To The Reader

This book outlines the genealogy of my four grandparents, the Grözingers/Gretzingers and theHubers on my father’s side, and the Bayers/Boyers and the Drumbores/Trumbores on my mother’sside.

My aim was to identify and trace each family line to the ancestor who immigrated to the UnitedStates. I achieved this objective for the Grözinger/Gretzinger and the Bayer/Boyer family lines.With the help of my cousin, Ray A. Huber, I successfully traced the Huber family line to theemigrant from Switzerland. However, further study is necessary in order to confirm the identityof the original emigrant from the Drumbore/Trumbore family.

In presenting my research, I employ a common format throughout the volume. First, a separatechapter is devoted to each family line. It begins with an overview of my research techniquefollowed by a narrative on each generation in the family line. The narrative reveals the sourcesthat I consulted and describes the personal background of family members, i.e. occupations,residences, recollections and experiences. Where possible, I illustrate these pages with scannedphotographs.

After the narrative is a genealogy report listing all ancestors that can be traced from the emigrantancestor 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 inthe Grözinger/Gretzinger genealogy report as entry number 35 as discussed in Chapter 2, “An-cestors of Lewis (Grözinger) Gretzinger” genealogy report, page 78. Also note that directlybehind this entry’s middle name, Charles, is the number “5”. This number indicates that Rich-ard is a 5th generation descendant of Lewis Gretzinger. Richard’s 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 thereport’s page number reference for each descendant.

My research over the years uncovered many interesting facts. A few of the highlights are pre-sented below.

· With the help of the National Church Archives in Stuttgart, Germany, I identified four gen-erations of Grözinger (spelled Groezinger without the umlaut) ancestors in Wuerttemberg,Germany. The genealogy of these ancestors, the Grözingers, has been included as separatechapter 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, LewisGretzinger.

· The marriage of my Protestant great-grandfather, Henry S. Gretzinger, resulted in a connec-tion to the Levi/Levy family, whose ancestors were Jewish Germans. With information fromPaul E. Levy, my third cousin, once removed, I traced the Levi/Levy family to the emigrantfrom Germany (see separate chapter on the Levis/Levys).

vii

· I discovered a relationship to the Weidner family-the result of the marriage between mygreat-grandaunt, Caroline S. Gretzinger, to Charles H. Weidner, Sr. (see separate chapter onthe Weidner family line). The Weidner ancestors played a part in the Fries Rebellion of1799. Many of the events leading to the rebellion occurred in my hometown. Rev. WilfredMaloney, Pastor Emeritus of my church, St. Alphonsus in Maple Glen, Pa., piqued my inter-est in the history of this event. At one of our Wednesday morning Bible Study classes, hementioned that many of the activities leading to the rebellion occurred in my hometown ofTrumbauersville, PA. As I was not familiar with the rebellion, I did some research at theBucks County Historical Library. I presented the results of my research at one of our Biblestudy sessions, and since the story is so compelling, I decided to include a summary as an-other chapter in this volume.

· My direct ancestor, Lewis Grözinger (surname was later spelled Gretzinger), is fromWürttemberg, Germany, and consequently, I devote the final chapter to a brief history ofWürttemberg. I focus on the historical backdrop and the political/economic environment inGermany in the mid 1800s in an attempt to understand the reasons why many Germansemigrated during this period.

It is my hope that the reader will enjoy tracing the various branches of my tree and discover howthey 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. Forexample, in the picture on page 27, the name of Henry Gretzinger’s wife is listed as “Ellamanda(nee Hoff) Gretzinger to indicate that Ellamanda’s maiden name was Hoff. When I was notable 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 AndrewBoyer is recorded as “Elizabeth (nee?) Boyer. The listed surname in the genealogy reports inthese cases is that of her husband.

· For those instances where I found an ancestor’s salary, estate or pension, I valued the amountin today’s dollars to put the amount in perspective. To calculate today’s value, I used theaverage annual percent increase of the Consumer Price Index for the period from 1912 to2000, which was 3.5%.

· For dates between 1800 and the present, particularly birthdays, I included the day of theweek, which reminded me of the following poem by Mother Goose.

Monday’s child is fair of face, Friday’s child is loving and giving,Tuesday’s child is full of grace; Saturday’s child works hard for its living;Wednesday’s child is full of woe, But the child that is born on the SabbathThursday’s child has far to go; 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 grand-mother, 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 familyand its origins. My first effort was to compile my research on the Grözinger/Gretzinger ances-tors into a booklet that included Xerox copies of relative’s photographs as attachments. In 1995,I distributed the booklet to family members, who expressed the desire to learn more about ourheritage.

In 1996, my son and daughter surprised me with a special Christmas gift. They had enhancedmy original booklet by reformatting the text on my son’s computer, adding scanned photographsand 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. Thefindings 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 theGretzinger story more compelling and relevant. I have attempted to be as accurate as possible bypresenting the facts as I uncovered them during the course of my research. If I have made errorsin the genealogy or misstatements in the narratives, I apologize and welcome your correctionsand additions.

I am deeply grateful to many people, who took the time to answer my questions, either in personor by letter and e-mail. I am also indebted to several family researchers who provided importantinformation 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 layawake in bed pondering the puzzle and its “missing” pieces. While I had connected most of thepieces at the puzzle’s 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 thrill-ing moment occurred when I found Lewis Groezinger’s naturalization papers. I also enjoyedlearning about those ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War and those who served inthe Union army during the Civil War.

Most particularly, it was rewarding to identify my roots—to understand who had gone beforeand to ponder what sacrifices they had made. Many left their homes, often at great personalrisk, to travel thousands of miles across an ocean to begin a new life in a distant country. I oftenwonder if I would have had the courage to make such a trip. In honor and remembrance of theirfortitude and faith, I dedicate this volume.

Webster’s Dictionary defines genealogy as, “the science or study of family descent.” Typically, thestudy of one’s family involves tracing the family name, or surname, over time from one genera-tion to another.

The inherited family surname is a relatively recent development. According to the book, TheOrigin and Development of Jewish Family Names, the use of inherited family names began aboutthree 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 Chris-tianity, which recognized only baptismal names.

In most early cultures, one name was usually sufficient. If one name was not enough, then a “by-name” (or nickname) was used. By-names were similar to family names but were not perma-nent. For example, someone with a given name of John who was a tailor would have beenreferred to as “John the Tailor.”

Spanish Jews were the first to make widespread use of inherited family names. Yiddish speakingJews 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 inmany 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 familynames. 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 commissioncould impose a surname. Government officials often took bribes in return for granting pleasantsounding names. Blumenthal was “flower valley,” Weintraub was “winegrape” and Steinbergwas “stone mountain.”

Those who could not or would not pay the officials might receive ridiculous names, i.e. Fresserfor “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 onancestors who were Protestant Germans. My main objective was to research my four grandpar-ents with surnames GrGrGrGrGretzinetzinetzinetzinetzingggggererererer,,,,, Huber Huber Huber Huber Huber,,,,, Bo Bo Bo Bo Boyyyyyererererer and TrTrTrTrTrumborumborumborumborumboreeeee.

As is the case with all families, the number of succeeding ancestors is double the precedinggeneration. Each person has two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, sixteen2nd great-grandparents, thirty-two 3rd great-grandparents, sixty-four 4th great-grandparents,etc. Thus, an individual’s family tree starts with that individual and expands outward by a factorof two for each succeeding generation.

This expansion, however, does not continue indefinitely because of the intermarriages of cous-ins. This intermarriage, intentional and random, is “Surname (or Pedigree) Collapse.” A Britishsocial theorist, Robin Fox, has written that eighty percent of the world’s marriages have beenwith at least second cousins. In addition, blood relation marriages were common in royal housesin 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 pedi-gree occurs as more and more cousins marry. The shape of the family tree begins to collapseand takes the shape of a diamond. One of the most studied examples of intermarriage is thePennsylvania Amish. Studies have shown that 80% of the Lancaster Amish have only eieieieieightghtghtghtght sur-sur-sur-sur-sur-names names names names names because of their intermarriages.

Geneticist Guy Murchie has stated that no human can be less closely related to any other humanthan about the 50th cousin, and most are a lot closer. For example, President Jimmy Carter andPresident Richard Nixon were 6th cousins. They were descendants of Richard Morris, a NewJersey Quaker who lived before 1776.

Another factor that contributed to intermarriages was the pool of potential spouses. In manyrural areas in the early 1800s, this pool was limited to the distance one could comfortably walktwice a day when courting. This distance was about five miles. However, when the bicycle wasinvented, this distance extended to 25 miles.

During the course of my research, I did find the intermarriages of a few cousins. The largerimpact, however, was that of the distance limitation relating to the pool of potential spouses. Iwould estimate that at least 80% of my ancestors living in the 1800s in Bucks and MontgomeryCounties 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 inheritedfamily surname and recorded ancestors and descendants vital statistics. I was not aware that a“Grözinger” family Bible existed until my cousin, Jane Hartwich, informed me it was in thepossession of Glenn Franklin George, a great-grandson of Lewis Grözinger/Gretzinger. TheBible originally belonged to Johann Michael Christoph Grözinger and was dated 1825. He wasthe brother of Johann Ludwig Grözinger. Johann Ludwig was the father of Ludwig (Lewis)Grözinger, my 2nd great grandfather who emigrated from Germany to the United States.

When Lewis Grözinger 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 wereprobably made by Lewis. These entries list the birth and marriage dates of all of Lewis’ childrenand 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 Biblewas next passed down to the son of Franklin K., Glenn Franklin George. The Bible is currently inGlenn’s 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 sawthe Bible. In July of 2002, my son took digital photographs of the Bible which are reproduced onpages 3, 5 and 6. The frontispiece of the Bible has an inscription written by Johann Michael inold German script.

Inside the Bible, there is a handwritten document in old German script. Glenn’s wife, Peggy, hadthe document translated. It appears that Michael Christoph wrote it to the children of hisbrother, Johann Ludwig. One of those children was Ludwig, my 2nd great-grandfather. Thedocument appears to be a eulogy to the parents of Michael Christoph and it reads (another ofMichael’s given names was Johann):

TTTTThe Parhe Parhe Parhe Parhe Parents and Childrents and Childrents and Childrents and Childrents and Childrenenenenen

“Only once more in my whole life I would like to see my parents again. What would I not givefor this chance! Oh, would this only happen once more. I would press them against mycheek, burning with love, look at them with loving eyes, and look at their faces with the trustof a child.

Oh, fate! You have torn them from me. Adieu, my joy, my happiness, my everything. Mytears will still flow for them in years to come. Oh, Mother, you have born me in pain. I knowhow 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 didI feel when I ate my piece of bread with them. I knew little about grief and sorrow. My heartwas 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. Idon’t see you any more, dear parents. God took you up to him forever, where you can livewith Him, see His countenance forever. He will reward you for everything you have done foryour children.

Only now do I recognize the great gift given to us when parents live longer. Every childshould call himself lucky when it still has parents around him. The love of parents is as greatand mighty as any love in this world. Many a mother would gladly bear all the pain if onlyher sick child would recover.

