The congregations possess a large pipe-organ, which was originally purchased in 1821, and formerly stood in the old stone church. When that building was torn down, it was removed and repaired and two registers added; it was then placed in the present church, and rededicat- ed with it in 1872.

A steam-heating plant was introduced in 1890;

and in 1913 a new organ, operated by an electric equipment, was supplied, costing $3,500.

In 1846 a Sunday school was begun at Union church by the late Rev. S. K. Brobst, Peter Gross, Esq., and others, which has remained in full life ever since. For thirty years it was under the superintendence of Mr. E. D. Rhoads, the organist of the church.

Many of the earliest settlers buried their dead on their farms, where their remains now rest, unmarked by any stone, upon spots undiscover- able at present. After the organization of Egypt and Union Churches, nearly all the interments took place on one or the other of the burying- places provided by these two congregations. The first burial ground lay to the rear and side of the old log church, and comprised the area oc- cupied by what is now known as the old ceme- tery. The latter lies on the side of the road op- posite to the present church building, and is inclosed with a low stone wall. The inscriptions upon many of the old headstones, which were often at first of comparatively soft stones and later of slate, have yielded to the influence of wind and weather, and are now partially or wholly undecipherable. The oldest legible one on the ground is that of Follatin (Valentine) Remeli, 1770. On May 18, 1886, the two con- gregations decided to lay out a new cemetery upon the church lands, and November 9th, rules for its regulation were adopted. It contains an area of two acres in the rear of the church, and was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies.

During 1883 the congregations erected upon the church land a commodious barn. This is used for storing the hay and crops raised upon the glebe (70 acres) the use of which, together with the old stone schoolhouse, is enjoyed under a lease from the congregations by the schoolmas- ter and organist.

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH .- For several years pre- vious to 1872, Rev. J. S. Renninger preached occasionally both to the Lutherans and Reformed of Laury's and the vicinity, and during 1871 he began holding services both in German and English regularly. His labors were fully ap- preciated and on Christmas of that year they pre- sented him with a substantial token of their es- teem and love. Rev. S. A. Leinbach had also begun, about May, 1869, to hold services both in German and English in the schoolhouse at Laury's, and continued to hold them every four weeks.

Most of the members belonged either to the Reformed or Lutheran congregations of Union and Egypt churches, but their desire to have a more convenient place of worship became so strong, and their numbers increased so much that it was resolved to form a separate church, and to that end Hon. David Laury and David Scheirer were appointed a committee to draft a plan of organization and a constitution. This draft was submitted to the members in February, 1872, and unanimously adopted, and an organization effected on May 12, 1872, with Rev. S. A. Lein- bach as the Reformed, and Rev. J. S. Renninger as the Lutheran pastor. The first church coun- cil consisted of Jacob D. Miller, Henry Heffel- finger, Reformed elders; Charles Loeser, and Reuben Yantz, Lutheran elders; Moses New-" hard, Thomas Newhard, David Scheirer, and Samuel Heiney, Reformed deacons; and Jacob B. Mauser, Thomas Schaffer, Samuel Shoch, and Eli Schumacher, Lutheran deacons.

Jacob Miller, Samuel Miller, and Moses Newhard each offered two acres of land from their farms, which were desired by the associa- tion for church lands, and that of Jacob Miller was accepted, one mile from Laury's. Thus it happens that this church is sometimes called Miller's church.

It was decided to erect a church building at once, and a building committee was appointed consisting of Joseph Roth and Joseph Peter from the Reformed side, and William J. Keck and David Laury from the Lutheran. On June 23, 1872, the corner stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies. The church was finished in the following year, and on the 13th and 14th days of September, dedicated to the service of God by Revs. L. Groh, J. B. Fox, and J. S. Renninger, Lutheran ministers, and Revs. Thomas Leinbach,

The church is of frame, 40 feet in width by 60 feet in depth, with a basement, also a steeple, 85 feet high, painted white, with a bell. The cost was $6,000.

