Philip Sanders, in 1808, lived on the road from Lehighton to New Mahoning, where his son, John, How resides.
Jonathan Bachman is mentioned in 1808. ITis daughter married Thomas Beltz.
In the year 1842, when the township was erected and the first assessment-roll was made, the following persons' names appeared in connection with the prop- erties and pursuits here given :
John Ammon, clock-maker and trader.
Henry Arner, powder-mill and saw-mill.
John Betz, grist-mill.
Jacob Fenstenmacher, innkeeper.
Michael Garber, grist- and saw-mill.
David Heller, tan-yard.
Reuben Hagenbuch, innkeeper.
Christian Horn, innkeeper and butcher.
Alfred Havline, merchant- and powder-mill.
Morganroth & Hanline, merchants.
William Horn, teacher.
Abram Horn, innkeeper.
George Heilman, saw-mill.
Joli Kuntz, grist- and saw-mill.
Jacob Musselman, saw-mill.
Henry Notestine, saw-mill.

Stores-Mills .- The first store in the township outside of what is now the borough of Lehighton was opened by Thomas Walton before the year 1825 on the farm now owned by A. Reigel, a quarter of a mile east of the New Mahoning post-office. Ile also opened a hotel and blacksmith-shop. The store was soon after kept by Abraham Hanline, and later by - Hunsicker, and the hotel was abandoned.
About 1820, Henry Arner opened a shoe-factory on

the present farm of Ammon Arner to supply the miners at Summit Hill. Henry Bretnich learned his trade with Arner, and upon his retirement, in 1835, succceded to the business, and continued till 1855.
In 1832, Henry Arner and Abraham Hanline erected a powder-mill on the site of the present bone- and saw-mill of Anumon Arner. An explosion occurred in 1839 or 1840, which resulted in the destruction of the buildings. They were rebuilt, and on the 8th of June, 1841, another explosion took place, and Daniel Arner, a son of Henry Arner, and John Snyder, a brother of the present State representative, E. Il. Sny- der, were killed. The mill was again rebuilt, and run under the management of Jonas Fritz until 1854, when it was abandoned. Hanline & Morganroth erected a powder-mill after 1842 on the run where the bone-mill of David Kuntz now stands. This was run for many years by John Erb for the proprie- tors. An explosion occurred and one man was killed. It was rebuilt, and again exploded, killing two broth- ers, Kemerer, and wounding Emanuel Durmitzer, then one of the proprietors. These powder-mills gave employment to charcoal-burners, prominent among whom was Robert Blair, a Scotchman, who burned charcoal in the summer and taught school in the winter. He also had a cooper-shop, and em- ployed several men to make kegs. Gabriel Dilcher and David Miller were coopers and worked at the shop.
The first grist-mills erected in the limits of the township were at the Gnadenhutten Mission soon after the arrival of the Moravians, in 1746. After this the first one built was one on the site of what is known as the Heihnan Mill, which was built before the de- struction of the mission. It was owned by Nathan Hinkle. His name does not appear in 1781, and he ; probably abandoned his settlement. The next mill was built by Benjamin Gilbert, soon after 1775, upon the site of the Garber Mill of to-day. After its de- struction, in 1780, Capt. Joseph Longstreth purchased the property, in 1783, and rebuilt it. The property passed to D, and S. Kennedy, and from them to Sep- timus Hough, who sold it to the present owner.
The next mill of importance was erected by Chris- tian Klotz, in 1823, on the stream and by the site now occupied by Solomon Hoppes. The old mill is still standing. The present mill was built across the street about 1850, by the present owner. It was operated in 1842 by John Beltz.
In 1832, David Boyer, a native of Berks County, came to the township and established a gun-shop on the site of the present St. John's Church, where he manufactured gnus for three years. He removed to Orwigsburg. He married Hannah, a daughter of George Beck.
burial-place. The pastors who have served the Lu- theran congregation have been as follows: Rev. E. A. Bauer and W. H. Strauss, the last named being now in charge. The German Reformed have been served by the Rev. Charles Eichenberg and the Rev. Abraham Bartholomew ; the last mentioned now occu- pies the pulpit. The church is situated about a mile cast of New Mahoning, on the road leading from Le- highton up the valley.
