EARLY REMINISCENCES.


[A former correspondent gives us the following memoranda of Harrisburg sixty years ago, which will prove interesting and entertaining to readers of Notes and Queries : ]


The population of Harrisburg prior to the construction of the Pennsylvania canal in 1829, and the Harrisburg and Lancaster railroad in 1837, was compara


tively a stationary onc; the changes gener- ally being those which occurred at the beginning of the State and county admin- istrations, all office holders then residing at Harrisburg with their families during their term of office. There were then no manufacturing companies with acts of in- corporation, of steam or water power, all trades being carried on by individual enter- prisc. The apprentice after having served his time, often started business in a small way in opposition to his former employer. Apprentices to the different trades were in demand, and boys from the country and town easily found positions suitable to their tastes. The principal articles manufactured here for the spring trade with lumbermen and flatboatmen, who made all their purchases here and at towns below this, were hats, tinware, clothing and rifles, in which a large busi- ness was donc.


Most of the household furniture was ordered during the fall and winter months by farmers in anticipation of the marriage of their daughters in the spring. These consisted of a corner cupboard, a kitchen dresser, bureau, tables, bedsteads and chairs; and in early times a spinning wheel and rcel. Thesc orders kept me- chanics busy during the winter.


Working hours were from daylight to dark, commencing in the long days bc- forc breakfast, and continuing after sup- per. Apprentices were required to work at night until 9 o'clock, the time begin- ning after the election on the second Tuesday of October, and ending in Mareh with the spring clection. As provisions and boarding were very cheap, the wages of journeymen were also low. Printers and skilled mechanics considered one dollar per day good wages.


Harrisburg in its early days was a small dull place with a population of from three to four thousand. Its lower boundary was at Paxtang street, the upper at South street, and the eastern at Meadow Lane, with its post, and rail, and pine board fences, between the road and the fine meadows, on which the rich men of the town madc hay and pastured their cows. These meadows ended at Paxtang Creek. Previous to the making of the canal and railroads, along the Lane large bank barns were erected to


133


Historical and Genealogical.


store the owners' crops from the meadows and their farms. One of these was lo- cated at the end of Chestnut street and belonged to David Hummel, one at the end of Mulberry street, owned by Christian Kunkel, who also had another one on the ground recently oc- cupied by the car company's saw mill stable; the other was at the foot of Rasp- berry alley, and belonged to George Hoyer. Jacob Ziegler and David Lingle owned the meadow on which the Penn'a railroad depot now is, It extended from Chestnut street to Market street in width, on which they had a large lumber yard, and it was here among piles of boards and plank that the late Rev. John Wine. brenner first preached after leaving the German Reformed church.


The land upon which the town was laid out was very uneven, having hills, hollows and marshes, one of which was in Market square. A stream of water flowed down between Market and Wal- nut streets, below Fourth street, into Paxtang creek, on which were located two distilleries, one of which was owned by John Stoner, now John Donner's property. A pump of excellent water stood in front, which was much used. It went by the name of Juliann Stoner's pump, John Stoner's daughter. The dis- tillery was at the rear of the lots. The ground now State, Tenth and Eleventh streets and where the basin of the eanal is, was covered with woods of fine large white oak, shellbark and other forest trees, and was a resort for wild pigeons, gray squirrels and other game.


Prior to 1840, there was a mesdow of eight acres on the east of Second street and Meadow Lane, formerly the property of Christian Kunkel, and later belonging to Thomas Elder, themiddle of which was low and marshy. In the winter it was covered with water, and when frozen made fineskating ice. The turnpike when made up Second street was filled up some eight feet above the meadow, along whichwas a post and rail fence, with large old willow trees growing. A mile stone was placed there, inscribed thereon "96 Miles to Phila." The turnpike ended at Second and Mulberry streets, and was kept in repair to that point by the company.


