West of the Iredell survey was the Michael Gilbert three hundred and five acres, on which White Deer Woolen Factory stands.
THE WHITE DEER WOOLEN MILLS .- They were built in 1850, by Isane Statten, Jolin Finney, David Marr and David Stemninger, Statten, Marr & Co., beginning this work in the woods in the latter part of 1849, and the machinery was put in 1850-51. The first sea- son the hands lived in shanties in the woods, until houses were built. The firm of Marr &' Griffey succeeded, and that by Marr, Griffey & Co., until David Marr's death. Griffey &' Brumbaugh next, in 1864, and they were washed out by a sudden flood Angust 17, 1867. The White Deer Creek is noted for such. It lay then idle until 1872, when Mr. Pardee became a partner with Benjamin Griffey, under the title of B. Griffey & Co. The dam and walls

were rebuilt and a hat mannfactory added with a capacity of three hundred dozens a day. This mill manufactured cassimeres, tricot, diagonal, tweed, flannels, worsted goods and yarns. During the war they made fifty thousand army blankets. It was burned to the ground An- gust 30, 1879, and has remained in ruins. It was insured to the amount of fifty-five thousand five hundred dollars, but the loss besides this was one Indred thousand dollars, and one hundred and thirty-five hands thrown out of employment.
Mr. Griffey was a practical mill-wright and bridge-builder, and of the best in the country, and it was conceded that the mill, built under his supervision, was an elegant and substantial affair. It is driven by water ; a wheel still standing to this day, escaping the fire, is con- sidered a marvel of workmanship ; eighty-five horse-power. The building, with basement, six story, forty-eight by eighty feet with annex for the hat factory forty-live by seventy-two feet. The woolen mill had four setts, and the reputation of the goods manufactured was wide- spread.
By the time the mills were built there was a handsome and substantial village of seventeen cottages around it, upon which no expense was spared.
The factory building itself was originally built by Benjamin Griffey, as also the White Deer grist-mill at the same time and at the mouth of the White Deer Creek, a large saw- mill, which was swept away in 1865.
Next west, Wm. McCorkle, three hundred and nineteen acres, on which " Barnett's cabin " is marked by surveyor who surveyed it Octo- ber 23, 1769 ; next west, along the creek dividing it on both sides, as do the others, the John Littlehop's three hundred and four acres, surveyed on December, 1772 ; all under appli- cation of April 3, 1769. The furnace of Kanfinan & Reber, grist and saw-mills are on the John Littlehop's. Samuel Fisher settled upon it as early as 1775, and had a saw-mill there in 1778. It was burned by the Indians. The mill irons, which they had hidden, were found many years afterwards by Dauiel Cald- well.
FOREST IRON WORKS .- In November, 1845, Green, Howard & Green commenced erecting the Forest Iron Works. It was a charcoal furnace. The change of the tariff brought bankruptcy, and in 1819 it was in the hands of the sheriff. Kaufman & Reber bought it for seven thous- and dollars in 1850. It never was operated successfully. It bankrupted Kanfman and Reber, came into the hands of A. Pardee and he had to shut down in it as too expensive.
West of the Littlehops lie John Titsworth, ete., surveyed under warrants of the 10th of March, 1794. Nittany Mountain, south of these, was taken up by warrants in the name of J. Owen Foulke, et al., dated March 10, 1794. Along the north branch of Buffalo Creek with the land was taken up and surveyed in 1772, '73, 76, Humphrey Montgomery warrant (Mar- tin Keiffer's place in 1813), 10th of June, 1772, the old J. F. Beck place Neal Conley warrant, March 7, 1776 ; Cadwalader Evans, west of Humphrey Montgomery, was surveyed to Jolin Kelley, April 2, 1773; Evandale north of Cadwalader Evans, March 7, 1776.
There were settlers along the northwest branch of Little Buffalo Creek near Nittany mountain, at a very early date, in 1779.
