FRITCH FAMILY.

The progenitor, Johannes Fritch, had settled in Longswamp township, Berks county, Pennsyl- vania. He was born June 14, 1744, in Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, and emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1764. He was married in 1769 to Maria Palsgrove, of Montgomery county. They had five children, viz : John, b. 1771 ; Jacob, b. 1779; John Henry, b. 1781 ; John George, b. 1786; and a daughter, Elizabeth, b. 1772.

John George Fritch, the youngest son, was born Oct. 10, 1786, on the homestead in "Long- a-thal," (Long's Valley), and there he was reared and learned the trade of miller in his father's grist-mill and this vocation he followed for many years. The later years of his life he lived in re- tirement at Kutztown, where he died in 1862. He was married twice ( first ) to Nancy Schwartz, with whom he had six children: Nathan, men- tioned later ; George, m. Dianna Matthias ; John, m. Mary Glassmeyer; Levi, m. Sarah Long; Anna, m.

Bogh, lived for some years in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and died at Macungie in the home of her brother, Dr. Fritch in 1902. Her husband con- tinues to reside in New Mexico.

TRION D. FRITCH, son of Nathan Fritch, was born in Longswamp township, Berks county, Pa., Oct. 9, 1844. He learned the trade of miller with his father and followed it all his life. He operated Fritch's mill in Longswamp township until his removal to Norristown, Pa., where he and his brother, Jonas D., conducted what is now the "Stritzinger Mill," and earlier known as the Hubener Mill. They conducted it for four years. In 1887 he removed to Bethlehem where he formed a partnership with his brother, Dr. D. D., under the name of D. D. Fritch & Company, and they built up a large milling business. Two years later it became Fritch & Egner by the with- drawal of D. D. & N. D. Fritch, and they con- tinued under that name until in 1904, when it was changed to T. D. Fritch & Sons. The firm are the manufacturers of a high grade spring patent flour, "Fritch's Best," "Fancy B. B.," also the famous "Diamond Rye Flour." Their daily capac- ity is two hundred barrels and they operate both day and night. This busy establishment in four years time has been idle but two days, which was occasioned by high water. They employ twenty-two people.

The main mill property was erected in 1886 and an elevator was added in 1892, and in 1908 another addition was built. The mill is four stories high, and 50x120 feet in dimensions. The firm also operates the Lehigh Coal Company, of Bethlehem, for many years. They are the largest coal dealers in the place. Mr. Fritch has been in active business up to 1908. He was one of the organizers and a large stockholder of the Bethlehem Trust Company and served it as a di- rector until his death on June 7, 1914, being suc- ceeded by his son, F. Nathan as a director on the board. He was an active member of the Lu- theran Church and served it in all the various offices.

Trion D. Fritch married Adeline Bortz. Issue : Peter and Charles, both deceased; F. Nathan ; Harry J .; Walter M .; and Ella, who married Rev. V. J. Bauer, of Bethlehem; and five who died in infancy.

HARRY J. FRITCH, son of Trion D., member of the firm of T. D. Fritch & Sons, was born in Longswamp township, Berks county, Pa., Oct. 5, 1883. He was educated in the public schools and graduated in 1900 from the high school of Bethlehem; the Keystone State Normal School, and Muhlenberg College. He traveled exten- sively for three years in the Western and Middle

Western States, and in the spring of 1904 he became associated with his father, under the pres- ent firm name. He holds membership in Beth- lehem Lodge, No. 283, F. & A. M .; Ezra Chap- ter; Bethlehem Council; Caldwell Consistory of Bloomsburg; Rajah Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., of Reading, Pa .; the Alpha Tau Omega Fra- ternity ; and is closely identified with Alpha Roe Chapter of Lehigh University. He is a member of Salem Lutheran church and a trustee since 1908.

He was married Oct. 12, 1908, to Winifred M. Applegate, a daughter of W. M. and Amanda (Seip) Applegate, of Nazareth.

