To The Reader
This book outlines the genealogy of my four grandparents, the Grzingers/Gretzingers and the Hubers on my fathers side, and the Bayers/Boyers and the Drumbores/Trumbores on my mothers side.
My aim was to identify and trace each family line to the ancestor who immigrated to the United States. I achieved this objective for the Grzinger/Gretzinger and the Bayer/Boyer family lines. With the help of my cousin, Ray A. Huber, I successfully traced the Huber family line to the emigrant from Switzerland. However, further study is necessary in order to confirm the identity of the original emigrant from the Drumbore/Trumbore family. In presenting my research, I employ a common format throughout the volume. First, a separate chapter is devoted to each family line. It begins with an overview of my research technique followed by a narrative on each generation in the family line. The narrative reveals the sources that I consulted and describes the personal background of family members, i.e. occupations, residences, recollections and experiences. Where possible, I illustrate these pages with scanned photographs. After the narrative is a genealogy report listing all ancestors that can be traced from the emigrant ancestor to the present. Each family member who appears in the report is assigned a number, and this number is often cited in the narrative. For example, Richard C. Gretzinger, appears in the Grzinger/Gretzinger genealogy report as entry number 35 as discussed in Chapter 2, Ancestors of Lewis (Grzinger) Gretzinger genealogy report, page 78. Also note that directly behind this entrys middle name, Charles, is the number 5. This number indicates that Richard is a 5th generation descendant of Lewis Gretzinger. Richards father, Wilmer H. Gretzinger, is therefore, a 4th generation descendant. The next section is an alphabetical index listing all the names in the report. It also includes the reports page number reference for each descendant. My research over the years uncovered many interesting facts. A few of the highlights are presented below. With the help of the National Church Archives in Stuttgart, Germany, I identified four generations of Grzinger (spelled Groezinger without the umlaut) ancestors in Wuerttemberg, Germany. The genealogy of these ancestors, the Grzingers, has been included as separate chapter in this book. The Stiefel family, also discussed as a separate chapter, emigrated from Germany in 1854. One of the Stiefel daughters, Johanna (aka Hannah), married my 2nd great-grandfather, Lewis Gretzinger. The marriage of my Protestant great-grandfather, Henry S. Gretzinger, resulted in a connection to the Levi/Levy family, whose ancestors were Jewish Germans. With information from Paul E. Levy, my third cousin, once removed, I traced the Levi/Levy family to the emigrant from Germany (see separate chapter on the Levis/Levys).

vi

I discovered a relationship to the Weidner family-the result of the marriage between my great-grandaunt, Caroline S. Gretzinger, to Charles H. Weidner, Sr. (see separate chapter on the Weidner family line). The Weidner ancestors played a part in the Fries Rebellion of 1799. Many of the events leading to the rebellion occurred in my hometown. Rev. Wilfred Maloney, Pastor Emeritus of my church, St. Alphonsus in Maple Glen, Pa., piqued my interest in the history of this event. At one of our Wednesday morning Bible Study classes, he mentioned that many of the activities leading to the rebellion occurred in my hometown of Trumbauersville, PA. As I was not familiar with the rebellion, I did some research at the Bucks County Historical Library. I presented the results of my research at one of our Bible study sessions, and since the story is so compelling, I decided to include a summary as another chapter in this volume. My direct ancestor, Lewis Grzinger (surname was later spelled Gretzinger), is from Wrttemberg, Germany, and consequently, I devote the final chapter to a brief history of Wrttemberg. I focus on the historical backdrop and the political/economic environment in Germany in the mid 1800s in an attempt to understand the reasons why many Germans emigrated during this period.

It is my hope that the reader will enjoy tracing the various branches of my tree and discover how they might interconnect to our family with roots in Europe and the U.S. Following are some notations and assumptions I used in the narratives and reports. The notation nee in the narratives identifies the maiden name of a married woman. For example, in the picture on page 27, the name of Henry Gretzingers wife is listed as Ellamanda (nee Hoff) Gretzinger to indicate that Ellamandas maiden name was Hoff. When I was not able to identify the maiden name of a married woman, I used the notation nee? to signify maiden name unknown. For example, on page 107 entry number 1, the wife of Andrew Boyer is recorded as Elizabeth (nee?) Boyer. The listed surname in the genealogy reports in these cases is that of her husband. For those instances where I found an ancestors salary, estate or pension, I valued the amount in todays dollars to put the amount in perspective. To calculate todays value, I used the average annual percent increase of the Consumer Price Index for the period from 1912 to 2000, which was 3.5%. For dates between 1800 and the present, particularly birthdays, I included the day of the week, which reminded me of the following poem by Mother Goose. Mondays child is fair of face, Tuesdays child is full of grace; Wednesdays child is full of woe, Thursdays child has far to go; Fridays child is loving and giving, Saturdays child works hard for its living; But the child that is born on the Sabbath day, Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

I was born on a Monday, so I must be a fair of face. What day of the week were you born?

FOREWORD
I always had a keen interest in my family history. In the 1960s, with the help of my grandmother, Emma (nee Huber) Gretzinger, I put together a basic family tree. Since retiring in 1994, I have undertaken extensive study to expand my knowledge of the family and its origins. My first effort was to compile my research on the Grzinger/Gretzinger ancestors into a booklet that included Xerox copies of relatives photographs as attachments. In 1995, I distributed the booklet to family members, who expressed the desire to learn more about our heritage. In 1996, my son and daughter surprised me with a special Christmas gift. They had enhanced my original booklet by reformatting the text on my sons computer, adding scanned photographs and taking the document to a professional printer for reproduction and binding. The next step was to investigate the genealogy of the Bayer/Boyer and Levi/Levy families. The findings filled three separate booklets covering three different family genealogies. By 1999, it had become apparent that I needed to assemble all my research into one overall book. The result is this present volume. Besides a listing of family members, I have also added narratives and photographs to make the Gretzinger story more compelling and relevant. I have attempted to be as accurate as possible by presenting the facts as I uncovered them during the course of my research. If I have made errors in the genealogy or misstatements in the narratives, I apologize and welcome your corrections and additions. I am deeply grateful to many people, who took the time to answer my questions, either in person or by letter and e-mail. I am also indebted to several family researchers who provided important information that helped me to establish a linkage to my family lines. (See Acknowledgments). Researching family history is like piecing together a giant picture puzzle. Many nights, I lay awake in bed pondering the puzzle and its missing pieces. While I had connected most of the pieces at the puzzles center, I still had to fill in many of the surrounding areas. I found the process of investigation and discovery interesting and exiting. One especially thrilling moment occurred when I found Lewis Groezingers naturalization papers. I also enjoyed learning about those ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War and those who served in the Union army during the Civil War. Most particularly, it was rewarding to identify my rootsto understand who had gone before and to ponder what sacrifices they had made. Many left their homes, often at great personal risk, to travel thousands of miles across an ocean to begin a new life in a distant country. I often wonder if I would have had the courage to make such a trip. In honor and remembrance of their fortitude and faith, I dedicate this volume.

CHAPTER 1
My Ancestor s Ancestors
Intr oduction Introduction
Websters Dictionary defines genealogy as, the science or study of family descent. Typically, the study of ones family involves tracing the family name, or surname, over time from one generation to another. The inherited family surname is a relatively recent development. According to the book, The Origin and Development of Jewish Family Names, the use of inherited family names began about three thousand years ago. The Romans were the first Europeans to make use of family names. The custom, however, died out with the collapse of the Roman Empire and the spread of Christianity, which recognized only baptismal names. In most early cultures, one name was usually sufficient. If one name was not enough, then a byname (or nickname) was used. By-names were similar to family names but were not permanent. For example, someone with a given name of John who was a tailor would have been referred to as John the Tailor. Spanish Jews were the first to make widespread use of inherited family names. Yiddish speaking Jews of Central and Eastern Europe were using hereditary surnames during the Middle Ages. Some surnames were derived from house signs, which were used instead of house numbers in many German cities in the 16th and 17th centuries. For example, the Rothschild family lived at the Red Shield. Other shield names were: Alder (eagle), Taub (dove) and Schiff (ship). Many European Jews adopted a fixed surname from various other sources, such as localities, occupations or characteristics. The surname Frank meant of France, the surname Schneider meant tailor and the name Schwartz meant black. At the end of the 18th century, government edicts required Jews to adopt permanent family names. In the Austrian provinces and Hungary, including a large part of Poland and the Ukraine, all Jews were required to take German surnames. If they did not, a government commission could impose a surname. Government officials often took bribes in return for granting pleasant sounding names. Blumenthal was flower valley, Weintraub was winegrape and Steinberg was stone mountain. Those who could not or would not pay the officials might receive ridiculous names, i.e. Fresser for glutton, Langnass for long nose and Schmalz for grease. Although I studied a few surnames of German Jews, I focused the majority of my research on ancestors who were Protestant Germans. My main objective was to research my four grandparetzin ger , Huber , Bo yer and Tr umbor e. ents with surnames Gr Gretzin etzing er, Huber, Boy Trumbor umbore

Sur name (Pedi gree) Collapse Surname (Pedig

As is the case with all families, the number of succeeding ancestors is double the preceding generation. Each person has two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, sixteen 2nd great-grandparents, thirty-two 3rd great-grandparents, sixty-four 4th great-grandparents, etc. Thus, an individuals family tree starts with that individual and expands outward by a factor of two for each succeeding generation. This expansion, however, does not continue indefinitely because of the intermarriages of cousins. This intermarriage, intentional and random, is Surname (or Pedigree) Collapse. A British social theorist, Robin Fox, has written that eighty percent of the worlds marriages have been with at least second cousins. In addition, blood relation marriages were common in royal houses in an effort to keep and expand power and wealth. The further back that one proceeds in his/her family history, the more duplication in the pedigree occurs as more and more cousins marry. The shape of the family tree begins to collapse and takes the shape of a diamond. One of the most studied examples of intermarriage is the ght surPennsylvania Amish. Studies have shown that 80% of the Lancaster Amish have only ei eight names because of their intermarriages. Geneticist Guy Murchie has stated that no human can be less closely related to any other human than about the 50th cousin, and most are a lot closer. For example, President Jimmy Carter and President Richard Nixon were 6th cousins. They were descendants of Richard Morris, a New Jersey Quaker who lived before 1776. Another factor that contributed to intermarriages was the pool of potential spouses. In many rural areas in the early 1800s, this pool was limited to the distance one could comfortably walk twice a day when courting. This distance was about five miles. However, when the bicycle was invented, this distance extended to 25 miles. During the course of my research, I did find the intermarriages of a few cousins. The larger impact, however, was that of the distance limitation relating to the pool of potential spouses. I would estimate that at least 80% of my ancestors living in the 1800s in Bucks and Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania lived within 15 miles of each other when they were courting.

Many emigrant families recorded their history in the family Bible, which identified the inherited family surname and recorded ancestors and descendants vital statistics. I was not aware that a Grzinger family Bible existed until my cousin, Jane Hartwich, informed me it was in the possession of Glenn Franklin George, a great-grandson of Lewis Grzinger/Gretzinger. The Bible originally belonged to Johann Michael Christoph Grzinger and was dated 1825. He was the brother of Johann Ludwig Grzinger. Johann Ludwig was the father of Ludwig (Lewis) Grzinger, my 2nd great grandfather who emigrated from Germany to the United States.

When Lewis Grzinger immigrated to the United States, his uncle ( Johann Michael Christoph) undoubtedly gave the Bible to him. There are some entries in the rear of the Bible that were probably made by Lewis. These entries list the birth and marriage dates of all of Lewis children and the death of one. It appears that Lewis passed the Bible to his daughter, Caroline, who married Charles Weidner. Caroline passed the Bible to her daughter, Emma, who married Franklin K. George. The Bible was next passed down to the son of Franklin K., Glenn Franklin George. The Bible is currently in Glenns possession. Glenn and his wife Margaret (Peggy) reside in Doylestown, Pa. In the summer of 1998, my cousin, Jane Hartwich, and I visited Glenn and Peggy George and saw the Bible. In July of 2002, my son took digital photographs of the Bible which are reproduced on pages 3, 5 and 6. The frontispiece of the Bible has an inscription written by Johann Michael in old German script.

Gr zin ger F amil y Bible Fr ontispiece Gr zing Famil amily Frontispiece

Michael Christoph Grzinger The years flee, cities vanish, kingdoms disappear, the Bible is everlasting, as He who gave it. 1825.

Inside the Bible, there is a handwritten document in old German script. Glenns wife, Peggy, had the document translated. It appears that Michael Christoph wrote it to the children of his brother, Johann Ludwig. One of those children was Ludwig, my 2nd great-grandfather. The document appears to be a eulogy to the parents of Michael Christoph and it reads (another of Michaels given names was Johann):

The Par ents and Childr en Parents Children

Only once more in my whole life I would like to see my parents again. What would I not give for this chance! Oh, would this only happen once more. I would press them against my cheek, burning with love, look at them with loving eyes, and look at their faces with the trust of a child. Oh, fate! You have torn them from me. Adieu, my joy, my happiness, my everything. My tears will still flow for them in years to come. Oh, Mother, you have born me in pain. I know how much you loved me. I have lost you forever. And also my father has been gone for years. Oh, when I think back on the joyous hours when I was with my parents. Oh, what delight did I feel when I ate my piece of bread with them. I knew little about grief and sorrow. My heart was always filled with joy. I was as happy in the evening as I was in the morning. At that time, I always felt well. They always provided for me and my brother. They made us become good human beings. I dont see you any more, dear parents. God took you up to him forever, where you can live with Him, see His countenance forever. He will reward you for everything you have done for your children. Only now do I recognize the great gift given to us when parents live longer. Every child should call himself lucky when it still has parents around him. The love of parents is as great and mighty as any love in this world. Many a mother would gladly bear all the pain if only her sick child would recover. You children enjoy the happiness because your parents are still alive! Do not neglect to be obedient like a good child! Pray to God to give your parents a long life! Be righteous and affectionate, and always lend a helping hand! Then you will live well on this earth.
I believe that Johann Michael wrote this eulogy after the death of his mother, Anna Barbara (Wernang). From the Family Register I obtained from the National Church Archives in Stuttgart, Germany, I was able to determine that she died at the age of 67, on February 5, 1835. Johann Michaels father, Johann Karl, died at the age of 55, on March 15, 1817, eighteen years before his wife passed away. The Family Register recorded that Johann Karl and Anna Barbara had nine children. Four had died by 1823. Four daughters and two sons survived. The two sons were Johann Michael Christoph and Johann Ludwig. (See page 288 for a listing of this family).

In the rear of the Bible there were a number of entries listing the births and marriages of Lewis Grzingers children. It is believed that Lewis made these entries after he immigrated to the United States in 1848. The earliest of these entries was the birth of his first child, Karl Christian Grzinger, on May 16, 1855, and his death on August 3, 1857. These dates were confirmed by the dates on Karls tombstone in the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church cemetery, Zion Hill, Pa. The other birth dates recorded by Lewis in the Bible were confirmed by the parish records of Christ Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville, Pa. A photo of the birth recordings in the Bible is shown below.

However, the marriages for Lewis children were recorded with the surname Grtzinger. Later, the umlaut above the o was dropped and an e was added making the surname Groetzinger. And even later, the o was dropped making the surname Gretzinger. Below is a photograph of the recordings in the family Bible of the marriages of Lewis children and the death of one.

CHAPTER 2
Gr zin ger/Gr etzin gy Gr zing er/Gretzin etzing Genealogy ger Genealo
Intr oduction Introduction
My grandmother once told me that the first Gretzinger in our family came to this country from southern Germany and his name was Lewis. From that bit of information, and a lot of searching through census records, birth notices, marriage announcements, death records, tomb stones and church records, I have pieced together the genealogy of the Gretzingers that settled in and around the town of Trumbauersville, Milford Township, Bucks County in the State of Pennsylvania. The most significant sources of research information I used were obtained from the United States Federal Census and church records. A federal census is conducted every ten years beginning in 1790. The information in these records is currently available to the public for the years 1790 through 1930. Under federal law, census records after 1930 are not yet available to the general public. The census records contain a wealth of information. The type of information recorded in each census, however, is not consistent for each survey. Beginning with the seventh census in 1850, the head of the household is listed along with all those living in that household and their relationship to the head of that household. Census records of 1870 added the sex, age and place of birth for each family member. For each wife listed in the 1900 census, the number of children born to that mother and the number living at the time of that particular census were recorded.

The 1900 census also recorded the place of birth of each person listed on the census as well as the place of birth for the head of the households mother and father. It also records whether or not the individuals can read, write and speak English and each persons occupation. The 1900 census also provided information on home ownership- whether owned or rented and if the home is owned free or has a mortgage-and property use, i.e. if it is a farm or a home. If an emigrant, the 1900 census recorded the year the person entered the United States. The census information was handwritten on large paper forms. For example, the forms used in the 1900 census were about two feet long and 18 inches high. Microfilm copies of the original census forms are available for research; however, complete census information is beginning to be recorded on Compact Disks (CDs) that can be accessed by a Personal Computer. Many entries on the handwritten census forms are difficult to read because of the penmanship and corrections made by the Enumerator, or census taker. In addition, many of the persons being interviewed by the Enumerator could not understand English, which led to many interpretations, particularly of surname spellings. My research of the Gretzinger lineage was made somewhat easier because the family all lived in or near Milford Township, Trumbauersville. Many were members of the same
16

church, the Christ Evangelical Lutheran and Reformed Church on North Main Street, Trumbauersville. Many are also all buried in the Union Church Cemetery, Trumbauersville. The church records provided valuable information concerning births, deaths and marriages.
This genealogy begins with my great-great grandfather, Lewis. A listing of his descendants begins at the end of this chapter on page 76. Lewis is listed as entry number 1 in the report. In the following narrative, the entry numbers precede each name.

THE FIRST GENERA TIO N ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

1. Le wis (Gr zin ger) Gr etzin ger Lewis (Gr zing Gretzin etzing
Lewis was born on Thursday, January 14, 1819, in Reutlingen, in the state of Wrttemberg,
located in southwestern Germany. He was baptized into the Lutheran church in Germany in 1819 and confirmed in 1833. Lewis fathers given names, according to a family register obtained from the National Church Archives in Stuttgart, were Johann Ludwig, and his mothers name was Margaret Bhl. Lewis appears as entry number 1 on the report Descendants of Lewis Grzinger/Gretzinger, page 76. The birthplace of my ancestor as noted above was Wrttemberg. Wrttemberg was successively a countship, a duchy, a kingdom and a republic before partition after World War II. For the last period of its separate existence, it was bounded northeast and east by Bavaria, southeast by Bavaria and Lake Constance, and southwest, west and northwest by Baden. The capital was Stuttgart. Except for the Rhine plain, Wrttemberg is a mountainous and hilly region that includes the Swabian Jura and the Black Forest and is drained by the Neckar River. By the mid-1800s, a liberal nationalist movement was underway to unify Germany and to establish a federal constitution. The liberals were demanding more individual freedom and liberty, trial by jury and the rights of free press and assembly. These liberal reform efforts, however, met opposition from the more conservative peasantry, Lutheran clergy, civil servants and large landowners. The opposition became so great that in November of 1848, King Frederick William IV stopped these reform efforts and retained all executive authority in his (the Kings) hands. The stern reactionary measures taken by the king to suppress the liberal movement forced many of the inhabitants of Germany, particularly Wrttemberg, to emigrate. Many came to the United States where they found fertile and free soil. The US inherited a fortunate legacy because of the defeat of the liberal movement in Germany. A brief history of Wrttemberg is included in Chapter 12.

17

One of those Germans who emigrated was Lewis Grzinger (the German spelling of the surname required an umlaut above the o). Lewis was confirmed into the German Lutheran Church when he was 14 years old. He had four brothers and three sisters. Lewis left Wrttemberg at the age of 29 and arrived in the port of New York on Sunday, May 28, 1848, as recorded on his Final Petition (see page 21). Research has shown that one of his sisters may have immigrated to the United States. (See page 284). It is interesting to speculate why Lewis left Germany. Was it because he favored the liberal movement for more freedom in Germany and became disenchanted when the movement failed? Or was it the lure of the fertile soil in the United States he probably heard about (since he was a farmer)? We will never know for sure, but if it werent for that boat trip to America, we Gretzingers wouldnt be here. I attempted to determine on which ship Lewis crossed the Atlantic. I researched the emigrant passenger lists at the National Archives in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, there is no index of passengers for the year 1848; therefore, the researcher must manually read through the entire passenger list to find the emigrant in question. Archives records listed only two ships that arrived in the Port of New York on Sunday, May 28, 1848. One ship was the Meta from Bremen, Germany and the second ship was the Plenty from England. The microfilm copy of the passenger list for the Meta was extremely light (the original ink had undoubtedly faded) and the hand writing difficult to read. I could not verify that Lewis was a passenger on this ship. I also researched the passenger list for the ship Plenty since some German emigrants went to England for their trip to the United States. I also failed to find Lewis on this list. I expanded my research of passenger lists to include those for all ships that arrived in the Port of New York on Friday, May 26, Saturday, May 27 and Monday, May 29, 1848. The passenger list for May 26 included five ships-two from Bremen. For May 27 there were eleven passenger lists, three from Bremen, and for May 29 there were 28 passenger lists, eight from Bremen. I could not locate Lewis on any of these lists. I also requested the National Archives to conduct a search (for a $10 fee). They also were unable to locate the ship on which Lewis was a passenger. The archivist who conducted the research advised that their records were not complete as many passenger lists were lost and/or destroyed over the years. Many of the emigrants who crossed the Atlantic in the early 1800s did so in sail ships called packets that were predecessors to the clipper ships. Packet ships came on the scene in 1816. One of the first companies to use packet ships and to offer service between Liverpool and New York was the Black Ball Line. The company opened service in 1816 with four ships, each 500 tons. They were the Amity, Courier, Pacific and the James Monroe. The National Archives passenger lists include the ship Pacific leaving Bremen and arriving in the port of New York on Saturday, May 27, 1848. It is possible that Lewis may have been a passenger on this ship. In Douglas Lobleys book entitled Ships Through the Ages published in 1972, the shipping correspondent of the Liverpool Courier described the ships accommodations: Her dining room is 40 feet by 14 feet. The end of the dining room is supported by an elliptical arch, supported by handsome pillars of Egyptian porphey. The dining room, however, was reserved for the passengers of the fourteen first-class cabins.

18

Although the emigrant passengers provided most of the voyages profit, they had primitive accommodations. They were virtually stowed in the tween decks and had to bring their own food and fight for a place at the stove to cook it. Beds were a wooden shelf, or tray-all this in a battened-down, heaving and pitching ship. The average length of passage across the Atlantic in these ships was 33 days. On the basis of that average, Lewis would have set sail for New York in April of 1848. Sometime after arriving in New York, Lewis headed for Pennsylvania. In the 1850 census, he was recorded as living in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. This census also recorded Lewis occupation as weaver and his birthplace as Wrttemberg. He was recorded as living with Roeller Himmelwright, a farmer (age 45) and his children; Joseph (age 15), Maryann (age 11), and William (age 7). Others recorded in this household were Angelina Roeller (age 17), Aaron Stricker, a farmer (age 27) and Hannah Stricker (age 17). That same year, 1850, he arrived at the Doylestown Court House, Bucks County, Pennsylvania to apply for citizenship. He filed his Declaration of Intent on September 16, 1850, at the courthouse to become a citizen of the United States. A copy of his declaration appears on page 20. The law at that time required the prospective citizen to be a resident of the United States for five years and a resident of the state for one year before the emigrant could complete the naturalization process. In addition, a citizen of the United States had to accompany the applicant to the court and affirm that the emigrant met the residency requirements. The citizen that accompanied the prospective emigrant also had to sign the emigrants petition to the court. Lewis completed the naturalization process on September 21, 1854, six years after he entered the country, by appearing before the Doylestown Court of Common Pleas. He signed an oath of allegiance to the United States and renounced allegiance to King Wilhelm. The citizen who affirmed that Lewis met the residency requirements and signed his petition was Marvitz Jacoby. (Note: This signature on Lewis petition is difficult to read so the spelling may not be correct). A copy of Lewis oath of allegiance (Final Petition) appears on page 21. As noted above, when Lewis emigrated, his surname was spelled Grzinger (umlaut above the o). This spelling, however, was later Americanized. It was typical to drop the umlaut and add an e after the o. In his marriage record published in 1854, Lewis Americanized sur-

name was spelled Groezinger. In the 1880 census, a t was added and his surname was spelled Groetzinger. Since the letter z has a built-in t sound, it is pronounced like the American ts so names with a z can be spelled with a t. In the 1884 church records of the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church of Trumbauersville and the 1900 census, the o was dropped and Lewis surname was spelled, as it appears today, that is Gretzinger. Lewis also was recorded as a communicant on May 9, 1854, in the records of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zion Hill, Springfield Township, Bucks County, Pa. The Stiefels were also members of this church, including Johanna Stiefel, his future wife.

19

One month prior to completing the naturalization process, Lewis married Johanna (aka Hannah) Stiefel of Milford Township. Rev. William B. Kammerer married them on Sunday, August 6, 1854. Lewis was 35 years old and Hannah was 24 when they married. Hannah was also an emigrant from Wrttemberg as were her parents, John Jacob Stiefel and Catharine Weisert. Hannah was born on Wednesday, August 4, 1830, in the town of Derdingen, in Wrttemberg, Germany.

Lewis and Hannah Gretzinger settled in Milford Township, an area first settled by German emigrants in the 1720-1730 time period. The residents petitioned the county court on June 13, 1734, to establish the boundaries of the township. At the time, there were five post villages: Trumbauersville, Milford Square, Geryville, Steinsburg and Spinnerstown.
When Lewis and Hannah settled in the township, they lived near Trumbauersville. The exact location is not known. They had six children, entries 2 through 7 on the descendants report, page 76. Initially, Lewis and his family were members of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, Springfield Township, Bucks County, and were probably members of this church at least through the death of Hannahs parents, John Stiefel in 1864 and Catharine in 1866. In all probability, the children of Lewis and Hannah were born and baptized while members of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. Zion Evangelical Lutheran church was organized in 1840, is still in existence today. One might surmise that the early church conducted services in German as the tombstones in the old section of the cemetery located directly behind the church were engraved in German. The first son of Lewis and Hannah is buried there. Some time after 1866, the family became members of the Christ Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville. The first church building in Trumbauersville, known as the Lower Milford Church or Trumbauers Church, was dedicated on May 4, 1769. The first regular Lutheran minister was the Rev. Philip H. Rapp. The church, however, was organized as a Union church with both Lutheran and Reformed ministers. This was typical with many early churches because of the expense to maintain separate churches. The first Reformed minister was the Rev. John Christopher Gobrecht, who emigrated from Hesse, Germany in 1753. At this time, Christ Church was associated with the Indian Creek and Tohickon churches to form the Tohickon charge. The first church was a log structure. The second, a stone building, for which Henry Stahler was contractor, was completed in 1805. The third edifice was built in 1868, close to the site of its predecessors. Its size was 62 feet by 46 feet. A picture of the church from the 1900s appears to the left. Lewis and his family attended services in this church as members of the Lutheran congregation. It was recorded in the 1880 census that Lewis was a farmer. Hannah was listed as keeping house, implying that she did not work outside the house. All of the children over the age of 14 worked in the local cigar factories-their occupations noted as cigar maker, including the daughters.

After Lewis retired from farming, he and his wife, Hannah, went to live in the Weidner household with their son-in-law, Charles H. Weidner, and daughter Caroline, and their grandchildren, Emma and Charles H. Weidner, Jr. Charles Jr. recalled that Lewis was a tall man who insisted that his name be spelled L-e-w-i-s and not L-o-u-i-s, which he said, was French. His grandson also recalled Lewis death on Wednesday, May 11, 1904, which was the result of a fall down a complete flight of steps in his daughters home. He was killed instantly. His death record reads:

Gretzinger-On May 11, 1904, in Trumbauersville, at the home of his son-in-law, Charles Weidner, Lewis Gretzinger, aged 85 years, 3 months and 27 days. He was a son of Charles and Margaret (Bl) Gretzinger, and was born in Rentling, Germany, January 14, 1819. He was dedicated to the Lord through the sacrament of baptism in infancy, and was confirmed in his 14th year, and became a member of the Lutheran Church. In 1848 he came to America. He was married to Hannah Stiefel August 6, 1854. Their union was blessed with six children, two sons and four daughters. One son and two daughters have died. His sickness was old age and the result of a fall. He lived to see 11 grandchildren, of whom one died. He is survived by his wife, one son, two daughters and ten grandchildren. Two sisters have gone before and are awaiting his coming. Services and interment at Christs Church, Trumbauersville, May 17, 1904.
After Lewis death, his wife, Hannah, continued to live with her daughter, Caroline and son-inlaw Charles H. Weidner, at 201 E. Broad St. This home was one of two identical homes built to the specifications written by Henry Gretzinger, Carolines brother. The other house, built by Henry and located at 50 North Main Street, was used by Henry and later by his son, Charles. Lewis wife, Hannah, remained in the Weidner home where she died on Thursday, June 11, 1914. The church notice of her death reads:

Gretzinger-On June 11, 1914 at the residence of her son-in-law, Charles Weidner, at Trumbauersville, Pa., of paralysis, Hannah, widow of Lewis Gretzinger, aged 83 years, 10 months, and 7 days. She was a daughter of Jacob Stiefel and his wife Catharine, nee Weisert. She was born in Wrttemberg, Germany, on August 4, 1830, and baptized in infancy, and, as is the custom in Germany, she was received, after due instruction, as a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church by the rite of confirmation at the age of 14 years. She was married to Lewis Gretzinger by the Rev. William B. Kemmerer on August 6, 1854. This union was blessed with two sons and four daughters. She lived to see eleven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She had a stroke on January 22, 1910 and was helpless ever since, most of the time being confined to bed. She is survived by one son, two daughters, nine grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, one brother and three sisters. One brother and three sisters died. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, June 14, in Christ Church, Trumbauersville. Interment in Christ Union cemetery, Trumbauersville.

