151 Biography: Daniel Redcay, Son of John, was born Feb. 1, 1812, and died June 1, 1890, and is buried at McEwensville, Pa. He came to Northumberland County in his young manhood, and settled at McEwensville, where in 1859 he built the home in which he resided until his death. He was a contractor and builder, and many of the houses and barns in that district were built by him. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, and in politics was a Democrat. He married Abby Kint, who was born at Brier Creek, Berks County, April 18, 1818, and died April 13, 1904, and is buried at McEwensville. Their children were: William and Christian, who both died young; Angeline, born Dec. 24, 1842, on the old homestead; Henry, born Feb. 4, 1845, living in Watsontown; Abraham; and Edward, born in 1861, living at Scranton. REDCAY, Daniel (I532)
 
152 Biography: He was one of five brothers who came to Berks County, PA, from the River Rhine in Germany, of whom three were generals and two captains. HILL, Johannes Jacob (I4511)
 
153 BIOGRAPHY: He worked at various things when he was young, but spent most of his life as a farmer. David married Etta Longshore, of Newtown, Bucks Co., PA. Etta was a schoolteacher and was teaching in Upper Providence when she met David. They had one daughter, Emma Longshore.

David and his family lived on the Upper Providence farm, where they occupied one side of the house and his parents the other side. Since his father, Edwin E. Worrell, was 69 years old when David married, it is probable that David operated the farm until it was sold in 1913. At that time, David bought a farm near Davisville in Bucks Co., PA, which was nearer to Etta's home, and moved his family there.

David sold the Davisville farm after World War II and bought a house and small tract of land in Richboro, which was nearer to where his daughter Emma lived. He died there on October 31, 1958 at the age of 85. His widow Etta then went to live with her daughter Emma in Newtown.

154 BIOGRAPHY: James Hooven was born on the 30th of March, 1808, in Chester County, and when a youth removed with his parents to Upper Merion township, where he became a pupil of the neighboring district school, but under the watchful care of his mother acquired a more thorough rudimentary education. He early cultivated a habit of study and reflection, was a skillful translator from the German and purposed devoting him to a literary career. Circumstances, however, influenced this termination and developed as successful a man of business as would otherwise have adorned the field of literature. At the age of fourteen he entered a country store located at King of Prussia, in the same township, and in 1830 embarked in business with a partner, remaining thus engaged for two years, when Norristown became his home. Here he formed a co-partnership with Dr. George W. Thomas, and was for seven years interested in mercantile ventures. The business of lime-burning next occupied his attention until 1846, when he sought a wider field of operation, and, in company with Mordecai R. Moore, erected a rolling-mill which still operates. In 1870 he extended his manufacturing interests by the erection of a blast furnace, and filter of a pipe-mill. In 1864 he was elected president of the First National Bank of Norristown, which office he still fills. He was also the first president of the Stony Creek Railroad. Mr. Hooven was, in 1833, married to Miss Emeline Henry, of Evansburg, Pa. He was a second time married, in 1874, to Helen Cushman, of Norristown. Mr. Hooven was formerly a Whig in his political predilections and subsequently became a Republican, though never in the arena of politics. He was among the earliest advocates of the doctrine of abolition, and the stanch protector and friend of the escaped slave, who found a safe abiding place under his hospitable roof. Mr. Hooven was a delegate to the National Republican Convention in 1860, and aided by his vote in the nomination of Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency. He is a supporter of and pew-holder in the Protestant Episcopal Church of Norristown, though exercising a kindly toleration toward all religious denominations.

155 Biography: James Shields, who was born in 1804, was a native of Ireland. He was reared in Buffalo Valley, attending first the local schools, later the academy at Mifflinburg, and then began an apprenticeship to the blacksmith's trade. An injury which crippled his arm caused that work to be abandoned, and after a course at Mifflinburg Academy he engaged in teaching. Having a natural talent for mechanics he later became a gunsmith, then a chairmaker, and finally a cabinetmaker, and he also followed wagonmaking successfully. In religion he was a Presbyterian, while politically he affiliated with the Republican party.

