Henry Williams at a cost of $800. The active members at that time were Mr. Williams and wife, John Roberts and wife, Ellis Owen and wife, and Mrs. Catharine P. Williams. The services were continued at Williamstown every Sunday until 1891, when they were started at Slatington with sixteen members in the Fritzinger hall, but in several months the hall was destroy- ed by fire, including considerable furniture of the church; then the hopeful and determined members erected a church for themselves at the west end of Church street, costing $5,000, where the congregation continued for nine years. With increased membership, they were encouraged to establish a larger church, and securing a lot on the southwest corner of 2nd and Main streets, they erected a most attractive edifice at a cost of $21,000, of which three prominent members, Ellis Owens, Joseph Richards and Robert G. Pierce contributed each $5,000, and this was dedicated with appropriate services in June, 1900. The membership at that time was 105; which has

been increased to 125.

The officiating pastors have been :

Allen J. Morton, 1864-79.

Charles Jones, 1891-92. Henry Evans, 1893-94.

D. E. Richards, 1895- 1906.

Gomez Evans, 1908-10. Moses S. Young, 1912- .

A Sunday school has been conducted in a suc- cessful manner from the inception of the church. The superior singing of the school and congrega- tion is a distinguishing feature of the services.

Welsh Churches. - Several Welshmen, of Slatington (John Davies, William Griffith, and William Evans), organized a congregation in the year 1847, and religious meetings were held in a slate building for four years, Davies and Griffith having officiated as elders.

The Synod of the Welsh Calvanistic Metho- dist Church of Pennsylvania convened at Slating- ton from the IIth to the 13th of April, 1851, and it was then that their first church came to be dedicated. It was built of stone, one-story high, and stood on the southwest corner of Church and 4th streets. In 1858 difficulties arose in the congregation which led to a separation and the establishment of two bodies, which called them- selves respectively, Welsh Presbyterian or Cal- vinistic Methodist, and Welsh Congregational- ist.

The former remained in the building of 1851, but finding it too small, they erected, in 1859, a new and substantial stone church in its place, one story, 28 by 34 feet, with a capacity of 200, which was appropriately dedicated Jan. 1, 1860. They carried on worship until it was burned down March 30, 1863. A two-story brick building was put up a short distance west of the corner, and this was dedicated Jan. 30-31, 1864. It was occupied by the congregation until 1882, then the increased membership required a larger build- ing, and they erected a superior and attractive brick structure on Fourth street, a short distance south of Church, and here they have continued until the present time. The building was en- larged in 1897.

A prosperous Sunday school was carried on from the beginning, in connection with the church. The membership of both bodies is about 200.

The pastors have been :

John G. Jones, 1851- R. E. Williams, 1890-

Thomas H. Roberts, John W. Morris, 1893-

1853-54. 99.

The Welsh Congregationalists, the other body, withdrew and erected a church on the same street,

farther west, in the hollow, and carried on their religious devotions there until 1883, when they erected another but far superior building on a lot of ground, 60 by 100 feet on the northwest cor- ner of 4th and Franklin street, an attractive, large frame edifice, 30 by 60 feet, which they painted white, and there they have continued regular services until the present time, keeping up the premises in a fine condition. The mem- bership is IIO. A Sunday school has also been supported and its membership is 125.

The pastors have all come directly from Wales, whose names have been:

William Jones. Wm. Davies (N.

W. Tudwel Williams. Wales).

Wm. Davies (S. Wales).

Isaac Trevor Williams. James Williams.

Methodist Episcopal .- Members of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church at Slatington, organized a congregation in 1869 and determined to estab- lish a church. In this behalf the following build- ing committee was appointed : Rev. J. W. Knapp, James Anthony, James Thomas, David Evans, Harrison Evans, George S. Coffin and Wm. H. Gish. A lot of ground was secured on Centre street ; the corner-stone was laid Sept. 12, 1869; and the one-story frame structure was dedicated Dec. 19, 1869. And here services have been con- ducted until the present time. The church was remodeled in 1909.

