Meanwhile the fortunes of his father had changed. War had destroyed his possessions and his son, Gerhard, had to leave school to help in the management of "The Three Kings," which the elder Aschbach had leased in Heidelberg. Later he resumed his studies, although he, like his brother Joseph, was obliged to support him- self by teaching in an institution for young ladies. During vacation he was accustomed to make pedestrian trips to all parts of Germany, in one of which he had an encounter with a no- torious robber of those days in the well-known Odenwald. He was of a quiet and peaceable disposition, but, when his honor was assailed or the name of a friend was attacked, he was bold and fearless. His skill in arms and his noble character rendered him particularly popular among the comrades of his student-corps.

When, in 1813, the Germans were summoned to arms to save the Fatherland, he abandoned his studies, was enrolled second lieutenant of the Seventh Battalion of the National Guard, and took part in the campaign of 1814, after which he returned to his books. When, in 1815, the war broke out afresh, he accompanied his regi- ment to Alsace, and was present at the battle of Strassburg. After the peace of Paris, he con- tinued his legal studies, and in 1816 passed the state examinations with distinction.

He began his official life in Emmendingen, where he married the daughter of Dr. Gaup, in 1820. After a stay of two years in this place he was called to Carlsruhe and in 1825 he was ap- pointed Judge and Aulic Councillor in Rastatt, being high in favor with the Grand Duke Lud- wig. This position he held till 1833 when he was transferred to the imperial court at Moers- burg. He was a member of the famous Cham- ber of Deputies, in which he labored in behalf of the constitutional rights of the people by the side of leaders like Rotteck, Welker, Duttlinger, Mittermaier, Hofmann, and Gerbel. After a two years' stay he was transferred to Constanz, and thence to Freiburg. He died suddenly on the 20th of April, 1842, from a stroke of apo- plexy. His imposing funeral attested the high esteem in which he was held by his official col- leagues and his fellow-citizens.

A younger brother of Gerhard Adolph Asch- bach, born at Hoechst, April 29, 1801, educated at Heidelberg, made a Doctor of Philosophy by the University of Marburg at the age of twenty- two, became the famous historian later known to the world as Joseph von Aschbach. A man of great versatility, and the author of many learned works, he was called to the University of Vienna as professor of history in 1853, became a member of the Academy of Sciences, was appointed Aulic

Councillor, received the Order of the Iron Cross, and was raised by the Emperor to the Austrian nobility. In 1881 his students and colleagues celebrated his eightieth birthday by presenting an address and a silver laurel wreath on whose leaves were engraved the titles of his works. He died April 25, 1882. His son, Dr. Emil von Aschbach was a prominent member of the legal profession in Vienna.

Gustavus Adolphus Aschbach, the son of Ger- hard Adolph Aschbach, was born at Rastatt, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, March 3, 1826. His father instilled in his mind the liberal ideas and hopes of a united fatherland, and placed him in the gymnasium at Freiburg. The son early chose jurisprudence for his life work, and upon the death of his father entered the University of Heidelberg. While he was at the University the revolution of 1848 broke out, and Aschbach, with many of his fellow students, threw himself heartily into the movement. The revolution failed, and he, with many others, was obliged to leave the country in order to save his life. He went to Rapperschwyl, Switzerland, where he applied himself to civil engineering, in which he became highly proficient.

In 1850 he came to this country and, after re- siding for a time in New York City, came to Al- lentown, Pennsylvania, in 1854, where his ability as architect and civil engineer soon made him prominent. He was repeatedly elected city en- gineer of Allentown, made excellent maps of the city and county from his own surveys and was largely engaged in the construction of the Al- lentown and Hamburg Railroad, being asso- ciated with George B. Roberts, who later be- came president of the Pennsylvania Railroad. A great part of the perfect arrangement of the streets of Allentown is due to his skill. Among the many buildings that still attest his taste and ability as an architect are the Lehigh county prison, which has received great praise as a model specimen of prison architecture, St. John's English Reformed Church, the Fifth Ward School House, and the residence of Mr. Thomas J. Koch.

During the Civil War he was engaged in con- structing fortifications for the Union Army in Ohio and Kentucky under Generals Simpson and Burnside, and rendered valuable services to his country. As a result of exposure in the per- formance of his duties in the army, he was an invalid for many years, and at last died, in Allen- town, of a complication of diseases, on April 17, 1875.

Mr. Aschbach was a man of high ideals, of noble impulses and of generous nature. No worthy cause ever appealed to him in vain, and

he actively participated in the educational ad- vancement of the community in which he lived.

During his lifetime he was a member of the German Patriotic Association, the Trexlertown Lodge of Free Masons, Allen Lodge of Odd Fellows, the German Association of Lehigh County, the Lehigh Saengerbund, the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Allentown Board of Trade and the Palette Club, of New York.