Evangelical Church .- The Evangelical Church, situated in Mahoning township, is about half a mile east of New Mahoning. The edifice was erected in 1861. Prior to 1873 the church was supplied with preaching from ministers who were located at Weiss- port and other places. Since that year the ministers of the association at Lehighton have served the church, and have been as here given : Rev. A. F. Leopold, A. Krecker, D. B. Albright, B. J. Smoyer, and W. K. Wieand, the present pastor.
Beaver Run Methodist Episcopal Church .- A society of Methodists was organized into a church in the spring of 1881, and a church edifice was erected, at a cost of eight hundred dollars, on the road leading from Packerton to Tamaqua, about three miles west from Lehighton. It was dedicated on the 29th of January, 1882, and placed under the charge of the Rev. L. B. Hoffman.
Post-Offices .- A post-office was established, about 1850, at New Mahoning, with Tilghman Arner as postmaster. He was succeeded by John H. Arner, who is the present incumbent.
A post-office was established at Pleasant Corner, and later moved to the Freyman Hotel, where it is now kept by J. T. McDaniel.
Schools .- The first schools in the limits of the township were kept by the Moravians at the Gnaden- hütten Mission, between 1746 and 1755. About 1820 a log house was built on the site of the old mission, and used many years. It was in charge of the Mora- vians of Bethlehem. The site is now embraced in the limits of Lehighton borough. About 1823 schools were commenced in different parts of the township, and at Centre Square a lot of thirty acres was pur- chased for church and school purposes, about the year 1830, and placed in charge of trustees. A school- house was erected, and used many years; it is still standing, but unused. When it became necessary to rebuild, it was decided that the trustees could not give title to the board of school directors, and another lot was purchased and a school building erected in 1873. Of early teachers in the township, Isaac Har- leman, Samuel Dodson, and John Fulton taught while the old system was in vogue, and John Fulton was a teacher many years after the school law of 1834 was adopted. Harleman taught at Centre Square, and was succeeded by Fulton. Dodson taught be- tween Centre Square and Lehighton. About 1835- 36, Lewis laney, a native of the township, com-
Lutheran and German Reformed Churches .- This congregation was organized prior to 1850, and in that year erected the present church edifice. At the same time a lot adjoining was laid out for a I menced teaching at Pleasant Corner, and taught

several years. The school law was accepted by this township about 1840 .; the township was divided into districts. The school-houses that had been used were still continued, and where there were none in the limits of the district, school was held in buildings fitted up-either dwellings or shops-until a house was erected for the purpose. The district in which Lehighton was situated was made an independent dis- trict in 1866, and Packerton also became an inde- pendent district in 1872. The following districts arc now in the township :
District No. 2, Sendel's, is situated west from Le- highton. The school-house stands on the road from Lehighton to New Mahoning.
Distriet No. 3 is known as Pleasant Corner. The school is situated a little north of the hotel and on the. main road.
District No. 4, or New Mahoning, is situated in the eentre of the west end of the township. The school is situated nearly at the corners, at New Mahoning post-offee. The present building was erected in 1873.
District No. 5 is known as Centre Square, and em- braces the southwest corner of the township. The present school-house was built in 1873.
District No. 6 is known as Garber's. The school- house is situated on the road south of Mahoning Creek and near the Eagle Hotel.
District No. 7, known as Nishollow, is situated be- tween Mahoning Creek and the East Penn township- line. The school-house is on the valley road, in the west part of the district.
Distriet No. 8 is bounded by Lehigh River, East Penn township, District No. 7, and Lehighton bor- ough. The school-house is on the road that runs along the township-line.
Districts Nos. 10 and 11 embrace the territory of the north part of the township. The school-houses in each are placed about the eentre of the distriet, on the main road that runs along the base of the mountain.

Packerton' is situated on the Lehigh River, mid- way between Lehighton and Mauch Chunk. It was originally called Burlington. The owners of the soil prior to the great freshet of 1862 were engaged in small farming, Maueh Chunk furnishing a ready mar- ket for their products. The Beaver Meadow Railroad, passing through this place, extending as far down as Parryville, was built in 1837.