The congregation number about 150 mem- bers, evenly divided between Lutherans and Reformed.

Organists .- The organists : Mr. Drucken- miller, Jennie Kuhns, Nellie Brader, and Orville Gruber (since 1905) ; superintendents of the Sunday school: Oscar Yehl and George Erdel.

A cemetery was laid out immediately after the purchase of the church lands, and rules for its regulation were adopted by the congregations in the spring of 1872.

In 1838, David Laury and Robert McDow- ell established a Sunday school, which held its meetings in the schoolhouse, near Laury's, and which was known as the "Slate Quarry Sunday School." The exercises were at first conducted entirely in English, but later in English and German. It was the first Sunday school pro- jected in Lehigh county outside of Allentown. After the completion of St. John's church, the meeting place was transferred to the basement and there the meetings have since been held. Judge Laury was superintendent up to the time of his death, in 1883.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS have been organized in var- ious parts of the township. As a general rule, the meetings are held in the public schoolhouses. At Schnecksville a Sunday school was organized in the spring of 1847, by Peter Gross, Esq., and Henry Rockel.

SCHOOLS .- The early German and Swiss set- tlers came with a fair share of common school learning, and there were but few among them who could not read or write. They recognized the advantages that instruction, even of a pri- mary nature, would confer on their children. Hardly were they established as a community be- fore they resolved to erect a place of worship, and with it the schoolhouse. This, as elsewhere, was the case in North Whitehall. The oldest schoolhouse within the present limits of the town- ship was the one erected at what is now Union- ville, about 1755. It was a low building of

logs, with small windows, poor light and ventila- tion. It stood in the meadow opposite the church building, near a walnut tree. The building was double, one side being occupied by the teacher and his family, and the other being used for school purposes. Instruction was of the most primitive description, and entirely in German. The only books used were an A, B, C, book or primer, the Psalter, and the New Testament. Some of the teachers were educated men from Germany, but generally their qualifications for the position of teacher were of a limited degree. Besides having the charge of the school, the teachers were also the organists of the congrega- tion. This first house at Unionville was suc- ceeded, about 1808, by a more pretentious struc- ture of stone, the expense of erecting which was defrayed by holding a lottery, authorized by an Act of Assembly passed the 15th day of February, 1808. This was successfully conducted by a committee composed of Daniel Snyder, Freder- ick Hausman, Peter Kern, Michael Deiber, Stephen Balliet, and Peter Butz. Like its pred- ecessor, it was a parochial school, and was con- ducted upon the same methods. It is still stand- ing, owned by the Unionville congregation, and was used as a residence by E. D. Rhoads, a teacher there for many years, still living in 1913 aged eighty-two years.

The present schoolhouse is a brick building, erected about 1880. It stands on land owned by the congregation, devoted to this purpose. There are two schools, graded.

German was the only language taught in the schools up to 1816, when the first English school was established at Ballietsville. In that year the English School Society was formed, and at a meeting held on the 29th of March, Stephen Bal- liet was elected president, and George Deich- man, Jacob Schneider, and Christian Troxell, managers. Peter Romich and Peter Butz were the secretaries. It was resolved to build a house, 20 by 24 feet in extent, and that each of the twenty subscribers to the house deliver one short and one long log towards its construction by the Ist of May following. Besides the officers already named, the subscribers were composed of the following: Nicholas Wotring, Peter Wot- ring, Samuel Snyder, Abraham Jacob, Wilhelm Rinker, Nicholas Scheirer, Michael Frack, Peter Graff, Joseph Balliet, Frederick Hausman, Sol- omon Graff, George Frantz, Peter Rumble, and John Laury. The building was erected about 100 yards southeast of Ballietsville, and was plastered within. Along the three walls of the interior were placed long desks, sloping up to the wall, with high benches without backs. One of these benches was occupied by the grown up

