In a special department handsome mothproof cedar wood chests are made and a department is being fitted up for the manufacture of hosiery boards.

The factory is of fire-proof construction throughout. It was erected by H. G. Scheldon & Company under Dr. Balliet's supervision. The boiler room, electric light plant, coal bins and re- pair rooms occupy an annex to the main factory. To conform with the insurance regulations the drying kilns are constructed under ground with entrances from the basement. Wide stairways and a large electric elevator connect the floors.

Three 125-horsepower boilers were installed by William H. Taylor & Company, and the Warren & Webster vacuum heating system and the automatic sprinklers were also installed by the Taylor firm. The building was wired by the Lehigh Electric Company and a factory 'phone is connected with every department.

Dr. Balliet gives his entire time to the super- vision of the work of the 250 people in the plant. The top floor or finishing department is in charge of Miss Sallie Edinger. Fred Doll, Jr., has charge of the manufacturing floor, and takes care of the basement in which the planing, drying, re- sawing and staining is done. Fred Doll, Sr., manufactures the cedar chests and shaping boards. Edw. Kemmerer is in charge of the printing office.

The automatic nailing, sanding and trimming machines are the most modern. They are made by L. F. Grammes & Sons, of this city, who are also the patentees.

Mr. Balliet was married, Feb. 21, 1889, to Miss Anna Morgan, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Romich) Morgan. Mrs. Morgan was a daughter of John Romich. Thomas Morgan had five children :

LINEAGE OF JOHN BALLIET, SON OF PAUL

By W. W. Deatrick, Sc. D., Professor of Litera- ture in the Keystone State Normal School, Kutztown, Pa.

John Balliet, son of Paul, the pioneer, was born at Whitehall on Dec. 1, 1761. At an early age he married Catharine M. Mickley, born March 28, '1764, died Jan. 2, 1835, a daughter of John Jacob Mickley. He served as a private in the Revolution and afterwards in the border troubles. First he was a private under his broth- er, Col. Stephen Balliet ; later he was captain of a company in Col. Abraham Rinker's Battalion. History tells how John Balliet, of Whitehall,

prevented by illness in the family from partici- pating in the expedition made by the detail under command of Col. Stephen Balliet, to Sugarloaf Valley to bury the dead massacred by the Indians in 1780, heard from the returning soldiers of the beauty and fertility of that then unoccupied re- gion. Having had his imagination fired by these glowing accounts, in 1784, with his wife and two children, Balliet removed thither, settling at a spring, headwaters of the Little Nescopeck, in the upper end of the valley, at a place later known as Beisel's, about one mile west of Drum's, becoming the first settler in the entire valley. Travel to that place could be made only on horseback. The two children, as the story goes, were placed one in each of two beegums which, strapped together, were slung over the back of a horse. In descend- ing Broad mountain, the connecting strap broke and the beegums with their human treasure fell down the mountain side. His first habitation was of poles set up against a tree; later he built a log house which, being destroyed by fire sev- eral years after, was replaced by a frame struc- ture, the first frame house in the Nescopeck Val- ley, still standing, removed from its original site, and doing duty as a shed on the farm of S. F. Readler, the present (1913) owner of the prop- erty. In the same year, 1784, John Balliet took out warrants for two tracts of land, one of 103 acres, 65 perches, the other of 10134 acres "in Towamensing."

So existing receipts to John Balliet, son of Paul, prove. These receipts and other papers which re- fer to the subject of our sketch and which speak of him as "John Balliet of Towamensing" seem to make it questionable whether John Balliet, son of Paul, was the "John Balliet of Whitehall" who was the first settler in Nescopeck Valley. Various records, cemetery, church, and military, seem to make it certain that about 1780 there were several John Balliets in Whitehall. Whether what is now Butler township in Luzerne county was then included in the not clearly defined "Towamensing," this narrator has not been able to determine. Northampton county, about that time, as shown by the maps of the period, ex- tended to the north branch of the Susquehanna. -W. W. D.

Oct. 17, 1806, John Balliet purchased 240 acres of land in Turbot township, Northumber- land county, Pa., (now Limestone township, Montour county), near the present village of Limestoneville. Renting this property shortly afterwards to his son, John Balliet (2d), he pur- chased a farm nearby and erected on it a com- modious stone dwelling in which he resided to the time of his death, Nov. 2, 1837. He is buried by the side of his wife in the graveyard of Para-

dise Reformed church, of which the Balliets were prominent members, just over the border line of Montour and Northumberland counties. About 1810 he served for a time as collector of taxes for Turbot township. He left two children, Magdalena, born Jan. 5, 1872, married Solomon Levan, died 1867; and John Balliet (2d).

John Balliet (2d), born March 14, 1784, mar- ried Elizabeth Schreiber, born Sept. 7, 1782, and died March 25, 1858, of Coplay, daughter of Jacob Schreiber. He spent his life on the farm purchased by his father in Turbot township, Northumberland county (now Limestone town- ship, Montour county, Pa.) He died Feb. I, 1854, and with his wife lies buried not far from the graves of his parents in Paradise Reformed church graveyard mentioned above. To John Balliet and his wife Elizabeth, were born six sons and two daughters: John Balliet (3d), Stephen Balliet, Levi Balliet, William Balliet, Josiah Bal- liet, Jacob Balliet, Nancy Balliet ( Mrs. Abra- ham Stroub), and Mary Balliet (Mrs. Joseph McNinch by first marriage, Mrs. John Klapp by second marriage). All of these children, except Mrs. Stroub, lived to an advanced age.