He was married in Union County to Miss Esther Lucas, who was born September 20, 1807, and died September 6, 1853; his own death occurred March 24, 1864. Of six children, four lived to adult age: (1) William (2) Mary Ann, who married John Irvin, and died February 2, 1892, leaving two children - Jennie G. and William L.; (3) Nancy E., born January 27, 1845, married R. Wesley Harris; and (4) Hannah C., born March 20, 1847, died single November 12, 1891.

157 Colonel John Kelly - Colonel Kelly died on the 18th of February, aged eighty-eight.
The following sketch of him is taken from an address made by James
Merrill, Esquire, on the 8th of April, 1835, when the monument,
purchased by his relatives, was put in position with public ceremony.
Colonel John Kelly was born in Lancaster county, in this State,
in February, 1744. After the purchase from the Indians of 1768,
and before the opening of the land office in 1769, he came to Buffalo
Valley, then a part of Berks county. Here he suffered all the
hardships and privations, which are inseparable upon the first settlement
of a new country. He was tall, about six feet two inches in
height, vigorous and muscular, with his body so inured to labor as
to be almost insensible to fatigue, and a mind so accustomed to dangers,
that dangers ceased to alarm. In the prime of manhood, and
in the vigor of health, with inteUigence to understand correct principles,
and with firmness to adhere to them, it may well be supposed
that he took a commanding position among his fellows. He was a
captain, and a major at twenty-seven years of age, and when his
country called on her sons to save her from the fangs of a tyrant,
he was ready. At the very darkest period of the revolutionary war,
when all was lost, but honor and hope, and when hope was almost
buried in despair, in the fall of 1776, he volunteered to assist in the
protection of New Jersey. He was present at Trenton, when the
Hessians surrendered, and assisted in that most masterly movement
on Princeton, by which the chain of communications of the enemy
was broken, all their plans deranged, and their army compelled to
return to New York and its neighborhorhood, and to leave New Jersey
free to avenge her wrongs. When we consider the depression of public
spirit, how public confidence in the final success of our cause was shaken
by the battle of Long Island, and the losses of Fort Washington and
Lee, with most of our military stores ; when we consider that at one time
the American army numbered less than two thousand men, we would

167 Edna Schultheiss: Anita Louise was born on November 3, 1931, in my parent’s home at 868 Hollywood St., Grand Rapids, Michigan. When I came home from school that day, they let me hold her. I was almost 10 years old, so she was like a little sister to me. A bed had been set up in the basement and they had put cement blocks under each leg of the bed; probably so that the doctor wouldn’t have to lean so far. This was strange to me. Anita’s father was Adam Fredericks, but I don’t remember seeing him there. SCHULTHEISS, Evelyn Emma (I206)

171 From Bell's History of Northumberland Co., 1891: B. K. HAAG, merchant, was born, January 9, 1817, in Berks county, Pennsylvania, and is a son of John and Mary C. (Knauss) Haag. His edu­cation was received in the subscription and common schools. At the age of twenty-one years he left his father's farm to begin a business life for him­self, his first employment being in the general mercantile store of Geddes, Green & Walls at McEwensville, this county, where he remained four years. Following this were four years' service as a clerk in a general store in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. In 1847 he came to Milton and formed a partnership with T. S. Mackey & Son, under the firm name of Mackey & Haag, dry goods and hardware. At the expiration of two years Mr. Haag withdrew from this connection and joined Montgomery Sweney, and for one year did a general dry goods and grocery business, under the firm title of Sweney & Haag. After one year's association with the concern of Haag & Caldwell, the stock was divided and Mr. Haag kept a store for a period on the present site of the Milton National Bank. In 1853 he established his present hardware and book store, which was conducted under the firm cognomen of Haag & Brown until the panic of 1857, which compelled Mr. Haag to assume all responsibility of the business, and since then he has been alone until joined by his son-in-law, John Buoy. In 1863 he purchased a lot south of his present hardware room, of Elizabeth Miller, and in 1865 erected buildings on the same. In 1875 his business block was burned, rebuilt, and again burned in 1880, and soon after rebuilt the second time. Besides this handsome brick block, he has constructed many dwellings in the town of Milton, including the Hotel Haag, which magnificent structure was erected in 1890 at a cost of over seventy-five thousand dollars, and opened up for business on April 1, 1890. Mr. Haag was married, February 20, 1852, to Sarah Schuck, daughter of Philip and Catharine (Diebert) Schuck. She was born July 19th, 1821 in Union county, Pennsylvania, and to her union with Mr. Haag have been born six children: William A., deceased; Mary E., the wife of John Buoy; Charles H., deceased; Sallie, deceased; Thomas J.; and Hettie, the wife of C. A. Chapin. Mr. Haag was postmaster while at McEwensville and also trustee of school funds at the same place.