You children enjoy the happiness because your parents are still alive! Do not neglect to beobedient like a good child! Pray to God to give your parents a long life! Be righteous andaffectionate, 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. JohannMichael’s father, Johann Karl, died at the age of 55, on March 15, 1817, eighteen yearsbefore his wife passed away.

The Family Register recorded that Johann Karl and Anna Barbara had nine children. Fourhad died by 1823. Four daughters and two sons survived. The two sons were Johann MichaelChristoph 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 ofLewis Grözinger’s children. It is believed that Lewis made these entries after he immigrated tothe United States in 1848. The earliest of these entries was the birth of his first child, KarlChristian Grözinger, on May 16, 1855, and his death on August 3, 1857. These dates wereconfirmed by the dates on Karl’s tombstone in the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church cem-etery, Zion Hill, Pa. The other birth dates recorded by Lewis in the Bible were confirmed bythe parish records of Christ Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville, Pa. A photo of the birthrecordings in the Bible is shown below.

Note that the surnames for the births of Lewis’ children were recorded as “Grözinger,” whichwas the German spelling.

However, the marriages for Lewis’ children were recorded with the surname “Grötzinger.”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.” Be-low is a photograph of the recordings in the family Bible of the marriages of Lewis’ childrenand the death of one.

My grandmother once told me that the first Gretzinger in our family came to this country fromsouthern Germany and his name was Lewis. From that bit of information, and a lot of searchingthrough census records, birth notices, marriage announcements, death records, tomb stones andchurch records, I have pieced together the genealogy of the Gretzingers that settled in and aroundthe 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 UnitedStates Federal Census and church records. A federal census is conducted every ten years begin-ning in 1790. The information in these records is currently available to the public for the years1790 through 1930. Under federal law, census records after 1930 are not yet available to thegeneral public.

The census records contain a wealth of information. The type of information recorded in eachcensus, 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 rela-tionship to the head of that household. Census records of 1870 added the sex, age and place ofbirth for each family member. For each wife listed in the 1900 census, the number of childrenborn 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 wellas the place of birth for the head of the household’s mother and father. It also recordswhether or not the individuals can read, write and speak English and each person’s occupa-tion. The 1900 census also provided information on home ownership- whether owned orrented and if the home is owned “free” or has a mortgage-and property use, i.e. if it is afarm or a home. If an emigrant, the 1900 census recorded the year the person entered theUnited States.

The census information was handwritten on large paper forms. For example, the formsused in the 1900 census were about two feet long and 18 inches high. Microfilm copies ofthe original census forms are available for research; however, complete census informationis beginning to be recorded on Compact Disks (CDs) that can be accessed by a PersonalComputer. Many entries on the handwritten census forms are difficult to read because ofthe 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 alllived in or near Milford Township, Trumbauersville. Many were members of the same

17

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 descendantsbegins at the end of this chapter on page 76. Lewis is listed as entry number 1 in the report. Inthe following narrative, the entry numbers precede each name.

Lewis was born on Thursday, January 14, 1819, in Reutlingen, in the state of Württemberg,located in southwestern Germany. He was baptized into the Lutheran church in Germany in1819 and confirmed in 1833. Lewis’ father’s given names, according to a family register ob-tained from the National Church Archives in Stuttgart, were Johann Ludwig, and his mother’sname was Margaret Bühl. Lewis appears as entry number 1 on the report “Descendants ofLewis Grözinger/Gretzinger,” page 76.

The birthplace of my ancestor as noted above was Württemberg. Württemberg was successivelya countship, a duchy, a kingdom and a republic before partition after World War II. For the lastperiod of its separate existence, it was bounded northeast and east by Bavaria, southeast byBavaria and Lake Constance, and southwest, west and northwest by Baden. The capital wasStuttgart. Except for the Rhine plain, Württemberg is a mountainous and hilly region that in-cludes 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 estab-lish 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 inNovember of 1848, King Frederick William IV stopped these reform efforts and retained allexecutive authority in his (the King’s) hands.

The stern reactionary measures taken by the king to suppress the liberal movement forced manyof the inhabitants of Germany, particularly Württemberg, to emigrate. Many came to the UnitedStates where they found fertile and free soil. The US inherited a fortunate legacy because of thedefeat of the liberal movement in Germany.

A brief history of Württemberg is included in Chapter 12.

18

One of those Germans who emigrated was Lewis Grözinger (the German spelling of the sur-name required an umlaut above the o). Lewis was confirmed into the German Lutheran Churchwhen he was 14 years old. He had four brothers and three sisters. Lewis left Württemberg at theage of 29 and arrived in the port of New York on Sunday, May 28, 1848, as recorded on his FinalPetition (see page 21). Research has shown that one of his sisters may have immigrated to theUnited States. (See page 284).

It is interesting to speculate why Lewis left Germany. Was it because he favored the liberalmovement 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 afarmer)? We will never know for sure, but if it weren’t for that boat trip to America, we Gretzingerswouldn’t be here.

I attempted to determine on which ship Lewis crossed the Atlantic. I researched the emigrantpassenger lists at the National Archives in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, there is no index ofpassengers for the year 1848; therefore, the researcher must manually read through the entirepassenger list to find the emigrant in question. Archives records listed only two ships thatarrived 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 passen-ger list for the Meta was extremely light (the original ink had undoubtedly faded) and the handwriting difficult to read. I could not verify that Lewis was a passenger on this ship. I alsoresearched the passenger list for the ship Plenty since some German emigrants went to Englandfor 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 ofNew York on Friday, May 26, Saturday, May 27 and Monday, May 29, 1848. The passenger listfor 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 couldnot 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. Thearchivist who conducted the research advised that their records were not complete as manypassenger 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 NewYork was the Black Ball Line. The company opened service in 1816 with four ships, each 500tons. They were the Amity, Courier, Pacific and the James Monroe.

The National Archives’ passenger lists include the ship Pacific leaving Bremen and arriving in theport of New York on Saturday, May 27, 1848. It is possible that Lewis may have been a passengeron this ship. In Douglas Lobley’s book entitled Ships Through the Ages published in 1972, theshipping correspondent of the Liverpool Courier described the ship’s accommodations: “Herdining 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 reservedfor the passengers of the fourteen first-class cabins.

19

Although the emigrant passengers provided most of the voyage’s profit, they had primitive ac-commodations. They were virtually stowed in the ‘tween decks and had to bring their own foodand fight for a place at the stove to cook it. Beds were a wooden shelf, or tray-all this in abattened-down, heaving and pitching ship. The average length of passage across the Atlantic inthese ships was 33 days. On the basis of that average, Lewis would have set sail for New York inApril of 1848.

Sometime after arriving in New York, Lewis headed for Pennsylvania. In the 1850 census, hewas recorded as living in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. This census also recorded Lewis’occupation as “weaver” and his birthplace as Württemberg. He was recorded as living withRoeller 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), AaronStricker, a farmer (age 27) and Hannah Stricker (age 17).

That same year, 1850, he arrived at the Doylestown Court House, Bucks County, Pennsylvania toapply for citizenship. He filed his Declaration of Intent on September 16, 1850, at the court-house 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 fiveyears and a resident of the state for one year before the emigrant could complete the naturaliza-tion process. In addition, a citizen of the United States had to accompany the applicant to thecourt and affirm that the emigrant met the residency requirements. The citizen that accompa-nied the prospective emigrant also had to sign the emigrant’s petition to the court.

Lewis completed the naturalization process on September 21, 1854, six years after he enteredthe country, by appearing before the Doylestown Court of Common Pleas. He signed an oath ofallegiance to the United States and renounced allegiance to King Wilhelm. The citizen who af-firmed 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). Acopy of Lewis’ oath of allegiance (Final Petition) appears on page 21.

As noted above, when Lewis emigrated, his surname was spelled “Grözinger” (umlaut above the“o”). This spelling, however, was later “Americanized.” It was typical to drop the umlaut andadd 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 wasspelled “Groetzinger.” Since the letter “z” has a built-in “t” sound, it is pronounced likethe American “ts” so names with a “z” can be spelled with a “t.” In the 1884 churchrecords of the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church of Trumbauersville and the 1900 cen-sus, 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 ZionEvangelical Lutheran Church in Zion Hill, Springfield Township, Bucks County, Pa. TheStiefels were also members of this church, including Johanna Stiefel, his future wife.

20

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 anemigrant from Württemberg as were her parents, John Jacob Stiefel and Catharine Weisert.Hannah was born on Wednesday, August 4, 1830, in the town of Derdingen, in Württemberg,Germany.

Lewis and Hannah Gretzinger settled in Milford Township, an area first settled by Germanemigrants 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 exactlocation is not known. They had six children, entries 2 through 7 on the descendant’s 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 throughthe death of Hannah’s parents, John Stiefel in 1864 and Catharine in 1866. In all probability, thechildren of Lewis and Hannah were born and baptized while members of Zion EvangelicalLutheran Church.

Zion Evangelical Lutheran church was organized in 1840, is still in existence today. One mightsurmise that the early church conducted services in German as the tombstones in the old sectionof the cemetery located directly behind the church were engraved in German. The first son ofLewis and Hannah is buried there.

Some time after 1866, the family became members of the Christ Lutheran Church inTrumbauersville. The first church building in Trumbauersville, known as the Lower MilfordChurch or Trumbauer’s Church, was dedicated on May 4, 1769. The first regular Lutheranminister was the Rev. Philip H. Rapp. The church, however, was organized as a Union churchwith both Lutheran and Reformed ministers. This was typical with many early churches becauseof the expense to maintain separate churches. The first Reformed minister was the Rev. JohnChristopher Gobrecht, who emigrated from Hesse, Germany in 1753. At this time, Christ Churchwas 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 wascontractor, was completed in 1805. The thirdedifice was built in 1868, close to the site ofits predecessors. Its size was 62 feet by 46feet. A picture of the church from the 1900sappears to the left. Lewis and his family at-tended services in this church as members ofthe Lutheran congregation.

It was recorded in the 1880 census that Lewiswas a “farmer.” Hannah was listed as “keep-ing house,” implying that she did not workoutside the house. All of the children overthe age of 14 worked in the local cigar facto-ries-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 house-hold with their son-in-law, Charles H. Weidner, and daughter Caroline, and their grandchil-dren, Emma and Charles H. Weidner, Jr. Charles Jr. recalled that Lewis was a tall man whoinsisted that his name be spelled “L-e-w-i-s” and not “L-o-u-i-s,” which he said, was French. Hisgrandson also recalled Lewis’ death on Wednesday, May 11, 1904, which was the result of a falldown a complete flight of steps in his daughter’s home. He was killed instantly. His death recordreads:

“Gretzinger-On May 11, 1904, in Trumbauersville, at the home of his son-in-law, CharlesWeidner, Lewis Gretzinger, aged 85 years, 3 months and 27 days. He was a son of Charles andMargaret (Bül) Gretzinger, and was born in Rentling, Germany, January 14, 1819. He wasdedicated to the Lord through the sacrament of baptism in infancy, and was confirmed in his14th year, and became a member of the Lutheran Church. In 1848 he came to America. Hewas married to Hannah Stiefel August 6, 1854. Their union was blessed with six children, twosons and four daughters. One son and two daughters have died. His sickness was old age andthe result of a fall. He lived to see 11 grandchildren, of whom one died. He is survived by hiswife, one son, two daughters and ten grandchildren. Two sisters have gone before and areawaiting his coming. Services and interment at Christ’s Church, Trumbauersville, May 17,1904.”

