BIOGRAPHICAL


merly been employed. He became proprietor of that business in 1896, and for four years he conducted it very successfully. In 1900 he purchased the Arcade Hotel from the Steinmiller estate, and from that year he has been its popular and successful proprietor. He has other important business interests in Bethlehem; is second vice-president of the People's Trust Com- pany ; member of the Chamber of Commerce; director of the War Chest fund ; and is one of the leading men of his nationality in his city, public-spirited and very progressive, always ready to aid in any movement for Bethlehem's advancement. He is president of the Bethlehem branch of the Czecho-Slavic League, a purely patriotic order, organized for the purpose of raising money to help prosecute the war and to encourage enlistments in the army.


Mr. Tachovsky married, February 2, 1896, Irene Gosztpnyi, sister of John Gosztpnyi, deceased, a prominent banker of South Bethlehem. They are the parents of three children: John Phillip, born in 1898, who, while in his junior year at Lehigh University, enlisted in the United States Army in the Ambulance Corps as a volunteer, and was with the American Expedi- tionary Forces in France, and is now (1919) a student in mechanical engineer- ing at the Edinburgh University, Scotland; Harry Ferdinand, a graduate of Mercersburg Academy, and a member of the class of 1925, medical depart- ment, University of Pennsylvania; Irene Victoria, attending the Moravian Young Ladies' Seminary.


AUGUSTUS H. LEIBERT 1868- 1918 Presented to Augustus H. Leibert, in commemoration of his fifty years of active service in the Moravian Trombone Choir.


This is the inscription on a beautiful loving cup presented to Mr. Leibert by the members of the choir (and that means all) on the fiftieth anniversary. of his becoming a member. The fifty years which the cup certifies he has been connected with the choir, and he was twenty when he joined, have not impaired his musical powers nor caused his touch to falter. This beautiful tribute from his friends was deeply appreciated by the veteran musician, who has given fifty years of his seventy to the service of this famous organiza- tion, of which Bethlehem is justly proud, "The Moravian Trombone Choir." He is a descendant of Michael Leibert, who came from Germany and settled in Germantown (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania. He died a young man, but his widow, Barbara, married a second husband, a Moravian, and after his death, settled in Bethlehem, in 1768. Martin Leibert, son of Michael and Barbara Leibert, was born in Germantown, and settled in Emaus, Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, there making spinning wheels. The Leiberts multi- plied and grew numerous, Leibert's Creek and Leibert's Gap, in Milford township, Lehigh county, testifying to the importance of the family. At Leibert's Gap, both Henry, the grandfather, and William, the father, were born, and lived until the latter removed to Bethlehem in 1838. He married Cornelia Matilda Krause, of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Her great-grandfather, Henry Krause, conducted the first butcher shop in Bethlehem, and his sons and grandsons all followed the same business, this continuing for six genera- tions of Krauses in that same business.


Augustus H. Leibert, son of William and Cornelia M. (Krause) Leibert, was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, March II, 1848. He obtained his edu- cation in the Moravian Parochial School, and after finishing his studies he became a clerk in the old-established general store, A. Wolle & Company. He continued with that firm for six years, then for five years was in the employ of the Moravian Book Store. He then started a book and stationery store under his own name, and also maintained a circulating library in con-

nection therewith. He continued in private business until 1883, when he sold out and accepted a position as librarian of Lehigh University, remaining one year. He then, by special request, returned to the Moravian Book Store, continuing there until 1894. In that year he again opened a private book store, which he conducted until 1901. For two years, 1901-03, he worked with Professor Edward H. Williams, who was preparing a genealogy of the Wil- liams family, but in 1903 Professor Williams resigned his position with Lehigh University, and moved to Andover, Massachusetts, Mr. Leibert than abandon- ing the work. He has since been employed in clerical work by the Bethlehem Steel Company. At the present time he is with the South Bethlehem National Bank.


A natural musician, Mr. Leibert had some of the advantages of capable instruction in the beginning, but even thus handicapped, his ability was soon discovered and he was inducted into the Moravian Church Choir, and in 1868 became a member of the Trombone Choir, of which he is yet a member at the age of seventy-one years. He has always been active in Moravian church work, and is particularly well informed on the history of the church. Since 1870 he has been a member of the Moravian Historical Society, and he is the author of a published work on Moravian history dealing with historical and statistical matter relating to the Widows' Society of Bethlehem, from 1770 to 1915. He is secretary and does all statistical work for the Widows' Society of the Moravian church, he having held that office since 1886. He has been secretary of the Home Mission Society since 1882. He was a member of the Philharmonic Society of Bethlehem until it passed out of existence, after a life of thirty-three years, 1850-83. Mr. Leibert's library is one of his most cherished possessions, and there the lover of old books and prints may revel. Some of his books date back to 1742, and some old prints to 1784. He is very active and energetic, does not give any indication of the years he carries and thoroughly enjoys work, and says it "Keeps him young."