Before the building of the old Market


strect bridge in 1817 the business of the town was done on Front street below Chestnut and thence down to Paxtang street, drawn there by Harris's Ferry. After the completion of the bridge, busi- ness places changed to Front and Market streets and to Market square. Market street east of Third street was thinly built up, the houses being occupied by indifferent people, colored and white, with large vacant lots and gardens on the street. No change in improvement occurred until after 1838. Messis.


Holman & Simon had lum-


ber yard on the north block at the corner of Fourth and Market streets, which was burned with much other property in 1837-in August, I think. On the opposite or lower side they liad their carpenter shops, with circular saws and other machinery being driven by horse power. This establishment was also destroyed by fire, with the First Lutheran church and a brick school and lecture room building adjoining, in Octo- ber, 1838. The incendiary was a young girl in the employ of Mr. Simon, The fire occurred on a Sunday evening with a strong wind blowing. This part of the


town with the other unimproved


portions remained as they were


until after the year 18-40, when the people awoke from a much longer sieep than Rip Van Winkle did, as there were no important improvements after the State buildings were finished until the construction of the water works which comprised the erection of the pres- ent water house at the river and the old reservoir on North and Fourth streets, the Dauphin county prisen, John Havi- land, architect, and the new Presbyterian church on the site of the former one, on the corner of Second street and Cherry alley. The Prisbyterian church was a large edifice of pure Corinthian style, the architect being John Havi- land, and the builder and con ยท tractor, Peter Bernheisel. It occupied the site of the first church built in 1805. Ad- joining this latter structure was a lot of ground which the congregation at that time sold to Robert Sloan, who erected a three-story brick house on it. After his death, in 1833, his son Alexander pr.r- chased the property from the heirs for two


13.

thousand dollars. And when the congre- gation concluded to build a larger church they repurchased it from Alexander Sloan for 82,500, and included that additional ground in the new church property. The erection of all these improvements


at this time, induced hundreds of mechanics to remove here, who wanted houses, which were in great demand. Vacant acres, therefore, were laid out in building lots and sold to laboring men and mechanics, who hastily erected build- ings on them.


Labor was in demand and wages good, money being plentiful. The boroughi council at this period issued thousands of dollars in small notes nicely engraved and printed, of the denomination of twenty-five, fifty ceut and one dollar notes. These prosperous and speculative times continued until the winter of 1843 and 1844, when a crisis in money affairs took place with a general suspension ofspe- cic payments by the banks, and a refusal to discount. Many banks failed, ruining thousands of men and widows, who were in good circumstances before. Among the more prominent banks that failed was the old reliable Pennsylvania bank in Phila delphia with its branch in Harrisburg, James Lesley, cashier. Business men and all who were in debt could not meet their demands, and there were thousands of failures all over the country. To add to the distress here the State improve- ments were all completed and there was no employment for the large number of men. Those who had incurred debts when building, and had only paid part of the amount of the price of their lots, had them sold from them at a great sacrifice and were necessitated to abandon their houses and grounds, los- ing what money they had invested in them. The borough council had con- tracted a debt of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the erection of the water works, laying water pipe and mak- ing necessary improvements, which were required by the extension of new streets and alleys. As is the case with all finan- cial crisis, confidence was weakened and general distrust followed. The treas- urer of the borough had not the funds to pay debts which were due, nor the interest on the debt,


and suits were entered and levies made and executions issued on the prop- erty of the corporation, fire engines and eyen the safe of the treasurer were sold at public sale by creditors. The notes issucd depreciated one-third, and were only received for merchandise in a few stores, as few had the capital to hold them. Among the few storekeepers who received them was Hon. John C. Bucher, a gentleman of wealth, who kept a dry goods store on the south corner of Front and Market streets, who redcemed them at seventy-five cents for one dollar for merchandise, which was a great relief to those who held them. Thousands of dollars were redeemed in that way.


When confidence was restored and the crisis was over, the council issued bonds paying six per cent. to redeem the small notes previously issued, which enabled holders of the notes to fund them into bonds, which advanced to par, enabling those who purchascd them at a discount to make a good investment.