After Lewis’ death, his wife, Hannah, continued to live with her daughter, Caroline and son-in-law Charles H. Weidner, at 201 E. Broad St. This home was one of two identical homes built tothe specifications written by Henry Gretzinger, Caroline’s brother. The other house, built byHenry 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, atTrumbauersville, 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 wasborn in Württemberg, Germany, on August 4, 1830, and baptized in infancy, and, as is thecustom in Germany, she was received, after due instruction, as a member of the EvangelicalLutheran 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. Thisunion was blessed with two sons and four daughters.

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 twoyears. He died on Friday, August 3, 1855, and was buried in the cemetery at Zion Hill LutheranChurch, Zion Hill, Pa.

I visited the cemetery in July of 1998 and found his tombstone. I noted that it was inscribed inGerman and the surname was spelled as it was in Germany, that is “Grözinger”. A picture of histombstone 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 ofTrumbauersville.

It is interesting to note that in the 1880 census, Maryann was not included in the household withher parents, Lewis and Hannah Gretzinger. She may have gone to live with relatives (possibly theStiefels) in Philadelphia where she may have met her future husband who was born in Philadel-phia. 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). Henry’soccupation listed in the 1900 census was “cigar maker.”

Maryann’s husband, Henry, died of bronchitis at the age of 70 on Friday, April 27, 1917, andwas buried on Tuesday, May 1, 1917, at Northwood Cemetery (Locust section, lot 45), 15th andHaines Streets, Philadelphia. Maryann died of colon cancer at the age of 72 and was buried onSaturday, December 1, 1928, in the same lot with her husband.

Henry S. Gretzinger was born in Trumbauersville on Thursday, November 12, 1857. On Satur-day, 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 onSaturday, September 26, 1885. Ellamanda, (also referred to as Ellen or Ella) was born on Tues-day, July 14, 1863, in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania as was her mother, MaryAmanda 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 PersonalComputer, 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 ownedby Ellamanda’s 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 parson-age for the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church. For some reason, however, the parsonage wasnot built, and Henry acquired the property. As recorded in Deed Book 289, page 294, Henrypurchased 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 hadbuilt at 50-52 North Main Street. A photo taken about 1900 of this house appears on the nextpage. My sister, Dolores Seachrist, had the original specifications, a copy of which can be foundat 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 thekitchen 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 wasno running water for drinking purposes. There was an outdoor well (in the backyard under thegrapevine) that was used for drinking purposes.

Electrical-there were no specifications for electrical work; therefore, I assume the house had noelectricity and was lighted by oil lamps.

Paint-exterior paint was two coats of Lewis lead and linseed paints.

28

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 andtwo 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 MilfordTownship, 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 in-sert).

Henry was one of the teachers in the church schoolfor the years 1891 to 1893. He was Treasurer ofthe Sunday school from 1894 through 1896. Hiswife, Ellamanda, was also a Sunday school teacherin 1896. Henry was appointed to the church councilin 1906 at the age of 49.

The church record describes the Sunday schoolChristmas festival for 1894 as follows: “The Christ-

mas festival of Christ’s 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. Theoffering amounted to $23.78.”

On Monday, March 21, 1897, Ellamanda’s father, Carey Hoff, died. Henry was the Administra-tor to his will. One of the relatives to receive an inheritance from the will was Carey’s grand-daughter, Ellen Jane (Bartholomew, entry 78, page 313) Bressler. Ellen Jane married CharlesBressler 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 andCounty of Philadelphia, one of the grandchildren, and her husband, of Carey Hoff, deceased lateof Milford Township, Bucks County and State of Pennsylvania, do hereby acknowledge that wehave this day had and received from Henry S. Gretzinger, Administrator of the aforesaid estate ofCarey Hoff, deceased, the sum of $1,375.56 in full satisfaction and payment of all such sum orsums of money, due us out of my grandfather’s estate as aforesaid. And therefore we Ella Bresslerand Charles, her husband, do by these presents remise, quit-claim and forever discharge the saidHenry S. Gretzinger, his heirs, executors and administrators, of and from the said sums of moneythat 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 ofany 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 the1900 and 1910 censuses, both his children also worked in local tobacco factories. The cigarmaking 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 wheresix million pounds was grown in 1860. After the Civil War, production had increased to morethan 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 lessthan a dozen people.

Henry worked in one of these shops. Allen H. Levy owned a factory at 37 N. Main Street andemployed more than 30 hands. Allen was the first cousin of Henry’s 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 beganmoving in and convinced many of the smaller owners to rent their factories rather than com-pete. Allen Levy rented his factory to Theobald and Oppenheimer. Otto Eisenlohr & Bros. occu-pied a large three-story factory at 32 W. Broad Street (across the street from my childhood homeat 21 W. Broad) that was built by the people of Trumbauersville through a stock sale of $50 pershare. When completed, the Eisenlohrs moved in and Frank Levy (Henry’s cousin and my 2nd

30

cousin) was foreman. Under Levy’s supervision, the business flourished. The Company’s “Cinco”cigar became the most popular cigar in America and was sold from coast to coast.

Cigar making required three kinds of tobacco leaves—the filler leaves which became the core ofthe cigar; the binder leaves which held the filler leaves together; and the wrapper leaves whichbecame the external part of the cigar. The leaf tobacco was shipped to Philadelphia merchantswho resold the leaf to the local factories. The tobacco was shipped by freight to Quakertown andthen 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 itarrived at the factory, it was taken to the cellar and opened by the “Cellar Man.” As he unpackedthe boxes, he swept the leaves across the surface of a tub of water, piled them on a large table andcovered them with a damp cloth. By the next morning, the tobacco was soft and pliable andready for the “Strippers.”

The stripper’s job was to remove the stem from the leaf. Afterwards, the stripped filler leaveswere sent to the attic for drying. The stripped binder leaves were made into eight-ounce padsand kept damp until needed by the cigar maker. Stripping the wrapper leaves was a more deli-cate operation. Great care was taken to avoid tearing the leaves. The stripped wrapper leaveswere 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 amountof filler in his hand. The cigar maker then fashioned the filler into the proper length, rolled itinto a binder leaf and twisted the ends of the binder leaf tightly to hold it in place. The unfin-ished cigar was then placed in a wooden mold that held ten cigars. The Cigar Maker was ex-pected 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. Eachleaf was examined to determine how many cigars could be wrapped by one leaf. A normal sizedleaf would wrap two cigars.

The wrapper’s board was equipped with a gauge and cutter. The main function of wrappingwas to roll the unfinished cigar into a wrapper leaf to give it a seamless appearance with asmoothly 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 tothe packing room. This room was equipped with skylights so the “Packers” could sort the cigarsby color. The Packer would select 50 cigars of the same color and pack them in a box and nailthe lid shut. At the end of the day, the filled cigar boxes were put in big presses where theyremained overnight. The next day the boxes were opened and identifying bands were placed oneach cigar. Once banded, the cigars had to be replaced in the box in the same order as they wereremoved. 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 each1000 cigars they produced. At the $7 rate and working a six-day week, a Cigar Maker couldearn more than $20 a week. In today’s dollars, that wage would be equivalent to $50,000 a year.

31

Based on those wages, a good Cigar Maker would have been in the upper middle class. Undoubt-edly, this is one reason why Henry could afford to build his home in Trumbauersville. A familyportrait (see below) taken around 1901 shows the family to be well dressed, another indicationthat Henry and his family were reasonably well off.

In 1908, Henry’s wife, Ellamanda, died. Her death notice in the parish record reads:

“Gretzinger,-On March 13, 1908, at Trumbauersville, Bucks County, PA., Amanda, wife of HenryGretzinger, aged 44 years, 7 months, and 29 days. She was a daughter of Cary Hoff and his wifeMary (nee Levy). She was born in Trumbauersville on the 14th day of July 1863. She wasbaptized on August 28, 1863, by Rev. P. Fisher. Confirmed by Rev. F. J. Mohr and received as afull member of the Reformed Church, October 23, 1880. She was married to Henry Gretzingerby 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 Christ-mas. 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 child’s rockingchair with a cloth back and seat, a rectangular stool and a child’s cupboard. All of these itemswere painted white. They are in the possession of my cousin, Jane Hartwich, in her home inArizona.

After his wife’s death, Henry and his daughter lived together as noted in the 1910 census. Hisdaughter, however, died on Thursday, November 2, 1911, and after her death, Henry marriedMary 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 ashusband and wife in a home that Mary owned at 11 East Broad Street in Trumbauersville. It isbelieved that Henry continued to live at this location with his second wife, Mary, until his deathin 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 ad-ministered in infancy. He was confirmed in Christ’s Lutheran Church and remained faithfuluntil the time of his decease. He was united in marriage with Mary nee Freed. He is survived byhis widow, one son, Charles, and three grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted at hislate residence and in Christ’s Lutheran Church by Rev. E. E. Landis and Rev. J. B. Swartz. Inter-ment on November 23, 1933, in Trumbauersville cemetery.”

As noted above, Henry’s second wife, Mary Freed, was married twice before she wed Henry.Mary’s 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, atthe age of 53, four years after he married Mary. About three years after Edward died, Marymarried Henry S. Gretzinger.

Mary lived to the age of 88, having passed away on Friday, June 19, 1936. She was buried in theUnion Cemetery in Trumbauersville with her first husband, John W. Brunner. Her grave markerlisted her name as Mary G. Brunner.

The fourth child of Lewis and Hannah was Caroline, aka Carrie. She was born on Friday, De-cember 10, 1858, in Trumbauersville and confirmed on Saturday, November 8, 1873, at ChristLutheran Church, Trumbauersville. Ten years later on Saturday, November 17, 1883, she mar-ried Charles H. WWWWWeidnereidnereidnereidnereidner. She was 25 years old and Charles was 27 when they wed. Charles wasborn on Tuesday, April 21, 1856, in Flourtown, Pa., and was the son of Henry Weidner andMary AllabaughAllabaughAllabaughAllabaughAllabaugh.

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 takenabout the time (1883) she married Charles H. Weidner. Also below to the right is a picture ofCharles also taken about 1883 when he was 27 years old. At the bottom of the page is a pictureof Caroline and Charles with their daughter taken about 1910.

After the death of Caroline’s mother-in-law, Mary A. (neeAllabaughAllabaughAllabaughAllabaughAllabaugh) Weidner in 1899, Caroline was appointedtrustee of Mary’s will and received the proceeds($1,329.51) from the sale of Mary’s property. In today’sdollars, those proceeds would have been worth about$44,000 (at a 3.5%annual inflation rate).It appears that Carrieinvested this money invarious real estateproperties. On No-vember 1, 1900, she

bought a property in Quakertown located on the East Side ofHellertown Ave. from Israel Weikel. She sold this propertyon July 3, 1903, to Albert J. Weiss. On January 16, 1902,Carrie bought another property in Quakertown located onthe south side of Broad Street between 6th and 7th Streetsowned by William and Emma Weiner. She sold this prop-erty on March 28, 1903, to Minnie Transue.

