After this, timid efforts at mining the ore and reducing it to metal were made by various par- ties, but with little success until 1855, when the Pennsylvania Lehigh Zinc Company was incor- porated, with a capital of $1,000,000, works erected, and mining and manufacturing pushed with vigor. Up to 1859 the product of the mines was converted into white zinc paint, or oxide of zinc, exclusively. In 1859 the manufacture of metallic zinc by the Belgian method was begun, and in 1865 a rolling-mill for the manufacture of sheet-zinc was added.

The ore consists principally of silicate of zinc, but large masses of carbonate of zinc are also found, and both are of superior quality. It is found in small veins mingled with clay in the

cavities of the magnesian limestone, which is the prevailing rock, and also in large masses of thousands of tons. As high as 17,000 tons of ore have been raised in a single year, and the only drawback to the more successful prosecu- tion of the work that has thus far presented itself is the large quantity of water that accumulates in the mines. Various pumping engines were in- troduced from time to time, but none that was equal to the work assigned to it until 1872, when "The President," a mammoth engine, was erect- ed and put in operation, and which realized in a full measure the expectations of the company, as it easily and speedily rid the mines of water. As this was considered at the time the largest pump- ing engine in the world a description of it may not be uninteresting.

It was a vertical condensing engine, ten feet stroke with a cylinder of cast-iron one hundred and ten inches in diameter, and weighing forty tons. It had two fly-wheels, thirty-five feet in diameter, weighing, ninety-two tons apiece ; four walking-beams, weighing twenty-four tons apiece ; twenty-six other pieces weighing over seven tons apiece, while the nut, made of steel, which secured the piston-rod to the cross-head, weighed

eleven hundred pounds. The total weight of the engine was six hundred and sixty-seven tons. Six- teen boilers supplied the steam for it. It had thirty-three hundred horsepower and was capable of raising seventeen thousand gallons of water per minute from a depth of two hundred and twenty feet.

But, Alas! "How are the mighty fallen." The zinc mines, late a hive of industry, a center of activity, a source of wealth to some and of live- lihood to many, are abandoned, their workings crumpling and decaying, their machinery disman- tled, even the "President," that giant of energy, has been reduced to common junk by a still mightier giant, dynamite. But as the indications are that the supply of ore is far from being ex- hausted, let us hope that the abandonment is but temporary.

EARLY FAMILIES.

OWEN .- The Owen family were of Welsh origin. They were among the first immigrants to the state, and some of them became prominent in colonial days. Griffith Owen was a member of the Colonial Council from 1685 to 1707. John Owen was sheriff of Chester county in 1730. Owen Owen was sheriff of Philadelphia county in 1728, and coroner in 1730. After this he came to Saucon, took up lands and, as it seems, lived here at least part of the time. His wife's name was Margaret , and they had at least three children-Thomas, David and Mar- garet. The latter married Richard Thomas, and is not known to have left any descendants. Thomas became one of his majesty's justices of the peace. He is not known to have had off- spring. David, with his wife, Sarah

had eleven children: Thomas, David, Jonathan, Nathan, Joseph, Rachel, Mary, Sarah, Abigail, Lydia and Elizabeth. Of these, Thomas left three children. Nothing more is known of him. David, with his wife, Margaret had four children: Solomon, David, Elizabeth and Hannah. Jonathan has been lost sight of. Nath- an had two daughters,-Hannah and Sarah. Jo- seph, with his wife, Susana B. Hartzell, and two children, moved to Tennessee about 1794. Rachel, with her husband, Samuel Bachman, moved to the same state. Mary married William Grothouse. Sarah, Jonathan Scott, and Abigal, Jacob Ziegenfuss. Nothing is known of their de- scendants. Lydia married Henry Weber and is the grandmother of Thomas B., and Joel B. Weber, of Saucona, and Elizabeth married Abra- ham Seider and is no doubt the grandmother and great-grandmother of some of the Seiders living in different parts of the county. Of the younger David's children, Solomon married Catharine

Beil, and had one daughter, Elizabeth, who be- came the wife of Rev. Samuel Hess. David ap- pears to have died in youth. Elizabeth married Henry Engleman and is the grandmother of Clinton Engleman, of Allentown, and M. L. Engleman, of Coopersburg. Hannah married Adam Romig and is not known to have had any descendants. Of Nathan's daughters, Hannah married Peter Lynn and is the grandmother of Jeremiah Lynn, of Allentown, and Sarah mar- ried Andrew Engleman, and is the grandmother of Rufus Erdman, late prothonotary of Lehigh county.

