In 1913 the village contained 40 dwellings and an estimated population of 200; also a fine brick school building, besides the hotel, store, and R. R. station.

ROCKDALE is in the northeastern extremity of the township, along the Lehigh river at an old Indian fording-place where the Crab creek has its outlet. It owes its origin to the construction of the L. V. R. R. in 1855, when a large deposit of superior sand for moulding and building pur- poses was discovered at this point and the lo- cality then took the name of "Sand-bank," but this was changed to Rockdale in 1856 by the railroad superintendent.

A railroad station was built here by the own- ers of the land, Christian Pretz and Stephen Balliet, to facilitate their shipment of freight. Elias Lentz built a hotel there in 1856, and he conducted the business for five years. He also put up a saw-mill and several dwellings. He was succeeded by William De Long, who carried on the place for about thirty years; then Franklin P. Rabert became the owner and he has been the proprietor until now. Coal chutes were estab- lished there and maintained during this time.

A post office was established some time before 1871 at the Boyer Hotel, half a mile up the creek; then transferred to Rockdale where the hotel keepers have since been the postmasters.

In 1913, the village included 10 dwellings, be- sides hotel, coal-chutes and private railroad sta- tion.

The following ministers were brought up at Rockdale, and in the vicinity: Reformed-Nero Peters, Mosby Roth, Benjamin Roth, Hiram Frantz, and Osville Frantz; Lutheran-Elias Yehl; Clinton Everett became a prominent edu- cator, teaching for some years in Muhlenberg College, then located in South Carolina. Samuel Miller served as sheriff of Lehigh county from 1890 to 1893, having been prominent in Dem-

ocrat politics for many years, and born and brought up between Rockdale and Laury's, where he still resides at the age of seventy-six years.

The electric light and power line, planted on structural iron piers, during the spring and summer of 1913, (which enters the county near "Bake-Oven," on the Blue mountains and ex- tends in an eastwardly direction through the northern corner of Heidelberg, the central sec- tion of Washington and the northern section of North Whitehall to and beyond Laury's,) crosses the ravine several hundred feet west of Rock- dale.

Mr. Lentz made two remarkable discoveries here, which caused much comment and awakened the liveliest curiosity. In 1856 he and a laborer were engaged in elevating a dumping-place for coal which was occasionally flooded by the ris- ing waters of the river, and while digging into the sloping bank of the creek, about 60 yards from the river, the laborer turned up a coin with his pick axe. Upon examination it was found to be the top one of a pile of nineteen coins which were buried two feet under the surface. These coins were round, as large as a "Bland Dollar," and about as thick as a silver half- dollar. The substance did not appear like gold or silver metal, yet it gave out a clearer and more resonant sound than either. The spot was thickly overgrown with old beds of bushes hav- ing tangled roots, and a licorice tree stood about eight feet to the south. No remains of a box or covering was found about the coins, and they seemed to have been placed just as they were found. All were exactly similar and the inscrip- tion seemed to resemble Chaldaic characters. A distinguished Jewish rabbi said they were like a coin used by some nation contemporaneous with the second Hebrew king, about 2,400 years be- fore the birth of Christ.

About three months after the discovery of the coins, Mr. Lentz made a second discovery at a place sixteen feet distant from the other. Thom- as Ruch was hauling away coal with a four-horse team from the same dumping place, and, while driving away, the wheels sank into the bank which had become soft from recent rains. One of the rear wheels turned up a stone of pe- culiar shape, 101/2 inches long and 21/2 inches thick, whose ends were perfectly round and smooth. The ends had the appearance of being sealed, and upon breaking them one was found to contain a substance which resembled crushed oyster-shells, and the other a coil of coarse, black human hair. No explanations have been made relating to the time or the cause of these strange deposits.

About a mile above the village along the rail-

road, Lewis Peter (son of Daniel), opened a large "Sand pit," and carried on operations for a number of years until 1908.

TREXLER DEER PARK .- Col. Harry C. Trex- ler, of Allentown, in 1906, established a reserva- tion covering about 1,500 acres of rolling farm and wood land for raising deer, buffalo, and elk, to keep these animals from becoming extinct ; nearly all of which large area lies in North Whitehall township not far from Schnecksville, a small portion (about 100 acres) being in Low- hill. It is well-watered by meandering streams, in picturesque ravines, prominent among them being the Jordan; and it is enclosed by a strong wire fence, eight feet high and altogether thir- teen miles long, with gates at certain points for convenient ingress and egress in its supervision. The keeper of the park from the beginning has been Oliver Frey. The animals in the reserva- tion October, 1913, numbered 300 deer, 12 buf- falo, and 20 elk.

INDIAN BAKE-OVEN. - Near the top of Schantz's Hill, in the Trexler Deer Park, about a mile west from Schnecksville in a direct line, there is a great curiosity in a slate rock on the southerly steep hill-side, five hundred feet above the rippling waters of the Jordan, and this has excited much curiosity in settlers and hunters for over a hundred years. No one knows when it was first discovered but there it still is, apparently a mark of pre-historic times, not a natural hole or indentation worn in the protruding rock by the rains and storms and changing seasons as if eaten out by the "Teeth of Time," but a ver- itable excavation by a sharp implement, hollowed out from the edge, exactly like a bake-oven, five feet in diameter and nine inches high, with a rectangular inlet, eighteen inches wide and six inches high, and a hole through the top into an aperture shaped like a cigar-box whose outlet is six inches wide and three inches high, as if de- signed for smoke to escape.

A steep deer path passes in front of this ledge of rock, and the oven is about five feet above the path. This rock is surrounded by chestnut and oak trees of medium growth, and a rock-oak stands on its western extremity.

A considerable platform of rock is known to have originally extended a foot or more in front of the entrance to this oven, but most of it was broken off by violence by several inconsiderate boys some years before Colonel Trexler enclosed the land for a "Deer Park."

SAND-SPRING .- Half a mile east of Schnecks- ville, near the Wotring Mill, there is a large spring which bubbles up through a bed of sand with a strong and perennial flow of excellent water. From the time of the earliest settlements,

866

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

this was a central point which attracted much attention, and for many years before the days of trolley-lines and railroads there were only two conspicuous and popular places in Lehigh county for picnics and pleasure parties, and they were generally known as "Dorney's Park," and "Wot- ring's Sand-Spring."

It is evident, from the numerous flint relics found here during the course of a hundred years, such as arrow and spear heads, stone implements, etc., that the Indians had a village in the vicinity of this spring. The locality would naturally at- tract them for its picturesque environment, as it later also attracted the German immigrants. It was on the "Indian Trail," which extended through this section of country.

This bubbling spring flows into an egg-shaped basin about fifty feet long and thirty feet wide, surrounded by oak and chestnut trees, with a slight embankment of small rocks, covered with moss, grass, and low bushes at its head. Fifty years ago, the flow was much stronger than it is now. The commotion over the outlet at the bottom extended several inches above the sur- face and carried along considerable particles of sharp, white sand. The flow was so strong that the owner of the grist-mill secured and held for

a long time a water-right from this spring, hav- ing constructed a ditch through several fields for 500 yards and led the water by gravity into the dam, so as not to allow it to pass down a rivulet into Coplay creek without supplying any power on its way.

ADDITION TO TOWNSHIP .- On April 19, 1897 a portion of Washington township was added to North Whitehall to facilitate road making. The tract of territory was described in the proceed- ings in the Court of Quarter Sessions, as fol- lows :

Beginning at the intersection of Lowhill, Hei- delberg, Washington, and North Whitehall townships, thence N. 2414° W. 201.8 perches to a point where the division line, on lands of John Sell and David Handwerk, (formerly of William Metzger and Monroe Peter), inter- sects the division line between Washington and Heidelberg townships, thence by lands of Wil- liam Fenstermaker, David Handwerk, David Kehnel, Reuben Reber, Benjamin Geiger, and Willoughby Kern, at N. 5814° E, 652 ps., to a stake, thence by lands late of Abraham Bear and Joseph Hunsicker, N. 5014° E., 81.8 ps., to a line intersecting the road leading from Union church to the old Mauch Chunk road.

CHAPTER XLI.

SALISBURY TOWNSHIP.

Salisbury township lies in the Southeastern part of Lehigh county. Its surface is rolling, well watered and fertile. The township slopes from the Lehigh Mountain, which marks its southern boundary to the north and east to- wards the Lehigh river, which forms a part of its northern and eastern boundary. Few squat- ters had probably settled within the bounds of the township between the years of 1730 and 1735; but it was not until the latter date that the Penns began to dispose of their holding and that a steady stream of immigrants, some from the lower counties and others direct from the Fatherland began to cross the Lehigh Mountains and settle within the boundaries of the township.

On March 20, 1753, a number of persons from along the West branch of the Delaware (Lehigh River) united in petitioning the court of North- ampton county that they be formed into a town- ship. This petition was presented to the court, May 20 of the same year, together with similar petitions from Whitehall and Weisenberg. The following action was taken by the court June 9, 1753; that :

"The petition of divers persons, inhabitants of a tract of land, eight miles long by three miles broad, bounded on one side by the West branch of the Delaware river, and on the other side by the respective townships of Upper Saucon, Upper Milford, Macungie and White- hall, praying that the same may be laid out in a township, to be called Salisburg, be allowed."

The name of the township is often spelled Salzburg or Saltzburg, and Gen. W. W. Davis, in his History of Bucks County, claims this as the original spelling, but since the original war- rants contain the spelling "Salisbury," and be- cause the provincial government was English, in all probability it was named after Salisbury in England; which, however, the German settlers pronounced as "Saltzburg," and spelled it ac- cordingly. The general accepted spelling to-day is Salisbury.

Nearly all the early settlers of the township were of the Lutheran and Reformed faiths, and soon after their arrival they joined hands in the

election of churches, in which they worshipped alternately. The first house of worship thus jointly erected in the western end of the town- ship on the banks of the Little Lehigh river in 1741 and was known for a time as the church "on the Little Lehigh," but later the name was changed to "New Jerusalem church, Western Salisbury." In 1759 there was erected another union church in the eastern end of the township and was the "New Jerusalem church, Eastern Salisbury." These two churches, together with the Moravian church at Emaus, were for many years the only houses of worship in the town- ship.

About four miles west of Allentown and less than two miles north from Emaus is located the

867

Jerusalem Union Congregation of Western Salis- bury. It is jointly owned by the Lutheran and Reformed congregations worshipping in it. It stands on an elevated plateau, near the Little Lehigh River, and can be seen from far and wide. The edifice is a splendid type of church archi- tecture of the olden time. It is built of stone, its ceiling is high and arched and galleries are found on the sides. It was erected in 1819, but remodeled in 1884, when the interior was changed and the steeple with its vestibule added. The first church was erected in 1741, which is de- scribed as having been rudely constructed of logs with a stone covered floor, hewn logs for pews and without a stove.

The church register contains the following in- scription :

ANNO DOMINI. 1741 Ist Die Kirche Gebaut Worden.

In diesem lieben Gottes Haus

Soll Jesus gehen ein un aus,

Un Gott soll hoch gelobet werden Von uns, sein Volk auf dierser Erden,

Das wer hir horet Gottes wort,

Moeg selig werden hir und dort.

AMEN.

Alles was odem hat, lobe den herrn, HALLELUJAH.

CHURCH IN 1819 (FROM AN OLD SAMPLER).

After a number of years it was replaced by a frame structure which again in 1819 gave way to the present edifice. Though the first church was erected in 1741 it was not until two years later (December 15, 1743) that a deed for the ground upon it was erected. The parties to the deed were Johann Wilhelm Straub, "Prediger dahlier an der Kleine Yecha," and Hennrich Roth and Johann Martin Bamberger." Wir be- geben uns vum dieses Platzlein (2 acker fur 20 schillings) mit aller geretighkeit auf heisi- ger landesfreiheit, an die schon wirklich erbaute Reformirte, Evangelische, Lutherische Kirche, Gott zu ehren unser und unserer nachkommlingen Sellen Heil und Wohlfart."

Prior to the erection of the church in 1741 religious services were held in barns and groves, by itinerant missionary pastors ; among those who visited the section with some degree of regularity were Reverends John Philip Boehm and John Henry Goetschy.

As is the case with many of the early baptism- al records, the record opens with a Latin inscrip- tion :

Among those who brought children to baptism prior to 1800, we find the following family names :

The cemetery, which is large and well kept, contains the ashes of many of the early settlers of the Macungie region, as well as those of quite a few friendly Indians. Tradition also locates here the grave of the massacred Frantz family. 'The cemetery has been carefully plotted and a record of every burial is made.

NEW JERUSALEM UNION CHURCH, EASTERN SALISBURY.

From the original records of this union con- gregation which have fortunately been carefully preserved and which are now kept in a fire proof safe by Mr. James W. Larash, we learn that the first house of worship was erected in 1759. The record is in the handwriting of Rev. Daniel Schumacher, and begins:

IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN.

The Christian Evangelical Lutherans and Re- formed, both adhering to the Protestant religion, have together erected a church in Salzburg town- ship in Northampton county, in the year of the Lord, 1759. This church was built after the

SALISBURY TOWNSHIP.