He was a director of the National Bank of Milton from 1865 to 1875. HAAG, Benneville Knauss (I255)
 
172 From his sister Kathleen: Fred passed away in 1997; we just found out about it last month (January 2007). He was bipolar and alcoholic, and estranged from the family for many years - a case of a good-looking, very intelligent, creative individual who would not stay on his medication or take good care of himself, or stay in touch with his family. Nancy and I were saddened to find out he had died because it was such a waste of potential.

his work in establishing urban lay ministries, including some set by LaSalle Street
Church and through partnerships with other churches.These ministries include
the Center for Life Skills, the Cabrini Green Legal Aid clinic, LaSalle Young Life
Creative Learning Experience (CYCLE), LaSalle Senior Center, and a $12 million

175 From Ruth Chapin Hill:

ALAN LAURENCE HILL

I have few memories of Laurence. When I was small, he was either away at college or he was working during the summer, then he settled in Michigan. In other words, I saw little of him.

I have vague memories of his collie, Jiggs.

He used to say I was "goofy", so for years I called him Uncle Goofy.

As a very small child, Mother told me that he had given me my adored stuffed dog, Molleo.

Mother also told me that when a salesman came through selling to Dreifuss Bros., Laurence bought me one of the first snowsuits ever seen. It was wool and scratched, but it kept me warm when I was playing out in the snow.

During World War II, Ob (James Osborn Hill) was in the army serving in the Philippines. His second wife, Eleanor, came to Milton for a "visit" and then stayed on and on. She wasn't happy, complained, but still stayed. Laurence was visiting when Eleanor said she was going home. He took her to the station, the train came in. At the last minute Eleanor announced that she had changed her mind. Laurence put her suitcase aboard, then took Eleanor's arm and helped her to board. He said good-bye and walked away. She was gone.

In 1948 at our grandparents 50th wedding anniversary party, the table was set up as a large 'U'. The "bride and groom" were flanked by their seven children, then the grandchildren were seated down the arms ofthe 'U'. Since Ob seldom saw his daughter, Shirley, the seating was arranged so that he sat next to her. Eleanor threw a fit.

Evelyn, Laurence's wife, pointed out to Eleanor that all the in-laws were seated at a distance from their spouses. This was, after all, a party for the family. Evelyn told Eleanor to either sit down and keep quiet - or leave!

I met Anita for the first time that weekend. She and I served coffee/tea at the Open House the next afternoon.

I saw Laurence and Evelyn sporadically over the years.

For years I have been curious about where the names "Alan" and "Laurence" came from? The other siblings were named for someone. Anna Supplee was named for her grandmother. Seth Arthur was named for several Hill and Cadwallader relatives, but I have no idea where they got "Arthur". Austin Cadwallader was named for his mother's oldest brother. Harry Martin was named for his father. James Osborn was named for his mother's doctor. Bessie Louise was named for her father's sister and her mother. Where did "Alan Laurence" come from?

Laurence is the French spelling. I have assumed he was named for someone in the Supplee family. Or possibly a friend of the family. 
HILL, Alan Laurence (I87)
 
176 From Ruth Chapin Hill:

AUSTIN CADWALLADER HILL

I saw little of Oats (nickname) over the years. As a small child, he was never one of the teasing uncles. In fact I have few memories of him.

He attended, graduated from Ursinus College.

One thing I remember: he didn't like to be kissed. For years it was a challenge for me: catch him unawares, give him a kiss!

Nonetheless I thought of him as "my Oatie". That is until he married Virginia and she took over the phrase.

My mother and father attended Oats and Virginia's wedding. It was a civil ceremony. Virginia's parents sat behind my parents and Mother reported she heard Ginnie's mother whispering the Episcopal marriage ceremony under her breath.