Evangelical Churches .- The Evangelical As- sociation established an organization at Slating- ton in 1862 by first holding meetings in private homes and afterward in the hall of Lewis Hen- ritzy in the lower section of Slatington until 1870, when a one-story frame building was erected on the northeast corner of Second and Washington streets, the corner-stone having been laid June 19. Members of this denomina- tion living at Slatedale and that vicinity co-oper- ated with the members at Slatington in establish- ing this edifice. Their efforts were successful in increasing the membership and by 1884 it num- bered 264. It was dedicated as St. Paul's Evan- gelical Church and the organization has been continued until the present time.

When this denomination divided after 1890 a second church was established in 1895 at the corner of Second street and Center alley, an at- tractive two-story brick edifice which was named Trinity United Evangelical Church. [See Church History of the County.]

Christ Episcopal .- The first steps towards the establishment of the Episcopal Church at Slat- ington wase taken in 1898 when religious serv- ices in this behalf were conducted by Rev. Wm. H. Heigham, of Catasauqua in the Seibert building. Irregular meetings were held there

for over a year; then on December 24, 1899, a special service was conducted by Bishop Talbot in the Presbyterian Church, which was largely attended. New rooms were fitted up in the Semmel building in lower Slatington, and with the appointment of James L. Foote as the first warden a stronger spirit was shown. The mis- sion had six communicants.

In December, 1900, Rev. George A. Green be- came the first rector, and he conducted regular services every Sunday afternoon until July, 1904. By that time the communicants had increased to thirty-six, and the vestry to two wardens.

In the Summer of 1902 the subject of a new church had first been agitated. Subscriptions be- gan to be solicited; and then Mr. and Mrs. James L. Foote offered a building lot on the corner of Williams and Diamond streets which was accepted. This success led to the appoint- ment of a building committee in April, 1905, consisting of Rev. R. S. Radcliffe, James L. Foote, James L. Mast, Esau Prestwood, Charles North, Harry W. Jones, Harry E. Prestwood, W. J. Gladstone and John J. Parry, and their efforts were continued until a building contract was executed in May, 1906. Ground was brok- en ten days afterward. The corner-stone was laid by Bishop Talbot on Oct. 8, 1906, and finally on June 8, 1907, an attractive frame, Gothic edifice, 24 by 72 feet, which cost $10,000 was dedicated. The General Missionary of the Central Diocese Rev. R. S. Radcliffe, was very active in this work for several years. Services have been held every Sunday since the dedication without a rector.

A Sunday school was started in November, 1899 with Mrs. James L. Foote as superin- tendent, and she continued to serve this po- sition in a most faithful manner until she died in 1907. The chancel window, which contains a full length picture of Jesus Christ, was presented by Mr. Foote in commemoration of his wife who has come to be regarded as the principal founder of this church. Mrs. James L. Mast, also an active worker, succeeded Mrs. Foote as superintendent but she died shortly afterward. Edmund Collins was then appointed superin- tendent by the Bishop and he has served in an official manner until now. The membership of the school is 106. The membership of the church is small, only 28, having been greatly reduced by death and removals from the district.

Roman Catholic .- A considerable number of members of the Roman Catholic Church had for years been located in the vicinity of Slatington but were obliged to carry on their religious devotion in churches situated some miles away and this con- dition prevailed until 1883 when a small frame

chapel was established in the borough on the south side of Washington street, between Sixth and Seventh streets and this was maintained until 1908 when a larger frame building was erected, including a two-story frame parsonage. The services were conducted by priests from Mauch Chunk and Lehighton until 1906 when a sepa- rate parish was established here and Father J. C. Vitt became the local priest. He served the small congregation, numbering about 200 mem- bers from this section of the county, until 1911 when he was succeeded by Father Joseph I. Plappert.

CEMETERIES .- The Fairview .- There are two cemeteries in which the residents of Slatington bury their dead. The first was started by Robert McDowell on a part of his farm in the south- eastern section of the borough in 1868, elevated on the hill-side, and called "Fairview." It was laid out with 1, 108 lots and a large number have been sold for burial purposes ; and it was held by him until his decease in 1878, and after his death by his estate until 1910, when it was sold to the re-organized Fairview Cemetery Association which was incorporated and of which Dr. Luther Campbell has since been president.

