OSCAR PENROSE KNAUSS, a well known citi- zen of Macungie, was born at Emaus, Sept. 4, 1859, and in 1863 was taken to Macungie by his parents, where he acquired his education in the public schools. He has, however, broadened his knowledge by his identification with a calling tending to that effect. In early life he became reporter for various daily newspapers and became very acceptable in that line of activity. He

learned the printing trade and has followed that so far all his life. He purchased the plant from his preceptor and in 1888 founded the Macungie Progress, a weekly paper which he edited and published for twenty-three years. His business engagements in this connection are more exten- sively noted under the chapter devoted to indus- tries of Macungie borough, in this history.

G. E., the Macungie Beneficial Association, Friendly Lodge, No. 85, and Macungie Encampment, I. O. O. F., the Macungie Fire Company and others, in all of which- he has held offices of trust and honor. He is now registrar of Vital Statistics of Lower Macungie township and Ma- cungie borough. In national politics he votes for good Republicans that he may know of and in local affairs he supports the men, regardless of party affiliation, whom he believes are best qualified.

In 1880, Mr. Knauss was married to Sarah L., daughter of Christian and Sarah (Kidd) Kemmerer, of Hanover township, this county. They had one son, Eugene, who died when eight years old.

At a suitable age he learned the painting and paper hanging trade, following it for eleven years at Macungie. For four years of this time, he had associated with him as a partner, Victor Moyer, under the firm name of Knauss and Moyer. At the age of twenty-two years, he learned the trade of ma- chinist and was employed at the Macungie fur- nace for a time, and later worked for the Ebbecke Hardware Company, for William Douglass and also for George Knauss, all of Allentown. He was employed for one year by the Composite Medal Company at Catasauqua. Afterward, Mr. Knauss had charge of the construction of the Griesemer Fiber Works, at Allentown, which continued for a period of one year and afforded employment to twenty men.

HOWARD A. KNAUSS, son of George F. Knauss, was born at East Macungie, Lehigh county, October 14, 1876. His education was obtained in the public schools in the neighbrohood of his home, which was limited, owing to the fact that he began work in early boyhood, being employed by farmers and in the iron ore mines, receiving thirty cents per day for a period of two years. Later at the age of thirteen, he accepted a clerkship in a store at East Macungie, after which he worked in the Macungie Furnace, then was engaged in office work, and subse- quently learned telegraphy and chemistry, and was employed in the laboratory of the Crane Iron Works at Catasauqua, Pennsylvania, be- coming chief chemist, continuing there for eight years. He was then appointed assistant superin- tendent and later superintendent of the same concern, holding this position for eight years. Afterwards he became superintendent of the Northern Iron Company's furnaces at Standish, Clinton county, New York, remaining seven months, and at the expiration of this period he became connected with the Empire Steel and Iron Company, of Reading, Pa. In 1909, he was appointed superintendent of the Reading Iron Company's furnace, which position he serves up to the present time. The concern employs 75 men.

In January, 1896, he was married to Addie S. Gery, daughter of Nathan S. and Elenora (Bastian) Gery. Unto them are born the fol- lowing children: Howard L .; and Eleanor A.

He was ed- ucated in the East Macungie public schools, and in July, 1898, he began learning the profession of chemistry in the laboratory of the Crane Iron Works at Catasauqua. After he had served about one year he accepted the position of chief chemist with the Allentown Rolling Mills, a po- sition he served with marked ability when a mere lad of fifteen years, but after he had filled the lat- ter position about three months, Leonard Peckitt, the president of the Crane Iron Works asked him to accept a similar position with his company in its laboratory at an advanced salary. He accept- ed the appointment and filled it satisfactorily, until he was promoted to the superintendency of the Macungie furnace, which also belongs to the Empire Steel and Iron Co. In September, 1911, the same company sent him to start up their fur- nace at Topton, Pa., and he continued there un- til December, of that year, when he was pro- moted to his present position, owing to the death of H. R. Hall, at Catasauqua. He has under his charge from 250 to 350 men. He is a mem- ber of the Macungie Lodge, No. 85, I. O. O. F.
