GETHING JENKINS, who has recently assumed the position of general superintendent with the Ellsworth Coal Mining Company, of Newcastle, Schuylkill county, was until a few months ago engaged at the Pine Hill col- liery, near the borough of Minersville, in a responsible capacity. He was employed there for a number of years, and has been a mine worker practically all his life. Long experience and intelligent comprehension of the business of coal mining makes him a most valuable man in this connection, and he is equally well esteemed in all the other relations of life. Like so many of the miners hereabouts he is a native of Wales, born March 15, 1861, son of Jenkin Jenkins. The father was also born in Wales, came to America alone in 1865, and settled at Minersville, Schuylkill Co., Pa., where he made a permanent home. He died here in 1886. Throughout his active years he was engaged as a miner. He married Ann Smith, who was also from Wales, and she followed him to America in 1866 with their two sons, George and Gething. The former is a miner and makes his home at Minersville.
Gething Jenkins was born March 15, 1861, came to America with his mother in 1866, and received a common school education at Minersville. When a boy he began work as a slate picker, and he worked up through the various stages, driving mules, loading coal and taking charge of the inside repair work, until he became a full fledged miner. For nineteen years he was inside foreman of the Pine Hill colliery, near Minersville, where his reliability and high char- acter made him highly regarded. In May, 1915, he resigned that position, and immediately thereafter was chosen as general superintendent of the Ellsworth Coal Mining Company, situated at Newcastle, of which George M. Keiser is president and C. D. Norton, of Philadelphia, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Jenkins is a director of the Union National Bank of Minersville, and ranks among the substantial citizens of the borough. In fraternal connection he is a Mason, belonging to Minersville Lodge, No. 222, F. and A. M., and to Schuyl- kill Chapter, No. 159, R. A. M., also at Minersville. In his earlier manhood Mr. Jenkins had considerable reputation in this section as a ball player, playing as a professional with the Mount Carmel and Minersville teams.
Mr. Jenkins married Sarah Evans, daughter of John and Mary (Jones) Evans, who came from Wales and made their home at Minersville, Pa., where Mr. Evans died in 1886, when fifty-nine years old. Mrs. Evans is now living with her daughter, Mrs. Jenkins, and is almost ninety-five years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins have no children of their own, but they have reared a daugh- ter, Margaret Lewis Jenkins, who continues to reside with them. The family are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
ELMER F. SCHLASEMAN is an up-to-date merchant of Pottsville and ranks among the progressive residents of the city where he has spent most of
515
SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
his life. He is a native of Berks county, Pa., a member of an old family of that section, of German origin. His grandfather, William Schlaseman, for many years owner and proprietor of the well known "Schlaseman Hotel" in Bethel township, Berks county, was born in that township in 1798, and died at Millersburg, Berks county, in 1873. His wife, who was born in 1800 in Bethel township, died in 1890. Among their children were: William, Jonathan, Jacob A., Mrs. Ellen Seltzer (living at Millersburg, Berks county), Catherine (who married Daniel Gessler), Mrs. Rebecca Berger, Mrs. Amelia Wunder- lick, and Permilla (who married John Wilhelm, proprietor of the "Schlaseman Hotel" after her father's death).
Jacob A. Schlaseman was born in Berks county, where he was reared. When sixteen years old he came to Pottsville, Schuylkill county, and became a clerk in the employ of Jacob Huntzinger, later formning a partnership with Henry Huntzinger, in the flour and feed business. They were located at Potts- ville, on Railroad street. Some time later Mr. Schlaseman went to Gordon, Schuylkill county, where he enlisted in 1862 in Company H, 17th Pennsyl- vania Cavalry, under Capt. William Thompson, for three years. After the war he located in Berks county, remaining there until 1872, when he returned to Pottsville for the remainder of his life, dying in 1880. In 1856 he married Sarah J. Mann, a member of the well known Mann family of Pottsville and (laughter of Samuel Mann, proprietor of the "Pottsville House," which at that time was located at the northeast corner of Centre and Mahantongo streets. Mrs. Schlaseman survived her husband several years, dying in 1888. They are buried in the Odd Fellows cemetery at Pottsville. They were the parents of sixteen children, but only three lived to maturity: Mary, who married A. L. Wildermuth ; Stanley, who died at Pottsville, leaving two children ; and Elmer F.
Elmer F. Schlaseman was born Aug. 18, 1867, at Schubert, in Bethel town- ship, Berks county, and was brought to Schuylkill county in 1872. Here he received a public school education, but he was only a small boy when he began to clerk for Samuel Morgan. He has been in the grocery business all his life. After leaving Mr. Morgan he worked for J. R. Wood, and then for the George H. Reed estate, in whose employ he rose to the position of manager. In April, 1898, Mr. Schlaseman engaged in the business on his own account, and he now has a commodious and well stocked store at No. 304 North Centre street, carrying a large variety of groceries and provisions, also dealing in flour, fruits, vegetables, seeds, etc. Mr. Schlaseman has never spared any pains to familiar- ize himself with the wants of his customers and the demands of the local market, and he has always endeavored to see that his patrons are supplied with first-class goods, and that his store furnishes as good advantages as any for satisfactory marketing. He has a well earned reputation for honorable transactions and trustworthiness, which accounts for the steady trade that comes to his establish- mment.
Mr. Schlaseman married Lydia E. Faust, daughter of Solomon Faust of Orwigsburg, Pa., member of an old Schuylkill county family. They have three children : Lester E. and Guy A., who are now associated with their father in the business ; and Willis C., who graduated from the Pottsville high school in 1914 and is now employed as civil and mining engineer by the Maderia Hill Coal Company.
Mr. Schlaseman is a member of long standing in various local fraternal bodies, having belonged to the Knights of the Golden Eagle for twenty-seven years, to the I. O. O. F. lodge for twenty-four years, and to the Royal Arcanum