In Trumbauersville, Caroline bought a property on NorthMain Street (probably number 125) near the cemetery fromSerphian Shup(e) on January 1, 1896.

I believe this property was adouble house where her familylived on one side and her sister’s(Caroline Nase) family lived onthe other side with her parents,Lewis and Hannah Gretzinger.The 1900 census recorded thesefamily members living togetherin Trumbauersville.

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 Caroline’s brother, Henry Gretzinger.(A picture of his home appears on page 28.). Both homes were undoubtedly built from the samespecifications.

Carrie’s husband, Charles Weidner, was a direct descendant (2nd great-grandson) of DanielWeidner, who played a role in the “Fries Rebellion.” This rebellion was in opposition to theproperty 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.

35

Carrie had two children, Emma and Charles H. Jr. (entries 13 and 14, page 77). It is interestingto note that she was 32 years old when her daughter was born and 42 years old when her sonwas born.

The 1920 census stated that her husband’s occupation was “broom maker” and that he ownedhis own shop. As noted earlier, his shop was in the barn behind his house at 201 East BroadStreet. He raised the corn stalk for his brooms behind his shop. It was estimated that Charlesproduced 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 UnionCemetery 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.

He was married to Catharine Gretzinger,April 16, 1887. Their union was blessed with four children, one son and three daughters.

He was confined to bed for only three days and his death was quite unexpected.Interment at Christ’s Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville. Rev D. H. Reiter officiated at the houseand Rev. J. H. Waidelich at the church.”

After Oswin’s 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. Alsoliving in the Nace household were Catharine’s daughters, Carolina, Ada, and Mary, and her son,Charles L. The census also noted that Lewis and Hannah Gretzinger were “boarders” in thishousehold. Lewis was 81 years old and Hannah was 70 years old. Lewis was semi-retired. Hisoccupation (later noted on his death certificate) was “carpet weaver.” He undoubtedly hadstopped farming at this age and resumed his previous occupation.

Five years after Oswin’s death, his widow, Catharine, died at the age of 37. Her death notice inthe Parish Record reads:

“Nace-On January 6, 1903, in Trumbauersville, Catharine, widow of Oswin Nace, aged 37years, 5 months and 29 days. She was a daughter of Lewis and Hannah (Stiefel) Gretzinger, andwas 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 Christ’sLutheran Church, Trumbauersville.

On April 16, 1887, she was married to Oswin Nace, Rev. J. L. Becker officiating. Their union wasblessed 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, threedaughters, one brother (Henry) and two sisters (Maryann and Caroline); one brother (Karl) andone sister (Hannah Amanda) preceded her to the home where sorrows and partings are un-known. Services and interment at Christ’s 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 ofthe 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 daugh-ter, 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 mother’s death were 14 and 12, respectively.

Charles was born on Friday, May 14, 1886, in Trumbauersville, Pa. Two months later on thefourth of July 1886, he was baptized in the Christ Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville. At theage of 15 on Saturday, November 2, 1901, Charles was confirmed in the Christ Lutheran Churchin Trumbauersville.

Charles and his younger sister, Lillie, attended the Trumbauersville grammar school. In a souve-nir 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.

HarHarHarHarHarrrrrry Moy Moy Moy Moy MoyyyyyerererererCirca 1900

39

When I examined the booklet, I noticed that Charles was listedin First Grade and his sister, Lillie, was listed in Third Grade.Charles, however, was two years older then Lillie. I wouldhave 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 wasborn in 1885, as was Ada Brunner. It appears that the stu-dents listed in First Grade were older than ten years of age.

The Second Grade pupils all appear to be about ten years ofage. Edith H. Reiter was born April 6, 1886, and Clarence D.Huber was born June 16, 1886. The Third Grade pupils ap-pear to be less than nine years of age. Lillie Gretzinger waseight as was Ella Huber. Carrie Nase (Nace) was seven. PearleHuber, 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 souvenirbooklet made an error. The pupils listed as First Grade were the Third Grade and those listed asThird Grade students were the First Grade pupils.

Another interesting observation about the listing of these students was their relationship to CharlesH. 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 inadditional relationships—twosisters-in-law, Pearle and MinnieHuber, 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 relatedto nine of them, or more than tenpercent. Trumbauersville wastruly a “small” town. When I wasgrowing up in the 1940s, the popu-lation was about 500. In the late1800s, I would assume the popu-lation was even less.

After grade school, Charles, and many of his schoolmates were employed in one of the localtobacco factories in Trumbauersville.

When he reached the age of 21, Charles married Ellen (Ella) Dubbs Huber on Saturday, January5, 1907. Ella was 19 years old when they married. Their portrait appears below.

Circa 1907

After their marriage in 1907, Charles and Ella lived with Ella’s mother, Emma R. Huber. In the1910 census they were recorded as “boarding” in Emma’s house. Emma was listed as a propri-etress of a boarding home. The home was located on North Main Street in Trumbauersville. Itwas the second house from the intersection of Broad and Main Streets on the East Side of thestreet. Emma’s husband, Oswin Huber, abandoned her and their six children in 1904. Emmasupported herself and family by operating her home as a boarding house. She owned this homebut there was a mortgage on the property.

41

Also living in the house at this time was Charles’ and Ella’s son, Ralph, four of Emma’s sons(William L., Harold D., Percy D., and Clarence D.), Clarence’s wife, Lydia, a grandson, HowardH., her daughter, Pearl M., and Pearl’s husband, Frederick Slifer.

Sometime around 1907, Charles and his wife visited WillowGrove Park where they had a photo taken (see insert). Thephoto appears on the back of a post card from the park.

The 1920 census shows Charles and his family, wife Ella, sonsRalph and Wilmer, and daughter Myrtle, living at a home onMain Street, Trumbauersville, that he rented. I presume thatthis is the home at 50 North Main Street that Henry, Charles’father, built. This home was a two family dwelling with sepa-rate front and side entrances. As noted earlier, the specifica-tions for this house are listed at the end of this chapter.

Charles lived in the dwelling on the south side of the two fam-ily home. Coal and wood were used to heat the cooking stove.The original heating system was a coal-fired hot air furnace inthe basement. The hot air rose through floor registers in theliving and dining rooms. The upstairs rooms were not heated,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 theliving room on the first floor.

Charles and his family were members of the Christ Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville. Hewas a member of the church council in 1917 and served as Treasurer and Secretary of theUnion Sunday school. It is my understanding that Charles left the Lutheran Church to become amember 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, ser-vices were alternated every Sunday—one Sunday the Lutherans had a morning service, the nextSunday the Reformed congregation had its service. The Sunday school, however, continued to beoperated as a “union” school for both denominations.

As a boy, I recall that most every Sunday dinner was at my grandparents’, Charles’ and Ella’s,home. On Saturday, my father would buy a live chicken from his brother-in-law’s parents, theHartwichs. He would take the chicken to my grandmother’s house where he would chop off thehead with an ax. I vividly recall the headless chicken fluttering and spewing blood through thehigh 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 deadcarcass after it was dumped in boiling water. On Sunday precisely at 12 noon we wouldsit 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, followedclosely by fresh raspberry and rhubarb pie.

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 bymaking cigars. His graduating class was comprised of 36 women and 17 men. Above is apicture of his graduating class.

My grandpop, Charles, was also a hunter. He would hunt small game—pheasant, squirrel andrabbit, as well as larger game like deer. After successful hunts, my grandmother would makepheasant, squirrel and/or rabbit pie or venison (deer) roast. The first dinner that my wife had atGrammy Ella’s home was squirrel pie. We told her it was chicken, but the shotgun pellets in thepie gave us away.

On one hunting occasion, a fellow hunter shot my grandfather. I recall that he was hit by ashotgun blast and some pellets hit him in the back of the head. Thank God that the wound wasnot too serious. On another occasion, he invited me on a hunting trip for small game. I wasprobably about ten or 11 years old. All I can recall was endless walking, being tired, cold and fullof “prickles” from the bushes in the woods. That cured me of any further notion about hunting.

43

I also recall that my grandparents had raised a pig. Occasionally, I would “slop” the pig. Afterthe pig matured, it was butchered. I believe that my great uncle, Harold (Hap) Huber, did thebutchering (he was the local butcher). My grandfather made homemade scrapple from the pig,although I’m not sure what parts of the pig he used to make his scrapple. I also recall mygrandmother cooking stuffed pig’s stomach. The stuffing was made of seasoned mashed pota-toes. She also cooked pig’s knuckles.

After graduating from Business College, Charles held a number of business positions. He wasPresident of the Sellersville Savings and Loan and its Director for 30 years. He was Secretary ofthe Trumbauersville Water Department for 14 years and Borough secretary for a number ofyears. He also was a bookkeeper for the Roig cigar factory. He also filled out tax returns formany of the local residents. I recall him working at the dining room table as a number of peoplewaited 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, PresidentFranklin 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 age66 in 1952. He was diabetic, and he began to loose his eyesight. He died two days before Christ-mas on Tuesday, December 23, 1952, several months after he retired. The published deathnotice 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 RalphGretzinger of Stroudsburg, Pa., son Wilmer H. Gretzinger of Trumbauersville, and daughterMyrtle 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 afterMyrtle, her husband and two children moved to Arizona, my sister Dolores (Gretzinger) Seachristand her family rented that half of the home.

Ella’s pride and joy was her garden. It was fairly large, about 30 feet by 100 feet. She grew manyvegetables—corn, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, onions, etc. She also raised horseradish root whichshe would grind fresh herself. Wow, what an aroma! She canned many of her vegetables. Shealso had apple trees, which provided the ingredients for her apple tarts and applesauce. Shewould also dry sliced apples in the attic; she called the dried apples “apple schnitz” (spelling maynot be correct). One spring day in 1964 while working in her garden, she suffered a stroke. Shewas 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 UnionCemetery, Trumbauersville, Pa.

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

“Gretzinger-On November 2, 1911, of typhoid fever and pa-ralysis of the heart, Lillie H. Gretzinger, aged 23 years, 3 monthsand 29 days. She was the daughter of Henry S. Gretzingerand his wife Ellamanda, nee Hoff. She was born inTrumbauersville on July 3, 1888 and baptized by Rev. D. H.Reiter on the 18th of August 1888. After due instruction inthe Christian religion as taught and confessed by the Evan-gelical Lutheran Church of Trumbauersville, she was receivedinto full membership of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Churchof Trumbauersville, Pa., on October 28, 1905, by Rev. D. H.Reiter. She was sick for sixteen days. The funeral was held onNovember 7, 1911, in Christ’s Church. Interment took placein the Trumbauersville cemetery. She is survived by her fa-ther, one brother and the paternal grandmother.”

It is interesting to note that both Lillie and her aunt, HannahAmanda Gretzinger, died at the age of 23 and that they bothdied of typhoid fever.

The parish record also listed the following resolution adoptedby the Christ’s Lutheran League on December 3, 1911:

“Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to remove from ourmidst, on Thursday, November 2, 1911, our friend and fellowmember, Miss Lillie Gretzinger, who by her irreproachablecharacter has endeared herself to many friends, who will everhold her in grateful remembrance.”

