LINDER. The Linder family has been represented for three generations at Orwigsburg in practically the same line of business, its founder, Michael Linder, having been a pioneer tailor at that place, where he was succeeded by his son, John Thomas Linder. The latter's son, E. Raymond Linder, is now in the clothing trade there, being one of the leading merchants in his line in southern Schuylkill county. Burd R. Linder, another son of John Thomas Linder, is the present postmaster at Orwigsburg. From the time of its estab- lishment here the Linder family has been represented among the most sub- stantial citizens of the community, members in every generation giving evidence of the qualities which command respect and confidence.


Michael Linder was born Dec. 18, 1795. followed tailoring throughout his active years, and died April 16, 1871. His wife, Elizabeth, born Feb. 3, 1797,

died Dec. 15, 1882. They are buried at Orwigsburg. This couple had the following named children : Catherine married Samuel Kimmel; Anna Maria married Elijah Reed; Sarah Ann married John Haesher, M. D .; Mary Ann married Charles Heimbach: Emma married Augustus Seiger ; Jolin Thomas is mentioned below ; Charles died at Pottsville, Pa. ; Alfred died at home.


John Thomas Linder was born Dec. 12, 1828, at Orwigsburg, where his life was spent. He learned the tailor's trade with his father, and after the latter's death succeeded him in the business, which he carried on with steady success throughout his active years. His wife, Elizabeth ( Rickert), was born Jan. 4, 1837, daughter of George and Amelia (Hammer) Rickert; her father, born Nov. 1, 1810, died April 7, 1895, and her mother died July 15, 1891, at the , age of seventy-six years. Mr. Linder died April 22, 1897, his wife surviving until Sept. 4, 1910, and they are buried at Orwigsburg. Their family consisted of seven children, namely : Mamie, wife of H. K. Moyer, is living at Amster- dam, N. Y .: Edith is married to John Weider, and living at Allentown, Pa. : Maude married J. C. Headman, and is living in New York City ; Prof. Albert is principal of the Mohegan Lake Military School, in New York State ; George is a well known merchant of Orwigsburg, Pa .; Burd R. is postmaster at Orwigs- burg, Pa. : E. Raymond is a merchant of Orwigsburg.


BURD R. LINDER, son of John Thomas Linder, was born Sept. 11, 1870, at Orwigsburg, where he obtained his education in the public schools. In his young manhood he was employed here with his father and brother, George. with whom he was associated until his appointment in 1898 as postmaster at Orwigsburg. He has been retained in that position continuously since, by reappointment every four years, a record of unbroken service which has been equally remarkable for the manner in which his duties have been performed. They have naturally increased considerably with the development of the bor- ough, and he has been thoroughly progressive in adapting himself to the new conditions and requirements, in appreciation of which his fellow citizens have retained him in the public service. Practically all his time is given to the work of the office. Socially he holds membership in several fraternal bodies, belonging to Schuylkill Lodge, No. 138, F. & A. M., the P. O. S. of A., and the Order of United American Mechanics. He is a member of the Reformed Church. Mr. Linder gives his political allegiance to the Republican party. By his marriage to Nora G. Albright Mr. Linder has a family of six chil- dren : Ralph, Froda, Mary, Martha, Elizabeth and Anna. Mrs. Linder's father, M. S. Albright, holds the office of steward at the Schuylkill County Almshouse.


E. RAYMOND LINDER, youngest son of the late John Thomas Linder, was born May 15, 1880, at Orwigsburg, and received his preparatory education in the public schools. He also took a course in the Mohegan Lake Military School in New York State, graduating in 1897, and has since been associated with business interests at Orwigsburg. He is engaged in business on his own account as a clothing merchant, and has one of the most popular establishments of the kind in the southern end of the county, carrying a fine stock of men's clothing and shoes, which attracts patronage from the most discriminating trade in this section. His wide-awake policy and up-to-date methods have received deserved recognition, and he is justly considered one of the mer- chants of Orwigsburg to whom the borough may look for the continued expansion of trade along modern lines. Mr. Linder has been an interested worker in various local activities, being a member of Schuylkill Lodge, No.

138, F. & A. M., of the I. O. O. F., Knights of Malta and the P. O. S. of A .; he was master of Schuylkill Lodge in 1913, when that body celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of its founding. An earnest member of St. John's Reformed Church, he has served as deacon, and is at present superintendent of the Sunday school. On political questions he is a Republican.


Mr. Linder married Jennie M. Kern, daughter of L. W. Kern, of Orwigs- burg, and they have had two children, Edgar Kern and Helen L.


