ETTINGER FAMILY.
For fully one hundred and fifty years the Et- tinger family has been well known in the busi- ness, the musical, and the educational life of Lehigh county. In a list of early settlers of Weis- enberg township, as given in Hungerford's "His- tory of Lehigh and Carbon Counties," appears the name of Gottlieb Ettinger, hatter, who died about 1794, leaving a widow and six children, the oldest of whom was Jacob.

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
Later we find Jacob Ettinger a prosperous farmer, and also manufacturer of silk and woolen hats, who gave employment to a number of men and taught others the same trade, residing on his hundred-acre homestead in Kistler Valley, now the property of Mrs. Jonathan Wenner. A stone dwelling built by him on this farm is still stand- ing. He was born Sept. 29, 1782, and died Jan. 31, 1829, in his forty-sixth year: He lies buried at the New Jerusalem church, of the Lutheran portion of which he was a member, and for a number of years an efficient officer. He married Philippina Schmidt, a daughter of George Schmidt, who lived in the vicinity of Rothrocks- ville. She was born June 17, 1781, died Nov. 22, 1864, at the ripe age of eighty-three years, five months and five days, and is buried at Lynn- ville.
The children of this union of Jacob Ettinger with Philippina Schmidt were:
Catharine, who married John Kistler and lived near Lenhartsville, Pa.
Polly, who married George Miller, lived in Bachman's Valley, Lynn township, and became the grandmother of Frank D. Bittner, and Dr. Albert J. Bittner, of Allentown, and Dr. Wil- liam A. Seibert, of Easton.
David, who moved to Wadsworth, Ohio, mar- ried Elizabeth Brobst, a sister of Daniel Brobst, with whom he had two children: Charles D., and Maria. Charles D. Ettinger, of Chicago, is the secretary of the Murphy Varnish Company, of which Hon, Franklin Murphy, ex-governor of New Jersey, is the president. The second wife of David Ettinger was Rachel German, who had no children.
Jonas moved to Upper Mt. Bethel township, Northampton county, Pa. Among his children were: Amos, who had the homestead; Alfred, now deceased ; and Jacob.
Jesse also moved to Upper Mt. Bethel town- ship. His children were David, Amos, Catharine, Eliza, Sarah, Emma, and Mary.
Amos married Susan Laudenschlager, a daugh- ter of Henry and Lydia Hamman Laudenschlag- er; moved to Allentown and had four sons: Wil- liam Jacob, born May 20, 1837, died Aug. 14, 1863, married Rebecca Ruhe, had one son, Amos, who died when a boy ; Alfred Henry, born March 5, 1840, for many years musician and organist in the First Presbyterian church and St. John's Re- formed church, of Allentown, still living in Al- lentown; Richard Carlos, born July 30, 1850, died Sept. 28, 1896, married Annie Holben and had no children; and George Taylor, born Nov. 8, 1860, married Emma C., daughter of Gustav A. Aschbach and his wife, Emelie Mayer, with whom he has one son, Amos Aschbach Ettinger, born May 24, 1901.
Lydia married Reuben Hunsicker, who lived in Heidelberg township, and became the grand- mother of the late Harvey L. Keiper, a leading druggist of Allentown.
Jacob married Julia Ann Ebert, in 1845, and was the father of the following children: Sarah married Daniel Snyder and lives at Lynnville ; Eliza married Charles Kistler and lives at New Tripoli; Amelia married David Case and lives in Kansas City, Mo .; Agnes is unmarried and lives at home; Reuben now lives in Elkhorn, Nebraska. William some years ago lost his life at Diehl's furniture warehouse. His widow now lives in Allentown and his son Charles W. Et- tinger is a well known reporter on the staff of the Allentown Morning Call. Clinton J. still lives in the old home.
CLINTON J. ETTINGER.
