JOHN P. GORDON.

William Gately Gordan, the great-grand- father of John Percy Gordon, the efficient gen- eral superintendent of the Post & Sheldon Cor- poration, an established enterprise at Slatington for the production of broad silks, was of the no- bility in the north of Scotland, and with his family moved to England, where his son John won fame and fortune in the manufacture of silk goods which secured a wide market in Great Britain and the continent of Europe; and the son was married to Elizabeth Priechard, who were the parents of seven children: William Gately, Alfred, Edward James, Henry Frederick, Wal- ter, and Emma, and one who died in infancy. Of the five sons named, all of them excepting Alfred grew up to emigrate to America, and there become useful citizens.

William Gately Gordon, the eldest son of John, was born March 4, 1852, at Macclesfield, in England, and his preliminary education was obtained at that place. He was then inclined to direct his particular attention to mechanics and he pursued his studies in that branch of knowl- edge by attending the Mechanics' Institute and

the School of Textile Design. With this prepa- ration he entered the employ of his father in his silk mill and continued with him until 1879, when he went to America with a shipload of special machinery for the manufacture of silk materials and established the "William G. Gor- don Silk Mills" at Paterson, in New Jersey, which new industrial enterprise he conducted for five years with great success. He then sold the plant to become the superintendent of the Nas- sau Silk Mills of the place named which em- ployed 300 hands and he filled this responsible position for six years when the Cutter Silk Mills (employing 500 hands) at Newark secured him on account of his great skill and experience as the superintendent of their manufacturing depart- ment and he continued with that large establish- ment for eight years. During this time the pro- prietor, Mr. Cutter, learned to appreciate the character and worth of Mr. Gordon and asso- ciated with him in organizing and establishing the Bath Silk Manufacturing Co. at Bath, Pennsyl- vania, for the manufacture of broad silks and continued there six years and since then has prac- tically lived in retirement.

Mr. Gordon was married on February 22, 1872, to Elizabeth Clarke, a native of Aberdeen, in Scotland, and daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth Maria Clarke, and they had three children: John Percy, Walter (who died in England), and Lillian Elizabeth (who died at Easton, in the 16th year of her age). They were active members of the Church of England.

John Percy Gordon, son of William G., general superintendent of the Post & Sheldon Co., which is a large manufacturer of silk goods at Slatington, was born at Macclesfield, in Eng- land, on September 8, 1873. He accompanied his parents to America when a youth five years old and acquired a general education in the public schools of Newark, N. J., but subsequently at- tended the Philadelphia Textile School for the purpose of securing a special knowledge relating to textile machinery and from this institution he was graduated in 1894. Immediately after his graduation, he was tendered the responsible posi- tion of superintendent of a large silk mill, em- ploying 150 hands, at Easton, which he was en- couraged to accept by reason of his special prepa- ration, and he operated the works for the com- pany four years, when he was selected as the as- sistant manager of the Lehigh Valley Silk Mills at South Bethlehem, employing 400 hands, which position he also filled successfully for four years.

A silk mill was established at Slatington in 1904 by the Post & Sheldon Corporation which organized for the production of silk goods and when it was put in operation Mr. Gordon was

placed in charge as the general superintendent of the plant and he has since filled this position in a most successful manner, and the success and development of the enterprise in that community is mainly attributable to his skilful management. He is a member of Lodge No. 440, F. and A. M., at Slatington; and of the B. P. O. E., No. 130, at Allentown; and also of the Republican party, whose principles he has advocated with great zeal.

In 1903, Mr. Gordon was married to Minnie Breinig, a daughter of George and Josephine (Heim) Breinig.

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

JOSEPH F. GORMAN.

Joseph F. Gorman, one of Allentown's most enterprising and successful business men, a bank- er and financier, was born at Siegersville, in Le- high county, on November 13, 1863. He re- ceived his early education in the local public schools, and in the Allentown High School; and when only fourteen years old began working in a rolling mill at Allentown, and he followed the laborious life of an iron-worker until he be- came of age. He then carried on different hotels at Allentown as proprietor for a period of eight years, but in this time began to direct his atten- tion especially to the real estate business.