Soon after their marriage they hitchhiked west. I have no idea how far they went, what they saw and did, I just heard that they had done it.

They had a rough time financially. Oats had poor health, seemed incapable of keeping a job.

During World War II he was drafted. When he went for his physical, the Army immediately put him in the hospital for tests. That is when they discovered he had diabetes.

After that he went to work for his brother, Seth, in the Woolworth store Seth managed at 10th Street and Broadway in New York City. Don't know how long he stayed with the job.

Oats had a hard time controlling his diabetes.

After his death they did an autopsy. From somewhere I heard that they had found some sort of non-normal connections in his digestive system which apparently was the reason he had difficulty controlling his diabetes.

I don't remember where or from whom I heard that. When I questioned Betty about it, she said she'd never heard it. Betty had selective memory at times, especially with me.

I always enjoyed Oats. He had a very sophisticated subtle sense of humor. I loved it.

Ginnie was the difficult one, as far as my parents were concerned. Eventually I developed the same opinion. But she apparently adored her "Oatie". 
HILL, Austin Cadwallader (I95)
 
177 From Ruth Chapin Hill: He lived at the SW corner of N Front Street and 5th Street. He was killed in action in WWII in 1945. He and Dick Ammerman were classmates. They both played sports, and when one was president of the class, the other was vice-president. Then they would change places. They were also in the school plays. Durrell was killed within two weeks of Dick, who was in the Navy and lost at sea in the Pacific. Milton mourned their passing. FRYMIRE, Durrell Sober (I9079)
 
178 From the Will Index of the Register's Office of Northumberland Co Pa at Sunbury Pa.: Estate of Mary Nesbit Cadwallader, will discloses that she gave music lessons, that her husband is still living, but she does not name and gives equally to her three sons, James Cameron, John Murray and Robt Irwin Cadwallader a long list of property given to her by her father when she got married and another list accumulated from her earnings. Dated Jan'y 23, 1878 Probated Sept 17, 1878. MURRAY, Mary Nesbit (I287)
 
179 From Wilma Schultheiss: She (Evelyn) bought a pair of roller skates at a neighborhood hardware store, and put them on Dad's charge account. He EXPLODED about that, when he found out!! Chances are it was when she was 16 or 17 yrs. of age.

The next section describes what life was like for Evelyn and her sisters when they were kids.

From Mildred Schultheiss: Edward and Claribell Schultheiss, were married in St. Louis, Michigan on June 20,1905. Their first child, Lillian, was born on September 15, 1907. Pop did carpentry work for a living. They moved to Flint when work got scarce, and I was born there on June 17, 1910. I understand that they lived on Detroit Street in Flint. My sister, Evelyn, was also born in the same place on March 4, 1912. Then they moved, sometime during the summer, to Owosso. First we lived on Stuart Street, and then moved a short distance to 702 Grand Avenue. Fred was born there on September 10, 1916. We moved back to St. Louis in the Winter of 1917. Pop rented the Bernard house on North Avenue. This was a huge house on the banks of the Pine River.  We thought it was a castle because it was so large, and it even had inside plumbing! We didn't stay there long, however, because Mama worried that we might get in the river and drown. So then we moved a couple of blocks further west on North Avenue. Wilma was born there on September 16, 1918.  Shortly after this, we moved to Franklin Street.

It was about 1919 when we moved out in the country on Croswell Road. (The house they lived in is located a short distance south of M-46, east of St. Louis.) Grandpa and Grandma Schultheiss lived just one-quarter of a mile south of us. Our house was quite small with only one floor. We needed more bedroom space, so Pop and Uncle Ernie Schultheiss raised the roof and added a second story. They put in 3 upstairs bedrooms for us girls. There wasn't any heat up there, and it got pretty cold during the winter. Sometimes us girls would all pile in one bed and cuddle up together to keep warm. We didn't have any electric and so we used kerosene lamps for light at night. Mama would never let us carry them from one room to another. We did our school work at night at the dining room table, with the kerosene lamp in the middle. If the wick had any hard stuff on the end it would start smoking and the glass chimney would get all black. Us kids had the job of washing the glass chimneys, and it had to be done everyday.
           When we moved to St. Louis we attended the schoolhouse that was on the south side of town. This school building burned, and so then we had to go to the high school building that was located in the center of town. For awhile we had to use the books that had been salvaged from the burned out school. They were awfully stinky, but we got by. The road that we walked on to go to school was the road that runs between St. Louis and Saginaw (M-46). It was always called the "plank road", because when they first built the road it was made of wooden board planks.
           I can remember being so cold when we had to walk to school in the wintertime. We didn't have nice warm clothes like they make nowadays. Our feet would always be so cold, because we didn't have boots. We wore rubbers over our shoes, but they would be full of snow by the time we got to school. Then our feet would be wet most of the day. We had to wade through the snow drifts, because not even a horse drawn wagon would go down our road that early in the morning. There weren't very many cars in St. Louis in those days. Sometimes we would walk down the railroad tracks, which passed by our house and went through town. A train always went by early in the morning, and in the wintertime, when the snow was deep in the roads, it was easier walking on the tracks where the train had "plowed out" the snow. If Grandpa had to go to town for something, he would always go in the afternoon and pick us kids up from school in his buggy, wagon, or sleigh, whichever he was driving. Pop worked in the sugar beet factory in St. Louis during the wintertime, and we would stop into see him on our way home from school. There would be chunks of brown sugar coming down a chute into a barrel, and anyone could just help themselves. The brown sugar chunks would have just been thrown away otherwise, because they were hard. Anyway, we would get a couple of chunks of sugar to suck on the way home from school.
           We had a crop of sugarbeets between our house and the railroad tracks. Grandpa would plant the beets for us. First, we would have to thin them, and then keep the weeds out. That would keep Lillian and me busy. In the fall, Grandpa would use a machine to loosen the dirt around the beets. Then, we would have to pull the beets and throw them in a large circle. Papa would use a big knife to cut the tops off, then he would throw them into the center of the circle. Then the beets would be picked up, put on a wagon, and taken to the sugar beet factory. One job that I just hated, was killing the tomato worms. Every summer those big, fat, ugly worms would get into our tomato plants, and we would have to hunt them down. Pop would give us a can with some kerosene in the bottom, and we would knock the worms off the plants with a stick and into the can. Then I would dream about those worms that night while sleeping. Sometimes I still dream about them.
           We walked to Grandpa and Grandma's every night to get a pail of milk. My folks had an ice box to keep our food in during the summertime. In the winter, we just kept our food cold by putting it in the shed, which was a separate building in back of our house. Sometimes the food would freeze out there.
           Our kitchen garden was located beside our house. Grandpa Schultheiss would
plow up the soil, and Pop would plant the seeds in the spring. It was up to Lillian and me to keep it weeded. Oh, there were so many weeds in that soil! There were also a lot of stones, which seemed to be right where our knees would land as we crawled up and down the rows. It seemed like my knees were bruised all summer. We grew everything in our garden - potatoes, corn, radishes, carrots, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers - oh, everything.
           Mama did a lot of canning. She used the big woodstove, and the kitchen would be really hot during the summer canning season. We also dried some foods. I especially remember the dried apples - they made really good apple pie. Pop made a wooden frame with screen fastened on the bottom. We would spread apple slices on the screen and then cover them with netting to keep the flies off. We dried corn by first cooking it, then cutting it off the cob, then putting the kernels of corn on the screen to dry.
           Mama did her washing on the back porch. There was a hand pump on the kitchen sink, and us kids would pump the water and carry it out to the porch and fill the wash tubs for her. We had to fill the tubs before we went to school in the morning. She would heat the wash water in a big boiler that sat on the stove. The ironing was done with flat irons that we would heat on the woodstove. Everything had to be starched and ironed in those days - all of Pop's shirts and our dresses. She even ironed the baby's diapers.
           Mama fixed a hop-scotch place for us out by the barn. We would also play jumprope. Us girls used to play in the barn - it made a good playhouse for us. There was a ladder that went up to the loft, and we would play with our dolls up there. One time Evelyn fell off the ladder and cut herself pretty bad. She had a scar for a long time. I can remember one time when I made myself a dollbed, using some of Pop's left-over wood scraps. I used his handsaw to cut the wood, and then nailed the pieces together. We used to climb trees for fun. There was an orchard in back of the barn and we used to play there. There was also a good climbing tree in front of the house, next to the road.
My sisters and I always had to do the dishes, and Mama would insist that they be done immediately after eating. Well, Evelyn hated to do the dishes. As soon as the dishes were picked up off the table after a meal, Evelyn would have to go to the toilet - which was the outhouse in ourbackyard. She was never in a hurry to get back to the kitchen either. Well, I got tired of having to work at doing the dishes all by myself, so one day I got smart and decided that it was time for me to go to the toilet too. We both flew out the back door in a hurry, and raced towards the outhouse. There was a step at the outhouse door, and Evelyn stubbed her toe and fell forward. Her hand went right into the toilet seat hole, and came out a real stinky mess. Oh, how she bawled, and screamed, and hollared! I just stood there and laughed. The more that I laughed, the louder she screamed.