This was the second great financial crisis; the first was in 1837, when many persons were reduced to absolute pov- erty. The next was in 1857-the last occuring during the existence of the old State banks. * * The great crisis was in 1873, in November, and was caused by the over-plus construction of railroads and the manufacture of iron and other products. The last and great gen- eral failure was that of Jay Cooke & Co., which caused consternation and financial ruin all over the country and even in England. This crisis lasted over five years until confidence was restored. As an instance of the depressing effects of this crisis, it may be stated that Pennsyl- vania railrord stock, which had been up to fifty-three, fell to twenty six dollars per share, all other securities depreciating in proportion.

XXXV.


THE HARRISBURG DIRECTORY FOR 1884 .- We have been awaiting for some months the appearance of a notice of this work. Annually the citizens of Harris-


135


Historical and Genealogical.


burg are put to the necessity of sub- scribing for a new Directory of this city, until publishers with little regard for accuracy or faithfulness, have no donbt come to the belief that any thing is good enough for the State Capital. Per- chance there have been no one save our- selves who have given this matter an in- vestigation. By comparing that for 1884 with the previous year, it will be seen that the population of the city has sensi- bly decreased-when the records go to prove that during the year 1883 there have been added to the city a population of almost eight hundred. There were erected in 1883 nearly two hundred houses, all of which were occupied before the canvassers be- gan their work for the new Directory. There are no vacant houses in the city save those built the present season, there- fore it cannot be gainsaid that the dwell- ings erected in 1883 were filled by the occupants of houses remaining vacant in the spring of 1884. This is an unfair showing of onr city, and proves that the Directory as prepared the past two years is a fraud upon our citi- zens. The publisher himself has no doubt been deceived by his can vassers to whom he had delegated the duty of making the Directory thorough and complete. That this has not been done, we need only in- stance, that of twelve heads of families in one neighborhood, only ten of them are on the Directory, and yet they have lived in the locality for years, If this is the case in that referred to, how many such omissions are there all over the city. When the agent for the Directory called upon us early this season for some statis- ticalinformation which we cheerfully gave, we mentioned the fact that by the previ- ous comparison, there must be many omissions. His reply was that extraordi- nary care would be taken and that this defect be remedied. Unfortunately it has not, and taking up the cause of our citi- zens, we trust that before they sub- scribe to another City Directory, they will have the assurance that such will be per- fectly reliable in every particular. If a Directory is worth anything, it is only when it is complete as to a record of the inhabitants of a locality. W. H. E.


THE ENTERLINE FAMILY.


In the hope of securing additions to the record of this prominent family of the "Upper End," we give the following, gathered principally from the documents in possession of the county-the wills, assessment lists and administration ac- counts :


I. The Rev. JOHN MICHAEL ENTER . LINE, the ancestor of the family of that name, was a native of Bavaria, Ger- many, where he was born in the year 1726. He was educated at the University of Leipsic, and ordained to the ministry in 1751; He emigrated to America with his wife and family in 1768. We have no record as to his whereabouts from that time until 1771. In the latter year he be- came the pastor of Zion's Lutheran church at Hummelstown, where for a period of nine years he labored earnestly and zealously. On the 5th of June, 1780, the congregation of St. John's Lutheran church was organized in Lykens valley, and the Rev. Enterline called to its pas- torate. As we find that on the 16th of October, 1773, John Michael Enterline took up two hundred and fifty acres of land in the valley, it is more than prob- able that the congregation had been gath- ered together by him. For almost twenty years he was the devoted minister of that church, faithful and laborious to the end of his days. IIe died of paralysis on the 6th of March, 1800, in Lykens Valley, at the age of seventy four years. The Rev. Mr. Enterline married November 1, 1760, Anna Barbara -, a native of Bavaria, who died on February 15, 1782. Their children were:
