HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

family, so uncertain was he of his plans ever being carried out. For six years, each year one addi- tion after another was made until it reached its present proportions,-a building two hundred and twenty-five feet long, forty-one feet wide, four sto- ries high and contains over one hundred and forty apartments, with nearly eight acres of ground at- taehed.

In 1860 a large briek building, including gymna- sium, laundry and sleeping apartments was added, the gymnasium being furnished with all theapparatus required for the most thorough practise of gymnastics and calisthenies. The healthfulness, as well as beauty of location, was a subject of constant remark. During the thirty-two years of its existence as a school (with an interim of three years,-from 1874 to 1877,- when, in consequence of ill health, of Dr. Ralston, it was temporarily disbanded) but four deaths occurred among the pupils, of whom there were there from the commencement to its discontinuance at end of school year, June 14, 1881, over three thousand. Its doors, as a school were finally closed by the death of Dr. Ralston, November 10, 1880. Over three hundred of the pupils completed the entire course, receiving diplomas, and more than two hundred the gold medal in addition. The corps of instructors during that time numbered one hundred and ninety. Thirty- three States were represented, as well as Germany, Holland, France, Greece, Peru, Cuba, Scotland and Canada. Many of the former pupils are now occupy- ing responsible and prominent positions as educators, heads of institutions, missionaries and wives of distin- guished men.

The founder of Oakland, Rev. J. Grier Ralston, D.D., LL.D., takes exalted rank among the educators of the State ; and especial honor is due to his mem- ory for his life-long devotion to the cause of liberal education for the women of the country. The Rev. Thomas Murphy, D. D., in delivering an eulogy upon his life and services, December 12, 1880, pays him the following just tribute :

" Who can estimate the value to the community far and near of Oak- land Female Institute, which he founded and conducted mu well for exactly the length of a generation ? Wbo can conceive the number and richness of the blessings which his prayers night and day have brought down upon the young ladies who composed its classes ? When it is stated that more than three thousand of them received their education, in whole or in part, within its walls, the magnitude of this work will be better appreciated. Think of the influence they carried with them as they made their homes in nearly every State in the Union, in Canada and in Mexico ! Think of the number of them who have become influ- ential teachers ! Think of the many of them who, as ministers' wives, are the centres of blessings in many communities ! Think of them as missionaries amongst the Indians, in Hindustan, in Atrica, in Japan, in China, in Mexico and in many a region of our far Western States ! How many streams of influence did he start that will shed abroad floods of light, elevate to a higher standard of learning, spread a purer virtur, disperse comforts where his name was never heard, and incline to Godli- ness where his foot-steps were never seen !"

Freeland Seminary (now Ursinus College) .- This institution, located in the village of Freeland, Upper Providence township, Montgomery Co., near the Perkiomen Railroad, was opened to public patronage on the 7th day of November, 1848. 1t was intended to meet a popular demand for addi- tional educational advantages in a thickly populated district of country, whose thriving people, many of them of German ancestry and still loving the mother-

soon became manifest that their efforts would be fairly rewarded. Among the early teachers was Pro - fessor J. W. Sunderland, who subsequently founded the Pennsylvania Female College in the same neigh- borhood. The seminary was well patronized by the Perkiomen Valley residents, and the intelligent farmers and business men of the county, and many of the members of the learned professions of the present generation, owe to this institution their acknowledg- ments for those early advantages which have enabled them to attain eminence and success in life. For the

ing - Eng

tongue, desired their children to have facilities for acquiring a more liberal education than was afforded them by the common schools of their neighborhood. Prominent among the liberal and progressive in their views upon the subject of education were Abraham Hunsicker and his son, Rev. Henry A. Hunsicker. Prompted solely by a desire to promote the best interests of the youth of the upper districts of the county, these gentlemen, supported by liberal co-laborers, established Freeland Seminary. They called to their aid finely-trained educators, and it

period of twenty-one years-1848 to 1869-it was con- ducted as a seminary for the higher education of young men, during which time the number of stu- dents in attendance was usually between two and three hundred each year.

