SANDY ITIL, TRINITY REFORMED CHERCH. -- At the regular annual meeting of Zion's Classis, convened in Jekesburg in the spring of 1873, permission was granted to Rev. F. S. Lindaman to organize a Reformed congregation at Sandy Hill. This organization was effected on the 14th of September, 1873, by electing. George L. Tekes and Sammel Bender elders, and Jacob Kuhn and Samuel Showers deacons. It consisted of sixteen members, and took the name of Trinity Reformed Church of Sandy Hill. The newly organized congregation wor- shipped in the school-house until a suitable building could be erected. In the spring of 1874 it was unanimously resolved to build a church, and work was begin at once, so that on the 3d of Jamtary, 1875, the present attrac- tive edifice was formally dedicated. Rev. F. S. Lindaman, to whose earnest and efficient of- forts this chinch owes its inception and con- summation, furnished the foregoing facts, and in addition says : " We have added from time to time many members to the church, and now, without taking into account the many who have moved away, it now numbers fifty-two con- firmed and about thirty unconfirmed mem- bers."
THE STONY POINT EVANGELICAL CHURCHI. -This church was erceted about 1863, through the efforts of John Ernest and other citizens of the vicinity. It is a frame building, and situ- ated about three miles west of Sandy Hill, on the Blain road. The church and Sunday- school are in a flourishing condition. It be- longs to the Elliottsbing charge. Several of it- yonng men have became preachers, Rev. J. W. Hollenbaugh, a missionary in Oregon, be- ing one of them.

eran Churches who were living in the vicinity of Andersonburg concluded to organize a church in their midst. This was done by the Rev. Reuben Weiser, in the spring of that year, and the following persons were installed as the first board of officers of the congregation : Jacob Arnold and Jacob Kunkle, elders; J. B. Zim- merman and Sammel Arnold, deacons; George Hoheushilt and Henry Wolf, trustees.
The corner-stone was laid on the 27th of May, 1855, Rev. Daniel Sill preaching the ser- mon In September, 1855, Rev. R. Weiser resigned the Loysville pastorate, to which this congregation belonged, and the church was vacant about eight months. On Sunday, the 22d of December, 1855, the church was dedi- rated, Rev. P. P. Lane conserrating it by the distinctive title of "St. Paul's Evangel- ical Lutheran Church." The edifice is of brick, neat and substantial, forty by fifty feet in size. It has a vestibule and is surmounted by a steeple and bell. The church is located on the main val- ley road leading from New Bloomfield to Blain, being about five miles west of Loysville, on a tract of land taken up in 1766 by John Craw- ford. From the 25th of May, 1856, to Novem- ber, 1858, Rev. Philip Willard was pastor. In October, 1858, this church united with Blain, and called, on the Ist of April, 1859, Rev. Jolm T. Williams. He served the charge until April 1, 1865, when he resigned, and in June, 1865, Rev. W. I. Cutter was installed, who served until the 19th of March, 1867, when he resigned, and on the 4th of JJnue, 1867, Rev. T. K. Secrist came on this charge and remained until 1872. From the 7th of July, 1872, to the 7th of July, 1873, Rev. R. II. Clare was the pastor, but he was never installed. From October 1, 1873, to September 1, 1881, Rev. J. R. Frazer was pastor, but he also was never installed. From January 1, 1882, to May 12, 1883, Rev. M. L. Heisler was the pastor, but was not installed. Rev. I. P. Neff, the present pastor, began his ministry on September 1, 1883.1

in Madison were those at Sandy Hill, Centre and Clark's. The first-named was established some time during the last century, and long before the memory of the oldest citizens now living. It is said by some that the first house was near the spring bordering the " old camp- ground," and south of the store. Others say it was at the spring on the Logan tract and was known as Sandy Hollow. All agree in its an- tiqnity. The pupils came a great distance, some over the mountain from Liberty Valley. Jonas Thatcher was one of the early teachers. The Centre School-house is also very old and is situated on the church tract. It is said that the first school-house in this neighborhood stood on the " lower" Linn farm, now owned by Andrew Loy, and not far from Waggoner's mill-dam. The present brick house is the second on the church grounds.
Clark's school-house has also a history reach- ing so far back that nothing authentic can be gathered. There are now fourteen public schools in Madison township, more than in any other township of the county, and most of the honses are in good condition. Two of them are in Liberty Valley, one in Sheaffer's Valley and the remainder in the central part of the town- ship. Educationally, Madison township is not behind her sisters, and many of her young men have puesned collegiate courses, with credit ta themselves and their township. At present three of her young men are in college, and dur- ing the last twenty years she has constantly had from one to four in college or university halls.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
ALEXANDER KELLY MCCLURE.
Alexander Kelly Mcclure was born in Sherman's Valley, Perry County, Pa., Janu- ary 9, 1828, and spent the early years of his life on his father's farm. He divided his time, work about, with his elder brother at the conu- try school, whenever it was held. When Gif- teen years of age he entered the service af James Marshall, of New Bloomfield, as an apprentice

