12	They were married at the Advent Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, PA by Reverend Enoch Hooven Supplee. We do not know for sure how they met, but can speculate. Albert Cadwallader, then twenty-seven years old, was engaged in the grocery and provision business in Milton, Pennsylvania. During the Civil War he had served as an agent responsible for getting supplies to soldiers at the front. Two of Annie's uncles were businessmen in Philadelphia and J. Wesley Supplee was head of his own commission merchant firm and a bank president. Philadelphia was the logical supply source for a firm in Milton, and Albert Cadwallader probably had business connections with the Supplees.

26	Born in 1531, Henry Adams lived in one of the most momentous centuries of modern English	Henry ADAMS
27	Henry and his family lived in his native ancestral parish of Barton St. David until about 1621, when they then moved to the adjoining parish of Kingweston. Puritanism was rapidly developing in southern England during this time period, and thousands of Puritans were immigrating to New England. Also, Henry's sister-in-law (Ann's sister) had immigrated. For whatever reason, Henry (at age 55) and his family immigrated, and he was awarded land in Braintree, MA, where he lived out the rest of his days.	Henry ADAMS
28	As far as we know, John lived all his life in the small parish of Barton St. David, located about 6 miles southwest of Glastonbury in southwestern England. John and his ancestors were a race of sturdy yeoman, who lived for generations in Barton St. David and its vicinity, subsisting by cultivation of leasehold farms and the raising of sheep and cattle, and residing in simple, stone, thatched cottages.	John ADAMS
29	John was brought to New England by his parents in the Spring of 1638. He was apprenticed as a millwright until 1643. John moved to Concord, MA, where he acquired a house and land. He married Anne early in 1650, either in MA, or in England while there on business. Upon their return, he secured a home that was owned and occupied by 6 generations of the Adams family. It was located on the main highway from Cambridge to Concord, and was riddled with bullets fired by the British troops during their retreat from Concord in 1775.	John ADAMS
30	There are documents that show the surname Adams in Somersetshire Co., England many years before this John Adams birth, but proof of decendency can only be proven with this John, born between 1500 and 1505. He is named in the Muster Roll for the Tithing of Barton in 1539, and is credited with supplying a bow, (a tax). The tax list for 1542 and 1543 show an Alys (Alice) Adams, widow.	John ADAMS

34	BIOGRAPHY: They lived on the property known as Angeny's Mill, in Bedminster Twp., Bucks Co., until the spring of 1848, when they moved to New Columbia, Union Co., Pa.

35	OBITUARY: A SAD DEATH. During the terrible fire which occurred in Milton, Northumberland County, Pa., on the 14th of May, destroying a large portion of the town, as may be seen by an account given in another part of this paper, there was a sad affliction visited on the family of ABRAHAM ANGENY, an uncle of ours, formerly from Bucks county. On account of his age and feeble health, he was probably not able to get out of the way and perished in the flames. For the benefit of his many friends, who are readers of our paper, we will add an extract from a private letter to us from William Shields, a son-in-law and his wife Kate. "The fire began just at noon, and in less than three hours, the whole of the business portion of the town was in ashes. It began in the Car Shops, and a strong wind from the north swept the fire along with wonderful rapidity. It seemed sometimes to leap over a whole block. Not a single store was left in town. All the churches except two small ones were burned. The burnt district comprises about 120 acres. But the saddest part of all, to us at least, was that father lost his life in the flames. He was so terribly burned as to be almost beyond recognition. Had it not been for his crippled hand, and a single wristband of his shirt, we could not have identified him. Mother and Nerva (the youngest daughter), narrowly escaped without harm, by fleeing across the river. They saved nothing but Nerva's trunk and what clothing Bro. Hill (Seth) could carry. Everything was a total loss. Bro. Hatfield's (Reuben) were burned out, but saved most of their goods. We think father must have been bewildered, or choked with smoke and heat. We found him only a little distance from his home. We buried him the next day. His age was 77 years, 6 months and 18 days. How strangely and sadly the changes of life and death sometimes come over us. This aged couple had lived together in wedded life 52 years, and as cousin Kate further writes "his age and feebleness made us feel for several years past that he could not be with us long any more, but we little thought that his death would come to us in so sad a way. There is a verse of hymn that often comes to my mind; it is this: "We know not what's before us, What trials are to come; But each day passing o,er us Brings us still nearer home.," This is true, and that same kind Father, who has led us so kindly all through life's changing scenes, has promised to be to his children a very present help in time of need, and not to cast away those who put their trust in him; and he will also sustain these dear friends, in this sad hour of their affliction.	Abraham ANGENY
36	Abraham and Leah Fretz Angeny lived on property known as Angeny's Mill, in Bedminster Twp. (Bucks Co., PA) until the spring of 1848, when they moved to Union Co., PA., and later (1859) to Milton, Northumberland Co., PA, where Abraham perished in the great fire of Milton in 1880, in his 78th year. He was a carpenter and cabinet-maker by trade, and he and Leah were Mennonites. Leah was the daughter of Martin Fretz, of Hilltown. Source: A Brief History of Jacob Wismer, by Rev. A. J.