Mr. Aschbach met his future wife on the voy- age from Havre to New York, which was made in the three master "Robert Kelly," Captain Kennedy, and lasted forty-two days. On April II, 1854, he married Emilie Friederika Mayer, a daughter of Friederich Carl Mayer, and his wife, Christina, who was a daughter of Conrad Moritz, a retired landed proprietor, and his wife, Magdalena Steigelmann. Mrs. Aschbach was born in Bergzabern, in the Rhenish Palatinate, Feb. 14, 1832. Her father was register of land- ed estates, and a son of Rev. John Adam Mayer, a Councillor of the Consistory in Speyer-on-the- Rhine, who had married into a prominent patri- cian family of Frankfort-on-the-Main. Here her youngest brother, Julius Mayer, lived for many years, while her oldest brother, Professor Fred- erick Mayer, was for a long time superintendent of music in the public schools of Dayton, Ohio.

From this marriage of Gustavus Adolphus Aschbach with Emilie Friederika Mayer, were born Gerhard Charles Aschbach, and Emma Charlotte Elizabeth Aschbach, who, on Aug. 17, 1899, was married to Professor George T. Et- tinger, Ph.D., of Muhlenberg College, Allen- town, Pa. Mrs. Aschbach died on Jan. 27, 1911.

GERHARD CHARLES ASCHBACH, the son of Gustavus Adolphus Aschbach, and Emilie Fried- erika Aschbach, and the late head of the Amer- ican branch of the family, was born in Allen- town, Jan. 15, 1855. He received his education in the public schools of Allentown, the Allen- town Military Academy and the Academic De- partment of Muhlenberg College. After learn- ing the trade of cabinet maker in the establish- ment of Heimbach and Helfrich, he entered the organ factory of John Florey, whose busi- ness was later acquired by Ritter, Abbott & Ruhe, trading as the Allentown Organ Company. In 1876 he started in the music business at 810 Hamilton street, Allentown, but shortly after- wards moved into the basement of the Second National Bank Building, 532 Hamilton street, from which he in turn moved across the street into what was then known as the Osmun & Scholl Building. Here he remained for several years, until the Second National Bank vacated its Hamilton street home, when he moved back and occupied the entire building. Here he remained

until 1891, when he purchased the Jonathan Reichard property at 539 Hamilton street, and erected the handsome four-storied building in which he had his permanent business home, un- til his death on Aug. 15, 1913. In all these years the field of his activity had been ever widening, until to-day the G. C. Aschbach Music House is the largest establishment of its kind in eastern Pennsylvania, requiring the constant serv- ices of twenty-two persons, importing extensive- ly from foreign countries and handling all the leading instruments and publications.

For five years Mr. Aschbach was the manager of the old Hagenbuch Opera House, now occu- pied by the extensive grocery store of James K. Bowen. At the same time he managed similar establishments in Bethlehem and Mauch Chunk. To him Allentown owes its first modern theatre, as it was through his efforts that Music Hall, later known as the Academy of Music, was erected on the northeast corner of Sixth and Lin- den streets. During his management of the above-named theatres he presented many of the leading artists (literary, musical, and dramatic) then before the public, of whom may be men- tioned Emma Abbott, Minnie Hauk, the Boston Ideals, Joseph Jefferson, E. L. Davenport, Law- rence Barrett, Joe Emmett, Henry Ward Beech- er, Adelaide Neilson, Aime, Emma Thursby, Robson and Crane, Fanny Davenport, Madame Carreno, Joseffy, Chevalier de Kontski, the origi- nal Swedish Quartette, Camilla Urso, and John T. Raymond.

In 1880 he married Miss Sallie R. Kramer, daughter of Allen and Anna Diefenderfer Kram- er. This union was blessed with six children, of whom two survive: Emilie Mary, now the wife of George H. Meyers, Jr., of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Gerhard Charles Aschbach, Jr., now the manager of the business.

Mr. Aschbach was confirmed in St. John's Eng- lish Lutheran church, Allentown, by Rev. Reu- ben Hill, D.D., and for many years was a mem- ber of the same, until the organization of Christ Lutheran church, in the western part of the city, when he transferred his membership to the new congregation.

He was a member of the Royal Arcanum, the Heptasophs, the Knights of Malta, and the Liv- ingston Club, and a contributing member of the Lehigh Saengerbund, and the Allentown Ora- torio Society.

