In April, 1851, Jacob Schantz purchased the prop- erty, and sold, in 1853, to Solomou Klein, who made some improvements at the mills, and sold, in 1862, to Samuel Stauffer, who has continued the same in co- partnership with his son, Henry Stauffer, -Stauffer & Son,-till date.
Heiler's grist- and saw-mill is situated in Lower Milford, on the Indian Creek, and in the Hosensack Valley, and on the public road leading from the vil- lage of Hosensaek to Herefordsville, in Berks County, and in a straight line one and a quarter miles from Hosensack. This mill was first built as a saw-mill by Jeremiah Krauss, between 1780 and 1790, and run by him until about 1807, when it was leased to Christo- pher and David Schubert, who constructed at this place the first clover-mill which was ever made about the same year (1807 or 1808). Farmers came from great distances to this mill with their clover-seed, and got it cleaned with satisfaction. Later, this property was purehased by Nathan Krauss (son of Jeremiah Krauss), who changed the clover-mill to an oil-mill, and ran the same for several years. He sold to George Carl, who continued the same, oil-mill and saw-mill, for a number of years, and was sold about the year 1860 to Jacob F. Heiler. The oil-mill was changed to a grist-mill, which was continued, besides the saw- mill (since it was in possession of Mr. Heiler), by Thomas Bitting, Nelson Weidner, Samuel Carl, etc. It is at present occupied by Charles Mangold as ten- ant. J. F. Heiler is still the owner.
Heist's (or Walter's) grist-mill is situated in Lower Milford, on Walter's Creek, and on the old publie road leading from the " King's high-road" to Allen- town, and about one mile west from Dillingersville. The land, one hundred and thirty-five acres, on which this mill is situated was purchased by Philip Walter, on June 18, 1789, from Andrew Reiser. . The mill was built by Walter in the year 1796 ( first a saw-mill and then a grist-mill), and was run by said Walter until his death (1812).

Limekilns .-- Limestone is abundant in the Hosen- sack Valley in Lower Milford, and also on the line between Lower Milford and Saucon (at Limeport), and on the line between Upper Milford and Lower Macungie, and on the line between Upper Milford and Hereford ( Berks Co.). When the first limekiln was erected I am not able to say. At first there was one on almost every farm. During the winter months the farmers hauled their limestone, many having to go a great distance to the quarry. They burned lime only for their own use.
About the year 1800, or previous to that year, there was a limekiln erceted by Abraham Schantz on his premises in the Hosensack Valley. Lime was first manufactured or burned by wood, and later with coal,
and sold to the farmers and builders. Later there were some other kilns erected by Abraham Schantz, and by his son, John Schantz, and still later by his sons, Joseph Schantz, Henry Schantz, Samuel Wein- berger, and others. At present there are seven or eight limekilns in Hosensack kept in operation every year, especially during the spring and fall season, by Solomon Schantz, Milton Schantz, Jonathan Fretz, ete. At Limeport there are a number of kilns kept in operation by Thomas K. Ott.
Creameries .- The Hosensack Creamery Company was organized and incorporated in December, 1879. The first officers of this incorporation were William Harrison Meehling, president ; Adam Krauss, seere- tary ; Reuben M. Roeder, treasurer.
In the following year, 1880, the company erected a building, with all the necessary machinery, in the village of Hosensack. The average supply of milk used in this creamery is over four thousand one hun- dred pounds per day. Out of that milk is made one hundred and thirty pounds of butter per day and three hundred and ten pounds of cheese. The pres- ent offieers are Samuel G. Carl, president ; William M. Roeder, secretary and superintendent; Soloman Schantz, treasurer.
Schuler's creamery is situated in Lower Milford, on the public road leading from Dillingersville to Steinsburg, and nearly two miles southeast from Dillingersville.