Karl, or Charles in English, was the first child of Lewis and Hannah. He was born on Wednesday, May 16, 1855, probably in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. Karl lived a little over two years. He died on Friday, August 3, 1855, and was buried in the cemetery at Zion Hill Lutheran Church, Zion Hill, Pa. I visited the cemetery in July of 1998 and found his tombstone. I noted that it was inscribed in German and the surname was spelled as it was in Germany, that is Grzinger. A picture of his tombstone and an English Translation appears below.

The first daughter of Lewis and Hannah was Maryann. She was born Sunday, September 14, 1856, and confirmed on Saturday, October 28, 1871, in the Christ Lutheran Church of Trumbauersville. It is interesting to note that in the 1880 census, Maryann was not included in the household with her parents, Lewis and Hannah Gretzinger. She may have gone to live with relatives (possibly the Stiefels) in Philadelphia where she may have met her future husband who was born in Philadelphia. On Saturday, February 18, 1882, at the age of 27, she married Henry H. Moyer, age 29. After their marriage, Maryann and Henry resided in North Philadelphia at 2131 Fairhill Street, just south of Greenwood Avenue. They had three children (entries 8-10 page 76). Henrys occupation listed in the 1900 census was cigar maker. Maryanns husband, Henry, died of bronchitis at the age of 70 on Friday, April 27, 1917, and was buried on Tuesday, May 1, 1917, at Northwood Cemetery (Locust section, lot 45), 15th and Haines Streets, Philadelphia. Maryann died of colon cancer at the age of 72 and was buried on Saturday, December 1, 1928, in the same lot with her husband.

4. Henr yS . Gr etzin ger Henry S. Gretzin etzing

Henry S. Gretzinger was born in Trumbauersville on Thursday, November 12, 1857. On Saturday, November 8, 1873, at the age of 16 he was confirmed at Christ Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville. Henry could read and write and understand English (his parents could not). In the 1900 census records, his surname was the first to be spelled as it appears today, that is Gretzinger. At age 28, Henry married Ellamanda A. Hoff. She was 22 years old when they married on Saturday, September 26, 1885. Ellamanda, (also referred to as Ellen or Ella) was born on Tuesday, July 14, 1863, in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania as was her mother, Mary Amanda Levy, and father, Carey Hoff. She was baptized by Rev. P. Fisher on Friday, August 28, 1863, and later confirmed into the Reformed Church on Saturday, October 23, 1880, by Rev. F. J. Mohr. Ellamanda and Henry had two children.
Henry and Ellamanda had pictures taken at about the time of their marriage. Using my Personal Computer, I merged their photos into one as shown on page 27. Henry and Ellamanda lived at 54 North Main Street, Trumbauersville, in a home, which was owned by Ellamandas father, Carey Hoff. As recorded in the Doylestown Court House (Deed Book 265, page 152), Carey Hoff sold this property to Henry on April 24, 1894. This home was next to the lot (50-52 North Main Street) on which Henry would later build a home for his family.

My cousin, Paul E. Levy, mentioned that 50-52 N. Main was the proposed site of the parsonage for the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church. For some reason, however, the parsonage was not built, and Henry acquired the property. As recorded in Deed Book 289, page 294, Henry purchased this property from Elmer H. Levy on March 24, 1899.

Henry hand wrote the specifications for the house (a three-story, double frame house) he had built at 50-52 North Main Street. A photo taken about 1900 of this house appears on the next page. My sister, Dolores Seachrist, had the original specifications, a copy of which can be found at the end of these narratives beginning on page 62. Some specifications are highlighted below. Cellar Digging-cisterns were dug as deep as the cellar and were located under the front porch. The cisterns were used to collect rainwater from the gutters. This water was hand pumped to the kitchen for washing purposes. Lumber-all rough and framing lumber was to be hemlock. Floors were #2 yellow pine. Roofing-all roofs were slated with Chapman Boys slate, 12" X 24" with 3" lap. Plumbing-the only plumbing specifications were for the cisterns; therefore, I assume there was no running water for drinking purposes. There was an outdoor well (in the backyard under the grapevine) that was used for drinking purposes. Electrical-there were no specifications for electrical work; therefore, I assume the house had no electricity and was lighted by oil lamps. Paint-exterior paint was two coats of Lewis lead and linseed paints.

27

Coal Box-specifications called for a coal box, indicating the house was to be heated by coal. Hot Air Flues-three hot air flues were specified. One for the front room with floor register and two for the second floor bedrooms. The bathroom, located on the second floor above the kitchen, was to be heated by the kitchen range with a register in the floor of the bathroom. Double Back House-this spec was for an outside privy, 4 feet by 7 feet, with a slate roof. The photo below shows the outdoor privy to the left of the barn behind the house.

Henry and his family were also members of the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, in Milford Township, Trumbauersville. As noted previously, the current church structure was built in 1868. Henry was 11 years old when this building was built. In 1921 at age 64, Henry and his son, Charles, dedicated one of the stained glass windows, next to the organ, in this church (see insert). Henry was one of the teachers in the church school for the years 1891 to 1893. He was Treasurer of the Sunday school from 1894 through 1896. His wife, Ellamanda, was also a Sunday school teacher in 1896. Henry was appointed to the church council in 1906 at the age of 49. The church record describes the Sunday school Christmas festival for 1894 as follows: The Christ-

28

mas festival of Christs Union Sunday school, of Trumbauersville, was held on Christmas (Tuesday) evening. The decorations were very beautiful. The service entitled Christmas Glory was very well rendered. Short addresses were made by the Pastors, Reiter and Luckenbill. The offering amounted to $23.78. On Monday, March 21, 1897, Ellamandas father, Carey Hoff, died. Henry was the Administrator to his will. One of the relatives to receive an inheritance from the will was Careys granddaughter, Ellen Jane (Bartholomew, entry 78, page 313) Bressler. Ellen Jane married Charles Bressler on Saturday, July 28, 1894. Ellen and her husband signed a release on October 7, 1899, which provided their inheritance. The release reads: That we Ella Bressler and her husband, Charles Bressler, all of the city of Philadelphia and County of Philadelphia, one of the grandchildren, and her husband, of Carey Hoff, deceased late of Milford Township, Bucks County and State of Pennsylvania, do hereby acknowledge that we have this day had and received from Henry S. Gretzinger, Administrator of the aforesaid estate of Carey Hoff, deceased, the sum of $1,375.56 in full satisfaction and payment of all such sum or sums of money, due us out of my grandfathers estate as aforesaid. And therefore we Ella Bressler and Charles, her husband, do by these presents remise, quit-claim and forever discharge the said Henry S. Gretzinger, his heirs, executors and administrators, of and from the said sums of money that was coming to us as our full share of the Estate above mentioned and of and from all actions, suits, payments, reckonings, claims and demands whatsoever, for or by reason therefore, or of any act, matter, cause or thing whatsoever. The $1,375.56 inheritance in 1899 would be worth almost $50,000 today. Henry, like many residents of this area of Bucks County, was a cigar maker. As recorded in the 1900 and 1910 censuses, both his children also worked in local tobacco factories. The cigar making industry, as described in the History of Trumbauersville Bicentennial Issue 1776-1976, began prior to the Civil War. Much of the tobacco leaf was grown in Lancaster County where six million pounds was grown in 1860. After the Civil War, production had increased to more than 12 million pounds. In the late 1860s, people in Trumbauersville became interested in tobacco making. By 1876, there were about ten small shops, called Buckeye shops, often family owned employing less than a dozen people. Henry worked in one of these shops. Allen H. Levy owned a factory at 37 N. Main Street and employed more than 30 hands. Allen was the first cousin of Henrys wife, Mary Amanda Levy (Allen was my 1st cousin, three times removed. See genealogy report, Descendants of David Levy, page 317, entry 45). By the turn of the century, the industry had grown and so did the shops. Larger companies began moving in and convinced many of the smaller owners to rent their factories rather than compete. Allen Levy rented his factory to Theobald and Oppenheimer. Otto Eisenlohr & Bros. occupied a large three-story factory at 32 W. Broad Street (across the street from my childhood home at 21 W. Broad) that was built by the people of Trumbauersville through a stock sale of $50 per share. When completed, the Eisenlohrs moved in and Frank Levy (Henrys cousin and my 2nd

29

cousin) was foreman. Under Levys supervision, the business flourished. The Companys Cinco cigar became the most popular cigar in America and was sold from coast to coast. Cigar making required three kinds of tobacco leavesthe filler leaves which became the core of the cigar; the binder leaves which held the filler leaves together; and the wrapper leaves which became the external part of the cigar. The leaf tobacco was shipped to Philadelphia merchants who resold the leaf to the local factories. The tobacco was shipped by freight to Quakertown and then hauled the four miles to Trumbauersville by heavy wagon with a two-horse team. The tobacco was shipped in boxes weighing about 400 pounds, measuring 3x3x4 feet. When it arrived at the factory, it was taken to the cellar and opened by the Cellar Man. As he unpacked the boxes, he swept the leaves across the surface of a tub of water, piled them on a large table and covered them with a damp cloth. By the next morning, the tobacco was soft and pliable and ready for the Strippers. The strippers job was to remove the stem from the leaf. Afterwards, the stripped filler leaves were sent to the attic for drying. The stripped binder leaves were made into eight-ounce pads and kept damp until needed by the cigar maker. Stripping the wrapper leaves was a more delicate operation. Great care was taken to avoid tearing the leaves. The stripped wrapper leaves were passed to the Selector, who sorted them by size in rolls that would wrap 50 cigars. To assemble a cigar, the Cigar Maker spread out a binder leaf on his board and placed an amount of filler in his hand. The cigar maker then fashioned the filler into the proper length, rolled it into a binder leaf and twisted the ends of the binder leaf tightly to hold it in place. The unfinished cigar was then placed in a wooden mold that held ten cigars. The Cigar Maker was expected to make 100 cigars from eight ounces of binder leaves and one pound of filler leaves. The next step was to wrap the cigar. The wrapper leaves were almost as precious as gold. Each leaf was examined to determine how many cigars could be wrapped by one leaf. A normal sized leaf would wrap two cigars. The wrappers board was equipped with a gauge and cutter. The main function of wrapping was to roll the unfinished cigar into a wrapper leaf to give it a seamless appearance with a smoothly tapered head on one end. The other end was cut off to obtain the exact length. Next, each set of 50 cigars was bundled together with a band. The finished bundle was sent to the packing room. This room was equipped with skylights so the Packers could sort the cigars by color. The Packer would select 50 cigars of the same color and pack them in a box and nail the lid shut. At the end of the day, the filled cigar boxes were put in big presses where they remained overnight. The next day the boxes were opened and identifying bands were placed on each cigar. Once banded, the cigars had to be replaced in the box in the same order as they were removed. Experienced packers could pack 4000 cigars a day. The best Cigar Maker could make 500 cigars in a ten-hour day. They were paid $5 to $7 for each 1000 cigars they produced. At the $7 rate and working a six-day week, a Cigar Maker could earn more than $20 a week. In todays dollars, that wage would be equivalent to $50,000 a year.

30

Based on those wages, a good Cigar Maker would have been in the upper middle class. Undoubtedly, this is one reason why Henry could afford to build his home in Trumbauersville. A family portrait (see below) taken around 1901 shows the family to be well dressed, another indication that Henry and his family were reasonably well off. In 1908, Henrys wife, Ellamanda, died. Her death notice in the parish record reads: Gretzinger,-On March 13, 1908, at Trumbauersville, Bucks County, PA., Amanda, wife of Henry Gretzinger, aged 44 years, 7 months, and 29 days. She was a daughter of Cary Hoff and his wife Mary (nee Levy). She was born in Trumbauersville on the 14th day of July 1863. She was baptized on August 28, 1863, by Rev. P. Fisher. Confirmed by Rev. F. J. Mohr and received as a full member of the Reformed Church, October 23, 1880. She was married to Henry Gretzinger by Rev. D. H. Reiter, September 26, 1885. This union was blessed with one son and one daughter. She lived to see one grandchild. Her sickness was consumption; she had been sick since Christmas. The husband, one son and one daughter survive. Interment at Trumbauersville, March 17, 1908. Rev. D. H. Reiter spoke at the house and her Pastor, Rev. H. A. I. Benner, at the church.

Henry also built furniture, probably as a hobby rather than for pay. He built a childs rocking chair with a cloth back and seat, a rectangular stool and a childs cupboard. All of these items were painted white. They are in the possession of my cousin, Jane Hartwich, in her home in Arizona. After his wifes death, Henry and his daughter lived together as noted in the 1910 census. His daughter, however, died on Thursday, November 2, 1911, and after her death, Henry married Mary G. Freed. Mary was born in 1854, three years before Henry. She was married twice before, both husbands having passed away. The 1920 census shows Henry and Mary living together as husband and wife in a home that Mary owned at 11 East Broad Street in Trumbauersville. It is believed that Henry continued to live at this location with his second wife, Mary, until his death in 1933. The parish record of his death reads:

Gretzinger-On November 19, 1933 at his late residence at Trumbauersville, PA., Henry S. Gretzinger, aged 76 years and 7 days. He was the son of Lewis Gretzinger and his wife Hannah, nee Stiefel, and was born on November 12, 1857, in Milford Township. Holy baptism was administered in infancy. He was confirmed in Christs Lutheran Church and remained faithful until the time of his decease. He was united in marriage with Mary nee Freed. He is survived by his widow, one son, Charles, and three grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted at his late residence and in Christs Lutheran Church by Rev. E. E. Landis and Rev. J. B. Swartz. Interment on November 23, 1933, in Trumbauersville cemetery.
As noted above, Henrys second wife, Mary Freed, was married twice before she wed Henry. Marys first husband was John W. Brunner. John was born on Wednesday, September 12, 1855. He married Mary on Saturday, November 29, 1873. At the age of 47, John died on Monday, March 31, 1902. Four years later on Thursday, March 15, 1906, Mary married Edward W. Reiter. Edward was born on Tuesday, January 1, 1856. He died on Tuesday, August 17, 1909, at the age of 53, four years after he married Mary. About three years after Edward died, Mary married Henry S. Gretzinger. Mary lived to the age of 88, having passed away on Friday, June 19, 1936. She was buried in the Union Cemetery in Trumbauersville with her first husband, John W. Brunner. Her grave marker listed her name as Mary G. Brunner.

5. Car oline S . Gr etzin ger Caroline S. Gretzin etzing

The fourth child of Lewis and Hannah was Caroline, aka Carrie. She was born on Friday, December 10, 1858, in Trumbauersville and confirmed on Saturday, November 8, 1873, at Christ Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville. Ten years later on Saturday, November 17, 1883, she married Charles H. Weidner eidner. She was 25 years old and Charles was 27 when they wed. Charles was born on Tuesday, April 21, 1856, in Flourtown, Pa., and was the son of Henry Weidner and Mary Allabaugh Allabaugh. At the time of his wedding, Charles was employed at a local tobacco factory. In 1891, however, he owned his own broom making shop. His shop was in the barn behind his home.

The insert directly below is a photograph of Caroline S. Gretzinger. I estimate that it was taken about the time (1883) she married Charles H. Weidner. Also below to the right is a picture of Charles also taken about 1883 when he was 27 years old. At the bottom of the page is a picture of Caroline and Charles with their daughter taken about 1910.

After the death of Carolines mother-in-law, Mary A. (nee Allabaugh) Weidner in 1899, Caroline was appointed Allabaugh trustee of Marys will and received the proceeds ($1,329.51) from the sale of Marys property. In todays dollars, those proceeds would have been worth about $44,000 (at a 3.5% annual inflation rate). It appears that Carrie invested this money in various real estate properties. On November 1, 1900, she bought a property in Quakertown located on the East Side of Hellertown Ave. from Israel Weikel. She sold this property on July 3, 1903, to Albert J. Weiss. On January 16, 1902, Carrie bought another property in Quakertown located on the south side of Broad Street between 6th and 7th Streets owned by William and Emma Weiner. She sold this property on March 28, 1903, to Minnie Transue. In Trumbauersville, Caroline bought a property on North Main Street (probably number 125) near the cemetery from Serphian Shup(e) on January 1, 1896.

Carrie sold the Trumbauersville property on August 2, 1902, to Charles Dubbs. About that time, Carrie and her family moved to a new home that was built at 201-203 East Broad Street, Trumbauersville. A photo of this home as it appears today is shown below. Note that this home is almost identical to the one built by Carolines brother, Henry Gretzinger. (A picture of his home appears on page 28.). Both homes were undoubtedly built from the same specifications. Carries husband, Charles Weidner, was a direct descendant (2nd great-grandson) of Daniel Weidner, who played a role in the Fries Rebellion. This rebellion was in opposition to the property tax levied by the Federal Government in 1798. (See Chapter 9, page 291).

Original Home of Charles and Carrie (nee Gretzinger) Weidner

The first property assessed in Milford Township was the Trumbauersville home of Daniel Weidner, believed to be the home at 301 N. Main Street. His property was assessed on March 9, 1799.

34

Carrie had two children, Emma and Charles H. Jr. (entries 13 and 14, page 77). It is interesting to note that she was 32 years old when her daughter was born and 42 years old when her son was born. The 1920 census stated that her husbands occupation was broom maker and that he owned his own shop. As noted earlier, his shop was in the barn behind his house at 201 East Broad Street. He raised the corn stalk for his brooms behind his shop. It was estimated that Charles produced more than 40,000 brooms and 2,000 whisks in his lifetime. Caroline died suddenly at the age of 75 on Sunday, July 9, 1933. She was buried at Christ Union Cemetery in Trumbauersville. Her husband, Charles, lived to the age of 89. He died on Tuesday, October 9, 1945, and also was buried at Christ Union Cemetery, Trumbauersville.

6. Hannah Amanda Gr etzin ger Gretzin etzing

Lewis and Hannahs third oldest daughter, Hannah Amanda, was born on Monday, May 6, 1861, in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. At the young age of 23, she died of typhoid. Christ Lutheran Church records listed her death as follows:

Gretzinger-On Dec. 27, 1884, near Trumbauersville, of typhoid pneumonia, Hannah Amanda Gretzinger, aged 23 years, 7 mos. and 21 days. She was the daughter of Lewis and Hannah (Stiefel) Gretzinger, and was born in Milford, Bucks County, May 6, 1861. In infancy she was baptized by Rev. F. Waage, the parents being the sponsors. On November 6, 1875, she was confirmed and received as a member of Christs Ev. Luth. Church of Trumbauersville, by O. F. Waage. She was sick 13 weeks. She leaves father, mother, a brother (Henry) and 3 sisters (Maryann, Caroline and Catharine). Interment at Trumbauersville, December 31, 1884.

7. Catharine S . Gr etzin ger S. Gretzin etzing

The fourth daughter, Catharine S., was born on Thursday, September 7, 1865, in Bucks County, Pa. On Saturday, April 16, 1887, at the age of 22, she married Oswin C. Nace Nace, son of John Nace and Elamina Samsel Samsel. Oswin was born on Monday, September 8, 1856. He was employed by a local tobacco factory and was 31 years old when he married Catharine Gretzinger. They had four children (entries 15 through 18 on the descendants report page 77). Oswin and Catharine were married for only 11 years when Oswin died at the age of 41. His death notice in the Parish Record reads:

Nace-On January 28, 1898, in Trumbauersville, of acetonuria and heart failure, Oswin Charles Nace, aged 41 years, 4 months and 20 days. He was a son of John and Elamina (Samsel) Nace, and was born in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa., September 8, 1856. On November 23, 1856, he was baptized by Rev. F. Waage. The sponsors were Charles and Maria Samsel.
35

In the year of 1875 he was received as a member of the Lutheran Church at Ridge Valley, through the rite of confirmation by Rev. Samuel Ziegenfuss. He was married to Catharine Gretzinger, April 16, 1887. Their union was blessed with four children, one son and three daughters. To mourn his early call from this world to the home beyond are the widow, four children, father and two brothers. He was confined to bed for only three days and his death was quite unexpected. Interment at Christs Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville. Rev D. H. Reiter officiated at the house and Rev. J. H. Waidelich at the church.
After Oswins death, it appears that Lewis and Hannah went to live with their daughter, Catharine, to help care for her four young children, ages 2, 5, 7 and 9. The 1900 census indicated that the head of the Nace household was Mrs. Oswin C. Nace. Also living in the Nace household were Catharines daughters, Carolina, Ada, and Mary, and her son, Charles L. The census also noted that Lewis and Hannah Gretzinger were boarders in this household. Lewis was 81 years old and Hannah was 70 years old. Lewis was semi-retired. His occupation (later noted on his death certificate) was carpet weaver. He undoubtedly had stopped farming at this age and resumed his previous occupation. Five years after Oswins death, his widow, Catharine, died at the age of 37. Her death notice in the Parish Record reads:

Nace-On January 6, 1903, in Trumbauersville, Catharine, widow of Oswin Nace, aged 37 years, 5 months and 29 days. She was a daughter of Lewis and Hannah (Stiefel) Gretzinger, and was born in Milford Township, September 7, 1865. In infancy she was baptized by Rev. F. Waage. In 1879, she was confirmed by Rev. O. F. Waage and became a communicant member of Christs Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville. On April 16, 1887, she was married to Oswin Nace, Rev. J. L. Becker officiating. Their union was blessed with four children, one son and three daughters. Her husband died in January 1898. The disease of which she died was consumption, and had been in failing health for two years. She was confined to bed five weeks and two days. She is survived by her parents, one son, three daughters, one brother (Henry) and two sisters (Maryann and Caroline); one brother (Karl) and one sister (Hannah Amanda) preceded her to the home where sorrows and partings are unknown. Services and interment at Christs Church, Trumbauersville, March 11, 1903. Text, John 14:18.
After the death of Oswin and Catharine (nee Gretzinger) Nace, Lewis Gretzinger and his wife, Hannah, went to live with their son-in-law, Charles H. Weidner, and daughter, Caroline. One of the Nace children, Charles L. Nace (age 7), also went to live with Charles and Caroline Weidner. Charles H. Shup and his wife, Emma Levy, of Trumbauersville, adopted the youngest Nace daughter, Mary, age 10. It is not known where the other two daughters, Caroline and Ada went to live. Their ages at the time of their mothers death were 14 and 12, respectively.

Childr en of Henr y Gr etzin ger and Ellamanda Hoff Children Henry Gretzin etzing 11. Charles H. Gr etzin ger Gretzin etzing
Charles was born on Friday, May 14, 1886, in Trumbauersville, Pa. Two months later on the fourth of July 1886, he was baptized in the Christ Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville. At the age of 15 on Saturday, November 2, 1901, Charles was confirmed in the Christ Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville. Charles and his younger sister, Lillie, attended the Trumbauersville grammar school. In a souvenir booklet for the 1896-1897 school year, Charles and Lillie were listed as grade school pupils. A copy of the booklet appears on the next page. 38

When I examined the booklet, I noticed that Charles was listed in First Grade and his sister, Lillie, was listed in Third Grade. Charles, however, was two years older then Lillie. I would have expected to find Charles in a higher grade than Lillie. Two of Charles classmates, Harry B. Levy and Ada J. Brunner, were also about the same age as Charles. Harry B. Levy was born in 1885, as was Ada Brunner. It appears that the students listed in First Grade were older than ten years of age. The Second Grade pupils all appear to be about ten years of age. Edith H. Reiter was born April 6, 1886, and Clarence D. Huber was born June 16, 1886. The Third Grade pupils appear to be less than nine years of age. Lillie Gretzinger was eight as was Ella Huber. Carrie Nase (Nace) was seven. Pearle Huber, Emma Weidner and Edith Barndt were six years old. Minnie Huber and Addie Nase (Nace) were five years of age. One possible explanation for the difference in ages and grades is that the printer of the souvenir booklet made an error. The pupils listed as First Grade were the Third Grade and those listed as Third Grade students were the First Grade pupils. Another interesting observation about the listing of these students was their relationship to Charles H. Gretzinger. Addie and Carrie Nase (Nace) and Emma Weidner were Charles first cousins (their common ancestor was Lewis Gretzinger). Harry and Howard Levy were first cousins, once removed (their common ancestor was Nathan Levy).
Charles future wife, Ella (Ellen) Huber, was also a classmate. Their marriage would result in additional relationshipstwo sisters-in-law, Pearle and Minnie Huber, and a brother-in-law, Clarence D. Huber. Of the total number of pupils (87) listed in this souvenir booklet, Charles was or would be related to nine of them, or more than ten percent. Trumbauersville was truly a small town. When I was growing up in the 1940s, the population was about 500. In the late 1800s, I would assume the population was even less. After grade school, Charles, and many of his schoolmates were employed in one of the local tobacco factories in Trumbauersville.

39

When he reached the age of 21, Charles married Ellen (Ella) Dubbs Huber on Saturday, January 5, 1907. Ella was 19 years old when they married. Their portrait appears below.

Por trait-Charles H. Gr etzin ger & Ella Dubbs (Huber) Gr etzin ger Portrait-Charles Gretzin etzing Gretzin etzing Circa 1907

After their marriage in 1907, Charles and Ella lived with Ellas mother, Emma R. Huber. In the 1910 census they were recorded as boarding in Emmas house. Emma was listed as a proprietress of a boarding home. The home was located on North Main Street in Trumbauersville. It was the second house from the intersection of Broad and Main Streets on the East Side of the street. Emmas husband, Oswin Huber, abandoned her and their six children in 1904. Emma supported herself and family by operating her home as a boarding house. She owned this home but there was a mortgage on the property.

40

Also living in the house at this time was Charles and Ellas son, Ralph, four of Emmas sons (William L., Harold D., Percy D., and Clarence D.), Clarences wife, Lydia, a grandson, Howard H., her daughter, Pearl M., and Pearls husband, Frederick Slifer. Sometime around 1907, Charles and his wife visited Willow Grove Park where they had a photo taken (see insert). The photo appears on the back of a post card from the park. The 1920 census shows Charles and his family, wife Ella, sons Ralph and Wilmer, and daughter Myrtle, living at a home on Main Street, Trumbauersville, that he rented. I presume that this is the home at 50 North Main Street that Henry, Charles father, built. This home was a two family dwelling with separate front and side entrances. As noted earlier, the specifications for this house are listed at the end of this chapter. Charles lived in the dwelling on the south side of the two family home. Coal and wood were used to heat the cooking stove. The original heating system was a coal-fired hot air furnace in the basement. The hot air rose through floor registers in the Charles & Emma Gr etzin ger , Gretzin etzing er, living and dining rooms. The upstairs rooms were not heated, circa 1907 except for a floor register in the bathroom. I also recall a pot belly stove that was used to heat the second family dwelling in this house. It was located in the living room on the first floor. Charles and his family were members of the Christ Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville. He was a member of the church council in 1917 and served as Treasurer and Secretary of the Union Sunday school. It is my understanding that Charles left the Lutheran Church to become a member of the Christ Reformed Church because of differences with the Lutheran minister, Rev. H. O. Heller. Reformed services were held in the same church as the Lutheran congregation; however, services were alternated every Sundayone Sunday the Lutherans had a morning service, the next Sunday the Reformed congregation had its service. The Sunday school, however, continued to be operated as a union school for both denominations. As a boy, I recall that most every Sunday dinner was at my grandparents, Charles and Ellas, home. On Saturday, my father would buy a live chicken from his brother-in-laws parents, the Hartwichs. He would take the chicken to my grandmothers house where he would chop off the head with an ax. I vividly recall the headless chicken fluttering and spewing blood through the high grass behind the garden until it died. The chicken head went to the hunting dog Belle.

My job along with my brother and sister was to help pluck the feathers from the dead carcass after it was dumped in boiling water. On Sunday precisely at 12 noon we would sit down for chicken dinner with dumplings. Desserts were special. In the summer months, there were all kinds of pie. My favorites were sour cherry and apricot crumb, followed closely by fresh raspberry and rhubarb pie.

Graduatin g Class Bethlehem Business Colle ge -1924 Graduating Colleg

Charles H. Gretzinger is in the first row of men directly below the row of standing women. He is the third male from the left.

In 1922 at the age of 36, Charles began studies at the Bethlehem Business College, Bethlehem, Pa. and graduated in 1924. His wife, Ella, often told us that she put her husband through college by making cigars. His graduating class was comprised of 36 women and 17 men. Above is a picture of his graduating class. My grandpop, Charles, was also a hunter. He would hunt small gamepheasant, squirrel and rabbit, as well as larger game like deer. After successful hunts, my grandmother would make pheasant, squirrel and/or rabbit pie or venison (deer) roast. The first dinner that my wife had at Grammy Ellas home was squirrel pie. We told her it was chicken, but the shotgun pellets in the pie gave us away. On one hunting occasion, a fellow hunter shot my grandfather. I recall that he was hit by a shotgun blast and some pellets hit him in the back of the head. Thank God that the wound was not too serious. On another occasion, he invited me on a hunting trip for small game. I was probably about ten or 11 years old. All I can recall was endless walking, being tired, cold and full of prickles from the bushes in the woods. That cured me of any further notion about hunting.