DANIEL A. GREENAWALD has been a resident of Schuylkill Haven for several years, his business interests being at that point, but he belongs to a Berks county family of long standing, founded there several generations back. In Albany township, that county, are found many descendants of the emigrant Jacob Greenawalt, and in that locality at least one place, Greena- wald Station, perpetuates the name. It is variously spelled Greenawalt or Greenawald.


Jacob Greenawalt, born in Switzerland, came to America in 1738, and upon his arrival at Philadelphia was sold as a redemptioner to a man named Schuler. In 1741 he married Elizabeth Filhower, a native of Germany, then of Montgomery county, Pa. In 1742 he and his wife located in Weisenburg township, Northampton (now Lehigh) Co., Pa., where he claimed several hundred acres of land, upon which he erected a grist mill, oil mill and tanyard. He prospered at this place, where were born his six children, four sons and two daughters, namely: Jacob, Johannes, Abraham, George, Mrs. Grim and Mrs. Barbara Weise. All of these reared families of their own. The pioneer and his wife are buried at Ziegel's Church, while others of the family are interred at Seiberlingville, and some at Jacob's Church, Jacksonville, Lehigh county. The Greenawalts are a strong, robust and healthy race, and many have attained ripe old age.


Jacob Greenawalt, son of the pioneer, was born in 1751, and married Maria Stambauch. In 1784 he bought 142 acres of land from J. Sutter, in Greenwich township, and there he spent the remainder of his life, dying at this place in 1839, in his eighty-ninth year. He had built a tannery on his property, which he operated. In 1836 he sold this tract to his son Peter, who in 1884 sold it to his son Henry, the present owner. Jacob Greenawalt and his son Henry and daughter Barbara are buried at Becker's St. Peter's Church, in Richmond township, Berks county. To Jacob and Maria (Stambauch) Greenawalt were born four sons and five daughters, namely: Jacob, Henry, Christian, Peter, Elizabeth, Susanna, Sabina, Barbara and Maria.


Henry Greenawalt married Silben Bote, and they had eight children: Adam, Jacob, Charles (married Polly Dietrich), Nathan, Samuel, John (died in infancy), Henry and Polly (Nagel).


Nathan Greenawald is buried in Albany township, Berks county. He passed his life in that county, owning and operating a sawmill, and met an untimely death, being killed while yet a young man. He had children as follows: Henrietta, wife of James Seeder, living in Reading. Pa .; Anna, Mrs. Cornelius Machmer ; Kate, Mrs. Edw. Chalfant; Josephine, deceased, who was the wife of David Epler ; and Wilson.


Wilson Greenawald, son of Nathan, was born in Berks county, and is still living there, carrying on an extensive business in and around Hamburg as a painter. He has several men in his employ. To his marriage with Lavina Epler, daughter of Louis and Kate (Epler) Epler, have been born children

as follows : Daniel A .; Jonathan, who is at home; George, now at Port Clinton, Pa .; Katie, wife of Joseph Matz; and Nathan, of Palo Alto, Pennsyl- vania.


Daniel A. Greenawald was born July 23, 1874, at Hamburg, Berks Co., Pa. There he received the principal part of his education in the public schools, attending high school for two years, and he was afterwards a student at the Shissler business college, at Norristown, Pa. For a number of years he was in the employ of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company, begin- ning as a brakeman, and after one month in that position being promoted to fireman, in which capacity he continued for eighteen months. He then became an engineer, running between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, and was thus engaged for four years and six months. He was then in the employ of the Hamburg Brick Company, becoming superintendent of their plant within a short time, and he remained with the concern for about four years. Again he was engaged in railroading, running the engine from 1904 to November, 1907, since when he has been associated with the Schuylkill Pressed Brick Company. The works are located at Schuylkill Haven, Pa., where Mr. Greena- wald is stationed as superintendent, and he is also a stockholder in the con- cern. The officers are H. L. Daddow, of St. Clair, president, and John H. ' Ryon, of Pottsville, secretary and treasurer. The plant is a little above Schuylkill Haven, at the Halfway House, in North Manheim township, and the company has an office in the Pennsylvania National Bank building at Pottsville. The manufacturing and marketing are conducted along systematic lines and according to modern ideas, and the company has prospered accord- ingly. A man of recognized ability and worth, Mr. Greenawald deserves the high position he occupies among the substantial business men of Schuylkill Haven. He has numerous fraternal connections, holding membership in Page Lodge, No. 270, F. & A. M., of Schuylkill Haven, Mountain City Chap- ter, No. 196, R. A. M., of Pottsville, Reading Lodge of Perfection ( fourteenth degree), Philadelphia Consistory (thirty-second degree) and Rajah Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., of Reading ; besides his Masonic affiliations he belongs to Carroll Lodge, No. 120, I. O. O. F., at Schuylkill Haven; Washington Camp No. 78, P. O. S. of A., of Hamburg, Pa .; Arcadia Chamber, No. 20, Knights of Friendship, of Hamburg, and to the Royal Arcanum. His religious con- nection is with St. Michael's Reformed Church in Upper Bern township, Berks county.