The mill was located on HellertownAvenue in Quakertown. At the mill, he met Grace BoBoBoBoBoyyyyyererererer,,,,, who also was working there.

Grace’s father was Robert Emery BoBoBoBoBoyyyyyer er er er er and her mother was Anna May (or Mae) TrTrTrTrTrumborumborumborumborumboreeeee. Theyhad 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 Gracewas 19 when they married. Grace’s father, Robert Emery Boyer, objected to the marriage; how-ever, they married despite his objection. Rev. Landis married them in a home located on theupper end of Broad Street in Quakertown. Another couple also was married on the same daywith them. The other bride was the daughter of Carey Fretz, Ruth, the woman who lived withmy mother’s family after her mother died in 1925. Ruth’s husband was Lester Schaffer. Aportrait of the double wedding party appears on the next page.

Wilmer’s and Grace’s first apartment was above the Karlton Theater on Broad Street inQuakertown (the location was subsequently occupied by a Script Drug store). While living atthis location, I, their first son (entry 35, page 78), was born on Monday, New Year’s Day 1934.About a year later, they bought a three-story row home in Trumbauersville, at 21 West BroadStreet. At this location, a second child, a daughter, (entry 36) was born. Two years later, asecond son, Ronald W. (entry 37) was born.

The row home at 21 W. Broad Street had three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room andkitchen and a full, floored attic. The house was electrified, but there was no indoor toilet and norunning water. There was an outdoor “two seater” privy. Water was brought into the house bybuckets from a well behind the house next to the barn. The home was originally heated by apotbelly stove on the first floor. This stove was replaced by a hot water radiator system fired bya coal furnace in the basement.

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

In the summer of 1942, a picture was taken of my mother and her three children, myself, mysister and my brother. The picture was taken in the backyard of our home at 21 West BroadStreet, Trumbauersville, Pa. We stood in front of our neighbor’s (the Mitzlers) flower garden. Acopy of that picture appears on this page.

My father, Wilmer, continued to work in the hosiery mill until 1944 when he was drafted intothe United States Army at the age of 32. He was drafted on March 7, 1944. I have researched hismilitary experience and have included the results of my research in Chapter 6.

My dad was discharged on Septem-ber 12, 1945. He returned homeand resumed work in a hosiery millon 9th Street, Quakertown, Pa. In1947, he bought a new Kaiser au-tomobile, which he replaced witha new Plymouth in 1954.

In the late 1950s, there was laborpressure from non-unionized la-bor which forced many hosierymills to move south. My dad’s millcut its workweek and began to layoff workers. He worked part timefor a number of years and was alsoon unemployment.

My mother later told me that in theearly 1963, my father began to ex-perience severe headaches. Hewas taking a large number of as-pirins to relieve the pain. He madean appointment in the summer of

1963 to see a doctor; however, before he saw the doctor he was rushed to the hospital. He hadextremely high blood pressure and died the day after he was admitted to the hospital. His date ofdeath was Tuesday, July 30, 1963, and he died in the Quakertown Memorial Hospital. He wasonly 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 inTrumbauersville. When she turned 65 in 1978, she sold her house and relocated to a seniorcitizen’s complex, the Grundy House at 1611 Park Avenue, Quakertown, Pa. She remained thereuntil health problems (congestive heart failure) forced her to move to a nursing home.

51

On August 22, 2000, she was admitted to the Rockhill Mennonite Community nursing home inTelford, Pa. Her condition, however, deteriorated and she died at 11:30 AM, Saturday, Septem-ber 9, 2000, fourteen days before her 87th birthday. She was buried at the Union Cemetery inTrumbauersville next to my dad on Thursday, September 14, 2000. A memorial service washeld 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. Itwas 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 in1951. In the early 1950s, many 18-year-old males were being drafted into military service tofight in the Korean War. In the spring of 1953, I received a draft notice to report for my physicalexamination. I passed the physical and was scheduled to be drafted. To avoid being drafted intothe infantry, I enlisted on July 15, 1953, for three years in the Signal Corps so that I could attendelectronics 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 theSignal Corps at Camp Gordon, Georgia where I completed a six-month radio equipment repaircourse. After completion of this training, I was promoted to Private First Class and assigned to aSignal Corps unit at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I served in this unit for about one year and waspromoted to Corporal.

After my promotion, I requested a transfer to the Army Security Agency in Fort Devens, Massa-chusetts to attend another six-month course in electronics. Upon completion of this course, Iwas promoted to Sergeant (Specialist Second Class) and was assigned as an instructor at thisschool. I was discharged in July 1956 and as a veteran of the Korean War received veteranbenefits to attend college.

I enrolled in Lehigh University in September of 1956 as an engineering major. There were aboutten other Korean veterans who were in many of my engineering classes. Since we were aboutfour to five years older then the average freshman and were commuters, we formed our own“fraternity.”

55

Since the GI Bill covered only my tuition, I worked weekends and summers as a painter. Thepainting contractor for whom I worked specialized in restoring greenhouses. Working inside agreenhouse in the summer was hot as H. I swore that I would never again paint any structurethat had a glass roof.

While at Lehigh, I joined an off-campus German/American men’s chorus called the BeethovenMannerchor. Our director, Mr. Herbert Fisk, was a visiting conductor from St. Joseph’s Univer-sity, 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 acceptedemployment 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)CaffarinaCaffarinaCaffarinaCaffarinaCaffarina, who was also a member of the club. On one of our early dates, I took her to a concertperformed 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 dumb-founded. How did they knoweach other? It turned out thatJean sang in Mr. Fisk’s chorus atSt. Joseph’s University, Philadel-phia, Pa. Small world!

Jean and I were married the fol-lowing year on Saturday, Septem-ber 16, 1961.

The summer of 1963 had itshighs and lows. We bought ourfirst home, at 225 Hill Road,Havertown, Pa., in June. My fa-ther, Wilmer H., died suddenly atage 51 on July 30th, and our firstchild, Carolyn, was born twoweeks later on August 18th.

Later that year as part of a Bell-sponsored training program, I at-tended a Business Management

course for engineers conducted at the Wharton School of Business, University of Pa. It was atwo-year night school program that I attended from September 1963 to June 1965.

56

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 formalclassroom studying solid state electronics and high-speed transmission. My assignments at theLabs included the electronic switching and the video transmission departments. This assignmentwas 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 researchwas really “way out.” One of the more memorable presentations dealt with the mating calls ofa certain frog (the precise species eludes me). Maybe it was this type of research that preparedme 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 Analysissection, at 195 Broadway, New York City. After eleven years in engineering, I was excited aboutthis assignment as it meant a career change.

This transfer, however, meant another relocation. We moved to Morris Plains, NJ, a small bor-ough just north of Morristown and purchased a home at 4 Lealand Road. We enjoyed living innorth Jersey and its close proximity to NYC. My office at 195 Broadway in lower Manhattan wasabout a block and a half from the construction site of the World Trade Towers. It was interestingto watch the towers rise from a gigantic hole in the ground to more than 100 floors. (On Sep-tember 11, 2001, I watched television in horror as the towers came crashing down as the resultof 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 myanalysis of their budgets. I met with each company’s Assistant Vice President responsible for theconstruction budget. The Pacific Bell meetings were in San Francisco, the Nevada Bell meetingsin Reno, the Michigan Bell meetings in Detroit, and the Ohio Bell meetings in Cleveland. I trulyenjoyed this assignment.

In January of 1975, I was reassigned to Bell of Pa. We relocated from NJ to Spring House, Pa., asmall 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 maildelivered curbside. The Spring House post office offers only postal boxes.

Between 1975 and 1984, I held a number of engineering and operations assignments, and withthe Divestiture of the Bell System in 1984, I was assigned to the newly- formed regional holdingcompany, Bell Atlantic. I was transferred to the Financial Department of Bell Atlantic in Phila-delphia. My Bell Atlantic responsibilities included capital recovery and rate base pricing. I alsoserved as the Company witness on capital recovery issues during rate case hearings in Harris-burg.

After more than 34 years of service, I decided to retire in September of 1994. I wanted to devotea lot more time to my hobby, genealogy.

My wife, to, had an interesting career. She was working for Allen-Bradley, a manufacturer anddistributor of electronic components, as a sales assistant when we married. She continued towork until our first child was born in 1963. She resumed work in 1978 with our neighbor, John

57

Jones, whose wife, Ellen, died of cancer in 1980, was Jean’s best friend. They started a business inour neighbor’s basement to plan medical symposia offering Continuing Medical Education (CME)credits to the health-care professionals. To obtain CME accreditation, my wife worked with theCME Director of the sponsoring university. She also obtained speakers of the top medical practi-tioners and researchers in the country to present new and innovative medical research. Over theyears, she developed an impressive cadre of speakers.

The business, Symposia Associates, grew rapidly and moved to an office complex in 1980. In1984, 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 ofMedical 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 symposiadepartment 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 andwork only as a consultant. Now she gets to pick and choose her jobs. In 1997, she had meetingsin New Orleans and Walt Disney World and I went along as her “assistant.” No pay but thebenefits are great!

My wife and I continue to reside in the village of Spring House, Upper Dublin Township, Mont-gomery County, Pa., at 1719 Benjamin Drive.

BaBaBaBaBayyyyyer/Boer/Boer/Boer/Boer/Boyyyyyer Genealoer Genealoer Genealoer Genealoer Genealogygygygygy


Research of my Boyer ancestry began with information from my mother and my aunt. My motherrecalled that her father was from a large family and that they lived in Quakertown. She also toldme 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 gaveme the funeral home death notice of one of my mother’s aunts, Estella Boyer.

With this family information I expanded my research by using a number of outside sources. Thefirst source was the vital records on file in the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Their recordsinclude birth and death certificates from the year 1906 to the present. Copies of these recordsare available to “blood relatives.”

I obtained a copy of my grandfather’s (Robert Emery Boyer) death certificate. From this certifi-cate I learned that he was born in Steinsburg, Pa. I also learned that his father’s name was JohnBoyer and that he was born in Montgomery County. The death certificate recorded that Robert’smother was Dianna Wolf and that she was born in Lehigh County. I also obtained a copy of mygreat grandfather’s ( John Boyer) death certificate. From his certificate, I learned that John’sfather was Henry W. Boyer and he was born in Montgomery County. John’s death certificatelisted his mother as “Miss Hersh.” I assume her name was recorded as Miss to indicated thatHersh was her maiden name.

Tomb stone inscriptions were my second source of information. During a visit to the ChristUnion 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 Isaw the tombstones for John Boyer and his wife Dianna. In front of Dianna’s tombstone wereher parents’ tombstones, Conrad Wolf and his wife.

To the left of William’s tombstone was a marker for Horace Boyer. The only inscription was hisage, 34. Because of the location of Horace’s grave, I assume that he was another son of JohnBoyer.

A third source of information was the federal census records. A census is conducted every tenyears beginning in 1790. The information in these records is available to the general public forthe years 1790 through 1930. Microfilm copies of these census records are available at mosthistorical libraries. Under federal law, census records after 1930 are not available to the generalpublic. 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 JohnBoyer and his family in the 1900 census. John and his wife Dianna were recorded as having 12children, but only 7 were living in 1900. The census recorded the names of five of their children

87

along with their birth month, year and age. The census also recorded the occupations of eachfamily member.