850

boys, another by the larger girls, and the third by the smaller boys and girls who were just be- ginning to read and write. In the center of the room, around a clumsy wood stove, sat on two rows of benches without backs the smallest chil- dren, who had nothing but their primers to handle. Near the stove, and along the fourth side of the building, was the teacher's desk, paint- ed red, about five feet high, with a bench of cor- responding altitude. Behind his desk, on the wall, were hung the hats, shawls, and scarfs of the scholars. In the corner stood a wooden buck- et filled with water, to which the children often journeyed during the long school hours, which lasted from eight in the morning till half-past four or five in the afternoon, with an intermis- sion of an hour at noon for dinner. This was generally taken by the children in the school- room, and during school hours the baskets and receptacles in which it was brought stood in a tempting row, flanking the water-bucket. The teachers were chosen by the neighbors; or some- times they began keeping school without consult- ing the wishes of the community. If the teach- ing of one of this latter kind was not agreeable to the parents they would not send their chil- dren, and thus effectually "freeze out" the self- constituted master by stopping his salary. Some of the teachers were well educated, but many were not. The course of instruction in these early schools embraced reading, writing, spelling, and arithmetic. The books used were Comly's "Primer and Spelling Book," Murray's "Intro- duction to the English Reader," "English Reader, and Sequel," Frost's "United States History," and "Pike's Arithmetic." Grammar and geog- raphy were unknown sciences.

The discipline in the early schools was unnec- essarily severe, and at times even cruel. School terms were seldom longer than four months, and many of the children were not sent to school longer than for one-fourth of that time. The schools were opened and closed with singing and prayer, after the good old German fashion. The exercises for each half of the day consisted of reading twice and spelling once, with writing and ciphering at their seats in the intervals by the older scholars. Little attention was paid to penmanship, writing was done with quills, and the making and mending of these was one of the principal qualifications demanded of a teacher. The teachers of the early parochial schools were paid by the parents of the pupils, but took out a greater portion of their remuneration by "boarding around," as it was called.

The English school building at Ballietsville was used till about 1865, when, upon the erec-

tion of a substantial new brick schoolhouse on top of the hill overlooking the village, it was trans- formed into a dwelling-house, and is now so used. The teachers at Ballietsville have been Dalton, Wallace, Roberts, Custus, Ellis, Mc- Carthy, Handwerk, Donahue, Frazer, Bissing, John Barton, Peter Weida, Adolph Bocking (of Dusseldorf, Prussia,) C. Williams, M.D., John Clifton, Revs. Alfred Dubs, and J. H. Dubs, Bowman, Pflueger, Kluge, T. F. Emmens, Ward, Gruver, H. S. Moyer, George F. Hottel, and Wilson.

Other schoolhouses, generally of logs, with no pretensions to architecture, and with no regard to light or ventilation, were also erected in the early part of this century at the Union Slate- . Quarries, in Deibert's Valley, at Schnecksville, and near Siegersville.

The poor were often unable in the early times to send their children to the schools provided, even for the short terms they were, and we find in the accounts of the county treasurer the fol- lowing credits allowed for amounts paid for the education of the poor in North Whitehall, in ac- cordance with the provisions of the act of March 29, 1824: For the year 1828, $15.01; for 1830, $13.29; for 1833, $8.07; for 1834, $25.59; for 1835, $73.91; for 1836, $51.35; for 1837, $121.21 ; for 1838, $114.15; and for 1839, $118.05.

Previous to the enactment of the general school law of 1834 it was the custom in commun- ities which had erected schoolhouses to elect, generally in the spring, trustees to take charge of the school interests. Thus the records of the Court show that on the 19th of May, 1825, no trustees having been elected in North Whitehall, the following were appointed for that purpose by the Court, viz: Peter Ruch, to serve for one year, Peter Gross, Esq., for two years, and George Scheurer, for three years. The first full board of which there is a record was composed of Dr. William Kohler, Dr. H. O. Wilson, Daniel Saeger, Esq., Rev. Joseph S. Dubbs, and David Laury.

