poor for Beaver township. Of the brothers of Mr. Sowers it may be noted that Benjamin was the father of Philip Sowers, now at Sum- merville, and that Henry was a resident of near Shannondale at the time of his death, one of his daughters being now the wife of John Huber, of that locality. Of the children of Jonas and Salome Sowers only two daugh- ters attained to maturity, and Mrs. Shaffer is the elder. The younger, Christina, became the wife of Samuel Huffman, and resides on the farm in Oliver township given them by her father.
After his marriage Adam F. Shaffer prac- tically assumed the major part of the work on the Sowers homestead, and by heritage his wife came into possession of eighty-four acres of it. All the land is available for cultivation and Mr. Shaffer gives his attention to diversified agriculture and the raising of good live stock. He is loyal in supporting measures advanced for the general good and has served nine years as school director. He is a Democrat, as was also Mr. Sowers, and he holds membership in the Reformed Church at Worthville, his wife being a communicant of the Berkhouse Luth- eran Church.
Of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Shaffer the eldest is Ellen, whose husband, Daniel Spare. is a sawmill operator in Beaver town- ship; Clara is the wife of David Johns, a farmer in Clarion county, not far distant from Summerville : Agnes is the wife of Vern Reitz, a farmer of Beaver township; Sadie is Mrs. Elmer Sowers, whose father. Benjamin Sow- ers. was a brother of Jonas: Anna remains at home: Lizzie married Harvey Yeany, a farmer near Cliff Church, Beaver township; Mary is the wife of John Geist, a farmer near Worthville.
WILLIAM STEFFY is one of the vener- able and honored sons of Jefferson county and to his enterprise and public spirit has been due the development of beautiful Greenwood cemetery, at Punxsutawney, of which he is the owner and to its maintenance gives the major part of his time.
Mr. Steffy was born in Bell township Sept. 8, 1836. His father, Samuel Steffy, a shoe- maker and farmer, was born in Rockingham county, Va., in 1792, and was of German lineage. This sterling pioneer came to Jeffer- son county in 1822 and settled in what is now Bell township. In the midst of the forest wilds he erected a primitive log house and labored early and late in reclaiming his land to the uses of cultivation. He thus was concerned
closely also with lumbering operations and was one of the resolute and resourceful men who pushed forward the advance of civiliza- tion in this section. As a lumberman he piloted the first raft of logs sent from the up- per source of Mahoning creek, and he was ven- erable in years at the time of his death, in 1875. His father, Philip Steffy, for his first wife married Mary Bowers, a daughter of John and Elizabeth Bowers, the former a native of Germany and the latter of Virginia. Mrs. Steffy was but thirty years of age at the time of her death, in 1823, shortly after the removal to Jefferson county, and her remains rest beside those of her husband in Mount Pleasant cemetery. For his second wife Samuel Steffy took Ann Cook, of Shippens- burg, Cumberland Co., Pa., who was some- what more than sixty years of age at the time of her death. The children of the first mar- riage were: Elizabeth, wife of John Corey, of Punxsutawney; Lena became the wife of Isaac C. Jordan, both deceased ; John died in Kansas ; and Simon, a veteran of the Civil war, was captured and died in Libby prison, Rich- mond, Va. Of the children of the second marriage Mary became the wife of William Yost, of Millville, and survived him a number of years ; William is a resident of Punxsutaw ney; Maria is the wife of Angus Miller, a farmer in Virginia; Joseph and Anna are de- ceased. Samuel Steffy was a Democrat in politics and his religious faith was that of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
William Steffy is indebted to the pioneer schools of Jefferson county for his early edu- cational discipline and continued with his father in farming and lumbering until he at- tained the age of twenty-three years, when he engaged for himself in the same lines of pro- ductive activity. He soon purchased a part of his father's home farm, in Bell township, and there he continued his enterprises until 1885, when he sold the property and purchased the Judge St. Clair farm, in the same township. On this place he began in 1904 the development of Greenwood cemetery as platted containing five acres and about three hundred interments have been made on the attractive burial spot. Mr. Steffy has been a resident of Punxsutaw ney since 1899, and his pleasant home is on Dunlap avenue. He is a stanch Democrat and served many years as overseer of the poor for Bell township, besides having filled the office of township supervisor. He and his family hold the faith of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
In 1862 was solemnized the marriage of Mr.

Steffy to Margaret O'Neal, daughter of Henry O'Neal, of this county, and of their children all are living except the sixth, Julia. The names of the surviving children are: Jane, Martha, Simon, David B., Minnie, Samuel. Clara, J. Bert and Mabel.