Jacob Ettinger was born in Kistler's Valley, Aug. 9, 1812. Like his father, Jacob Ettinger, Sr., he also was a hatmaker and a farmer. After having been a hatmaker for about ten years, he spent the greater part of his life on the farm now owned by Henry Bachman and still later, before the Civil War began, he moved to the farm in Bachman's Dale, where his descendants still reside. He served as school director of his district, and at various times was an elder and a deacon in St. Peter's Lutheran church of Lynn- ville. In politics he was a Democrat. In 1845 he married Julia Ann Ebert, who was born May 7, 1825, and lived to a ripe old age. This union was blessed with seven children. Jacob Ettinger died on his farm in Bachman's Dale, Oct. 15, 1894, at the advanced age of ninety-two years, two months and six days.
Of the seven children of Jacob and Julia Ann Ebert Ettinger, Clinton J. Ettinger was the youngest. He was born in 1869 on the farm where the family has lived so many years, edu- cated in the schools of his native district, and still tills the soil of his ancestors. He has also fol- lowed the political traditions of his forebears and has served as Democratic committeeman of his dis- trict. He has also held the office of auditor of his township. In his denominational affiliations Mr. Ettinger is a Lutheran, and in his whole life he has maintained the fine family traditions that have ever stood for industry, integrity and uprightness in the individual and the community.
PROF. GEORGE TAYLOR ETTINGER, PH.D.
The founder of the Allentown branch of the Ettinger family was Major Amos Ettinger, the son of Jacob and Philippina Schmidt Ettinger, born in Lynn township, Lehigh county, March 23, 1817. When still quite a young man he

came to Allentown, where he learned the trade of a coppersmith in the establishment of Solomon Gildner, and later he began the same business for himself at the southeast corner of Hamilton and Eighth streets. Still later he enlarged the scope of his business by buying out his brother-in-law, Nathan Laudenschlager, who was engaged in the stove and tinware trade. For a long time his store was at 738 Hamilton street, until the growth of his business necessitated the purchase of the property at 732 Hamilton street, where he erected one of the largest and most commodious buildings in the city. At that time his store-room was the largest in Allentown. Through the affability and the strict attention to business on the part of its proprietor, the establishment prospered, and for many years the phrase, "Ettinger's Stove Store," was almost a household expression in Lehigh county.
Tall and dignified in appearance, Amos Et- tinger was one of the most genial of men, with an unbounded fund of wit and humor. Almost endless are the witticisms and the practical jokes ascribed to him. In this respect he was a sort of Abraham Lincoln of Lehigh county. He was an excellent musician and for many years the leader of the Allentown band, the first organization of the kind started in Allentown, of which "Henry's History of the Lehigh Valley," published in 1860, says: "Although the greater part of the time is devoted by the citizens of Allentown to their various business pursuits and callings, they still find time for recreation and amusement. The Allentown Band, of which Amos Ettinger is leader, is considered one of the best in the state, and is composed entirely of the business-men of the place." There is still in the possession of the family an excellent oil portrait of the genial face of Amos Ettinger, presented to him by the members of this musical organization. He was especially prominent also in the military life of his time, and held many important positions in connection with the militia of the state. He was captain of a model volunteer company called "The Lehigh Fencibles," and for many years was brigade inspector of "the Second Brigade, Seventh Division, composed of the uniformed militia of the counties of Northampton, Lehigh and Pike." During his lifetime his fellow-citizens honored him with various positions of trust and responsi- bility, and at the time of his death he was presi- dent of the town council.
On Christmas Day, 1836, he married Susan, a daughter of Henry and Lydia Hamman Lauden- schlager, who was born at Macungie (then known as Millerstown), Lehigh county, on Dec. 22, 1818, and died in Allentown, March 12, 1913, having survived her husband more than
forty-seven years. The Laudenschlager family moved to Allentown, and for many years the fa- ther was a carpet weaver, living in a large stone house on Union street, near Seventh. To Amos and Susan Ettinger were born four sons: Wil- liam Jacob, who had been in partnership with his father in the stove and tinware business, and died in 1863; Alfred Henry, who is still living; Richard Carlos, who also later had been in the stove business and still later in the service of the postal department in Allentown, and died in 1896; and George Taylor Ettinger, now dean of Muhlenberg College, Allentown. Amos Et- tinger died Feb. 1, 1866, in the forty-ninth year of his age. In speaking of his death the Lecha County Patriot of Feb. 8, 1866, said: "Through his affable, sociable demeanor the deceased won for himself the affection of all that came into contact with him. He was one of the best loved, most highly esteemed and most benevolent citizens of this town." The Allentown Friedensbote of Feb. 7, 1866, summed up his life and character as follows: "He was an honorable, upright citi- zen, and a host of friends sincerely mourn his early demise. He was a true friend and a good neighbor, and the Spirit saith, 'he resteth from his labors and his works do follow him.'"