180 JAMES McCONKEY DEAD
Died Very Suddenly at Harrisburg on Saturday Evening of Heart Failure
HAD INTERESTS IN MILTON
And Was Well Known Here - Funeral Takes Place at Philadelphia Tomorrow.

The following from this morning's Harrisburg Patriot will be of interest to Milton people.

The deceased was the brother-in-law of Albert Cadwallader and had a life interest in the Cadwallader property, corner of Front street and Broadway.

After an illness that lasted but one day, James McConkey, special agent on the Philadelphia division of the Pennsylvania railroad, died Saturday evening shortly before ten o’clock at his home, 1709 North Second street. Death was due to heart failure. Although feeling ill, Mr. McConkey was at his offices in the Cumberland Valley building, Fourth and Chestnut streets, on Friday, but on Saturday he remained at home. He was aged sixty-five and is survived by his wife. Mr. McConkey was one of the best known rail men in Harrisburg, having resided here since June 21, 1903, when he was transferred from Philadelphia.

He had been in the service of the Pennsylvania since a boy, having begun his railroad career as an office boy to the late Thomas Gucker, superintendent of the Philadelphia division, the division headquarters at that time being located in Philadelphia. For a number of years he was superintendent of the New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk division, being located at Cape Charles. Previous to this he was located in Williamsport, and after spending several years at Cape Charles his health began to fail and he returned to Philadelphia and took up the position as chief clerk in the Philadelphia division.
For some time after he was transferred to Harrisburg he also served as chief clerk on the Philadelphia division, but shortly after was made special agent, with jurisdiction over all the agents between Harrisburg and Philadelphia. At the organization of the Philadelphia Division Agents’ Association in 1907 he was elected president, and served in that capacity ever since. The funeral will be held Tuesday morning at 10:30 o’clock from his late residence, and the services will be conducted by Rev. Dr. George S. Chambers, pastor of the Pine Street Presbyterian church. At noon the body will be taken by Undertaker Ogelsby to Philadelphia for interment.

GALLATIN COUNTY – Horatio Nelson Gage

H. N. GAGE
was born near Isherwood’s Corners, August 18, 1825, and lived in Cambridge township until 1854, at which time he accompanied his brother, Walter R., and his brother-in-law, Daniel Smith, who were then emigrating with their families to Wisconsin. Here he became acquainted with Miss Eliza Blood, a native of Pennsylvania, daughter of John Blood, of Cornplanter, Venango Co., Pa., to whom he was married in the fall of 1855.

Two years later the three families again took an overland route, and pitched their tents in the then “bleeding Kansas.” After having lived in Kansas a few years, in the spring of 1860 Mr. Gage again moved with his family, and located near Denver, Col., there engaging in stock business for some years. He thought it was getting too thickly settled in Colorado, and rounding up his herd he started for the Yellowstone country, locating in that valley in 1874. At that time it was a wild country. Mr. Gage feared encounters with the Indians, and to protect his family he built his houses so he could go under the ground in four different places where he had port holes at the top of the ground some distance from the house. For twelve months they never saw a white woman, and very seldom saw a white man.