42

I also recall that my grandparents had raised a pig. Occasionally, I would slop the pig. After the pig matured, it was butchered. I believe that my great uncle, Harold (Hap) Huber, did the butchering (he was the local butcher). My grandfather made homemade scrapple from the pig, although Im not sure what parts of the pig he used to make his scrapple. I also recall my grandmother cooking stuffed pigs stomach. The stuffing was made of seasoned mashed potatoes. She also cooked pigs knuckles. After graduating from Business College, Charles held a number of business positions. He was President of the Sellersville Savings and Loan and its Director for 30 years. He was Secretary of the Trumbauersville Water Department for 14 years and Borough secretary for a number of years. He also was a bookkeeper for the Roig cigar factory. He also filled out tax returns for many of the local residents. I recall him working at the dining room table as a number of people waited in turn for him to fill out their tax forms. In the 1930s, Charles also was working in the post office. On Monday, June 18, 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed him Postmaster of the Trumbauersville post office. At that time, post-master positions were political appointments. He held that position until he retired at age 66 in 1952. He was diabetic, and he began to loose his eyesight. He died two days before Christmas on Tuesday, December 23, 1952, several months after he retired. The published death notice stated:

Gretzinger, Charles, Trumbauersville, PA. died. Dec. 23, 1952, in Quakertown Hospital, age 66: son of Henry and Ellamanda Hoff Gretzinger. Leaves widow, Ella Huber Gretzinger, son Ralph Gretzinger of Stroudsburg, Pa., son Wilmer H. Gretzinger of Trumbauersville, and daughter Myrtle Hartwich, of Phoenix, Arizona. Interment Christ Reformed Cemetery.
My grandmother, Ella, continued to live in her home at 50 N. Main Street. Her daughter, Myrtle, and her family lived in the other dwelling (north side) of the family house. Sometime after Myrtle, her husband and two children moved to Arizona, my sister Dolores (Gretzinger) Seachrist and her family rented that half of the home. Ellas pride and joy was her garden. It was fairly large, about 30 feet by 100 feet. She grew many vegetablescorn, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, onions, etc. She also raised horseradish root which she would grind fresh herself. Wow, what an aroma! She canned many of her vegetables. She also had apple trees, which provided the ingredients for her apple tarts and applesauce. She would also dry sliced apples in the attic; she called the dried apples apple schnitz (spelling may not be correct). One spring day in 1964 while working in her garden, she suffered a stroke. She was rushed to Quakertown Community Hospital where she died a few days later on Saturday, May 16, 1964. She was 75 years old. She was buried next to her husband, Charles, at the Union Cemetery, Trumbauersville, Pa.

12. Lillie Gr etzin ger Gretzin etzing

Lillie was born on Tuesday, July 3, 1888, in Trumbauersville. A picture of her was taken when she was about 18 years old. A copy is shown on the following page.

43

Family members recalled that she was about to become engaged to a Strunk (the Undertaker family from Quakertown) when she was 23. However, before she became engaged, she contracted typhoid and was sick for sixteen days. She did not survive the disease. Her death notice recorded in the parish record reads:

Gretzinger-On November 2, 1911, of typhoid fever and paralysis of the heart, Lillie H. Gretzinger, aged 23 years, 3 months and 29 days. She was the daughter of Henry S. Gretzinger and his wife Ellamanda, nee Hoff. She was born in Trumbauersville on July 3, 1888 and baptized by Rev. D. H. Reiter on the 18th of August 1888. After due instruction in the Christian religion as taught and confessed by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Trumbauersville, she was received into full membership of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church of Trumbauersville, Pa., on October 28, 1905, by Rev. D. H. Reiter. She was sick for sixteen days. The funeral was held on November 7, 1911, in Christs Church. Interment took place in the Trumbauersville cemetery. She is survived by her father, one brother and the paternal grandmother.
It is interesting to note that both Lillie and her aunt, Hannah Amanda Gretzinger, died at the age of 23 and that they both died of typhoid fever. The parish record also listed the following resolution adopted by the Christs Lutheran League on December 3, 1911:

Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst, on Thursday, November 2, 1911, our friend and fellow member, Miss Lillie Gretzinger, who by her irreproachable character has endeared herself to many friends, who will ever hold her in grateful remembrance.

Emma died on Sunday, January 28, 1940. She was 50 years old when she died and was buried at Christ Union Cemetery in Trumbauersville. Twelve years after Emma passed away, her husband, Charles, died on Friday, March 28, 1952. He was 64 at the time of his death. Charles was also buried at Christ Union Cemetery in Trumbauersville.

The first child of Catharine and Oswin was Caroline, who was also known as Carrie. She was born on Wednesday, March 6, 1889, in Trumbauersville. When she was ten years old, her father died, and five years later in 1903 her mother died. With both parents dead, she probably went to live with one of her aunts. At the age of 16 on Saturday, October 28, 1905, Carrie was confirmed into the Christ Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville. Three years later on Saturday, November 21, 1908, she married Clayton G. Stull Stull. Even though she was confirmed in the Lutheran Church, she was married in the Reformed Church in Trumbauersville. Carrie and her husband had three children, all boys (entries 28 through 30). She died on Saturday, May 27, 1939, in Trumbauersville at the age of 50. The date of her husbands death is not known.

16. Ada Nace

Ada, aka Addie, was born on New Years Day 1891a Thursdayin Trumbauersville. As discussed above, her father died in 1898 and her mother in 1903. Addie was only 12 when she became an orphan. She also probably went to live with one of her aunts.

45

Addie was confirmed on the same day, Saturday, October 28, 1905, as her sister, Carrie, into Christ Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville. About seven years later, she married Charles (Tom) Reinhar t. They had one child (entry 31), but she died at the age of 12. Reinhart. Addie and Tom Reinhart owned a convenience store in Trumbauersville. As a boy, I often recall going to their store for ice cream or a soda. They also sold hardware and had two gasoline pumps in front of the store by the sidewalk.

Tom died in 1975. He was about 80 or 85 years old. It is not known when Addie died or where they were buried.

17. Mar y Nace Mary

The third daughter, Mary, was born Wednesday, January 18, 1893, also in Trumbauersville. Mary was ten years old in 1903 when she became an orphan. A family in Trumbauersville, Charles Shup and his wife Emma Levy adopted her. Mary was confirmed with her sisters on Saturday, October 28, 1905, into the Christ Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville. She was 12 years old when she was confirmed. She later married Charles Elmer Wieand. The marriage date is not known. It is also not known if she had any children.

18. Charles Le wis Nace Lewis

The youngest child, Charles, was born on Thursday, September 19, 1895, in Trumbauersville. When he became an orphan, he went to live with his aunt, Caroline (nee Gretzinger) Weidner. He married a woman by the name of Rose; her maiden name is not known. It is also not known if they had children. Charles also spelled his surname as Nase. A picture of all four Nace children was taken about 1901, two years before their mother died. A copy appears to the left.

20. R alph H. Gr etzin ger Ralph Gretzin etzing

A second son, Ralph, was born on Saturday, January 9, 1909, also in Trumbauersville. On Friday, December 29, 1939, he married Dorothy Sophie Saznski Saznski. Ralph was 30 years old when they married and Dorothy was 23. Dorothy was born on Tuesday, February 22, 1916, in h. They had three children, Bethlehem, Pa., and was the daughter of John Saznski and Stella Sec Sech two daughters and a son. Ralph was handy around the home. He made a number of improvements to the home at 50 N. Main Street, Trumbauersville, including the installation of indoor toilet facilities. He also built a recreational club on the second floor of the barn behind the house. He and his family later relocated to Stroudsburg, Pa., but returned to the area around Bethlehem and Hellertown in Lehigh County, Pa. Ralphs wife, Dorothy, died at the age of 61 on Wednesday, March 16, 1977. She was living in Hellertown at the time of her death. Ralph died 15 years after his wife on Thursday, November 12, 1992, in Bethlehem. He was 83 at the time of his death.

21. W ilmer H. Gr etzin ger Wilmer Gretzin etzing

Wilmer H., my father, was born on Tuesday, January 9, 1912. He completed grade school and went to work in the hosiery mill as an operator of a knitting machine. The mill was located on Hellertown yer , who also was working there. Avenue in Quakertown. At the mill, he met Grace Bo Boy er, e. They yer and her mother was Anna May (or Mae) Tr umbor Trumbor umbore Graces father was Robert Emery Bo Boy had six children, Grace being the youngest. The genealogy of the Boyers is included as Chapter 3.

Wilmer and Grace were married on Saturday, June 4, 1932. Wilmer was 20 years old and Grace was 19 when they married. Graces father, Robert Emery Boyer, objected to the marriage; however, they married despite his objection. Rev. Landis married them in a home located on the upper end of Broad Street in Quakertown. Another couple also was married on the same day with them. The other bride was the daughter of Carey Fretz, Ruth, the woman who lived with my mothers family after her mother died in 1925. Ruths husband was Lester Schaffer. A portrait of the double wedding party appears on the next page. Wilmers and Graces first apartment was above the Karlton Theater on Broad Street in Quakertown (the location was subsequently occupied by a Script Drug store). While living at this location, I, their first son (entry 35, page 78), was born on Monday, New Years Day 1934. About a year later, they bought a three-story row home in Trumbauersville, at 21 West Broad Street. At this location, a second child, a daughter, (entry 36) was born. Two years later, a second son, Ronald W. (entry 37) was born. The row home at 21 W. Broad Street had three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room and kitchen and a full, floored attic. The house was electrified, but there was no indoor toilet and no running water. There was an outdoor two seater privy. Water was brought into the house by buckets from a well behind the house next to the barn. The home was originally heated by a potbelly stove on the first floor. This stove was replaced by a hot water radiator system fired by a coal furnace in the basement. 48

As a boy, one of my jobs was to take the ashes from the furnace in a bucket and dump them on the driveway in the rear of the property. This furnace was later converted to an oil-fired unit. My father added an indoor toilet and running water. In the rear of the property was a large twostory barn that was used as a garage.

In the summer of 1942, a picture was taken of my mother and her three children, myself, my sister and my brother. The picture was taken in the backyard of our home at 21 West Broad Street, Trumbauersville, Pa. We stood in front of our neighbors (the Mitzlers) flower garden. A copy of that picture appears on this page. My father, Wilmer, continued to work in the hosiery mill until 1944 when he was drafted into the United States Army at the age of 32. He was drafted on March 7, 1944. I have researched his military experience and have included the results of my research in Chapter 6.

My dad was discharged on September 12, 1945. He returned home and resumed work in a hosiery mill on 9th Street, Quakertown, Pa. In 1947, he bought a new Kaiser automobile, which he replaced with a new Plymouth in 1954. In the late 1950s, there was labor pressure from non-unionized labor which forced many hosiery mills to move south. My dads mill cut its workweek and began to lay off workers. He worked part time for a number of years and was also on unemployment. My mother later told me that in the early 1963, my father began to experience severe headaches. He was taking a large number of aspirins to relieve the pain. He made an appointment in the summer of 1963 to see a doctor; however, before he saw the doctor he was rushed to the hospital. He had extremely high blood pressure and died the day after he was admitted to the hospital. His date of death was Tuesday, July 30, 1963, and he died in the Quakertown Memorial Hospital. He was only 51 years old. My dad was buried on Saturday, August 3, 1963, in Christ Union Cemetery, Trumbauersville. For the next 15 years, my mother continued to live in their home at 21 W. Broad Street in Trumbauersville. When she turned 65 in 1978, she sold her house and relocated to a senior citizens complex, the Grundy House at 1611 Park Avenue, Quakertown, Pa. She remained there until health problems (congestive heart failure) forced her to move to a nursing home.

50

On August 22, 2000, she was admitted to the Rockhill Mennonite Community nursing home in Telford, Pa. Her condition, however, deteriorated and she died at 11:30 AM, Saturday, September 9, 2000, fourteen days before her 87th birthday. She was buried at the Union Cemetery in Trumbauersville next to my dad on Thursday, September 14, 2000. A memorial service was held at her church, East Swamp Mennonite, in Quakertown on the morning of the burial. One of the last pictures taken of my mom was with her great-great-grandson, Ryan Mallon. It was taken when Ryan was four months old. That picture appears below.

Richard C. was born on Monday, January 1, 1934. I graduated from Quakertown High School in 1951. In the early 1950s, many 18-year-old males were being drafted into military service to fight in the Korean War. In the spring of 1953, I received a draft notice to report for my physical examination. I passed the physical and was scheduled to be drafted. To avoid being drafted into the infantry, I enlisted on July 15, 1953, for three years in the Signal Corps so that I could attend electronics school. I finished eight weeks of basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky and was assigned to Fort Devens, Massachusetts to await my training assignment. About four weeks later, I was transferred to the Signal Corps at Camp Gordon, Georgia where I completed a six-month radio equipment repair course. After completion of this training, I was promoted to Private First Class and assigned to a Signal Corps unit at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I served in this unit for about one year and was promoted to Corporal. After my promotion, I requested a transfer to the Army Security Agency in Fort Devens, Massachusetts to attend another six-month course in electronics. Upon completion of this course, I was promoted to Sergeant (Specialist Second Class) and was assigned as an instructor at this school. I was discharged in July 1956 and as a veteran of the Korean War received veteran benefits to attend college. I enrolled in Lehigh University in September of 1956 as an engineering major. There were about ten other Korean veterans who were in many of my engineering classes. Since we were about four to five years older then the average freshman and were commuters, we formed our own fraternity.

Since the GI Bill covered only my tuition, I worked weekends and summers as a painter. The painting contractor for whom I worked specialized in restoring greenhouses. Working inside a greenhouse in the summer was hot as H. I swore that I would never again paint any structure that had a glass roof. While at Lehigh, I joined an off-campus German/American mens chorus called the Beethoven Mannerchor. Our director, Mr. Herbert Fisk, was a visiting conductor from St. Josephs University, Philadelphia. He also conducted a German/American chorus in Reading, Pa. I graduated from Lehigh with a BS in electrical engineering in June 1960. When I graduated, engineers were in great demand. I had offers from IBM, GE, Westinghouse and Bell of Pa. Because Bell of Pa.s training program offered opportunities at Bell Labs and AT&T, I accepted employment with Bell of Pa. and relocated to Drexel Hill, about five miles west of Philadelphia. I joined a swimming and tennis club in Drexel Hill and there I met my future wife, Regina ( Jean) Caffarina, who was also a member of the club. On one of our early dates, I took her to a concert Caffarina performed by the Beethoven Mannerchor. Before the concert, I was about to introduce her to our conductor when she said, Hello Mr. Fisk. He answered, Hello Jean. I was dumbfounded. How did they know each other? It turned out that Jean sang in Mr. Fisks chorus at St. Josephs University, Philadelphia, Pa. Small world! Jean and I were married the following year on Saturday, September 16, 1961.

The summer of 1963 had its highs and lows. We bought our first home, at 225 Hill Road, Havertown, Pa., in June. My father, Wilmer H., died suddenly at age 51 on July 30th, and our first child, Carolyn, was born two weeks later on August 18th. Later that year as part of a Bellsponsored training program, I attended a Business Management course for engineers conducted at the Wharton School of Business, University of Pa. It was a two-year night school program that I attended from September 1963 to June 1965.

55

After completing the Wharton School program, I was transferred to Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ. My wife and I and our two-year old daughter relocated to Plainfield, NJ. I spent a year in formal classroom studying solid state electronics and high-speed transmission. My assignments at the Labs included the electronic switching and the video transmission departments. This assignment was my first exposure to scientists who conducted pure basic research. About once a month, one of the research departments would present a summary of their work. Some of the research was really way out. One of the more memorable presentations dealt with the mating calls of a certain frog (the precise species eludes me). Maybe it was this type of research that prepared me for my promotion on January 15, 1967, to Director of Market Research, but I doubt it. We returned to Havertown in January of 1967. Our son, Richard, was born on November 18, 1967. Four years later I was offered a transfer to AT&T Headquarters in the Budget Analysis section, at 195 Broadway, New York City. After eleven years in engineering, I was excited about this assignment as it meant a career change. This transfer, however, meant another relocation. We moved to Morris Plains, NJ, a small borough just north of Morristown and purchased a home at 4 Lealand Road. We enjoyed living in north Jersey and its close proximity to NYC. My office at 195 Broadway in lower Manhattan was about a block and a half from the construction site of the World Trade Towers. It was interesting to watch the towers rise from a gigantic hole in the ground to more than 100 floors. (On September 11, 2001, I watched television in horror as the towers came crashing down as the result of the terrorists). My responsibilities at AT&T involved construction budget analysis for Pacific Bell, Nevada Bell, Michigan Bell and Ohio Bell. Three times a year I visited each of these companies to review my analysis of their budgets. I met with each companys Assistant Vice President responsible for the construction budget. The Pacific Bell meetings were in San Francisco, the Nevada Bell meetings in Reno, the Michigan Bell meetings in Detroit, and the Ohio Bell meetings in Cleveland. I truly enjoyed this assignment. In January of 1975, I was reassigned to Bell of Pa. We relocated from NJ to Spring House, Pa., a small village just north of Ambler, where we built a new home and vowed never to move again. Even though we live in Spring House, we had to take an Ambler mailing address to have our mail delivered curbside. The Spring House post office offers only postal boxes. Between 1975 and 1984, I held a number of engineering and operations assignments, and with the Divestiture of the Bell System in 1984, I was assigned to the newly- formed regional holding company, Bell Atlantic. I was transferred to the Financial Department of Bell Atlantic in Philadelphia. My Bell Atlantic responsibilities included capital recovery and rate base pricing. I also served as the Company witness on capital recovery issues during rate case hearings in Harrisburg. After more than 34 years of service, I decided to retire in September of 1994. I wanted to devote a lot more time to my hobby, genealogy. My wife, to, had an interesting career. She was working for Allen-Bradley, a manufacturer and distributor of electronic components, as a sales assistant when we married. She continued to work until our first child was born in 1963. She resumed work in 1978 with our neighbor, John

56

Jones, whose wife, Ellen, died of cancer in 1980, was Jeans best friend. They started a business in our neighbors basement to plan medical symposia offering Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits to the health-care professionals. To obtain CME accreditation, my wife worked with the CME Director of the sponsoring university. She also obtained speakers of the top medical practitioners and researchers in the country to present new and innovative medical research. Over the years, she developed an impressive cadre of speakers. The business, Symposia Associates, grew rapidly and moved to an office complex in 1980. In 1984, the business took a new direction into medical telemarketing and was renamed TeleRx. My wife did not like the change and decided to leave. In 1985, she took a position as Director of Medical Symposia for a medical meeting planning company, Symedco, in Princeton, NJ. In 1990, she was offered a similar position in Philadelphia where she formed a new medical symposia department for McGettigen Corporate Services. Her job required a lot of travel. I accompanied her to some of her more interesting locations, sometimes as her audio/visual technician. The most interesting meeting sites were Alaska, Hawaii and Bermuda. When I retired in 1994, my wife decided to stop working full time and work only as a consultant. Now she gets to pick and choose her jobs. In 1997, she had meetings in New Orleans and Walt Disney World and I went along as her assistant. No pay but the benefits are great! My wife and I continue to reside in the village of Spring House, Upper Dublin Township, Montgomery County, Pa., at 1719 Benjamin Drive. Below is a photo of our family taken on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2002. We are standing in the living room of our home at the conclusion of our Easter dinner.

CHAPTER 3
Ba yer/Bo yer Genealo Bay er/Boy Genealogy gy
Intr oduction Introduction
Research of my Boyer ancestry began with information from my mother and my aunt. My mother recalled that her father was from a large family and that they lived in Quakertown. She also told me that one of her uncles, William Boyer, was buried in Christ Union Cemetery in Trumbauersville. My aunt, Gertrude (nee LaBarre) Boyer provided me with a listing of her children. She also gave me the funeral home death notice of one of my mothers aunts, Estella Boyer. With this family information I expanded my research by using a number of outside sources. The first source was the vital records on file in the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Their records include birth and death certificates from the year 1906 to the present. Copies of these records are available to blood relatives. I obtained a copy of my grandfathers (Robert Emery Boyer) death certificate. From this certificate I learned that he was born in Steinsburg, Pa. I also learned that his fathers name was John Boyer and that he was born in Montgomery County. The death certificate recorded that Roberts mother was Dianna Wolf and that she was born in Lehigh County. I also obtained a copy of my great grandfathers ( John Boyer) death certificate. From his certificate, I learned that Johns father was Henry W. Boyer and he was born in Montgomery County. Johns death certificate listed his mother as Miss Hersh. I assume her name was recorded as Miss to indicated that Hersh was her maiden name. Tomb stone inscriptions were my second source of information. During a visit to the Christ Union Cemetery in Trumbauersville, my mother showed me the burial site for William Boyer. After locating the burial site, I looked at the surrounding tombstones and much to my surprise I saw the tombstones for John Boyer and his wife Dianna. In front of Diannas tombstone were her parents tombstones, Conrad Wolf and his wife. To the left of Williams tombstone was a marker for Horace Boyer. The only inscription was his age, 34. Because of the location of Horaces grave, I assume that he was another son of John Boyer. A third source of information was the federal census records. A census is conducted every ten years beginning in 1790. The information in these records is available to the general public for the years 1790 through 1930. Microfilm copies of these census records are available at most historical libraries. Under federal law, census records after 1930 are not available to the general public. In addition, census records for 1890 were destroyed by fire and, therefore, unavailable. At the Bucks County Historical Library in Doylestown (where I am a member), I found John Boyer and his family in the 1900 census. John and his wife Dianna were recorded as having 12 children, but only 7 were living in 1900. The census recorded the names of five of their children

86

along with their birth month, year and age. The census also recorded the occupations of each family member. In the 1920 census, I found the families of Robert Emery Boyer and Eugene W. Boyer, sons of John Boyer. I also found a listing for another son, William Boyer, who was single. During my research at the historical library, I discovered a book entitled American Boyers, published in 1940 by the Reverend Charles C. Boyer. I was able to find a listing in this book for John Boyer and his wife, Dianna Wolf. It also listed Johns ancestors, back to his great-grandfather Andreas Bayer (note spelling of surname in German) who emigrated from Germany about 1730. I verified a number of entries in American Boyers by using church and census records. A number of old German Church records from Bucks and Montgomery Counties for the years 17291870 have been recorded on Compact Disks (CDs) by the Broderbund Company and can be searched with appropriate software by a Personal Computer (PC). Using my PC, I was able to verify the marriage of Henry Bayer (a grandson of Andreas Bayer) to Madeline Wisler on May 10, 1795. I also was able to verify the marriage of one of Andreas Bayers sons, Andreas, Jr., to Catharine Jacobs on May 22, 1808. My Boyer genealogy begins with the emigrant, my 4th great-grandfather, Andrew Boyer (Andreas Bayer in Germany). A listing of his descendants appears in the genealogy report beginning on page 107. The report includes ten generations and 278 descendants. Andrew is listed as entry number 1.

THE FIRST GENERA TIO N ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

1. Andr ew Bo yer Andre Boy
Andrew Boyer (Andreas Bayer in German) was born in the Palatinate, Germany. This region was a division of Bavaria, Germany. The Palatinate of Bavaria can be seen on an old map of Germany on the following page. It is located in the southwestern part of Germany between Baden and the Rhine Province. Bavaria spelled in German is Bayern. According to the genealogy in American Boyers by Charles C. Boyer, Andrew emigrated in the 1725-1735 time period. He settled in Montgomery County and was a member of the New Goshenhoppen Lutheran Church, also known as St. Pauls, in Red Hill, Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery Co., Pa. On July 5, 1752, he was elected as an Elder to the church. The exact date of Andrews birth is not known. However, according to the research of Charles C. Boyer, we know that Andrew was elected as an Elder to his church on July 5, 1752. If we assume that as an Elder he was at least 40 years old, he would have been born in 1712. We also know from prior research that Andrews first child was born in 1753. Assuming 25 years between generations, Andrews birth year would have been 1728.

87

Research also shows that he emigrated between 1725 and 1735. If we assume that he was at least 20 years old when he emigrated, Andrew would have been born between 1705 and 1715.

Finally, Charles C. Boyers research recorded that two of his five children born to his second wife were born in 1762 and one in 1771. The birth dates of the three other children are not known. On the basis of this prior research, a reasonable assumption for Andrews year of birth would be 1715. With that birth year, Andrew would have been at least 20 years of age when he emigrated, 38 when his first child was born and 44 when elected as an Elder to the church. Also, he would have been 56 years old when his last child was born. These ages are reasonable, thus supporting my assumed birth year of 1715.

88

As noted earlier, Andrew settled in Upper Hanover Township of Montgomery County. Upper Hanover is adjacent to Milford Township in Bucks County (see County Map, page ix). It is interesting to note that Milford Township was where Lewis Gretzinger, my 2nd great-grandfather, settled when he emigrated about 100 years later in 1848. Over the course of my research, I discovered that many of my ancestors settled in this area. Andrews first marriage was to Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) and took place approximately 1752. This assumption is based on the birth year of their first son, Thomas, who was born November 7, 1753 (entry number 2 on the genealogy report, page 107). Less than six years after the birth of their first child, Andrews wife, Elizabeth, died on March 23, 1759.
Second child, Elisabeth, b. abt. 1755, mar, Johannes Dickert on 7 Jun 177211

Andrews second wife was Dorothy Gabel. They were married on December xxx 22, 1759. From this marriage, Andrew had five sons, John Peter, Andreas, George, Michael and Henry, entries number 3 through 7 on the genealogy report, page 107. Andrew died in Pennsburg, Montgomery County, Pa. The date of his death is not known.

THE SECO ND GENERA TIO N ECOND ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES
Six second generation Boyers have been identified to date. They are listed as entries 2 through 7 on the genealogy report, page 107. The second generation includes the son, Thomas, born to Andrew and his first wife, Elizabeth (maiden name unknown), and the five sons born to Andrew and his second wife, Dorothy Gabel Gabel.

Child of Andr ew Bo yer and Elizabeth (maiden name unkno wn) Andre Boy unknown) 2. T homas Bo yer Thomas Boy
Thomas Boyer (my half 3rd great-granduncle) was born on November 7, 1753, and was baptized November 3, 1785, in the Great Swamp Reformed Church, Milford Township, Pa. The r and his wife. He married Christina (maiden name unknown) about sponsors were Thomas Kur urr 1780. They had four children, my half 1st cousins four times removed (entries 8 through 11, page 107). Birth dates for three of the children are known-1782, 1785 and 1799. It was assumed that the birth of the fourth child, Peter, was 1780. Thus, Thomas and Christina would have been married about 1780, as noted above. It is not known when or where Thomas or his wife died.

Childr en of Andr ew Bo yer and Dor oth y Gabel Children Andre Boy Doroth othy 3. Henr y Bo yer Henry Boy
The first son of Andrew and his second wife, Dorothy, was Henry, my 3rd great-grandfather, born about 1760. He married Madeline Wisler on May 10, 1795, in the New Goshenhoppen Church in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County. The Church records of the New

89

Goshenhoppen Reformed Church, page 99, verified their marriage date. Broderbund Software recorded these records on a Compact Disk, CD 130. On the CD records, Madelines maiden issler . name was spelled W Wissler issler. Henry was a farmer, the occupation noted in the census records. He was a Lutheran and probably a member of St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa. in Montgomery County. He had three children. It is not known when he died or where he was buried. DOD 1831

4. John Peter Bo yer Boy

The second son of Andrew and Dorothy was John Peter, my 3rd great-granduncle. He was born on September 5, 1762. He married around 1800 but the name of his spouse is unknown. John had at least two children. The date and place of his death are unknown. DOD 1804

27 Jan 1761 xxxxxxxxxx Andrews and Dorothys third son was Andrew, Jr. He was born about 1768. At the age of 40, he

married Catharine Jacobs on Sunday, May 22, 1808, in the New Hanover Lutheran Church, New Hanover, Pa. Records recorded on CD 130 confirmed this marriage date and location. Andrew, Jr. and Catharine had five children, two daughters and three sons. Andrews wife, Catharine, died in 1867 in Boyertown, Berks County, Pa. It is not known when he died or where he was buried.

6. Georg e Bo yer George Boy

George was the fourth son of Andrew and Dorothy. George was born about 1770. He married Catharine (maiden name unknown) about 1810. The marriage year is based on the birth dates of their three children, born between 1812 and 1816. George lived in Emmaus, Pa. It is not known when or where he died.

7. Mic hael Bo yer Michael Boy

The youngest son was Michael, born August 15, 1771. No other information is known about this son.

THE THIRD GENERA TIO N ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

Research to date has identified eighteen third generation Boyers. These Boyers are identified as entries number 8 through 25 on the Boyer genealogy report, page 107 and 108. The 3rd generation Boyers includes thirteen males and five females. Of the twelve males, I am a descendant of Henry W. Boyer, entry number 13, my 2nd great-grandfather.

10. John J acob Bo yer Jacob Boy

John Jacob was born on March 6, 1785. He was baptized on November 3, 1785, at Great Swamp Reformed Church, Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. The witness was Johannes Dickert. He married Magdelena Klein Klein, who was born on January 23, 1791. I estimated the marriage date as 1811 since their first child was born in 1813. Based on that marriage date, John would have been 26 when he married and Magdelena would have been 20. John and Magdelena had eight children, entries 25 through 32. He was a farmer and veterinary surgeon. Magdelena died at the age of 74 on Thursday, March 16, 1865. Fourteen years later, John died on Thursday, June 26, 1879, at the age of 94 and was buried at St. Johns Lutheran Church Cemetery, Spinnerstown, Pa.

