HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
Descendants of several brothers of Caspar Peters are living in the township. One of the brothers bad sons,-Joseph, John, George, William, Daniel, Henry, and John. The first named lived on the homestead, near Best's Station. He died March 9, 1876, at the age of eighty-one years, and left thirteen children, seventy-seven grandchildren, and forty-nine great- grandchildren. John Peters, brother of Joseph, died in 1881; Daniel settled near Millerstown; Henry settled at Freieblersville, and died there May 5, 1879, at the age of sixty-seven years. His sons were John, who settled at Lowhill, and Jacob, who removed to the West. Tilghman, a son of Jacob, lives on the homestead. The Rev. William J. Peters, of Slating- ton, is also a son of Jacob.
Dewald Peters lived on the Lehigh River. He died a number of years ago, leaving two sons, -Jonas, who is on the homestead, and Jacob, who resides in Slatington.
Henry Hoffman, who was from Switzerland, came here prior to 1749, for we find that in that year he procured a warrant for one hundred and eight acres of land. At various subsequent dates he took up other tracts until he had an aggregate of more than eight hundred acres. This land lay near Unionville, and adjoined that of Peters. Henry Hofbnan bad a son, Wilhelm, and others of whom little is known. HIe was born Jan. 14, 1749, and married Elizabeth Gerber, of Weissenberg, in 1770, when she was ouly thirteen years of age. They received a part of the homestead farm, on which they lived, near Union Church. He died there in 1824, and she in 1841. They left eight children,-Jonas, Daniel, Henry, Peter, Sally Ann, Elizabeth, Catharine, and Eve. Jonas settled and died upon the homestead farm, where his son, James, now lives. Another son, David, has long been deceased.
Daniel, brother of Jonas, removed to the West. Henry lived nearly all of his mature years near Unionville, and died there. David and Stephen both reside upon the old farm. Peter moved to Schuylkill County. Sally Ann (Mrs. Jonas Peters) and Eliza- beth ( Mrs, Heury Bare) removed to Luzerne County ; Catharine ( Mrs. Christian Holben ) removed to Seneca County, Ohio; Eve is the wife of Christian Troxell.
John Rachel obtained a warrant Feb. 10, 1755, for one hundred and twelve acres of land near the river, and about one mile and a half from the site of Sla- tington. How long he had been settled here prior to taking ont the warrant is not kuown. Adam Rachel was also in the townsbip in 1755. Caspar Peters mar- ried his sister. Jobn, Henry, and George Rachel were descendants of this family.
John Rober, a native of Würtemberg, settled in that part of Heidelberg which is now Washington, on what is at present known as the Hallenbach place. His son, John, a native of the township, was born in 1771, and died on the old homestead in 1858. Another son, Daniel, settled near the homestead, George removed
to the Susquehanna, and Philip located in White- hall.
The Rex family were among the earliest settlers of this township. They came originally from Germany, but had prior to their appearance here been for sev- eral years resident at Germantown. Locating in the northern part of Washington, along Trout Creek, they became in a short time the largest land-owners in that region. Jacob Rex, in 1752, built a stone house, which is still standing, and owned by Stephen Rex, son of George, and grandson of the builder. A stone set in the wall bears the inscription, " Anno 1752-J. R., M. S." He was born in 1724, married Elizabeth Ornerin May 16, 1746, lived in matrimony thirty-six years, and died in 1782, leaving eleven children, fifty- five grandebildren, and twelve great-grandebildren.
Wilhelm Fenstermacher at an early day took np land three miles southwest of Slatington, which is now owned by David Peter. At the time the canal navigation bill was before the Pennsylvania Legisla- ture Fenstermaeber was a member of that body. It is related that when he set out for the capital bis son took him in a private conveyance to Reading, where he first saw a genuine Concord stage-coach. When the stage rolled up at the door of the hotel dinner was anyouneed, and the tired travelers vacated the great vehicle. Fenstermacher, anxious not to be left, ate burriedly, and upon going to the door and finding the stage there, determined to secure a seat. He helped the driver stow away his baggage in the boot, and then looking around for an entrance to the coach could find none, except that offered by the open win- dow in the door. Nothing daunted, and supposing that the regular entrance, he erawled through it and seated himself. When the other passengers came out the driver turned the catch, the door was opened, and they entered much more easily than bad the member of the General Assembly from Lehigh, who, qnite astonished, exclaimed, " Dunner wetter, a door to a wagon !"
Fenstermacher was a man of affairs and a prominent citizen. Ile kept a hotel and carried on a distillery, was for many years a justice of the peace, and in 1812 was elected us one of the commissioners of Lehigh County. He had three sons,-John, Jacob, and Charles. John died upon the homestead farm, and Charles died near here, never having married. Jacob removed to Schuylkill County.
Peter Handwerk, one of the early pioneers of the township, located about six miles from the site of Slatington, on what afterwards became the line of the Berks County Railroad. The present owner of the farm is Martin Handwerk. Peter had three sons (Abraham, Martin, and Jouas) and two daughters, -- Mrs. Daniel Rex and Mrs. John Raber, both of whom now live in the township. Abraham, who set- tled on a part of the old homestead, died in 1865, leaving a family of eight children. Levi, John, and a daughter, Mrs. Susanna Banneger, are in Indiana ;

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.
Martin is living on the old homestead ; Jonas died in the township many years ago.
Michael Wehr, one of the old-time residents of Washington, lived about three miles from Slatington, on the Saegersville road, and died there about 1855, aged nearly eighty years. He was a descendant of Simon Wehr, who took ont a warrant for land as early as 1753. Michael has sons, Michael, Daniel, Wil- liam, Solomon, and Eli, and a daughter, who married Jonas Kern. Daniel retained his father's farm. Solo- mon is in Iowa, and Eli in Schuylkill County.
The Kunkle family was represented in the town- ship as early as 1769 by John and Michael. How much earlier they were here is not definitely known. George Kunkle lived at one time near the Lehigh Furnace, but moved to Chestnut Hill. Andreas Kunkle lived on the Lehigh Furnace road. He had two sons, Charles and Abraham, of whom the latter died young. Charles lived and died on his father's homestead. His son, Samuel, now resides in Slating- ton.
Henry Geiger settled here some time prior to 1765, and took out a land-warrant in that year. He had ! four sons,-Jonas, Jacob, John, and Henry. Jonas and Jof both settled in Heidelberg, but none of their descendants are now living there. Jacob removed to the West, and Henry located on the homestead farm, where his son, David, now lives. Another son, Henry, lives in Lowhill, Manuel in Heidelberg, and Lewis in this township.
Ambrose Remaly and George Remaly came from Germany about the year 1775. They were not brothers nor relatives. Ambrose Remaly settled where the old log house is yet to be seen upon Elias and Daniel Re- mały's farm, a short distance south of the borough of . Slatington, on the public road along the Lehigh River to Andrew's saw-mill or to Rockdale. Ambrose Re- maly took up two hundred and thirty-two acres of land. George Remaly settled where now Gabriel Kern's farm-house is, nearly south of the Slatington borough line, and took up two hundred acres or more of land.
Ambrose Remaly had two sons, -Jacob and John. Jacob had tive sons, Stephen, Charles, Jonas, David, and Adam Romaly. He also had four danghters, --- Susan, Polly, Lydia, and Carolina. John Remaly, son of Ambrose Remaly, had two sons and two i Remaly was married to an English woman by the
In 1850, Jacob George Remaly by deed sold to his oldest son, John Remaly, fifty acres of his farm, bounded by lands of George Kern, Jonas Kern, Jacob Remaly, Jacob George Remaly, George Was- sum, and George Kern. On this land John Remaly (son of Jacob George) built in 1850 the first house in Upper Slatington (at that time there was only one honse in Lower Slatington). Then John Remaly started the first hotel, now ealled the Slatington Hotel, and got the first license in Upper Slatington in January, 1851. He then commenced laying out lots and building houses, and so started the borough of Slatington. In 1862,-January 30,-John Remaly died, leaving a widow, two daughters -- Sarah A. (now married to J. C. Mack), Ellen A. (now married to G. T. Oplinger) -- and one son,-James, who died in 1872.

HISTORY OF LEILIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
1820 in the old mill which stood in the middle of the road at the end of the Trout Creek bridge. The next English school was opened in 1847 at the house of David and Charles Peters by George Reynhart, and was taught at a later period by Cochran Sterling, who received eight dollars per month and " boarded round." He had on the average eight pupils.
German schools were kept up regularly after 1812 (and probably for a considerable period prior to that date). Joseph Oberholtzen taught where the Friedens Church now is about 1837, and was followed by George Haley, Reynhart, Rhodes, and others.
The school law providing for free edueation passed the Legislature in 1834. Heidelberg, of which Wash- ! ington was then a part, voted against its acceptance year after year, and public opinion progressed so slowly that it was not until 1848 that it was accepted. By that time that portion of the law providing for annual appropriations from the county funds for the maintenance of schools in the accepting districts had been revoked, and the amount which had acenmulated for Heidelberg since 1834 was lost. Washington, on becoming a separate township, was divided into seven districts,-Friedens, the Furnace, Peter's, Bachman's (Rex's), and two in union with Heidelberg and White- hall.