In the 1920 census, I found the families of Robert Emery Boyer and Eugene W. Boyer, sons ofJohn 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, pub-lished in 1940 by the Reverend Charles C. Boyer. I was able to find a listing in this book for JohnBoyer and his wife, Dianna Wolf. It also listed John’s ancestors, back to his great-grandfatherAndreas 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 num-ber of old German Church records from Bucks and Montgomery Counties for the years 1729-1870 have been recorded on Compact Disks (CDs) by the Broderbund Company and can besearched 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) toMadeline Wisler on May 10, 1795. I also was able to verify the marriage of one of AndreasBayer’s sons, Andreas, Jr., to Catharine Jacobs on May 22, 1808.

My Boyer genealogy begins with the emigrant, my 4th great-grandfather, Andrew Boyer (AndreasBayer in Germany). A listing of his descendants appears in the genealogy report beginning onpage 107. The report includes ten generations and 278 descendants. Andrew is listed as entrynumber 1.



1. Andr1. Andr1. Andr1. Andr1. Andreeeeew Bow Bow Bow Bow Boyyyyyererererer

Andrew Boyer (Andreas Bayer in German) was born in the Palatinate, Germany. This region wasa division of Bavaria, Germany. The Palatinate of Bavaria can be seen on an old map of Germanyon the following page. It is located in the southwestern part of Germany between Baden and theRhine Province. Bavaria spelled in German is “Bayern.”

According to the genealogy in American Boyers by Charles C. Boyer, Andrew emigrated in the1725-1735 time period. He settled in Montgomery County and was a member of the NewGoshenhoppen Lutheran Church, also known as St. Paul’s, in Red Hill, Upper Hanover Town-ship, Montgomery Co., Pa. On July 5, 1752, he was elected as an Elder to the church.

The exact date of Andrew’s birth is not known. However, according to the research of CharlesC. Boyer, we know that Andrew was elected as an Elder to his church on July 5, 1752. If weassume that as an Elder he was at least 40 years old, he would have been born in 1712. We alsoknow from prior research that Andrew’s first child was born in 1753. Assuming 25 years be-tween generations, Andrew’s birth year would have been 1728.

88

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

GerGerGerGerGermanmanmanmanmany in the 1800sy in the 1800sy in the 1800sy in the 1800sy in the 1800s(from The Making of the Modern World, pub. 1956)

Finally, Charles C. Boyer’s research recorded that two of his five children born to his second wifewere 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 Andrew’s year of birth would be1715. With that birth year, Andrew would have been at least 20 years of age when he emi-grated, 38 when his first child was born and 44 when elected as an Elder to the church. Also, hewould have been 56 years old when his last child was born. These ages are reasonable, thussupporting my assumed birth year of 1715.

As noted earlier, Andrew settled in Upper Hanover Township of Montgomery County. UpperHanover is adjacent to Milford Township in Bucks County (see County Map, page ix). It isinteresting to note that Milford Township was where Lewis Gretzinger, my 2nd great-grandfa-ther, 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.

Andrew’s first marriage was to Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) and took place approxi-mately 1752. This assumption is based on the birth year of their first son, Thomas, who was bornNovember 7, 1753 (entry number 2 on the genealogy report, page 107). Less than six yearsafter the birth of their first child, Andrew’s wife, Elizabeth, died on March 23, 1759.

Andrew’s second wife was Dorothy Gabel.Gabel.Gabel.Gabel.Gabel. They were married on December 22, 1759. Fromthis marriage, Andrew had five sons, John Peter, Andreas, George, Michael and Henry, entriesnumber 3 through 7 on the genealogy report, page 107.

Andrew died in Pennsburg, Montgomery County, Pa. The date of his death is not known.



Six second generation Boyers have been identified to date. They are listed as entries 2 through 7on the genealogy report, page 107. The second generation includes the son, Thomas, born toAndrew and his first wife, Elizabeth (maiden name unknown), and the five sons born to Andrewand his second wife, Dorothy GabelGabelGabelGabelGabel.

41. John H. Bo41. John H. Bo41. John H. Bo41. John H. Bo41. John H. Boyyyyyererererer

John H. Boyer was born in Montgomery County, Pa. on Wednesday, May 8, 1844, in New HanoverTownship and was baptized by the Rev. Frederick Waage. The sponsors were Adam and SusanMillerMillerMillerMillerMiller. Rev. Waage later confirmed him at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa.

He married Dianna WWWWWolfolfolfolfolf, who was born in Lehigh County on Wednesday, February 28, 1849.Her father was Conrad WWWWWolfolfolfolfolf and her mother was Catharine ShellShellShellShellShellyyyyy. John and Dianna weremarried on Saturday, June 4, 1864, in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa. He was 20 yearsold when they married and she was 15 years and three months. Her age when she married isbased on the birth date that I obtained from her death certificate and the marriage date recordedin the parish record book at St. Paul’s Church, page 443.

John was a farmer who had a large family to support. The 1900 census recorded that John andDianna had twelve children, seven of whom had survived to 1900. The census listed five of theliving children. I believe there was another son, named Horace, who was buried in the ChristUnion Cemetery, Trumbauersville. There was another daughter named Kate, as recorded onpage 337 of the book American Boyers published in 1940 by Rev. Charles C. Boyer. Thus, of thetwelve 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 inQuakertown, Pa. The actual location was 112 Erie Ave., as recorded on Dianna’s death certifi-cate. Living with John and his family were a granddaughter, Ella WWWWWeisseisseisseisseiss, age ten born July 1889and a one-year-old grandson, Ralph CristCristCristCristCrist (ChristyChristyChristyChristyChristy), born in November 1898. There were alsothree boarders: William Kraft Kraft Kraft Kraft Kraft (age 25), born in December 1874, Charles WWWWWetmeetmeetmeetmeetmeyyyyyer er er er er (age 31),born in May 1869 and Fred Rice Rice Rice Rice Rice (age 44), born in May 1856.

The census also recorded that John’s wife, Dianna, could not read or write, but she could under-stand 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 hisdeath certificate was “Posterior Spinal Sclerosis.” The attending physician was Dr. J. R. Almstedof 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 Johnand Dianna were buried in the Christ Union Cemetery, Bucks County, Trumbauersville, Pa. Inaddition, Dianna’s parents, Conrad and Catharine (nee Shelly) WWWWWolfolfolfolfolf, also were buried there.

During a visit to the Christ Union Cemetery in Trumbauersville, I found a tombstone for HoraceBoyer. The only inscription was his age, 36. Since the marker was next to that of John H.

128. Estella Bo128. Estella Bo128. Estella Bo128. Estella Bo128. Estella Boyyyyyererererer

Estella was born in September 1876 as recorded in the 1900 census. This census also recordedthat two children were living with Estella’s parents, John and Dianna Boyer. One was a grand-daughter, Ella WWWWWeisseisseisseisseiss,,,,, age ten born in July 1889 and the second was a grandson, Ralph CristCristCristCristCrist(Christy)(Christy)(Christy)(Christy)(Christy), age one born in November 1898.

I believe that these two children were those of Estella. Thus, Estella’s first husband was a WWWWWeisseisseisseisseissand Ella was their daughter. It is not known if WWWWWeisseisseisseisseiss died or if they divorced. Estella’s secondhusband was “Christy”“Christy”“Christy”“Christy”“Christy” (this spelling was obtained from Estella’s funeral notice). I assume thatthe grandchild recorded as Ralph CristCristCristCristCrist was Estella’s 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 ChristyChristyChristyChristyChristy. Treffinger’sFuneral Home, Quakertown, Pa., handled the funeral arrangements. She was buried on Sunday,April 23, 1944, at Quakertown Union Cemetery, Quakertown, Pa.

As recorded in the 1900 census, Eugene was born in September 1880. In the 1920 Quakertowncensus, his wife and three children were listed. His wife’s name was Ida L. (maiden name un-known).

The census recorded that the family lived on Erie Avenue. It is not known if this was the samehouse where his father, John, lived. Since John died in 1913, his son, Eugene, may have takenover the house.

Eugene’s occupation as recorded in the 1920 census was “machinist” in the agricultural indus-try. He probably repaired farm equipment.

The census also recorded that he was a bartender in a hotel. The location of the hotel is notknown, but it could have been the Eagle Hotel where his brother, Robert, lived at the time of his,Robert’s, death in 1913.

132. Rober132. Rober132. Rober132. Rober132. Robert Emert Emert Emert Emert Emery Boy Boy Boy Boy Boyyyyyererererer

My grandfather, Robert Emery Boyer, was born in Steinsberg, Pa. on Sunday, August 19, 1883.In 1904, he married Anna May (or Mae) TrTrTrTrTrumborumborumborumborumboreeeee, daughter of Henry Trumbore and CarolineTrTrTrTrTrucucucucuckkkkkenmillerenmillerenmillerenmillerenmiller. Anna, who was born on Saturday, February 11, 1881, was 23 when she marriedRobert. 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 189and 190, page 117). It also recorded that there was a third child (entry 188) that had died priorto 1910. Subsequent to the 1910 census, three additional children were born, Jeanette (entry191), Paul (entry 192) and Grace (entry 193).

Robert and his family later lived in a home near the railroad crossing at the lower end ofQuakertown, known as “Fairview.” This house is no longer standing. The home in Fairview hada kitchen, dining room, living room and three bedrooms and was heated by a large potbelly stovefueled by wood and coal. There was no electricity; oil lights were used for lighting. The familyraised chickens, ducks and geese. There was a cellar, which Robert used as a location for a still tomake illegal liquor during prohibition.

My mother, Grace, recalled that one of her father’s (Robert’s) customers for the illegal liquorwas the family doctor. On one occasion, he was arrested for making illegal liquor, but the judgedid not put him in prison. Instead, they went to the judge’s home for a weekend of drinking.

It appears that making “booze” was not Robert’s official occupation, as the 1910 census re-corded 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 whereit 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. Shewas buried at St. John’s Lutheran Church Cemetery in Quakertown, Pa. I attempted to obtain acopy of her death certificate from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Vital Statistics but was advisedthat a copy of her death was not recorded in their files.

About a year after Anna’s death, the remaining family members posed for a portrait. This is aninteresting portrait as the photographer added a picture of Anna to the photo so the entire familywould 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 offBroad Street in Quakertown. Later, he lived at the Eagle Hotel in Quakertown and was livingthere 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

102

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 Quakertownfor ten days before his death. He was 59 years old when he died.

His funeral was held at “Treffinger’s Funeral Home” in Quakertown, and he was buried at St. John’sLutheran Church in Quakertown next to his wife, Anna. The parish records for St. John’s, however,do not have a record of their burials. This is probably because they were not members of this Church.

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 Trumborefamily. I attempted to obtain a copy of grandmother Trumbore’s death certificate, but I wasadvised that “… a record of this death has not been located in the Vital Records files of theCommonwealth of Pennsylvania.” I was, however, able to obtain a copy of the funeral bill forher death. The bill recorded that my grandmother’s father’s name was Henry Trumbauer, mygreat-grandfather. The surname spelling, however, was incorrect. I learned from his deathcertificate that the surname was spelled “TrTrTrTrTrumborumborumborumborumboreeeee” and/or “DrDrDrDrDrumborumborumborumborumboreeeee.” Drumbore was thetypical German spelling of the surname.