Asa Packer, projector and builder of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, bought the Beaver Meadow Rail- road extension from Mauch Chunk. Mauch Chunk was the shipping-point. After the great freshet the increasing coal tonnage of the Lehigh Valley Rail-

road demanded more room. Asa Packer therefore made large purchases of land at this point of George and Joli Dolon and others, with a view to making it the shipping-point for all coal passing east. A ear- shop, round-house, and forwarding office were built, additional tracks laid, and dwelling-houses for the employés were creeted. Shortly after this the name was changed to Packerton.
It is the central point of the Lehigh Valley Rail- road Company's immense coal traffic. The forward- ing department is located here in a commodious brick building ; also the weigh-scales, over which pass the entire tonnage east, reaching several million tons per annum. The car-shops, employing several hundred men, is an important feature. In the shops is some of the finest and most improved machinery in the country. Upon the accession of Harry E. Packer to the presidency of the Lehigh Valley Railroad great and much-needed improvements were made. The shipping-yard was enlarged, and is now one of the finest in the country. It will hold over three thou- sand loaded eoal-cars, and about the same number of empty cars. The approach to the upper end of the yard is of sufficient grade to permit the movement of loaded cars by gravity. A large bulk of the coal is weighed by night. The entire yard, about two miles in length, is illumined by the Metropolitan Electrie Light. Two large round-houses, to house sixty en- gines, and also a large machine-shop, are being pushed to completion. The population is between two and three hundred. The male portion find employment with the railroad company, some few on the Lehigh and Susquehanna Division of the Reading Railroad, which passes through the place. There are but few private residences, owned as follows: W. F. Brod- head, Levi Miller, Levi Krum, Alfred Vanscooter, John Fritzinger, Tilghman Remaly, Mrs. Luke Boy- lan, Charles Langkamerer, Jolm McGinn, and George Dolon. John C. Dolon, of Mauch Chunk, is a large real-estate owner, and has several tenant-houses.
A post-ofliee was established here, with the late M. W. Raudenbush as the first postmaster. Lyman Me- Daniel is the present inenmbent.
Packerton is an independent school and election district, and has a fine large brick school-house (the gift of Asa Packer), a Methodist Church (originally intended to be a Union Church), two stores, and a large hotel (owned by the present landlord, Leopold Myers). The population is made up of all creeds and nationalities, composing a law-abiding, Sabbath-ob- serving people, frugal, industrious, and, of course, cor- respondingly happy.
Centre Square is a settlement situated near the west end of the township, and not far from the line of East Penn township, and contains several dwell- ings, a store, school-house, and hotel. The property belonged to the Notestines, who settled there abont 1800. About 1845, Daniel Notestine and George Frey- man opened a store at the place, and later a hotel was
opened. The first sehool-house in the township (ex- cept the Moravian school) was built at this place about 1830. About 1852, George Freyman built a hotel on the road from Lehighton to New Mahoning, at the placed called Pleasant Corner. This he kept for sev- eral years. It is now in the possession of Francis Stueker, and is still kept as a hotel.
New Mahoning is a settlement that contains a few dwellings, a store kept by Ammon Arner, a post-office, a hotel kept by Stephen Fenstermacher, and a school- house. Business operations have been carried on to considerable extent in and near the settlement since 1819, an account of which has been given. The first hotel was opened by Jacob Fenstermacher in 1820. The store was kept many years by Tilghman Arner.
About the year 1835 a hotel was erected by Henry Freyman on the road from Tamaqua to Lehighton, and kept by him several years. He was succeeded respectively by Philip and James Ginter, and Jona- than Seidle. At present John T. McDaniel is the landlord.
CHAPTER XX.
PACKER TOWNSHIP.