Indians had again ceased to burn and to kill in this neighborhood, and by poor people only, who were, however, assisted by their brethren with small contributions.“

"The first preacher on the part of the Re- formed Congregation at the dedication of this new church, was the Rev. Rudolph Kidwiler, popularly known as the Swiss preacher. A Lu- theran minister had also been selected for the dedication, but it was not possible for him to be present. The second preacher on the part of the Lutheran congregation was the Rev. Daniel Schumacher. His text at the dedication of this new church was from the Prophet Haggai, Chap. 2, vs. 7, 8 (9). "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, and in this place will I give peace.' Held 1759, Sixth Sun- day after Trinity, in the afternoon at 2 o'clock."

"The first elders and deacons were: Christian Kaub and Matthis Gurth, Conrad Jacobi and John George Weber."

"The deacons who were elected at the begin- ning of the new church, have the right for them- selves and also for those elders and deacons who shall succeed them, to sit side by side in their pew, and the offerings that shall be gathered at the service held by either preacher, shall be care- fully preserved by both congregations and elders and applied to the church.

(Signed) CHRISTIAN KNAUB, Lutheran Deacon *George WEBER

CHRISTIAN LIESZ

CONRAD JACOBI, Reformed Deacon."

*"Because George Weber separated from our church, Christian Leisz, whose name comes next, was elected in his place a Lutheran Deacon."

John Rudolph Kidenweiler, January 2, 1717, came to Pennsylvania from Basel, Switzerland. He is often referred to as "Der Schweitzer Pfar- ra." He qualified at Philadelphia, September 28, 1749. He came with the Swiss Colony to the upper end of the county to the "Swiss Eck," and preached to his countrymen in the houses and groves. In 1750 he founded the Weisenburg congregation. In 1754 he became pastor of the Longswamp congregation and served as their pastor for a period of seven and one-half years. In 1763 he accepted a call from the Great Swamp Congregation, and died there the follow- ing year, October 2, 1764.

The Rev. Daniel Schumacher, after preaching three years in Nova Scotia, was obliged to leave there because the people were too poor to sup- port him. He came to New York, and from there the Rev. John A. Weygand recommended the theological student, Schumacher, to the min-

isterium for ordination. For some reason Schu- macher was never received into the Ministerium. It is known that he served a number of congre- gations in Berks and Lehigh counties from 1754- 1774. From 1755-1758 he was pastor of Trin- ity Church, Reading, and also served other con- gregations in that vicinity. He labored in Egypt and at one time had as many as sixteen congre- gations. His remains are buried in the grave- yard of the Weisenburg Church, Lehigh county. In the Theological Seminary at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, his private baptismal records, con- taining several thousand baptisms, are found. He wrote a very legible hand. His records in this congregation dated from July 22, 1759, the day of dedication with one or two interrup- tions to 1768.

Baptisms were generally administered by him in church on the occasion of his visits on Sun- day. When performed- elsewhere he indicates the place. The first baptism recorded is that of George David, a son of David and Martha Hamman, born July 11, 1759; baptized July 22, 1759. The sponsors were George Spohn and his wife, Maria. The names of families that appear in this old record, besides those mentioned are: Kaub (may this not be the original spelling of the name, now so numerous in this vicinity, Cope?), Herzog, Eberhard, Weber, Miller, Em- ich, Schoener, Giesz, Claus, Boehm, Wagner, Hartman, Duerr, Smetzer, Brasser, Luzarus Kotz, Stahl, Gorges, Nagel, Theyle, Mertz, Rentzheimer, Rassmus, Gernet, Lehr, Stuber, Appel, Rubb, Schneider, Kaiper, Grumbach, Ziesloff, Schwencker.

In 1769, Rev. Lizce baptized two children. The last baptism in this book was on May 21, 1786, when Rev. Carl Christoph Goetz, Preach- er at Jordan, baptized John George, son of John. William Kaup (or Cope) and wife (nee Rentz- heimer ), born January 12th. The sponsors were George Kaup and Christina Rentzheimer.

"Of this list of communicants, it will be of interest to learn that 'Elder Henry Rentzheimer,' whose name appears first on the list, was a clock maker, and .quite recently we saw one of his clocks, containing chimes, in the home of Mrs. Elmer Reiss, near Friedensville, made by Henry Rentzheimer in 1789, for John Ehschelman, the great-great-grandfather of Mrs. Reiss."
