This company operated the bank for a long time. John A. Wright & Co., were the next to operate the bank and they were succeeded in 1850 by Schoenberger, Mussel- man & Watts, and Musselman & Sons. From 1850 to 1883, there were 42,090 tons of lump and wash ore obtained from this bank and reduced at the Musselman furnace at Marietta. The bank is nearly 300 yards long and the excavation of great size. The best ore taken from this bank contained forty per cent metallic ore. Mr. Myers of Marietta opened another bank near Longs- town on the same farm in 1866. It was found to contain deposits of buff limonite, which was removed in considerable quanti- ties. Samuel Hengst's bank was opened in 1873. In succeeding years, 3,050 tons of

HISTORY OF YORK COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Windsor was a great hunting ground for deer many years ago, especially the lower period of eight years. part of it.
Leber's tannery was located in the extreme lower end of the town along the "head of Kreutz Creek." Henry Leber, father of Nathaniel Leber, purchased the property in 1824, from John Kauffelt, who far many years before carried on the same business Charles A. Leber succeeded as proprietor. There are two other tanneries in this town- ship, one owned by Daniel Stine and the other by D. W. Gehley. Amos Hengst for a number of years conducted a store of gen- eral merchandise near the centre of Wind- sor.
Spring Vale Postoffice was established in 1877. Noah Goodling was the first post- master and was succeeded by John Seitz.
Daniel L. Gehly, a leading citizen of Windsor Township, operated a woolen mill on an extensive scale for nearly half a cen- tury. This establishment is one of the old- est mills of its kind in York County. It was founded as a fulling mill in 1780, and used continuously 120 years. It has been one of the most important factories of its kind in the entire area of York County. Under the management of Daniel L. Gehly and later by John W. Gehly, large quanti- ties of stocking yarn, flannels, blankets, cloths, satinets and carpets were made. Before 1850, large quantities of linsey- woolsey, composed of half linen and half wool, were made at this factory.
Jacob Wallick of Windsor Township, who lived to the advanced age of eighty-nine years, was one of the last survivors of the WVar of 1812. He belonged to Captain Hare's Company of York County Militia, which encamped at York, and when Balti- more was threatened in 1814, marched to the defence of that city. Mr. Wallick died in 1886. In his early manhood he shot twenty-six deer in Windsor Township.
Holtz is the name of a postoffice and a small village in Windsor Township. It was named in honor of George W. Holtz- inger, who engaged in farming, cigar mak- ing and the mercantile business at this place for many years. In 1905, he was elected one of the commissioners of York County by the Republican party.
Harvey W. Haines, a prominent citizen of Windsor, represented York County two
terms in the Senate of Pennsylvania, a

ern corner of Windsor
Township, is the site of the
British and Hessian prison built here during the Revolution. It was sit- uated near the village of Longstown and on the north side of the road leading to Wind- sor and East Prospect. The prison was built in 1781 on lands belonging to Daniel Brubaker. The farm upon which it was sit- uated was owned for half a century by Jacob Holtzinger, and later by Isaac Kaufman. This historic spot, though very rugged, has been farmed over, so that unless it is marked, its exact site will be known to fu- ture generations only by tradition.
The prison which was a stockade, made of long chestnut poles, was erected by au- thority of Pennsylvania. A description of this prison will be found on page 233 in this volume.
During the winter of 1782, the camp fever broke out among the prisoners and a large number of them died. They were buried in a small valley to the east. The resting place of these unfortunate soldiers has been described in a beautiful and pa- thetic poem, entitled "Hessian Thal," meaning " The Hessian Valley," written by Henry L. Fisher, a prominent member of the York County Bar.
YORK TOWNSHIP.
In 1753, four years after the erection of York County, a new township was laid out to the south and east of the county seat. It was separated from Hellam Township and embraced a large area, extending eastward to the Susquehanna River. This was named the township of York. It was reduced in its limits by the formation of Windsor, in- cluding Lower Windsor, in 1759, and of Spring Garden in 1824; portions of each were taken from York Township. The township as at present formed, is undulat- ing, but contains much valuable farming land. It is drained by branches of the Co- dorus, on which are a number of mills. There are extensive deposits of ore in the east end of the township, much of which was used in the charcoal furnaces, and later larger amounts were shipped to blast fur- naces in different parts of this state.

known as "Blimyer's Church." Among the original German settlers of this locality, an organization was effected as early as 1758, and a small log house for church and school purposes was built. The pastor served as a teacher. It was then the only church in a large extent of territory. Tra-
dition says some of the members who wor- shipped here before 1800 came a distance of twelve miles. The religious services for more than a hundred years were conducted in the German language and many of the pastors were native Germans. The fol-
lowing named Lutheran clergymen offici- ated before 1812: Rev. John Reyman (Rai- man), George Berger, Conrad Raiman, son of the first clergyman. There have been others whose names cannot now be obtained from the records. Rev. John Herbst, who organized Lebanon Church became pastor in 1813; George Stecher, 1820; A. Gearnal, 1830; J. Harman, 1848; Jacob Kempfer, 1852; John Conoway, 1867; P. Warner, 1873; E. Lenhart, 1882; C. W. Baker, M. B. Shatto, A. M. Heilman, I. J. Crist, William S. Bear, J. A. Lau and Samuel Greenhoe.
Among the first Reformed clergymen of this church was Rev. William Otterbein. In the pastorate of the German Reformed congregation at Blymyer's Church, he was succeeded by Revs. Rudisill, Jacob Friesz, F. A. Scholl, 1813; G. Hoblestein, 1823; Ja- cob Myers, F. Hurst, who preached the doc- trines of the Universalists, and afterward joined that denomination; F. W. Vander- sloot, 1830; Daniel Gring, 1862; Rhinehart Smith, Aaron Suangler, C. B. Heinley, John J. Stauffer and Joseph W. Bell. The pres- ent building of brick is the third one erected there.

Mills. Dr. John Rouse, one of the leading physicians of York, owned large tracts of land in York and Spring Garden townships. About 1800 he erected a grist mill and fulling mill at Violet Hill. He operated these industries with success for many years and during that time manu- factured a large amount of flour and made linen, woolen and cotton goods which found a ready sale in York and elsewhere. After the death of Dr. Rouse, the property came into the possession of his son-in-law, John Reiman, who was elected associate judge of York County. Judge Reiman resided at his mill property for many years and operated both the grist mill and the fulling mill. The by wholesale. property later came into the possession of Daniel Hartman and the fulling mill was discontinued.
Henry's Mill up the same stream a few miles, is also an old one, as well as Kreid- ler's, down the stream. Near Dietz's Mill stands a dwelling house, formerly occupied by Abraham Yost. It was built in 1762. Arnold's Mill was built about 1780. In 1820, a pious Quaker, named John Thomas, successfully taught an English school among the Germans, near Yost's Mill.
George Musser, in his day, was familiarly known as "Pan-smith Musser" in York, and over the entire county. He was a lively, good-natured individual, who owned a saw-mill and forge for the manufacture of iron implements, on his farm along the Peach Bottom road, afterward owned by Harry Strickler, and situated a few miles southeast of York. He made iron pans and ladles in large quantities, and sold them

This vil- lage was originally known as Innersville, and was named in honor of Jacob Inners, whose widow, Susannah Inners, kept a hotel here between 1830 and 1850. The land up- on which the town has been built-was owned before 1800 by Captain John McDonald, a soldier of the Revolution, a man of influence in the county.
