KUTZTOWN LODGE, NO. 214
DES DEUTSCHEN ARDENS DER HARUGARI
For twenty years or more there flourished in Kutztown, along with other familiar orders, an unique lodge, known by the name of Kutztown Lodge, No. 214, Des Deutschen Ardens der Haru- gari. It was unique because while it was a dis- tinctively German order, with a large member- ship spread over the entire United States, this particular branch consisted of 90 per cent.of na- tive Americans whose ancestors had belonged to the first German immigration into Penn's colony.
The lodge was instituted May 20, 1870. The first secretary was Aug. Sprenger, watchmaker and jeweler, who was one of Kutztown's sub- stantial and esteemed citizens for the greater part of his useful life. He was succeeded some years later by Conrad Gehring who held the office for many years, serving during that time one term each as district deputy grand bard and representative to the grand lodge. The mem - bership was over one hundred and at one time the assets of the lodge were over $1500. The dues were $4.00 a year, the sick benefits $4.00 a week and the mortality benefits $100 for a mem- ber and $50 for the wife of a member. As the members grew older and some permanently in- capacited, the drain on the treasury became too heavy for the income and the lodge finally dis- banded.
Some of the prominent members who made the meetings lively at times were: Isaac Wagon- horst, Isaac Wentzel, Henry Keiter, George O'- Neil, George Fleischmann, Henry Petersen, U1- rich Miller, Hugo Wittiger, Henry Stigman, John G. Schofer, John H. Schofer, James Os- wald, Myrus Oswald, Jonathan Weida, Daniel B. Kutz, William Brown, Peter F. Wentzel, Clin- ton Graeff, David Saul, John Neff and Ephraim Sharadin.

Thomas S. Levan acted as chairman of the meeting. H. K. Deisher was chosen as secretary.
The club was organized in 1883 with the object of reading standard literature and give entertainments in select readings and recitations. Later the Kutztown Dramatic Club was formed, (nick-named Kutztown Drowned Cats ).
The members were :
Thomas S. Levan, Rev. George A. Kercher, Ulrich J. Miller, Ezra H. Hottenstein, Dr. Edward L. Hottenstein, Tr., Charles I. G. Christman, Alvin S. Christ, David Fister. Amandus F. DeLong, Robert K.

Through the courtesy of the school board, the public school building was secured, there being no public hall in town.
The first play rendered was "The Last Loaf," a drama in two acts, and the one act farce "Paddle Your Own Canoe," May I and 2, 1884.
The characters of "The Last Loaf" were:
Mark Ashton, a Silversmith. . A. S. Christ Caleb Hansom, a Baker .. . Geo. A. Kercher Harry Hansom, his Son .... .C. I. G. Christman Dick Bustle, a Journeyman Baker .. .. U. T. Miller Tom Chubbs, a Butcher .. .R. K. Berkemeyer Kate Ashton, Mark's Wife ...

A stage was constructed of hemlock boards in the Primary School room. The roller curtain was loaned by Trinity Luth- eran Church. The old kerosene lamps loan- cdl by St. John's Union Church were used as foot lights. For entrance and exit to the stage a bridge was built outside from window to window to the Secondary School room. The scenery, which was to repre- sent a room, was draped with wall paper and lace curtains.
The play took so well that it was re- peated three evenings. Patrons from Fleet- wood insisted the play be given in their town. When the advance agents arrived, the children ran from the street calling, "Mam, mam, de show leit sin do."
WV. G. Hinterleiter remodeled his store in 1885 and at the request of the club, he built a hall on the second floor. People re- marked, "Now Kutztown has a theater." The first play in the new hall was the two act drama, "The Boys of '76," followed by the one act farce, "John Schmidt." C. W. Snyder painted elaborate scenery, common chairs borrowed from the good neighbors were used as reserved seats, and backless benches served as ordinary seats, which were occupied three hours without signs of fatigue. A stout rone suspended from a rear window of the dressing room was to serve as a fire escape for the club mem- bers.
The next play for the boards was "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," and was enjoyed by a full house.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin." a drama in six

The New Kutztown Dramatic Club, to distinguish it from the old Kutztown Dram- atic Club, was organized in the fall of the vear of 1889. The club was organized in the old public school house. The object of the club was to continue the work of the former club, that of beautifying and enlarg- ing the mind with the study of the poets and depicting characters in the drama. The club consisted of the following members, all single at that time :
Thos. S. Levan, leader and instructor: Mrs. Jennie Donmoyer Messersmith, Mrs. Ella Drei- belbis Baer, Mrs. Annie Wagenhorst Deisher, Mrs. Katie Heffner Ressler, Mrs. Anna Hotten- stein Hottenstein, Mrs. Beckie Fenstermacher Marx Mrs. Oneida Rahn Smith, Mrs. Annie Marx Ort, Miss Anna Hoover, Sam'l H.