HARRY W. WEAVER is the owner of one of the well improved farms of Bell township, where he is a justice of the peace. His grand- father. George Adam Weaver, was born and reared in Germany, and his grandmother was Eleanora Schoch, of Bavaria. Soon after landing in New York City in 1826, they pro- ceeded to Clearfield county, Pa., whence they came to Jefferson county and settled in that part of Young township that is now Bell town- ship, about a mile above the present village of Big Run. He began the reclamation of a farm from the forest and continued his ac- tivities as a farmer and lumberman for many years, his strong hold upon popular confidence and esteem having been manifest in his being called upon to serve in various township offices. About three years prior to his death he re- moved to Troutville, Clearfield county, and died on the 25th of February, 1875. after hav- ing attained to the psalmist's span of three score years and ten. His widow died at the age of seventy-eight, in 1885. The old home- stead is now owned by their grandson, Philip S. Weaver, of Punxsutawney. They had two children born in Germany: Henry L., born in Germany and who married Elizabeth Korp, died in Ohio. Barbara, widow of Henry Zim- merman, resides near Troutville, Brady town- ship, Clearfield county. Andrew. born in America, and his wife, Caroline (Knarr), died in Clearfield county, as did Peter; his wife Elizabeth (Piffer) is now living at DuBois. Adam married Susannah Grube and both are deceased. Susannah. Adam's twin sister, is the widow of Jacob Edinger, of DuBois. Elizabeth is the wife of Samuel G. Kuntz, of Troutville, Clearfield county. George S. completes the family.
George S. Weaver was born near Big Run on the 6th of October, 1839. and grew to adult age on the pioneer farm, profiting by the advantages afforded in the somewhat primitive schools. In 1866 he purchased ninety acres in Bell township, nearly all cov- ered with a heavy growth of pine, hemlock and hardwood. He became associated with lumbering enterprises, becoming a prominent figure in this line of business. He erected on his farm a saw and shingle mill, installing, in 1883. a circular saw and steam power. cutting
in one season three hundred thousand feet of lumber. He continued an active connection with its operation until 1905, his son Amos O. succeeding to and having active manage- ment of the old homestead. Since February, 1910. he has lived in well earned retirement at Big Run. He was justice of the peace, constable and tax collector for Bell township, and is now a justice of the peace and jury com- missioner. He served as assessor five terms, as auditor three terms, was supervisor and school director. He is a stalwart Democrat. and his sterling integrity and mature judgment have often made him adviser and counselor for his neighbors. He has long been an active communicant of the Lutheran Church.
On the 12th of June, 1866, he married Cath- erine Snyder, daughter of John A. and Caro- line (Wilhelm) Snyder, well known pioneers of Indiana county. Mrs. Weaver, a gracious and noble woman, died on the 5th of December. 1905. and her remains rest at Mount Zion. The surviving children are Harry W., Clara, wife of George W. Weiss, of Gaskill town- ship; Mary Ella is the wife of John W. Marshall, of DuBois; Anna married Harry Barto, of Young township ; Amos O. owns and resides upon his father's homestead; Cora B. is the wife of Simon A. Pifer, of McCalmont township.
Mr. Weaver's second wife was Charlotte ( Pifer) Smith, widow of William Smith and daughter of the late George Pifer, of Hender- son township.
HARRY W. WEAVER was born on the old homestead April 12. 1867. He acquired his carly education in the public schools and as a lad associated with his father in farming and lumbering. He finally purchased eighty-five acres of his father and developed a fine farm, all the buildings, which are modern, having been erected by him. He still continues lum- bering and is thoroughly representative, hav- ing a circle of friends coextensive with his acquaintances. He is a stalwart Democrat. In 1901-02, at the age of twenty-five, he was elected justice of the peace for a term of five years, and is serving a fourth consecutive term. He and his wife are active members of Mount Zion Lutheran Church. He is a past noble grand of Mahoning Lodge, No. 924, I. O. O. F., at Big Run, and is past chancellor of Big Run Lodge. No. 47, Knights of Pythias.
On July 3. 1891, he married Florence M. Grube, daughter of John H. and Louisa (Daugherty) Grube, of Bell township. They have nine children: Blanche, wife of Muir Hogan, of Bell township; Rosa, wife of Glenn

ISAAC S. MITCHELL. a prosperous and progressive farmer of Perry township, claims Jefferson county as the place of his nativity. His own ability and well directed efforts have been the mediums through which he attained independence and definite success, as he early became dependent upon his own resources. He was denied more than the most limited of edu- cational advantages, his attendance in school covering not more than five years; but this handicap was later overcome by an alert men- tality and powers of absorption and assimila- tion through contact with and observation of practical business affairs.
