To Mr. and Mrs. Springman have been born children as follows : Margaret, born November 25, 1861 ; Laura, May 4, 1861; Ida, Angust 21, 1866; Irena, February 28, 1868 ; and Jo- soph B., September 18, 1873. In 1867 Mr. Springman and his wife visited Germany and spent some time in the home of his youth. Ile met with a royal reception among his friends and relations, who came miles to see him. In trav- eling from Bremen to Berlin they rode, as be- came a wealthy American citizen, in a first-class car, much to the surprise of a German general, who stared at Mr. Springman through his glass, an act returned with interest by Mr. Springman getting out his field-glass and staring at the general, who grew very angry, which in no way disconcerted Mr. Springman, who felt that a citizen of wealth and standing from the United States was as good and had the same privilege- as a German general. Mr. Springman became more an American than ever, and proud of his adopted country and its. free institutions.

At the April term of court of Northumber- land County, 1795, a petition was presented by the inhabitants of Penn township, asking for a division, and that a new township be erected, to be named Mahantango. The court ap- pointed Simon Snyder, Philip Mertz, Frederick Rood, Andrew Moore and Peter Hosterman to view the territory, and if in their opinion it was desirable, to divide the township. The viewers reported at the April term of court, 1796, that they had divided the township of
" Beginning at the month of Middle Creek, thence up said creek to a marked Black Oak on the bank of the creek ; thence a direct course to the top of Firestone or Limestone Ridge; thence along on the top thereof to a heap of stones on the said Ridge ; thence north 20° west to the mouth of George Motz Run ; thence up the said Run to its Head ; thence along the middle of the road, through the Gap in the Shade Mountain to a marked White Oak ; thence a due west course to the month of John Smith's Run, dividing Penn's and "Beaver townships."'
The court confirmed the report and ordered " that the new township be called and known by the name of Mahantango township." The i following is a list of residents, etc., of Mahan- tango township, made in 1796 (territory, Chapman, Perry, West Perry, now in Suyder Connty) :

This township remained in existence for about a quarter of a century, and finally, by the crection of Perry and Washington townships, its territory became so small that petitions were made to the court to enlarge it by annexing parts of' Penn and Perry. This view seems not to have been received favorably by the court, and al- though no record is found of any further action, yet Mahantango township appears for the last time in an official capacity upon the records of the court at the May term, 1819.
The following records show the action taken by the court and people before its abandon- ment :
At September term of court, 1816, inhabitants of Mahantango presented a petition by Ezekiel 11. Davis, stating "that in consequence of the division of the said township of Mahantango, lately made, there are only about fifty tax- able inhabitants left in the old part of the said township . . . and asked that the lines of the adjoining townships of Pen and Perry be altered so as to annex parts of these two town- ships to the township of Mahantango in such a way as to meet the convenience of the inhabi- tants of all these townships." The court, De- cember 19th, appointed John Hays, Conrad Weiser and Joseph Stillwell to view the prem- ise- and report. The viewers met and delayed the matter, disagreed and Joseph Stillwell de- clined acting, and George Weirich was ap- pointed in his place.
The small territory containing the fifty tax- ables mentioned was in the next year embraced in the territory mentioned in the petition for Chapman township, which petition was pre sented to the court of Union County at the February term, 1820, by inhabitants of parts of Washington and parts of Perry townships, stating, ---
"That the petitioners labor under great difficulty on account of having to travel to Stranbstown ( Freeburg) to the several elections, on account of the distance, hilly, rough and meven roads hardly passable at a new township to be called Susquehanna. Begin- ning at the month of Middle Creek, in Washington township; thence up the said creek to Simon Sny- der's paper-mill, including said mill; thence along the old hill road to a small field belonging to John German; thence to John Long's house; thence to Grubb's church, in Perry township, including the same; thence to Frederick Meiser's house and mill, including it at Mahantango Creck; thence down said creek to the Susquehanna River ; thence up the said river to the beginning; being in length, north and south, nine mile-, and in breadth, east and west, about five miles."
The court appointed John Hays, Adam Wilt and Joseph Stillwell, Faqs., commissioners, who reported in favor of a new township, to be named " Chapman," in honor of Judge Chap-

EARLY SETTLEMENTS .- Mention is made in the sketch of MeKee's Half Falls of Thomas MeKee, who was probably the first settler in the township. John Shamory wasone of the carly set- flers and came to the locality very carly. He emigrated from Germany, aud, like many others who came in those years, sold his time to pay his passage. They were known as " Redemptioners." He served his time in Baltimore, after which he came up the Susquehanna River and settled in what is now Chapman township (then Penn). Ile built a hut where the old house on the premises of George Heintzelman was afterwards built. He was in this section when the Indians troubled the settlers, and he removed to Bucks County, where he remained until about 1766, when he returned and lived in the vicinity of his original settlement until his death, in 177-1. He was a carpenter and constructed the okl Grubb Church, and was the second to be buried in the old burial-place, attached to the church. His son, John Shamory, was born in 1773, and died at the advanced age of ninety-five years at the house of his great-grandson, J. S. Longacre.