In May John Sample and wife were killed. The inhabitants had mostly left the valley. The militia were out, under Colonel Kelly .- William Lyon's Let- ter May 13. This marauding party consisted of from fifteen to seventeen Indians. Christian Van Gundy, Sr., was one of a party with Henry Vandyke, who went up to bring these old people away. (They lived on a farm lately owned by Abram Leib near Ramsey's school-house, in White Deer, where their graves may still be seen.) Van Gundy was a sergeant and had six men in his party. Six more were to follow them the next day. After Van Gundy got there, he had slabs put np against the door, and water carried upon the loft. After dark an Indian came around the house, barking like a dog and rubbing against the door. They paid no attention, but lay down and slept until about three A. M., when Van Gundy got up and lighted a fire. The Indians then surrounded the house, and mounting a log upon their shoulders, tried to beat in the door. Those inside then fired, wound- ing two, whom they saw carried off. An Indian then came around behind the house and set it on fire. Van Gundy mounted the loft, knocked off some of the roof, and put out the fire. In this encounter he was struck on the leg by a spent ball, which marked him for some time. Another of the party had his

Fide whiskers shot off. When daylight came they put it to vote whether they should remain in the house or try to get off. Two voted to stay, four to go. On opening the door they found an Indian chief ising dead in front of it. Van Gundy fook the hi- diam's rifle, Vandyke his powder-horn, which was -till in the possession of John Vandyke, in Illinois, "we years ago. The Indians came on suddenly, with lond yells, and the men separated. Van Gundy, with his two guns, fled, into a ravine, and tried to get the old people to follow him. They refused, and followed the young folks, one of whom, Adam Ranck, said was their son. Van Gundy said he soon heard several shots. These killed the old people, who were sealped and left to lie.
The Indians followed them several miles. Van Gundy said he never expected to get out alive, but with his two guns he thought he could kill two at least. He made a circuit of seven miles, and came out at Derr's mill. Colonel Kelly pursued this party ; he had a dog that could follow an Indian trail, and, coming pretty close, would immediately drop. On this occurring, Colonel Kelly separated his party, and they made a circuit. As Kelly glided very quietly through the wood, he suddenly stepped into a hole, made by an up-rooted tree. Glancing along it, to his surprise, he saw five Indians sitting like turkeys on the trunk. He made a hole through the root, and leveled his rifle. Simultaneously there was the crack of rifles from the opposite side. Four Indians fell, and, notwithstanding their utmost exer- tions, the fifth escaped. This dog was of great ser- vice to the colonel. During this summer, most of the inhabitants of the Valley, or at least their families, had abandoned it. The men left usually occupied their homes, had signals of alarm, upon which they assembled at some point agreed upon. Colonel Kel- ly's cabin stood in front of the present building, near the spring, at the present road. He was awakened one night by the growls of this dog. He had a hole ent in the door for observation, and, as it was then getting daylight, he could see something moving among the bushes, at the end of an oak log, that laid across Spruce Run. On closer inspection he saw an ludian, He took aim at a spot above the log, and when the Indian raised his head, fired. The ball passed clear through his head, killing him instantly. He buried him himself in the little lot by the spring, marking the grave by a large stone, and kept the secret many years, not telling even his nearest neigh- bor or friend, knowing that there was no city of ref- nge to protect him from the vengeance of the next of kin, an Indian law that proves our common origin. No time or distance overcame it. There occurred one case in the Valley of the killing of an Indian, which was avenged many years after, when the set- tler had removed to Kentucky. The Indian was ap- prehended, and confessed that he had often sought the opportunity to kill the man here, but was as often
foiled, and he followed him to Kentucky, and dogged him many years before it came.
On Little Buffalo on the southern line of the township stands Jonas Ranch's mill, on the Wil- linn Robb survey of October 26, 1773, war- ranted July 16, 1773. On the Est of Decem- ber, 1771, William Robb and Olive, his wife, sold Henry Titzell fifty acres. The same year Titzell built the mills where he was assessed in 1775 with grist and saw-mill. Titzell's mill was a rendezvons during the Revolution, and a station of the defenders of the frontiers.
Titzell never returned from Cumberland County after the great runaway of 1778, and we find Neigal Gray, of Northampton County, in possession in 1783, and a conveyance from Titzell to Gray on the 5th of May, 1786. Gray died the same year, and his son John took the tract, who, with Jane, his wife, sold to George Reniger on the 18th of April, 1796. Reniger failed. It was at one time owned by Colonel Aaron Chamberlin, who in 1824, tried his best to get the line of Kelly run north of him. Chamberlin sold to Martin Rudy, who sold to David H. Kelly, in 1859, and within a few years it was bought by Jonas Ranch, the pres- ent owner. Neigal Gray was lieutenant colonel of William Cook's Twelfth Regiment Pennsyl- vania Continental Line, commissioned Septem- ber 28, 1776, and fought in the battles in New Jersey and at Brandywine and Germantown. He was cashiered for some misconduct during the winter at Valley Forge. He removed to White Deer township in 1783. His son John was a well known character in after years in White Deer.
Across the meadow from Colonel Aaron Chamberlin's Mill eastward, settled Matthew Laird, who is the ancestor of a large generation. He came originally from Ireland, where his son James was born. He was a wagoner with Gen- eral Braddock's army, and was in Colonel Dun- bat's camp when the news came back of Gen- eral Braddock's defeat, July 9, 1755. He says, "a wounded officer was carried into camp on a sheet; then they beat to arms, on which the wagoners and many common soldiers took to flight, in spite of the sentries, who forced many to return, but many got away, among them,

this examinant." His danghter, Isabella Black, was twelve years old when he came to White Deer. Matthew Laird died in August, 1821. Ilis children were James, John, Isabella, mar- ried to James Black, Moses, (father of R. II. Laird, Esq., died November 7, 1885, age nine- ty) who died in Derry, in Jannary, 1816, Mar- garet, married to John Blakeney, Matthew, who died in Tillin, Ohio, Elizabeth, and Ann. Mo- ses married Jane Hayes, and their son, Rever- end Matthew, married a Miss Myers, and went ont as missionary to Africa, October 15, 1833, dying there, May 1, 1834. Their other chil- dren were John, Mrs. McCalmont, Mrs. Joseph Milliken, of Clinton County, -- married Wil- liam Caldwell.
Matthew Young lived on the place known as the Gabriel Huntingdon. For the story of his danghter's captivity, see Linn's Annals, 195.
The ancestors of Judge Alexander Jordan were carly residents of White Deer; his grand- father Sanmel Jordan lived a little west of Wm. Stadden's farm not far from the old ferry. Mr. Richard Irwin, who died November 21, 1882, at Franklin, Venango County, Pa. His father removed in May, 1802, to Cherry tree Market, Vonango County. The judge was many years deputy surveyor, located in 1818 in Susque- hanna and Waterford turnpike between Frank- lin and Meadville, and in December, 1838, was commissioned by Governor Ritner as associate judge of Venango County.
The grant of the road from Bald Eagle to Sunbury is copied here to show where the old settlers lived,-" From a white oak in the Nar- rows, between White Deer and Buffalo Valleys, two miles ninety-nine perches, to Smith's mills, (now Candor's); thence to white oak, west side of Blythe's mill (which was probably nearer the month of the creck ) ; thence to MeClure's (who lived on Blythe's land) ; thence to a white oak opposite the lower end of Marcus Hulings' island, (Milton bridge island); thence to a phunb at Peter Swartz's (Miller's place) ; thence to a stone at Clark's (late John King's) ; thence to a post at Robert Fruit's, (Heinly's); thence to a post at William Gray's (now Paul Geddes') ; thence to Buffalo Creek (where the iron bridge now spans the creek) ; thence to a pine near the
head of Derr's dam ; thence to a pine corner of Abel Reese's (i. e. through the University grounds, to Adam Gundy and William Brown's corner); thence to a post at Anrand's barn (Jenkins') ; thence to John Lee's (Winfield) ; thence to Andrew Gibson's; thence to the gum near Renben Haines' road; thence down the same to the black oak on the west bank of the river, opposite Sunbury."
Dr. John Houston was the first resident physician of White Deer, living near High- Town.
Sonoons .- White Deer township accepted the common school law in 1834, and with Lewisburgh were alone in the county. The first school was established about 1800, two and a half miles northwest from New Colinbia, near the residence of S. B. Pawling. It was tanght by John Davis, a one-armed man. The building was an old log house, with a large chimney in the rear. Another school was opened about the same time, about half-way be- tween White Deer Mills and New Columbia, but the county being thinly settled they were never open at the same time. The schools in 188 I had four hundred and sixty-five pupils. The names of the different schools are New Columbia (primary and grammar), Applegate, Robinson, High's, Leiser's, Ramsey's, Factory and Furnace.
NEW COLUMBIA CHURCH OF THE EVAN- GRIMICAL CHURCH ASSOCIATION is the oldest honse of worship now in existence in the town- ship. It was erected in 1843, and dedicated January 21, 1844, but has since been remodeled. It is a brick structure, with steeple and bell, and is controlled by a board of trustees, composed of Edward Rank, II. H. Trumpfeller and Jacob N. Rank. The church is a part of the White Deer cirenit, but was a part of the old Buffalo cir- enit until 1872, when it was united with other charges in the northern part of the county to form the present cirenit. The minister in charge in 1886, was the Rev. S. Smith, who was the Successor of the Rev. S. P. Ream.
