again; and in 1900 he established himself at Rittersville. His marble and granite yards, as well as his fine residence, are located at the corner of Pike and Church streets near the Union Church.

WEISER FAMILY.
For three generations descendants of Conrad Weiser have been prominent in the affairs of Le- high county and the city of Allentown. Martin Weiser, a veteran of the War of 1812, was a lineal descendant of Conrad. Martin was one of the best known men in the county, having been one of the first makers of what are now known as "Grandfather's clocks." Many of the speci- mens of his skill in this line are still to be found in the rural districts of the county. He was noted as a wit and was a master of sarcasm. In the rural districts many of his quaint sayings are still to be heard. One story in particular is oft repeated. When Martin made his periodi- cal trips through the county to repair, clean and sell clocks, it was his custom to remain over night and for meals with his customers. Because of the flashes of wit with which he illumined his conversation the old clockmaker was, as a rule, a welcome guest. But, like the immortal Charles Lamb, he sometimes joked not wisely but too well. Lamb, it will be recalled, was once asked by a doting mother how he liked babies. "Boiled, ma'am," replied Lamb. Lamb said a witty thing but lost the friendship of a mother. Thus it was
with Martin Weiser. He was a guest at dinner in the upper end of the county. The coffee served was lamentably weak. However, the dishes were beautiful. They were artistically decorated in blue. Weiser took a sip of the coffee and setting down the cup said, in his native vernacular : "Ei, mommy, wos hen ier shae g'schar. Mer kon die blummer derfoon im kupichya saena dorrich der koffee." ("Why, mother, what beautiful dishes you have. You can see the flowers on the cup through the coffee.") After that old Martin Weiser never received another invitation to dine with that family.
Martin Weiser was married to Mrs. Mary Ann Shepherd (nee Stout) whose parents were of an old Moravian family and whose paternal grandfather was one of the early surveyor gen- erals of Pennsylvania. Martin Weiser had one son, Nelson Weiser, born Aug. 6, 1823. Nelson early in life became a cigar-maker, but abandoned the trade to engage in business and politics. He was the political lieutenant of Major William Fry and when the latter was elected to the state senate, Mr. Weiser became clerk of the senate, a position he filled for several sessions. He served, as a Democrat, as a member of the State House of Representatives during the sessions of 1863, 1864 and 1865. In 1858 Mr. Weiser entered the newspaper business when he became a part owner of the Republikaner, the German Demo- cratic weekly. In 1866 the firm of Harlacher & Weiser secured control of the Lehigh Valley Daily News, a morning publication which had been launched on the turbulent sea of journalism several months previous by J. Peter Correll, of Easton. Mr. Weiser remained in the newspaper profession until 1874, when he retired from ac- tive life, dying April 20, 1876, after a busy career. Mr. Weiser also served for many years as com- mon councilman from the Fifth ward and was for several terms chairman of that body. He was also one of the organizers of the old Allentown Passenger Railway Company, and drew up the charter for the organization, which Governor Geary declared was the "most sweeping document that was ever granted to a railway corporation." The Governor had summoned Mr. Weiser to Harrisburg and asked him whether the people of Allentown wanted a company with a charter like that. Mr. Weiser informed him that no objection had been made to it and the Governor affixed his signature with the remark: "Why, the Allentown Passenger Railway Company can run its tracks through every street and alley of Allentown if it wishes to do so. It can run locomotives over them."
Mr. Weiser was married to Elemina R. Weiser (nee Massey) whose father, Dr. Joseph Fox
1379
GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL.
Massey, was a native of Massachusetts and whose father and grandfather fought at the battle of Bunker Hill. Mrs. Weiser's maternal grand- father was John Keiper, the pioneer tobacconist of Allentown. She died in December, 1906.
Nelson Weiser had four children: Annie E., who married Captain Thomas B. Leisenring, com- mander of Co. G, Forty-seventh Regiment, Penn- sylvania Volunteers, and she is now the Deputy Factory Inspector for this district; Mary C., who still resides in Allentown; Sarah, who died at an early age; and Charles W., editor of the Allentown Democrat.