Henry Rine was born about the year 17 17 and settled in this vicinity abont 1768. He built a cabin at the place where an old oak-tree now stands, on the place now owned by A. Springman. He lived near this place all his days, died in 1817 and was buried in an inelo- sure near his first settlement, where his son, John Rine, and other members of the family are buried. In 1883 John M. Rine placed a suit- able monument to mark the resting-place of his ancestor and others of the family. The land at this place is now occupied by the fifth gene- ration of the same name.
Joseph Brittain was a soldier in the War of the Revolution, after which he purchased the farm now owned by Thomas Page, Esq. He was the maternal grandfather of J. C. Ner- hood, now of the township. His grandfather, Adam Nerhood, was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was stationed with his company at Black Rock. Frederick Kreitzer, father of .I. C. Kreitzer, and Peter Lehr were also soldiers in the War of I812-11.
GRUBB'S CHURCH was organized in 1776, and named Banerman's or Kruppe Church. Rev. Michael Enterline was the first lantheran pastor. He was succeeded by Matthias Genzel ; Frederick Hinze ; John Herbst; Rev. Courad Walter, 1801 to 1819, when he died; Rev. J. P. Shindel, Sr., served one year; Rev. Jacob Smith, from 1820 to 1830; Rev. William Ger- man, from 1830 to 1839; Rev. C. G. Erlenmeyer, from 1812 to his death, March 6, 1876; No- vember 1, 1876, Rev. J. F. Wampole became the pastor and is now in service. This church is owned conjointly by Lutheran and Reformned congregations. The pastor of the Reformed congregation were Rev. Jacob Rippass; George Geistweit ; Jolm Deitrich Adam ; Conrad Gei-1- weit, who in 1804 accepted a call to York, Pa .; Isaac Gerhart served six years; John Felix, Rev. Daniel Weiser, who served till September 10, 1833; Benjamin Boyer served one year; Mr. Baer, nine months; Samuel Seibert, from 1836 to 1845; W. G. Hackman, 1816 to 18-19; Joshna Derr, 1850 to 1854; Samuel Gutelius, 1855 to 1858; Mr. Hoffineier, 1870 to 1873; Il. Daniel, one year; W. Donat, 1874 to 1881.
The Rev. S. P. Brown, the present pastor, was partly reared in the township, and in the spring of 1881 the congregation of Grubb's Church extended to him a call to become their pastor, which he accepted, and entered upon his duties July 10, 1881. He was born in Lebanon County, Pa., February 4, 1851, and came to Chapman township, Snyder County, with his father's family in the spring of 1865. He entered the academy at Freeburg in 1872, where he remained until the fall of 1876, when he entered the Theological Seminary at Lancaster, and was graduated May 8, 1879. In August of that year he received a call from the Re- formed Church at Marietta, Lancaster County, which he accepted, remained two years and resigned ou account of ill health, and returned to his home in Chapman township, where he soon after became the pastor of Grubb Church congregation.
It is evident that a church building was created before 1773, as the place was need a- a burial ground in that year, and it is stated that John Shamory, who did the carpeuter-work of

the church building was buried in the yard in 1771. The old building was used ( with many repairs) until the second church-building was created, in 1876. It is a substantial brick structure. Forty acres of land belong to the congregation, on which a dwelling-house and other bniklings are erected. The land was warranted to George Ulrich, of Pen township, for school and church purposes, in a mistake, who had it corrected, and patented in the name of Simon Herrold, Sr., and Andrew Mid- dower, trustees of the congregation. This is the oldest church organization in Snyder County, having had an existence of one hundred and ten years.
TRINITY CHURCH, at MeKee's Half Falls, was built as a Union Church by the United Brethren in Christ and the Methodist Episco- pal Churches in the year 1860. It is a hand- some brick building, two stories, surmounted with a cupola and bell. At the present time it is exclusively used by the United Brethren in d'brist. The first trustees were John House- worth, B. Kremer and Philip Hilbish. The present trustees are B. F. Swartz, D. Hoffer and George A. Shaffer.