Mr. Leibert married (first) September 16, 1875, at Bethlehem, Aravesta E. Blank, who died in 1883, leaving one daughter, Ella. He married (second) in 1888, Annie E. Witter, of New York City. She died in 1916, leaving two daughters : Florence A. and Elizabeth E. The family home is No. 331 Goepp street, Bethlehem.


VASILIOS LASKARIS-With a good education and eighteen months experience as a dry-goods clerk, Vasilios Laskaris left his native Sparta, Greece, at the age of eighteen years. He journeyed from Sparta to Athens, thence to Pireus, where he took passage for the United States, going to Italy by sailing vessel, there embarking on a steamship for New York, arriving February 13, 1903. He located in Easton, Pennsylvania, in June, 1916, and is now proprietor of the "Easton Sweet Shop" at the northeast corner of Center square. He is a son of William Laskaris, a well-to-do owner of olive groves in Sparta, Greece, who died some months before his only son, Vasilios, was born, his first child and only daughter being now the widow of Nicholas Conides, who resides in Greece with an only daughter, Eugenie. Mrs. Melea (Mutulos) Laskaris, mother of Vasilios Laskaris, and widow of William Laskaris, still resides in Greece at the old homestead.


Vasilios Laskaris was born in Sparta, Greece, June 14, 1884, and there passed through the grades corresponding to high school in this country, and then spent one year at a college in Githion, Sparta. At the age of sixteen he left college, although it was his mother's desire that he finish his college course, but he had ambitions to begin a business: career, and prevailing in his wishes he found employment with the dry-goods firm, Papageozgiou, Malukos & Co., dry-goods merchants. He remained with that firm eighteen months, then came to the United States, arriving February 13, 1913, in New

York, where he remained a short time with relations. From New York he went to Baltimore, Maryland, there remaining eight months, employed as a clerk in a confectionery store. After a short stay in New York, after leaving Baltimore, he went to Providence, Rhode Island, where he was again employed in a confectionery store for eight months, then again returned to New York. There he remained eight years in the employ of the Boston Candy Company, on Sixth avenue. At the expiration of that period he located in Scranton, Pennsylvania, there remaining two years, employed in a candy store. He next moved to Easton, Pennsylvania, in June, 1916, and with John F. Davis as a partner bought the business of E. Alex & Company, No. 405 North- ampton street, and there for one year engaged in the manufacture and retail sale of confectionery. They then sold the business back to Mr. Alex, and separated. It was Mr. Laskaris' intention to again engage in business, but not until a good location could be secured in Easton. This chance came to him later through the good offices of Thomas Hay, and the store at the north- east corner of Center square was secured. He formed a partnership with his cousin, J. G. Mechalakos, and they opened the "Easton Sweet Shop," which they are successfully conducting. Mr. Laskaris is a member of the Greek Orthodox church, and has taken out his first naturalization papers.


MICHAEL A. PILLA-The Pilla family is of old Spanish origin, set- tling in Italy in the thirteenth century. The members of the family were distinguished among their fellows, leaders in military, legal, religious, literary and educational affairs, and a member of this family, Leopoldo Pilla, in 1844 fought on the battleground at Curtatone against the Austrians. The family have a coat-of-arms.


Vincent Pilla, father of Michael A. Pilla, a native of Italy, came to Easton, Pennsylvania, in 1896, and there now resides, a merchant tailor in Easton for many years. He married Josephine Spetrino, their children being as follows : Michael A., of whom further; Louis, a designer, of New York City ; Emily, wife of Alphonso Grimaldi, of Easton; Angelina, wife of Oratio Santopuoli; Harry, who enlisted as a soldier in the United States Army, was in officers' training camp at Camp Lee; Leonard, who enlisted as a soldier in the United States Army, in the Aviation Corps, stationed at Dayton, Ohio; Ida, residing with her parents.