Thomas was born on Thursday, December 19, 1822. He was a farmer. On Sunday, July 7, 1850, at St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Red Hill, Pa., he married Maria Wald. Maria was born on Thursday, January 25, 1827. I obtained her maiden name, Wald, from the parish record, page 403, of St. Pauls Lutheran Church. There is, however, some controversy surrounding the spelling of ald on page 334, but on Wald Marias maiden name. In the book, American Boyers, it was spelled W elt. page 337, it was spelled W Welt. Thomas and Maria had five children. Eighteen years after Thomas was married, he died in Spinnerstown, Pa. on Saturday, January 4, 1868, at the age of 46. Seven years later, Maria died at the age of 48 on Friday, February 26, 1875. It is not known how Thomas or Maria died, but they died at a relatively young age. These early deaths raise the possibility that they contracted some sort of disease, like typhoid.

41. John H. Bo yer Boy

John H. Boyer was born in Montgomery County, Pa. on Wednesday, May 8, 1844, in New Hanover Township and was baptized by the Rev. Frederick Waage. The sponsors were Adam and Susan Miller Miller. Rev. Waage later confirmed him at St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa. olf, who was born in Lehigh County on Wednesday, February 28, 1849. He married Dianna Wolf y. John and Dianna were Her father was Conrad Wolf and her mother was Catharine Shell Shelly married on Saturday, June 4, 1864, in St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa. He was 20 years old when they married and she was 15 years and three months. Her age when she married is based on the birth date that I obtained from her death certificate and the marriage date recorded in the parish record book at St. Pauls Church, page 443. John was a farmer who had a large family to support. The 1900 census recorded that John and Dianna had twelve children, seven of whom had survived to 1900. The census listed five of the living children. I believe there was another son, named Horace, who was buried in the Christ Union Cemetery, Trumbauersville. There was another daughter named Kate, as recorded on page 337 of the book American Boyers published in 1940 by Rev. Charles C. Boyer. Thus, of the twelve children of John and Dianna, I believe I have identified seven of them. The 1900 census also recorded that the family lived in a rented home on Erie Avenue in Quakertown, Pa. The actual location was 112 Erie Ave., as recorded on Diannas death certifieiss, age ten born July 1889 cate. Living with John and his family were a granddaughter, Ella Weiss Christy and a one-year-old grandson, Ralph Crist (Christy Christy), born in November 1898. There were also yer (age 31), three boarders: William Kraft (age 25), born in December 1874, Charles Wetme etmey Rice born in May 1869 and Fred (age 44), born in May 1856. The census also recorded that Johns wife, Dianna, could not read or write, but she could understand English. The same was recorded for her sons Oswin and William. John died on Friday, February 25, 1910, at the age of 66. His cause of death as recorded on his death certificate was Posterior Spinal Sclerosis. The attending physician was Dr. J. R. Almsted of Quakertown, who attended John from December 1910 to his death on February 25, 1910. Dianna died at the age of 64, three years after her husband on Sunday, June 22, 1913. Both John and Dianna were buried in the Christ Union Cemetery, Bucks County, Trumbauersville, Pa. In addition, Diannas parents, Conrad and Catharine (nee Shelly) Wolf olf, also were buried there.

During a visit to the Christ Union Cemetery in Trumbauersville, I found a tombstone for Horace Boyer. The only inscription was his age, 36. Since the marker was next to that of John H. Boyer and his wife, it is reasonable to assume that he was a son of John Boyer. I estimated his date of birth as 1867 and his year of death as 1903.

127. K ate Hannah Bo yer Kate Boy

The book, American Boyers, recorded this child, Kate. Kate was my grandaunt. The parish records for St. Johns Lutheran Church recorded her birth as Saturday, May 25, 1872. She was baptized on Sunday, July 21, 1872. Kate was buried at St. Johns Cemetery in Spinnerstown, Pa. Her date of death is unknown.

128. Estella Bo yer Boy

Estella was born in September 1876 as recorded in the 1900 census. This census also recorded that two children were living with Estellas parents, John and Dianna Boyer. One was a grand, age ten born in July 1889 and the second was a grandson, Ralph Crist daughter, Ella Weiss eiss, (Christy) (Christy), age one born in November 1898. I believe that these two children were those of Estella. Thus, Estellas first husband was a Weiss and Ella was their daughter. It is not known if Weiss died or if they divorced. Estellas second husband was Christy (this spelling was obtained from Estellas funeral notice). I assume that the grandchild recorded as Ralph Crist was Estellas second child. Estella died at the age of 68 on Wednesday, April 19, 1944. The announcement of her death, which I obtained from my aunt, Gertrude Boyer, listed her name as Estella Christy Christy. Treffingers Funeral Home, Quakertown, Pa., handled the funeral arrangements. She was buried on Sunday, April 23, 1944, at Quakertown Union Cemetery, Quakertown, Pa.

129. Os win Bo yer Oswin Boy

The 1900 census recorded Oswin as a son of John and Dianna Boyer. His birth date was listed as September 1877. No other information is known about Oswin.

130. Eug ene Bo yer Eugene Boy

As recorded in the 1900 census, Eugene was born in September 1880. In the 1920 Quakertown census, his wife and three children were listed. His wifes name was Ida L. (maiden name unknown). The census recorded that the family lived on Erie Avenue. It is not known if this was the same house where his father, John, lived. Since John died in 1913, his son, Eugene, may have taken over the house. Eugenes occupation as recorded in the 1920 census was machinist in the agricultural industry. He probably repaired farm equipment.

131. W illiam Bo yer William Boy

William was born on Wednesday, November 29, 1881. The 1920 census recorded that he lived wis owned the home. In as a boarder in a home on East Broad Street, Quakertown, Pa. Allen S. Le Lewis addition to William, there were nine other boarders. The census also recorded that he was a bartender in a hotel. The location of the hotel is not known, but it could have been the Eagle Hotel where his brother, Robert, lived at the time of his, Roberts, death in 1913.

132. Rober t Emer y Bo yer Robert Emery Boy

My grandfather, Robert Emery Boyer, was born in Steinsberg, Pa. on Sunday, August 19, 1883. umbor e, daughter of Henry Trumbore and Caroline Trumbor umbore In 1904, he married Anna May (or Mae) Tr Tr uc kenmiller Truc uck enmiller. Anna, who was born on Saturday, February 11, 1881, was 23 when she married Robert. He was 21. The 1910 census reported that the family lived in a rented home on S. Hellertown Ave., Quakertown, Pa., Bucks County, Pa. The census listed two children, Mabel and Earl (entries 189 and 190, page 117). It also recorded that there was a third child (entry 188) that had died prior to 1910. Subsequent to the 1910 census, three additional children were born, Jeanette (entry 191), Paul (entry 192) and Grace (entry 193). Robert and his family later lived in a home near the railroad crossing at the lower end of Quakertown, known as Fairview. This house is no longer standing. The home in Fairview had a kitchen, dining room, living room and three bedrooms and was heated by a large potbelly stove fueled by wood and coal. There was no electricity; oil lights were used for lighting. The family raised chickens, ducks and geese. There was a cellar, which Robert used as a location for a still to make illegal liquor during prohibition. My mother, Grace, recalled that one of her fathers (Roberts) customers for the illegal liquor was the family doctor. On one occasion, he was arrested for making illegal liquor, but the judge did not put him in prison. Instead, they went to the judges home for a weekend of drinking. It appears that making booze was not Roberts official occupation, as the 1910 census recorded his occupation as cigar maker. The family did not own a car until the oldest son, Robert Earl, learned to drive and bought one. My mother also recalled that her mother, Anna, played the organ at a church in Quakertown. She also said that the church was no longer standing, and she could not remember exactly where it was located. She thought it was located around 9th or 10th Street. When Robert was 42 years old, his wife, Anna, died on Friday, August 21, 1925. She was 44. She was buried at St. Johns Lutheran Church Cemetery in Quakertown, Pa. I attempted to obtain a copy of her death certificate from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Vital Statistics but was advised that a copy of her death was not recorded in their files. About a year after Annas death, the remaining family members posed for a portrait. This is an interesting portrait as the photographer added a picture of Anna to the photo so the entire family would be represented. A copy of the portrait appears on the next page. Sometime after his wife died, Robert went to live with his oldest son, Robert Earl, in a home off Broad Street in Quakertown. Later, he lived at the Eagle Hotel in Quakertown and was living there when he died. While he was living there, I remember meeting my grandfather Boyer once. I was probably five of six years old. He came to visit our family in Trumbauersville. He died a

101

few years after that visit. His date of death as recorded on his death certificate was on Monday, January 26, 1942. He died of colon cancer and was attended by Dr. Raymond Tice of Quakertown for ten days before his death. He was 59 years old when he died. His funeral was held at Treffingers Funeral Home in Quakertown, and he was buried at St. Johns Lutheran Church in Quakertown next to his wife, Anna. The parish records for St. Johns, however, do not have a record of their burials. This is probably because they were not members of this Church.

CHAPTER 4
Dr umbor e/Tr umbor e Genealo Drumbor umbore/Tr e/Trumbor umbore Genealogy gy
Intr oduction Introduction
Of my four grandparents, I knew the least about my maternal grandmother, Anna Trumbore. She died when my mother was only 12, and my mother remembers little about the Trumbore family. I attempted to obtain a copy of grandmother Trumbores death certificate, but I was advised that a record of this death has not been located in the Vital Records files of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I was, however, able to obtain a copy of the funeral bill for her death. The bill recorded that my grandmothers fathers name was Henry Trumbauer, my great-grandfather. The surname spelling, however, was incorrect. I learned from his death Tr umbor e and/or Dr Dr umbor e. Drumbore was the certificate that the surname was spelled Tr Trumbor umbore Drumbor umbore typical German spelling of the surname. Using church and census records, I was able to trace the Trumbore genealogy to my 2nd greatgrandfather, Joseph Trumbore. As noted above, the surname was spelled Drumbore on various death certificates and in the church and census records. While researching the Trumbore genealogy at the Bucks County Historical Library in Doylestown, Pa., I discovered a book published in 1968 by Charles H. Price, Jr., History of Trumbauers, Trumbores, Trumbowers, Flucks and Grosses. The book devoted one chapter to the Descendants of Andrew Trumbore who emigrated in the early 1700s. It included four generations of Trumbores. I used Prices genealogy in an attempt to connect my line to the emigrant Trumbore/ Drumbore. Joseph Trumbore, however, was a fifth generation Trumbore so he was not included in Prices genealogy. Through the use of census data, I believe I have made a connection between Prices genealogy and my ancestor, Joseph Trumbore. This connection is discussed in greater detail later in this chapter. The Drumbore/Trumbore genealogy begins with the emigrant, Andrew Trumbore. Andrews descendants are listed on the genealogy report at the end of this chapter, beginning on page 151. Andrew is listed as entry number 1.

THE FIRST GENERA TIO N ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

1. Andr ew Tr umbor e Andre Trumbor umbore
Andrew was born in Germany about 1700. According to Prices genealogy, his name in Germany was Andreas Drumbore, and he emigrated from the Rhineland Palatinate to Pennsylvania sometime between 1724 and 1727. The Palatinate was a former division of Bavaria. The map of Germany in the 1800s (see page 88) shows the Rhine Province. It is my understanding that this province was the Rhineland Palatinate (the Rheinland Pfalz in German).

128

After his arrival in America, Andrew was naturalized in Philadelphia about 1738-39. At the same time, some of his neighbors were also naturalized. They were Yost Cope, William Hauck and George Cressman. According to Price, in 1728, he purchased 205 acres of land on the west side of what today is the Borough of Telford, Montgomery County, Pa. The tract of land took in most of the area within todays bounds of County Line Road, Forrest Road, Fourth Street and West Broad Street, the latter in the center of Telford. A log house was constructed on this tract of land as the Trumbores residence. Andrew was married; however, the identity of his wife is unknown. He had at least two children, Andrew, Jr. and Peter. On June 6, 1754, he sold his land and his farm to his son, Andrew, Jr. It is not known when Andrew, Sr. died or where he was buried. Price notes that Andrews burial site may have been in the Furhman Graveyard on the farm of Jacob Furhman, a neighbor and the oldest burial ground in this area. Andrew was my 6th great-grandfather.

THE SECO ND GENERA TIO N ECOND ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES
Only two second-generation Trumbores have been identified to date. They are the sons of Andrew Trumbore, Sr., Andrew Jr. (entry 2) and Peter (entry 3), page 151.

Childr en of Andr ew Tr umbor e, Sr . and Unkno wn Children Andre Trumbor umbore Sr. Unknown 2. Andr ew Tr umbor e, Jr . Andre Trumbor umbore Jr.
According to Prices genealogy, Andrew, Jr. was born between 1723 and 1728. Price also noted that Andrew, Jr.s father, Andrew, Sr., emigrated between 1724 and 1728. Thus, Andrew, Jr. may have been born in Germany or in America. Andrew, Jr. was my 5th great-grandfather. He married Louisa (maiden name unknown) about 1745. Andrew and Louisa had eight children, five sons and three daughters. All five sons served in the Militia during the War of the Revolution. As noted above, Andrew purchased his fathers land in 1754 and worked as a farmer. In 1769, the farm was assessed for 205 acres, four horses and five cows, a fair-sized farm operation at the time. According to Prices book, sometime after Andrew, Jr. purchased the farm, he sold five acres to ollin ger . However, the genealogy of Andrew Trumbore, Jr. shows his brother-in-law, Peter Tr Trollin olling er. that his daughter, Sophia Trumbore (entry 4), married Peter Trollinger. Therefore, Peter Trollinger was Andrew, Jr.s son-in-law, and not his brother-in-law.

129

Price also wrote that in 1790 Andrew, Jr. sold 100 acres of land to his daughter and her husband, Henry Cassel Cassel. The only daughter whose husband was not identified in the Price genealogy was Anna Elizabeth (entry 11). I believe, therefore, that it was Anna and her husband, Henry Cassel, to whom Andrew, Jr. sold the 100-acre tract of land. Andrew, Jr. was a member of the Reformed Church at Indian Creek. His name was on the contribution list of that church for the year 1772. He occupied his farm until his death in 1787, at the age of about 62. His sons, John and George (entries 5 and 8), were the Executors to his Estate. It is not known where he was buried. Price recorded the death of Andrew, Jrs. wife, Louisa, on Monday, January 5, 1801. She was about 65 years old when she died. It is not known where she was buried. Price observed that many descendants of Andrew, Jr. lived in the North Penn area of Bucks and Montgomery Counties, and they were found buried in the cemeteries of that area between Lansdale and Quakertown. Based on Prices observation, I believe that I am a descendant of this branch of the Trumbore family as my great-grandfather and 2nd great-grandfather Trumbores were buried in Perkasie, Bucks County, Pa. Perkasie is located in the area between Lansdale and Quakertown.

3. Peter Tr umbor e Trumbor umbore

Peter was born about 1728. He was my 5th great-granduncle. Around 1745, Peter married her her Maria Beisc Beischer her, daughter of Adam and Anna Beisc Beischer her. Peter and Maria had three children, a daughter and twin sons. According to the New Goshenhoppen Lutheran Church records, one of the twins, Johann Adam, was born a half hour before his brother, Conrad. Price, however, wrote that the twins were baptized in the St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Red Hill, Pa. Thus, he feels that the family lived either in Upper Hanover Township or Marlborough Township, in the upper part of then Philadelphia County, now Montgomery County. Price also notes that many of the Trumbores in the Upper Perkiomen Valley area surrounding Red Hill, Pennsburg and East Greenville are probably descendants of Peter and Maria Trumbore. It is not known when Peter and Maria died or where they were buried.

THE THIRD GENERA TIO N ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

Research to date has identified eleven third generation Trumbore ancestors. These Trumbores are identified as entries number 4 through 14 on the Trumbore genealogy report, page 151. They are the children of Andrew Trumbore, Jr. (entries 4 through 11) and Peter Trumbore (entries 12 through 14). The third generation Trumbores includes seven males and four females. Of the seven males, I am a descendant of Andrew Trumbore, III, entry number 9 on the genealogy report. Andrew Trumbore, III was a son of Andrew Trumbore, Jr. and his wife Louisa.

Childr en of Andr ew Tr umbor e, Jr . and Louisa (maiden name unkno wn) Children Andre Trumbor umbore Jr. unknown) 4. Sophia Tr umbor e Trumbor umbore
The oldest child of Andrew Trumbore, Jr. and Louisa was Sophia, born June 8, 1746. About . Price believes that Peter was the son of Eberhard Tr ollin ger ollin ger Trollin olling er. Trollin olling er. 1765, she married Peter Tr Sophia and Peter had thirteen children, seven males and six females. They resided in Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pa. On Monday, June 29, 1819, Sophia died at the age of 73. She was buried at the Tohickon Union Cemetery, Bucks County, Pa. Peter was born about 1745 and died at the age of 75 in 1820.

5. John Tr umbor e Trumbor umbore

John, my 4th great-granduncle, was born in 1748. It is not known if he married. He resided in Rockhill Township, Bucks County, Pa. and died four months after his sister, Sophia, on Friday, October 15, 1819, at the age of 71. His will was recorded in Bucks County Will Book No. 9, page 367. His brother, Andrew III, was appointed Executor, with his brothers and sisters sharing in his estate.

6. Catharine Tr umbor e Trumbor umbore

According to Charles H. Prices genealogy, Catharine was born about 1750. At the age of eighk on December 4, 1768. They had at least one child, a son. Her date teen, she married Jacob Mac Mack of death is not known.

7. J acob Tr umbor e Jacob Trumbor umbore

Jacob was born about 1753. Around 1775, he married Magdalena (maiden name unknown), who was born in 1753. Jacob and Magdalena had nine children, four sons and five daughters. It is believed that they lived in the eastern end of Rockhill Township, Bucks County, Pa. Magdalena died at the age of 70 on Thursday, December 18, 1823. It is not known when her husband, Jacob, died.

8. Georg e Tr umbor e George Trumbor umbore

George was born on January 5, 1755, and was baptized in the Indianfield Lutheran Church. According to Price, he was baptized and confirmed as George Ludwig Trumbauer. It is interesting to speculate why George was baptized and confirmed as a Trumbauer, and not a Trumbore. On August 13, 1782, at the age of 27, he married Susanna Cassel Cassel. They had two children, a son and a daughter. Prices genealogy recorded that Susanna was the daughter of Henry Cassel. Prices book also recorded that Andrew Trumbore, Jr. (Georges father) sold 100 acres to his sonin-law, Henry Cassel, who married Anna Elizabeth Trumbore, (entry 11) daughter of George

131

Trumbore. It is very likely that the Henry Cassel who bought the 100 acres of land from Andrew Trumbore was a son of Henry Cassel (Sr.) who was the father of Susanna Cassel who married George Trumbore. Therefore, Susanna Cassel and Henry Cassel, Jr. were probably brother and sister. Based on this genealogy, the brother and sister Cassels (Henry, Jr. and Susanna) married sister umbor es (Anna Elizabeth and George), respectively. umbores and brother Tr Trumbor Price reported that for the year 1788, George, at the age of 33, and Samuel Harley served as Overseer of the Poor for Montgomery County. Also, around that time, George purchased from John King a tavern and five acres of land in what is now Mainland, Pa. Mainland is located in Montgomery County on Route 63 (Sumneytown Pike) about three miles southeast of Harleysville. George and his family operated the tavern until his death on Monday, March 4, 1811, at age 56. His widow and children operated the tavern until her death in April of 1820. Susanna was about 65 when she died.

9. Andr ew Tr umbor e III Andre Trumbor umbore

Andrew III was born January 2, 1757, and baptized at Jerusalem Church, Almont, Pa. He was er my 4th great-grandfather. At the age of 28 on April 14, 1785, he married Margaret Hunsberg Hunsberger er, er daughter of Isaac and Catharine Hunsberg Hunsberger er. Andrew was a farmer. He and his wife had nine children, six males and three females. Their baptisms were recorded in the church records for the Tohickon Union Church. Price recorded that Andrew III was a member of the Militia during the War of the Revolution. He made a will dated June 10, 1833, which was probated on October 8, 1846, (Bucks Co. Will Book No. 12, page 570), about a month after his death on Thursday, September 17, 1846, at the age of 89. It is believed that he was buried at the Jerusalem Church Cemetery, Almont, Bucks Co., Pa. His wife also was buried there; however, the date of her death is unknown.

10. John Henr y Tr umbor e Henry Trumbor umbore

John Henry was born in 1759 in Franconia Township, which was then part of Philadelphia tzel County. About 1785 at the age of 26, he married Hannah Her Hertzel tzel, daughter of Henry and tzel of Rockhill Township, Bucks County, Pa. Hannah was born on August 8, Margretha Her Hertzel 1760, and about 25 when she married John. He and Hannah had three daughters (entries 49, 50 and 51). However, Hannah died in childbirth on March 2, 1793. She was only 33 years old when she died. Five months after his first esser on August 18, 1793, in the Tohickon Rewife died, John Henry married Veronica Bergstr Bergstresser formed Church, Bedminster Township, Bucks Co., Pa. This was the same church where Veronica was baptized. esser and Elizabeth Ne gle y. She was 24 and John Veronica was the daughter of Valentine Bergstr Bergstresser Neg ley was 34 when they married. They lived in Rockhill Township, Bucks County, Pa. During this time period, John Henry served as a Captain in the 7th Company of the Bucks County Militia and was on the payroll dated November 21, 1793. 132

John Henry and Veronica had four children. It is not known when John or Veronica died or where they were buried. It is known, however, that their children were baptized in the Tohickon Reformed Church. Therefore, they may have been buried at that church.

11. Anna Elizabeth Tr umbor e Trumbor umbore

Anna was born July 13, 1761, and was baptized on September 29, 1761, at the Indian Creek Cassel, Jr. In 1790, Annas Reformed Church. As discussed above, I believe she married Henry Cassel father, Andrew Trumbore, Jr., sold her and her husband 100 acres of land that was originally part of the family farm he inherited from his father, Andrew Trumbore, Sr. No children have been identified and Annas death date is not known. She was, however, buried at the Indian Creek Reformed Church.

Anna was the oldest child of Peter and Maria. She was born on August 3, 1746, and was baptized on September 8, 1746, in the Tohickon Union Church. The sponsors were Adam and Anna Barbara Beischer. The sponsors were very likely to have been relatives of Anna Barbara Trumbores mother, Maria Beischer. It is not known if Anna married or when she died.

13. and 14. Johann Adam and Conrad Tr umbor e Trumbor umbore
Johann Adam (entry 13) and Conrad (entry 14) were twins, born August 2, 1749. As discussed earlier, the New Goshenhoppen Lutheran Church recorded that one of the twins, Johann Adam, was born a half-hour before his brother, Conrad. Church records also indicate that the twins were born in Montgomery County, Pa., probably around the Red Hill area. No additional information is known about these twin boys.

THE FOUR TH GENERA TIO N OURTH ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES
Research to date has identified forty-two fourth generation descendants of Andrew Trumbore. These descendants are listed as entries 15 through 56 on the genealogy report at the end of this umbor e ancestors, thirteen Tr ollin ger ancestors and one Mac k chapter.

She died in November of 1850 at the age of 53.

39. Georg e Tr umbor e George Trumbor umbore

According to the 1850 census for Montgomery County, Pa., George was born in 1800. He married Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) about 1820 and had six children. The 1850 census also recorded that the value of Georges real estate was $1,000. Assuming an annual 3.5% inflation rate, his real estate would be worth $175,000 today. George died at the age of 61 on Thursday, November 7, 1861.

The oldest son of Andrew III and Margaret was Abraham. He was born on December 20, 1786. At the age of 23, he married Magdalena Getman on Saturday, June 10, 1809, in the Tohickon Union Church, Bedminster Township, Bucks Co., Pa. Magdalena was born on February 14, 1790; thus, she was 19 when she married Abraham. Their marriage notice recorded Abrahams surname as Drumbore. It appears that many of the Drumbore descendants continued to use the German version of the surname into the 1800s.

134

Abraham and Magdalena had three children, a daughter and two sons. Magdalena died on Tuesday, March 22, 1842, at the age of 52 and was buried at Jerusalem Church Cemetery in Almont. Sixteen years later on Wednesday, July 28, 1858, at the age of 72, Abraham died. He was also buried at Jerusalem Church Cemetery.

41. Catharine Elizabeth Tr umbor e Trumbor umbore

Catharine was born on September 27, 1788. She was baptized in the Tohickon Reformed Church on December 14, 1788. The witness to the baptism was her grandmother, Catharine Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) Hunsberger. In 1805 at the age of 17, Catharine was confirmed at Tohickon Reformed Church. It is believed that she never married. She died on Sunday, February 20, 1870, at that age of 82 and was buried in the same cemetery as her parents, Jerusalem Church.

42. Andr ew Tr umbor e IV Andre Trumbor umbore

Andrew Trumbore IV was born December 2, 1790, probably in Montgomery County, Pa. At the age of 20 on Sunday, December 2, 1810, he married Elizabeth Getman at the Tohickon Reformed Church, Bedminster Township, Bucks Co., Pa. She was 18 when they married. Prices genealogy does not list any children born to Andrew IV and Elizabeth. Another genealogist (Adajune Tait), however, recorded a daughter, Sophia, born on Friday, February 11, 1814, on her Family Group Record 3624, dated December 31, 1997. My research indicates that there was also one son born to Andrew and Elizabeth. I believe the son to be Joseph Trumbore, my 2nd great-grandfather, and therefore, Andrew Trumbore IV would be my 3rd great-grandfather. My analysis of various census and church records as detailed below shows why I believe Joseph was a son of Andrew IV. The 1840 census for West Rockhill Township, Bucks Co. lists an Andrew Drumbore (Trumbore), Jr., age 40-50, and one male between the ages of 15 and 20. Also listed were three daughters, ages between 10-15, 15-20 and 20-30. The wifes age was listed as 40-50. Unfortunately, the 1840 census lists only the names of the heads of the household. It does not list the names of the spouse or those of the children. Since Andrew IV was born in 1790, he would have been 50 at the time of this census. His wife, Elizabeth, was born in 1792, making her 48 at the time of the census. Andrew and Elizabeth had one daughter identified by Adajune Tait. Her name was Sophia and she was born in 1814, making her 26 at the time of this census. There is agreement between the census and the information from the Tait genealogy for the above people. The census, however, also listed a male between the age of 15-20. Joseph Drumbore (Trumbore) was born in November 1819, making him 20 at the time of the census. Based on this analysis, I believe that Joseph is the son of Andrew and Elizabeth Drumbore (Trumbore).

135

Other male Drumbores listed in the 1840 census for West Rockhill Township, included Abraham (entry 40), Isaac (entry 45), Andrew, Sr. (entry 9) and George (entry 39). I have concluded that Abraham could not be the father of Joseph as he, Abraham, had a son (Henry, entry 72) born August 7, 1819. Since Joseph was born on November 16, 1819, both Henry and Joseph could not be sons of Abraham as they were born only three months apart. As recorded in the 1840 census, Isaac had one son, age 10-15. Since Joseph was 20 at the time of the census, Isaac could not be his father. Andrew Sr. was recorded in the census to be between 80-90 years old. No sons were listed. I believe this listing is for Andrew III, born January 2, 1757. He would have been 83 at the time of this census. The 1840 census for West Rockhill Township, Bucks County recorded a head of household named George Drumbore, age 30-40 and a female between 30-40, undoubtedly his wife. There was one son son, age 15-20, and four daughters, ages under 5, 5-10 (two females), and 10-15. The Price genealogy listed only one George born in this time period. He was born in 1797, making him 43 ee sons and two daughat the time of the 1840 census. This George Drumbore, however, had thr three ters. None of the sons were named Joseph. In addition, the 1850 census for Montgomery County, Pa. recorded a George Drumbore, age 50, his wife, Elizabeth age 47, and three sons, Theophilus age 16, George age 14 and Hillarius age 10. Also listed was a Sylvestor Trumbore, age 27. Prices genealogy recorded that George Trumbore and Elizabeth had three sons, Sylvestor, Theophilus and George. Price did not list Hillarius. Neither this census nor Price included a male by the name of Joseph. Therefore, I believe that George Trumbore was not Josephs father. By the process of elimination, I have concluded that the father of Joseph Drumbore (Trumbore) was Andrew Trumbore IV. It is not known when Andrew IV died. His wife, however, died on Thursday, November 21, 1872, at the age of 80. She was buried at the Jerusalem Church Cemetery, Almont, Bucks County, Pa.

43. Henr y Tr umbor e Henry Trumbor umbore

Henry was born on February 25, 1793, and was baptized on June 16, 1793. The witnesses were Henry Nees and Elizabeth Weenhold. Henry died at the age of 44 on Thursday, August 17, 1837. It is believed he did not marry.

44. Ma gdalena Tr umbor e Magdalena Trumbor umbore

Magdalena was born on October 14, 1795. She was confirmed at the age of 17 in 1813 in the ederic k on Wednesday, August 30, 1820, at age 25 Tohickon Church. Her marriage to Henry Fr Frederic ederick was recorded in the parish records for the Tohickon Union Church. Prices genealogy identified the parents of Magdalena as Andrew Trumbore III and Margaret Hunsberger. No other information is known about Magdalena or her husband.

136

45. Isaac Tr umbor e Trumbor umbore

Isaac was born on July 14, 1798, and was baptized on Sunday, August 30, 1801, at the Tohickon Reformed Church. On Thursday, November 21, 1839, at the age of 41, he married Hannah el. She was 39. The marriage was recorded in the church records for the Tohickon (Anna) Mark Markel. Union Church. The parents were not identified in the marriage record but Prices genealogy identified Isaacs parents as Andrew Trumbore III and Margaret Hunsberger. It is not known if Isaac and Hannah had any children. Since they were in their forties when they married, it is possible that they decided not to have any children. Isaacs wife died on Thursday, March 2, 1865, at the age of 65. She was buried at Jerusalem Church Cemetery. Five years later on Sunday, September 18, 1870, Isaac died at the age of 72. He was also buried at Jerusalem Church Cemetery.