VAON'S LUTHERAN CHURCH AT MOKER'S HALF FALLS .- First subscription to raise mo- uey for the erection of this church was circulated in February, 1859. The building committee were Hon. Jonathan Weiser, president ; Jeremiah B. Hall, secretary; John M. Rine, Walter App and George Snyder. The corner-stone was laid -July 29, 1861, and the church was dedicated October 6, 1861. Rev. John II. Davidson was the first pastor. The first church council was installed May 10, 1862. J. B. Hall has been an elder in the church and superintendent of the Sunday-school since its organization,
PARADISE CHURCH, situated in the northern part of Chapman township, was built by the United Brethren denomination in the year 1851. The building committee were Henry Nerhood, George II. Shaffer, Daniel Swartz and Simon F. Herrold. It is a frame build- ing, thirty-five by forty feet, one story high. Membership, about seventy. William Reichen- bach decided half an acre to this church for one dollar. Rev. Eusebius Hlerschy was the first
United Brethren preacher in this locality, and the territory he explored in 1850, named "Susquehanna Mission," now embraces the three cirenits, Susquehamma, Freeburg and Middleburg.
There is an old grave-yard near Abel Her- rold's mill, in Chapman township, which con- tains many old, rough stones, marking graves, without any inscriptions. It is known as " Herrold's grave-yard." The Herrolls, Ar- nolds and other inhabitants are interred here. Some of the inscriptions show interments here in 1810. The oldest inhabitants have no ree. collection who was first buried here. It is conceded to be at least one hundred years old. It has recently been enlarged and cleared of briars, etc., and it is still used as a burying place. There are several fine tombstones and monuments in it that have been recently cree- ted.
M'KRE'S HALF FALLS !!
This beautiful little village is situated on the west bank of the Susquehanna River, eight miles above Liverpool and twelve miles below Selin's Grove. It was the first settlement along the Susquehanna River in what is now Snyder Connty. The place derived its name from Thomas MeKee, an Indian trader, who is first mentioned in this region of country in 1744. Hle was one of the party of traders who dis- covered the body of Jack Armstrong, who was murdered at what is now Monnt Union. He may have resided at this place at that time, but it is not certainly known. But upon the open- ing of the Land Office, in 1755, he took out a warrant, March 5, 1755, for a large tract of land at the month of Mahantango Creck, which extended along the river above and below, em- bracing the Half Falls. An Indian path ran across his plantation, which was later known as MeKee's Path. It extended from Shamokin to the Jumata, and touched the Susquehanna at the mouth of Mahantango, and crossed westerly to the month of Delaware Run, near Thomp- sontown. He soll the greater part of the tract south of the mouth of the creek, July 26, 1767, to Jacob Seerist, which later was paten-

lay, of seventy acres; and Klive, of eighty aeres (now Yeager's)- were included in his warrant. Thomas MeKce died at the place in 1772. One hundred and fifty acres of land above the Half Falls tract was sold to Rudolph Simelzer, August 7, 1766, and returned to The first store house was built about the year 1822 by John Walls and Paul Geddes, both of whom are now aged citizens of Lewishurgh, the former having been associate judge of Union Michael Witmer, who had purchased lands also below the mouth of the creek and on which the Weiser mill now stands. It is stated that Peter Shaffer came to the place abont 1765, County and State Senator. They engaged in and located for the purpose of hunting and fishing. Ilis stay was not long, as the roaring of the falls prevented him from hearing his "cow bells," and the offensive odor caused by the de- composition of dead shad accumulating along the shore made the place particularly objection- able to this fastidious gentleman. George D. Shafer and Simon Hier, both aged citizens of Chapman township, are his grandsons.
Michael Witmer died before 1790. His son John came into possession of the mill property, now in Susquehanna township, Jimiata Comity, and his son Abraham settled permanently upon the north side of the creek, and constructed the stone building situated on the bank of the canal, now an old dilapidated structure. He died about 1835. His remains, with those of his wife, are buried in the small space of ground in the rear of the store-house now occupied hy Ulsh & Brandt. Abraham Witmer, of Port Trevorton, is a descendant of Michael Witmer. A sketch of part of the MeKee and Witmer lands will be found in the history of Susque- hanna township, Juniata County .. The old stone house was for many years used as a tay- orn, once famous as a stopping-place for raft- men and traders along the river. It was kept
I Two warrants, dated August 12, 1762, were issued to Thomas McKee, and a patent granted to Lim Angust 18, 1767, for four hundred and sixty-uine and one-half acres of land, situated in Mahanoy township, Northumberland County, namned " Fellowship." Alexander McKee, admin- istrator of the estate of Thomas MeKee, deceased, by an order of the Orphans' Court of Northumberland County, by deed dated September 23, 1773, sold the above Tract, " Fellowship," to William Dunbar, of fort Pitt, ele This knot lies opposite Mckee's Half Falls, on the east side of the river, and the town of Georgetown is located upon it.
