Welsh Congregational .- The only Congregational church in Wilkes-Barre is the Welsh Congregational, which was organized in 1869 by a few Congregationalists

who emigrated from Wales. As early as 1850 there was a union Wels hchurch, comprising all denominations and worshiping in the Newtown school-house. The church under consideration first worshiped in the school-house near the Empire shaft. In March, 1872, they removed to their own church building on Hillside street. April Ist, 1872, it was dedicated, Rev. E. B. Evans, D. Daniels and others officiating. The church edifice has since been en- larged and over $8,000 of the debt incurred in its erection and subsequent alterations paid off. The total cost was $10,000.

The first officers of the church were D. T. Jones, S. R. Williams, Morgan Davies and Lewis Anthony, deacons; and Daniel W. Evans, secretary. The first and only pastor to the present time is Rev. T. C. Edwards. Sep- tember ist, 1879, the membership was 175. A large and flourishing Sunday-school is connected with the church. The average attendance is 115. There is a library of 160 volumes. Connected with the Sunday-school is a vigorous band of hope and children's choir, which is un- der such thorough discipline as to be able to render can- tatas and oratorios with a high degree of perfection.

Salem Church of the Evangelical Association .- The re- ligious work now in progress at Wilkes-Barre under the management of the Evangelical Association was begun in 1871 by the labors of Rev. Andrew Ziegenfuss, then stationed at Mauch Chunk, who preached occasionally during that year in private houses, organizing a class of ten members, named as follows: William Hawk, Christian Leigh, Charles Frederic, Flora Stermer, -- Snyder, G. Leymarter, Catharine Leymarter, -- Schleicher, Morris Eisley and Catharine Eisley. In 1872 Wilkes- Barre was made a regular charge and annexed to the Mauch Chunk circuit. In 1873 Wilkes-Barre and Scranton were united as a mission In 1874 Wilkes-Barre became a separate mission.

In 1872 meetings were held in a school-house at South Wilkes-Barre. In 1873 a chapel was built on Grove street, which was dedicated November 30th, and a Sab- bath-school organized in it soon afterward. In 1875 the chapel was burned, and services were held in a rented hall at the corner of Douglass and Hazel streets until the completion of the present church, which was dedicated July 25th, 1875.

The successive pastors since Rev. Andrew Ziegenfuss heve been Revs. D. A. Medler, J. K. Frehr, Anthony Kindt and J. Savitz. The present (1879) membership is 103 and the Sunday-school numbers 124. The value of the church property is $3,500.

Zion's Reformed Church Congregation .- This congre- gation was organized January 12th, 1873. Until the year 1877 it bore the name Evangelical Protestant Church, and stood independent of any synodical connection. During that year it secured for itself a charter, ratified by the unanimous vote of the members, placing it under the jurisdiction of the East Susquehanna Classis of the Re- formed Church in the United States.

Cause for the organization of this congregation was given by difficulties which had arisen in the St. Paul's

HISTORY OF LUZERNE COUNTY.

Evangelical Lutheran Congregation, with which the Protestant Germans of the city had been principally worshiping for a long time. Feeling ran high in 1872, and parties were formed. Efforts at reconciliation failed. As a consequence the pastor, Rev. John Philip Lichten- berg, and many others, organized a new congregation in the basement of the old church and withdrew from the old connection.

Public worship was at first held in Landmesser's Hall, and was well attended. The lot on South Washington street now occupied by the congregation was bought for $4,000 from Messrs. Miner, Wadhams & Maffitt. The building was put under contract, and on Sunday, March 29th, 1873, at 3 P. M., the corner stone was laid. In the autumn following the church was completed and conse- crated. The cost of building and furnishing the edifice was about $8,000.

The successive pastors, with their terms of service, have been as follows: Revs. John Philip Lichtenberg, from January 12th, 1873, to August, 1874; John E. Lang, September, 1874, to December, 1875; Rudolph Kunz, January, 1876, to December, 1877; Franklin Klein Le- van, January, 1878, to the present (1880). Rev. Mr. Levan was called both by this congregation and an English Re- formed mission, which had existed a year past in the city. It was intended to unite the two under the char- ter of the older congregation, and to establish public worship both in the German and the English languages; the former in the morning, the latter in the evening. This has been harmoniously done; and the growth of the congregation in membership and influence has since then been rapid. The membership was 280 in 1879; the Sunday-school numbers 150, and its library several hun- dred volumes.