After the acceptance, in the year 1843, of the provisions of the Act of 1834, the schools attained a degree of prosperity and discipline they had not known before. More and better school- houses were built, until 1884, when they num- bered 17, all substantial buildings of brick, and mostly furnished with modern school appliances. These accommodated 802 children, divided among 20 schools, 14 mixed and 6 graded. These schools were named after the localities in which they were situated and are given below, with

All are brick buildings excepting Siegersville, which is constructed of cement block.

Registered school children in 1912, 644; in 1913, 634.

The average monthly cost of each pupil for the year 1912-13 was $2.1812; for 1911-12, $2.35.

The value of the 20 buildings in 1912-13 was estimated at $27,000.

Robert M. Henninger, a retired teacher at Siegersville, taught public school twenty-five years, 20 in North Whitehall and 5 in South Whitehall.

Schnecksville Academy .- A superior English school was conducted in the village from 1856 to 1870. It was in a brick building at the foot of "School alley," nearly opposite the rear of the

present Sunday school chapel. The teachers were: Charles Rudy, Abner A. Kemball, Hoffman, and - Beam. Then it was sold to the township school authorities.

A public exhibition was given under the au- spices of the Academy, while Prof. Rudy was the teacher, in the Union Church at Neffsville on the afternoon of March 11, 1858, and the large au- ditorium was packed with interested and delight- ed people from the community. There were 25 numbers on the program of exercises, and those not given by classes were as follows:

3. Recitation-"Excelsior," by Alice R. Wilson, (a daughter of Dr. Samuel Wilson, of the vil- lage.)

7. Dialogue -- "Dr. Gregory and Patient," by J. E. Wilson (son of Dr. W.) and Martin S. Croll (now banker at Topton).

8. Song-"My Country, 'tis of Thee," by three daughters of Martin Semmel (Amanda, Lou- isa, and Mary).

10. Song-"Yielding to Christ," by Sarah E. Wil- son and Pauline J. Semmel.

12. Recitation-"Pauper's Death-Bed," by Sarah E. Wilson.

13. Reading-"While the Union lasts," by Joseph E. Wilson.

15. Recitation-"Parrhasius," by James L. Henry.

18. Song-"There is a Happy Land," by Alice and Sarah Wilson, Achilles J. Long, and Asher Fatzinger.

24. Reading-"Character of True Eloquence," by Al- fred A. Smith (now in Texas).

The selections rendered, the energy of the active participants, and the public appreciation of the people show the superior literary character of the township nearly sixty years ago.

Rudy, the Pedagogue .- Prof. Rudy was the son of Durs Rudy, a German farmer, merchant, and organist of Heidelberg township and is said to have been the best and most accomplished pedagogue ever at Schnecksville. Being fond of travel, he subsequently went to Paris, France, learned to speak fourteen languages fluently and conducted a school of languages with a proficient teacher for each language. In his extensive trav- els, he visited China, and there he compiled and published a Chinese grammar.

MILITARY SPIRIT .- The early settlers were heartily inclined to the peaceful pursuits of ag- riculture, to follow which most of them had fled from war and persecution in the old country. Not a score of years had elapsed after their set- tlement in the wilds of America, before they found themselves surrounded by new foes, spur- red on by the bitterest feelings of hate against the new-comers, who had squatted upon their favorite hunting grounds. The struggles with these savage enemies developed fighters of no mean ability, and from North Whitehall came a number, such as George Gangwere and the

Frantzes, whose fame has descended to this day. The short interval of peace succeeding the French and Indian war was busily employed by the farmers in improving their neglected lands, which had lain in enforced idleness during the reign of Indian terror. This quiet was rudely dis- turbed by the exactions of England, and the con- sequent outbreak of the War of Independence. The cause of freedom was eagerly embraced by its settlers, all of whom had been impelled to come to these wilds by their love of freedom. Among them were Stephen Balliet, who was in command of a regiment at the battle of Brandy- wine; Michael Laury, who gave his life at Mount Bethel, N. J., for his country; and his sons, one of whom was named Godfried; Chris- tian Acker, from near Unionville; John Kepp, George Semmel, Martin Moyer, and others whose names are not remembered. Of those who did not enlist and engage in active service, many hastened with teams to the army, and freely contributed their time and means to the relief of the patriot army, and to the advance of freedom's cause. Among them are remembered Peter Kuhn, Johannes Schad, and Adam Scheir- er. The success of the American arms again permitted them to return to the cultivation of their lands, from which they were again aroused by the exciting example of Heiney, Fries, and Gehman, who rebelled in 1798-99 against the imposition and collection of the house-tax, and whose cause was eagerly embraced by the sturdy and independent yeoman of North Whitehall.