Union .- The second was founded in 1870 by the Reformed and Lutheran congregations on an elevated tract of four acres south of Slatington, called "Union" after the church in which these bodies then worshipped jointly. The enclosure was enlarged gradually until now it embraces 13 acres. The burials from 1870 to Oct. 26, 1913, numbered 1,305, the record being so kept as to show the burials in consecutive order.

A corporation was instituted in 1895 under the name of the Union Cemetery Association, by members of the two churches, to maintain this cemetery in perpetuity without profit, and the two churches con- veyed the land secured by them to this corporation for the nom- inal consideration of $1. It is kept in fine order and includes many attractive monuments, in- cluding the "Soldiers' Monu- ment," dedicated in 1909, and the Firemen's Monument, dedi- cated also in 1909, several VIGILANT FIRE CO NOZ months later.

Undertakers .- Augustus Berkemyer was engaged at Saegersville as a cabinet-maker FIREMEN MONUMENT. in connection with undertaking from 1838 to 1864; removed to Slatington and there con- ducted the business of undertaking until 1869,

when he sold it to Daniel Heintzelman and removed to Allentown, and Heintzelman car- ried it on until he died when he was succeeded by his son, Henry, who has followed it since.

John F. Berkemeyer, son of Augustus, located at Slatington in 1891 to conduct this business and he has also followed it until the present time.

Joel Stettler was engaged in the business here for some years before 1880.

SCHOOLS.

Prior to 1858 the children of lower Slating- ton attended school half a mile north of the place along the river; and those of upper Slatington attended the Friedensville school, half a mile to the south.

The first school within the present limits of Slatington was started in the old stone mill of William Kern in 1820, but it was continued there only a few years. The next was started in 1858, and the Welsh congregation having separated, the school directors of Washington township rented the stone church for school pur- poses ; and this was used until 1868 when a new two-story, brick building (47 x 50 feet, costing $7,000 and dedicated Aug 30th), was provided by the township, at the southeast corner of Main and Second streets, which is still standing but considerably enlarged.

The teachers during this early period were George Berkes, Xantippe Kohler, Jones (Welshman), Miss Susan Knauss, Miss M. D. Baker, Miss Jane Mott, besides others whose names could not be recalled.

A school was conducted for a time in the second story of the Lehigh Slate Co. office build- ing, taught by Miss Rebecca McDowell; and an- other was conducted in the home of Moses Kuntz.

Rev. A. G. Harned, the pastor of the Presby- terian Church carried on a successful school in the church from 1857 to 1866, which was taught during part of the time by Berry, of Connecticut. Other schools were held in private houses ; but by the year 1868 most of them had given way to the common schools.

In 1868 the schools were divided into four grades: Primary, secondary, grammar and high, with pupils numbering altogether about 200, who were under the superintendency of A. J. Kline.

In 1875 the pupils numbered over 300. A second primary school was then opened in Mc- Dowell hall, the schools were graded with a bet- ter classification, and regular course of study, and higher studies were introduced for advanced pupils.

In 1879 the number of pupils had so increased

695

that more room was demanded and an addition was built to the school building, 25 x 45 feet, two stories high, costing $2,500; and the rooms were furnished with the latest appliances costing $1,- 000. The lot was also improved by grading and tree planting, and a strong retaining wall was built along Main street. The management of the schools became so popular that many pupils were admitted not only from the adjoining districts of Lehigh county but also from Northampton and Carbon counties which reflected much credit upon the administrative ability of Prof. Stettler. During his administration more than fifty young men and women became teachers from the High school as teachers, most of them securing positions in Lehigh and adjoining counties.

Besides the common schools, Prof. Stettler also conducted two night schools, one attended by the quarry and factory boys with sessions two evenings a week, and the other by advanced pupils for knowledge of the higher branches.

Since the public schools have been placed under Prof. James W. Snyder they have reached a very high degree of efficiency, and the graduation of the high school pupils has come to be a sufficient recommendation for their admission into colleges and universities.

CHAPTER XXXI.

BOROUGH OF SOUTH ALLENTOWN.