German Evangelical Lutheran St. Paul's Congregation. -This congregation was organized in the winter of 1845- 46 by Rev. Herman Eggers, who was sent for that purpose as a missionary to the Wyoming valley by the Evangelical Lutheran ministerium of Pennsylvania. The following are the names of some of the earliest members: John Pfeiffer, Jacob Bertels, Jacob Jacoby, John Bergold, Henry Pleifchman, Jacob Mathias, Jacob Jerg, Christoph Hilbert, Conrad Frey, Jacob Karcher, George Gomer, Justus Reinman, Adam Guth, Adam Andrie.

The congregation worshiped for a time in the houses of different members and later, by permission of the county commissioners, in the court-house. At a meeting of the congregation May 24th, 1846, plans and specifica- tions for a house of worship were submitted for approval and a committee were empowered to purchase a suitable building lot, the property of General William S. Ross, situated on Washington street near South; and soon after- ward the purchase was consummated, at a cost of $140, and a church erected, which cost $776 and was conse- crated October 31st, 1846.

The following are the names of the successive pastors

who have served the congregation, with the times of ser- vice of each: Revs. Herman Eggers, 1845-48; A. O. Brickman, 1848-50; A. Lachenmaier, 1851, 1852; Joseph A. Reubelt, 1852; J. Schwalm, 1853, 1854; G. H. Bosse- ler, 1854-58: C. M. Jager, 1858-61; Edward Speidel, 1861, 1862; Christian Oefinger, 1862-68; Karl Schlenker, 1868- 70; J. P. Lichtenberg, 1871, 1872; E. A. Fuenfstueck, 1872-76, and Emanuel Nidecker, 1876 to the present time (1879).

During Rev. Christian Oefinger's administration the church was enlarged and subsequently sold, with the lot, and the present church property at the corner of Main and South streets purchased and improved at an expense of about $3,500. Rev. Mr. Oefinger died September 9th, 1868, and was buried from the Presbyterian church two days later, Revs. Haskarl, Zizelman and Brobst officiat- ing. In 1872 the congregation built a parsonage which, with the lot, cost $5,300. The lamented Mr. Oefinger also established a parochial school, which has enjoyed a continuous and prosperous existence. The Sunday- school was organized about 1863. The membership is now (1879) about 125 and there are 350 volumes in the library.

Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. John .- As far as can be learned no services of the Lutheran church had been held in the English language in Wilkes-Barre pre- vious to the year 1872. In the autumn of that year the president of the Lutheran ministerium of Pennsylvania, Rev. C. W. Schaeffer, D. D., authorized Rev. F. F. Buer- meyer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., to visit Wilkes-Barre and ascertain what possibility there might be of establishing a congregation of English Lutherans. An English ser- vice was held in the church of the German Lutherans of Wilkes-Barre, and at its close persons expressed their willingness to unite in the formation of a mission church, and November 5th, 1872, the first service of the mission was held in the so-called "long room " of Music Hall. In the afternoon of the same day a Sunday-school, con- sisting of 21 scholars and 5 teachers, was opened.

The congregation had been fully organized, and Rev. F. F. Buermeyer, Henry Hirner, Enos Royer, A. Herring, Lewis Brown, W. G. Stout, Henry Fick, John Spare and Martin Frey were appointed its first board of officers; and in the summer of 1873 a lot at the corner of Academy and River streets was purchased, and October roth the corner stone of a house of worship was laid. The plan of the church was drawn by Mr. Gustave Heiner of Philadelphia, and its erection was the handiwork of members of the congregation. August 30th, 1874, the church was formally opened, but was not consecrated, as there was still some debt resting upon it. The president of the ministerium of Pennsylvania, Rev. C. W. Schaef- fer, D. D., of Germantown, and Rev. E. Greenwald, D. D. of Lancaster, Pa., assisted the pastor on that occasion. The lot and building cost $15,000, of which $3,000 yet remain to be paid. The church has 76 communicants. The Sunday-school numbers 150 scholars.

WYOMING VALLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY'S BUILD- INGS.