Among the first members of the association at this point were Squire John Rank, David Stenninger, Michael Hoffman, John F. Richart, Joseph Watkins and John High. At present

about one hundred persons belong, and the church is in a prosperous condition. The mim- ber of members is one hundred and twenty. The church trustees are Lot Trate, J. N. Rank, John Clemens, S. C. Ranck and Enos Bennage.
THE DILL, METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHAPEL at New Columbia was built in ESSI, and was named in honor of its founder, the preacher in charge of the work, the venerable Rev. I. (. Dill. It is a neat frame building and has in- viting surroundings. Father Dill preached in the chapel three years, when the Rey. J. F. Kerlin became his successor. The membership is small but vigorons.
WHITE DEER CHURCH, of the Evangelical Association, was built in 1876 at a cost of one thousand two hundred dollars. The present trustees are Jacob Farley and F. W. Bergan- stock. The number of members is twelve. The pastors of the White Deer Cirenit, of which this church is a part since 1872, have been as fol- lows :
W. II. Davis from March, 1872, to 1873.
George Hunter from March, 1873, to 1874.
E. Kohr from March, 1871, to 1875.
P. W. Raidabaugh from March, 1875, to 1876.
J. M. Brader from March, 1876, to 1879.
G. W. Currin from March, 1879, to 1882.
G. E. Zehner from March, 1882.
After three months' service G. E. Zehner resigned, and was succeeded by W. 11. Lilly who served till March, 1881; D. W. Miller from March, 1884, to 1885; S. P. Remer from March, 1885, to 1886, and Samuel Smith, appointed March, 1886.
BETHEL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH .- In 1831 a number of persons belonging to the Buffalo Cross-Roads Church withdrew to form a sepa- rate congregation, and to establish a place of worship more convenient to their homes in Kelly and White Deer township. Matthews Laird and Andrew MeClenachan were chosen the first ruling elders, and a building spot was selected upon the farm of the latter, in the southern part of White Deer, near the Kelly line. Here a small brick church was built, in which worship was maintained a number of years, usually in connection with the mother church. Elder McClenachan, removing to the west. the congregation lost one of its most ne- tive members, and, as the number had never
been large, services were held with less frequency each year, until they were entirely abandoned, many years ago. The house was allowed to decay, and long since passed into ruins.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
MOSES YODER.
Mr. Yoder was born on April 1, 1810, in Oley township, Berks County, Pa., where his forefathers, who came from Germany nearly two hundred years ago, first settled and are still represented. His grandfather, Samuel Yoder, was the father of five children,-Maria, born 1750, died 1812; George, born 1752; Peter, born 1763; David, born 1765, died January, 1826; Abraham, born 1768. David was a carpenter and cabinet-maker, and had a large business, in proper connection with which he was extensively known as a maker of pianos, one of these in- struments being in use in the home of Dr. Piper, of Milton, Pa., many years. He married Cath- arine High, who bore him ten children, viz .: Joshua married Elizabeth Brown (both de- ceased ; they had two boys and four girls); Sam- nel married Sarah Mackey (both deceased; they had two boys and one girl); David; Moses, the subject of our sketch ; Beniville ; Isaac married Deborah Fowler, who bore him one daughter (he has since deceased) ; Aaron; Eliza; Phoebe married Jeremiah Taylor and has borne two boys and two girls; Anna married Frederick Der-ham and bore one boy and one girl (they are now deceased). David Beniville, Aaron and Eliza all died young.
Moses Yoder accompanied his parents to Union County in 1815, they settled in White Deer township and purchased some sixty acres of land; subsequently laying out the village of New Columbia and selling off the lots at very reasonable figures to indnee settlers to locate.
David Yoder wasa highly-respected and pro- gressive citizen and died in 1826, his wife sur- viving him until 1815.
The primitive schools of that period were opened to Moses Yoder, and he received their full benefit until the death of his father, which occurred when he was but fourteen years old.

Thus necessitated to strike out for himself, he ; worked upon a farm at six dollars a mouth for seven months. A few winters were spent iu coopering, and, at eighteen years of age, he went to mason-work on the Pennsylvania Canal, then in course of construction. Becoming a master- mason, he carried on the business successfully over twenty years and laid the foundation for his noticeable success. Desirous of a less arduous life, he entered upon a mercantile career with
to all matters. In 1872 he was appointed post- master by a Republican administration, although always a Democrat, without solicitation, and has since ocenpied such position. In 1875 he was nominated by his party for register and re- corder of the county, but was defeated in the strong Republican county, receiving much more than his party strength, although making no personal effort.