Using church and census records, I was able to trace the Trumbore genealogy to my 2nd great-grandfather, Joseph Trumbore. As noted above, the surname was spelled “Drumbore” on vari-ous 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 Descendantsof Andrew Trumbore who emigrated in the early 1700s. It included four generations ofTrumbores. I used Price’s 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 Price’sgenealogy. Through the use of census data, I believe I have made a connection between Price’sgenealogy and my ancestor, Joseph Trumbore. This connection is discussed in greater detaillater in this chapter.

The Drumbore/Trumbore genealogy begins with the emigrant, Andrew Trumbore. Andrew’sdescendants are listed on the genealogy report at the end of this chapter, beginning on page 151.Andrew is listed as entry number 1.



1. Andr1. Andr1. Andr1. Andr1. Andreeeeew Trw Trw Trw Trw Trumborumborumborumborumboreeeee

Andrew was born in Germany about 1700. According to Price’s genealogy, his name in Ger-many was Andreas Drumbore, and he emigrated from the Rhineland Palatinate to Pennsylvaniasometime between 1724 and 1727. The Palatinate was a former division of Bavaria. The map ofGermany in the 1800s (see page 88) shows the Rhine Province. It is my understanding that thisprovince was the Rhineland Palatinate (the Rheinland Pfalz in German).

129

After his arrival in America, Andrew was naturalized in Philadelphia about 1738-39. At thesame time, some of his neighbors were also naturalized. They were Yost Cope, William Hauckand George Cressman.

According to Price, in 1728, he purchased 205 acres of land on the west side of what today isthe Borough of Telford, Montgomery County, Pa. The tract of land took in most of the areawithin today’s 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 theTrumbore’s 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 isnot known when Andrew, Sr. died or where he was buried. Price notes that Andrew’s burial sitemay have been in the Furhman Graveyard on the farm of Jacob Furhman, a neighbor and theoldest burial ground in this area.

Andrew was my 6th great-grandfather.



Only two second-generation Trumbores have been identified to date. They are the sons of An-drew Trumbore, Sr., Andrew Jr. (entry 2) and Peter (entry 3), page 151.

2. Andr2. Andr2. Andr2. Andr2. Andreeeeew Trw Trw Trw Trw Trumborumborumborumborumboreeeee,,,,, Jr Jr Jr Jr Jr.....

According to Price’s genealogy, Andrew, Jr. was born between 1723 and 1728. Price also notedthat Andrew, Jr.’s father, Andrew, Sr., emigrated between 1724 and 1728. Thus, Andrew, Jr. mayhave been born in Germany or in America.

Andrew, Jr. was my 5th great-grandfather. He married Louisa (maiden name unknown) about1745. Andrew and Louisa had eight children, five sons and three daughters. All five sons servedin the Militia during the War of the Revolution.

As noted above, Andrew purchased his father’s 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 thetime.

According to Price’s book, sometime after Andrew, Jr. purchased the farm, he sold five acres tohis brother-in-law, Peter TrTrTrTrTrollinollinollinollinollingggggererererer..... However, the genealogy of Andrew Trumbore, Jr. showsthat his daughter, Sophia Trumbore (entry 4), married Peter Trollinger. Therefore, Peter Trollingerwas Andrew, Jr.’s son-in-law, and not his brother-in-law.

130

Price also wrote that in 1790 Andrew, Jr. sold 100 acres of land to his daughter and her hus-band, Henry CasselCasselCasselCasselCassel. The only daughter whose husband was not identified in the Price genealogywas Anna Elizabeth (entry 11). I believe, therefore, that it was Anna and her husband, HenryCassel, 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 thecontribution 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 hisEstate. It is not known where he was buried. Price recorded the death of Andrew, Jr’s. wife,Louisa, on Monday, January 5, 1801. She was about 65 years old when she died. It is not knownwhere she was buried.

Price observed that many descendants of Andrew, Jr. lived in the North Penn area of Bucks andMontgomery Counties, and they were found buried in the cemeteries of that area between Lansdaleand Quakertown. Based on Price’s observation, I believe that I am a descendant of this branch ofthe Trumbore family as my great-grandfather and 2nd great-grandfather Trumbores were bur-ied in Perkasie, Bucks County, Pa. Perkasie is located in the area between Lansdale andQuakertown.

3. Peter Tr3. Peter Tr3. Peter Tr3. Peter Tr3. Peter Trumborumborumborumborumboreeeee

Peter was born about 1728. He was my 5th great-granduncle. Around 1745, Peter marriedMaria BeiscBeiscBeiscBeiscBeischerherherherher, daughter of Adam and Anna BeiscBeiscBeiscBeiscBeischerherherherher.

Peter and Maria had three children, a daughter and twin sons. According to the NewGoshenhoppen Lutheran Church records, one of the twins, Johann Adam, was born a half hourbefore his brother, Conrad.

Price, however, wrote that the twins were baptized in the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Red Hill,Pa. Thus, he feels that the family lived either in Upper Hanover Township or MarlboroughTownship, in the upper part of then Philadelphia County, now Montgomery County. Price alsonotes 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.



Research to date has identified eleven third generation Trumbore ancestors. These Trumbores are iden-tified as entries number 4 through 14 on the Trumbore genealogy report, page 151. They are thechildren 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 adescendant of Andrew Trumbore, III, entry number 9 on the genealogy report. Andrew Trumbore, IIIwas a son of Andrew Trumbore, Jr. and his wife Louisa.

The oldest child of Andrew Trumbore, Jr. and Louisa was Sophia, born June 8, 1746. About1765, she married Peter TrTrTrTrTrollinollinollinollinollingggggererererer. . . . . Price believes that Peter was the son of Eberhard TrTrTrTrTrollinollinollinollinollingggggererererer.Sophia and Peter had thirteen children, seven males and six females. They resided in FranconiaTownship, Montgomery County, Pa.

On Monday, June 29, 1819, Sophia died at the age of 73. She was buried at the Tohickon UnionCemetery, Bucks County, Pa. Peter was born about 1745 and died at the age of 75 in 1820.

John, my 4th great-granduncle, was born in 1748. It is not known if he married. He resided inRockhill 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, page367. His brother, Andrew III, was appointed Executor, with his brothers and sisters sharing inhis estate.

6. Catharine Tr6. Catharine Tr6. Catharine Tr6. Catharine Tr6. Catharine Trumborumborumborumborumboreeeee

According to Charles H. Price’s genealogy, Catharine was born about 1750. At the age of eigh-teen, she married Jacob MacMacMacMacMackkkkk on December 4, 1768. They had at least one child, a son. Her dateof death is not known.

7. J7. J7. J7. J7. Jacob Tracob Tracob Tracob Tracob Trumborumborumborumborumboreeeee

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. Itis 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 herhusband, Jacob, died.

8. Georg8. Georg8. Georg8. Georg8. George Tre Tre Tre Tre Trumborumborumborumborumboreeeee

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 inter-esting 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 CasselCasselCasselCasselCassel. They had two children, a sonand a daughter. Price’s genealogy recorded that Susanna was the daughter of Henry Cassel.Price’s book also recorded that Andrew Trumbore, Jr. (George’s father) sold 100 acres to his son-in-law, Henry Cassel, who married Anna Elizabeth Trumbore, (entry 11) daughter of George

132

Trumbore. It is very likely that the Henry Cassel who bought the 100 acres of land from AndrewTrumbore was a son of Henry Cassel (Sr.) who was the father of Susanna Cassel who married GeorgeTrumbore. Therefore, Susanna Cassel and Henry Cassel, Jr. were probably brother and sister.

Based on this genealogy, the brother and sister CasselsCasselsCasselsCasselsCassels (Henry, Jr. and Susanna) married sisterand brother TrTrTrTrTrumborumborumborumborumbores es es es es (Anna Elizabeth and George), respectively.

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 fromJohn King a tavern and five acres of land in what is now Mainland, Pa. Mainland is located inMontgomery 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 wasabout 65 when she died.

Andrew was a farmer. He and his wife had nine children, six males and three females. Theirbaptisms 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. WillBook No. 12, page 570), about a month after his death on Thursday, September 17, 1846, at theage of 89. It is believed that he was buried at the Jerusalem Church Cemetery, Almont, BucksCo., Pa. His wife also was buried there; however, the date of her death is unknown.

Catharine was born on September 27, 1788. She was baptized in the Tohickon Reformed Churchon 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 believedthat she never married.

She died on Sunday, February 20, 1870, at that age of 82 and was buried in the same cemeteryas her parents, Jerusalem Church.

42. Andr42. Andr42. Andr42. Andr42. Andreeeeew Trw Trw Trw Trw Trumborumborumborumborumbore IVe IVe IVe IVe IV

Andrew Trumbore IV was born December 2, 1790, probably in Montgomery County, Pa. At theage of 20 on Sunday, December 2, 1810, he married Elizabeth GetmanGetmanGetmanGetmanGetman at the Tohickon Re-formed Church, Bedminster Township, Bucks Co., Pa. She was 18 when they married.

Price’s genealogy does not list any children born to Andrew IV and Elizabeth. Another genealo-gist (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 therewas 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. Myanalysis of various census and church records as detailed below shows why I believe Joseph wasa 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 wife’s age was listed as 40-50. Unfortunately, the1840 census lists only the names of the heads of the household. It does not list the names of thespouse 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 hadone 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 theabove 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 onthis analysis, I believe that Joseph is the son of Andrew and Elizabeth Drumbore (Trumbore).

136

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 thatAbraham could not be the father of Joseph as he, Abraham, had a son (Henry, entry 72) bornAugust 7, 1819. Since Joseph was born on November 16, 1819, both Henry and Joseph couldnot 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 timeof 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. Ibelieve this listing is for Andrew III, born January 2, 1757. He would have been 83 at the time ofthis census.

The 1840 census for West Rockhill Township, Bucks County recorded a head of household namedGeorge Drumbore, age 30-40 and a female between 30-40, undoubtedly his wife. There wasone sonone sonone sonone sonone son, age 15-20, and four daughters, ages under 5, 5-10 (two females), and 10-15. The Pricegenealogy listed only one George born in this time period. He was born in 1797, making him 43at the time of the 1840 census. This George Drumbore, however, had thrthrthrthrthree sonsee sonsee sonsee sonsee sons and two daugh-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 age10. Also listed was a Sylvestor Trumbore, age 27. Price’s genealogy recorded that GeorgeTrumbore and Elizabeth had three sons, Sylvestor, Theophilus and George. Price did not listHillarius. Neither this census nor Price included a male by the name of Joseph. Therefore, Ibelieve that George Trumbore was not Joseph’s 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.

It is not known if Isaac and Hannah had any children. Since they were in their forties when theymarried, it is possible that they decided not to have any children.

Isaac’s wife died on Thursday, March 2, 1865, at the age of 65. She was buried at JerusalemChurch Cemetery. Five years later on Sunday, September 18, 1870, Isaac died at the age of 72.He was also buried at Jerusalem Church Cemetery.