to the tanners' trade. During his apprentice- -hip, which came to a close in the spring of 1846, he made frequent visits to the office of the Perry Freeman, where he found much plea- sure in reading the exchanges during odd mo- ments. In this little printing-office he learned inch more that was useful to him than during the hours spent at school. He read ninch, often talked Whig politics with the editor, and before his apprenticeship ended had scribbled a few articles, which had been printed. Judge Baker, the owner of the paper, took an interest in the boy and encouraged him not only to read but to write. To the accident of this association he is indebted for his initiation into the sphere of journalism, in which he is now so prominent. Within a few months after the completion of his apprenticeship the Whigs of Juniata Coun- ty desired a good man to start a paper for them at Mifflin, and Judge Baker advised young Me- Clare to undertake the task. He hesitated, but, ou receiving very decided encouragement from his friend, and pecuniary aid through his father to the amount of five hundred dollars, bought some second-hand type and an old-fashioned hand-press. In the fall of 1846 he issued the Sentinel, which is still published as the leading Republican newspaper of Juniata County. Young MeClure went to the case, learned to set type and at once mastered the details of the printing business. At the end of the first year he dispensed with all the help in the office, and, beside editing the paper, set up the type, did the press-work and all the other labor incident to publishing a country newspaper, with the help of a single apprentice.
Young MeClure, from his boyhood, took a deep interest in politics. At an early age he developed the spirit and qualities that have since made him a noted political leader. Before reaching his majority he was a conferce at a Congressional Conference as the friend of An- drew G. Curtin. Mr. Curtin was defeated, but the contest created a friendship between them that has lasted through all the changes in the polities of the State and nation. In the same year his opposition to General Cameron was born. Mr. Cameron was then the leader of a faction of the Democratic party known as State
Improvement men, upon which Mr. MeChure made vigorons onslaught in his paper. In 1818, when Governor Johnson, the Whig nomince, was elected, he took an active part in the cam- paign. Not only had his paper attracted atten- tion by the vigor of its editorials, but its editor had appeared upon the stump and given ample evidence of the powers that have since made him noted as a man and an advocate. When the new Governor was installed one of his first acts was to appoint young MeClure an aid on his staff, his commission being dated on the day he attained his majority. In 1850, Andrew G. ('urtin secured his appointment as deputy United States marshal for Juniata County, w take the census of that year. On completing this work he sold the Sentinel for twelve hun- dred dollars and became half-owner of the Chambersburg Repository. In the Whig Con- vention of 1853 he was nominated for Auditor- General by acclamation, but defeated, a> his party was in a hopeless minority. In 1855 the Republican party was formed, and no paper in the commonwealth did more to aronse the people of Pennsylvania against the aggressions of the slave power than the Chambersburg Re- pository. When the convention met at Pitts- burgh to organize the Republican party, Colonel MeClure was one of its members. The young editor was, however, bitterly opposed to Know- Nothingism, and when the Whigs of Franklin County, in that year, joined with them, he de- clined to advocate the alliance and sold the Re- pository. He was soon after admitted to prac- tice at the bar and entered into partnership with his former preceptor, William Melellan. Ile was appointed by Governor Pollock Superin- tendent of Public Printing, which he soon re- signed, and was subsequently appointed Super- intendent of the Erie and Northeastern Railroad, and at once directed his attention to the source of the troable that caused the well-known Erie riots, permanently adjusting the difficulties to the satisfaction of all contestants. In 1856 he was a delegate to the National Convention that nominated John C. Fremont for the Presidency. In 1857, he was nominated for the State Logis- lature, elected by a flattering majority and re- clerted in 1858 by a still more complimentary