John Balliet (3d), born May 17, ( ?) 1806, spent his life in the Balliet settlement near Lime- stoneville. He married Catharine Kuhns, born 1810, with whom he had eight children : Charles Edward Balliet, born Feb. 28, 1828, resident (in 1913) in Macdougal, N. Y .; Peter Balliet; Caroline Balliet ; Elizabeth (Mrs. Ellis Freder- ick), of Watsontown, Pa .; John W. Balliet, of Watsontown ; Ellen Balliet ( Mrs. Wm. Dunn), of the same place; Mary Balliet; David A. Balliet, also a resident of Watsontown. Mr. and Mrs. William Dunn celebrated their golden wedding on May 14, 1913.

Stephen Balliet, son of John Balliet, 2d, spent his long life in the same section, occupied in agri- culture. He married Susan Newcomer and to the pair were born nine children: William H. Balliet, late of Hughesville, Pa .; Stephen D. Bal- liet ; Charles A. Balliet; Edmund N. Balliet ; Levi W. Balliet; John F. Balliet; Ambrose E. Balliet, a business man of Williamsport, Pa. ; Susan Elizabeth Balliet; Mrs. Charles A. Wag- ner, of Watsontown, Pa .; and Mary Irene Balliet, (Mrs. John D. Clapp), also of Watson- town. A son of Mrs. Charles A. Wagner, Prof. Carroll Wagner, is a prominent educator in Madison, South Dakota.

Levi Balliet, son of John Balliet (2d), devoted his life, not to agriculture, as did most of his brothers, but to manufacturing and business, spending many years in merchandising at Lime- stoneville, McErensville, and in the latter years of

his life (died 1891) in Milton, where he suffered grievously in the great fire of May 14, 1880. He was married twice, first to Elizabeth Folmer, and second to Matilda Hackenberg. The former union was blessed with four children: John Calvin Bal- liet, long associated with his father in business in Milton, Pa .; Susan F. Balliet (Mrs. Swartz), now resident in Bradford, Pa .; Dr. Lorenzo Dow Balliet, a prominent homeopathic phsician, in ac- tive practice in Atlantic City, N. J., for some years past ; and Mary Balliet, long deceased. Of the latter marriage there were two children: Mary Louisa Balliet, of Kutztown, Pa .; and Emma Jane Balliet, wife of the Rev. W. W. Dea- trick, Sc. D., for the past twenty-three years pro- fessor of higher English in the Keystone State Normal School, Kutztown, Pa.

William Balliet, fourth son of John Balliet, 2d, was the last to pass away of this long-lived family, dying a little more than a year ago at Limestoneville. Throughout his mature life he tilled the ancestral acres and only after his death did the estate of John Balliet ( Ist) pass out of the possession of the Balliet family. His wife was Rebecca Haag. To these two were born eight children: Mary E. Balliet (Mrs. C. E. Royer), lately deceased, of Limestoneville; Sarah Bal- liet; Emma L. Balliet (Mrs. Charles A. Lein- bach), resident in Milton; Alcesta Balliet (Mrs. I. Albert Eschbach), deceased; William Josiah Balliet, a farmer, residing near Milton; Calvin Balliet; Clarence Franklin Balliet, Milton; and Ida Balliet.

Josiah Balliet, fifth son of John Balliet, (2d), removed years ago to Lockport, New York. He Elizabeth Eschbach. Of them were born seven children: Aaron F. Balliet, Sarah Balliet, Eliza- beth Balliet, Josiah Albert Balliet, William Bal- liet, Oliver Balliet, and Melva Balliet. The male members of this branch of the family have de- voted their activities successfully to various forms of business.

Jacob Schreiber Balliet, fifth son of John Bal- liet, (2d), followed agriculture. His wife was Catharine G. Lewars. In this family there were five children: M. Ellen Balliet, of Danville, Pa .; James Lewars Balliet, Williamsport, Pa .; Ambrose Elwood Balliet, a prominent business man in Milton; Edward Franklin Balliet, of Limestoneville ; and Henry M. Balliet.

Nancy Balliet, first daughter of John Balliet, (2d), is long since deceased. She married Abra- ham Stroub. One of her sons, also deceased some years, Clement Stroub, was one of the most prominent men in the business and financial life of Milton. A daughter became the wife of the Rev. W. A. Goodrich, for many years a promi- nent clergyman of the Reformed church in Clear-

spring, Md. She died some years ago. One of her sons, Ambrose W. Goodrich, is at the head of a large hardware business in Reading, Pa. Mr. Ambrose Stroub, son of Nancy Balliet Stroub, is living in Philadelphia. For many years he was a trusted official of the United States Mint in that city.

Mary Balliet, second daughter of John Balliet, (2d), departed this life but a few years since. She was twice married, first to Joseph McNinch, and second to John Clapp. Two of her daugh- ters are living in Milton, Pa., Miss Elizabeth Jane McNinch; and Miss Mabelle Balliet Clapp.

The branch of the Balliet family descended from John Balliet ( Ist), has been holding for some years past, alternately in Milton Park and Watsontown Park, very successful reunions early in the month of August. Of this Balliet Family Reunion Association, Miss Bertha Balliet Wag- ner, of Watsontown, Pa., is the efficient secre- tary, and Rev. Dr. W. W. Deatrick, of Kutz- town, Pa., the historian.

Daniel Balliet was by trade a blacksmith and came from Conyngham Valley, Pa. He married Mary Smith, and their children were: Stephen, John, Daniel, and Paul Balliet.

Paul Balliet, son of Daniel and Mary (Smith) Balliet, was born in February, 1830, in Saucon township, and died January, 1903. He was edu- cated in the public schools and was a great reader, educating himself after leaving school. He re- moved to Bethlehem and learned chair making, cabinet work, and wood-working at the the age of 21 years and learned the undertaking business and engaged in that business.