DR. DAVID DRY FRITCH, of Macungie, was born in Longswamp township, Berks county, Feb. 4, 1848, and was reared on the old Fritch home- stead situated near Mertztown. After receiving his preliminary education in the township school and at Reading and Collegeville, he entered the medical department of the University of Pennsyl- vania graduating in 1876. He engaged in the prac- tice of his profession in the village of Longswamp with his brother-in-law, Dr. Peter Wertz, and continued in it for two years, but, preferring a business career, he and his brother Nathan en- gaged in the milling business at Macungie, Pa., which trade had been followed by the three preceding generations, the ancestor having been the first miller in his locality, having erected and operated a mill in Longswamp township in 1764 or 1765. The Fritch mill at Macungie has a daily capacity of 500 barrels, which includes spring, winter and rye flour. Mr. Fritch has the honor of manufacturing the first rye flour by the roller process. Their leading brands of flour are : "Triumph Spring Patent," "XXXX Fancy," "Eagle Star Spring," and "Keystone Rye."" (See description and cut of mill under Macungie borough ).

Besides directing the large and flourishing mer- chant flour mill at Macungie he has been engaged in extensive farming operations since 1899. He purchased a farm of 158 acres, situated partly within the western borders of the borough of Ma- cungie. This land had been run down and was unprofitable, but by applying modern methods and intelligent management he soon realized an in- crease in production of wheat, clover, and pota- toes, and in 1907 his crop of potatoes from forty- one acres amounted to 15,000 bushels. Naturally his remarkable success has given him a natior.al reputation, and numerous letters have been writ- ten to him for advice in matters of agriculture. Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Agricul- ture in 1908, said: "Mr. Fritch, of Macungie, Pennsylvania, is the most competent person in the

country to give advice on potato farming." He also has 1,500 acres of timber land in Hunting- don county, Pa.

Nothwithstanding the great demands on his time in carrying on the milling business and farm- ing operations he was prevailed upon to take part in local government and the development of local enterprises. He officiated as chief burgess of Macungie for four terms; served in the town council for two terms, and assisted in establish- ing the silk mill at Macungie, acting as president of this successful company from the start until the present time.

Upon locating at Macungie in 1878, Dr. Fritch became a member of the Grace Lutheran con- gregation, and he has always manifested a deep interest in the welfare and progress of the church and Sunday school, serving in the council of the church since 1878 and as superintendent of the Sunday school in a most efficient manner since 1888, a continuous period of twenty-six years. His activity in the church led to his prominent identification with the Theological Seminary of the Lutheran Church at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, which he is a director since 1899, and with Muh- lenberg College at Allentown, which he is serving as a trustee since 1900; also as a member of the executive commitee, and of different sub-commit- tees in the successful management of the institu- tion.

Dr. Fritch was married in 1878 to Sarah Weiler, daughter of William and Rebecca (Yer- ger) Weiler, of Longswamp township, and they had three children, viz: Luther W., Minnie I., and Marie. (Minnie I. died when six years old.)

Jonathan Dry, Dr. Fritch's grandfather on the maternal side, was born May 22, 1787, in Rockland township, Berks county, and died Nov. 23, 1872, married Susan Romig, b. Jan. 16, 1788, d. July 26, 1857, and had nine children : George, Moses, Jonathan, Joseph, David, Mary, Han- nah, Elizabeth, and Judith.

LUTHER W. FRITCH, son of Dr. D. D. and Sarah (Weiler) Fritch, was born March 13, 1879. He was educated in the public schools and graduated from Muhlenberg College in the class of 1899. Since that time he has been as- sociated with his father as assistant manager in the milling business. He is prominently identi- fied with the Masonic Fraternity of Lehigh county, and holds membership in the following bodies: Lehigh Lodge, No. 326, F. & A.

Mr. Fritch was the organizer and first presi- dent of the Macungie Fire Company, and was instrumental in securing the fire apparatus for it, and he has also membership in the Liberty Fire Company, at Allentown; and in the Lehigh Val- ley Motor Club.

On Oct. 17, 1901, he married Cora Hagen- buch Clauser, daughter of Alfred and Elizabeth Clauser, of Allentown. They have two children : Sara Elizabeth, and Mary Clauser Fritch.

John G. Fritch, son of John and Miss (Gless- meyer) Fritch, was born in Longswamp town- ship, Berks county, Pa., March 21, 1847. He re- ceived his education in the public schools.

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

FULLER FAMILY.

The ancestry of the family can be traced back in direct line to Robert Fuller, whose eldest child, Edward Fuller, was the founder of the family in America.