46. Enoc h (Enos) Tr umbor e Enoch Trumbor umbore

Enos was born on Saturday, May 3, 1800, and was baptized on Sunday, August 30, 1801, at the Tohickon Reformed Church. Note that he was baptized on the same day as his brother, Isaac k on Sunday, March 25, 1827. (entry 45). At the age of 27, Enos married Magdalena Hetric Hetrick Enos and Magdalena had at least two children. A son, given name is unknown, was born on Monday, January 13, 1834, seven years after their marriage. It is probable that they had children before the birth of this son. This son, however, died at the age of four on Friday, April 13, 1838. Another son was born on Sunday, May 12, 1839. It is not known when Enos and his wife died or where they were buried.

74. Joseph Tr umbor e Trumbor umbore

Joseph was born on Tuesday, November 16, 1819, in Pennsylvania, probably Bucks Co. At the el age of 24, he married Nancy (also known as Anna) Koff Koffel el. She was born on Saturday, November 16, 1816, making her three years older then Joseph. They resided in Perkasie, Pa. and had three children. Josephs wife died on Sunday, February 1, 1891, at the age of 75. Seven years later, Joseph died at the age of 79 on Friday, November 4, 1898. Both were buried at St. Andrews Cemetery in Perkasie. On November 22, 1898, Josephs son, Henry K. Trumbore, appointed Harrison K. Trumbore as Executor to his fathers estate (see below). The family relationship of Harrison Trumbore to Henry Trumbore has not been established. Josephs estate, which was settled on April 9, 1900, amounted to $210.69. Two hundred dollars of that amount was from the sale of Real Estate. I believe this property was located on what today is Main Street in Perkasie, Pa. A copy of the settlement of Josephs estate is shown below. Today, 100+ years later, that estate of $210.69 would be equivalent to $7,000.

Henry was born on Saturday, March 13, 1847, in South Perkasie, Bucks County, Pa. He was the oldest of three sons. At the age of 19, Henry enlisted in the Union Army. His military record recorded his enlistment date as March 14, 1865, and the enlistment location as West Chester. His record also noted that he was a substitute for Lewis Rogers. Henry was assigned to Company E of the 50th Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry. He served for only four months, as his muster-out date was July 30, 1865. A copy of his military record appears below. The muster-out roll recorded his discharge at the Delang House, located in Washington, DC. His granddaughter, Ruth Trumbore, said that Henry was assigned to guard President Lincoln. This may be why he was discharged in DC. After his discharge from the Union Army, Henry continued to work in the cigar factory as a packer. Eight years later on Friday, December 5, 1873, at the age of 26 he married Caroline Tr uc kenmiller , born on Saturday, September 9, 1854, making her 19 when she married Henry. Truc uck enmiller, They were married in New Castle, Delaware in a civil ceremony conducted by J. B. Spotswood. Since her first child was born in May 1874, it may explain why Henry and Caroline, who lived in Perkasie, Pa., were married in Delaware. According to her granddaughter, Ruth Trumbore, Caroline was deaf, but it is not known for how long. Carolines father was named Charles and was born in Germany.

Henry and Caroline had twelve children (entries 83 through 94, page 154). The fifth child, Anna Mae, was my grandmother. The family resided on Main Street in the town of Perkasie in Bucks County, Pa. Henry and Caroline purchased this property on March 31, 1894. Henry was 47 years old when he purchased this property. Twenty-three years later on December 1, 1917, Henry and Caroline sold this property to Levi G. Shellenberger for $1,850. Today, that property would be worth about $35,000 (assumes a 3.5% annual inflation rate). It is interesting to note that the deed of sale of this property recorded that Joseph Trumbore, Henrys father, owned the adjoining property. The 1920 census recorded that Henry and Caroline were living on Third Street in Perkasie. Also in the house were his daughter, Carrie, and his two grandsons, Carries children, Henry and Donald. As a veteran of the Civil War, Henry filed for an invalid pension on January 17, 1891. He was 44 Henr y K. Dr umbor e. He affirmed that he was unable to years old.

Previously, this post office was named Bridgetown as recorded on the filing (see question number 2, What was your post office at enlistment?). This post office is located in what is known today as Perkasie, Rockhill Township, Bucks County, Pa. Question number 3 asks for his wifes maiden name.

Henrys wife, Caroline, died of pneumonia on Monday, June 18, 1928, in Perkasie at the age of 73. She was buried on Wednesday, June 21, 1928, at the South Perkasie Cemetery, located at the corner of Market & Main Streets, Perkasie, Pa. The Informant and the Undertaker was Frank L. Knoll of Perkasie. Twelve months later in June 1929, the American Legion celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Perkasie. Among the organizations honored was the Washington Dengler Post No. 622, Grand Army of the Republic. The charter for Post 622 was granted March 31, 1894, with eighteen members. One of those members was Henry Trumbore. In 1929, only Henry and one other charter member, John Swartz, were still living. Henry was 82 at the time of this celebration. A picture of him was taken at that time and appears on this page. Two years later on Sunday, January 25, 1931, Henry died at the age of 84. His death certificate listed his death as acute la grippe with hyparatic pneumonia. He was sick for nine days from January 16th to January 25th and was attended by Dr. Vincent Z. Deiler of Harleysville, Pa. With the death of Henry on January 25, 1931, he was dropped from the pension roll. When he died his military pension was $75 per month. Today the pension would be equivalent to $830 per month at a 3.5% annual inflation rate. His place of death was recorded as Souderton, Montgomery County, Pa. It is not known where in Souderton he lived, but one of his daughters, Minerva, who married Allen Landis, lived in Souderton. It is probable that Henry went to live with Minerva and her family after the death of his wife, Caroline.

It is possible that Henry and Caroline were buried at the South Perkasie Cemetery without a headstone. Ruth Trumbore, his granddaughter, said they were buried at St. Andrews Cemetery in Perkasie.

CHAPTER 5
Huber Genealo gy Genealogy
Intr oduction Introduction
Of all my great-grandparents, the only one I remember was my great-grandmother, Emma Rebecca (nee Dubbs) Huber. In her last few years, she came to live with my grandmother (her daughter), Ellen, aka Ella, Gretzinger. When I began my Huber research, I knew very little about Emma or my Huber ancestors. My cousin, Ray A. Huber, however, has traced the Huber line to Switzerland. He has identified the emigrants and researched the Huber line for a number of generations in Switzerland. He and his wife visited Switzerland and were able to document much of the Huber line from official records in Switzerland. Records of the Huber family in Switzerland are also from the Huber/Naef Genealogy by Julius Billeter, 1910. They were compiled from Hausen ab Albis church records, Switzerland. My Huber genealogy begins with the three Huber brothers who emigrated from Switzerland and settled in Pennsylvania. It covers the descendants of one of those brothers, Hans Rudolph Huber, Jr. Hans was my 5th great-grandfather. His descendants are listed on the genealogy report at the end of this chapter, beginning on page 191. Hans is listed as entry number 1.

THE FIRST GENERA TIO N ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

1. Hans Rudolph Huber , Jr . Huber, Jr.
Hans was born on May 1, 1722, in Switzerland in a small community called Hausen am Albis (house in the Alps) located about 50 miles south of Zurich. He was one of eight children of Hans Rudolph Huber, Sr. and Verena Weiss. At the age of 25, Hans and two of his brothers, Jacob and Heinrich (Henry), emigrated to America. They sailed on the ship Bilander Vernon from Rotterdam and arrived in Philadelphia on August 19, 1747. Ship records indicate, however, that all three returned to Switzerland the following year. It appears they returned to Switzerland in 1748 when they learned that their father was either close to death or was dead. The following year, the three brothers returned to America on the ship, Priscilla, from Rotterdam and arrived at the Port of Philadelphia in September 1749. The ships Captain was William Meier.

163

It appears that Hans settled in Philadelphia as he married Annah (Anna) Elizabeth Baer in the Germantown Reformed Church, Philadelphia, on July 22, 1753. Annah was also from Switzerland and was born on December 8, 1726. Hans was 31 years old when he married Annah, and she was 27. They had five children. Sometime after their marriage, the family relocated to Lehigh County, Pa. His occupation was wagoner (one who drives a wagon). Many of the records of Hans Rudolph and his family are recorded in the Great Swamp Reformed Church, which is located in Lower Milford Township, Lehigh County, Pa. Hans Rudolph served as a private under his brother, Henry, in the Revolutionary War. Henry was Captain of the 5th Company, 2nd Battalion, for Lower Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. Hans served as a private in the 3rd Battalion in the 5th Company. Hans died in March 1779. The church records for the Great Swamp Church recorded his burial date as March 29, 1779, and his age as 56 years, 10 months and 4 weeks. Based on his birth date, also recorded in the church records, his death date would have been March 29, 1779, the same day as his burial. It was possible that Hans was buried the same day he died, but I tend to think that he probably died a few days before he was buried. There was probably an error in the recording of his age in the church records. He left a will dated January 6, 1779, which was filed for probate in Bucks County, Pa. on April 30, 1779. The will named his wife, Annah, and his five living children. His estate was in excess of 4,000 pounds, which would have made him a rather wealthy man at that time. Today, that amount would be more than $4 million. Annah lived for 30 more years after her husband had passed away. She died on Tuesday, December 5, 1809, at the age of 83. She was buried on Friday, December 8, 1809, at Great Swamp Cemetery, Lehigh County, Pa.

THE SECO ND GENERA TIO N ECOND ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

Childr en of John Huber , Jr . and Anna Barbara Lan g Children Huber, Jr. Lang 47. John S . Huber S.
The first child of John and Anna was John S., born on Friday, February 15, 1811, in Fairfield County, Ohio. He attended Jefferson College in Cannonsburg, Pa. and became a lawyer. On well. The marriage took place in Berlin Saturday, July 6, 1839, he married Harriet Atwood Ne New Township, Delaware County, Ohio. When they were married, John was 28 years old and Harriet was 19. She was born on Wednesday, October 25, 1820, in Ohio. In October 1839, John and Harriet left Ohio for The West in a buggy drawn by a single horse. They went as far as Geneese, Illinois, where Harriet remained with relatives for the winter. John continued on horseback to Cedar County, Iowa, where he purchased land. In early 1840, he returned to Geneese for his wife arriving back in Iowa on Saturday, March 21, 1840. John was a lawyer in the firm Huber & Wolf. He was twice elected Prosecuting Attorney of Cedar County, Iowa. There is some confusion regarding Johns middle name. In some official records, his name was recorded as John Huber or John Huber III. The Huber Family Bible, however, recorded a middle initial of L or S. According to Marita Huber-Kennedy, who provided these notes about John, the family Bible was last in the hands of a relative, Harriet Dierberger of Iowa. John died in Tipton, Cedar County, Iowa, on Wednesday, March 9, 1870, at the age of 59. He was buried in the Masonic Cemetery in Tipton, Iowa. His wife, Harriet, lived to the age of 80 having passed away on Thursday, April 5, 1900. She also was buried in Iowa.

48. Sarah Huber

Sarah, the first daughter, was born on Monday, May 4, 1812. There is some confusion as to the location of her birth. Since her parents had moved to western Pennsylvania prior to 1811, she may have been born there or in Ohio as was her older brother. Other Huber historians recorded her birth in Lehigh County, Pa. It is also possible that after the birth of their first child, Sarahs parents moved back to Lehigh County where Sarahs mother, Anna, was born. Nothing more is known about Sarah.

171

49. Ester Huber

Ester was born on Wednesday, July 17, 1816. Similar to her sister, Sarah, there is confusion regarding the place of her birth, i.e. Lehigh County, Pa. or western Pa./Ohio. Nothing more is known about Sarah.

50. Catharine Huber

Catharine was born in 1819. The location is not known. She married Joseph Weller eller, who was born in 1814. Catharine and Joseph had one child, who was born in 1845. In 1845 at the age of 26, Catharine died. Her death may have been the result of childbirth as her child also died in 1845. Catharines husband, Joseph, died at the age of 70 in 1884.

51. Hannah Huber

Hannah was born about 1820. Nothing more is known about her.

52. Henr yW illiam Huber Henry William

Henry was born on Saturday, November 20, 1824. Some Huber historians recorded the birth, who was born in place as Lehigh County, Pa. About 1854, Henry married Catherine Goughler Goughler, 1830. He was 30 and she was 26 years old when they married. They had nine children. At the age of 82, Henry passed away on Friday, September 7, 1906. His wife, Catherine, lived another 17 years and died in 1923 at the age of 93.

53. Frances Huber

The seventh child, Frances, was born on Thursday, November 26, 1829. Some Huber historians recorded the birthplace as Lehigh County, Pa. as was the case for at least three other of these Huber children. As noted above, the family may have returned to Lehigh County from western Pennsylvania for the birth of these children. However, since the father, John Huber, Jr., died and was buried in Ohio, the family would have returned to western Pa./Ohio after the birth of this child, Frances.

Childr en of Da vid Huber and Rebecca Kepner (1st wif e) Children David wife) 54. Ruf us Huber Rufus
The first child, a son Rufus, was born on Saturday, October 28, 1843. His death certificate listed his place of birth as Falkner Township, Berks County, Pa. He was confirmed at the age of 17 in the Christ Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville Pa. Rufus served in the Civil War. He enlisted for one year on Tuesday, February 21, 1865, at Frankford (I assume this was the arsenal located in Philadelphia, Pa.) at the age of 21 and was assigned to Company I, 213 PA Infantry. A copy of his volunteer enlistment appears on this page. Note that his surname was spelled Huver. His military record noted that he had light hair, gray eyes, and light complexion and was 5' 5" tall. Rufus and saw action at the Battle of Richmond and was honorably discharged at Washington, DC on Saturday, November 18, 1865. Five years later, the 1870 census for Susquehanna Co., Pa., listed Rufus as living in a hotel. His occupation was cigar maker. In the same hotel with the same occupation was a Michael Hoff. There is a Michael Hoff, son of John Hoff and Catherine Weidemoyer, born in 1840. This Michael Hoff was my 2nd greatgranduncle. Rufus Huber was my half great-granduncle. On Monday, June 29, 1874, at the age of 30, Rufus married Elizabeth (aka Lizzy) Sac ks (she was 24). She was born on Sacks Wednesday, August 29, 1849. They were married by Rev. John Chambers of 1138 Girard Street, Philadelphia, Pa. His denomination was Presbyterian. Rufus and Lizzy had four children, three sons and a daughter. One of the sons died prior to 1898. Their daughter, Estella, was born in July 1878. Four years after the birth of her daughter (1882), Elizabeth left Rufus. In an affidavit she filed for a widows pension in 1923 (as discussed below), she listed the following reasons for leaving Rufus: he would do nothing but gamble, get drunk and abuse her. He would not pay their rent so they were forced to live in one room with a next door neighbor. Her baby had diphtheria and died. The affidavit recorded that her oldest son was seven at this time, making his birth year 1875/76. The age of the other son was not listed.

173

Because Elizabeth could not support her two sons and daughter, Rufus parents took Estella, who was about four years old, to live with them. However, when she was eleven (1889) a couple in New Milford, Pa, adopted her. Rufus applied for a Civil War pension on Monday, October 17, 1898. In the application, he recorded that Elizabeth was his only wife, that he had three living children and that he had not lived with his wife for the past fifteen (15) years. His address was listed as Argus, Pa. On Saturday, February 8, 1908, Rufus filed a Declaration for Pension. The declaration recorded that he was already a pensioner (Certificate No. 905523). This filing was probably for a pension increase. He was now living in the vicinity of Tylersport, Montgomery County, Pa. A second declaration was filed four years later on Monday, June 3, 1912, which was probably for another pension increase. On Tuesday, March 20, 1923, at the age of 80, Rufus died. His death certificate recorded his place of death as Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pa. He was buried in Christ Union Cemetery, Trumbauersville, Pa. on Sunday, March 25th. The following month on Wednesday, April 11, 1923, Rufus widow, Elizabeth, filed for a widows pension. Her address was: 2323 North 10th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. On Thursday, May 10, 1923, Elizabeth filed a General Affidavit to support her application for a widows pension. As noted above, the affidavit included her reasons for leaving Rufus. It also recorded that her husbands true surname was Huber. Elizabeth died thirteen years after her application for a widows pension was filed. She died on Tuesday, January 21, 1936, at the age of 87. Her address at the time of death was: 2336 N. 9th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. She was buried on Friday, January 24, 1936, in North Cedar Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia.

55. Amanta (Amanda) Huber

Amanta was born on Saturday, March 29, 1845. Nothing more is known about her.

56. Catharina Ann Huber

Catharina Ann was born Sunday, February 28, 1847. She married Thomas Le Levy vy on Saturday, vy and Maria Kemmer er August 14, 1869, son of Nathan Le Levy Kemmerer er. When they married, she was 22 and Thomas was 31 years old. It is interesting to note that Thomas Levy was my 2nd great-granduncle and Catharina was my half great-grandaunt. Catharina and Thomas had two children. On Monday, March 14, 1921, Catharina died at the age of 74. The following year on Tuesday, August 8, 1922, Thomas passed away. He was 84. Catharina Anns husband was a great-grandson of Eva Hillegass making Catharina the 1st cousin, four times removed from Michael Hillegas, the first Treasurer of the United States, who served from 1775 to 1789 (see page 305).

64. Os win Kepner Huber Oswin

Oswin was born on Saturday, March 24, 1866, in Cressman, Pa. (Cressman was a small community in Milford Township that became part of Trumbauersville). He was baptized by the Rev. Frederick Waage on Sunday, May 20, 1866, and confirmed in the Christ Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville, Pa. on Saturday, October 29, 1881. Oswin attended the Keystone State Normal School (later Kutztown State Teachers College and now Kutztown University) from 1882 to 1885, graduating in 1885 as one of 29 with a two-year teaching certificate. He was one of the class orators at graduation.

175

The year after graduation from college, he married Emma Rebecca Dubbs on Thursday, January 28, 1886, in Christ Church, Cressman. Emma was the daughter of Aaron G. Dubbs and Ellamanda Zie genf uss and was born on Monday, December 9, 1867, in Milford Township, Bucks County, Zieg enfuss Pa. When they married, Oswin was 19 years old and Emma was 18. Their first of ten children was born in 1886, and their last child was born in 1899. While Emma raised the children, Oswin taught school and also the organ. He was the organist at Christ Church in Trumbauersville. About 1900 Emma and Oswin posed for portraits. Copies appear on this page. Oswin kept a personal diary. One of his diaries for the year 1886 survived and is in the possession of my cousin, Ray A. Huber. Ray transcribed the diary and made copies available to family members. The diary, written the year he married Emma, contains entries for every single day of the year. It contained mostly weather observations and unusual cloud formations. Oswin also documented the successes of his hunting and fishing endeavors. As Ray noted in his transcript, there were few references in Oswins diary to his parents or to his feelings toward his future wife, Emma.

Os win Kepner Huber Oswin Circa 1900, age 34

Emma Rebecca (nee Dubbs) Huber Circa 1900, age 33

For example, the news that Emma was pregnant and they would have to marry was recorded as follows. Jan. 9, Sat. at home; got up earlier than usual. Awfully stormy & snow all in drifts. Our chimney caught fire. Saw it just in time. Helped to clean snow from 5:30 to 7. To store. Mail came at 9:40. Mother and I had intended to go to the City. Shoveled snow from 10 til dinner. After dinner we cleared snow from garret [attic]. To store again. Out to Emma til 6. Bad walking in snow drifts. Fire went out. Received the news that we better marry. She was full of grief. Set down Thursday, the 28th. Clear at ten. Snowed very fast at 11. ***Snow & Cloudy***. Nine days later he recorded that he had a discussion with Emmas father, Aaron G. Dubbs, about their marriage that was set for January 28th. On their wedding day, Oswin recorded, Jan. 28 Thr. At home; out to Dubbs in morning. Home and got ready. Out again til 8. Went over to Waage where we got married. He was glad to see us. Took dinner. Cora made us pay toll. Charles took my team home after dinner. Rained fine whole day. Southeasterly winds. ***Rain***. As noted earlier, the diary provided no indication as to Oswins feelings toward Emma. However, they had ten children over the next 13 years. Then in 1904, Oswin said he was going to visit the St. Louis Worlds Fair. He took with him about $1,300, some of which he borrowed from Emmas father, Aaron

176

Dubbs. This money was probably the entire family savings. Today, assuming an annual 3.5% inflation rate, that amount of money would be worth $36,000. The real reason for his departure, however, was recorded in a 1904 news clipping. The newspaper reported that Oswin Huber, age 38, eloped on Tuesday, September 13, 1904, with an 18-year-old beauty, Williamenia (Minnie) Heffletrauger. It appears that Oswin, who carried mail between Trumbauersville and Quakertown, meet Minnie on his postal route as she rode with him from her home in Quakertown to her job as a tobacco stripper in Trumbauersville. The newspaper also reported that he mailed a letter to Emma from Lansdale soon after his departure saying he would never return home again. Oswin wrote at least two other letters to his wife, one dated Monday, December 19, 1904, and the other dated Wednesday, January 4, 1905. The return address on the envelopes was International Hotel, 824 to 838 Kearny Street, San Francisco, Cal. In his letters, he told Emma to address him as Oliver R. Hunter. He also begged for forgiveness and said he was in the doctors hands and asked that money be sent to him. He also wrote that that bad girl did not come away with him and that he was alone. To the familys knowledge, the January 5th letter was the last time they heard from Oswin. When Oswin abandoned his wife, their six living children ranged in age from five to eighteen. To support her family, Emma cared for children in the community. Over the years, she cared for some 90 children. In 1906, she was forced to borrow $1800 from her brother, Charles Dubbs. Six years later on Thursday, April 4, 1912, Emma sold some of her property to the Trumbauersville School District for $600. The land provided access to the school from North Main Street. By her own ingenuity, hard work and some help from family members, Emma kept her home and raised her children. She was a strong and proud woman. She lived to the age of 88 passing away on Friday, July 15, 1955, in Trumbauersville at the home of her daughter, Ella (nee Huber) Gretzinger. According to the research of my cousin, Ray A. Huber, Oswin did marry that bad girl, Minnie, sometime in 1905. This marriage, of course, was illegal, as Oswin was still married to Emma. Nevertheless, Oswin, now known as Oliver Hunter, and his second wife had three daughters, all born in San Francisco. The first daughter was born in 1905, the second in 1908 and the third in 1912. So the family survived the devastating San Francisco earthquake and fires in April 1906. Through his research, Ray was able to identify some 50 descendants of Oswin and Minnie. None were aware of Oswins life on the East Coast or that Oswin was a bigamist. In December of 1995, he located a daughter, Shirley Walden, one of Oswins and Minnies daughters. My cousin also discovered a picture taken of Oswin in San Francisco. He is delivering mail (see insert on next page) so he apparently returned to the profession he left in Pennsylvania, that is, a postal carrier. I estimate that he was about 45 years of age when this picture was taken, about 1911.

177

Oswin lived the remainder of his life in San Francisco. He died at the age of 64 on Sunday, November 16, 1930. He was buried at Cyprus Lawn Cemetery, Lot 597, Tier 8. A friend of mine in San Francisco said that this cemetery is located in Colma, about two miles from San Francisco. Minnie, his wife, survived Oswin by 29 years and died on Sunday, February 8, 1959, in San Francisco. She was 75 years old when she passed away.

There she married John R alston, about 1900. They had two children. Estella was my half 1st cousin, twice removed. As a young boy, I remember visiting the Ralston family on their farm in New Milford, located in upstate PA near the NY border. My dad would drive his car and take along his parents when we visited them. It must have taken us a good four or five hours to reach their farm from Trumbauersville. They raised cattle and grew various crops. On our visit, I recall drinking fresh milk from their cows and eating freshly churned butter with biscuits and chicken with dumplings. The date of Estellas death is not known.

Elevesta and William had eight children. William died on Thursday, May 31, 1928,at the age of 67 and was buried in the Union Cemetery in Quakertown, Pa. Elevesta lived to the age of 103 and died on Sunday, March 31, 1974. She was my 1st cousin, twice removed. Some historians believe that Elevestras husband, William R. Grant, was related to President Ulysses S. Grant. Williams grandfather, Johannes, married Salome Kemmerer. As reported in the book, Kemmerer-Past to Present, Salomes nephew, Rev. Ducan M. Kemmerer, wrote in his journal, Of fathers sisters, I know but little. One married a Grant who was the organist for years at the Lutheran Church near Quakertown. The family was related to President Grant. One possible connection may be between Johannes and Ulysses parents. Ulysses father, Jesse, was born in Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., Pa. and his mother was born in Horsham, Montgomery Co., Pa. Johannes lived in Montgomery Co., Pa. The proximity of Johannes and Hannah in Montgomery Co. suggests a connection. The direct link, however, could not be established. 179

The minister , who was the father of Emma Rebecca Dubbs was the brother of Aaron G. Dubbs Dubbs, Dubbs, Clarences mother. Thus, Rev. Jacob. G. Dubbs was the granduncle of Clarence Huber Huber. About 1905, Clarence married Eliza Umstead Hallman. She was born in 1882; her parents have not been identified. When Clarence and Eliza married, he was 19 years old and she was 23. They had five children, two boys and three girls. Eliza died in 1963 at the age of 81. Clarence lived another 21 years and passed away on Wednesday, July 25, 1984, at the age of 98.

The first one was a male, but he survived for only three and one-half months. In addition to raising her family, Ella worked in the local cigar factory. She often said that when her husband went to Business College, she supported the family by making cigars. Chapter 2 contains additional information about the lives of Ellen and Charles. Charles died at the age of 66 on Tuesday, two days before Christmas in 1952. Ellen survived her husband by 12 years and died on Saturday, May 16, 1964.

When they married, Pearl was 18 years old and Frederick was 20. Their picture appears as an insert on this page. They had two children, both females. As a young boy, I recall visiting Pearl and Fred at their home in Coopersburg. My dad, Wilmer H. Gretzinger, would drive our family to their home along with my grandparents, Ellen (nee Huber who was Pearls sister) and Charles Gretzinger. Sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s, Pearl and Fred sold their home and entered a senior citizens living facility. I believe it was in Bethlehem, Pa. Pearl died in 1958 at the age of 68.

Harold was 29 years old and Mabel was about 20 Cressman Hetric Hetrick, when they married. They had four children, two males and two females. Harold was also known as Hap. He owned a butcher shop on East Broad Street in Trumbauersville. As a young boy, I would watch him and his employees butcher steers. They would start by hitting the steer on the head with a ball paean hammer. A chain attached to its back legs then hoisted the unconscious steer. After hoisting the animal to the ceiling so that it was entirely off the floor, the underside was slit with a large knife from the rectum to the throat and allowed to bleed (I would assume if the hit on the head did not kill the animal, the bleeding would). After the bleeding stopped, the butchering began. That was when I usually left, as the smell of the dead animal (mostly from the bowel waste in the intestines) was too much for me to handle. Harold died in 1975 at the age of 79. His wife, Mabel, died 15 years earlier in 1960 at the age of about 55. Both Harold and Mabel are buried at St. Johns Lutheran Church Cemetery, Argus, Bucks County, Pa.

Serial No. 33772909 United States Army WW II
The Draft
The buildup for the Allied invasion of Europe in World War II (WW II) began in late 1943 and early 1944. Draft boards throughout America were looking for all the able bodies they could find to meet their quotas. Our local draft board was no exception. My grandfather, Charles H. Gretzinger, served on the local draft board, which I believe was headquartered in Quakertown, Bucks County, Pa. In early 1944, the board had to draft married men to meet their quota. One of those was my father, Wilmer. He was 32 years old, married and had three children, and he was drafted into the United States Army on March 7, 1944. I often wondered how my grandfather must have felt when he had to draft his son. It must have been very difficult for him. My dad had his basic training somewhere in the south, I believe it was Florida. I attempted to obtain my fathers military record from the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. I was advised that his records were lost in a fire at the center on July 12, 1973. The only information they provided was a certification of his military service showing his service dates. On the Internet, however, I was able to locate three veterans who served in my dads unit, the 109th Regiment, 28th Infantry Division. Their information helped to fill in many of the blanks concerning my dads military experiences. I also located my dads discharge records filed at the Bucks County courthouse in Doylestown, Pa. The family also had a picture of my dad, which I believe was taken at the end of his basic training in 1944. A copy of that picture appears in the insert. I knew from my dads discharge records that he was assigned as an infantryman in Company I, 109th Regiment, 28th Infantry Division. The 28th was later called The Bloody Bucket (its arm patch insignia was a bright red keystone) by the Germans because of the casualties suffered by the division in WW II. The 28th Division was initially composed of men from the Pennsylvania National Guard. The 28th Infantry Division was sent to the European Theater of Operations as part of Operation Overlord. Operation Overlord was the military codename for the Allied invasion of Europe. This invasion took place on the coast of Normandy, France from Caen to the Cotentin peninsula. In his book Citizen Soldiers, Stephen Ambrose listed the initial landing armaments. They involved 10,000 airplanes, 80 war ships, 4,000 other craft and 200,000 men. Within a week, another 100,000 men were landed and in the first 100 days two million soldiers reached France. 217

The Nor mand y In vasion Normand mandy Inv

The landing beaches along the Normandy coast were codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword. The landings began in the early morning of Thursday, June 6, 1944. The objective of the American forces, the US 1st Army and the US 3rd Army, after landing on the Normandy coast, was to capture the Cotentin peninsula from the port of Cherbourg to Caen, then turn to the east and advance to the Seine River, south of Paris. A map on northern Europe appears at the end of this chapter on page 234. The 28th Division was part of the reinforcements that landed in Normandy on Monday, July 24, 1944, under the command of Maj. Gen. Lloyd D. Brown. I learned, however, that my dad did not arrive in Europe until August 25, 1944, and thus, he did not participate in the Normandy invasion. He did participate in the later campaigns in the Huertgen Forest, the Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge), central Europe (Battle at Schleiden, Germany) and the Alsace (liberation of Colmar, France). Because of Maj. Gen. Browns lackluster performance in the early stages of the Normandy campaign, Brig. Gen. James E. Wheaton replaced him on August 13, 1944. Gen. Wheaton, however, was killed in action a few hours after he took command. On August 14th, Brig. Gen. Norman D. (Dutch) Cota was assigned as the new commander of the 28th Division. Gen. Cota was 51 years old and a 1917 graduate of West Point. As the commanding general of the 28th , his Division was one of four infantry divisions (the 2nd, the 8th, the 28th, and the 78th) assigned to the US Army V Corps under command of Maj. Gen. L. T. Gerow. The V Corps was assigned to the US First Army commanded by Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges. The First Army was assigned to the 12th Army Group under the command of Lt. Gen. Omar N. Bradley. The other principal unit assigned to the 12th Army Group was the 3rd Army commanded by Lt. Gen. George S. Patton. The 12th Army Group along with the US 6th Army Group, commanded by Lt. Gen. Jacob Devers, and the British Army 21st Group, commanded by Field Marshall Sir B. L. Montgomery, reported to the Allied Supreme Commander, General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Three regiments were assigned to the 28th Division, the 109th, the 110th and the 112th. At full strength, each regiment had 3,257 men. Each regiment had three battalions and each battalion had 836 men. Each of the battalions had four companies; 1st Battalion-Companies A, B, C and D; 2nd Battalion-Companies E, F, G and H; and 3rd Battalion-Companies I, K, L and M. Finally, each company had three rifle companies (193 men), an I&R platoon, an ammo platoon, an antitank platoon and a heavy weapons company. My dad was assigned to Company I, 3rd Battalion, 109th Regiment. It is not known to which platoon in Company I he was assigned.