CHARLES SHUSTER BENSINGER, of New Ringgold, has spent most of his life in occupations bringing him into daily contact with his fellow citizens, and he is one of the most popularly known residents in his section of Schuylkill county. With a record of over thirty years of successful work as an educator in the county, and eleven years' efficient service as postmaster at New Ringgold, as well as other associations, he has filled a creditable place in the community and done his part in bringing about some desirable changes in the regulation of local affairs. He is a native of East Brunswick township, this county, born May 14, 1852, and the family has been established there from an early day.
Frederick Bensinger, the progenitor of many of the name in this locality, was born in Montgomery county, Pa., and settled in East Brunswick township before the Revolution. When the war broke out he was engaged in farming there, and he left his private interests to go to the assistance of the Colonies. In his later years he received a pension for his services. He married Mary Weiman, and had a family of eight children, one of whom, Jacob, married Hannah Dreher, and was the ancestor of another branch of the family in East Brunswick township.
Michael Bensinger, son of Frederick, was a farmer in East Brunswick township, where he owned about seventy-five acres of land. He cleared that tract, erected a log house and barn, and carried on general farming the greater part of his life. He had the following children: Edward married Sarah Heiser, and both are deceased; William, deceased, married a Miss Fister; Franklin B. is next in the family ; Benneville married Caroline Fahl, and both are deceased; Fred married a Miss Bock, and they reside at McKeansburg ; Priscilla married Thomas Hartung, and both are deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Ben- singer are buried in the Steigerwalt cemetery in East Brunswick township. He was a Whig in politics.
Franklin B. Bensinger was born in East Brunswick township in March, 1822, educated in the schools of the local district, and spent his youth and early manhood assisting his father on the farm. After his father's death he bought out the other heirs to the homestead place, which he operated all his life. His wife, Catherine (Shuster), born in September, 1821, died in March, 1899, was a daughter of Martin and Magdalena (Koons) Shuster. Mr. Ben- singer died in March, 1898.

Charles S. Bensinger had the advantages afforded in the township schools,
517

and later studied for two terms at the Keystone State Normal School, at Kutz- town, Pa., where he prepared himself to teach. His professional experience covered a period of thirty-one years, seventeen in East Brunswick township, one at McKeansburg, four in West Brunswick township, three in Blythe town- ship, three in West Penn township, and the remainder as teacher in the New Ringgold grammar school. His devotion to duty wherever his work called him, a high sense of its responsibilities from every standpoint, and conscientious efforts to maintain his efficiency at the highest standard, commanded the unqualified respect of his pupils and co-workers.
During President Theodore Roosevelt's term of office Mr. Bensinger was appointed postmaster at New Ringgold, in which office he is still serving. He is a Republican in political affiliation. He has been a member of the borough council twenty-one years, and has been acting as secretary since his election 10 that body ; and is president of the borough school board, having been elected in 1911, to serve six years. Two such important connections with the adminis- tration of government in the borough present many opportunities for valuable service, and it is characteristic of Mr. Bensinger that he turns them to the best account. Fraternally he is a prominent Odd Fellow (having belonged to the order for thirty years), a member and past grand of East Brunswick Lodge, No. 802, and present secretary of that organization, having served in that office continuously for twenty-seven years. He has attended six Grand Lodge Communications as a member of the State body. Mr. Ben- singer has been a member since 1883 of Washington Camp No. 100, P. O.