Edward Fuller, the eldest son of Robert Ful- ler, was baptized at Revenhall, Norfolk, Eng- land. About the year 1607 or 1608 he fled to Holland with his brother, who was a physician and deacon. The name of Edward Fuller ap- pears as the twenty-first signer of the compact drawn up on board the "Mayflower," previous to_ the landing of her passengers at Plymouth Rock, in November, 1620. He had two chil- dren: Matthew, who died at Barnstable, Mass- achusetts, 1678; and Samuel.

Joseph Fuller, a great-grandson of Samuel, was married Aug. 10, 1752, to Zerviah Hill. He bought land in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, from the Indians, June 19, 1767. Later he emi- grated to Pennsylvania and his will is recorded at Wilkes-Barre. To him and his wife were born nine children: Joshua, born July 11, 1754; Benajah, born June 4, 1756; Lydia, born April 23, 1758; Joseph, born Dec. 19, 1760; Jehiel, born Dec. 15, 1763 ; Abigail, born May 16, 1766; Ruth, born Sept. 3, 1769; Zerviah, born May 24, 1774; and Jeremiah, born Feb. 24, 1776.

Jehiel Fuller, son of Joseph and Zerviah (Hill) Fuller, was born in Sharon, Connecticut, Dec. 15, 1763. In 1769, he accompanied his parents on their removal to Stockbridge, from whence he came to Pennsylvania, settling at a place now called Centermoreland, where he died. He married Hannah Hill, who after his death went with her children to Illinois, dying at El- mira, that state, about six years later. Their children were: Chauncey Day, born June 20, 1799; Arin; Ambrose; Harry; Jehiel; Malinda; and Hannah.

Chauncey D. Fuller, the grandfather of James W. Fuller, during his later years made his home in Lehigh county and for a number of years served as justice of the peace. His death occurred Oct. 5, 1870. His wife Sara (Abbott) Fuller, bore him the following children : James W., Or- lando, Charles D., George W., and Abbott.

James W. Fuller, father of James W. Fuller, 2d, was born at Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, Aug. 22, 1821, and died at Catasauqua, Nov. 22, 1872. He married Clarissa Miller, who was born in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, a daugh- ter of Henry Miller, who was of German de- scent. Their

children were: James W., Orange M., Clarissa C., Abbott F., and Clinton. During the Civil War, he became prominently identified with the political and military affairs

of Pennsylvania, and was so recognized by An- drew G. Curtin, governor of the Commonwealth.

JAMES W. FULLER, 2D.

James W. Fuller, 2d, was born March 16, 1843. He attended the public schools of town and private schools at Weaversville, Norristown and Kingston, Pa. At the age of eighteen he en- listed in the Union Army as a member of Com- pany F, 47th Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry, under the command of Captain Henry S. Harte. He was promoted to sergeant Aug. 30, 1861. On October 30th of the same year he was ele- vated to the rank as adjutant. After a pro- tracted illness which overtook him during the first winter of the Civil War in Virginia, he was honorably discharged from the army and re- turned to his home.

In 1867 he organized the firm of McKee, Ful- ler & Company, proprietors of the Car Wheel & Axle Works. Beginnings of the plant had been made during the year preceding by Charles D. Fuller, an uncle, and William R. Thomas. The capacity of the shop at this time was fifteen car wheels per day. The new firm at once com- menced to enlarge the plant. They bought the defunct concern of Frederick & Company, built a forge and added an axle department. Since then the firm was known as the Lehigh Car, Wheel & Axle Works, and developed an enter- prise of much benefit to the business prosperity of the community.

The town of Fullerton was laid out by Mr. Fuller in 1870, and was named in his honor. So devoted was he to his charge that he made his daily trips to the works, personally superin- tended the mixing of irons for the casting of the wheels, and made the rounds among his men in whose individual welfare he was vitally con- cerned. His advice was sought in many spheres and his opinions were valued. He was president of the Catasauqua Manufacturing Company, a director in the Thomas Iron Company, the Wah- netah Silk Company, and the Ironton Railroad. At the time of his death he was vice-president of the Empire Steel and Iron Company and a direc- tor in the Lehigh Foundry Company. He had a wide acquaintance and large personal influence with prominent men in the Commonwealth. He inherited from his father personal magnetism and an alert mind, grasping a subject almost in- tuitively ; had an excellent knowledge of men and had that peculiar ability in a great degree pos- sessed by men of large affairs, in selecting men for positions of responsibility and trust, and at- tach them to him by strands of steel. From his mother he inherited a wiry constitution, love of