Mr. Greenawald married Sallie Rentschler, daughter of Harry K. and Eliza (Wolf) Rentschler, and their home is at present in Schuylkill Haven. They have no children.


EDWARD W. GROSSER, photographer, of Ashland, Pa., has been established in his present line since 1896, and has a leading business in his section of Schuylkill county. His prosperity has been based upon the thorough satisfaction he has given his patrons, for he is progressive about keeping abreast of the times, and his work compares favorably with the output of the most reliable galleries.


George Grosser, his father, a native of Saxe-Meiningen, Germany, settled at Ashland, Schuylkill Co., Pa., and followed his trade of carpenter very suc- cessfully, having been a well trained mechanic. In 1872 he married at Ashland, for his second wife, Margaret Dorrer, who was born Nov. 19, 1848, at Gum- bertshoffa, Alsace-Lorraine, on the line between Germany and France, and


376


SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA


came to America in 1853 with her parents, Peter and Margaret (Myers) Dor- rer. Peter Dorrer was also born in Germany, on the French border. When he brought his family to America they landed at New York, and they soon located at North Branch, Sullivan county, that State, making their permanent home at that place. Mr. Dorrer was a carpenter by trade, following that calling, and also owned property and a farm near North Branch and between Youngsville and Liberty. He and his wife both died at North Branch. They were the parents of ten children, five of whom survive, Mrs. Grosser being the fourth; Magdalena is the wife of Frederick Hubbard, of North Branch, Sullivan county; Frederick also lives at that place; Philip also lives in Sul- livan county ; George is now on the old homestead.


George Grosser died in 1876, when his son Edward was an infant. The mother is still living at Ashland. Edward was the only child of this union. He has two half-brothers and a half-sister, children of his father's first marriage.


Edward W. Grosser was born at Ashland in 1875, and obtained his educa- tion in the common schools of that place. He began work at shoemaking, learning the trade, which he continued to follow until the fall of 1896, since when he has been engaged in his present line, photography. Beginning busi- ness on Centre street, he remained at his original location until 1910, after which he established himself at Eighth and Centre streets. In 1912 he pur- chased the business formerly conducted by Alexander J. Miller, which has widened his original field considerably, and removed to Miller's location. Mr. Grosser's high-class work has raised the standard of his profession in this section, for he prides himself on his familiarity with up-to-date methods and makes improvements in his supplies, facilities, etc., whenever possible. His business standing is excellent, and personally he commands the esteem of all his associates. He is well known as a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge and the Independent Order of Americans. In religious connection he is a member of the Presbyterian Church.


In 1912 Mr. Grosser was united in marriage with Ellen M. Hepler, a native of Pitman, this county, daughter of Henry and Hannah (Traub) Hep- ler. who still reside at that place. Mr. and Mrs. Grosser have two children, Margaret Elizabeth and George Henry.


ALBERT H. STEIGERWALT, of Sittler, Schuylkill county, is a busi- nes's man and farmer of substantial position in West Penn township, where all the members of the Steigerwalt family are highly respected. It was established in this section by his grandfather, Frederick Steigerwalt, who settled in the adjoining township of East Penn, in Carbon county, many years ago. He was a native of Germany, and a son of Carl Steigerwalt.


Frederick Steigerwalt came to America and settled in East Penn town- ship, Carbon Co., Pa., where he encountered the most primitive conditions, sleeping under the trees when he first came to the township, until he could make a home.

He was educated in that township and at the Lehighton high school, and worked with his father until he enlisted in the Union army, during the Civil war, becoming a member of Company A, 202d Regiment. When he returned from the army he went to Tamaqua, this county, and married there. He settled in East Penn town- ship, buying the homestead farm, which he operated until advancing years made it advisable for him to give up hard work. Then he built a home in Sittler and lived retired until his death. He learned the carpenter's trade, and followed it to some extent.


On Sept. 25, 1862, Mr. Steigerwalt married Priscilla Houser, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Wertman) Hlouser, and she survives him, residing at Andreas.

He served his township as school director, to which office he was elected on the Democratic ticket. By virtue of his Civil war service he was a member of the G. A. R., belonging to Bertolet Post at Lehighton.