ERDMAN .- For record of the family see Vol. II.

HELLER .- Christopher Heller, the progenitor of a very large proportion of the Hellers living in eastern Pennsylvania and in fact all over our country, left his home in Petersheim, along the Rhine, in Germany, early in the year 1738. He was accompanied by at least one of his sons, to- gether they proceeded to Rotterdam where they embarked on the ship "Winter Galley" for America. They arrived at Philadelphia Sept. 5, 1738, and apparently without unnecessary delay, struck out to acquire a foothold and secure a home and landed possessions in the country of their adoption. We find them soon after on a tract of about 200 acres (No. 9 on the map), near the present village of Limeport. He ac- quired some, and probably full though not or- iginal title to it. His stay here was of short duration, but long enough to afford him time to assist in founding the Chestnut Hill church. While still holding title to this land, we find him on Sept. 8, 1742, drawing a warrant for a tract of 176 acres "designated Delay" near the present village of Seidersville, Northampton county. During the following year he erected a substantial log house and soon after a barn of the same character and material, "both still standing." He resided here until his death. He was born 1688, died 1778, and is buried in the old cemetery at what is now the Lime Kiln School House, west of the furnace near Hellerstown. He had as far as has been ascertained six sons: Ist, John Dieter, or as we sometimes find him referred to, "Joseph." But little is known of him. He was employed by the Durham Furnace Co. in various capacities; at one time being engaged in trans- porting cannon balls to Philadelphia during the Revolution. He served four years as a member of Captain Calhoun's company of the tenth Pennsylvania line and was discharged in 1781. He afterwards lived in the country along the Susquehanna and acquired considerable real es- tate. Save that he had a family, nothing definite is known of his descendants. He was born 1719

and died in 1800. 2nd Simon .- This son at least was a fellow passenger with his father on ship- board, for being over 16 years of age he had to register on his arrival. He drew a warrant Oct. 3, 1746, for a tract of land near what is now Hellertown, which with additional acquisitions ultimately contained 215 acres. About 25 acres of this tract was on the east side of Saucon Creek, and on this he erected a saw and grist mill, now known as Wagner's mill. He sold out here in 1764 and with his whole family re- moved to Plainfield township. Here he acquired about 600 acres of land on which was a saw mill and a hotel, now or lately, the "Woodley House" at Wind Gap. He assisted in organizing the Plainfield Reformed congregation, was interested for the government in border affairs, served on the board of viewers to lay out the road through the Wind Gap, and on to Wyoming. His first wife's name was Louisa Dietz, of Milford town- ship. After her death he remarried, transferred his property to his son Jacob, moved across the mountain, acquired about 500 acres of land, built a log house, assisted in founding the Hamil- ton Township Church, died and was buried at the Plainfield church. He was born June 18, 1721, died May 20, 1783. He had sixteen children: Ist Sopronia, 2d Elizabeth, 3d Jacob, 4th Abraham, 5th Margaretta, 6th Sarah, 7th Daniel, 8th John, 9th Anthony, 10th Catharine, 11th Maria, 12th Michael, 13th Simon, 14th Veronica, 15th Louisa, and 16th Mary. The descendants of the late Peter Heller, of Allentown, are the only descendants of Simon Heller we know of in the county.

3rd Michael-This son arrived in America in 1749, eleven years after his father. On July 31, 1750, he drew a warrant for a tract of land con- taining 250 acres, now forming a large part of the site of Hellertown. It also included what is now known as the Stever farm, the old stone house on it was built by him. He was the founder of the town, became one of the wealthy and influential men of his county, contributed generously of his means to the Revolutionary cause, was a member of Col. Anthony Lerch's Saucon cavalry, that was the first to respond to the call for help in the Indian war of 1756, and which was the first body of armed men to reach the scene of the massacre of the Moravians above the Lehigh Gap and compelled the Indians to remain above the mountains, thus saving Bethle- hem, Nazareth and Easton. His wife's name was Catharine Keiper, a daughter of Carl Lud- wig Keiper, who resided near the present village of Limeport. None of his descendants are known to live in Lehigh county. He was born 1726,

died 1803, and is buried at the Lime Kiln School House.