The Nor mand y Hed ger ows Normand mandy Hedg ero
In July 1944, Lt. Gen. Hodges 1st Army, which included the 28th Infantry, opened an offensive around St. L, the key crossroads city in lower Normandy. The battlefield in this area of Normandy was in hedgerows that dated back to the Roman times. The hedgerows were mounds of earth surrounding a field to keep cattle in and to mark boundaries. The field usually had only one entrance. The brush growing from the hedgerows often meet overhead above the sunken roads that paralleled the hedgerows.

218

Fighting an offensive in these hedgerows was dangerous. If a tank tried to go over the hedgerow, it exposed its underbelly, which was not armor-plated. Also, the Sherman tank was not powerful enough to break through the cementlike base of the hedgerows. And there were many hedgerows the division had to cross in towns such as Percy, Montbray, Montguorary, Gathemo and St. Sever de Calvados. The Allied offensive was stuck in place for weeks trying to break through the hedgerows. In his book Citizen Soldiers, Stephen Ambrose described the hedgerow fighting and how the tanks were fitted with steel blades that could cut through the hedgerows. During the battle, he also stated that the air force dropped 16,000 tons of bombs. By August 1, 1944, Lt. Gen. George S. Pattons 3rd Army was advancing in four directions and the 1st Army pressed forward as German resistance collapsed. In a movement north in late August, the 28th succeeded in trapping the remnants of the German 7th Army. The division advanced through Vorneuil, Breteuil, Damville, Conches, Le Neubourg and Elbuef. This offensive allowed Pattons 3rd Army to swing behind the German line and push them back to Falasie where 50,000 Germans surrendered. The 1st Army broke out of the hedgerows into the relatively flat land that lay to the east toward Paris. The Battle of Normandy was over. It lasted 75 days. Ambroses book listed the causalities. The Allies suffered 209,672 causalities, 39,976 dead of which 26,780 were American. The Germans lost 450,000, with 240,000 killed or wounded.

Liberation of Paris
The 1st Army pushed across France toward Paris meeting only minor German resistance. The city of Paris was liberated on Friday, August 25, 1944. Because many Communist collaborators were in Paris and many Germans were hiding in the city, DeGaulle requested Eisenhower to have the 4th Division move through the city as it moved eastward and the 28th Division to march down the Champs Elyses. DeGaulle wanted a show of Allied force in the liberated streets of Paris. All three regiments of the Division marched on August 29, 1944. Since my dad did not land in Europe (actually Scotland) until August 25, it is doubtful that he participated in the parade (see insert). The next objective of the 1st Army was to break through the Siegfried Line, or West Wall, and continue to drive east to the Rhine River. The 109th was to clear the city of Compiegne, France, cross the Aisne River about 50 miles north of Paris and continue to the border between Luxembourg and Germany. On August 31, Compiegne was taken by the 109th. The regiment continued to march east, travelling about 195 miles in eleven days, and arrived in Breidfeld, Luxembourg on September 11th. The 109th Regiment was under command of Col. Liberation of Paris Parade , August 29, 1944 Parade, William Lee Blanton, the 3rd Battalion was commanded by Lt. Col. Trapani and Company I, my dads unit, by 1st Lt. Wilfred A. Dulac. Capt. Harry M. Kemp commanded M Company of the 3rd Battalion (he retired at the rank of Colonel and lives in San Antonio, Texas). On Septem-

219

ber 18, 1944, one of the replacements assigned to I Company was Lt. William M. Pena. He was assigned commander of the 1st Platoon of I Company. He also is retired (at the rank of Captain) and lives in Houston, Texas. Through a contact on the Internet, I found both Kemp and Pena and corresponded with them. I learned that they wrote books about their WW II experiences. They both sent me a copy of their books, which I have used to detail my dads WW II experiences. Col.Kemp detailed the sequence of operations for the 109th Regiment in his book, The Regiment. Col. Kemp enlisted in the 109th in 1937 and served The Regiment through five battle campaigns in Europe until September 1945. Capt. Pena was a ROTC graduate from Texas A & M College and commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant on May 16, 1942. He graduated from the Officer Basic Training Course and in August 1944 was assigned to the European Theatre of Operations. His book, As Far As Schleiden, details his experiences in WW II. As noted above, I used both books to follow the operations of my dads unit, the 109th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Battalion, Company I. Neither Kemp nor Pena remember my dad, but Pena did locate a picture of a group of soldiers taken in Germany that included my father. The picture was in the possession of Capt. prise w hen I r ecei ved this pictur e!! surprise when recei eceiv picture!! Bruce W. Paul, I Company commander. What a sur

On September 13, 1944, the 109th was ordered to advance from Breidfeld, Luxembourg across the Our River (the river was the boundary between Luxembourg and Germany) to Sevenig, Germany, thus becoming the first US unit to enter Germany. The objective of the 3rd Battalion was to take Hill 515, known as Purple Heart Hill, just east of Sevenig. On September 18th, the Germans counterattacked and the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Trapani, ordered a retreat. When word of the retreat reached Gen. Cota, 28th Division commander, he was furious as the battalion was ordered to hold its position. Cota relieved Trapani and replaced him with Maj. Harold S. Martin. The regimental commander, Col. Blanton, was also relieved and was replaced by Lt. Col. Strickler. The map below follows the 109th from September through November 1944.

Between September 13th and 29th, replacements arrived40 new officers and 981 enlisted men. Company I was still under the command of Capt. Dulac. His platoon leaders were: 1st Platoon 1st Lt. William Pena, 2nd Platoon Sgt. Edward Parks. Since my dad arrived in Scotland on August 25,

220

I estimate that it took him about three weeks to be assigned to the front. Therefore, it is probable that my dad was one of the replacements and was assigned to I Company in mid-to late September 1944. I do not know to which platoon he was assigned. In early October the 28th division was relieved and moved 50 miles north to Elsenborn, Belgium. The 3rd Battalion moved four miles east of Elsenborn to Rocherath. On October 6th, the battalion commander, Maj. Martin, became ill from a previous medical problem (stomach ulcers) and was replaced by Cap. Howard L. Topping. Topping was promoted to Major on October 22. On October 21, the 3rd Battalion was ordered north by motor convey to an area near Germeter, Germany to relieve the 39th Regiment, 9th Division who had been in combat in the Huertgen Forest. The forest stretched south of Aachen for 20 miles in a northeast to southwest direction, about ten miles wide. The Kall and Roer Rivers flowed on the south and east boundaries of the forest. Commander of the 1st Army, Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges plan was to drive the Germans out of the forest. But the senior officers who planned the Huertgen Forest campaign did so from maps, not the field. They had no direct knowledge of the forest terrain or the strength of the German positions in the forest. In addition, the Germans controlled the upstream dams on the Roer River. If US troops moved into the forest valley, the dams could be opened to flood the valley. It would have been better to bypass the forest and concentrate on the dams. Capturing the forest without the dams was worthless. Hodges plan was stupid, and it would prove to be extremely costly.

Battle of the Huer tg en For est Huertg tgen Forest

The Battle of the Huertgen Forest would be fought under conditions as bad as US soldiers ever had to face. The forest was filled with fir trees 30 to 40 feet high about four feet apart. It was so thick that the sun never reached the forest floor. It was always cold and wet. The 28th Division had two major objectives. The first was to seize the eastern ridge of the forest from Bergsten to the town of Huertgen. The second objective was to capture the town of Schmidt. The assignments of the three regiments of the 28th were: the 109th would drive north beyond Germeter toward Huertgen; the 112th would drive toward Kommerscheidt and the 110th would drive to the town of Schmeidt. At 8AM on Thursday, November 2, 1944, the 28th Division moved out of their foxholes into the misty woods. It was a cold and foggy morning. The forest was so thick that it was difficult to see more than a few feet in any direction. The US soldiers were not trained to fight a battle in dense forest conditions. Their tanks were essentially useless. And it was impossible to call in artillery because the enemy could not be seen. German artillery, however, knew the 28th was coming and opened fire. The shells would hit the tops of the trees and so called tree bursts resulted in a deadly shower of wooden splinters. Our infantry soon discovered it was not advantageous to lie face down on the ground during these tree bursts as they exposed too much of their body to the deadly splinters. It was better to stand erect exposing as little of their body as possible to the overhead tree bursts. During the initial fighting, Company A of the 1st Battalion lost half of their riflemen. Company I of the 3rd Battalion (my dads unit) found a path through the minefield on the road from 221

Wittscheidt to Huertgen. However, none of the remaining soldiers in the unit would advance toward Huertgen so Company I returned to Wittscheidt. On their return, they captured fifteen German soldiers and made them walk in front of them through the minefield. Many of the mines were encased in wood making them very difficult to detect. As noted above, my dad was assigned to Company I. Thus, he may have been in the unit that captured these Germans. He would tell us later that he did serve as an interpreter as he could speak German. He may have interrogated some of the fifteen prisoners that Company I captured. On the second day of the battle, November 3rd, Capt. Dulac, I Company commander, was wounded and replaced by Capt. Bruce W. Paul. The commander of the 3rd Battalion, Maj. Topping, ordered two of his companies, I and L, to assist the 1st Battalion who had suffered heavy losses. On November 4, the 2nd Battalion also suffered heavy losses. They had hit a nest of German bunkers and couldnt capture them. The 3rd Battalion encountered bunkers protected by double-strand concertina wire and deep anti tank ditches. Reinforcements were needed. On November 7, the 12th Infantry Regiment assigned to the 4th Division, VII Corps, relived the 109th Regiment north of Germeter. The 3rd Battalion of the 109th was reassigned to the battle west of the Kall River. Maj. Topping ordered his battalion to secure the road from Schmidt to Kommerscheidt. The 3rd Battalion took a position on the west bank of the Kall opposite the town of Kommerscheidt. Company L crossed the river but lost twenty men and Maj. Topping was wounded. Heavy losses continued and Gen. Cota requested that his troops be allowed to withdraw to the west bank of the Kall River. In November there were major command changes in the regiment. Maj. James H. McCoy replaced Maj. Topping, who was wounded by a German sniper, as commander of the 3rd Battalion, and on November 8, Col. Jesse L. Gibney replaced Lt. Col. Strickler as the new commander of the 109th Regiment. In addition, replacements began to arrive on November 9 and the troops had three hot meals and beer. The 28th Division had suffered appalling casualties in the first two weeks of November, a total of 5,684 losses, or about one out of every three soldiers. The 109th lost half of its 3,000 men. On November 9, Gen. Eisenhower met with Maj. Gen. Cota, commander of the 28th Division. On November 11, the Germans asked the 3rd Battalion to surrender. The battalion refused. My father mentioned to us after the war that at one time he thought the Germans would capture them. This may well have been that time. On November 18, the 12th Regiment, 4th Division, replaced the 109th Regiment. The division was motored south 150 miles to relieve the 121st Regiment. The 109th established its command post at Bettendorf, Luxembourg. However, in less than a month, the 28th would be called upon to do battle in the Ardennes, a wooded plateau in Northeast France, southern Belgium and Luxembourg. The next Allied offensive was to begin in mid-November. Gen. Eisenhower was planning a big push that would break the back of the German army. Most felt that the war would be over by Christmas.

222

The Battle of the Bul ge Bulg

By early December, the Allied forces totaled two million men with 45,000 vehicles. Coordination and supply of this extensive Allied front, however, had become very difficult. Hitler saw an opportunity for a counterattack. He ordered General von Rumstead to advance from the Ardennes toward Liege and ultimately to the port of Antwerp in Belgium. Von Rumstead knew he did not have the troops and supplies to complete the objectives of this counterattack. But, he was a professional soldier, and he obeyed Hitlers orders. General von Rumstead began his counter attack at 5:30 AM on December 16 with 13 infantry divisions and eight armored divisions totaling 1.3 million men. The German plan was to smash through the relatively inexperienced 1st Army and push on to Antwerp. His forces would advance 50 miles into Allied territory by Christmas. Also in early December, there was another major change of regimental command. Lt. Col. James Earl Rudder replaced Col. Gibney, who was just appointed the previous month. Col. Gibney was transferred to a command post assignment. The 3rd Battalion, 109th Regiment, held a position in Bettendorf, Luxembourg (see map insert) that was part of a 25-mile defensive line in this region of the Ardennes. Each of the three regiments of the 109th had about eight miles to defend. This distance, eight miles, was much too long to be adequately defended by one regiment, particularly in view of the German counterattack that began on December 16th. The 352 Volks Grenadier Division attacked the 109th Regiment. Company I had a defensive position on the high ground over looking the Our River. The Germans were held back for two days, but on December 18, the regiment was ordered to regroup at Dietirch, about four miles west of their present position. In the first two days of the battle, Company I had lost one rifle platoon.

Under intense enemy pressure, the 109th was again ordered to regroup at Ettelbruck, about two miles GERMANY BELGIUM further west. Because of heavy losses, the 3rd BatBastogne Sevenig talion had to reorganize into three task forces- L, K and I. Task Force I was commanded by Bruce W. LUXEMBOURG Paul. He replaced 1st Lt. Dulac, who was wounded Our River Sure River Libramont on November 2. Company I (my dads unit) was assigned to this task force. 1st Lt. Tropp commanded Bettendorf Diekirch Ettelbruck Task Force K and Capt. Fossum commanded Task Sedan Moestrof Force L. Task Force I took a defensive position about one mile east of Ettelbruck. The weather was so FRANCE Colmar bad that the Allied planes could not support our ground troops. At first the battle went well for the Battle of the Bul ge Bulg Germans. They pushed the US 1st Army back creat109th Regiment Operations, Dec. 1944 ing a bulge in the line. This attack became known as the Battle of the Bulge. However, the 110th Infantry Regiment with 2,000 men stopped four German regiments with over 10,000 men. Gen. Kokott later praised the 28th Division for delaying and stopping the German assault. Much of the fighting was done in foxholes. The GIs spent most of their time living in these cold

223

and wet holes. Snow began falling before Christmas and continued into February 1945. In January, the temperature dropped to minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The front line soldiers were never warm. Vehicle engines froze, as did weapons. One solution was to urinate on the weapon to unfreeze it. A major problem was trench foot. First, the toenails fell off, then the foot turned purple, then black, sometimes leading to amputation. The only solution was to keep the feet as dry as possible. Many soldiers carried two pair of socks, wearing one pair and keeping the second pair around the neck to keep it dry. My father often mentioned that it was very difficult to keep his feet dry. By December 21, the Company I was down to 50 men from an authorized level of 289. Allied reinforcements were brought in, and the weather cleared. Pattons 3rd Army moved in to relieve the regiments of the 29th Division. Pattons army would continue its move north to relieve the city of Bastogne, Belgium that was surrounded and under heavy attack by the Germans. Relief of the 109th Regiment was completed on December 23, and the regiment was ordered from Ettelbruck to Moestrof, Luxembourg. The commander of Company I, Cap. Paul, was ordered to send a patrol into Moestrof to determine if the enemy was still in the town. The Germans, however, had evacuated the town so it was relatively quiet for the 109th for the next few days. Christmas Day, a Monday, for the regiment was a special day. The troops were served a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. I wonder if it was still hot when the troops at the front lines sat down to eat their Christmas meal? The tide of the Battle of the Bulge turned. The weather cleared, and air support was possible. On December 26, the 109th was relieved and motored to Libramont, Belgium and on to Sedan, France, arriving there on January 3, 1945. The Bulge was over for the 109th. The regiment lost 1,174 men of a total authorized level of 3, 257. Company I lost an entire rifle platoon. General Von Rumstead was unable to advance any further because his major supply route, Bastogne, was now in Allied hands thanks to Pattons 3rd Army. The German counterattack ended in defeat on Sunday, January 28, 1945, with the loss of 200,000 men. This battle proved to be the last German counterattack of World War II.

The Colmar Poc ket Pock

Having sustained a devastating 15,000 causalities, the 28th withdrew in early January to refortify. But within three weeks the Division was back in action. It was moved south to the area around Colmar, France, some 75 miles southeast of Luxembourg. The Division was temporarily assigned on January 20 to the French 1st Army under command of Gen. Bernard Lattre de Tassigny. The 28th, along with the French 1st Army, was assigned to the area around the city of Colmar. The 109th reached their positions on Tuesday, January 9. Initial positions were in the Vosges Mountains outside the city of Colmar.

Colmar to Sc hleiden to W eidenthal Schleiden Weidenthal 109th Operations, January 1945 to April 1945

The German army with about 50,000 troops occupied the area around Colmar. It was known as the Colmar Pocket. The objective of this battle was to retake the city and to eliminate the German-held position in Colmar. The 3rd Battalion established a command post at Plainfaing in the Vosges where it snowed almost every day. The snow was an average of 20 inches deep. The 20th French Moroccan Mule Team Company brought supplies to the front line troops by mule, as trucks were useless on these narrow, mountainous, snow covered roads. Supplies were moved at night because they were obvious targets during the day in the snow. The Germans occupied Colmar because it was a key transportation center. The city dates back to 825 AD when it was founded as a royal villa. In 1226 it became an imperial city and in 1681 it was annexed to France. Germany annexed the city in 1871, but it was given back to France at the end of WW I in 1919. Now, the Germans once again occupied Colmar. Its population was 40,000. On January 28, the divisions operational control was reassigned to XXI US Corps. Four days later, the attack on Colmar began at 11 PM. By 3AM on February 2, Company I of the 3rd Battalion had reached the northern outskirts of the city and thus was the first unit to arrive in Colmar. As planned, the French Armored unit would then sweep through the city. By nightfall, Colmar was liberated with only 125 casualties. Allied losses were so low because the night offensive completely surprised the enemy. A victory celebration took place on Wednesday, February 8. Company I was chosen to lead a parade through the city of Colmar (see picture on the next page).

225

Colmar Parade , Febr uar y 8, 1945 Parade, Februar uary Led by Lt. Col. Rudder, Commander 109th Infantry Regiment Followed by Company I

The regimental and battalion commanders, Lt. Col. Rudder and Maj. McCoy, headed the parade. Since my dad was assigned to Company I, he undoubtedly marched in this parade. The parade was referred to as Little Paris to distinguish it from the parade in Paris on August 29, 1944, when the 28th Division marched to celebrate the liberation of Paris. I obtained a copy of the Colmar picture of the parade from Col. Kemp. During the battle, my fathers Regiment, the 109th Infantry Regiment, distinguished itself and on March 27, 1945, Gen. Charles de Gaulle awarded the regiment the French Croix de Guerre (War Cross, see page 235). The 109th action led to the liberation of Colmar, the last major French city in German hands. On February 12, 1945, the 109th was relieved. On February 18, Lt. Col. Rudder was promoted to Colonel. The next day the regiment was moved north 165 miles by motor and rail to a position at Bransfeld, Germany overlooking the Olef River about one-half mile from the city of Schleiden.

226

The Battle f or Sc hleiden for Schleiden

Between February 20 and 26, the regiment launched numerous patrols toward Schleiden to find and determine enemy positions and strength. On March 3, it was determined that the enemy was leaving its positions and moving east across the Olef River. Company I and G were ordered into the city but found no Germans. The buildings, however, were mined and heavily boobytrapped with explosives. The next day, the entire 1st and 3rd Battalions of the 109th crossed the Olef River and moved into Schleiden. They did not realize it, but on Tuesday, March 7, the shooting war for the 109th was over!

Occupation Duties
On March 19, the regiment was moved to Nickenich, 15 miles west of Koblenz. On March 22, they were trucked to Koblenz to relieve the 87th Division. The 109th reached Koblenz at 10:30 AM and assembled in several large commercial buildings located a few blocks from the river to wait for the exchange with the 87th. Orders, however, were changed and the 109th was ordered to return to Nickenich the next morning. At 7 AM the next day, the regiment was ready to depart Koblenz, except one company was missing. A senior NCO was dispatched to find the unit. It was found and the NCO informed the regimental commander that the company would be ready in 15 minutes. Later, it was learned that the missing company had discovered a large cache of fine wines in the cellar of their building. The company slept very soundly that night! The 3rd Battalion was moved on March 27 to Dirmerzheim, Germany (in the area south of Remagen) for occupation duty and was attached to the 23rd Tank Destroyer Group as were the 1st and 2nd Battalions. This duty involved searching for weapons and establishing guard posts at bridges, key crossroads and supply points. The remaining units of the 109th, the HQ, HQ Company, the Anti-Tank Company and the Service Company remained under the command of Col. Rudder. On March 29 and 30, Rudders remaining units moved about ten miles south to Honningen and crossed the Rhine River on an engineer-built pontoon bridge and established a Command Post (CP) at Hershbach, about 20 miles east of the Rhine River. By April 7, it was clear to higher headquarters that the 28th Division would not be needed in the final fighting. On April 10, the detached units of the 109th (1st , 2nd and 3rd Battalions) were returned to regimental command. These units were already west of the Rhine on occupation duty. On that day they were joined by the remainder of the regiment, which crossed the river from the east. Col. Rudder established his CP at Bardenberg, Germany and took occupation responsibility for the area north of Aachen, Germany adjacent to the German-Netherlands border. By April 18, it became definite that the 109th would be on the move again. On April 19, the regiment began a 215-mile motor and rail move to the south to a new occupation area. Col. Rudder established his regimental CP in Kircheimbolandem, Germany, about 17 miles west of Worms, Germany. The 3rd Battalion of the 109th had tactical control of the areas around Frankenthal, about five miles south of Worms, and Ludwigshafen, about ten miles south of Worms. A key area of control was the Ludwigshafen-Mannheim Bridge across the Rhine. Control of the bridge was directed by a combination of key military government men directed by the Regiment and German-speaking soldiers of the 109th. Since my father spoke German, he may have been involved in this activity. 227

I Company established a company command post in the town of Weidenthal, about 20 miles southwest of Worms, Germany. Through my correspondence with Capt. Pena, he informed me that there was a picture taken of the command post soldiers in Weidenthal and that my dad was in the picture. He said the picture was in the possession of Capt. Bruce W. Paul, the commander of I Company. Capt. Paul is retired, at the rank of colonel, and living in Laguna Hills, CA. He sent me a letter with six pictures taken in Germany. One of these pictures was the staff at the command post in Weidenthal. A copy of that picture is below. The picture is identical to the one my dad brought home. My dad identified some of the soldiers in the picture as noted above. Capt. Paul said in his letter that the picture was taken in front of the command post, which was the best house in town. A doctor owned the house. I estimate that this picture was taken in late April or May of 1945. Capt. Paul also said in his letter that I Company had responsibility for Weidenthal and three other surrounding towns. The companys main concerns were sabotage and the rail road tunnels in their occupation area. If you look closely at the picture, you can see the stub of a cigar from my fathers lips. His Army nickname was Churchill as he smoked a cigar whenever it was possible. I recall that my grandfather would send my dad boxes of cigars in our Care packages. Capt. Paul mentioned in his letter that they had no cameras or film. They found both in bombed out buildings. He did not know how the pictures were developed. He said that sometimes it didnt pay to ask questions. In June 1998, my wife and I were on a Rhine River cruise and sailed under the LudwigshafenMannheim Bridge. We also passed within 17 miles of Weidenthal. Unfortunately, I was not aware of my fathers occupation activity in this area when we were in Germany. It would have been great to take pictures of the bridge and the town of Weidenthal, and to look for the doctors house that became the command post.

The End
Further north, other units of the 1st Army broke out of Cologne and headed toward Paderborn, about 70 miles northeast of Cologne. They were advancing in mostly rural areas untouched by the war. The GIs were able to spend many nights in German houses. On Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945, the US 12th Army Group and the British 21st Army Group linked up near Paderborn. Some 400,000 German troops were encircled. From Paderborn it was about 160 miles to the Elbe River and about another 70 miles to Berlin. Eisenhower now had a decision to make. Should his army race on to Berlin to beat the Russians who were only about 60 miles from the city, or should he concentrate on liberating more than 90,000 Allied POWs in the south? The Big Three at their meeting in Yalta had already agreed to the sector boundaries of Germany, which established the Elbe River as the boundary. Eisenhower reasoned that if he won the race to Berlin, he would have to relinquish control of the land between the Elbe River and Berlin anyway, as the Russians would occupy that area after the war. He decided to stop his troops at the Elbe and to liberate the POWs in the south. He ordered the 9th Army to halt at the Elbe River, the 1st Army to push on to Dresden and stop at the Elbe and the 3rd and 7th Armies to overrun Bavaria and Austria. On April 25, units of the US 1st Army meet the Russian Army near Torgau on the Elbe River, about 50 miles north of Dresden. The Russians reached Berlin on April 25 and surrounded the city. Hitler committed suicide on May 1, and news of his death was broadcast to the German people. Admiral Doenitz took command of the German forces and surrendered to the Allied forces on May 7. The official surrender was signed on Tuesday, May 8, and President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill announced Victory in Europe, V-E Day. On that day, the 3rd Battalion, 109th Infantry Regiments official journal recorded it was VE Day and the weather was warm and clear. The war in Europe was over for the 109th.

Causalities
In his book, Citizen Soldiers, Stephen Ambrose listed the causalities each infantry division suffered from the landing at Normandy on June 6, 1944, to the surrender of Germany on May 8, 1945. The numbers astounded me. Forty-four US infantry divisions participated in the battles from Normandy to Berlin. The original strength of these divisions was about 620,000 men. There were 377,084 combat causalities and 660,962 non-combat causalities. Those losses equated to a turnover of 107%, or virtually every soldier who landed in Normandy did not make it to VE Day. For those that did make it, there were others who were replaced numerous times. From the data in Ambroses book, I calculated some statistics for the average of the forty-four divisions and compared them to the 28th Division in the table on the next page.

229

The 28th Division suffered almost twice as many losses as the average division and was in combat almost 60% of the time. Its a miracle my father made it without a scratch!

Demobilization
After V-E Day, some GIs would return home. But there was still a war in the Pacific, so not everyone would be going home. A point system, called the Adjusted Service Rating (ASR), was established to determine which of the GIs would be going back to the US. Points were given for length of service, time overseas, combat decorations and number of dependent children. An ASR of 85 or greater meant that the soldier would return home and be discharged. My dad had an as g oin g home!! . He w was goin oing ASR of 86. Re-deployment of the 28th Division began in early July 1945. Those who had low ASRs were to depart Europe for leave in the US and then on to the Pacific. The high ASR men from the 28th Division were to be transferred to the 106th Division in exchange for low ASR men. On July 1, the division moved by rail and truck to a camp (Camp Pittsburgh) near Reims, France. They arrived on July 8 and from that time to July 28, they prepared for the ocean trip to the US. Their port of departure was LeHavre, France. The first to leave was the 3rd Battalion of the 109th. The battalion left LeHavre on July 28 on the ship Escelsior. I obtained from Col. Kemp a copy of a picture showing the 3rd Battalion boarding the ship. My father is probably somewhere in the mass of soldiers waiting to board the ship (see picture below).

3rd Battalion, 109th Re giment Regiment Boarding the Ship Escelsior, July 28, 1945, LeHavre, France

230

Col. Kemp reported in his book that even though space on board the ship was sparse, the food was good and plentiful and the seas were calm. The regiment arrived in Boston on Saturday, August 4 to a tumultuous welcome. They were moved by train to nearby Camp Miles Standish where a huge steak dinner with all the trimmings was served. In the next few days, all the troops were on their way home assigned to 30-day temporary duty at home, including my dad. While on leave, a picture was taken of him with his brother, Ralph, and his sister, Myrtle. The picture (see below) was taken in the back of his fathers house, Charles H. Gretzingers, in August 1945. While my dad was home on leave, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945. The next day another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, and Japan surrendered on Tuesday, August 14. After his leave was over, my father returned to the separation center at Indiantown Gap Military Reservation in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania and was discharged on Wednesday, September 12, 1945, and returned home to Trumbauersville and his family.

