BEULAH UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH is situated on Byers' Run, in the northwestern part of the township. Its congregation was organized June 4, 1845. Its first pastor, Rev. William Conner, was born in Allegheny County, May 17, 1799, edu- cated at Jefferson College, and studied theology with the Rev. Alexander McCahan, licensed to preach April 14, 1886, by the Monongahela Presbytery, or- dained April 12, 1837, and installed at Beulah in 1850. Before that time there was stated supply preaching. He resigned in 1858, and died Sept. 24, 1864, when a member of the Blairsville and Cone- mangh. Presbytery. His successors were Revs. J. D. Walkinshaw, T. F. Boyd, and A. R. Rankin, present Incumbent. He was born in Washington County Oct. 15, 1828, and was the son of John Rankin, and grandson of, James Rankin, who, with James and David, were the three sons of James Rankin, who settled in Chester County in the middle of the last century. Rev. A. R. Rankin was educated at Wash- ington College, where he graduated in 1847, studied theology at Cannonsburg, was licensed to preach Oct. 2, 1851, ordained Aug. 17, 1852, and installed at Beulah and Murrysville June 10, 1879. He has been thirty years in the ministry, and his brother, Rev. James G. Rankin, an eminent clergyman, died Dec. 17, 1868. His mother was Miss Agnes Burns, and married his father in Washington County. The church elders are David Tallant, James Morrow, Richard McCall, and John Duff.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (PENN BOROUGH) was organized in the school-house by Revs. J. Davis, R. Caruthers, and J. A. Marshall, May 16, 1872, with fourteen members. Its first elders were R. A. Hope, L. B. Highberger, and W. H. Guthrie. Its first pas- tor was Rev. William Kain, called in June 18, 1873, and dismissed in October following, since which time it has had no regular pastor, but stated supply preaching.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH (PENN BOROUGH)

was the pioneer church of the town, and was erected in 1860 on a lot donated by J. H. Oliver, the founder of the place. It has no resident pastor, but is sup- plied from a distance.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH

was built in 1860, and is part of the circuit compris- ing Harrison City, Penn Station, Paintertown, and Manor Station, its present pastor, Rev. Ash, residing at the latter.

PENN BOROUGH.

This town is most eligibly located on the Pennsyl- vania Railroad, some six miles from Greensburg. It was laid out in 1859 by J. H. Oliver, on the south of the railroad, and by the Penn Gas-Coal Company shortly after on the north of the railroad.

George Loughner and J. F. Landis were here before the place was laid out, and are the persons who have resided here the longest time. The former was a coal- miner, and is now a very aged man. The first store was kept by Gustavus Storey, for whom J. F. Landis clerked five years. The second store was owned by James McHugh, and the third by J. F. Landis. The first postmaster was James McHugh, whose successors have been Cyrus Ludwick, George Buzzard, J. B. Lauffer, William Guthrie, and Isaac Wilson (the present incumbent). The first tavern was kept by Catherine Bowersmith, and the second by Robert McMinnis. The first resident physician was Dr. N. W. Brown, the second Dr. L. S. Claggett, whose suc- cessors have been Dr. J. W. B. Kamerer, Dr. L. Offutt (present practitioner). The town rapidly grew in business and population on the development of the coal-mines, which built up the place and made it what it is. The oldest person in town is the mother of George Bell, who was born in Prussia in 1790. The first justices of the peace here were John F. Landis and Jacob Bankart. The land on which the town was first laid out was purchased by J. H. Oliver, its founder, of Henry Kifer and the Penn Gas-Coal Company.

INCORPORATION AND OFFICERS.

Penn borough was incorporated in 1865. On May 16, 1865, at the current sessions of the Quarter Ses- sions Court, the petition of the inhabitants of that part of Penn township which included the residents of the village then known as Penn Station was pre- sented to the court and filed among the records of the

same. The necessary oath that the petitioners in- cluded the majority of the freeholders within the bounds of the proposed borough was made by J. F. Landis before Reuben Shrum, justice of the peace. On the same day the grand jury considered the peti- tion and returned it. Although there was a remon- strance, feebly signed, presented and filed some weeks later, the court on October the 19th, 1865, granted the prayer of the petitioners, and conferred on the in- habitants within the limits and boundaries designated the privileges of incorporation. It also appointed Friday, November the 2d, 1865, as the day on which to hold their first borough election, which was to be held at the house of Ralph Pratt; C. Smith was to give notice, Hiram Fisher was to be the judge, and 8. H. Boyd and Joachim Schults were to be the in- spectors. The borough was also at that time made a separate school district. On the 20th of November following the decree of the court was amended so that the annual elections of the borough should there- after be held at the school-house in the borough.

Since the date of its incorporation the burgesses 'have been Hiram Fisher (the first), James McMan- nis, L. B. Highberger, William Holmes, Joachim Schultz, John F.