Tinis township was erected from Lausanne in the year 1847. The only record that appears in the min- utes of Quarter Sessions is the following, March 24, 1847 : " In the matter of the application for a division of Lausanne township, the report of commissioners to be reeommitted to the commissioners." It appears from the above that a petition had been presented to the court and commissioners appointed, who had made a report that for some reason was not satisfac- tory. No further record is found; but on the 27th of March, 1848, John Foust is returned to the court as eonstable for Packer township, and from that time the township has been separate and distinct as Packer township. The territory embraces the land lying within a boundary drawn from the Lehigh River, at the mouth of Nesquehoning Creek, to the Schuylkill County line; thence along the line to Banks township ; along Banks township to the south- east corner of that township; from thence, in a south- easterly course, to the Lehigh River ; thence down the Lehigh River about two hundred rods to the place of beginning. Broad Mountain extends the entire length of the southern and middle portion of the township. The Quakake Valley extends through the township from north to south, and lies between Broad and Spring Mountains. It is watered by the Quakake Creek, which rises in the Spring Mountain, in the west part of Banks township, and flows eastward through the township and through Lehigh, and empties into Lehigh River at Penn Haven. The valley is well adapted to agricultural pursuits, and
-

contains many valuable farms. Spring Mountain lies in the north part of the township.
The Mahanoy Division of the Lehigh Valley Rail- road extends through the Quakake Valley, and there is a station near Hudsondale named Hartz, from Col. Jacob Hartz, who was an old settler at this locality, then one of the stopping-places between Wilkesbarre and Mauch Chunk. Over Spring Mountain, from Beaver Meadow and Broad Mountain to Mauch Chunk, a road also extends along the valley and from Hartz to Quakake. A plan of the village of Quakake was recorded in Northampton County records Oct. 7, 1831. It was given as bonnded by Branch Creek, Terapin Manor Lane, Turnpike Street, and Kelehner Lane. Elaborate maps were prepared, indueements were offered to purchasers, and a few lots were sold, but the project of founding a village was soon after abandoned.
An assessment-roll of Lausanne township, made in 1808, the year that township (which then embraced what is now Packer) was ereeted, contained the fol- lowing names of persons whose descendants are still living in this township: Daniel, Christopher, and Jacob Gerhard (all single men), Philip Hinkle, Fel- ton Hinkle (single), Jacob Hartz. The father of the Gerhards mentioned was an early settler, and left land to his sons, who at this time were living there, and where some of the sons of Daniel now reside. Daniel, in 1829, lived where his son, Solomon, now lives. He had six sons,-Benjamin, Jonas, Joel, Daniel, Solomon, and Reuben. Jonas, Solomon, and Daniel are yet living, -the two first in the township, the latter in Rush township adjoining, in Schuylkill County. Henry, a son of Daniel, owns the grist-mill near the Gerhard Station, on the Mahanoy Division of the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
Philip Hinkle lived near the Round Point, or Round Head, on land now owned by Daniel Faust. His sons were George, Philip, Reuben, and Jesse. Some of them are still living in the township.
Jacob Hartz settled on what was a little later the line of the Lehigh and Susquehanna turnpike, and built a house there. The road was chartered in 1804. and built about 1808, and Hartz soon after erected a tavern (now and for many years known as the Spring Mountain Honse). He kept it until about 1820, when he sold to George Kelehner, whose father, Jacob, was a resident in the township in 1808. Mr. Hartz then built a house near by, and lived there several years. He was a clock-maker. Some of his clocks are still in use in the county,-one belongs to Charles Nimson, one to the Dengler family (both of East Penn township), and one to a man in Mahoning township. Some time between 1830 and 1835, Jacob Hartz bought part of a tract of four hundred aeres (which belonged in 1801 to Matthias Gangwere and Abraham Sieber) a little southeast of where the Hud- sondale Station, on the Mahanoy Division of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, now stands, and on the Le-
high and Susquehanna turnpike. On this land he built a tavern (in later years known as the Swan), and kept it until his death, about the year 1852. The land is still in possession of his deseendants. The other portion of this tract belongs to S. W. Hudson. Col. Jacob Hartz was elected sheriff of Northampton County in 1829. He had eight children, -Jonas, Susan, Sarah (Mrs. Josiah Freese, of Altoona), Mary, Elizabeth, William, Abigail, and Hannah (Mrs. Wil- liam Biesel, of Weatherly). Jonas and William kept the tavern several years after their father's death. The sons of Jonas-Levi, Peter, and George-are living in the township, and Abram lives in Weath- erly. William died unmarried. The daughters- Susan, Mary, and Elizabeth-are unmarried, and reside at Weatherly.