Michael A. Pilla was born in Riccia, a town of Italy, thirteen miles from Campobasso, October 22, 1875, and there passed the first twelve years of his life. On coming to the United States in 1887, he lived for a short time in New York City, then moved to Long Branch, Monmouth county, New Jersey, where he attended school. At the age of eighteen years he returned to Italy, and was held for service in the Italian Army, serving three years, attaining the rank of sergeant. During that period he was engaged in active service in North Africa, and was wounded in the left arm. He came again to the United States in 1899, and for a year was employed by B. Altman & Company in New York City. In 1900 he joined his parents in Easton, and entered the employ of Judge William McKeen, taking charge of the tailoring department of his business. He continued in that position until 1904, then established in business for himself, and has built up a good business as an exclusive ladies' tailor. He is a member of the Easton Board of Trade, president of the Garibaldi Society, and one of its founders, and member of St. Anthony Di Padua Roman Catholic Church. He takes his recreations with his gun and car, being fond of both hunting and motoring. He is a Democrat in politics, and takes an active part in political affairs.

WILLIAM VINE-For many generations the ancestors of William Vine, of Easton, were inhabitants of Greece in Europe, and there many of the name yet remain. William Vine, too, was born in that land famed for its heroes, philosophers and sages, his birthplace, Corinth, the date, March, 1884. There he remained until sixteen years of age, obtaining a good education in State schools. In the year 1900 he came to the United States, landing in New York, but a few days later went to Nashua, New Hampshire, there finding employment in one of the many shoe factories of that city. Eighteen months were spent in Nashua in profitable employment and in acquiring the English tongue and American ways. Then the high wages paid attracted him to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but less than a year was spent there, his employment being in a steel mill of the Pittsburgh district. He came to Easton, Pennsylvania, in 1903, his first employment here being in a silk mill, where he became an expert in silk weaving and remained several years. The high wages earned in all these occupations were carefully conserved, and in 1916 were drawn upon to finance a grocery business which he established at the corner of Second and Ferry streets, Easton, Pennsylvania. He fitted his store in modern style, installed up-to-date equipment and method of merchandising, and here is building up a good trade. He is a member of the Greek Orthodox church, and is highly regarded by his countrymen of the city and by all with whom he comes in contact. He is unmarried.


The parents of William Vine, of Easton, Thomas and Georgia (Orgyrop- ovlo) Vine, were inhabitants of the city of Corinth, Greece, the father now deceased, the mother yet residing there. Thomas Vine was a carpenter and skilled wood worker. There were five children in the family: Nikolas, Constantine, William, Theophilus and James.


CLAUDE H. KIEFER-Four months after the birth of their son Claude H., his parents, Telghman and Margaret (Stone) Kiefer, moved to Easton, Pennsylvania, and there yet reside, the father employed as head packer in the chemical works, the son superintendent of one of the knitting mills of the Chipman Mills Company.


Claude H. Kiefer is a grandson of William Kiefer, who was a farmer of Raubsville, Pennsylvania, both he and his wife long gone to their reward. Their son, Telghman Kiefer, was born at Raubsville, June 12, 1854, and there attended school and worked on the home farm until reaching manhood. He was a painter by trade, and after his marriage located at Carpentersville, New Jersey, where he resided until the summer of 1888, when he moved to Easton, Pennsylvania, which has since been his home. In 1901 he retired from painting, and has been continuously in the employ of the Easton Chemical Works as head packer. He is a member of the Presbyterian church, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and in politics is a Republican. He married Margaret Stone, born May 8, 1864, daughter of Henry Stone, an Englishman, and his wife, Margaret (Sailor) Stone, of Swedish descent. Mr. and Mrs. Kiefer are the parents of twin sons: Claude H., of further mention ; and Flaude W., who married Haidie Person, and resides in Easton.


Claude H. Kiefer was born in Carpentersville, Warren county, New Jersey, five miles south of Phillipsburg, March 26, 1888. A few months later his parents moved to Easton, Pennsylvania, and there he was educated in the public schools and Lerch's Academy, continuing a student at the last- named institution for one year. After leaving school he entered the employ of the Chipman Mills, beginning in the knitting department and going through several other departments until his knowledge embraced the various details of hosiery manufacture. In 1910 he was appointed foreman in one

of the West Easton mills of the company, and later was advanced to the position of assistant superintendent, under J. C. Kane, general superintend- ent of the company. Later, when the company completed a mill at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Mr. Kiefer was sent there to put it in operation and manage it. This he did until April 1, 1916, when he was made superintendent of one of the West Easton mills, the position he is now ably filling. He is thoroughly capable, and highly regarded by those with whom he is associated.