He has been a member of the Loyal Protective Association of Boston for the last nine years. In religion he adheres to the Reformed denomination, holding membership in the Frieden's Church at New Ringgold, in whose councils he has been active. He is serving at present as deacon and choir leader in the Sunday school.
Mr. Bensinger married Ida Baer, who was born Oct. 7, 1866, in West Penn township, this county, and received her education there.

The late Reuben Baer, Mrs. Bensinger's father, was a farmer in West Penn township, where he owned a small tract and carried on general farming all his life. He married Susanna Zimmerman, a daughter of John and Polly (Shoe- maker) Zimmerman, natives of West Penn township, and they had children as follows : Frank, of Tamaqua, married Clara Kleckner ; Ida married Charles S. Bensinger ; Charles married Minnie Miller, and they reside in Reading, Pa .; Pierce married Alice Houser, and they reside at Steinsville, Pa. ; Amandus married Cora Bachert, and their home is in East Brunswick township; Kate married Frank Hafer, of Reading, Pa.

SAMUEL BUEHLER, proprietor of the "Eagle Hotel" at Schuylkill Haven, has been an active citizen of that borough in the public service as well as in business, having been a borough official for about three years. Mr. Buehler was born on a farm in North Manheim township, Schuylkill county, June 9, 1866, son of Peter and Catherine (Groetzinger) Bueller, natives of Germany, who came to America from Wurtemberg in the year 1850 and first located at Philadelphia, Pa. In 1852 they removed to Schuylkill Haven, Schuylkill county, and for several years thereafter Peter Buehler was em- ployed on public construction work, on the canal, etc. In 1859 he bought the farm in North Manheim township where he made his home, dying there in March, 1867. His wife survived him many years, her death occurring Feb. 26, 1898. They had a family of seven children, four sons and three daughters, namely: John married Rose Geiger, of Tamaqua (he is a freight conductor on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad) ; George was drowned in the Raritan canal, at Trenton, N. J., in 1873; Daniel is married and lives at Altoona, Pa. (he is a conductor on the Pittsburgh division of the Pennsylvania railroad) ; Samuel is mentioned below ; Christine married Samuel Berger, of Schuylkill Haven ; Mary married John Christ. also of Schuylkill Haven, formerly of Tremont, this county ; Louisa married Jacob Berger, of Schuylkill Haven.
Samuel Buehler attended public school until he reached the age of sixteen. For several years afterwards he was variously employed until he commenced railroad work, in the spring of 1889. His first position was as brakeman on the Mine Hill road (now part of the Philadelphia & Reading), at Mine Hill crossing, and he held it until 1891. Then for four years he was employed as a carpenter, in 1892 joining Company F, 4th Regiment, Pennsylvania National Guard, with which he served until July 30, 1895, when he met with the accident which caused him to lose his foot. He was taken to the Pottsville hospital, where he was the third patient admitted after the opening of the institution. From 1892 to 1895 he was also engaged at the carpenter's trade. Meantime, in 1893, he had begun his career in the public service, as a member of the school board of North Manheim township, serving five years on that body, during two years of which time he was secretary. Having been appointed carpenter at the county almshouse, in 1897. he was thus engaged for the next two years, in March, 1899, moving to Schuylkill Haven, and commencing the hotel business in which he has since been engaged. For some years he had the "Keystone Hotel" at Spring Garden, removing thence to his present location on Main street, in 1907. Here he bought the "Eagle Hotel," which he is still conducting, having the leading place of its kind in Schuylkill Haven. In his line of business Mr. Buehler has naturally become widely acquainted, and he has also been well and favorably known in his association with the administration of public affairs. In 1904 he was appointed councilman to fill an unexpired term, at the end of which, in February, 1905, he was elected for a full term, serving until November, 1907, when he removed from his ward, thus vacating his office. At the same time he was acting as jury commissioner, having been elected to that position Nov. 6, 1906, for three years. So satisfactory were his services that he was honored with reelection in 1909, and continued to hold that position until January, 1914. Mr. Buehler's close attention to the demands of his public positions has entitled him to the general support he has received from his