Dillingersville is a small village situated in Lower Milford township, and contains one hotel, one store, post-oflice, telegraph-office (of the Union Telegraph Company ), and seven dwelling-houses. It is located on Moser's or (later) Dillinger's Ridge, and on the public road leading from Zionsville, or from the old King's high-road to Spinnerstown, in Bucks County, and is nearly eleven miles southwest from Allentown. This place was first settled in the year 1735, by Mi- chael Moser, who inmigrated two years prior from the Palatinate to this country, coming to Philadel- phia, in the ship " Adventurer," with fifty-seven others of his friends and comrades, on Sept. 23, 1732. He settled in the year above mentioned at this place, and took up one hundred acres of land, on which the present village is located. He built his first house near a beautiful spring of clear water, and lived there about thirty years. He sold his property about the ; year 1765 to Bernhard Straub, who sold, 1773, to Peter Sehruler, who sold, 1788, to John Jacob Dillinger, who erected soon afterwards an oil-mill on the premises, and ran the same for about fifteen years. This oil- mill is still there, about one hundred rods east from Dillingersville. It was later rebuilt and changed to a dwelling-house, and for a number of years occupied by one of his daughters, Christina Dillinger. It is now in possession of Edward Reinhard, and is still in good condition. About the year 1800, John Dillin- ger, Jr., son of John Jacob Dillinger, established a country store on the premises, which they kept for about nine years.
Ou Dee. 5, 1803, John Jacob Dillinger died, and lelt five children, -two sons-John and Daniel-and three daughters,-who divided the property among themselves. On April 19, 1805, John Dillinger pur- chased ninety-seven acres and one hundred and four perches of the Dillingersville property from the heirs of John Jacob Dillinger, deceased. On Sept. 2, 1809, John Dillinger, Jr., sold all his property to Lorenz and Daniel Stahler for £1464 15x,, and removed to Philadelphia.
In the year 1810, Daniel Stahler established the first tavern in Dillingersville, and became the land- lord, and continued the same for seventeen years, until 1827. In 1827 the property was sold to Henry Stahler, who continued the hotel for two years, and sold, in 1829, to Hans Dillinger (or John Dillinger, 3d), who sold the same year to his son, Henry Dillinger (son- in-law of Daniel Stahler). From 1827 to 1829 the store was kept by Jacob Weber.
In the year 1830 a large stone hotel building was erected by Henry Dillinger, who became the landlord, and kept the hotel for a period of twenty-five years, until 1855, when he removed to Allentown. Ile was also the proprietor of the store for about seventeen years,-from 1829 to 1846. Since 1855 the hotel has been kept by the following landlords, viz .: Jesse Reichenbach, 1855-56; Christian Fischer, 1856-58; Edward Frey, 1858-61; George Neitz, 1861-63; Hiram Heil, 1863-64; Francis Buchecker, 186-1-65; Nathan Carl, 1865-68; E. S. Diefenderfer, 1868-82; Henry Acker, 1882-84; William Boyer, 1884.
In the year 1848 a large two-story stone dwelling- house, and in 1859 a large stone Swiss barn, and in 1860 a new frame store-house, were erected, all by Henry Dillinger.
In 1866, when Henry Dillinger died, all the real property was sold to F. T. Jobst. of Emaus, over one hundred and three aeres, for over eleven thousand three hundred dollars. He sold, 1867, the store prop- erty and eleven acres of land to Israel Larosch, and in 1869 the hotel property and eleven acres of land to E. S. Diefenderfer.
Since the time of John Dillinger, Jr. (1809), the store has been kept as follows, viz. : John Ruch, four years ; Charles & Jacob Weber, four years (1825-29) ; Henry Dillinger, seventeen years (1829-16) ; Jesse Zelmer, four years (1846-50) ; Erwin Burkhalter, four years (1851-56) ; Solomon Dillinger & Daniel J. Dillinger, two years (1856-58); William J. Eberhard, three years (1858-61) ; George Edelman, three years (1861-61) ; Wieand & Brother, one year (1564-65) ; John M. Schelly, two years ( 1866-68) ; Flores & Moyer, five years ( 1868-73) ; William M. Gehman, four years ( 1878-77) ; E. D. Reiter, four years (1877- 81) ; Henry W. Nuss, since 1881 (three years).
Since 1853 this village has always been used as the 1 polling-place of Lower Milford, and previous to the year 1853 (in which year Lower Milford was separated from Upper Milford) it was the polling-place of Upper Milford for over fifty years, but only for the fall election.
From 1812 until 1868 mails were carried to this post-office only once a week. First, every Thursday, by route from Fogelsvile to Trumbanersville (Bucks County ) and back, afterwards, by ronte, from Ma- cungie to North Wales (Montgomery County), every Friday, and back on Saturday. Later, from 1868 to : 1874, twice a week, on Wednesday and Friday. First I by route from Sumneytown (Montgomery County) to

Stahler's (later Dillingersville) Post-Office .- In the year 1812 there was a post-office established in the present village of Dillingersville, by the name of Staller's Post-Office, and Daniel Stahler was appointed postmaster. This was the first post-office in the lower part of the county of Lehigh. Daniel Stahler had been postmaster until 1827, when he sold the property to Henry Stahler and resigned the post-office, when Henry Stahler was appointed postmaster for two years, and resigned.
In 1829, Hans Dillinger purchased the hotel prop- erty, and his son, Henry Dillinger, son-in-law of Daniel Stahler, became postmaster the same year, and purchased also the property from his father, Hans Dil- linger, and conducted the post-office until about the year 1849, when it was discontinued for two years.