4th Daniel .- There is no record of this son's arrival in America, and he probably came with his father and elder brother, Simon. Being under sixteen years of age he was not required to regis- ter, hence there would be no record. He made his home with his father and upon his death be- came the owner of the homestead and plantation. He was a carpenter and wheelwright. During the revolution he associated himself with two of his sons and a nephew, and they did an extensive business in Hellertown, making and selling wagons for use in the army. The enterprise was a losing one, but he saved enough to enable him to buy a farm for each of his children. His wife's name was Mary Keiper, another daughter of Carl Ludwig Keiper. His children's names as far as ascertained were Michael, a potter ; John Dieter, a farmer ;- Mathias and Jeremiah, wheelwrights. The two former we have lost sight of Mathias removed to Northumberland county, near Berwick, where now reside many of his descendants. Jeremiah settled north of the mountains and west of the Lehigh. Daniel, the father, was born 1726, died 1803, and with his wife is buried at the Lime Kiln School House.

5th Ludwig .- This son arrived in this country Oct. 3, 1753. The voyage was made in the ship "Eastern Branch." His relatives drew a warrant for a tract of land of 25 acres in his name Sept. 11, 1751, two years before his arrival. Little else is known about him, but that he also did service for the Durham Furnace Company, later moved to Bucks county and later still to Hamilton township, Monroe county. He was born about 1728, died 1807, and is buried at Hamilton Church.

6th, Christopher, junior, arrived in this coun- try on the ship "Duke of Bedford" in 1751. It is evident from a number of circumstances that he made his first home in America on the farm near Limeport in which his father became inter- ested soon after his arrival and that he remained there for about ten years; later it appears he, too, moved to the neighborhood of Hellertown and thence to a point on the Delaware river near Belvedere, New Jersey. He took much interest in mills and provided nearly all his children with a mill of some kind. He was the third son of Christopher, senior, to marry a daughter of Carl Ludwig Keiper. Her name was Elizabeth. He was born 1731, died 1805, and is buried at Stone Church, Upper Mount Bethel township, North- ampton county. His children were Michael, Elizabeth, Magdalena, Solomon, Daniel, Joseph and Catharine. Of these Joseph and Michael

remained in Lower Saucon, while the rest prob- ably went with their parents to Upper Mount Bethel. Two of the sons of Michael drifted back to Lehigh county, both locating in Upper Saucon, "wither they were followed by their par- ents in their old age," and from these most of the Hellers now living in the county have de- scended. Michael, the father, born Jan. 9, 1758, died June 12, 1849, married Magdalena Buch- ecker, and had six children: George 1778-1794, Daniel 1781-1789, Paul 1784-1871, Mary Mag- dalena' 1 788-1812, Tobias 1789-1854, and Joseph 1797-1801. Of these Paul married Catharine "Owen," maiden name Beil and had three chil- dren: Abraham, Owen and Mary. Tobias mar- ried Susanna Rentzheimer and had five children : Charles, Amos, Priscilla, Catharine and Susan. Mary Magdalena died unmarried. Of Paul's children, Abraham married Mary Egner and is the father of Frank B. Heller, of Upper Saucon, Permelia C., widow of Edwin Neimeyer, of Emaus, and Sylvesta A., wife of Alfred A. Sell, of Upper Saucon. Owen married Leah Brunner and resides with his son, Llewellyn, in Bethle- hem. Mary married Peter Trexler and is the mother of John J. Trexler, of Perkasie, Bucks county, the late Peter H. Trexler, of Limeport, the late Mrs. Daniel Weaver, the late Mrs. Ed- win Miller and Mrs. John Cope, of Allentown.

Of Tobias' children, Charles married Eliza- beth Burt and removed to Philadelphia. His children are Burt, George R., Charles F., Na- poleon, Mary, Eve and Jennie. Amos married Angelina Bieber and afterwards Eliza Ritter, his children are Ann, Sallie, Elmira, Carrie, Oliver, Edgar, Hiram, Alfred and Wilson,

Priscilla married the late Frederick Wunder, of Emaus, and had no children. Catharine mar- ried Jonathan Rumfeld and is the mother of Mrs. Milton Dotterer, of Allentown; Mrs. Lando K. Moyer, of Coopersburg, and Mrs. Solomon Rit- ter, of Allentown. Susan married the late Charles H. Erdman, of Upper Saucon, and is the mother of Harvey T. Erdman and Owen G. Erdman, of Upper Saucon.

and near Limeport for 7 years. Mr. Heller has been a student and great reader all his life. In the fall of 1876 he was elected as a Demo- crat to the State Legislature and re-elected in -1878; served with marked ability as a member of the Committee on Education.

Mr. Heller was engaged as an agriculturist for some years but later he rented the 100 acre farm and continued to superintend its successful cultivation.