Upon the death of Mr. Aschbach, the Allen- town Democrat, on Aug. 19, 1913, in an edi- torial said the following:

"The death of Gerhard C. Aschbach marks the passing of one of Allentown's most substan- tial business men. Mr. Aschbach was one of the

city's strong men in the commercial sense. It is frequently stated that the great majority of the city's most successful merchants are men who are not natives of the city. The same is probably true of every community. There are, however, exceptions to all rules and Mr. Aschbach was one of these exceptions. He made good in the place of his nativity. He was successful because he deserved success. He prospered because he was ambitious, energetic, and conscientious.

"For a generation the name of G. C. Asch- bach has been closely associated with the busi- ness life of the city, and it is a name that has always stood for everything that is honest and upright in business. None was more enterpris- ing. It was through the efforts of our departed friend that Allentown secured its first theatre that was a credit to the town. For years Allen- town was without a playhouse that was worthy of the name or in keeping with the city's repu- tation for enterprise. It was G. C. Aschbach who promoted the company that erected Music Hall, at Sixth and Linden streets, where the Democrat Building now stands. In later years Mr. Aschbach devoted all his time to the music house that he established in a small way many years ago and which has become one of the most important of its kind in the state. Only a man who possesses rare business ability could have succeeded as he has done.

"There are few men who had more friends than Mr. Aschbach had. He had mastered the secret of making friends and retaining them and to them his death is a grievous blow. The com- munity has lost a good citizen whose place is hard to fill."

ADOLPH THEODORE ASCHBACH, the esteemed son of the late G. C. Aschbach, preceded his- father in death by just two months and two days. In his death, the career of a promising and able young man was ended too soon.

He died after an operation for peritonitis, Wednesday, June 17, 1913, at the age of thirty- three years. The operation was performed at the Allentown Hospital on Sunday, and death followed three days later. The family, relatives, and many friends of this young man were shocked by the untimely death of one who still had much to live for, and who had given every promise of becoming a successful business man as well as a prominent citizen.

Mr. Aschbach was born in Allentown, Pa., on Oct. 31, 1880. His early education was obtained in the public schools of the city. Later he attended the Muhlenberg Prepar- atory School and Muhlenberg College. After a business course in the Allentown Business Col- lege, he entered the music store of his father. To

fit himself particularly for the piano trade he spent three years in the Blasius Piano Company's factory, at Woodbury, N. J. He there familiar- ized himself with the details of piano manufac- turing, and was soon among the leading piano men of the Lehigh Valley. He was given the supervision of the repair end of his father's busi- ness, and by adopting efficiency methods he soon secured a large patronage.

In 1904 he married Miss Bessie I. Dreifoos, who, with two children, Henry Gerhard, and Emilie Frederica, survive him. The deceased was a member of St. John's Lutheran congrega- tion, as well as of a number of clubs and lodges.

He had a pleasing personality, and was enthu- siastic, faithful, and capable. His untimely death cut short a business career of great promise.

GERHARD C. ASCHBACH, JR., who is the man- ager of the noted G. C. Aschbach Music House, at Allentown, was born in that city in 1885. After his education in the Allentown high school, Muhlenberg College, and the Allentown Busi- ness College, he learned piano building in one of the leading establishments in New York City, where he was employed upwards of two years. He then returned to Allentown and ably assisted his father and elder brother in the conducting of their large and firmly established business, un- til the death of his father and elder brother, when upon his shoulders fell the duties and re- sponsibilities of successfully continuing the man- agement of the G. C. Ashbach Music House, which has existed for nearly forty years.

Mr. Aschbach has membership in the follow- ing lodges and clubs : Jordan Lodge, No. 673, F. & A. M .; B. P. O. E., No. 110; F. O. E., No. 130; the Clover Club; the St. Leger Club, and the Lehigh Country Club.

ERNEST ASHLEY.

Ernest Ashley, florist of Allentown, is a native of England and there he learned his business. He was born in 1869 and at the age of 22 years came to Pennsylvania. He landed at Philadel- phia on a Sunday night at nine o'clock ; and the following Monday morning at nine o'clock had a position at work in a florist store. The em- ployer who hired him thought he was too 'green," nevertheless a few months later he was promoted to the position of assistant decor- ator of his large establishment. After serving this position for four years he went to Buffalo, N. Y., and there he was employed by a large florist, and later he was employed by the largest florist at Jamestown, N. Y.

Upon his return to America the same year, the same house offered him a road position to sell seeds and florist supplies in five states, and he continued in this position until 1902 when he located at Allentown, having leased the A. B. Ellsworth green houses for a term of 10 years. During this time he purchased two acres of land on Pike street, East Allentown, and there built large green-houses. He conducts one of the largest florist establishments in Allentown, at No. 943 Hamilton street. He is a member of the St. James Commandery, No. 68, Knights of Malta, and the Saengerbund of Allentown.

In 1898 he was married to Jennie H. Holmes, daughter of Robert Holmes of England. They are members of the Episcopalian Church in which he served as a vestryman for some years.