Hle was married to Elizabeth Ranek in 1834.

He then bought and ran the canal-boat " Datesman & Yoder " one season, after which he spent some time prospecting in the West; re- turning from whence musatisfied, he settled in Black Hole, Lycoming County, Pa., store-keep- ing, where he remained eight years. In 1864 he made a final change, purchasing the store build- ings and business at White Deer Mills, and has since continued there, giving personal attention

Mrs. Yoder was born February 21, 1818, her parents being James and Aun (Craft) Fow- ler. James Fowler was a builder and well- known engineer, having run the first engine ou the present Philadelphia and Erie Railroad. Hle died in 1858.

Yoder was married to Cyrus Leinbach, and has borne him two children, as follows : Merle Yoder, born January 6, 1878; Mabel Iuez, born July 15, 1881.
Mr. Yoder joined the Lutheran Church in 1815. Now, at the age of seventy-live, he is fairly hale and hearty and carries on a large general store trade in his own buildings to keep himself active and show others what may be done when a life has been well spent. He enjoys the respect and esteem of all and is a worthy citizen and friend.
WILLIAM STADDEN.
The original members of this race most prob- ably came from Holland. They located on Muddy Run, about two miles north of Mil- ton, Northinuberland County, as early as 1772, where their family was raised-three brothers, Samuel, Thomas and William-about a half-mile above its mouth. William Stadden, the grandfather of our subject, was there born, lived as a farmer, and, at the expiration of his days, there died. He was married to Mary White, who bore him five children, of whom lohn was the eldest, born January 21, 1791. Ile too, was a farmer, and, after doing his duty in the War of 1812-14, passing through that eventful period without harm, he settled down to till the soil. lle was an honorable and es- teemed citizen and married, April 12, 1814, Jane, daughter of John and Mary Sample, who was born February 6, 1791. Her grandfather, John Sample, was one of the heroes of the Rev- olutionary War, and after serving his country through those dark days settled down to farm- ing, and was murdered by the Indians in May, 1779, his wife falling a victim to the blood- thirsty savages at the same time. Ilis son Jolm was made a prisoner on this occasion, but, fortunately, was rescued, and subsequently took part in the War of 1812-11. John and Mary Stadden had eight children-William and Mary, twins, born February 28, 1815. William, our sub- jeet. Mary married James De Bar ; five children living ; she died during summer of 1870. John Sample, born Jannary 8, 1817 ; died December 6, 1817. James, born August 25, 1818 ; married,
first, Ann Waldron, and had twochildren; see- ond, Rachel Waldron and one child ; third, Susan Knox; he now resides at Centreville, Mich. Robert, born November 6, 1820; mar- ried Jane Ramsey and, with two children, resides at Williamsport, Pa. Isaac, born March 11, 1822, who married a Western lady and is a resi- dent of Jacksonville, Kan. Elizabeth, born March 5, 1825 ; married William Savidge and bore three children, being burned to death through a coal-oil accident, which occurred in the fall of 1870. Thomas, born September 2, 1827; married a Mrs. Waterman and now lives at Wadesville, Va. John Stadden died October 28, 1874, aged eighty-three years, nine months, seven days, having survived his wife, Jane, who died Jannary 9, 1828. John Stadden married his second wife, Elizabeth Boush, April 14, 1836 ; had seven children, four of which are still living,-Margaret, Sarah, George and Jane.
Mrs. William Stadden is traced to the sturdy Scotch, a race which has done so much for the benefit of the State and given so many promi- nent men to the conneils of the nation. Her grandfather, David Ireland, came from Scot- land with his wife, Leonora Murray, and pur- chased a large traet of land on the Limestone Run, Northumberland County. They had four sons and three daughters, of whom David was the youngest. He married Sarah Teitsworth and had issue,-David 1., born 1808; married Martha Hayes, had one daughter and died April, 1873. Sarah, born 1815; married William Stadden February 4, 1841. Eliza Ann, born 1817 ; died in 1845.
Immediately after marriage, in 1841, Mr. Stadden removed to Union County, where he has since remained, attending to his farm inter- ests. This marriage has been blessed with ten children as follows : An infant, died before nam- ing. Eliza Jane, born July 6, 1843; died in infancy. Mary Ellen. Martha Aun, married 4. T. Martz, who died in 1877, leaving her with three children,-William Stadden, born De- cember 26, 1870; Elizabeth May, born August 6, 1872; Nellie Taylor, born March 3, 1878.