Mr. Mitchell was born in Beaver township, on the 20th of January, 1862, and is a son of John R. and Elizabeth ( Hughes) Mitchell, the former born at Mechanicsville, Clarion county, and the latter near Corsica, Jefferson county. He was of stanch Irish ancestry, the son of William Mitchell, formerly a farmer in West- moreland county. When "bleeding Kansas" needed sturdy supporters he answered its call and became an observer of border troubles, returning at the outbreak of the Civil war and settling on a farm in Beaver township. Later he removed to Clarion county, but passed his latter years at Kittanning, where he died in April, 1915, in his eighty-fourth year, his wife surviving only till the following July, being in her seventy-eighth year. She was a daughter of Thomas and Mary Hughes, of Scotch origin. Thomas Hughes early settled near Corsica, and developed a good farm and there he and his wife died. Four of their sons. Joseph, Thomas, William and Israel, became soldiers of the Civil war. Israel was captured and was long a prisoner in the famous stock- ade of Andersonville. He was finally ex- changed, but was so greatly exhausted by the hardships experienced that he died on the train bearing him home. Thomas was killed at Get- tysburg, and Joseph's arduous army experience left him a physical wreck. John R. Mitchell was a Republican in politics and both he and his wife were active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Of their nine children the first two died in infancy ; William S., born in Kansas, in 1859, is a resident of Kittanning ; Isaac S. was the next ; John R., born in 1866, is a prosperous farmer and contractor at Kit- tanning ; Annie, born in 1869, is the wife of Clark Barnett, a farmer of Young township; James, born in Clearfield county in 1872, died
in 1907; as did Charles, who was born in Armstrong county. in 1878; Rhoda, born in Armstrong county in 1883, is the wife of George Heitzenrider, of Vandergrift.
Isaac S. Mitchell early found employment in the coal mines. Finally he rented a farm in Clarion county, but in 1891 returned and purchased a farm belonging to the S. T. Means estate, comprising 1131/2 acres, in Perry town- ship. In 1895 he purchased the William Mc- Kee farm of 158 acres but later presented one hundred acres of it to his son Clarence. He is one of the successful farmers and has se- cure place in popular confidence and goodwill. His political allegiance is given to the Repub- lican party but he has had no ambition for public office, though he has served as school director. He is an Odd Fellow and member of the Knights of Pythias; his wife holds membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
On June 24, 1880, Mr. Mitchell married Sarah R. Hilliard, who was born in Clarion county, March 31, 1862, daughter of Jacob and Caroline (Shira) Hilliard, the widowed mother being a member of their home circle. Mr. Hilliard was a soldier in 1812 and became a farmer in Clarion county. Of their children only three are living: Calhoun, a resident of Wallaceton, Clearfield county ; Emma the wife of Lemuel Leonard, of Summerville, and Mrs. Mitchell.
The children of Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are : John, born in Clarion county, in ISSI, is an electrician in Punxsutawney ; he married Alda Gourley, and of their five children four are liv- ing, Leila, Isaac Gourley, Malvin and Max D. Odos, born in 1882, died at the age of thirteen. Clarence, born in Clarion county in 1884, is one of the progressive young farmers of Perry township; his first wife, Emma Weaver, died in 1911, and is survived by four children, Elsie, Glenn, Marie and Irene ; his second wife was Dora Mock, and their two children are Caro- line and Thomas. May, born in Clarion county in 1887, is the wife of King Lewis, of Perry township, and their four children are Helen, Dollie, Stephen and Sarah. Blanche died in childhood, as did Charles. Jay, born in 1896, married Blanche Lingenfelter. Paul, born in 1899, remains at home. Isaac died in infancy.
FRED E. WHELPLEY owns and occupies the old family homestead in Snyder township and is one of the respected residents of his section of the county, where his father set- tled many years ago. On the maternal side he is a grandson of Bennett Prindle, one of
672
JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
the pioneers of the township. Mr. Whelpley was born Dec. 6. 1866, on the place which is still his home, son of Elijah Whelpley and grandson of James Whelpley.