Upon ceasing to cater to the public wants as a landlord, Mr. Gorman was first employed for a year by the South Bethlehem Land Company ; then, in 1902, he embarked in the business for himself at Allentown, and since that time, he has been very successful in selling thousands of build- ing lots, thereby stimulating building operations in Allentown, and the surrounding districts and becoming publicly recognized as one of the largest and most enterprising operators in real estate transactions in Pennsylvania. He has commod- ious offices in the Breinig and Bachman Building and employs from ten to fifteen persons to meet the daily demands of his business.

In 1906 he purchased the base-ball park at Rittersville, opposite Central Park, and laid out the land into 300 building lots, which the pub- lic appreciated so highly that they were pur- chased promptly; in 1907 he secured another large tract east of Rittersville State Hospital property, which lay along the north and south sides of the turnpike leading to Bethlehem, and this he laid out into 1,500 building lots which he sold in a short time by the aid of "push" and judicious advertising ; and in 1910 he secured a third tract in the same section, called "Manhat- tan," lying to the south of the Bethlehem turn- pike, which he laid off into 200 lots and he sold all of them in ninety days, evidencing the char- acter of his foresight and energetic spirit.

Enterprising men like him in a community are recognized as the moving spirit in building up a slow-going and slow-growing town, and it is commonly admitted in the flourishing Lehigh Valley that Mr. Gorman has put actual force and meaning in the local slogan: "Dwell here and prosper"- more than any other person in the Splendid Queen City on the Lehigh river. The conspicuous, brilliant, and attractive illuminated electric sign comes up to his idea of letting your light shine for the purpose of inspiring and en- couraging public improvements.

Mr. Gorman identified himself as a young man with the Democratic party and afterward,

for fifteen years, from 1894 to 1909, served as a councilman in both branches of the city government, having officiated as president of select council for one term. He is a mem- ber of the Clover Club, and of different social organizations at Allentown; and since 1890 he has been an active and enthusiastic director of the Allentown Baseball Club, with his interest in this popular sport extending to the state and national clubs.

He was one of the charter members in organ- izing and establishing the Allentown Chamber of Commerce, and since then has been prominently identified with its progressive spirit in the sub- stantial development of the city's local affairs of a monetary and industrial nature, and the en- richment of the community. He has also been connected with local finances for a number of years, being now one of the directors in the suc- cessful management of the McDermott Boiler Works, and of the Lieberman Brewing Com- pany.

On January 26, 1893, Mr. Gorman was mar- ried to Sophia Harkins, daughter of John Har- kins, and they had five children: Christopher (educated in the local schools, who died in 1911 whilst a diligent student in the St. Mary's Sem- inary at Emmettsburg, Md., in the 17th year of his age) ; Joseph, Jr .; Evelyn; Sophia; and Ed- ward.

His father was John Gorman, a native of Ireland, who lived at Siegersville and had charge of iron ore operations in that vicinity.

MICHAEL GOSTY.

John Gosty, a native of Berlin, Germany, came to America in 1871. He located in Schuyl- kill county, Pa. He died at Freeland in 1905, aged 54 years. He was a miner and later conducted a hotel at Freeland. His wife hailed from the same place in the Fatherland. She died at Mahanoy City. Their children were Michael and Walter.

Michael Gosty, councilman and merchant of Allentown, was born in Germany, September 29, 1869. He was educated in the public and par- ochial schools in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania. The latter school was being supervised by Rev. Father Herman Deidrich, rector of St. Fidelis church for more than a quarter of a century. At the age of fourteen years Mr. Gosty began to work in the coal mines. Following this about five years he then learned the butchering trade which he also followed five years. He was about twenty-three years old when he learned the trade of stone mason and for eight years was employed by the P. & R. R. R. on the Shamokin Division. He had charge of the construction of the Main

In 1897 he moved to Allentown and the following year in partnership with his brother Walter he engaged in the grocery business under the name of Gosty Brothers at the corner of Fifth and Linden streets where they have conducted their business since 1898.

He is also a mem- ber of the Young Men's St. Aloysius Society and the Maccabees. He is a Democrat and in November, 1911, was elected a common council- man of the Ninth ward. In 1895 he was mar- ried to Ellen Foose, daughter of Thomas Foose, a prominent citizen of Mahanoy City. They have these children: Walter, deceased; Victoria ; Julia ; Robert, and Joseph, deceased ..