HENRY A. HUNSICKER is the son of Rev. Abra- ham and Elizabeth Hunsicker, and was born Novem- ber 10, 1825. His father, who was a farmer, afforded his son in youth but the limited advantages of the common-schools, though he later became a pupil of Washington Hall boarding-school, then under the

408

care of Rev. Henry S. Rodenbaugh, and subsequently of the Treemount Seminary, Norristown, then pre- sided over by Rev. Samuel Aaron. These advantages, however, were so well improved by close application to hard study, rigid scholastic discipline and a natu- rally inquiring mind, added to great administrative ability, that he was able, in his twenty-second year, with the assistance of his father and friends, to ereet buildings and open Freeland Seminary for the edu- eation of young men. This school, for a period from 1847 to 1865 under his management, became very prosperous, atter which it was leased for the term of five years to Professor Fetterolf, now the president of Girard College, Philadelphia, and afterwards sold to Dr. J. H. A. Bomberger, of Philadelphia, who obtained a charter and opened Ursinus College. During this time about two thousand three hundred pupils were under his instruction. As a Principal Mr. Hunsicker was rigid, yet mild, his kindly man- agement enabling his pupils to bear with them most agreeable memories of their school-days. Rev. Abraham Hunsieker was a bishop and prominent leader of the Reformed Mennonite Church. His son at the age of twenty-three united with this church, and was with his father and others in organizing the present Trinity Church of Freeland in 1851, where for some years he assisted in ministerial labors. This church was the result of a schism which occurred in the Mennonite denomination growing out of the distrust of the latter body in the training of the young and an earnest opposition to secret societies.

Mr. Hunsieker was, in 1849, married to Mary S. Weinberger, whose children are Clement W., Joseph H., Abraham Lincoln, Flora G. and Howard Alvin, of whom Abraham L. met with an accident which proved fatal. Mrs. Hunsicker died May 7, 1874, and he was again married May 11, 1876, to Annie C. Gotwals, whose children are Mary and Edna Elizabeth.

Mr. Hunsicker has held strong anti-slavery and temperance views for many years, acting first with the Free-Soilers and later with the Prohi- bitionists. He supported Hale in 1852, Fremont in 1856, Lincoln in 1860 and 1864 and Grant in 1868, sinee which time he has uniformly voted the Prohibition ticket. He has, however, little taste for politics and never sought office, though nominated by his friends for Congress in 1874, and previously for the State Senate and the Constitutional Convention. Although chosen by his Christian brethren a minister, and ordained as such, he never regarded himself a settled or stated clergyman and never received any pecuniary compensation for such service. After closing a round of duty for twenty years as an instructor of youth, he embarked in the lumber business in Philadelphia, in which he is still interested as the head of the firm of Henry A. Hun- sicker & Sons. Mr. Hunsicker, being of a kindly and generous nature, has ever been willing to assist in carrying forward schemes of publie improvement or

moral and religious reform. Accordingly, his attain- ments in life are measured by what he has accom- plished for others rather than for himself. He has more recently been employed in several valuable agencies of a public nature, especially in assisting emigrants from the East to secure good localities for settlement in Kansas and other Western States.

Ursinus College was chartered by the Legislature of Pennsylvania 1869. In securing the franchise and presenting its advantages to the publie, its founders say: " In a partial respect, this institution is a con- tinuation, under an enlarged and more comprehensive form, of Freeland Seminary, a school established more than twenty years ago and favorably known as the Alma Mater of upwards of two thousand young men, educated within its walls. It owes its estab- lishment to the lively interest felt by its founders in the advancement of education in the higher branches of learning upon the basis of Christianity, and with chief regard to religious ends." Ruled by this desire, they chose as the specific designation of their new institution the name of one of the most distin- guished reformers and scholars of the sixteenthi century. Ursinus, the renowned theologian of the Palatinate, Germany, under Frederick IL., surnamed The Pions, and principal author of the Heidelberg catechism and many masterly works in defiance of Apostolic Catholicism, will ever be held in honored remembrance as a most worthy representative of eminent learning consecrated to the service of pure Christianity. "In its general system of education Ursinus College will endeavor to meet the wants of the age by adopting a wise and healthy medium be- tween the abstract ideal and materialistic utilitarian theories."

HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

their spiritual welfare. This is done in no sectarian spirit, but in full accordance with an enlarged charity which recognizes the claims of all branches of the Evangelical Protestant Church. The scholastic du- ties of each day are opeued with suitable devotions, which every student is required to attend. The students are also required to attend worship on the Lord's day, either in the chapel of the college or in some adjacent church.