CHARLES W. WEISER has been eminently suc- cessful as an editor. He was educated in the public schools of Allentown, the preparatory de- partment of Muhlenberg College, and in a school in New York city, where he was preparing for an examination for a cadetship in the Naval Acad- emy at Annapolis. It had been his father's am- bition to have him enter the navy of the United States, but the untimely death of the elder Mr. Weiser caused an abandonment of the plan. After doing clerical work for some time, young Weiser determined on a newspaper career and entered the office of the Chronicle and News and learned the printing trade. He subsequently worked in Phil- adelphia, but returned to Allentown and took up active newspaper work. In 1894 he and Kirt W. DeBelle secured control of the Morning Critic, a newspaper that had little circulation and less influence. The venture was a dubious one be- cause there was a general impression that a morning newspaper could not be made to pay in Allentown. The paper was conducted under the title of Morning Critic for six months when the new publishers determined upon a change of name and on Jan. 1, 1895, the Morning Call made its bow. Mr. Weiser adopted a vigorous, independent policy and the paper prospered won- derfully under his editorship. Mr. DeBelle re- tired from the firm and David A. Miller became Mr. Weiser's partner. In October, 1904, Mr. Weiser retired from the firm because of ill health. He went to Philadelphia with his family and for six months was confined to the University Hos- pital, during which time he was operated upon fourteen times. After doing general literary work for several years he returned to the editorship of the Morning Call on Jan. 1, 1907, and remained until March 29, 1909, when he was offered the editorship of the Democrat, which had been pur- chased by a syndicate of Democrats with the avowed purpose of having Lehigh county returned to the Democratic column. They figured on doing this with the aid of a fearless Democratic organ. Under the editorial guidance of Mr. Weiser, the Democrat began to prosper, the Re-
IOL. III-39
publican party was completely routed and in 1911 the men who had set out to redeem the county to Democracy had the satisfaction of see- ing every office in the county filled by a Democrat, excepting those held by the opposition party by grace of the law that permits minority represen- tation. Mr. Weiser's untiring work as editor of the Democrat contributed in a great measure to this victory.
As a political writer Mr. Weiser commands attention all over the state. The Democrat is widely quoted and exercises a powerful influence. As a humorist Mr. Weiser has won fame from Maine to Texas, and his pithy paragraphs have done much to advertise the city. The name "Bud" Weiser was conferred upon him by Colonel Geo. W. Bailey, of the Houston (Texas) Post, the premier editorial paragrapher of the country, and it has clung to him ever since. As "Bud" Weiser he is known the country over. Mr. Weiser is also noted as a writer of Pennsylvania German dialect humor and he created the character of Sim Schmalzgsicht, the sage of Leder Eck Poshta. The doings of Sim, his wife Cass, their son Benne- ville, Mose Biffel, their hired man, Em Hoffer- deckel, the love-lorn maid, Yuni Naasblum, Jerry Kivvel, old Jud Schtrumpfoos, have served to drive dull care away for many a moment.
Mr. Weiser is married to Sarah A. Kistler, a descendant of one of the oldest families in the upper end of the county. Her parents were Aaron B. Kistler, now deceased, and Mary Eliza- beth Kern Kistler. Mr. and Mrs. Weiser have three children : Charles Kistler, Helen Ruth, and Nelson Aaron, and reside in a pretty home at Fullerton, Pa.
THOMAS L. WIESER, painter and paper-hanger of Allentown, was born Nov. 26, 1847, in North Whitehall township, Lehigh county. He was educated in the public school at Cedarville and brought up on a farm until 1864, when he en- listed in the Civil War as a private of the 2d Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery and served until Feb. 20, 1866, when he was mustered out at City Point. During his service he was wounded in the right leg. After his discharge he returned home and learned the trade of painter under Amos and James Unger, at Allentown, where he served an apprenticeship of three years. He then followed his trade as a journeyman in Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin, after which he returned to Allentown. He and his brother Henry then conducted a general painting business for a time until 1871, when he embarked in the business for himself and since then has been en- gaged as a house painter and paper-hanger in a successful manner, his place being at No. 119 North Madison street. He is a member of the

R., and con- tinued with him until 1869; then he learned the trade of painter under the firm of Unger Broth- ers at Allentown, and followed it as a journeyman for ten years.
