On November 21, 1887, Mr. Pierce was married to Sarah Ann Richards, sister of Joseph Richards, his business associate, and they have four children: Marguerite, Roland, Owen, and George; and his wife having died, he married as his second wife, Annie Jones, of Pullhele, in the county of Caernarvon, Wales. She was a daughter of Richard Jones and there was born to them two children, Mair and Robert J. Be- fore her marriage to him she was a professional nurse in the Bay Hospital at Colwyn, North Wales, having been particularly educated and trained in her professional duties at Owen Col- lege, in Manchester, England, a famous insti- tution which is attached to the Royal Infirm- ary. In her youth she had attended one of the national schools with Lloyd George, the great Chancellor of the Exchequer of Great Britain. Subsequently the Chancellor and Mr. and Mrs. Pierce became intimate friends, and upon the occasion of their marriage at Pullhele he sent them a congratulatory telegram.

four sons, whose descendants distinguished them- selves in the Crusades, after which only one of the family was found, Conrad Bretz, who was a military man under Emperor Rudolph of Haps- burg, and died in 1312, leaving two sons, Eulo- gius and George. From this point the family became divided into two lines. Eulogius was ap- pointed magistrate of Mark Brandenburg by Em- peror Albrecht, and resided at Lubben, where his descendants flourished in 1702 as a noble family, as Joseph and Claus Bretz, were of the principal families in the time of King Frederick I. George took possession of the property on the Rhine, married Anna Von Rheinbeck and left numerous descendants, who were almost totally destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, after which only Daniel Bretz remained, who was a merchant at Coblentz, and had long since discarded the old title of nobility. He died in 1681, and left two sons, Felix and Christof. Descendants of these brothers emigrated to America. Jacob Bretz, with his wife and two sons, Jacob and John, ar- rived at Philadelphia on Sept. 25, 1732, and set- tled in Lancaster county. About 1800, John re- moved to Fairfield county, Ohio, and had twelve children: Jacob, Conrad, John, Martin, Philip, Anthony, Valentine, Henry, Christina, Catha- rine, Margaret, and Barbara. Martin removed to Richland county in 1825. Conrad removed to Wyandotte county in 1834. Anthony and Bar- bara remained in Pennsylvania. Philip settled in Seneca county, Ohio, in 1822, and had nine children : Jacob, John, Philip, Mrs. Susan Wil- liams, Mrs. Elizabeth Springer, Mrs. Catharine Garber, Mrs. Lavinia Beaver, Mrs. Mary Pen- nington, and Mrs. Sarah Wax. Philip, Jr., had children: George, whose children are Winnie, Irving, and Annie M .; Edward, Solomon, and Sarah.

John Pretz, another descendant of the two brothers, Felix and Christof, lived at Windes- heim, near Coblentz, on the Oder, in Prussia, where his son, John Philip Pretz, was born April 16, 1755, who arrived at Philadelphia in 1786, where he remained for a time with an uncle, Jacob Pretz, when he located at Hellertown and there kept a store. In 1789 he removed to Egypt and kept store with Jacob Steckel. On Feb. 19, 1790, he married Maria Margaret Saeger. A few years later he removed to Shartlesville, Berks county, where he remained a few years and then moved to Heidelberg township, where he had a 100-acre farm and kept a store, doing a large business in the lumber regions beyond the moun- tains, as far as Berwick, on the Susquehanna and came to own a mill at Shickshinny Eddy. Having occasion to go to the sessions of the legislature, then meeting at Lancaster, to attend

to the patenting of some land, he was taken sick and died there on March 1, 1802, and was buried at Trinity Lutheran church. His widow subsequently married John Schoenfelder, of Read- ing. She was born Sept. 13, 1768, and died June 9, 1803, and was buried at Trinity Lutheran church, of Reading. Mr. and Mrs. Pretz had six children: Anna Margaret, born March II, 1791, died Jan. 1, 1858, married Joseph Saeger, and had six sons and three daughters; John Philip, born Sept. 25, 1792, died young; John, born Nov. 12, 1794, died young; John Henry, born Aug. 10, 1796, died young; Godfrey, born July 10, 1798, and Christian, born April 29, 1801. Godfrey Pretz was a partner with his brother in the mercantile business from 1822 until his death Nov. 12, 1830. He married Maria Eve Eckert, daughter of William and Susanna (Reber) Eckert. She was born May 21, 1804, and died Dec. 2, 1827. They had one daughter, Maria Louise Pretz, born Nov. 14, 1827, who married Jesse Line.

Christian Pretz, after his mother's death at Reading, was taken by his uncle, Nicholas Saeger, of Whitehall township, by whom he was reared and whose widow spent her last years with Mr. Pretz. He attended the German school at Egypt church for one month and the English school there for several years, after which he spent six months at the Easton Academy, six months at an academy at Morristown, N. J., and several years at a school in Philadelphia, in which latter city he spent about two years as clerk in a wholesale dry goods store on Market above Fourth street. In 1819 he entered the office of White, Hauto and Hazard, pioneer coal operators at Mauch Chunk, and in 1820 re- moved to Allentown and entered the store of David R. King & Co. On June 1, 1822, with his brother, Godfrey, he purchased the store and began business as G. & C. Pretz at the southeast corner of Hamilton and Sixth streets. After the death of his brother in 1830, the business was continued by Pretz, Saeger & Co., then by Pretz, Kern & Co., and subsequently by Pretz, Guth & Co., until he retired in 1859. He also was in the hardware business for a time at the north- west corner of Hamilton and Sixth streets.

Mr. Pretz was instrumental in the erection of two planing mills and a stocking factory in the city, was a director in the Allentown National Bank, and, with Henry Weinsheimer, assisted in the erection of the old Muhlenberg College build- ings at Fourth and Walnut streets. He was in politics, a Whig, later a Republican, and in 1830 was elected to the legislature on the Anti- Masonic ticket. He also served as school director and councilman and was a member and one of