The next fall old Fort Pease was established, and there was a little travel with hunters and trappers, and mail was carried once a week by soldiers. Gage’s Station was the first home station from Fort Ellis. The soldiers of Ellis tried to induce Mr. Gage to move back to the settlements, but he replied that he came there to stay and make it his home, and he went to improving his ranch when he had to keep a man on guard on the hill back of their house while he was at work. Men were killed on both sides of him, and he had horses stolen and cattle killed immediately in front of him, but Mr. Gage being a very cool man stayed upon his ranch and kept on improving it. In 1875 the mail was carried by the government (P. P. Clark being contractor) by pony express three times a week, Gage’s Station being home station from Bozeman. The country from that time began to open up. Mr. Gage died in 1878, of ulceration of the lungs, leaving a widow and seven children to mourn his loss. Mrs. Gage still stays at their old location, Gage’s Station, where she is engaged in raising stock and farming. She lost a son, Stephen Gage, by drowning, in the Yellowstone river in 1879. Two daughters, Clara and Edena, are at St. Vincent’s Academy, Helena.

184 Memories from Evelyn's sister Wilma: Evelyn, too, got into trouble with my dad around that time. She hung around with a girl up the street from us. Evelyn and Wanda had boldly danced the Charleston on the stage of a downtown theater!!! Evelyn was a cute, spunky young lady with a mind of her own, more of a rebel than Mildred and Lillian. Her enviable spirit is visible in movies Paul (Ingham) made at our reunion in Plainwell MI in 1951, when she pranced around in a bathing suit. She was the actress in our family, also smaller and prettier than we other girls!!! SCHULTHEISS, Evelyn Emma (I206)

A message from Kinzua, McKean county, this morning, brought the sad news that Mrs. Albert Cadwallader passed away shortly after midnight. Mrs. Cadwallader has been in ill health for several years. In the early summer Mr. Cadwallader started west with her, expecting to spend the balance of the year in Los Angeles. They stopped for a short time to visit their son, Dr. Iredell Cadwallader, at Kinzua, and there Mrs. Cadwallader was taken ill, and was unable to continue the contemplated trip to the coast. The immediate cause of her death was a malignant abscess on her right side. A short time before she left home she tripped and fell on the stairs slightly bruising her side by coming in contact with the baluster. The injury was not considered serious and at first gave her little concern. While visiting her son it developed into a large and painful abscess. During the last days of her illness she was a great sufferer. She gradually grew weaker and for the past week no hope has been entertained by her friends. Her death occurred at 12:20 this morning. The body will be brought to Milton for burial, but no funeral arrangements have been made at this writing.

Mrs. Cadwallader was formerly Miss Annie L. Supplee, a member of a well known Philadelphia family. She married Mr. Albert Cadwallader October 20, 1868. Her husband, seven children and one brother survive her. Her children are Mrs. Gertrude Spindle, of Philadelphia; Austin Cadwallader, of Los Angeles, California; Mrs. H. M. Hill and Mrs. Norman Rife, of Philadelphia; Dr. S. Iredell Cadwallader, of Kinzua, and Bertha and Albert, of this place. Notice of funeral will appear tomorrow.
 
Mrs. Cadwallader’s Funeral.
The body of Mrs. Albert Cadwallader will be brought here from Kinzua on Monday afternoon on the flyer, which arrives in Milton at 3:30. Services will be held in Christ Episcopal church at four o’clock. Interment will be made in the family plot in the Upper cemetery immediately after the service.

191 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 of 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." ANGENY, Martin Fretz (I172)
 
192 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. ANGENY, Harry Raymond (I180)
 
193 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.

194 OBITUARY: ANGENY - Mrs. Leah Angeny, whose maiden name was Fretz, was one of a family of ten sisters who all lived to grow to womanhood and had homes and families of their own. The oldest of them lived to the age of over ninety-two years. Mrs. Angeny was next to the youngest of the sisters and outlived the others about twelve years.

She was the mother of eight daughters and one son. She leaves to survive her six daughters, thirty-nine grand children and forty-one great-grand children, who are living in nine different states of the Union, in Africa, India and Korea.