It is somewhat ironic that my father went to Germany in 1944 to liberate oppressed people, and his great-grand father, Lewis, may have left Germany 94 years earlier because of the oppression he experienced. It is also interesting to note that when my fathers unit, the 28th Division, was in the battle to liberate Colmar, France, he was only 91 miles from Reutlingen, the town where his great-grandfather, Lewis, had emigrated in 1848.

Campai gn A war ds Campaign Aw ards

My dads discharge papers, which are filed at the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown, listed his decorations and citations. He was awarded the European Service Medal with Four Bronze Stars. The stars represent four campaigns. To my knowledge, they were (1) The Battle of the Huertgen Forest, (2) The Battle of the Bulge, (3) The Colmar Pocket and (4) The Schleiden Campaign.

Deser tion in the 28th Di vision, 109th Re giment Desertion Division, Regiment
During the many battles faced by the 28th Division in WW II, there were a number of deserters, as there are in any war. There was one desertion, however, that interested me because the deserter was from my fathers regiment, the 109th. The deserter was Private Edward (Eddy) Slovik. Eddy had a troubled childhood and was arrested for petty theft and larceny. Because of his criminal record, he was originally classified as undesirable by his draft board. As the buildup for the invasion of Normandy was underway, many draft boards reclassified men to meet their quotas. Eddy was one of those who was reclassified. He was drafted in 1944 and assigned to the 28th Division, 109th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, Company G on August 25, 1944. My dad never mentioned Eddys name so I doubt if he knew Slovik personally even though they were in the same regiment. During the battle at Elbeuf, a town on the Seine River, Sloviks unit was ordered to advance. Slovik deserted his unit and remained in Elbeuf where he ran into a Canadian Army unit, the 13th Provost Corps. He remained with the Canadians and cooked for them while they tracked down his unit. After locating his unit, he was returned to the 109th Regiment, Company G on October 8. Eddy told his commander, Capt. Ralph O. Grotte, that he could not return to the front lines. He was too nervous. Grotte was not impressed and assigned Eddie to a weapons platoon. The next morning, Eddie left again and turned himself in to the military police in Rocherath, Belgium. He was again returned to the 109th and wound up with the Executive Officer, Lt. Col. Ross C. Henbest (on October 22, Henbest was assigned commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 109th). He gave Henbest a written statement saying that if he were returned to the front he would desert again. His commander had no choice but to advise Eddy that he would be court marshaled for desertion. He was arrested and placed in the 28th Division stockade to be tried by General Court-Marshall on November 11, 1944. The stockade was nothing more than a farmers barn in Belgium. Also in the stockade were other deserters. As the deserters were tried for desertion, they would return to the stockade to tell their fellow inmates of their sentence. The typical sentence was twenty years at hard labor. Many felt, however, that their sentence would be significantly shortened after the end of the war. Eddys court marshal trial was held in Belgium. The division convened by Gen. Cota had nine officer members headed by Col. Guy M. Williams, the divisions finance officer. The other eight military judges were all staff officers. None had combat experience. Officers with combat experience were needed at the front during these critical times, particularly as the Battle of the Huertgen Forest was in full swing. The court convened at 10 AM, November 11, 1944. After hearing the charges and the witnesses, the court asked Eddy if he wished to offer any comments in his defense to the court. He stated that he did not wish to make any statements. Probably the most damming evidence was his written statement that he refused to retract. The judges found him guilty and sentenced him to be shot to death by musketry. Many of these officers later admitted that they thought the sentence would be overturned and changed to imprisonment. Pvt. Slovik was one of 129 other US soldiers given death sentences in the European Theatre of Operations during mid July 1942 232

to October 1945. He was the only one, however, to be executed. While waiting to be executed, he was transferred to a stockade in Paris. There, Eddy wrote to General Eisenhower asking that his life be spared. It was not to be. General Cota, commander of the 28th Division, signed the execution order on November 27 and Private Edward Slovik was doomed. The execution was scheduled for Tuesday, January 31, 1945, at the 109th area in France and was approved by Gen. Eisenhower on January 23, 1945. On January 31, 1945, the 109th regimental commander, Lt. Col. Rudder, was called away from the front to attend the execution of Pvt. Slovik. He ordered each of his battalion commanders to provide twelve expert riflemen with the sergeant of the execution detail to come from the 2nd Battalion. As for witnesses, Rudder was accompanied by his 2nd Battalion commander, Maj. Harold Martin. In addition, Gen. Cota and his staff assembled a large representative group of officers and enlisted men from the 28th Division and other XXI Corps units. The general idea was to convey to the troops that the price for desertion was a heavy one. The execution site was a property at No. 86 Rue de General Bourgeois, St. Marie-aux-Mines. It was selected because a seven and one-half foot high wall enclosed it. Slovik was transported by truck from Paris and arrived at this site at 7:30 AM on January 31. The day of the execution was gray, overcast, warmer than usual and there was snow on the ground. The Catholic chaplain of the 109th, Capt. Carl P. Cummings, heard Eddys last confession. His hands were tied behind his back and he was led to an enclosed area outside where he was strapped to a large stake. A hood was placed over his head and the firing squad marched onto the field. The squad was told that one of their rifles was loaded with a blank and only the officer who loaded the weapons knew the identity of that rifle. The order was given Ready, Aim, Fire. The crack of the guns sounded in the gray, overcast morning. Eddy went limp, but it appeared that he was not dead. The attending doctor examined him and found that his heart was still beating. Not a single bullet had hit Eddys heart. Either the firing squad was too nervous to be accurate or many of the riflemen intentionally missed their target. The officer in charge of the execution ordered that the firing squads rifles be reloaded. Before the rifles were reloaded, however, the doctor declared that Eddy was dead. Private Edward Slovik became the first and only WW II soldier to be executed for desertion. Many questions have been raised about the reasons why he was shot. Some believe it was because of his criminal record. Others say it was because Eisenhower wanted to make him an example of what would happen to deserters, particularly at this time when every able soldier was needed at the front to defeat the Germans. The Army later acknowledged that the officers presiding at Eddys court marshal should have had combat experience. I would agree. Only those who have faced and endured actual fire under combat can understand the hell of war. Combat officers may have seen Eddys desertion under a completely different light. He might not have been sentenced to death by those who also faced death in battle as Eddy did.

CHAPTER 7
Stief el Genealo gy Stiefel Genealogy
Intr oduction Introduction
When I found my emigrants (Lewis Gretzingers) marriage announcement, I learned that he married a Stiefel. Her name was recorded in the marriage announcement as Hannah, aka Johanna, Stiefel. They were married in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. on Wednesday, August 16, 1854. I knew nothing of my Stiefel ancestors. My initial discovery was in the book, Germans to America 1850-1878 (page 79 of Vol. 5), which listed the Stiefel family as emigrating on the ship Mountaineer. They left from Harve, France and arrived in New York on August 18, 1854. Jacob Stiefel, his wife Catharine and seven children (three males and four females) were listed. Further research has shown that there were two males ( Jacob and Wilhelm) and five females (Catharina, Christiana, Jacobina, Caroline and Frederica). This information was obtained from the minutes to the Derdingen, Germany Town Council dated May 29,1854. These minutes also stated that Jacob and his family immigrated with a total property of 1000 Gulden. A Gulden was a former German coin and is worth about 60 cents today. Thus, Jacobs total property would have been worth about $600 today, not very much money for a family of nine people to begin a new life in a distant country. Johanna and Elizabeth were not included in the list emigrating with their parents. As recorded in the minutes to the Derdingen, Germany Town Council dated February 9, 1854, these two daughters emigrated prior to their parents. The two male children listed on the 1854 emigration list were Wilhelm-7, and Jacob-infant. According to information from Stiefel descendants in Iowa, Jacob and Wilhelm listed on the 1854 emigration record were sons of Catharina Stiefel. An extract from the minutes to the Derdingen, Germany Town Council dated May 29,1854, recorded these children as the illegitimate children of Catharina. These minutes recorded the birth dates as-Jacob born March 3, 1846 and Wilhelm born July 27, 1853. After emigrating in 1854, Catharina married Michael Hiller in 1858. It is probable that these two children lived with Michael and Catharina after their marriage. Another son, Johann Jacob, was also not on the 1854 emigration list with his parents. He emigrated prior to 1854 as church records listed his marriage in 1849 in Philadelphia, Pa. This genealogy begins with the emigrant, Johann Jacob Stiefel. He is listed as entry number 1 on the genealogy report, Descendants of Johann Jacob Stiefel, located at the end of this chapter beginning on page 259.

236

THE FIRST GENERA TIO N ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

1. Johann J acob Stief el Jacob Stiefel
Johann was born on May 8, 1798, in Unterderdingen, in the parish of Derdingen, Oberamt Maulbronn, Wuerttemberg, Germany. Unterderdingen is located about 30 miles northwest of Stuttgart (the Groezingers/Gretzingers were from Reutlingen, which is about 20 miles south of Stuttgart). On Wednesday, January 24, 1821, at the age of 23 he married Catharine Margaretha Weiser eisert t. She was born on Sunday, January 15, 1802, in Unterderdingen and was the daughter of Johann Weiser t and Eva Lan g. She was 19 years old when they married. The marriage took place in eisert Lang Unterderdingen, Germany. Johann Jacob and Catharine had twelve children, nine of whom survived to adulthood. In 1854 at the age of 56, Johann Jacob, his wife, five of his daughters and two grandsons immigrated to America. As noted above, they left from Harve, France and arrived in New York on August 18, 1854. They family settled in Springfield Township, Bucks County, Pa. John Jacob and his wife, Catharine, became members of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zion Hill, Springfield Township, Bucks Co., Pa. Both Jacob and Catharine were listed as communicants at the church in 1857. A daughter, Elizabeth, was listed as a communicant on May 30, 1856. Their children, Christian and Jacob, Jr., were recorded as communicants on Nov. 11, 1857. Caroline and Catherine were communicants on April 1, 1858 and Jacobina (aka Benah) and Christiana on April 2, 1859. Johanna (Hannah) was recorded as a communicant with her husband, Lewis Gretzinger. The remaining child, Fredericka, was not listed. A photo (see below) of Johann Jacob and his wife was taken after their arrival in America. I estimate Johann to be 56 years old and Catharine to be 54. Johann Jacob died on Thursday, September 15, 1864, at the age of 66. He was buried in the cemetery behind the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zion Hill, Springfield Township, Bucks County, Pa. His wife, Catharine, died about two years later on Saturday, May 26, 1866. She was also buried in the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery. Their tombstones are in the fourth row of the cemetery directly behind the church.

THE SECO ND GENERA TIO N ECOND ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES
The second generation of the descendants of Johann Jacob Stiefel includes the twelve children, nine of whom survived to adulthood. Of the surviving nine children, there were two males and seven females. They are listed as entries 2 through 13 on the descendants report page 259.

Childr en of Johann J acob Stief el and Catharine Marg ar etha W eiser t Children Jacob Stiefel Margar aretha Weiser eisert 2. Elisabeth Stief el Stiefel
The first child, Elisabeth, was born on Friday, November 2, 1821, in Unterderdingen, Germany. She lived for only about ten years having passed away on Thursday, March 17, 1831. She died in Unterderdingen, Germany and was presumably buried there.

3. Stillbor n Stief el Stillborn Stiefel

The second child was born stillborn on Friday, October 17, 1823, in Unterderdingen, Germany. No other information is known about this child.

4. Catharina Stief el Stiefel

Catharina was born on Friday, November 5, 1824, in Unterderdingen. As noted in the introduction, she immigrated to America with her parents in 1854. She was 29 years old when she arrived in America. Two of the children, Jacob-age 7 and Wilhelm -an infant, who also immigrated with Catharina and her parents, were Catharinas illegitimate children. The father of these children is not known. Four years after arriving in America, Catharina married Michael Hiller on Tuesday, February 2, 1858. Rev. Kammerer conducted the marriage that took place in Richland Township, Bucks County, Pa. When they married, Catharina was 34 years old and Michael was 38. He was born on Saturday, April 8, 1820, in Wuerttemberg, Germany. It is probable that the two children, Jacob and Wilhelm, who immigrated with Catharina in 1854, lived with her and her husband after their marriage in 1858. However, Catharina and Michael had two children of their own, a boy and a girl. Michael attended at St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church, Richlandtown, Bucks County, Pa. between 1854 and 1864. Catharina communed there between 1859 and 1865. Sometime after 1865, the family moved to Zion Hill, Springfield Township, Bucks County, Pa. where they had a farm since Michaels occupation was recorded as farmer in the 1870 census. He died at the age of 70 on Friday, July 4, 1890, and was buried at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery, Zion Hill, Pa. After the death of her husband, Catharina posed for a photograph with her daughter, Catharine (aka Cassie) and her granddaughter, Laura. I estimate that the picture (see next page) was taken about 1895 when Catharina was 71 years old.

5. Johann J acob Stief el Jacob Stiefel

Johann Jacob was born on Tuesday, February 13, 1827, in Unterderdingen, Germany. He was confirmed in 1841 in Germany at the age of 14. Sometime between 1841 and 1849, Johann immigrated to America. In America, he married Fredricka Lan Lang Long) g (or Lon g) on Sunday, May 13, 1849, in St. Michael & Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, Philadelphia, Pa. When they married, Johann was 22 years old and Fredericka was 21. She was born on Sunday, January 20, 1828, in Wuerttemberg, Germany. Johann Jacob and Fredricka had seven children, five males and two females. It appears, however, that only one male and one female lived to adulthood. Johann Jacob lived at 2933 Cambridge St., Philadelphia, Pa., which was his sons, Jacob, residence at the time of his death. Johann Jacob died on Wednesday, May 3, 1899, in Philadelphia at the age of 72. His death notice invited the following organizations to his funeral: Humbolt Beneficial Society No. 1 and the Barbarosa Beneficial Society No. 1. It appears that Johann Jacob was a member of these societies. Johann Jacob was buried at the Glenwood Cemetery, 25th and Glenwood Ave. (Section K, Lot 186), Philadelphia, Pa. on Sunday, May 7, 1899. Buried in the same lot were his wife and four children. The cemetery, however, was moved to Broomall, Delaware County in 1938. The cemetery records note that Jacob and his family were re-interred on Tuesday, August 30, 1938, in Section K, Lot 159 of the Glenwood Cemetery in Broomall, 2321 West Chester Pike. Other family members buried in this plot were Fredricka ( Jacobs wife)-age 78, and four of Johann Jacobs children, Frank-age 15, George-19 months, Leona-age 3 years, and Charles-age 1 month. The Glenwood Cemetery records indicate that the owner of the Stiefel burial plot was Henry Kunzig. The cemetery administrator advised that Kunzig was a funeral director who owned a number of plots in the Philadelphia Glenwood Cemetery. 239

Also buried in Section K of the Glenwood Cemetery, Lot 230 was another Stiefel family. The family members in this lot were: Frederick-buried May 31, 1880, age 37; Emma-buried February 8, 1878, age 48; Emma-buried August 13, 1873, age 3 months; Anna-buried April 10, 1876, age 6 weeks; Ernst-buried September 1, 1878, age 5 years; Frederick-buried November 9, 1879, age 1 month; and Rosa-buried February 25, 1886, age 5 months. The owner of this lot was Michael Stiefel. A connection of this family to our Stiefel line has not been established. Johann Jacobs wife, Fredricka, died on Sunday, November 26, 1906, in Philadelphia Hospital, Philadelphia at the age of 78. Her death certificate noted that the cause of death was Nephritis (chronic inflammation of the kidney) and Congestion of the lungs. The contributing cause was recorded as Burns, accidentally received. Fredricka was buried on Wednesday, November 28, 1906, at the Glenwood Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pa. At the time of her death, she had been living at 2933 Cambridge Street, Philadelphia, Pa., her sons residence.

6. Christian Stief el Stiefel

Christian was born on Tuesday, March 31, 1829, in Unterderdingen, Germany. He survived only seven months and died on Sunday, October 18, 1829, in Unterderdingen, Germany.

7. Johanna Stief el Stiefel

Johanna was born on Wednesday, August 4, 1830, in Unterderdingen, Germany. Johanna (aka Hannah) immigrated to America in 1854 at the age of 22. In an extract from the minutes to the Town Council of Derdingen, Germany dated February 9, 1854, Johanna and her sister, Elizabeth, were recorded as planning to emigrate. Their father, Johann Jacob, was in agreement with his daughters intent and gave each of them 77 Gulden (or guilder, a former coin of Germany, worth about 60 cents today. 77 Gulden would be about $50 today) travel money, as well as the means for sustenance. The minutes also recorded that he and both of his daughters signed the immigration documents. After arriving in America, the Rev. William B. Kemmerer etzin ger (or Groezinger) married Johanna to Lewis Gr Gretzin etzing on Sunday, August 6, 1854, in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. When she married, Hannah was 24 years old and Lewis was 35. They had six children, two males and four females. Johannas husband, Lewis, died on Wednesday, May 11, 1904, at the age of 85. He was buried at the Union Cemetery, Trumbauersville, Pa. A photo (see insert) was taken of Johanna about 1895 when she would have been 60 years old.

Christian did not immigrate to the United States with his parents. It is believed that he immigrated prior to 1854. It is likely that he immigrated to America with his brother, Johann Jacob, between 1841 and 1849. After arriving in America, Christian married Maria Miller on Monday, October 3, 1859, in St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa. He and Maria had six children. His occupation was blacksmith.

In the 1900 Iowa census his occupation was listed as capitalist. It also noted that one of the six children had died. A photograph (see insert) of Christian and Maria was taken in the studio of C. O. Peick, Guttenberg, Iowa. I estimate that the photo was taken about 1895 when Christian was 63 years old and Maria was 55. Christian died at the age of 91 in Garber, Volga Township, Clayton County, Iowa on Thursday, April 26, 1923. Maria died at the age of 92 in Garnaville, Iowa on Saturday, August 6, 1932.

In the summer of 1999, I visited the Northwood Cemetery. My objective was to find the gravesite for Jacob and his family. I could not find the location so I called the caretaker. He led me to the lot but we could not find the grave marker. We did find a stone lying flat on the ground but it had no inscriptions. After digging around the edges, I found the inscription Jacob Stiefel. I took a photo of the stone that appears in the insert.

CHAPTER 8
Gr zin ger Ancestor s in Ger y Gr zing Ancestors German many man
Intr oduction Introduction
To establish the lineage of the emigrant, Ludwig (Lewis) Grzinger, I searched for a contact in Germany. On the Internet, I found the home page of the National Church Archives in Stuttgart. The archives had microfilms of church records for more than 1200 Protestant churches in Wuerttemberg dating from the late 1500s to 1875. They provided copies of these microfilms to the Church of the Latter Day Saints (LDS) in Utah. I arranged with the LDS church in Utah to send certain of these records to their Family History Center in Doylestown, Pa. I requested microfilm copies of the church records for Reutlingen. When viewing these microfilms, I discovered they covered the time period from 1633 to 1792. Since Lewis was born in 1819, I could not locate him in these records. I then wrote directly to the archives in Stuttgart requesting information about Ludwig and his family. I received a response (in German) from Dr. Hermann Ehmer, Director- National Church y Re gister s. His letter, loosely Archives, Stuttgart, Germany, which included a number of Famil amily Register gisters interpreted, indicated the following. For the date of birth provided, we could not find Ludwig Grzinger in the baptism records for Reutlingen. He was probably born outside of Reutlingen. However, in the family register of Reutlingen, there was an entry for Ludwig Grzinger, his parents and his brothers and sisters. A notice concerning his emigration was not found in the family register. We recommend that you contact the Staatsarchiv (City Archives) in Sigmaringen. Perhaps they can locate a reference about his emigration. I wrote to the archives in Sigmaringen. Their response advised that their emigration records did not begin until 1859 for Reutlingen. Also, their emigration index for Reutlingen existed only for the years 1827-1836. They had no records for 1848, the year Ludwig emigrated. They advised, however, that the Wuerttemberg Emigration Index, Volume IV (Salt Lake City 1988), included the name Grzinger from the district of Reutlingen.

Famil y Re gister s amily Register gisters

Famil y Re gister s were records maintained by the church in Germany. They contain a significant amily Register gisters amount of information that includes the names of the father and mother, their birth dates, their marriage date and their death dates. The register also lists the names of their children, their birth dates, confirmation or communion dates and their death dates. The names of the childrens grandparents also are recorded. Many times the occupation of the father and his place of residence also were recorded. y Re gister s I received from Dr. Ehmer were written in old German script, I had Because the Famil amily Register gisters these registers translated by a professional translator. An example of one of these registers in the

278

original German appears on page 286. The translated version appears on the next page, 287. y Re gister s provided by Dr. Ehmer, I summarized various From the copies of the Reutlingen Famil amily Register gisters genealogy information and compared it to the data I obtained from emigration and church records of the Christ Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville, Pa.

Comparison of Genealo gy Inf or mation Genealogy Infor ormation

Even though the above information is not an exact match in both records, I believe a reasonable y Re gister s I received argument can be made to establish that the Grzingers listed in the Famil amily Register gisters from the Stuttgart archives are my ancestors. My reasoning follows. First, the name Lewis (Ludwig) Grozinger is the same in two official documentsthe naturalizay Re gister from Reutlingen. Second, Lewis birth place recorded in the tion papers and the Famil amily Register Trumbauersville Christ Lutheran Church (this information was recorded in Lewis death notice and probably was provided verbally to the person writing the notice) is undoubtedly incorrect as no such town/city in Germany could be located. Also, the n in Rentling may have been a typo or misunderstanding as it should have been a u. And finally, it was common practice to drop the en from many German words, thus Reutlingen became Reutling. The date of birth is different by two days14th vs the 16th. The 14th was obtained from the y Re gister amily Register gister. It Trumbauersville Lutheran Church record and the 16th from the Reutlingen Famil was common practice in Germany at that time to register the birth of a child with the church sometime after birth. The church, however, would record the birth date as the date the infant was registered. I presume that Lewis parents registered his birth with the Lutheran Church in Reutlingen two days after he was borni.e. the 16th. His official birth date, however, was the 14th as recorded on his death notice.

279

Lewis mothers name in the Trumbauersville church record was recorded as Margaret Bl. Her y Re gister name was recorded as Christina Margareth Bhl in the Reutlingen Famil amily Register gister. The spelling of her last name (Bhl) was probably not understood when it was recorded as Bl in the Trumbauersville church record, particularly if it was provided verbally. It also appears that Lewis mother used her middle name, Margareth (or Margaret in English). Her given name was recorded as Margaret in the Trumbauersville church record. gister was three sisters and four brothers. HowThe number of siblings listed in the Famil amily Register y Re ever, only two sisters survived to adulthood. I believe, therefore, that the Christ Lutheran Church parish record listed only the two surviving sisters. The only difference listed above that I can not fully explain is the name of Lewis father. In the Trumbauersville church record, Lewis fathers first name was recorded as Charles. In the y Re gister Reutlingen Famil amily Register gister, his name was recorded as Johann Ludwig. Lewis grandfather, however, was Johann Karl, or John Charles in English. It was common practice in Germany at that time to have more than two given names. Thus, Lewis father also may have had a third given name, Karl or Charles, in memory of his grandfather. Since the information concerning Lewis parents was undoubtedly passed verbally to the recorder of Lewis death notice in the Trumbauersville church record, there could have been a problem in communication or a misunderstanding. Lewis had no other relatives from Reutlingen, Germany, living in the area around Trumbauersville when he died; thus, this information had to be passed verbally by other members of his family, e.g. his wife who also emigrated from Germany but not from Reutlingen. Also note that if Lewis was named after his father, then it is more likely that his father would have been Johann Ludwig rather than Charles. In addition, the y Re gister for a Karl (Charles) Grzinger who had a son Stuttgart archives did not locate a Famil amily Register Ludwig born in 1819. y Re gister s clearly shows that Lewis Finally, the genealogy recorded in the Reutlingen Famil amily Register gisters uncle was Johann Michael Christoph Grzinger. Inside the Gretzinger Family Bible that was in the possession of Lewis was an inscription written by Johann Michael Christoph Grzinger in 1825 (see Chapter 1, page 3). Undoubtedly, Johann gave this Bible to his nephew, Lewis, before he immigrated to America in 1848. On the basis of the above, I believe it is reasonable to assume that these Famil amily Register gisters y Re gister s from Reutlingen identified my ancestor, Ludwig Grzinger, who emigrated from Reutlingen, Germany, in 1848. In addition, these registers identified Ludwigs father as Johann Ludwig Grzinger. Lewis grandfather was identified as Johann Karl Grzinger, his great-grandfather as Ludwig Grzinger and his 2nd great-grandfather as Karl Grzinger. This genealogy begins with Karl Grzinger. To avoid the use of the German umlaut, it was common practice in America to drop the umlaut over the letter o and follow it with an e. I have elected to use the American version of the surname, that is Groezinger in this genealogy. The genealogy report, Descendants of Karl Groezinger, begins on page 288.

Ludwig was born on December 13, 1733, in or near Reutlingen, Germany. The Family Register from Reutlingen included the name Mich (probably for Michael) above Ludwigs name. Michael y Re gister from the National may have been a second given name for Ludwig. A copy of his Famil amily Register Church Archives appears on page 286.

The fourth generation in Germany includes nine ancestors, five males and four females, and they are listed as entries 16 through 24 on the genealogy report, page 288. They include my 3rd great-grandfather, Johann Ludwig Groezinger, entry 16.

Johann Ludwig was born on July 20, 1789. On Monday, June 3, 1822, at the age of 33, he y Re gister from Reutlingen. She was married Christina Margareth Buehl, according to the Famil amily Register 282

32 when they married. Her date of birth was March 11, 1790, and she was the daughter of ug Philip Buehl and Maria Kr Krug ug. Note that Johann Ludwigs grandfather, Ludwig, married Anna ug . It is very probable that these Kr ugs were related. Fassnacht whose mother was also a Kr Krug ug. Krugs As noted above, the church records from Germany recorded the marriage in 1822. That date however, was after the birth of the first three children born to Johann Ludwig and Christiana. In fact, the records included a notation out of wedlock. Reports of illegitimate births were quite common in 19th century documents, but often it was just a matter of who was interpreting the data. The church often did not recognize civil marriages, and many times church marriages were not recognized by the civil authorities. Because of Johann Ludwigs age (33) when he married Christina as recorded in the church register, it is very likely that they were married by a civil ceremony around the time their first child was born in 1814. In 1814, Johann Ludwig would have been 25 years old and Christina would have been 24. These ages were more typical of the marrying age in the 19th century. Johann Ludwig and his wife, Christina, had eight children, five males and three females. As noted above, three were born prior to the marriage date, June 3, 1822, recorded in the church register. One of the children born prior to 1822 was Ludwig, born January 16, 1819, as recorded in the family register. Ludwig, or Lewis, was my 2nd great-grandfather, and he was the ancestor who immigrated to America. He was the only male from this family who survived adulthood. It appears, however, that two of his sisters survived to adulthood. On Monday, May 16, 1864, Johann Ludwig died. He was 76 years old and died 17 years after his son, Ludwig, immigrated to the United States. The following year on Tuesday, November 21, 1865, Johann Ludwigs wife, Christina died. She was 75.

Johann Michael was born on Wednesday, October 26, 1803. He was an uncle to Ludwig Groezingerthe ancestor who immigrated in 1848. It is not known if he married. In 1825 at the age of 22, Johann Michael wrote an inscription in the family Bible. A copy of the inscription is shown on page 3, Chapter 1. As noted in Chapter 1, the Bible was given to Ludwig before he immigrated. It is now in the possession of Ludwigs great-grandson, Glenn George of Doylestown, Pa. Inside the Bible was a handwritten document that, as explained in Chapter 1, was an eulogy that Johann Michael wrote to his mother, Anna Barbara Wernang, who died in 1835. The translated version of the eulogy appears on page 4.

Johann Michael died four years after his nephew, Ludwig, immigrated. The date of his death was Friday, August 20, 1852. He was 49 years old when he passed away.

Louisa was born on Thursday, February 5, 1829. She was baptized on Tuesday, October 18, y Re gister 1842. Her date of death was not recorded in the Famil amily Register gister. I believe she survived to adulthood since the parish record at Christ Church in Trumbauersville, Pa. recorded that Ludwig (Lewis) had two sisters when he died in 1904. One of these sisters would be Louisa. There is also a possibility that Louisa immigrated to America. In the series, Germans to America,

She arrived in Baltimore from Bremen on May 1, 1851, on the ship Adolphine. Louisas birth year from the Reutlingen Church archives was given as 1829. Her age in 1851 would be 22. This emigrant could have been Lewis sister. There is also an entry in Germans to America, Vol. 5, page 206, that lists a Louise Grzinger, age 24, arriving in New York on July 15, 1853, from Antwerp on the ship Lawrence. Based on Louisas birth year, she would have been 24 in 1853. Again, this emigrant could be Lewis sister. She could have returned to Germany in 1852 and then returned to America in 1853.

CHAPTER 9
Fries Rebellion
(The Gretzinger Connection)
Intr oduction Introduction
As a boy growing up in Trumbauersville and attending the public school there, I never recall studying or hearing about the Fries Rebellion. Some of the initial and important events that led up to this rebellion took place in and around my hometown. In addition, some of the people involved in the rebellion lived in Trumbauersville, and a few were connected to my family line. This brief account of the Fries Rebellion was taken from the Bicentennial Issue of The History of Trumbauersville, published in 1976, and from the Fries Rebellion 1798-1799, published by William W. H. Davis in 1889. I have used these sources to weave together the circumstances leading to the rebellion and tied them to Trumbauersville and my family line wherever possible.