Many of them were captured by the National troops and brought to trial, but all were released without punishment.

Their experience during this insurrection . taught them the value of trained military or- ganization, and the formation of military com- panies began to be agitated during the first decade of the present century, although it is claimed that Capt. George Dinkey's company of volunteers was organized as early as 1790, and assisted in the liberation of some of the rebel prisoners who were being tried by court-martial at Bethlehem in 1799. During the war of 1812- 14, Capt. Dinkey offered the services of his com- pany to the government, and the company was attached to the regular line. Among the mem- bers of the company at the time were William Siegfried, Daniel Boyer, Samuel Snyder, Jacob Rinker, Adam Leinberger, Adam Schreiber, Mi- chael Musselman, Daniel Saeger,. John Anne- walt, Peter Laudenschlager, and Daniel Sen- singer. The organization of the company was continued after their being mustered out of service, under the name of the North Whitehall Rifle Rangers. Their commander in 1826 was

Capt. Daniel Saeger, at which time the com- pany was known as the Whitehall Volunteer Rangers; in 1829-31 by Capt. Leonard Larosh ; in 1836 by Capt. David Laury; in 1848 by Capt. Reuben Frantz; in 1850, Capt. David Laury, who was probably the last commander of the company.

In the beginning of the war of 1812, Peter Ruch organized a cavalry company, which is claimed to have been the oldest in Pennsylvania. He was commissioned captain on August 1, 1814. On the first roll appear the names of Joseph Seager, Peter Troxell, Solomon Steckel, John Deichman, Peter Burkholter, Michael Frack, John Schwartz, John Schreiver, Daniel Leisen- ring, Peter Leisenring, and William Boas, first lieutenant. They proceeded to Philadelphia on September 8, 1814, in response to Governor Sny- ders call for volunteers to repel the threatened invasion of Pennsylvania, and their services were immediately accepted. They were mus- tered in, and lay encamped at Bush Run, near Philadelphia, till the Ist of October. On that day they struck tents, and on the 3d marched to Marcus Hook, 23 miles below the city, where they were engaged upon fortification and guard duty till the last week of November, when they were mustered out. They reached their homes in North Whitehall about the middle of Decem- ber, and were the heroes of the population, which flocked to welcome them. The organization was continued under the names of the Whitehall Troop, the North Whitehall Cavalry Troop, the Lehigh County Cavalry Troop, the North Whitehall Light-Horse, the North Whitehall Cavalry, and the Troop of Dragoons, according to the caprice of the various commanding officers. Every young man in the township at some time or other belonged to the company, and its fame extended far and wide. The uniform was of blue cloth trimmed with red, white belts, and leather helmet with red and white plume, and was furnished by the members at their own ex- pense. They met six times a year for drill and field practice.

The captains of the Whitehall Cavalry begin with Peter Ruch, the founder, who held the of- fice from 1814 to 1821. He was succeeded by Solomon Steckel, Sr., from 1821 to 1828; Jo- seph Steckel, 1828 to 1835 ; Solomon Steckel, Jr., 1835 to 1842; Thomas Ruch, 1842 to 1854; Edward Scheidy, 1854-1859; William Lichten- walner and Elias Kuntz, 1859 to 1862. During the captaincy of the last the name was changed to that of the Washington Troop, which it bore until disbanded in 1862. In midsummer of this year the company tendered its services to Gover- nor Curtin for assistance in the suppression of
