(II) Abraham Merckel, son of Ludwig, the pioneer, was born about the year 1766. The Pennsylvania Archives, from 1785 to 1805, re- cord him among the taxables of Macungie town- ship, Lehigh county. In 1806, the name of Ab- raham Merckel appears among the assessed resi- dents of Albany township, in Berks county. In the latter locality, Jacob Donat, his father-in- law, had previously settled. Merckel owned a farm there at what is now known as "Donat's Hill," near Wannamaker's, Pa., the farm is now owned by Jacob Schroeder. The elevation for many years was known as "Merckel's Hill." Abraham Merckel was a most industrious man. He stood six feet four inches in height, and was possessed of great physical strength and endur- ance. He was a wheelright by trade and also conducted his farm.

He met a tragic end. During the summer of 1826 there was a drought in the upper end of Berks county. Water had become scarce on the southern side of the Blue mountains, while on the opposite side there was an abundance of rain and water. Therefore Abraham Merckel took his grain to a mill on the opposite side of the mountain, and on the return trip fell into the hands of a band of roughs, one of whom cruelly murdered him. On the slope of the mountain in West Penn township, Schuylkill county (on the road from Jacksonville to Tamaqua), which he had to pass, there was an old hostelry around which many stories of robbery, and even the murder of peddlers and cattle dealers centered. It was abandoned over thirty years ago, and only crumbling walls and an old well half filled with stones and rubbish mark the site of the once busy and widely known stopping place. While pass- ing the hotel Mr. Merckel was requested to stop off, which he did. He found a number of men playing cards and also, undoubtedly, drinking. One of the card players, a man named Jacob Hawkenstein, commenced quarreling with Mr. Merckel, who told Hawkenstein it would be to his benefit to keep his peace. Hawkenstein, in confab, with other men during that day, had made a threat that he would kill someone before the day was over. When Mr. Merckel was loosening his horse, which was tied to a tree near a fence, he was fatally stabbed with a knife by Hawkenstein, who had secreted himself behind the fence, and died of his wounds. Hawkenstein

thereafter led a secluded and miserable existence among the rocks, dens and hollow trees of the Blue mountains, where he died alone and despised of all men. His skeleton was found more than a year after his death by a band of hunters. Mr. Merckel is buried at the New Bethel church in Albany township. He died in the late summer of 1826.

Abraham Merckel married Susanna Donat,. who was born Nov. 6, 1779, died Jan. 25, 1864, aged eighty-four years, two months, nineteen days. Her father was Jacob Donat. ( [See Donat Family.] Four children were born to them, namely: Abraham; Elizabeth, born March 24,. 1813, died unmarried, March 15, 1894, aged eighty years, eleven months, twenty-one days, and is buried at New Jerusalem church ; Catharine,. born Jan. 3, 1816, died unmarried, Nov. 20, 1879, aged sixty-three years, ten months, seven- teen days, and is buried at New Jerusalem church; Joseph, who spelled his name Markley, married Esther Fisher, and lived in Reading until 1876, when he moved to St. Cloud, Minn.

Elizabeth Merkel, daughter of the late Abra- ham Merckel, of Albany township, Berks county, petitioned the court as a minor above fourteen years of age, asking that John Shollenberger be appointed her guardian. Henry Ruppert appear- ed as the friend of Catharine and Joseph Merkel, minor children of Abraham Merckel, deceased. William Sweyer was appointed guardian for Catharine, and John Shollenberger for Joseph ..

(III) Abraham Merkel, eldest son of Abra- ham, was born in 1805 or 1806, and died in June, 1849, aged about forty-three years. His. death occurred in the hay field, from the effects of drinking too much cold spring water when overheated. He is buried at New Bethel church, in Albany township. He was a tall man over six feet, and was strong and an excellent worker.

Abraham Merkel married Maria (Polly) Kroninger, who was born Sept. 8, 1808, died Dec. 23, 1878, aged seventy years, three months fifteen days.

C., also on the postoffice building at Annapolis, Md., the superb Widener building at Philadelphia (now public library at Broad and Girard), and State Library at Harrisburg. He was engaged at high-class work of this character in different parts of the country until 1904, when he located at Allentown, and here his workman- ship is displayed in numerous public and private buildings, such as the Allentown National Bank, First Presbyterian church, Allentown Trust Com- pany building, St. John's Lutheran church, Le- high Valley Trust Company building, Public Li- brary, Church of the Sacred Heart, and the Hess, Bonneville and Taylor residences.

He had previously learned the trade of stone-cutter and also gardening, which qualified him to take charge of an extensive property here.

He then purchased a truck- farm near York, Pa., which he carried on until his death in 1907. He was married to Ernestine Richter while in Germany and she accompanied him to America.
