" The Hope," which was sold for old iron. The department also have twenty-eight hundred feet of hose in addition to that purchased, with the steamer. The company 'contains one hundred and twenty-five members. R. IL. MeClintock was president, and Joseph M. Selheimer, chief director.
POLICE DEPARTMENT .- Abont 1849 a series of fires occurred in Lewistown, believed to have been started by incendiaries. It cansed alarm, and on February 1, 1850, an ordinance was passed by the borough and Council establishing a police force, to consist of a captain and first and see- ond lieutenants, who were authorized to ap- point a proper number of citizens in cach ward to patrol the streets and alleys during the night. A police system has been maintained to the pres- ent time, and now consists of two policemen.
Post-OFFICE .- A post-office was doubtless established at Lewistown before 1800, but the first positive information of an office is in 1803, when Jacob Walters was postmaster. He held the office until his death, and was succeeded by his daughter, Margaret J. Walters, who resigned in 1835 upon her marriage to E. I. Benedict.1 Samuel Stewart snecceded to the office and re- mained postmaster until 1841, when William P. Elliot was appointed and served until 1845. Moses Montgomery was the successor and went ont @ 1849. The following persons have served as postmasters since that time : William Butler, 1849-53 ; Charles Ritz, 1853-57; Se- varus S. Cummings, 1857-61 ; Samuel Com- fort, 1861-65; Emannel C. Hamilton, 1865- 69; Peter Printz, 1869-1873; Robert W. Pat- ton, 1873-1882.
BUSINESS INTERESTS .- The mouth of the Kishacoquillas Creek was selected by Robert Buchanan as a trading-post in 1754, or earlier, and he built a cabin here and kept his stock of goods-such as were used in those days in trade with the Indians. The next account of any business at the place, other than Buchanan's, oc- eurs in a sketch of Andrew Gregg, who married Martha, the daughter of General James Potter, January 29, 1787, and came to the vicinity of

"Old Town" with a stock of goods and settled on a tract he took up below the town on the Juniata, where his daughter Mary was born November 8, 1788, John Norris (who died March 5, 18-11) came to the site of Lewistown with store goods, as a boy in the employ of Gregg. The latter moved to Poun's Valley, two miles from Old Fort, in 1789, and in 1814 to Bellefonte, where he died in 1835. The town was laid out in 1789, and lots were sold at once, as the county buildings were to be erected. Carpenters, merchants, blacksmiths and other artisans and business men soon flocked to the place. The jail was in process of erection in 1790. William Scott, a blacksmith, and Wil- liam MeCandlish, a carpenter, were both at work upon the jail. In 1793 William Adams opened a tan-yard on lots 2 and 3. James Armstrong and Robert Forsythe were blacksmiths. Henry Bernheisel also opened a tan-yard at the west end of Grand street, which he continued until his death. His son-in-law, James MeCurdy, then came into possession and continued it until 1862, when it was sold to J. A. & W. R. Me- Kee, who carried on the business mitil 1870, when it was abandoned. George Walters, in 1793, kept a store-honse at the foot of Water Street, which two years later was owned by George MeClelland, who, still later, erected the stone house now the brewery. Francis Ellis & Co. opened a store in the same year, 1793, Ellis was in business at the place many years as merchant, jailer and tavern-keeper. Finley Ellis, a citizen well known, was a son of Fran- cis. Benjamin Brierly, in 1793, had a saw-mill in the vicinity. In December, 1800, Adam Ebert opened a tan-yard, which he continued several years. In 1808 the persons whose names are here given were in business: John Brown, grist and saw-mill; Adam Ebert, tan- yard; Foneannon & Smith, store; James and John Steel, store on Water Street ; William Scott, hatter; Abraham Weaver, distillery and brewery. In addition to the above: 1805, Nicholas Deal, tan-yard (bought of Ebert) ; Mark Kulp, watch-maker; Peacock Major, im- keeper and butcher; 1806, Arthur Buchanan, James Criswell and George MyClelland, mer- chants; Frederick Orwin, tinsmith ; Rowe &
Kulp, boat-builders; Robert Stark Little, wheel and chair-maker. 1809, Andrew Keiser, pol- tery, on the corner of Second and Brown. This he continued a few years. In 1809 Emanuel Philips was in possession of a pottery, and in 1813 Henry Fulton had a pottery and kiln at the corner of Third and Brown. A pottery was established by Joseph Matthews, about 1832, at the corner of Valley and Nusbamn streets, which was continned by him until 1852, when he sold to Jolm Dipple. With slight changes in ownership, it was run until 1868, when the property was sold and a new pottery and kiln was erected, fourteen by fourteen feet square, with chimney stack thirty feet in height and having capacity of holding "twenty-two hundred gallons of ware." The business is still conducted by John Dipple.