He was appointed, in 1900, as a trustee of the State Hospital for Insane at Norristown, and has served up to the present time. He is the sec- retary of the Board of Trustees since 1908. So- cially he is a member of Coopersburg Lodge, No. 390, I. O. O. F., and of the Saucona Encamp- ment, No. 117; is a past grand and past repre- sentative to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows; and has served Blue Church as a deacon and elder.

HON. FRANKLIN BENJAMIN HELLER,1 who occupies the Owen homestead in Upper Saucon township was born Sept. 11, 1844, on the same tract which had been in the Owen family from 1743 until 1820. He is a son of Abraham and Mary B. (Egner) Heller. His education was obtained in the public schools, the Freeland Semi- nary which is now Ursinus College and by close application to books and the use of midnight oil. He was married June 15, 1875, to Mary J. Dillinger, daughter of William D. and Helena (Person) Dillinger. They have two children, viz: (1) Robert A., married to Florence, a He taught school for thirteen terms, from 1863 to 1876, holding a permanent certificate for some years before he left the teaching profession. He taught school near Coopersburg for 6 years daughter of Zacharia Heist. She died in 1911,

leaving one daughter-Beatrice-who now lives with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Heller; another daughter, Evelyn, preceded her mother in death. Mr. Robert A. Heller is con- nected with the Minnesota Seal Flouring Mills, at New Prague, Minn. (2) Nellie M. married Isadore Selig. They reside in Lower Milford township and have two sons: Frederick Bern- hard, and Harold Heller Selig.

REINHARD FAMILY.2

Johann Georg Reinhard, the progenitor of what is known as the Lehigh County Reinhard family, came from the Palatinate in Germany and settled in Upper Saucon township, North- ampton (now Lehigh) county, Pennsylvania. The dates of his birth and arrival in America have not, thus far, been ascertained; but it is believed that his bith dates before the year 1 720, for, in the month of December, 1740, he made application to the authorities of the then Province of Pennsylvania for a tract of land, which was surveyed to him in April, 1741. It is presumed that he must at least have attained his majority when this took place.

This tract of land of 122 acres and the usual allowance, the patent for which was not granted until November, 1762, is situate a short distance, about north of St. Pauls (Blue) Church, in Up- per Saucon township, and comprises, in part, the original Reinhard farm in that township. In the year 1775, he conveyed this farm to his fifth child, his son, Henry; whose executors, in the year 1826, sold it to Jacob Marder. It then re- mained out of the family name for eighty-two years,-until the year 1908,-when it was pur- chased by Norman J. Reinhard, a lienal descend- ant of the Henry mentioned above.

Johann Georg Reinhard was an elder in the Lutheran congregation of the "Blue" Church for a term including the year 1761. He was married to Maria Barbara, daughter of Philip and Maria Sarah Raub. According to the bap- tismal records of the "Blue" Church they had ten children, whose names follow, and for purposes of distinction we consider them as the second generation, viz: (The year of birth follows each name.)

Of these (1) Maria Sarah, (5) Henry, (7) Andrew, and (8) Catharine Barbara, are the

only ones of whom further information has, thus far, been obtained. The last named of these four-Catharine Barbara-married a Mr. Rehs and removed to Springfield township, Bucks county, where she is buried.

The foregoing embraces a sketch of the family in part to the fourth generation and in part to the fifth generation inclusive. The sixth, sev-

enth and eighth generations combined are too numerous to publish in connection with this sketch. A more complete genealogical family history, embracing practically all the families in detail, is in course of preparation by Osman Franklin Reinhard, of Bethlehem, Pa., and will be published separately at some future time in book form.

Edward Francis Reinhard, son of Joseph Rein- hard (1805-1889), was born in Saucon town- ship, Lehigh county, Sept. 24, 1827. He was educated in a private academy at Egypt, under Prof. Bernd, walking daily from "Blue" Church in Saucon township, to Egypt to attend the academy. He taught a subscription school at Schnecksville, having at times upwards of 125 pupils enrolled, many of whom became profes- sional men. He also taught at the Stone Church, and was a man of varied accomplishments. He was accounted one of the leading surveyors of the county and did much in this line. He was by trade a stone cutter, which he followed reg- ularly. He was organist at the Unionville Church and the Stone Church for a number of years; also a justice of the peace of Lehigh town- ship, where he resided from 1850 until his de- cease. He was a political leader in his district. He was a member of the U. B. Church, serving it as a local preacher and as a church official. He died April 15, 1902, and was interred at Pennsville, Northampton county, Pa.

Edward Francis Reinhard married Salome Rockel, daughter of Henry Rockel, of Schnecks- ville, born in Dec., 1829, died Dec. 30, 1904. Issue :