The borough of South Allentown adjoins the city of Allentown on the southeast. The land on which it is located was a part of the Allen family lands, portions of which were later owned by the Scholl, Keck and Mory families. In 1870, James and Stephen Barner sold about 200 acres to Aschbach, Weber and Rau, who then laid it off in building lots according to an adopted plan, and the proposed town was called Strassburg. The sale of lots and the development of the town was postponed on account of the severe panic which prevailed from 1873 to 1877. A few houses were erected and for many years the place was known as "Aineyville," after the head of the iron furnace in operation along the river from 1868 to 1906. The increase of population in Salisbury township and South Allentown, now the Twelfth ward of Allentown, resulted in the growth of the village and it became known as Southeast Allentown, by which name it is still generally known.

By a decree made May 21, 1909, after due pro- ceedings in the Court of Quarter Sessions, 462 acres, in the form of a square, were taken from the central portion of Salisbury township and in- corporated the borough of South Allentown. The first election was held June 29, 1909, at the hall of the Workingmen's Beneficial Society and the following officials were elected :

Edwin F. Miller, burgess; John Beck, Jacob W. Held, Wm. H. Hoffman, Bernhard J. Reilly, L. H. Reinhard, Edwin H. Scholl, and Wil- loughby Stephens, councilmen; A. J. Heller, treasurer.

The taxable inhabitants in 1914 numbered 590 freeholders, 302 tenants and 71 single men, a total of 963. The total assessment amounted to $964,745.00. The amount of tax levied was $4,000.00. The officials in 1914 are: Wm. H. Hoffman, burgess; James Druckenmiller, J. Rob- ert Eck, F. B. Gehris, Jacob W. Held, Charles E. Nonnemacher, John F. Waltz and Carvin J. Yeakel, councilmen ; Jacob H. Gehris, secretary ; Thomas K. Diehl, treasurer; J. Edw. Didra, Wallace Groman and H. O. Bleam, auditors; Jacob Christine and Fred Nonnemacher, con- stables. The justices of the peace are Charles F. Long and Harrison O. Bortz; and William Beck is assessor. Jacob H. Gehris was town clerk from

1909 to 1913 and Charles H. Heller from 1914. The estimated population in July, 1914, was 3,000. The meetings of the town council are held in the Arion band hall.

The Fearless Fire Company was organized in 19II. It has 135 members and Charles Messin- ger is the foreman. The water consumed by the residents was taken from cisterns until 1909, when water was obtained from an artesian well put down by M. B. Biery. In 1913, the bor- ough opened up two artesian wells on the south- east borough line, at a depth of 250 feet and a cost of $2,675.00, where a stand-pipe is being erected. A system of street lighting has also been installed. The electric street railroad was constructed through the town to South Bethle- hem in 1893 and to Emaus in 1895.

Tht first hotel was erected by Edwin F. Mil- ler in 1893, who conducted it for sixteen years. His son, E. C. W. Miller succeeded him, but he died several months afterward, and it has since been conducted by his son-in-law, Charles Minnich. The first general store was started by James Barner, and the second by Edwin F. Mil- ler. In 1914, there are four stores: Guth & Heller, M. D. Henninger, William Rau and Harry Reed. John A. Didra opened a bakery in 1905, which employs six hands and two teams. A blacksmith shop was started in 1912. James Ritter opened a greenhouse in 1904, and was suc- ceeded by T. B. Binns in 1908, and Milton Geissinger in 1910. Mr. Geissinger died in 1913 and was succeeded by his son, Wm. Penn Geis- singer, who also conducts a peach orchard of several acres, started by his father. There are two broad silk mills, the Keystone Textile Com- pany, which employs seventy people and the Stuy- vesant Silk Company, where sixty people are em- ployed.

The Lehigh Iron Company erected a furnace at the river in 1868 and another in 1872, which were operated until 1906. The company pro- duced annually for many years, 25,000 tons of pig iron and employed 150 men. Wm. H. Ainey was president and treasurer and Harrison Bortz, manager. The plant has now been dismantled.

Dr. W. A. Bachman located as the first phy- sician in 1911, and A. J. Heller, who had been a building contractor, located as an undertaker.