In 1865 the township had eleven districts and six hundred and fifty-five pupils. By 1874 another dis- triet had been set off, making twelve. The number of pupils in that year was six hundred and seventy- eight.
There are now twelve districts, one or two of which contain two schools. The school-honses now in use are all good brick structures, about twenty-five by thirty-five feet, and costing on an average one thou- sand dollars each.
In Friedens District the old building was retained in use until the present substantial brick house was built in 1881.
In Newhart's District school was kept for many years in an old log building about half a mile from the present one, on land of Henry Peters. The new school-house was built in 1876.
Rex's District was supplied with a new and well- furnished building in 1872. The old school-house ; was abont a quarter of a mile from the present one, on land of Jacob Rex.
The old school-house in the Furnace District gave place to the present one in the summer of 1876.
The first school house in Peter's District was built in 1872, but being an inferior building was supplanted . factory now is. This was where Franklin got his with the present one in 1878. 1
In the Williamstown District a school came into existence as a result of the quarrying operations. 1 The first house, built there about twenty years ago, gave place to the present brick structure recently.
There have been three school-houses in the Lehigh Gap District. It was there that the pioneer peda- gogne Moyer, to whom allusion has already been
made, taught school in 1812. A fairly good frame building succeeded the one in which he taught, and in turn was supplanted by the present brick build- ing.
Slatedale District has two school-houses. Many years ago frame structures were built, which were ample for the needs of the few children of the neigh- borhood then, but as the development of the >late- quarries brought an influx of population, more room was demanded, and the present brick school-houses were erected in 1882.
Franklin District contains school-houses numbers 12 and 13, both built in 1876. Schools had formerly been kept in such rooms as the board could rent.
In the Renninger District the present school-house, built quite recently, was the first.
The school in the Remaly District (No. 11) was an outgrowth of the village of Friedensville. The present school-house was built in 1870.

Mills .- The first grist-mill within the present limits of Washington township is. thought to have been lo- cated on Trout Creek, near the site of Slatedale, and to have been built before the first of the Kern Mills, which stood where the ruins of the old saw-mill are, above Trout Creek Bridge. The second Kern Mill was built in the middle of the road, and the third and present one was erected in 1850, by Jonas Kern.
About 1860, George Krauss built an extensive grist- mill at Slatedale, on the site of the old one, but it was destroyed by fire in 1881, and has not been rebuilt. Another grist-mill was carried on near the saw-mill on the creek by Jonas Bloss.
A large grist-mill was built by --- Frantz, on a branch of Front Creek, about 1814. It became the property of Jacob Kuntz, and was sold by him to his : son, Tilghman Kuntz, and passed into the possession of the present proprietor, Mr. Oswald, abont 1873.
The first saw-mill was on Tront Creek, above the present Tront Creek Bridge, and was built before 1756, and subsequently removed to where the mantel-
timber sawed for Fort Allen. In 1844, George Kern, son of John, repaired the mill, and when ready to run, he wanted something to keep his accounts on. He went to the store of David and Charles Peter, who then kept a variety store, three miles from Slatington, to buy a slate. They had them to sell, but George thought forty-five cents " sicsaen zu hoch" (" too high"), and went home withont buying one, took an

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.
At present there are five saw-mills in the township. Thomas Weiss has a steam-power mill near Slatedale ; Jonas Bloss has one on Trout Creek ; Caspar Ilewitt & Co. operate one near the old Lehigh Furnace; Stephen Andrews has one below Slatington, on the Andrews.
Lehigh Furnace .- In 1826, Stephen Balliet and Samuel Helfrich purchased from Christian Snyder and Christian Bloss about twenty-five aeres of land, lying at the foot of the Blue Mountain, upon which in the same year they erected a furnace, the dimen- sions of which were : height, thirty feet ; bosh, (about) eight feet. It was " blown in" in the latter part of the summer of 1826, the ore used being brought by wag- ons from a bed in South Whitehall township owned by Messrs. Balliet & Helffrich, and now the property of the former's heirs. Mr. Helfrich died in 1830, and two years later his interest was purchased by Stephen Balliet, who operated the furnace until his death, in 1854, after which it was carried on by his heirs for several years, and sold by them to Cooper & Hewitt, of New York, who still own the property. It has been ont of blast for several years. The location for the furnace was chosen near the Blue Ridge because of the quantity of wood on the mountain for making charcoal. Other tracts of land adjoining were pur- ehased soon after the furnace was blown in. One Applebach was the first superintendent, but was soon sueceeded by Samuel Lewis ( now of Allentown), who conducted the business about four years, when Benja- min S. Levan (now of Coplay) took charge, and con- tinued till the death of Mr. Balliet, in January, 1854, when he became the superintendent of the Lehigh Valley Iron Company (now Coplay Iron Company ) at Coplay.
The Slate Interests .-- The most important industry in this township, after farming, is the quarrying of slate. An neconut of the first operations appears in the chapter upon Slatington, and we here give facts concerning the several quarries and companies or in- dividuals operating them.

This quarry, located on Trout Creek, eight off' a little, squared it, and hung it up as his account- slate, and used it three years before he knew he had slate on his ground. hundred feet west of the Lehigh Valley Railroad station at Slatington, was opened by George and Nelson Lobar in 1848, and when it became the prop- erty of the Lehigh Slate Company in 1868 it was val- ued at fifty thousand dollars. Robert McDowell has been superintendent from the first. It was here that Samuel Caskie eoneeived and put into practical use the idea of tunneling for slate. The quarry was Lehigh River, and near this is another owned by Elias ! about to be abandoned in 1860 on account of its
heavy top, when Mr. Caskie took the matter in charge and drove a tunnel, and as a consequence the market was supplied from this quarry for years with the very best quality of slate for mantels, blackboards, etc.
The Williams Quarry, on the railroad, four hundred feet north of the station at Slatington, was opened by David and Owen Williams in 1863. This quarry, which has been valued at one hundred thousand dol- lars, is now owned by Henry Fulmer, of Easton. It affords excellent school slate.
The Keystone, fifteen hundred feet north of Slating- ton Station, was opened by H. O. Wilson, J. Hoffinan, William Peters, L. C. Smith, and HI. J. Hankel in 1863. In 1868 the proprietors assumed the name of the Keystone Slate Company. The quarry, now val- ued at eighty-five thousand dollars, is owned by Dodson Brothers, and leased by Cassel & Co.
The Douglass Quarry, on Trout Creek, one-third of a mile west of Slatington Station, was opened by Robert McDowell in 1849, and in' 1868 was owned by Morgan Jones. It is now the property of Henry Kuntz and family, but is not worked.
Owen Jones and William Roberts, in 1845, opened on the west branch of Trout Creek, half a mile from the station, which was called the Welchtown Quarry. By 1868 the property had passed into the possession of Benjamin Kern, and was worked by R. R. Hughes & Co., under Mr. Hughes' superintendence. Mr. Kern now leases the property to John T. Roberts & Co., who work the quarry by tunneling.
The Franklin Quarry was opened subsequent to 1852, and purchased by Jones & Williams in 1867 for eighty-nine thousand dollars. The machinery here is propelled by a twenty-five horse-power engine.
The Eagle Quarry, three-fourths of a mile from Slatington, was opened in 1867, and Philip Woodring and Henry Kuntz soon became its proprietors.
The Lehigh Slate Company was chartered in 1854, and began business with a capital of one hundred and David Williams in 1869 opened a quarry two lum- dred yards from the Slatington Station, and erected a school-slate factory, in which he employed a twenty horse-power engine. He built also, in 1877, a school- slate and mantel-factory. fifty thousand dollars. The first quarry opened by this strong organization was the Washington. The Franklin was added soon afterwards, the Mantel in 1860, and the New Bangor in 1868. The company continned in business nutil 1881, when the property : The first derrick nsed in the slate-quarries was erected at the old Washington Quarry in 1857, by Charles Peters and Boas Housman. was sold to the Easton stockholders under the name of J. Hess & Co. It is now principally owned by Mr. Hess. Caskie & Emack are the present lessees of Stephen Daner in 1867 opened the Monitor Quarry, on the west branch of Tront Creek, three-fourths of Washington Quarry, and the Franklin, owned by the Williams estate, is leased to and operated by the firm ' a mile from Slatington Station.

ciated with him, under the name of the Monitor Slate Company. The quarry is not now worked.
The Madison, near the quarry just mentioned, was opened by J. Shifely, S. Daner, and D. Coward in 1867, but was sold the succeeding year to the Rochester Slate Company. Benjamin Kern now owns this and also the Monitor.
Bangor Quarry, on Trout Creek, half a mile from Slatington Station, was opened in 1867 by R. MeDow- ell. It was considered worth forty thousand dollars.
Washington Quarry, which has been heretofore mentioned, was also opened by R. MeDowell in the year 1848. It is now owned by James Hess, of Easton, and leased by Caskie & Emack.
Blue Vein Quarry, on Trout Creek, three-fifths of a mile from Slatington Depot, was opened by D. D. Jones, O. Saylor, and others in 1866. Two years later it was owned by the Blue Vein Slate Company, which was chartered with a capital of seventy-five thousand dollars, and was then considered worth fifty thousand dollars. It is now owned by Melchior H. Horn, and leased to William Siebert.