Fred E. Whelpley was educated in the old- fashioned school in the home neighborhood, now known as the Frost school, attending up to the age of seventeen years. Mattie Hutch- ison was his first teacher, and the building was an old frame structure. Here most of his train- ing was acquired in the winter season, though he was sometimes sent in the summer, but on the whole his advantages were fairly good for the time. After leaving school all his time was given to helping his father in the fields and woods tintil the family removed to Brockway- ville in the year 1892. when he learned the trade of stonemason. He followed that call- ing at Brockwayville for some time, and after his marriage settled on the home place, where he has since resided, dividing his time between agriculture and his trade. His conscientious work as a mason has brought steady demand for his services, and by diligent attention to the farm he has prospered in that line also, being one of the thrifty and well-to-do men of his locality, with a nice farm property much improved by his intelligent and unceasing care.
On Oct. 21. 1897, Mr. Whelpley was mar- ried to Martha Rebecca Hughes, a native of Clarion county, born Sept. 20, 1871, daughter of Thomas Jefferson Hughes and granddaugh- ter of Jefferson Hughes. Her father, a farmer. was born in Clarion county June 10. 1853, and his wife, Mary ( Barr), was a daughter of Robert and Catherine ( Lyle) Barr. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Hughes had five children : Robert A .. Catherine Ann, Charles Edward, Clara May and Martha Rebecca ( Mrs. Whelp- ley ), who was reared in Clarion county and re- ceived her education in the common schools.
Mr. and Mrs. Whelpley have had nine chil- dren, born as follows: Alice Marie, Aug. 2, 1808; Charles Norman, Sept. 28, 1900 : Emily Fay, Jan. 16, 1902; James Malcolm, Nov. 20, 1904: Annie May, Nov. 22, 1905; Helen Ver- nelia. Aug. 9. 1907; Glen E., Jan. 25, 1910; Thomas Dale. March 12, 1912 ; Bernice Leone, .April 4. 1916. James Malcolm died when five years old. Mrs. Whelpley is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Whelp- ley belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and is a Republican.
WILLIAM HARRY ZIMMERMAN occu- pies his father's old homestead in McCalmont township, a well cultivated and valuable farm lying six miles northeast of Punxsutawney
and eight miles south of Reynoldsville, upon which he has passed all his life. Father and son have been tilling this place for almost fifty years, the neat fields and substantial buildings betokening industry well directed and well re- warded.
Jacob and Louisa Zimmerman, grandpar- ents of the present owner, were Bavarians, coming to America in 1848 in the hope that the change would benefit his health. After a voy- age of thirty-five days, they proceeded from the landing place to Jefferson county, pur- chased fifty acres adjoining the present prop- erty of their grandson, William Harry, and there Jacob Zimmerman died eleven weeks later, at the age of fifty-four years. His wife survived him many years, passing away in 1865 at the age of sixty-three. Both were buried in the Rhodes graveyard. Their re- ligious connection was with the Reformed Church. Of their six children, Jacob died in Jefferson county ; Sarah married Frederick Hawk, and died in 1893; he also died many years ago; Henry ; Godfrey, retired farmer, at Troutville : Louisa died in 1805: Frederick, farmer and carpenter, resides at Sykesville.
Henry Zimmerman was born Aug. 1, 1834. in Bavaria, thus being in his fourteenth year when he accompanied his parents in their mi- gration. One year later he secured employ- ment with a neighboring farmer, with whom he continued eight years, working on the farm in the summer and in the woods during the winter. In those days it was a struggle to get a start, and it was some time before he secured a farm of his own. He made his first pur- chase of land in 1870, a tract of 160 acres ad- joining the home, paying down two hundred dollars of the price, which was eight hundred ; but it amounted to one thousand dollars before the finish, as the former owner, wishing to obtain a pair of oxen, took advantage of his inability to meet a certain payment and tried to force a sheriff's sale, although in this he was unsuccessful. However, in spite of this and other discouragements, he eventually found himself on the road to prosperity, and in time acquired two more farms, one in Hen- derson township, and one in Clearfield county. He continued to reside where he first settled until his death, March 22. 1906, living prac- tically retired for several years in the enjoy- ment of well earned leisure. A self-made man. and thoroughly appreciative of the change in his fortunes, he was zealous in promoting the general welfare, and was a good citizen in every sense. He served as school director, was
673
JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
a Democrat in political principles, and a Luth- eran in religion.