Albert H. Steigerwalt was born in East Penn township, Carbon Co., Pa., Jan. 9, 1869, and received all his education in that township. He grew to manhood on the paternal farm, working with his father until twenty-one years old, when he started to learn the trade of saddler and harnessmaker, with P. O. Fritz, in Seipstown, Lehigh Co., Pa. After remaining there two years he went to Lehighton, Carbon county, and worked at his trade for one year, at the end of which he came to Sittler and opened the shop which he has conducted ever since. He is the owner of a small tract, sixteen acres and a few perches, of which there are eight and a half acres under cultivation, Mr. Steigerwalt operating this tract in connection with his harnessmaking business. Aside from business he is particularly active in religious work, being a Lutheran and a prominent member of the Ben-Salem Church in East Penn township, Carbon county, and present treasurer of that church. He has also filled the offices of trustee and deacon, and for twelve years was superin- tendent of the Sunday school. He has many friends among his fellow mem- bers in Washington Camp No. 615, P. O. S. of A., of Sittler (of which he is past president ), and Lehighton Commandery, Knights of Malta. In politics he is identified with the Democratic party.

Returning to her home in West Penn township, she was married, as already mentioned. She is a member of the Ben-Salem Reformed Church, in East Penn township, Carbon county.


Daniel Gerber, grandfather of Mrs. Steigerwalt, was a cooper by trade, and followed that calling for a number of years. Later buying a farm of over 150 acres he cleared a great deal of the land, and died on his farm at an advanced age. His wife, Catherine (Arner), died while attending service at Zion's Reformed Church in West Penn township, of which she and her hus- band were members, Mr. Gerber helping to build the church. They are buried in the cemetery there. Mr. Gerber was a Democrat in political opinions.

He was a popular township official, serving as school director, tax collector and assessor, was a member of the Democratic party, and belonged to Zion's Reformed Church in West Penn township. He is buried at that church. His death occurred July 29, 1881.


Mr. Gerber married Emmalina Adams, who was born Nov. 19, 1836, in Longswamp township, Berks Co., Pa., daughter of Carl and Magdalena ( Meister) Adams, and granddaughter of William and Catherine (Mertz) Adams, the former also a native of Longswamp township. Carl Adams was born Nov. 22, 1805, in Longswamp township, Berks Co., Pa., and moved from that county to West Penn township, Schuylkill county, where he died. He followed his trade of tinsmith and also operated a small tract of land which he owned. He and his wife Magdalena ( Meister), who was born Oct. 22, 1800, are buried at St. Peter's Church, at Wehr, in West Penn township, of which he was a member. In politics he was a Republican.

JACOB WALLAUER has been a resident of Schuylkill county for the last sixty years and of Ashland since 1858. His parents, Jacob and Elizabeth (Dick) Wallauer, natives of Bavaria, Germany, came to this country in 1856, and first settled at Tamaqua, Schuylkill Co., Pa., two years later removing to Ashland. The father was a stonemason by trade, and while in his native land was engaged as foreman on construction work at the government ports. After coming to America he continued to follow his trade until his death, which occurred in 1898, when he was eighty years old. The mother had died many years before, in 1871, at the age of forty-seven years. Their family consisted of six children : Jacob is the eldest; Tillie is the wife of Thomas Evans, of St. Louis, Mo .; Kate (who has been a Notary Public for twenty years), is the wife of Louis Biltz, of Girardville, a merchant, who was post- inaster there from 1898 to 1909; Elizabeth is the wife of John Ludwig, of St. Louis, Mo .; William is deceased; Frederick lives at Ashland, Pa. The oldest three children were born in Germany.


Jacob Wallauer was born Dec. 18, 1846, in the Rhine country of Bavaria, and lived there until his tenth year. He continued to attend school for several years after the family settled at Ashland, but he was still young when he began to learn the trade of painter and paperhanger, which he followed for a period of ten years. In 1871 he engaged in business, starting the general store which he has ever since conducted, dealing principally in dry goods and groceries. He has met with substantial success, and there is no more respected citizen in Ashland, where the family is well represented in the business circles and the life of the borough generally. In the year 1870 Mr. Wallauer married Matilda Corth, who was born in Prussia, daughter of Peter and Louise Corth, both of whom died at Ashland. The family came to this country at an early date, first settling at St. Clair, Schuylkill Co., Pa., and later making a perma- nent home at Ashland. Mrs. Wallauer died in 1894. She was the mother of seven children, namely: Harry, now station master at Jersey City for the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company ; Bert A., who has a leading gen- eral store at Ashland; Ida E., married to William Seitzinger, general engineer for the Reading Coal & Iron Company at Ashland; Louis, who has a dry goods business at Mahanoy City, Pa .; Arthur F., who has a grocery and notion store at Ashland, on Front and Centre streets; Edna, deceased; and Clarence, of White Plains, N. Y., salesman for the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