vote. In 1859 he was nominated for the State Senate, and, after a severe contest, involving much labor, elected. Colonel MeClure played a very prominent part in the State and National campaigns of 1860. Hle was made chairman of the Republican State Committee and charged with the responsibility of conducting that im- portant campaign, which he did with a vigor and brillianey that has not been excelled. On taking his seat in the State Senate he was a con- spicuous figure in that body aud recognized as one of the foremost leaders in the State. He urged upon the floor of the Senate, after the firing on Fort Sumter, in 1861, a vigorous war policy and preparations for a long and bloody contest. He served during the first years of the war as chairman of the committee on military affairs, and as such had important duties in con- nection with the war policy of the State and Government. He also, at a very early day, held close relations with both Governor Curtiu and President Lincoln. On the expiration of his term as State Senator, not being a candidate for re-election, he was appointed as assistant ad- jutant-general in the army and assigned to the duty of supervising the draft in Pennsylvania. The quota having been filled, he resigned and returned to the practice of law in Chambers- burg. Having a fondness for journalism, he, in 1862, repurchased the Chambersburg Reposi- toryand returned to the profession he so sudden- ly abandoned. He was a delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention of 1861, and was soon after elected to the State Legisla- ture, having previously declined the chairman- ship of the Republican State Central Committee. Colonel MeChuire was a severe sufferer by the Confederate invasion of July, 1861, losing all the property he had accumulated by years of in- dustry. Ilis health having failed in 1866, he spent a year in the Rocky Mountains and re- turned much improved. He was a delegate and chairman of the Pensylvania delegation in the National Convention that nominated General Grant in 1868, and participated actively in the campaign that resulted in his election. The sme year he decided to abandon politics and devote himself to the practice of law in Phila- delphia. In 1872 he participated in the Gree-
ley movement of that year, was chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation to the Cincinnati Con- veution and chairman of the Liberal Republi- can State Committee. This campaign witnessed his retirement from the Republican party. Colonel Mcclure did not go squarely over to the Democracy, but from his place astride the fence his free lance is more dangerous to the party he helped to organize than if on the other side. He was again elected to the State Senate in 1872 as an Independent, and in 1874 was nominated for the mayoralty of Philadelphia, but defeated by a small majority. Not long after he left the field of politics for that of jour- nalism, and for the last twelve years the history of the Philadelphia Times is the history, and, it might be said, the biography of its talented and aggressive editor.
DAVID KISTLER.
David Kistler is of Swiss extraction, his great-grandfather, George Kistler, having set- tled in Berks County, Pa., prior to the War of the Revolution. His son Abraham, a native of the latter county, afterwards became a resi- dent of Sherman's Valley, Perry County, where he was a prosperous farmer. He married Maria Loy, whose children were Abraham, John, William, Jacob, Samuel, Elizabeth and Susan. John Kistler was born in Tyrone town- ship, Perry County, in January, 1800, and still survives, in his eighty-sixth year. Having settled at Loysville, as a farmer, he married Salome Tresler, of the same township, daughter of Andrew Tresler, a patriot of the Revolution. The children of this marriage are Mary (Mrs. W. W. Snyder), Catherine ( Mrs. John Minich), Elizabeth (Mrs. D. M. Garland), David, Sammel, Sarah (wife of Rev. George S. Rea), William (deceased), Andrew T., Rebecca Jane (Mrs. Settle Moyer). The birth of David Kist- ler occurred in Tyrone township, Perry County, on the 23d of May, 1827. His youth was spent with his parents, the common school of the neighborhood affording but the simplest instruc- tion in the rudimentary English branches, Meanwhile, having access to the best authors, he was not content with the meagre advantages

Though not ambitious for official distinctions, he has held various township offices, and was, in 1870, elected justice of the peace, which position he held for ten successive years. He has also been importimed on several occasions to act as ad- ministrator. Through his efforts a post-office was established in the vicinity, known as Kist- ler's, with a daily mail.

'Squire Kist- ler is a Lutheran in his religions faith, and a member of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, of Madison township.

gaged in teaching and continued fourteen years thus employed, his services being principally devoted to the same district. He then em- barked in mercantile pursuits at. Elliottsburg, in Tyrone township, of the same county, con- tinning his business interest for seven years, when his residence and business were transferred to Green Park, where he remained nine years, holding, in both places, the commission of post- master. Judge Motzer next became associated with the Soldiers' Orphans' School at Ander- sonburg, in Madison township, as its principal, and for twenty years retained his official con- nection with that institution. In 1874 he purchased the farm which is his present home, and which had, during the interval, been culti- vated by a tenant. The judge was united in marriage with Margaretta, daughter of John Titzell, of Tyrone township, Perry County. Their children are Daniel Williams, born May 31, 1857, who died May 7, 1858; John Edward, born February 21, 1859, mar- ried to Mary Bell, daughter of James Murray, of Landisburg; and Samuel Martin, born Octo- ber 7, 1864, who died July 20, 1865.
Judge Motzer adheres politically to the policy of the Republican party. He was, in 1854, elected associate judge of Perry County, which office he filled for one term. He has also, for years, been school director, and hekl other offices in the township. His integrity and executive ability have rendered his services often desirable in such responsible trusts as those involved in the offices of executor and administrator. He is an elder in the Upper Presbyterian Church of Blain, Pa., of which his wife is also a member.
CHAPTER XL.
SAVILLE TOWNSHIP.
THE territory comprising this township was a part of Tyrone from the time of its erection, in August, 1751, until 1817. Early in that year a petition was sent to the Court of Quarter Ses-
sions of Cumberland County, asking for divi- sion of Tyrone. The following is gleaned from the court records :
A petition from the inhabitants of a part of Tyrone township was presented to the court of Cumberland County at the April sessions, 1817, asking that Tyrone be divided. John Darling- ton and David Grove were appointed viewers. They made a report at the November term of court. The closing sentence of this report read as follows :
" That by confirming the division of said township agrecably to the draught presented, would conduce greatly to the convenience of the inhabitants of the respective sections thereof, and that the limestone ridge, along which the division line runs the whole distance from cast to west, is the natural and proper division of said township."
This report was signed June 24, 1817, and confirmed at the November term of 1817, and the new township called" Saville."
Saville has retained its original territory, with the exception of a portion on the west side, which became a part of Madison upon its erection. It is one of the largest townships in Perry County, being about seven miles in length, about six in breadth, and contains about forty square miles. The principal stream which drains this town- ship is Buffalo Creek.