39	OBITUARY: GEHMAN - Barbara Gehman died on the 16th of Nov., 1905, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. P. J. Ernst, near Olathe, Kan., of paralysis. She was 74 Y., 2 M., 17 D. of age. Her maiden name was Angeny. She was married to Jacob Gehman, Oct. 2, 1849. To them were born twelve children; two have gone before to meet her in the better land and ten are left to mourn their loss. Funeral services at the Brethren church were conducted by Bro. J. H. Christ. Text, 1 Cor. 15:26, "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." Her last illness was very short. About six years ago she had a slight stroke of paralysis, from which she never fully recovered, and the shock caused by her husband's death a few days ago resulted in another stroke that caused her death. Little did the children think when father was laid to rest that in just two short weeks mother would also be called away, but she was ready to go, having often spoken of her desire to go to the beautiful land above. Her life was a continued devotion to the Master. She was converted to Christ when young and became a member of the Mennonite church. She brought up her children in the fear of the Lord. The memory of her beautiful Christian character will ever be an inspiration to them. She was a loving wife and mother, friend and neighbor. None knew her but to love her. That she was held in high esteem was shown by the large concourse of friends who were present at the last sad rites.	Barbara ANGENY

41	OBITUARY: On the 7th of October, of congestion of the lungs, Harry Raymond, son of the above Martin F. and Clara Angeny, aged 7 months. The dispensations of Providence sometimes seem as though they were too hard for us to bear, but if our trials are great, God will also give us grace to bear them, if we put our trust fully in him. They that mourn shall he comforted.	Harry Raymond ANGENY

45	OBITUARY: On the 13th of January, 1866, near Milton, Northumberland Co., Pa., Leah, daughter of Abraham and Leah Angeny (formerly of Bucks Co.), aged 28 years and 5 days. She had been sick with the measles, but apparently recovered, returned home from her sister's and immediately took sick again; suffering greatly for three days, when the spirit left its clayey tenement. During her sickness, she spoke of death frequently, and said, "I do not think I shall get well this time, but feel resigned to the will of God." On the morning before her death, her sister said to her, "I do not think you can live over today. Do you feel willing to die ?" She said, "Yes: death seems best;" then added, "But not my will be done, but thine, 0 Lord." A little while after another sister was standing by her bedside when she repeated the following lines: "Shall we know each other there in that beautiful land?" In three months, three new graves have been made, and three loved ones from the same household are sleeping there, but our Father knoweth best, and He doeth all things well.	Leah ANGENY
46	OBITUARY: On the 3rd of October, in Watsontown, Northumberland Co., Pa., of bilious-intermittent fever, Martin F. Angeny, in the 30th year of his age. He was sick nine weeks, and bore his afflictions very patiently. He hoped to get well until the morning of his death, and when he knew there was no more hope his recovery, he said very little, but seemed to be resigned to the will of God. His last message to his wife was, "Tell Clara to put her trust in God." He was taken away in the prime of life. We hope he is resting "safe at home."	Martin Fretz ANGENY
47	He was a Private - Civil War - Company E - 131st Regiment, P.V. under Captain Isaiah B. Davis. Dates of service - Aug 14 1862 to May 23 1863.	Martin Fretz ANGENY