the mercantile business for several years, during which time the Pennsylvania Canal was in course of construction. Jonathan Walls after- wards purchased the store from his brother, Judge John Walls, and continued in business for a period of about twenty years, His snc- cessor was Samuel Young. In the year 1845 Philip Hilbish, the present owner of the brick hotel building and farm adjoining McKee's Half' Falls, settled here, built a store-house on the canal and engaged in the mercantile business for a period of five years, when he sold out to Lewis Jacobs, who afterwards appointed assign- ees, and was succeeded by Heury Backus, who came from Middleburg aud rented both hotel and store of P. Hilbish in 1852.
In 1848 Philip Hilbish purchased the land at MeKee's from the heirs of Abraham Witmer, and several years after built a handsome, capa- cious brick house, which he kept for a hotel for a period of three years, then occupied it as a dwelling-house until 1868, when he changed his residence to Selin's Grove. Ever since the building has been occupied as a hotel. It is extensively patronized by the " traveling peo- ple," and during the warm summer months is converted into a summer resort, for which it is well adapted and patronized.
In 1855 the store again changed into the hands of Philip Hilbish and S. & W. C. Thompson. After four years' business the Thompsons sold out their interest to P. Ililbish, who continued the business again for a number of years. In the year 1862, II. M. Freed, now an active merchant of Liverpool, purchased the store of P. Hilhish, continuing business for several years. Jacob West was his successor

for two years, when he died, and Henry W. Simman, now of Shamokin, took charge of the store for one year. He was succeeded by E. G. Sheaffer, now an enterprising merchant of Ori- ental, who shortly after sold his half-interest to William P. Hilbish, at present an attorney-at- law at Sunbury. They continued in partner- ship for several years, when the former sold his interest to Mr. Hilbish, who, after several years' business, took in as a partner, in the year 1881, A. H. Ulsh, of Perry County. Subse- quently the firm changed to Ulsh & Brandt, which name it still retains.
Between the years 1822 and 1829 there were eleven post-offices in Union County (now com- prising Union and Snyder Counties), and Me- Kee's Half Falls was one of them. During the spring floods from seven to twelve hundred rafts pass over the falls. This is one of the main points along the river for the raftsmen to tie up for the night and stormy weather. It is the terminns of a " day's " run.
The Pennsylvania Canal runs through the place and affords employment to many of its inhabitants in the village and surrounding hog-are transported across this ferry and taken
country. About forty canal-boats belong to this place or level, giving employment to one hundred and twenty men, and to transport these boats, with their contents, one hundred ferried to and from the freight-office of the and twenty mules are required. The principal ; traffic is coal, shipped from Nanticoke, by the Susquehanna Coal Company, to their wharves at " Ohio Wharf" (the month of the Juniata), Columbia, Havre-de-Grace, Baltimore, Phila- delphia and New York, and to intermediate points to supply the local dealers. Lumber is also boated from Williamsport and Lock Haven, though its transportation is becoming less each year. Railroad ties and bark are boated from here in considerable quantities.
There are two stores in the place, doing an extensive business. These old "stands" are known all along the river as Rine's store and Ililbish's store. The former is kept by John S. Rine, son of John M. Rine, who was his son's predecessor, and amassed a large fortune in the business, being estimated the wealthiest citizen in the county. The latter is kept by Ulsh & Brandt, Formerly of Perry County, Pa.
These firms buy and ship on an average thirty thousand railroad ties and seven hundred ton- of bark annually, and dispose of about two thousand tons of coal per year. This place is the chief centre and outlet for the country lying back of here, including Meiserville, Fremont and Richfield and a densely populated agrienl- tural district.
The ferry over the Susquehanna at this place connects with Georgetown, Northinnberland County, a town on Northern Central Railway, on the opposite side of the stream. It was legally chartered by the commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania in the year 1872, and the exclusive right and privilege for ferrying was granted to Philip Ifilbish, formerly of this place, now a resident of Selin's Grove, and Martin K. Bachman, of Georgetown, Northinnberland County. Since its existence it has been in successful operation, being the only point having access to the railroad, and passengers desiring to travel by rail mist cross over with the ferry to the Northern Cen- tral Railway depot at Georgetown. Con-ider- able live stock -- such assheep, cattle, horses and to the coal regions of Northumberland and Schuylkill Counties. About three hundred and sixty-five tons of merchandise are annually Northern Central Railway at Georgetown, this being the only point by which the various mercantile stores in this and neighboring local- ities receive their merchandise.