George Taylor Ettinger, the youngest son of Amos and Susan Ettinger, was born in Allen- town, Pa., Nov. 8, 1860. He received his ele- mentary training in the excellent private school of Miss S. V. Magruder from 1869 to 1873, and in the fall of 1873 he entered the preparatory department of Muhlenberg College, with which institution he has since that time, been in con- tinuous connection as student and teacher. As a student he has the remarkable record of not having missed a single recitation in seven years. After three years of preparatory work he entered the Freshman class of Muhlenberg College in September, 1876. In 1879 he received the ora- torical prize of twenty-five dollars for the best oration as to matter and manner delivered by a member of the junior class, the subject of his ora- tion being "The Folly of Warfare." He was graduated with first honor and the valedictory June 24, 1880. During his college course he was a member of the Euterpean Literary Society and the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity. Immediately upon graduation in 1880 he began to teach in the preparatory department of Muhlenberg Col- lege as assistant to Rev. A. R. Horne, D.D., from 1880 to 1882, and to Rev. John Kohler, D.D., from 1882 to 1884. From 1884 to 1892 he was principal of the preparatory department in con- nection with Prof. E. S. Dieter, now of the Allen- town high school. During these years the enroll- ment increased from thirteen to seventy-five stu-

dents. Upon the occasion of the quarter-centen- nial celebration of Muhlenberg College in 1892, he was elected Professor of Pedagogy and Asso- ciate Professor of Latin. Several years later the title of the chair (which he has filled ever since) was changed to its present form of the Latin lan- guage and literature and pedagogy. In 1888 he enrolled in the graduate department of New York University, which three years later con- ferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Philoso- phy (Ph.D.) for work done in pedagogy under Dr. Jerome Allen and Dr. Edgar D. Shimer, and in German under Dr. A. S. Isaacs. Upon the death of Professor Davis Garber, Ph.D., Dr. Ettinger became librarian of his alma mater, and upon the death of Professor Matthias H. Rich- ards, D.D., he was chosen secretary of the faculty. For many years he was alumni editor of The Muhlenberg, a member of the editorial commit- tee of the Muhlenberg College Bulletin; corres- ponding secretary and treasurer of the alumni as- sociation and a member of its Board of Managers. He is now president of the alumni association. In 1904 the Board of Trustees elected him dean of the faculty.
For nearly fifteen years Dr. Ettinger was a director of the public schools of Allentown, dur- ing which period he was repeatedly elected presi- dent of the Board of Control, later served as sec- retary of the same body, and was chosen president of the Lehigh County Directors' Association. For nine years he was connected with the Pennsyl- vania Chautauqua at Mt. Gretna, serving in various positions as instructor in Latin and Greek, dean of the faculty and member of the Board of Managers. He has published "Pedagogy, the Fourth Profession," an address delivered before the Lehigh County Teachers' Institute, and "The Relations and Duties of Colleges to Their Pre- paratory Schools," a paper read before the Asso- ciation of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland, at Cornell Uni- versity. In 1904-5, he was associated, as super- vising editor, with John W. Jordan, LL.D., li- brarian of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Edgar M. Green, of Easton, Pa., in the publication of an extensive "Genealogical History of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania," in two hand- somely illustrated volumes brought out by the Lewis Publishing Company of New York and Chicago. He is alo a member of the advisory committee for Jordan's "Biographical Encyclo- pædia of Pennsylvania," now being published by the same house, and literary editor of the Morning Call of Allentown, with a daily circulation of over seventeen thousand copies.