John Wetzel was a resident of the township as early as 1812, and located on land now owned by his sons and grandsons. He had four sons-John, Valentine, Daniel, and David-and four daughters. The sons settled in the township, and David is still living. The daughters became the wives of Stephen Kerber, James Troy, Lewis Hettinger, and Philip Hinkle. A saw-mill was built many years ago on the property, on one of the streams tributary to Quakake Creek.
John Faust, a native of Bucks County, born in 1797, and still living, came to this township, then Lausanne, in April, 1829, with his wife and five chil- dren. He purchased two hundred acres of land, part of a large tract owned by Horter and Hepler. There was a log house on the place, in ruins. This was made habitable until he could build the present house, owned by John Bitner, who is a son-in-law. Here eight more children were born to them. Mrs. Faust died in 1864. Their children were Daniel, Catharine (Mrs. David Keller), Elizabeth ( Mrs. Sol- omon Rinker), Mary (Mrs. Peter Hartz), Caroline (Mrs. John Bitner). These are all living in the township. John lives at Audenried; Henry, at Mahanoy City ; and Edward, at Weatherly.
Ephraim Balliet eame to this township from Lu- zerne County about 1839 or 1840, and purchased two hundred aeres of land adjoining John Faust, and a part of the same traet of four hundred acres. Hle was elected justice of the peace in 1848, 1857, and 1862. He had two sons,-Solomon and Abram. Sol- omon died in early manhood, and Abram still lives in the township. Of his three daughters, Elizabeth, Caroline, and Mary, the former became the wife of Edward Faust, of Weatherly.
Matthias Gangwere was part owner of a tract of four hundred acres in 1801, near where Hudsondale Station now is. The name of Edward Gangwere ap- pears in 1849, but in 1883 the name is not on the as- sessment-roll. Samuel Gangwere was mentioned in 1808. Peter Rumble was also the possessor of a large traet in 1801, now the property of S. W. Hudson, whose foundry is upon it. His name appears in an assessment of 1849.

Samuel Powell also was warrantee of a large tract. He died before 1808, as in that year " Widow Powell" is assessed on real estate. The name has disappeared from the township. In addition to these, the Romigs, Steiners, Steels, and others eame into the township.
The assessment-roll of Packer township, made Feb. 26, 1849, the first after its erection, returns as follows : Real estate valuation, thirty-seven thousand eight lindred and eighty-seven dollars; money at interest, two thousand seven hundred and fifteen dollars; pleasure-earriages, one hundred and five dollars ; amount of valuation on professions, trades, and oecu- pations, etc., three thousand four hundred dollars ; number of taxable inhabitants, sixty-cight. William Hartz and Andrew Siegfried were tavern-keepers. The owners of real estate in the township at that time are here given : Ephraim Balliet, Jacob Boughert, John Faust, Daniel Faust, Henry Faust, Daniel Ger- hard, Jr., Daniel Gerhard, Sr., Benjamin Gerhard, Joel Gerhard, Jonas Gerhard, Joseph Jones, Henry Beatis, Edward Gangwere, Jonas Hartz, William Hartz, Philip Hinkle, Sr., Philip Hinkle, Jr., George Hinkle, Thomas and William Hart, William Sim- mers, F. Beatis, Jacob Weiss, Stephen Decatur, George and Benneville Keim, Charles Leivick, George Maek, Peter Rumble, Albright & Romick, Benjamin Romiek, Solomon Rinken, Daniel Steward, Peter Steel, Jolm Steiner, Andrew Potter, Richard Whirter, Samuel Wolf, Wolf & Balliet, Valentine Wetzel, James Washburn, Enoch Washburn, John Wetzel, Daniel Wetzel, John Wetzel, Jr., Michael Young, Reuben Young.
Below is given a synopsis of the assessment-roll of 1883, giving valuation, farmers, and professions.