H. Friteh, W. J. Noble, E. M. Steckel, Q. D. Herman, C. W. Snyder, artist, and C. W. Keiter, ticket agent and advance agent.
The first play given was entitled, "Among the Breakers," and was given in the new music hall, ( so known at that time ) which had been built by the "American Orches- tra," assisted by the club as part owners.
This play proved such a great success that the club decided to continue the work

Many social affairs were enjoyed during the club's career. The remuneration to the members was a fine gold badge. All are living but two, Mrs. Mary Christman Levan and David Fister.
A pleasant evening was spent. Luncheon served by Mr. Thomas S. Levan was great- ly enjoyed by the attending members, after which the meeting was adjourned sine die.
and the following plays were given. one each year, "The Dead Shot" and "Seeing the Elephant," (two farces ), "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," East Lynne." and "Uncle Josh.
The last three years of its existence the club paid an annual visit to Fast Green- ville where they played to crowded houses. On their home trips they enjoyed an ele-

A strong play entitled "Strife, or Master and Men," was presented in January 1901, by some of the old members of the dramatic club and the necessary addition of several new ones. There were two colored men, a Dutchman, two comical old men, etc. As the name of the play indicates the plot was directed upon strike and labor troubles. The title, however, does not indicate the amount of comedy sprinkled throughout the play.
Mrs. Frank Smoll was the instructor and the play was presented in Kutztown, Pennsburg and Boyertown to packed hous. es. The characters were :

CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF KUTZTOWN
Thomas S. Levan was manager and in- structor of the Old Dramatic Club, and through his instrumentality the organization was started and maintained. He is a son
THOMAS S. LEVAN
of Col. Daniel R. Levan, deceased. He was born and raised at Kutztown, and his fam- ily, of French Huguenot descent, is one of
the oldest and best known in the county. Mr. Levan received his education in the public schools of his native town and at the Keystone State Normal School.
After leaving school he was engaged in business for some time in Reading and later carried on a successful business in New York. He afterwards sold out and took a course in one of New York's best training schools. Mr. Levan has a wide reputation as an elocutionist. A number of years ago he filled various engagements in that capa- city and frequently took part in amateur performances of local theatrical companies in his native town and Reading. For quite a number of years he was the indefatigable manager, instructor, and trainer of the Old Kutztown Dramatic Club and had unusually flattering success. He taught very success- fully some fifty young ladies and gentle- ment of Kutztown not only in elocution but also in the mysteries of modern stage work. Mr. Levan has played in some of our lead- ing theatrical companies.
He takes a great interest in secret orders and besides being past district grand chief of the K. G. E. for six terms. is a past master of Huguenot Lodge, No. 377, F. and A. M. He is treasurer and a heavy stockholder of the Saucony Shoe Manu- facturing Company, and a member of the U. E. Church and he has been the sunerin- tendent of its Sunday School for fifteen years.
THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
[ Extracts from Gehring's Speech in Patriot]
Centennial Monument-The cost was two hundred and fifty dollars. Of this sum, Mr. Wentz himself subscribed seventy-five dollars, and the remainder was collected in town and in the Normal School by Mrs. Dr. Charles H. Wanner and the Misses Alesa Helfrich and Harriet B. Swineford. On the four larger sides of the die the follow- ing mottoes are inscribed, which were se- lected by a committee consisting of Rev. Prof. Horne, Prof. John S. Ermentrout and County Superintendent Samuel A. Baer.
On the north side-"Unser Frei Schul wesa kumt fun da Pennsilfornish Deitsha har. Der Govaner Wolf hat's geplant un der Ritner un der Shunk hen's ausge- fuchrt."
On the south-"Nec scire fas est ommia." On the east-"Wie Gott mit unsern l'aet- ern war, so sci er auch mit uns."
On the west-"Virtue, Liberty and Inde- pendence."
The monument was unique in that the inscriptions were in Pennsylvania Dutch, Latin, German and English. At the time of re-dedication the Latin inscription was removed and there was inscribed on the same panel: "This monument was erected on the K. S. N. S. Campus, July 4. 1876. Removed and Re-dedicated in the Kuts- toron Park, 1907.
At the time of its erection on the Normal School Campus the following articles were deposited in that part of the monument on which the spire rests :
162
CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF KUTZTOWN
"The history of Kutztown and Maxa- tawny; the latest newspapers of the coun- ty ; ancient coins; almanacs and coins of 1876; a catalogue of the Normal School for 1876; the names of contributors to the monument; and the late census of Kutz= town, continental script and a silver quarter dated 1776, donated by A. J. Fogel."
From address of Conrad Gehring at the re-dedication of the monument, August II, 1907 :
As I said before, when in 1876 the nation celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of American Independence, Kutztown was in line with the cities. It was the most elaborate demonstration I saw during the 32 years I spent in the dear old town. Pat- riotism was at high tide and the waves roared and dashed and foamed and lapped in a manner to carry with them even the most blunted souls. Main Street was one mass of people, who had poured into the town from early morning. There wasn't a house that wasn't gaily decorated in the national colors and Old Glory nodded and waved and fluttered from roofs, windows, verandas, steeples, coat lapels, and hats. Everybody was joyful and everyone in a shouting mood. The marchers faced a glar- ing sun and clouds of dust, but that didn't dampen their ardor, except that some look- ed as limp as a sweat-soaked collar by the time it was all over.
The order of procession as it appeared in the Kutztown Journal will give you an idea of the magnitude of the narade:
Chief Marshal, Dr. J. S. Trexler.
Marshal's Aids, Z. T. Miller, Wm. C. Dietrich, Wm. D. Gross, N. S. Schmehl, J. D. Sharadin, D. W. Sheridan, Geo. Eason and Philip Kline.
Ringing Rock Cornet Band, of Fleet- wood.
Chief Burgess S. S. Schmehl and Ora- tors in carriages.
Liberty Car, with thirteen girls dressed in white, representing the Original Colon- ies, grouped around the Goddess of Liberty. drawn by four horses of John Bieber.
Gen. Geo. Washington and Lady Martha Washington ( represented by Albert A. Ad- am and Mrs. H. M. Cloud) and two colored attendants, all on horseback.
Second Liberty Car with 38 girls dressed in white, bearing shields representing the States of the Union, drawn by George Kutz's four stately greys.
Greenwich Cornet Band, Prof. N. P. Kistler, leader.
Tonton's large delegation, consisting of Red Men, Knights of the Mystic Chain and Knights of Pythias, with E. J. S. Hoch as marshall.
Maidencreek Cornet Band.
Harugari's and Jr. O. U. A. M. of Kutz- town.
Trexlertown Band.
Citizens in carriages.
The day was ushered in with a salute of one hundred guns at 4 o'clock in the morn- ing and at the same time a drum corps paraded the town.
At 7 o'clock a centennial service was held in the Normal School Chapel, when the principal, Rev. Dr. A. R. Horne, preached an eloquent sermon and a specially organ- ized Centennial Choir, under the direction of the late Dr. Wm. Stettler, led the sing- ing. At the conclusion of the services this monument was raised. The foundation and base had previously been laid and the shaft hung in midair suspended from the rope of
KUTZTOWN PARK-KENS CENTENNIAL MONUMENT
a derrick, ready to be swung into position. This was done under the supervision of Philip Wenz, the granite dealer and marble cutter, who had been awarded the contract for the monument.
The lamented Prof. J. S. Ermentrout, who was the historian of the association and who had written an interesting pamph- let entitled "History of Kutztown and Max- atawny," placed the customary articles into the box of the monument, which I under- stand has been wisely preserved and is again within the base of the monument.
Prof. S. A. Baer, chairman of the Monu- ment Committee, presented the monument to S. S. Schmehl, president of the Centen- nial Association, who in turn turned it over
163
CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF KUTZTOWN
into the care of the board of trustees of the Keystone State Normal School.
It would be taxing your patience too much to go into all the details of the day, so I will cut the story short.
The spectacular parade marched over to this place which was then a picnic ground known as Kemp's Grove. Here a speaker's stand and seats had been erected and here Judge Sassaman, of Reading, delivered an eloquent oration and Senator M. S. Hen- ninger, of Allentown, read an original Penn= sylvania German poem entitled "En Hun- nert Johr Zurick."
After the ceremonies the multitude was
fed from supplies furnished free by the Cen- tennial Association. The multitude num- bered about three thousand, and there was nothing left and even not all were filled.
In the course of the afternoon a burlesque parade took place in which a company of 120 "Mulligan Guards," masked and car- rying wooden guns with tin bayonets, form- ed the leading feature. Besides therc werc in the grotesque procession a band with tin instruments, making strange but loud music, an improvised elephant, a bear and other fantastic features. This greatly amused the crowd and roars of laughter went up along the line.
"KUTZTOWN, THE HUB OF OPPORTUNITY"
Slogans are all the rage these days. A town such as ours is, should have a slogan. It has one-the one shown here. This slogan, on the suggestion of Wm. S. Rhodc, President of the Kutztown Publishing Com- pany, was chosen from some three dozen or more rallying cries, as being peculiarly suitable to Kutztown. The town Z THE HUB is situated in the center WN of the East Penn Valley, OPPO onc of the fairest, rich- OF est valleys in the land, ORTU and midway between the citics of Allentown and Reading. As in olden
times all roads led to Rome, so now-a-days, many important roads center in Kutztown. Kutztown is not the hub of the universe, not the center of the state, or even of the county-it might have been had the efforts to make the town the county seat of Penn county ninety years and more ago been suc- cessful-but it is the "hub of opportunity," that is, a center to which concenter many lines of social, civil, industrial, and educa- tional activity.
The slogan adopted by the Kutztown Board of Trade in 1914, is being extensive- ly used, and with satisfactorily results, in calling attention to the various opportunities afforded by our town.