On April 3. 1872, Mr. Zimmerman was mar- ried, in Bell township, to Barbara Weaver, who was born May 5. 1832, in Bavaria, and survives him, now residing with her son David in Clearfield county. Five children were born to this union: Laura, Mrs. Daniel Schuch, near Troutville ; Susanna married John Noerr, a farmer and sawmill operator of McCalmont township; they have had six children, Ella, Clara. Carl, Lott, Clyde and Minnie; Henry M. is a resident of Henderson township and
is mentioned elsewhere; William Harry is next; David, also a farmer, married Lucy Rhodes. Mrs. Noerr, at Battle Hollow, and William Harry are the only members of this family still residing in McCalmont township. Mrs. Zimmerman is a daughter of George and Eleanora (Schuch) Weaver and grand- daughter of Henry Weaver, a farmer. Her parents came to America in 1834 and located near the present site of Troutville, remaining there five years. Then they lived for some years in Bell township, Jefferson county, re- turning to Troutville to spend their declining days in retirement. Mr. Weaver died in Jantt- ary, 1875. aged seventy years, and Mrs. Weaver in January, 1885, aged seventy-eight years. They were members of the Reformed Church, and he was a Democrat in political faith. The following children were born to them: Henry, a carpenter, located at Johns- town, Pa .; Barbara married Henry Zimmer- man; Andrew died at Penfield, Pa., in April, 1887: Peter died at DuBois. Pa., in August, 1887 : George. a farmer and sawmill operator, settled in Bell township, this county; Adam became a farmer in that township; Susanna married Jacob Edinger, deceased, who had a farm and gristmill near Luthersburg: Eliza- beth married Samuel Kuntz, and they settled at the Weaver homestead at Troutville, where he manufactured cider and operated a sawmill and chopmill.
William Harry Zimmerman was born Sept. 20. 1869, on the farm where he still resides, receiving all his education at the public school one mile distant. He was well trained to the arduous labor of clearing and the making of a farm and now has nearly one hundred acres under cultivation. The property comprises 155 acres at present, Highland Park, a popular summer resort. with an area of about two and a half acres, having been taken from it, as well as the right of way for the local inter- urban line. A seven-foot vein of coal lies be- neath the surface, and was sold some twenty-
six years ago, for fifty dollars an acre ; it has been worked from the tipple at Florence.
Mr. Zimmerman's father began all the im- provements, clearing the part now under cul- tivation, building the barn in 1879, and the house ten years later. Both have been remod- eled and roofed with slate. The present owner, who inherited the property, has been improv- ing the quality of the soil yearly by liming and the judicious use of various commercial fer- tilizers, and hay is one of his leading crops. He has been operating since he was twenty- one years old, his father having withdrawn from the more strenuous labors and he has continued the work on the same lines which his father followed so successfully. The lat- ter set out a good orchard shortly after settling and it has proved a valuable feature under proper care, being trimmed and tended regu- larly. Mr. Zimmerman has not participated in public affairs to any extent beyond the cast- ing of his ballot. He supports the Democratic party. He is a Lutheran in religious doctrine, holding membership in the Mount Zion Church in Bell township, which he serves as elder.
In 1891 Mr. Zimmerman married Lena Hol- lenbaugh, who was the same age, daughter of Michael and Catherine (Haas) Hollenbaugh, who moved from Ringgold township to Mc- Calmont township twenty-four years ago, and are still residing on their farm there. Mrs. Zimmerman died June 1, 1913, leaving two children : Milton Albert, who is employed in the Weaver grocery and market at Punxsu- tawney ; and Amos Otto, at home.
AUGUST RINGBLOOM has occupied his present farm in Snyder township since 1898, and most of its improvements are the result of his labors. His systematic methods and capable management have increased its pro- ductiveness materially, and the various build- ings are a credit to his enterprise and a sub- stantial evidence of prosperity. He has been a resident of Jefferson county ever since he came to the United States, in 1888, from Sweden, where he was born Aug. 28, 1857. His father. Louis Ringbloom, a farmer, lived and died in that country.
Mr. Ringbloom had such advantages as the public schools offered, and began to help with the farm work at an early age, following agri- culture there until he decided to come to Amer- ica. Landing at New York, he came directly to Crenshaw, Jefferson Co., Pa., and found work at the mines, enabling him soon to send for his wife and two children. In 1898 he returned to farming. for which his training
43
674
JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
and inclinations best adapted him, buying of F. A. Keyes eighty acres in Snyder township, upon which he has since made his home. It then bore little resemblance to its present fine condition, for he has erected a new residence and barn and equipped the place with all the conveniences for facilitating the work. His fine crops show the possibilities open to farm- ers in this section who are willing to cultivate the soil carefully and work untiringly. Mr. Ringbloom is a member of the Methodist Epis- copal Church at Lanes Mills; he votes the Republican ticket.