The history of the Wyoming Valley Manufacturing Company is given on page 216. The buildings of this corporation, an illustration representing which is here given, are located between Hazle avenue and Main street, the North Branch Canal and Lehigh Valley Railroad be- ing near on the north, and the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad on the south, with a switch or branch connect- ing, by which iron, coal and other heavy material are received, a branch passing directly through the machine shop, enabling the loading, by means of cranes, of heavy machinery on transportation cars.

The building in the foreground is a pattern shop, of brick, 75 by 42 feet. Next is the foundry, also of brick, 104 by 54 feet, with leanto of 12 feet. The farthest building shown is the machine shop, a frame structure 165 by 60 feet, with leanto for boilers and engine room. In the rear are the smith shop, 60 by 28 feet, and the boiler shop, 40 by 27 feet, both of which are temporary build- ings and not shown in the engraving.

The tools in the machine shop are of modern design, and capable of turning out work of the best character. The narrow-gauge and mine locomotives and hoisting and mine machinery manufactured by this company are extensively known and widely used.

REICHARD & SON'S STEAM BREWERY

is an ontgrowth of an old brewery at the corner of River and Union streets, built by one Ingham. From him it passed into the hands of John Reichard in 1834. At that time and up to 1851 strong beer, ale and porter were the only articles manufactured. In 1850 the old brewery was torn down, and a new one built immediately in the

REICHARDS BREWER

rear. In 1851 lager beer was first made. It has from that time constantly increased in use, until the manufac- ture of ale, porter, etc., has almost ceased. In 1870 the present brewery was built, on Water street, near the county prison, in order to give such facilities as a modern brewery demanded. It was furnished with all the appli- ances that belong to a first class establishment. In 1874 John Reichard took into the firm George N. Reichard and Heinrich Stauff, under the name of Reichards & Stauff. This firm lasted until the fall of 1878, when Mr. Stauff retired from the firm. The two remaining part- ners have since carried on the business as Reichard & Son. The brewery is supplied with all modern ma- chinery, and patent ice-houses and vaults; uses the Laurel Run water-the purest that can be had-and has a ca- pacity of 25,000 barrels per year. There is a bottling es- tablishment connected with it, where the firm does its own bottling.

HISTORY OF LUZERNE COUNTY.

THE VULCAN IRON WORKS

consist of a machine shop 75 by 150 feet in size, a foundry 80 by 165 feet, a blacksmith and boiler shop 66 by 130 feet, a two-story pattern storehouse 40 by 50 feet, a pattern shop connected with the foundry for the purpose of making their own patterns, 40 by 80 feet, and a brass foundry 24 feet square. These are all brick buildings, constructed in the most substantial manner. They are built within an area of about eight acres of ground, front- ing 400 feet on Main street, and extending back 634 feet to the Pennsylvania Canal. Tracks and sidings run into the works from the L. V. Railroad, with a turntable so that cars can be directed into any department of the establish- ment. The class of work turned out embraces mining machinery of every description, such as coal breakers, pumps, steam engines, etc .; but their great specialty is the manufacture of steam engines, of which they have made the most noted and powerful ones in use in the coal regions.

The Vulcan Iron Works are also making an improved coal breaker, which is in great demand. In this breaker the rolls are solid, and the teeth are cast steel driven into these solid rolls. The teeth are easily replaced at any time, and being tempered wear better than those of an ordinary breaker. Every part is made as strong and durable as possible. The above may be called the regu- lar and staple work of the establishment, which does brass and iron casting of every description promptly to order, and furnishes at the shortest notice machine work of all kinds, large and small, and warrants every piece to give entire satisfaction. The practical part of this compli- cated business is under the immediate charge of the su- perintendent, Mr. E. H. Jones, the son of the original projector and founder of the works. It is to his efficien- cy and thorough knowledge of the business that the com- pany is largely indebted for its continued prosperity. The establishment was kept running during the financial depression known as the panic, while most iron working concerns were idle.

Hunt, began business in 1859 as clerk with Rutter & Reading. In April, 1866, he became junior partner in that house, and in 1869 the firm of Reading & Hunt was formed, and began business at 114 South Main street. April Ist, 1876, this firm was succeeded by Charles P. Hunt, who in 1879-80 put up the building represented in the accom- panying cut. In April, 1880, he associated with him Mr. Elwood H.