For the past eight years she has been a resident of Lewisburg, Pa., living with her son-in-law, William Shields. She was born in Bucks Co., of this State, on the first day of October, 1810, and closed her long life on the morning of January 25th, making her age 91 years, 3 months and 24 days. She was married October 21, 1828, to Abraham Angeny, with whom she lived more than fifty-one years. They celebrated their golden wedding in 1878. During the dreadful fire in Milton, May 14, 1880, her husband, Mr. Angeny, perished in the flames, being bewildered and losing his way after being directed to a way of escape when nearly surrounded by the fire. Within the last three years two of her daughters have celebrated their golden weddings, and they, with their husbands are still living. Very early in life she became a Christian and was identified with the Mennonite church, in her native county. After coming to Union Co., where she did not have the opportunity of a church of that denomination she united with the Lutheran church of Milton, and later that of Lewisburg. During the last months of her life she was a great sufferer, and often wished that she might be relieved and go to her rest. At the last the end came quietly and peacefully, and she is, without a doubt, enjoying the rest that remaineth to the people of God. Her burial took place on Monday afternoon - 27, in the Lower Cemetery at Milton.

195 OBITUARY: GEHMAN - Jacob Gehman was born in Springfield township, Bucks Co., Pa., May 5, 1827; died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Rachel Smith, near Hope, Kans. Nov. 2, 1905, aged 78y., 5m., 27d. The rest of his earthly record may be briefly stated as follows: He united with the Mennonite church in 1841, was married in 1849 to Barbara Angeny, who survives him; was father to twelve children, ten living; moved with his family to Fayette Co., Iowa, since which time he has lived in Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas, having lived in or near Olathe, Kans., most of the time during the last ten or twelve years. Bro. Gehman has always been steadfast in defense of the Mennonite faith. Although he lived away from the church of his choice most of his life, he always took a great interest in her welfare, tried to build up the church wherever he went, and never missed an opportunity to speak in defense of the doctrine. During the greater part of his life he had been in robust health; but the last few years gave evidence that age was beginning to tell on him. His last ailment was something akin to cancer, which to some extent affected his entire system. He bore all his sufferings patiently, kept going until within a few weeks before his death, and his last days of consciousness were devoted to scripture admonitions, prayer and meditation. He died with full hope of eternal rest, with a number of his children by his bedside. Funeral services at Olathe, Kans., were conducted by I.B. Christ of the Brethren church. Text Gen. 3:19. May God comfort the bereaved. GEHMAN, Jacob Funk (I177)
 
196 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.

199 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, O 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. 
ANGENY, Leah (I173)

The funeral of the late Albert Cadwallader was held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Harry Hill, on North Front street. Rev. W. E. Kunkel, pastor of Christ Episcopal church, conducted the services. Interment was made in Milton cemetery.

The pall bearers were: John H. Kreitzer, H. Judson Raup, William C. Miller and three G. A. R. comrades Seth C. Bower, Alfred Dressler and Z. B. Barclay.
Those from out of town who were here to attend the funeral were: Austin S. Cadwallader, of Los Angeles, Cal.; Dr. and Mrs. S. Iredell Cadwallader and daughter, Marion, of West Fairview; Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Rife and daughter, Louise; Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Worrell and J. Albert Cadwallader, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Kate Mish, of Lebanon; and Mrs. J. L. Koons of Camp Hill.

The will which was probated at Sunbury Tuesday by Registerand Recorder E. V. Nicely, was drawn August 20, 1909, and disposes of an estate valued at about $100,000.

The will directs that all of the real estate holdings of the deceased in Milton be disposed of as soon as possible, with the exception of the share in the Realty building. The money which accrues is to be divided, share and share alike, among the following children: Austin S., of Los Angeles, Cal.; Seth Iredell, of West Fairview; J. Albert, a student at the University ofPennsylvania; Mrs. Harry M. Hill, of North Front street; Mrs. C. N. Rife, and Mrs. P. B. Worrell, both of Philadelphia. Mrs. Gertrude S. Spindle, who died in a Philadelphia hospital two days prior to the drawing of the will, was left one-seventh of the income from the share in the Milton Realty Company.
The will provides that no present or future husband of any daughters is to share in the legacy, nor to use the funds distributed after the sale of the real estate in any manner.

The will directs that the body be buried beside that of his first wife. His widow, Louisa A. Cadwallader, is bequeathed an annuity of $720 per annum, in accordance, so the will reads, with an ante-nuptial agreement in which a quit claim against the estate was signed by the legatee.