The F ir st Federal Dir ect T ax-Enacted Jul y 14, 1798 Fir irst Direct Tax-Enacted July
In 1798, news of the French revolution reached the United States. Our government learned that American ships were being seized by the French Navy. Since America had no Army and no Navy to speak of, Congress was alarmed and needed money for arms. Consequently, Congress adopted, on July 14, 1798, a direct tax on citizens property to raise money for the defense of our country. President John Adams immediately signed the tax bill into law. This was the first direct tax to be imposed by the Federal Government of the US. Assessors were appointed to determine the size and kind of house (log or stone), number and size of windows, size and type of other buildings and the amount of land owned by each citizen. It was the section of the law that called for listing the number and size of windows that upset the people of Milford and neighboring townships. One of the citizens of Milford Township who was particularly upset was John Fries. John Fries was born in Hatfield Township, Montgomery County about 1750. At age 20 he married Margaret Brunner, daughter of David Brunner of Whitemarsh, Montgomery County, Pa. John was a member of the Montgomery County Militia and in 1778 commanded a company in the action at Crooked Billet, the nickname for Hatboro, Montgomery County. The nickname was from a crooked stick of wood painted on a sign that hung at a door on a tavern in Montgomery Countprobably in Hatboro.

In 1794, John purchased 13 acres of land in what is now Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. The tract of land was near the former Benners Schoolhouse about one mile south of Trumbauersville. Here he built a single story log house and moved there with his wife and two children. Eight additional children were born over the next eight years. One of those children was Daniel who was born in May 1782. When William Davis was writing his account of the Fries Rebellion, he interviewed Daniel who was then in his 80s. When news of the property tax reached Milford Township, the citizens of the township called a meeting for February 8, 1799. The meeting was held at the public house of John Klein on the Trumbauersville-Geryville road. John Fries attended this meeting. After a lengthy discussion of the new law, he and George Mitchell drew up a resolution that requested the assessors not to come to Milford until the people were informed that the law was really in force. They appointed the captain of the local Militia to serve a copy of the resolution to the assessors. After receiving the resolution, the principal assessor, James Chapman, a Quaker from Richland Township, called a meeting to explain the law. He asked George Mitchell to hold the meeting in late February at his tavern. Mitchells Tavern was located on upper North Main Street in Trumbauersville. The tavern dates to 1794 when George Mitchell received his Tavern License. It subsequently was called the Trumbauersville Hotel. The meeting at Mitchells Tavern drew a large crowd. John Fries, however, did not attend. One of Chapmans assistants, Israel Roberts, attempted to read the law but was drowned out by the crowd. Conrad Marks, owner of the Geryville Hotel, said Congress had no right to make such a law and that he would never submit to have his house taxed. In addition, about 12 men in uniform with muskets and a flag with Liberty on it approached Israel Roberts and said to him, We dont want any of your damned laws...

Tr umbauer sville Hotel Trumbauer umbauersville circa 1900

On his way home from the meeting, James Chapman stopped at the public house owned by Jacob Fries (the relationship between Jacob and John Fries has not been established). It was called the Spread Eagle Tavern, later the Colonial Inn, at the intersection of Broad and Main Streets, Trumbauersville. At the Tavern, Chapman met another of his assistant assessors, Samuel Clark, who fearing for his life resigned his commission.
Colonial Inn

circa 1920s The Colonial Inn tavern was licensed in 1752 to Elisha Parker and has been in continuous operation to the present time. As a boy in the 1947-1951 time period, I would wait for the school bus in front of the Colonial Inn. At the time, I had no idea of the historical significance of what had taken place in this old tavern.

The Gr etzin ger Connection Gretzin etzing

Chapman decided to proceed with the assessments and on March 9, 1799, he sent two assistants, Foulke and Childs, to Trumbauersville with orders to start the assessments. The first house visited by the assessors was that of Daniel Weidner eidner. Daniel Weidner was born in 1765. He married Adelheit Huber about 1785. She was the daughter of Heinrich (Henry) Huber and Anna Naef Naef. Henry was one of three Huber brothers who immigrated to America in 1747 (see Chapter 5, page 163). A genealogy report, Descendants of Heinrich (Henry) Huber, has been included at the end of this chapter, beginning on page 298. Henry (entry number 1 in the report, page 298) was my 5th great-granduncle, making his daughter, Adelheit (entry 8), my 1st cousin, six times removed and Daniel Weidner (also see entry 8) the husband of my 1st cousin, six times removed. Daniel Weidners great-grandson, Charles H. Weidner (entry 58, page 301) married my greatetzin ger etzin ger , grandaunt, Caroline S. Gr Gretzin etzing er, on Nov. 18, 1883. Carolines father was Henry S. Gr Gretzin etzing er, my great-grandfather. Daniel Weidners house was located at the west end of Trumbauersville, believed to be the house at 301 North Main Street. At first, Mr. Weidner would not give the assessors any information about his property. Childs reasoned with him pointing out that he was opposing the law. Daniel finally relented and allowed Childs and Foulke to assess his property. Childs and Foulke completed several other assessments and proceeded to the Spread Eagle Tavern (later known as the Colonial Inn) for their noon meal. There they met James Chapman. As they were eating, John Fries walked into the Tavern and warned them not to proceed with any more assessments or they would by hurt. He left without waiting for a reply. After much discussion, the assessors decided to continue with the assessments. The next morning, the Milford Militia gathered at Hubers Mill on Swamp Creek a few miles north of Trumbauersville. In his account of the Fries Rebellion, author William Davis noted that Jacob Huber (aka John Jacob Huber) owned the mill on Swamp Creek. He also recorded that one of Jacobs brothers was Henry. Their mother was named Ann, who was born in 1722 and died in 1775 and was buried at the Trumbauersville church. My research has confirmed that the mother of Jacob ( John Jacob) and Henry was Anna Naef, born July 18, 1723, and died October 24, 1775 (see entry 1, page 298). Annas husband was Heinrich (Henry) Huber. As noted above, Heinrich was one of the three Huber brothers who immigrated to America in 1747. As recorded in the History of Trumbauersville, Henry Huber (entry 1 on the report, page 298) purchased on July 10, 1758, from John and Mary Edwards 30 acres of land situated about onehalf mile west of the present Trumbauersville borough limits. Four years later he bought another 118 acres from a Mr. Edwards. In 1770, he bought 20 acres from his neighbor, Theobald Braugler. On Feb. 23, 1776, Henry received a loan of 50 pounds from the Continental Congress to construct a powder mill on Swamp Creek. He also was chosen Captain of the Milford Militia and served from 1775 to 1780. He operated a sawmill in 1781 and applied for a tavern license in 1784.

293

He and his wife, Anna, had at least two sons and five daughters. The two sons, Henry, Jr. (entry 4, page 298), and John Jacob (entry 5), obtained 177 acres of vacant land between their fathers original 30 acre tract and his other 20 acre tract. When Henry, Sr. died in 1798, the two sons inherited the 118 acre tract originally purchased from Mr. Edwards. The following year, 1799, Henry, Jr. and John Jacob, sold this tract to Daniel Weidner (see entry 8), their brother-in-law. About this time, Henry, who had married to Mary Magdalena Shull (or Scholl), moved to Philadelphia and operated a store. Jacob married Elisabeth Samsel and was a miller on Swamp Creek. The mill was in later years operated by Henry Engleman until 1889 when it was destroyed by fire. As a young boy, I recall many summer days when we swam in the creek on Englemans property.

Militia Actions
As noted above, the Militia met at John Jacob Hubers mill. Under the command of Captain Valentine Kuder, son of John Peter Kuder, they marched to the Spread Eagle Tavern and then on the Quakertown to wait for the assessors. They were not all in uniform but were armed with guns and clubs and led by fife and drum. They were about 100 strong. When the Militia saw the assessors, they ordered them to stop. They surrounded Mr. Foulke and ordered him into Enoch Roberts Tavern (later the Red Lion Hotel in Quakertown). Here Foulke met John Fries who demanded to see his papers. Fries found no evidence of assessments on Foulke and dismissed him. Fries then went to Squire Griffiths house on the edge of town where he learned the other assessor, Childs, had stopped. Fries told Childs to accompany him to the tavern, which he did. At the tavern, Fries denounced the tax, the government, the Congress and the President. He told Childs to go home and never come back to assess in Milford or he would be shot. The assessors made no further attempts to assess in Milford.

Reaction in Upper Milf or d To wnship , Nor thampton County Milfor ord Township wnship, Northampton
In Upper Milford Twp. (at that time in Northampton County, now Lehigh County), the assessors also were told they would not be permitted to make any assessments. The assessors appealed to Judge Henry of Northampton County who decided to bring the matter before Federal authorities. Warrants were issued for the arrest of a number of residents in Northampton County. The U.S. Marshall, Colonel Nichols, who had his headquarters in the Sun Inn, Bethlehem, arrested about 17 men on March 6, 1799. The prisoners were confined within the Inn. The arrest and confinement of these men were considered by many an act of tyranny and oppression on part of the government. Sentiment against it grew to such an extent that a company of Militia and a company of lighthorse from Macungie and Emmaus was organized to make an effort to rescue the prisoners.

Reaction in Milf or d To wnship , Buc ks County Milfor ord Township wnship, Bucks
News that the Northampton people were organizing to rescue the prisoners reached the insurgents from Milford Township in Bucks County. They met at the Spread Eagle Tavern and drew up a paper stating that the signers were agreed to march for the purpose of rescuing the prisoners taken in Northampton County. They planned to meet at the Geryville Hotel the next morning

and march to Macungie to meet up with the Militia from Northampton. Early the next morning, the Milford Militia left and when they reached present day Shimerville they learned that the prisoners were now in Bethlehem. They decided to continue to Bethlehem. When they reached the wooden bridge that had recently been put across the Lehigh River, they found that the Northampton group had not yet crossed it. At this point, John Fries took command and marched his company across the bridge and up to the Sun Inn. The two Northampton companies were right behind him when he got to the Inn. Two representatives were chosen to talk to the U.S. Marshall. The representative from Milford was John Fries and from Northampton was Henry Hoover. After meeting with the Marshall, they reported to their Militias that the Marshall would not release the prisoners unless they were rescued by force of arms. Fries and his men entered the Inn and demanded the prisoners. The Marshall warned Fries of the grave consequences of their actions, but decided to release the prisoners. He did and within ten minutes there was no sign of any insurgent in Bethlehem. The federal authorities, however, referred to the incident as an act of treason. President John Adams called his cabinet together and issued a proclamation authorizing military force to suppress the actions of the insurgents. The proclamation was signed in Philadelphia by the president on March 12, 1799.

Federal Tr oops Called In Troops

By Thursday, April 4, 1799, 500 U.S. Army troops under the command of General Macpherson were assembled in Bucks County. The state of Pennsylvania called out 10,000 men to assist the army. The U.S. Army troops quartered at the tavern in Spring House and farmhouses in the area on the night of April 4. The village of Spring House was on the old Bethlehem Pike in Gywnedd Township, Montgomery County, twenty miles north of Philadelphia. The tavern was licensed about 1735. Of interest, I currently live in the village of Spring House, not more than three miles from the Spring House Tavern. Over the years, my wife and I have been to dinner at the tavern, which is still in operation today. The next morning, several companies of Calvary resumed the march up the old Bethlehem Pike for Sellers Tavern in Sellersville, Rockhill Township, Bucks County, where General Macpherson established his headquarters. Sellers Tavern was built by Samuel Sellers and opened for business about 1780. The original tavern was a small stone square structure, two stories and an attic. Over the years, the tavern had several owners, each making some alterations. Davis account of the Fries Rebellion included a sketch of the Sellers Tavern. A picture appears on the next page. The sketch must be from a time period after the original construction as it is no longer a stone square structure. The North Pennsylvania Railroad established tracks through Sellersville in 1856. The tavern was purchased by the railroad, which later added a beautiful forty-foot bar, six-story tower and cupola. A picture of that structure appears on page 148.

Seller sT aver n, circa 1800 Sellers Ta ern,

Judge Peters arrived at the headquarters in Sellers Tavern about 11 AM on Saturday, April 6, 1799, to bind over any persons arrested. The first object of capture was John Fries. David Penrose, a resident of Bunker Hill, a village on the new Bethlehem Road between Richland and Rockhill Townships, informed General Macpherson that John Fries, who was an auctioneer, would be at Bunker Hill, about one mile below Rich Hill that day, April 6. General Macpherson dispatched four companies of cavalry, guided by David Penrose. As the troops approached Bunker Hill, John Fries, who was in the middle of an auction, saw the soldiers on their horses. He escaped along with his little black dog, Whisky, at his side.

The cavalry organized a large pursuit party and set out after him. Fries had concealed himself in a thick briar patch on the farm of John Kachline, half a mile from Bunker Hill. As the soldiers approached, Whisky sensed danger. Fries attempted to hold the small dogs jaws together with one hand and to hold him with the other hand. The dog, however, broke free and went for the nearest soldier. The jig was up. Fries offered no resistance and was taken to Sellers Tavern where he was arraigned by Judge Peters. Fries was held at Sellers Tavern until he could be taken to the prison in Philadelphia.

T he Trials and Sentencin g Sentencing

Trial was set for May 1, 1799, in the Circuit Court in Philadelphia. After nine days of testimony, Fries was found guilty. Counsel for Fries, however, asked for a new trial because one of the jurymen had declared prejudice against the prisoner. The request was granted and a new trial was scheduled for Thursday, April 24, 1800, in Norristown. Fries counsel, however, withdrew from the case claiming the Judges proceedings were illegal and unprecedented. The Judge asked Fries if he wished to be represented but he declined. The result of the second trial was the same guilty. The court met on Friday, May 2, 1800, to sentence the prisoner. Judge Chase addressed Fries and ordered that he be hanged by the neck until dead. The hanging was set for Friday, May 23, 1800.

296

T he Appeal
Three Philadelphia ministers, Rev J. H. C. Helmuth of the Lutheran Church, Rev. Asbel Green of the Presbyterian Church, and Bishop White of the Episcopal Church, requested an audience with President Adams. They met with the president to plead for leniency for the prisoners (two other insurgents from Milford Township, Frederick Heany and George Gettman, also were sentenced to hang). President Adams reviewed the court case and a study of the report by Fries lawyers for their reasons for withdrawing from the case. On May 2, 1800, he informed Rev. Helmuth that the prisoners would not be hanged. Two days later, the president pardoned all persons involved in the insurrection. John Fries returned to his home in Milford Township where he spent the rest of his life. He died in early 1818 at the age of about 68. He was reported to be buried in the old graveyard at Christ Church in Trumbauersville, but a stone marking his final resting place could not be located.

The Le vi/Le vy Connection Levi/Le vi/Levy
Intr oduction Introduction
The marriage of my great-grandfather, Henry S. Gretzinger, to Ellamanda A. Hoff established the Gretzinger connection to the Levi/Levy family. Ellamanda was the daughter of Carey Hoff and Mary Levy (see page 76 entry number 4). I knew very little about the Levy family even though I had been a childhood friend with Paul E. Levy. Paul lived in my hometown of Trumbauersville, and we attended the local grade school. I later discovered that Paul was my 3rd cousin, once removed. In 1996, I mentioned to Paul that I was researching my family history and was interested in the Levy line. He said his family had done some research and he provided me with copies of their genealogy charts that traced the Levy line to David Levy (Levi), who I believe, was the emigrant. I used those charts and expanded them with my research to develop the descendants of David Levi/Levy. A copy of my descendants report of David Levy begins on page 315. The following narrative begins with David Levy, my 5th great-grandfather, and concludes with the Levy connection to the Gretzinger family line. The reader is referred to the genealogy report for the remainder of the Levy descendants.

THE FIRST GENERA TIO N ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

1. Da vid Le vy David Levy
The Levy genealogy charts recorded Davids birth as July 9, 1728. It is believed he was born in Germany and immigrated as a single man at the age of about 30 prior to 1760. To verify Davids immigration, I researched a number of records and uncovered two immigration records for a David Levi. The first record was noted in the book, Bonded Passengers to America, by Peter W. Coldham, published in 1983 by the Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, MD. On page 92 there is an entry for an emigrant, David Levi, who arrived in America in 1756. The second record was from a publication by Edward W. Hocker, Genealogical Data Relating to the German Settlers of Pennsylvania and Adjacent Territory, published by the Baltimore Genealogical Publishing Co., 1981 and reprinted in 1989. On page 242, there is a listing for a David Levi immigrating in 1759 and arriving in Pennsylvania. We know from the parish records of the New Goshenhoppen Church located in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pa. that David Levi was in Pennsylvania in 1759, since he was

303

baptized in this church on April 20, 1759, by the Rev. George Michael Weiss. A record of the conversion was recorded on page 23 of the church records. The baptism record also stated that David converted from Judaism to Christianity. At the time of his conversion, David spelled his surname as Levi. Two years after his baptism, he married Margaretha Eshbaugh on September 7, 1761, in New Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pa. She was the daughter of John Eshbaugh and Maria Antes . David and Margaretha had nine children, five daughters and four sons. Antes. Local tax records recorded that David was a farmer. In the records for 1781, his property was valued at 410 (pounds) and his tax was 8 (pounds), 4 (shillings) and 0 (pence). In 1782 his property was valued at 410 (pounds) and his tax 3 pounds, 10 shillings and 8 pence. The 1783 tax records noted that Davids farm had 214 acres and three horses, four cattle and six sheep. It also noted that he had no slaves. Using a conservative currency conversion factor of $1.00 U.S. to a pound, Davids property would have been valued at $410 in 1781. Today, his property would be valued at almost $800,000. David and his wife had nine children, four males and five females. The last child was born in 1778 when David was 50 years of age. David died on March 9, 1784, at the age of 56. He died in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pa. and was buried at the New Goshenhoppen Cemetery. Rev. Frederick Delliker conducted the burial service. David was my 5th great-grandfather. Margaretha, Davids wife, lived for at least another 24 years. She died sometime after 1808 in New Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pa. It is not know where she was buried.

CHAPTER 11
The W eidner Connection Weidner
Intr oduction Introduction
The marriage of my great-grandaunt, Caroline S. Gretzinger, to Charles H. Weidner established the Gretzinger connection to the Weidner family. This marriage is also listed in Chapter 2, page 32. Another family connection resulted with the marriage of Daniel Weidner to Adelheit Huber. Adelheit was my 1st cousin, six times removed. This marriage is also listed in Chapter 9, page 298. Prior to my research of the Weidner family, I was unaware of these connections to the Weidners. I also was interested in the Weidner family because of their involvement in the Fries Rebellion. Chapter 9, beginning on page 291, includes a brief discussion of the Weidners role in the Fries Rebellion. The genealogy of the Weidner family begins with the immigrant, John Henry Weidner. He is listed as entry 1 on the genealogy report beginning on page 346.

THE FIRST GENERA TIO N ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

1. John Henr yW eidner Henry Weidner
John was born in 1732 in Hamburg, Germany. Research by Margaret Anne (nee Hewitt) George (she is listed in entry 69 on the genealogy report, page 349) indicated that John left Hamburg on December 12, 1754, at the age of 19, on the ship Neptune commanded by William Mallone. However, if the birth date were correct, then John would have been 22 when he immigrated. This difference has not been resolved. According to the book, History of Trumbauersville-Bicentennial Issue, John Weidner purchased 100 acres of land in Milford Township just east of the present borough limits of Trumbauersville in 1756. In 1814, this land was valued at about $50 per acre, making this tract of land worth $5,000. Today, this land would be valued at about $500,000 (assumes an annual inflation rate of farmland of 2.5%). Some of the Weidner land was part of the Manor of Richland which William Penn had surveyed in 1703. About half of Penns land was originally sold to merchants in Philadelphia who resold it in smaller lots. John Weidner purchased his land from Herman Briel who purchased it from Charles Cress. Cress, in turn, had purchased this land from Samuel Morris. About 1764, John married Elisabeth (maiden name is unknown). They had ten children, four males and six females.

335

John Henry died in 1787 at the age of 55. His will, which was probated in 1788, named his wife and ten children as beneficiaries. Therefore, his wife, Elisabeth, died after 1788. The exact date is not known.

THE SECO ND GENERA TIO N ECOND ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES
The second generation of descendants includes the ten children of John and Elisabeth Weidner. They are listed as entries 2 through 11 on the genealogy report at the end of this chapter, page 346.

Childr en of John Henr yW eidner and Elisabeth (maiden name unkno wn) Children Henry Weidner unknown) 2. Daniel W eidner Weidner
Daniel was born in February 1765 in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. He married Adelheit , daughter of Heinrich Huber and Anna Naef . Adelheit was also born in (aka Edith) Huber Huber, Naef. Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. Daniel and his wife had ten children, six males and four females. As noted above, Daniel inherited about 100 acres of land from his father and he purchased an additional 100 acres. In 1813, Daniel died in Trumbauersville, Pa. at the age of 48. In his will he provided for his wife and children. His second eldest son, John, who received 100.6 acres of land, was to convey portions to his brother, David, and three of his sisters, Mary, Leah and Elizabeth. Daniels twin sons, Daniel, Jr. and Jacob, together received 70.5 acres. They were to convey portions to their three sisters Ann, Mary and Leah, and to their brother, Joseph. From each of the sons inheritances, Daniel provided a dower for his wife, Adelheit. (A dower is that part of a mans property that his wife inherits for life). Her dower amounted to $3, 866. Today, this dower would be equivalent to $2 million. Henrys portion of the estate, after the dower to his mother, was $1,924 (today it would equivalent to $1.2 million). Johns portion after the dower was $2,835 (in todays dollars, $1.7 million). Daniels and Jacobs portion after the dower was $2,585 (today it would equivalent to $1.6 million). It is interesting to speculate how Daniel was able to own such a sizeable tract of land. As noted, about half (100 acres) came from his father and the remainder he purchased. Little is known about the source of his funds, occupation or business. Daniels wife, Adelheit, lived for another 26 years after the death of her husband. She died on Wednesday, April 10, 1839, in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. at the age of 76. As noted earlier, Adelheit was my 1st cousin, six times removed.

THE THIRD GENERA TIO N ENERATIO TION IN THE UNITED STATES

s, entries The third generation of the descendants of John Henry Weidner includes ten Weidner eidners 12 through 21 on the genealogy report, beginning on page 346.

Childr en of Daniel W eidner and Adelheit Huber Children Weidner 12. Henr yW eidner Henry Weidner
Henry was born on April 12, 1788, in Trumbauersville, Pa. Rev. John W. Ingold baptized him on September 21, 1788, in Lower Milford (Trumbauers) Church, Bucks County, Pa. The sponsors were Henry Huber and Magdalena. In 1812, Henry was listed on the tax rolls as a single man living in Upper Saucon Township, Lehigh County, Pa. He was also listed as serving in the War of 1812. He relocated to Bucks County as the 1820 census listed him in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. ver ( About 1822, Henry married Catherine Wea eav (or Weber) born on October 5, 1785. They had two children, a son and a daughter. Catherines first marriage was to Daniel Berger. She had two children from her marriage to Daniel, Charles and Maria Berger. Charles and Maria Berger also were living in the Weidner household. However, on February 12, 1825, a petition was filed in the Bucks County Orphans Court requesting that Abraham Smith be appointed as Marias guardian and that John Berger of Lehigh County be appointed as Charles guardian. Charles was living in Upper Saucon Township at that time.

Catherine (nee W ea ver/W eber) W eidner , Wea eav er/Weber) Weidner eidner, circa 1830

In the 1840 census for Milford Township, the listing for Henry Weidner includes two other males, one age 15 to 20 and one aged 30 to 40. The male age 15 to 20 is his son, Henry Edwin Weidner, born on Sunday, February 23, 1823. The male age 30 to 40 is probably Charles Berger, Henrys stepson, as he was born in 1811 and would have been 30 at the time of the census. A female age 10 to 15 also was listed. She was Henrys daughter but her given name is unknown.

337

Henrys wife, Catharine, died on Thursday, October 7, 1858, at the age of 73. Henry died five years later on Wednesday, November 4, 1863, in Trumbauersville, Pa. at the age of 75. He was buried at Christ Union Cemetery, Trumbauersville, Pa. on Sunday, November 8, 1863. Since he was a veteran of the War of 1812, his grave has a Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) marker. Henrys will directed that his real estate be sold and that the interest be paid annually to his son, Henry Edwin Weidner. The Executors for Henrys estate were his stepson, Charles Berger, and his stepson-in-law, George Steinman.

CHAPTER 12
A Brief Histor y of Wr History Wrttemberg ttemberg
The Be ginnin g Beginnin ginning
Prior to the first century BC, Celts (or Celtic-speaking people) were in possession of the land now known as Wrttemberg. During the first century BC, Germans poured into this area from the north and Romans from the south. The Romans gained the upper hand and occupied Wrttemberg until the 4th century AD when the Alamans, or Swabians (a branch of the German Franks), drove them out. About the same time, Angles and Saxons invaded England and found settlements with names ending in ing and ingham. The ing signifies son of or family. For example, Bastings is the settlement named for the Bas family. Numerous settlements with names ending in ingen are found in Wrttemberg, Baden and Bavaria. Some historians believe that it is probable that the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England and the Alamans who migrated to this part of Germany were of the same stock. By the early middle ages, Germany was part of the Holy Roman Empire. The country was ruled by princes, dukes and counts appointed by the Holy Roman Empire. At the time, Wrttemberg was part of Swabia. A local dynasty of counts, the Wirtembergs (Wrttembergs), were firmly established in the region by the late 11th century. By the mid 1300s, they began to extend their control over large sections of Swabia. As the power of the Holy Roman Empire faded, the Wirtembergs began to exert more independence. Wrttemberg was made a duchy (territory ruled by a duke or duchess) in 1495. Duke Ulrich, who became a vassal of the House of Habsburg in 1534, introduced Lutheranism and confiscated church lands. His son, Duke Christopher (reigned 1550-1568) set up a centralized state church and became the leader of the German Protestantism. Duke Frederick, who reigned from 1593 to 1608, secured release from Habsburg overlordship and was the pillar of the Lutheran and Calvinist Princes (1608). Wrttemberg was devastated in the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) and fell prey to the French invasions from 1688 until 1693 during the War of the Grand Alliance. Yet the country enjoyed progressive government. For example, compulsory education was introduced in 1649. Duke Eberhard Louis (reigned 1693-1733) improved the duchys defenses and schools, built the celebrated Ludwigsburg Palace, and admitted Waldensian refugees from France. These French refugees introduced the textile and other industries into the duchy.

A Kin gdom Kingdom

Wrttemberg was made a kingdom in 1806 by Napoleon in his reorganization of Germany. He added a significant portion of land to the south of old Wrttemberg. The new land was known as new Wrttemberg. A map of old and new Wrttemberg is shown on the next page. Wrttemberg remained a kingdom until Napoleons downfall in 1815 when he was defeated at Waterloo by the Anglo-Prussian armies under the command of Prussian General Blcher and British General Wellington.

Old and Ne w Wr ttemberg New Wrttemberg

(source-National Geographic, October 1911)

Wrttemberg was divided into four kreises or counties, and each county into a number of oberants (districts). In a district there were 30 or 40 gemeindes (village communities). Along the right bank (or east bank) of the Nagold River in the oberant Herrenberg (shown in the upper right of the above map), there was fertile land devoted to farming (wheat, oats and roots). The local community government parceled out land for yearly tenancy to the farmers. It was customary for the same parcels to be given to the same farmer each year, and after a number of generations, individual ownership in the land became established. In the farming villages, lofty five and six story houses were built using massive wooden uprights and beams (similar to the steel structure in todays skyscrapers). Steep tiled roofs sloped over the upper two or three stories. The ground floor was used as a stable. The family occupied the next two floors. Heat from the animals on the first floor helped to warm the family in the winter months. The upper floors were used to store hay and grain.

Augsberg Peace of 1555

Wrttembergs population was about two million. Two-thirds were Protestant and one third Catholic. Small towns and villages were overwhelmingly Catholic or Protestant. Protestant villages were chiefly in old Wrttemberg and Catholic villages were mostly in new Wrttemberg. This was the result of the Reformation and Augsberg Peace of 1555. Under the terms of this settlement, if the ruler of the village was Catholic, his subjects were to be Catholic, or they were asked to relocate. The same was true for subjects in villages ruled by Protestants. Wrttemberg rulers were consistently Protestant, except for Duke Carl Alexander who, in 1750, proposed to introduce Catholicism into old Wrttemberg. The people, however, had no desire to change. The duke died suddenly thereafter, and after his death there was no further effort to change the religion of the people of Wrttemberg.

The Liberal Mo vement Mov

By the mid-1800s, a liberal nationalist movement was underway to unify Germany and to establish a federal constitution. King Frederick William IV of Prussia agreed in 1848 to establish an assembly in the city of Frankfurt that would draft a constitution. The liberals were demanding more individual freedom and liberty, trial by jury and the right of a free press and assembly. These liberal reform efforts, however, met opposition from the more conservative peasantry, Lutheran clergy, civil servants and large landowners. The opposition became so great that in November of 1848, King Frederick William IV dissolved the Frankfurt assembly and retained all executive authority in his (the Kings) hands. Most of Germany turned to the conservative right (and remained on that path until 1918 when the Weimar Republic was established). In the 1840s, a wave of immigrants left southern Germany for America. And Ludwig Grzinger was among them.