When the daughters of the American Revolu- tion dedicated the tablet commemorating the hid-
ing of the Liberty Bell .in old Zion's Reformed church, Allentown, Hon. Robert E. Wright, who had promised to deliver the principal address, found that it would be impossible to keep his engagement. As a personal favor to the Regent of Liberty Bell Chapter, Dr. Ettinger consented to serve as a substitute and, with but three days for preparation, delivered what the local press was pleased to call "a masterpiece." On Sept. 1, 1904, he delivered the opening address at Muh- lenberg College on "The American College and Its Problems," which was afterwards published by the Board of Trustees. His services as a speaker and lecturer are in frequent demand, his two most popular lectures being "Life's Lottery" and "An Evening With the Dictionary." Dr. Ettinger is a member of the American Philologi- cal Society, the National Geographic Society, the American Historical Association, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Mora- vian Historical Society, the Philadelphia So- ciety for the Promotion of Classical Studies, the Pennsylvania Society of New York, having served many years as chairman for Lehigh county, the National Institute of Social Science and honorary member of the Luther Burbank Society. He is secretary of the Pennsylvania-German Society, secretary of the Contemporary Club of Allen- town, president of the Lehigh County Historical Society (since its organization), president of the Allentown Free Library, and a vice-president of the Allentown Chautauqua. For seventeen years he has been an officer of the Livingston Club, of Allentown, one of the largest and most representative social clubs of the Lehigh Valley. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce of Allentown, and of the John Hay Republican Club, an honorary member of the Rotary Club, of Allentown, a contributing member of the Le- high Saengerbund, and the Allentown Oratorio Society, and a non-resident member of the Phi Gamma Delta Club, of New York City.
Although busily engaged as student and teach- er, he still finds time to share in the larger life of the community and to discharge his duties as a citizen of the same. At various times he served as a delegate to city and county conventions of the Republican party, and he presided over the stormy sessions of the Lehigh county convention in the historical contest for political supremacy in the state of Pennsylvania waged between Governor Daniel H. Hastings and Senator Matthew Stan- ley Quay, with such tact and ability that special mention was made of it in the press of the state. In 1902, Judge Edwin Albright, although a Dem- ocrat, appointed Dr. Ettinger inspector of the Lehigh county prison, and his successor, Judge Frank M. Trexler, re-appointed him during his

entire term of office. Dr. Ettinger has been sec- retary of the prison board for a number of years.
Since his confirmation in 1877 he has been an active member of St. John's English Lutheran congregation of Allentown, and has served at various times as teacher and officer in the Sunday school, as president of the Young People's So- of the vestry. He has frequently been a delegate to conference, Synod, and the general council of the Lutheran Church of North America. On Aug. 17, 1899, he married Emma C., the only daughter of Gustav A. and Emilie F. Aschbach, and a sister of the late Gerhard C. Aschbach, the well known music dealer of Allentown. This union has been blessed with one son, Amos Aschbach Ettinger, born May 24, 1901, and named after his paternal grandfather.
As. Dr. Ettinger was but five years old when his father died, he was raised by his mother, a woman of strong mental and moral character, to whose excellent Christian training he gladly as- cribes whatever measure of usefulness and success he has attained in life. She lived to the uncom- mon age of ninety-four years, four months and twelve days, with a mind active and able to recall and describe scenes, incidents and persons of the days when Allentown was hardly more than a large village. In the words of one of his friends : "Dr. Ettinger possesses a sympathetic nature, combined with that true modesty which causes him to carry his learning as a man carries his watch- to be kept out of sight until some one wishes to know the time. No man has less of the pedant about him. The lark needs no trumpet to herald the fact that it is a sweet singer. His advice and criticism are often sought. The one is always marked with good sense, and the other by the ut- most kindliness, but at the same time combined with justness and fairness. He is keen in his ob- servations and can find 'sermons in stones, books, in running brooks, and good in everything.'"