HARRISON CITY AND MANOR STATION

are both growing towns, situated on Brush Run, and have mills, tanneries, and various other industries. Both have neat Methodist Episcopal Churches, with flourishing congregations. The Presbyterian Church at Harrison City was organized Oct. 6, 1856, by Rev. Drs. Samuel M. Farren and David Kirkpatrick, and Revs. William Edgar and J. C. Carson, with Elders John Larimer and Joseph Miller, after a sermon by Mr. Carson. The members were fourteen, with three elders. The house of worship was erected in 1859, and Rev. William Edgar, pastor at Murrysville, hav- ing frequently preached there before the congrega- tion, was released for half-time from Murrysville, April 11, 1860, and for that portion was installed at Harrison city. May 8th of that year Dr. Smith preached. Dr. McFarren charged the pastor, and J. C. Carson the people. April 8, 1865, he was re- leased from his whole charge.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

JOSIAH BRINKER.

Joseph Brinker is a native of Penn township, and was born Aug. 27, 1810. His life-work has been farm- ing. The high state of cultivation of his ancestral in- heritance and of the several farms added thereto by his patient toil bears witness that he has done his work well. His grandfather, Jacob Brinker, and his wife emigrated from Germany, and settled in

Northampton County, Pa. They moved westward, and located upon the farm where Josiah now resides when most of it was a wilderness and the country was chiefly inhabited by Indians. . Josiah's father, whose name also was Jacob, was then a youth of fifteen years. He was a farmer, and married Catharine Berlin, of Westmoreland County. He resided here until his death in 1846; Catharine died in 1885.

Josiah . Brinker was married first in 1838 to Anna Kistler, of his native county. They had nine chil- dren, five of whom grew to maturity. Those living are Jacob, Paul, Hiram, and Mary. Anna died in 1862, and in 1864 Josiah was married again to Mary E. Ament, of Westmoreland County. By this mar- riage there are two daughters, Sadie M. and Ida M.

While Mr. Brinker has always been diligent in business, he has not neglected his duties as a citizen. Whatever has contributed to promote the best inter- ests of the community in which he lives has always enlisted his support. In his youth he united with the German Reformed Church, of which organization he is a valued member.

ST. CLAIR TOWNSHIP.

THE territory now comprising St. Clair township was taken from Fairfield, and made a separate and distinct municipality in 1856. It received its name in honor of Gen. Arthur St. Clair, the Revolutionary hero and patriot, who after the close of the war of in- dependence resided in its vicinity.

The present boundaries of the township are: North by part of Indiana County, east by Laurel Hill, south by Fairfield township, and west by Conemaugh River. It is the smallest in territory in the county.

Its surface is generally hilly, but much of its soil is tolerably productive, particularly in the central part of the township. The main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad runs along the bank of the Conemaugh through to the township, with a depot at Nineveh (Verona post-office) and at New Florence. There are no mineral developments in the township, though stone and coal both exist under the surface. Its in- habitants are of the thrifty and industrious class, and keep the few acres of fertile land contained in its lim- its in a good state of cultivation.

NEW FLORENCE BOROUGH.

At the February sessions, 1865, the citizens of the village of New Florence prayed the court to grant

them corporate privileges. The grand jury passed on the petition on the 24th of February, 1865, and did not report adversely to the desire of the petition- ers, but it was held over by the court, and on the 27th of May, 1865, the report was by it set aside. It has been since incorporated.

The borough is pleasantly situated on the Cone- maugh River and Pennsylvania Railroad. It was laid out as a village by Judge Robert Given. The depot is centrally located in the place, and the rail- way runs through the borough east and west. The streets are neatly laid out. It contains several stores, hotels, and shops; has a foundry, woolen-mill, and three churches,-Methodist, Catholic, and United Presbyterian. Its population is over five hundred.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

SAMUEL PERSHING.

Samuel Pershing, of New Florence, was born May 6, 1833, in Indiana County, Pa., about three miles from his present home. He is of German descent, the third son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Hice) Per-

ching. His literary education was received in the common schools and Elder's Ridge Academy. A few years before he became of age he entered the store of Robert Johnson, of Armagh, Indiana Co., as a clerk, and followed this vocation until 1858, when he located in New Florence and engaged in merchan- dising for himself. He was married June 8th of the same year to Busan M. Covode, eldest daughter of George W. and Jane (Welshons) Covode. They have had several children. Their eldest son, Harvey Covode, died Dec. 15, 1867, aged eight years; the second, Charles M., died April 13, 1863, aged three years. Those living are Curtis M., Cora B., George C., Jennie O., and John R.

Mr. Pershing had no pecuniary start in life. By his own exertion, and the assistance of a most excel- lent wife, he accumulated his present ample fortune, which he little enjoys owing to his enfeebled condi- tion, resulting from disease and too close applica- tion to business. He has held all the important local offices usually intrusted to thorough-going business men. He early in life united with the Methodist Church, and as the Lord prospered him contributed liberally to its support. His active life has been one of usefulness to the community in which he has re- sided. He is respected by all who know him for his integrity, his industry, his devotion, his unselfishness, his charity.