In 1809 David McConahey had a tannery Third and Brown; Anthony Young was carry- ing on weaving.
In 1812 Henry Butler was a boot and shoe- maker ; William McCoy a tailor ; Miller, Morton & Co. were the proprietors of Freedom Forge (now Logan Iron-Works) and a company store in the town ; Robert Davison was a lumber dealer ; James Sherrard had begun merchandis- ing in the Yellow House, at the northeast corner of the public square; Samuel Eisenbiss opened a cabinet-shop in November ; Humphrey Golf' was a tailor; Franklin, Ellis & Baum were butchers.
On the 25th of Jime, 1813, Lientenant James MeGhee, of the 22d Regiment of U. S. Infantry opened a recruiting-office in town. July 20, 1813, Robert Lytle advertised that he had in operation at John Brown's mill a cotton-carding machine, and hoped to obtain enstom. In Au- gust, 1813, Charles Haas proposed opening a military academy to teach the "broad-sword exercise" at Kinsloe's tavern. John George and John Swisher were gumsmiths in 1813-15. The guns belonging to the militia were ordered to this shop for repairs and examination. Swisher abandoned the business in March, 1815, but George continued it, and later went to where Man's axe-factory now is.
J. MeClintock rented, in December, 1815, the store-house of George McClelland (formerly

kept by Robert Starks), on the bank of Kishaco- quillas Creek, for the reception of wheat, flour, whiskey, etc. He was prepared with boats suit- able for the shipment of grain at high or low water. Soon after this James Sherrard sold his store and became a partner of Mcclintock's Steely & Marks also advertise boating and storage. Steely soon after retired, and on the 29th of December, 1819, Philip Marks suc- ceeded.1
In 1815, James McCord began the manu- facture of saddles and harness next-door to Mrs. Powers' tavern, on Main Street. On Water Street, C. Eisenbise established a nail- factory, and George Swarts opened a brick-yard in the same year.
1 The following sketch of early transportation is of inter- est in this connection. It was written by Mr. George Frysinger from the recollections of William P. Elliott, Esq., who was born in Lewistown in 1793, and still resides there :
" The early settlers of this eounty had to use paek mules in transporting whatever was necessary for food and such implements as axes, picks, shovels. &c., all of which had to be carried from Cumberland Valley across half a dozen mountains. Two paths were used, one by way of Shirley, the other coming out at Granville Gap, two miles south of Lewistown. The Narrows were then a tangled mass of undergrowth and full of rocks down to the water's edge, but a year or so afterwards a bridle-path was opened, thus in pact avoiding the mountains. Peddling traders soon appeared and supplied minor articles, but meal and other necessaries involved a long and trying journey.
"Canoes next appeared, being constructed from large tree trunks and capable of carrying a considerable burden. These were run down the Jnuiata on a freshet to the Sus- quehanna, and thence down to Middletown, below which the roaring waters of Conewago Falls forbid further descent. These canoes were there loaded with plow-shares, hardware and other useful articles, and then poled back by two men, a distance of more than 70 miles. The first regular river boat was built for John Elliott, the father of W. P. Elliott, Esq., about 1791. This was followed by other large boats and arks for carrying produce. In the mean time a road was ent through the Narrows and wagons began to greet the vision of the pioneer."
" The turnpike eastward from Lewistown was opened about 1817.
" The first eanal-boat arrived in Lewistown the first week in November, 1829, which event gave a great impetus to agricultural productions as well as business that contin- ned until the opening of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in 18-19. This road, with its branches, has curtailed all centres of previous business, the quantity of grain now shipped from Lewistown being less than a tenth of what it was in canal days."
Samuel Smith, who was a merchant in the place before 1813, in that year sold his store to William Brisben, with the intention of going to Kentucky. Samuel Frampton, in October, 1813, moved his saddlery and harness-maker shop to- Market Street, opposite Me. Major's, and two doors above Hoyt's tavern.
John Brown, whose grist and saw-mill is mentioned in 1803, continned in business in and near Lewistown until after 1820, and was at one time part owner of Freedom Forge. Ile was a son of Judge William Brown ; was born in Kishacoquillas Valley in 1772; came to Lewistown about. 1800 and built a grist and saw-mill, and was identified with the business interests of the town in other ways. He was a member of Assembly from the district from 1809 to 1813, inclusive, and subsequently mem- ber of Congress from the district composed of Mifflin, Huntingdon, Centre and Clearfield Counties. He was highly esteemed by a large conncetion of friends and acquaintances. Later in life he moved to North Carolina, and died at Limestone, in that State, October 12, 1845, aged seventy-three years.
Robert Forsythe was settled in the town be- fore 1797, and later opened a store on Market Street, and built a distillery. He continued in business there until about 1818, when he moved to a farm in Derry township. See sketch of that township.
Of the carly merchants of the town, and who had a marked influence on the business of the . place for many years, was James Milliken. He was the eldest son of Samuel Milliken, who settled in the Kishacoquillas Valley in 1772. He was born in 1776, and in 1804 journeyed to Pittsburgh and down the Ohio River to George- town (now Wellsville), at which place he pur- chased flour, which he traded with the Indians for furs on his way to New Orleans. After remaining several week in the city he took passage on a sailing-vessel for Philadelphia, from where he returned home partly by stage and partly on foot. In 1810 he settled at Lewistown and opened a store on the Diamond, in the buibling now occupied as a barber-shop, west of Mr. Setheimer's store. As business in- creased, a younger brother, Joseph, came to the
501

place as clerk, and later became a partner, under the firm-name of J. & J. Milliken. The brick store building on Market Street, now occupied by Mr. John Clarke, was erected, and a general -tore for the sale of dry-goods, groceries and grain was opened. With increased facilities, their business extended over a wide range of country. Grain from all the surrounding region was drawn to Lewistown, and in the busy season as many as three thousand bushels per day were received. They established a line of boats, which carried from six to eight hundred bushels each, to ship the grain down the Juniata and to Philadelphia. After the canal was opened they owned a mimber of canal-boats and mules, which last were kept during the winter on some of their farms in the adjoining township.
A mill, long kuown as the Milliken Mill, was purchased and refitted, and for many years an extensive business in milling was conducted. In addition, the firm established six or eight branch stores in different parts of the county, and were also engaged in the manufacture of iron, being interested in the Martha and Brookland Furnaces, in Mifflin County, and the Hopewell Furnace, in Clearfield County. The building of the railroad through the county, in 1817, changed the nature of their business, as other stations along the line of the road became centres for shipment of grain and produce, and Lewistown from that time became only a station, and her prestige as a distributing centre for a wide range of country was gone, never to return.
James Milliken died in 1851, aged seventy- five years, leaving four children, of whom a daughter Mary is now a resident of Lewistown. Joseph Milliken married Elizabeth Patton, a daughter of Benjamin Patton, who for many years kept the stage-honse. Of their children now resident in Lewistown are Margaret (Mrs. D. W. Woods), Elizabeth (Mrs. Robert W. Patton) and Mary (Mrs. William Russell).
Another early merchant was James Criswell, who, in 1806, opened a store, and later moved to Me Veytown, where he established a store and, with his sons, conducted business many years ; was proprietor at one time of the Brook- land Furnace and associate judge of the county.
Francis MoClure, still living, came to Lewis-
town in 1826, and opened a store on the corner of the Diamond, in the Blymyer building, and continued in that place until 1842, when he was succeeded by George Blymyer, who, with his sons, conducted for many years a large busi- ness, dealing also in grain.
Of merchants now doing business in Lewis- town there are but three who were in the town in 1844,-John Davis, saddler and harness- maker, came in 1840; Nathaniel Kennedy, in 1842; and F. G. Franciscus, who began a small hardware business November 1, 18-11, and in 1865 erected the large building on Market Street and entered into the wholesale trade.
About 1820 R. U. Jacobs erected a tannery above the place where the old packet landing was located. In 1830 it was sold to Thomas and John McKee, who continued until 1854, when Thomas died. John remained in business until 1860, when J. A. & W. R. McKee, sous of Thomas, purchased the property and ran the business until 1870, when it was abandoned. The tannery building was destroyed by fire in 1865, but was rebuilt and is now'used as an armory for the National Guard.
R. U. Jacobs erected a tannery abont 1830 on the corner of Third and Dorcas Streets, which was operated by the MeKees for several years, and abandoned about 1850.
In 1833, John R. Weekes, William Cogge- shall and William Lockwood, under the firm- name of Weekes, Coggeshall & Co., built a foundry, which was called " The Lewistown Foundry." Mr. Lockwood retired March 5, 1834, and Weekes & Coggeshall continued mitil July, 1836, when Mr. Weekes became sole proprietor, and continued until 1855, when John Ziegler and William Willis became the owners. Several changes in ownership ensued, and in 1864 Thomas Reece, Sr., & Co. pur- chased the property and ran the business until 1869, when a slight change was made and the firm was called "The Weldon Engine and Brass Company." Under this firm the business was conducted until 1881, when James S. Wel- don purchased it, and two years later the present partnership (consisting of George W. Elder, William Willis and James S. Weldon)

was formed, under the name of " The Lewis- town Engine and Machine Company," under whose control the business is still conducted.
In 1831 R. H. MeClintock established a furniture business in Lewistown, on Market Street, on the site now occupied by his sons. The building was burned in 1851 and a two- story brick building erected, which has since been enlarged to meet the demands. His sons continue the business under the name of R. II. McClintock & Brother.
Anthony Felix come to the place iu 1837, and iu the next year purchased the furniture business of Hopper & Kenney, which he moved to the site now occupied by his son, W. H. Felix. He continued in business until 1866, when his son succeeded him, and in 1871 erected the present brick warerooms. Another wareroom is on Dorcas Street.
The Logan Foundry was established by A. B. Long & Brother about 1812, principally for the manufacture of Hathaway stoves, of which the firm made a specialty. In 1849 it was run by Robert MeManigle, in 1858 by Long & Brother, and in 1863 by D. Bearly & Sons, who were the last. It was on the corner of Elizabeth Street, across the Kishacoquillas Creek from the main part of the town.
The Glenorgan Iron Company own and carry on two blast furnaces, one of which was built by other parties. That known as the Dineau Furnace was established by A. B. Long & Brother in 1846, and began operations in January, 18-17. It was operated by them a few years and lay idle for a time. In the spring of 1853, Etting, Graff & Co., of Philadelphia, purchased the property, refitted it as au anthracite furnace and put it iu blast in the fall of that year, with Colonel William Willis as manager. The firm and business continued until 1863, when the Glenorgan Iron Company was organized and purchased the property. The company was re- organized in 1867, and in 1868 Colonel Wil- liam Willis was elected president, and con- tiuned uutil 1873. In 1871 the company erected a new furnace, fourteen feet bosh, lower down and on the bank of the canal. This was blown in soon after its completion and was running until 1885, when it was blown out and
refitted with an increased capacity. At present its output is one hundred and eighty tous per weck. The old Duncan Furnace has a capacity of producing one hundred and twenty tous per week.
The first mill in the town was built by John Brown about 1800, and was continued down to 1820. It probably was on the site of the present Lewistown Mills.
The old Milliken Mill, of which an account will be found in Derry township, passed, in 1842, to John Sterrett, aud was operated by him a few years, when he bought and refitted the large mill in the borough. This was de- stroyed by fire December 24, 1849, rebuilt of stoue at a cost of thirty thousand dollars, and opened for business June 28, 1850. Mr. Sterrett continued in possession till 1860, when the property was sold to Walter MeAtee, who conducted business there for seven years, and sold to George Blymyer, who ran it till Jannary 1, 1880, and sold to William Willis, who, in 1883, sold to A. Greybill, the present owner, who, with his son, still conducts the business.
About 1855, Marks aud Mr. Biruey erected a steam grist-mill at the foot of Grand and Water Streets, above the Juniata toll-bridge (now the railroad bridge). Tu 1857 it passed to William Willis, who operated it until 1864, when he sold to Marks, who, the next year, sold to George Blymyer, who continued the business three years aud abandoned it. The mill lay idle until 1884, when Blymyer & Rogers, the present proprietors, again fitted it up.
In 1806 Rowe & Kulp were boat-builders near the month of Kishacoquillas Creek. Boat- yards were there also in 1847 and in 1863. Allen & Gintner were carrying on the busi- ness.
The North American Tannery had its incep- tion in 1866, when Jacob Spanogle, Andrew J. and Andrew Spanogle, under the firm-name of Jacob Spanogle & Co., purchased thirteen acres of land of James Burns, on the limits of Lewis- town borough, and in Derry township. Upon this tract they erected a brick tannery, two hun- dred and thirty-one feet by forty-five, with au L, one hundred and ninety-five feet by

thirty-five, with slate roof, and filled with two hundred and ten tanning-vats, twenty-eight leaches and six limes and soaks and seven pools, having a capacity of taming twelve thon- and hides per annum. The firm contin- ned until 1876, when it was changed to Spanogle & Panebaker, and was operated by them until 1880, when the property was bought by William M. Panebaker, who continued until the spring of 1884, when D. P. Lease and T. E. Me Vitty, of Philadelphia, became associated with him, and the business, from that time, has been conducted under the name of W. M. Pane- baker & Co.
R. IT. Montgomery established a coach- works in a brick building on the corner of Third and Valley Streets in the year 1867, and in 1873 put in machinery for planing Inm- ber. Business was continued at that place until 1879, when it was moved to opposite the depot of the Sunbury and Lewistown Railroad, where it is still carried on under the same manage- ment. In 1882 the manufacture of brick was established in connection with the other busi- ness.
In 1876 D. C. Matter erected a large build- ing on Logan Street, in which he placed steam- power and planing-mill machinery, and began business. He was succeeded, in 1880, by his sons, L. W. Matter & Brother, who established also, in the building, coach-works, and in 1885 added a flonring-mill, under the name of the Globe Steam Flouring-Mill. These different industries are now being conducted by L. W. Matter & Brother.
Killian & Bailey established the business of carriage-making on Third Street in 1878, and in 1884 moved to their present place of bnsi- ness, on Marble and Logan Streets.
LEWISTOWN WATER-WORKS. - In thesupple- ment to " An act to erect Norristown, in Mont- gomery County, into a Borough, and for other purposes," passed April 10, 1826, it was pro- vided "that the corporations of the Borough of Norristown and the Borongh of Lewistown be, and they are hereby authorized and empowered to introduce into said borough a sufficient sup- ply of Schuylkill, Kishacoquillas or other wholesome water, for the use of said Boroughs,
at the expense of said Boroughs ;" also " anthor- ized to convey such supply by means of pipes, trunks or aquednets, and to provide cisterns or reservoirs for the reception thereof." The bor- onghi was authorized to borrow not exceeding eight thousand dollars for the purpose, and to apply such part of taxes as was necessary for the payment of interest; work to be com- meneed and water introduced within five years from the passage of the act. It appears, by the papers of the time, that work was commenced by the borough authorities January 1, 1829, and continned until the summer of 1830, but no record is found giving the location of the water supply.
On the 16th of AApril, 1838, the Lewistown Water Company was incorporated, with seven hundred and fifty shares of stock, at twenty dol- lars per share, The company was organized and work began on the reservoir June 7, 1839, under the superintendence of Jacob Bearly. In the act, authority was given the company to purchase springs, streams of water or water-power for their purposes. A lease of springs half a mile west of the town, on the Ridge, was obtained, and work was continued upon the reservoir and ditches until Angust 12, 1839, when it was abandoned.
Subscriptions to the capital stock began in 1839 and were continned until 1843, when, by an act of Legislature, five hundred additional shares were allowed.
On the 1st of May, 1846, a committee, ap- pointed by the company, purchased of David W. Hulings twelve acres of land, including the springs. Prior to this time water was intro- duced into the borough from springs below this tract, and in 1843 the first fire-plugs (six in number) were erected on the main streets of the town. The reservoir begun in 1839 was com- pleted, and was fifty-three feet square at the bottom, eighty-five square at the top and sixteen feet in depth. The waters of the Hulings or Upper Spring were added to the supply by resolution of the board April 21, 1852. The contract for furnishing and laying the pipe was given to A. B. Long. By anthority of an act of Legislature, April 6, 1839, the county sub- seribed for sixty shares of stock and the borough one hundred and eighty shares.

On the 2d of April, 1853, the borough was authorized, by act, to elect from the citizens of the town one who should represent their inter- ests in the board of management of the Water Company. The borough retained the stock until authorized to sell, April 9, 1861. The reservoir is located two thousand one hundred and thirteen feet below the Upper Spring. Several springs are led to the main and add to the supply.
In July, 1865, there was reported as laid thirteen thousand eight hundred and fifty-two feet of pipe. Since that time Chestnut, Logan and several shorter streets have been laid with pipe. AAngust 5, 1872, it was resolved to issue additional stock to the amount of five thousand dollars, or as much as was necessary to procure an abundant supply of water. Prior to the 12th a lot on the Kishacoquillas Creek, adjoin- ing the first railroad bridge of the Sunbury and Lewistown Railroad, was bought for three hun- dred dollars from D. M. Kline. A building upon the lot was fitted for an engine-house. An engine was purchased and pipes laid to conduct water from the Kline lot to the terminus of the water-pipes, at the end of Valley Street. The water is pumped from the Kishacoquillas Creek and conducted in a six-inch pipe to a receiver on the Kline tract. In 1880 a pro- jo-al was made to procure a supply of water springs was decreasing and pumping from the Kishacoquillas on the increase. This plan has not yet been adopted and the supply of water is at present largely drawn from the Kishaco- quillas.