Henry was born on Saturday, March 13, 1847, in South Perkasie, Bucks County, Pa. He was theoldest of three sons. At the age of 19, Henry enlisted in the Union Army. His military recordrecorded 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 foronly four months, as his muster-out date was July 30, 1865. A copy of his military recordappears below. The muster-out roll recorded his discharge at the Delang House, located in Wash-ington, DC. His granddaughter, Ruth Trumbore, said that Henry was assigned to guard Presi-dent 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 apacker. Eight years later on Friday, December 5, 1873, at the age of 26 he married CarolineTrTrTrTrTrucucucucuckkkkkenmillerenmillerenmillerenmillerenmiller,,,,, born on Saturday, September 9, 1854, making her 19 when she married Henry.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 inPerkasie, Pa., were married in Delaware. According to her granddaughter, Ruth Trumbore,Caroline was deaf, but it is not known for how long. Caroline’s father was named Charles andwas born in Germany.

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 thatJoseph Trumbore, Henry’s father, owned the adjoining property.

The 1920 census recorded that Henry and Caroline were living on Third Street in Perkasie. Alsoin the house were his daughter, Carrie, and his two grandsons, Carrie’s children, Henry andDonald.

Twelve months later in June 1929, the American Legion celebrated the 50th Anniversary ofPerkasie. Among the organizations honored was the Washington Dengler Post No. 622, GrandArmy of the Republic. The charter for Post 622 was granted March 31, 1894, with eighteenmembers. One of those members was Henry Trumbore. In 1929, only Henry and one othercharter member, John Swartz, were still living. Henry was 82 at the time of this celebration. Apicture 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 certificatelisted his death as “acute la grippe with hyparatic pneumonia.” He was sick for nine days fromJanuary 16th to January 25th and was attended by Dr. Vincent Z. Deiler of Harleysville, Pa.

With the death of Henry on January 25, 1931, hewas dropped from the pension roll. When he diedhis military pension was $75 per month. Todaythe pension would be equivalent to $830 per monthat a 3.5% annual inflation rate.

His place of death was recorded as Souderton,Montgomery County, Pa. It is not known where inSouderton he lived, but one of his daughters,Minerva, who married Allen Landis, lived inSouderton. It is probable that Henry went to livewith Minerva and her family after the death of hiswife, Caroline.

According to Henry’s death certificate, he was buried on Thursday, January 29, 1931, at theSouth Perkasie Cemetery, Perkasie, Pa., as was his wife. The informant was Frank L. Knoll, whowas the Undertaker listed on the death certificate.

I have not been able to locate Henry’s or Caroline’s burial sites at the South Perkasie Cemetery. Itis possible that Henry and Caroline were buried at the South Perkasie Cemetery without a head-stone. Ruth Trumbore, his granddaughter, said they were buried at St. Andrew’s Cemetery inPerkasie. I have researched St. Andrew’s records and walked through the cemetery but havebeen unable to find his burial site.

Carrie was born on Saturday, March 28, 1891, in Perkasie. Her first husband was William KelmseKelmseKelmseKelmseKelmseyyyyy.....It is not known if William died or if Carrie divorced him. There was a son, Donald, born in 1906(Carrie would have been about 16) that may have been William’s. In the 1920 census, a Donaldborn in 1906 was listed as a son of Carrie (nee Trumbore) Harr. Donald was shown in thecensus as a grandson of Henry and Caroline Trumbore.

About 1912, Carrie married Allen HarHarHarHarHarrrrrr. . . . . She and Allen had a son, Henry, born in 1913. I believethat Allen was a descendant of John HarHarHarHarHarr r r r r who was born in Bucks County in 1837. He was theson of Tobias HarHarHarHarHarrrrrr and Sophia HarHarHarHarHartzell.tzell.tzell.tzell.tzell. John was the fifth child in a family of six children.

In 1887, he decided to leave the hotelbusiness and purchased a farm in Hilltown Township,Bucks County. But he was not content on the farmand left to re-enter the hotel business. He rented theWashington House in Sellersville, Rockhill Township,Bucks County. It was said that the hotel lost nothingunder his proprietorship. A photo of the WashingtonHouse from an old postcard is shown to the left.

I have not been able to make a definite connection of Allen HarHarHarHarHarr r r r r to John HarHarHarHarHarr r r r r or his descendants.However, since the John HarHarHarHarHarr r r r r family was in the Sellersville area and Allen was in the Perkasiearea (these two communities are located next to each other in the township), I believe that Allenis connected to John. It is also very likely that Allen met his wife, Carrie TrTrTrTrTrumborumborumborumborumboreeeee,,,,, in this area ofthe township.

In the 1920 census, it was recorded that Carrie and her two sons, Henry and Donald, were livingwith her parents, Henry and Caroline Trumbore. The census listed her as “married.” Becauseshe was not listed as “divorced” or “widowed”, it appears she may have separated from Allen. Itis not known when Allen or Carrie died.

Huber GenealoHuber GenealoHuber GenealoHuber GenealoHuber Genealogygygygygy


Of all my great-grandparents, the only one I remember was my great-grandmother, EmmaRebecca (nee Dubbs) Huber. In her last few years, she came to live with my grandmother (herdaughter), Ellen, aka Ella, Gretzinger.

When I began my Huber research, I knew very little about Emma or my Huber ancestors. Mycousin, Ray A. Huber, however, has traced the Huber line to Switzerland. He has identified theemigrants and researched the Huber line for a number of generations in Switzerland. He andhis wife visited Switzerland and were able to document much of the Huber line from officialrecords in Switzerland.

Records of the Huber family in Switzerland are also from the Huber/Naef Genealogy by JuliusBilleter, 1910. They were compiled from Hausen ab Albis church records, Switzerland.

My Huber genealogy begins with the three Huber brothers who emigrated from Switzerland andsettled 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 theend of this chapter, beginning on page 191. Hans is listed as entry number 1.



1. Hans Rudolph Huber1. Hans Rudolph Huber1. Hans Rudolph Huber1. Hans Rudolph Huber1. Hans Rudolph Huber,,,,, Jr Jr Jr Jr 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 HansRudolph 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 Au-gust 19, 1747. Ship records indicate, however, that all three returned to Switzerland the follow-ing year. It appears they returned to Switzerland in 1748 when they learned that their fatherwas either close to death or was dead.

The following year, the three brothers returned to America on the ship, “Priscilla,” from Rotterdamand arrived at the Port of Philadelphia in September 1749. The ship’s Captain was WilliamMeier.

164

It appears that Hans settled in Philadelphia as he married Annah (Anna) Elizabeth BaerBaerBaerBaerBaer in the GermantownReformed Church, Philadelphia, on July 22, 1753. Annah was also from Switzerland and was born onDecember 8, 1726. Hans was 31 years old when he married Annah, and she was 27. They had fivechildren. 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 recordedin 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 wasCaptain of the 5th Company, 2nd Battalion, for Lower Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. Hansserved 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 dateas March 29, 1779, and his age as 56 years, 10 months and 4 weeks. Based on his birth date, alsorecorded in the church records, his death date would have been March 29, 1779, the same day as hisburial. It was possible that Hans was buried the same day he died, but I tend to think that he probablydied a few days before he was buried. There was probably an error in the recording of his age in thechurch 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 4,000pounds, which would have made him a rather wealthy man at that time. Today, that amount wouldbe 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.



Six second generation descendants of Hans Rudolph Huber, Jr. have been identified. They are listed asentries 2 through 7 on the genealogy report page 191 and are identified as the children of HansRudolph Huber, Jr. and Annah Elizabeth Baer.....

The first child, a daughter, was born on November 29, 1783, in Bucks County, Pa. Her first givenname began with the letter “A.” The complete name is not known. Her middle name was Catharineso I will refer to her as Catharine. On March 18, 1784, Catharine was baptized in the GreatSwamp Reformed Church in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa.

As noted above, Catharine’s father moved to Ohio after the death of his first wife. I believe theymoved west after 1806 since her brother, John, was married in 1806 in Lehigh County, Pa. Healso moved west, probably with his father.

Around 1807, Catharine married Solomon ShullShullShullShullShull, sometimes spelled ScScScScScholl.holl.holl.holl.holl. Solomon was born on February 10,1782, and was about 25 when he married Catharine. She was about 24. I believe they were married in Ohio.

Catharine and her husband had eleven children that I believe were all born in Ohio. Catharine died about1825 at the age of 42 in Fairfield County, Ohio. It appears she died as the result of childbirth as her last childwas born on Monday, November 7, 1825. Solomon lived to the age of 94 having passed away on Thursday,September 7, 1876.

Three years later, John died on Friday, August 31, 1838, at the age of 52. Family history notesindicated that he was buried in the Peter-Haas Cemetery, Fairfield County, Ohio. John’s fatherhad died three months before on Monday, May 28, 1838, and was buried in the Peter-HaasCemetery, Fairfield County, Ohio. It is probable that after his death, John Jr.’s body was moved toOhio to be buried with his father.

The first child of John and Anna was John S., born on Friday, February 15, 1811, in FairfieldCounty, Ohio. He attended Jefferson College in Cannonsburg, Pa. and became a lawyer. OnSaturday, July 6, 1839, he married Harriet Atwood NeNeNeNeNewwwwwell.ell.ell.ell.ell. The marriage took place in BerlinTownship, Delaware County, Ohio. When they were married, John was 28 years old and Harrietwas 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. Johncontinued on horseback to Cedar County, Iowa, where he purchased land. In early 1840, hereturned to Geneese for his wife arriving back in Iowa on Saturday, March 21, 1840. John wasa lawyer in the firm “Huber & Wolf.” He was twice elected Prosecuting Attorney of CedarCounty, Iowa.

There is some confusion regarding John’s middle name. In some official records, his name wasrecorded as “John Huber” or “John Huber III.” The Huber Family Bible, however, recorded amiddle initial of “L” or “S.” According to Marita Huber-Kennedy, who provided these notesabout 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. Hewas buried in the Masonic Cemetery in Tipton, Iowa. His wife, Harriet, lived to the age of 80having passed away on Thursday, April 5, 1900. She also was buried in Iowa.

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

The first child, a son Rufus, was born on Saturday, October 28, 1843. His death certificate listedhis place of birth as Falkner Township, Berks County, Pa. He was confirmed at the age of 17 inthe 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 toCompany I, 213 PA Infantry. A copy of his volunteer enlistment appears on this page. Note thathis surname was spelled “Huver.” His military record noted that he had light hair, gray eyes, andlight 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 forSusquehanna Co., Pa., listed Rufus as liv-ing in a hotel. His occupation was cigarmaker. In the same hotel with the sameoccupation was a Michael Hoff. There isa Michael Hoff, son of John Hoff andCatherine Weidemoyer, born in 1840.This Michael Hoff was my 2nd great-granduncle. Rufus Huber was my halfgreat-granduncle.

On Monday, June 29, 1874, at the age of30, Rufus married Elizabeth (aka Lizzy)SacSacSacSacSacksksksksks (she was 24). She was born onWednesday, August 29, 1849. They weremarried by Rev. John Chambers of 1138Girard Street, Philadelphia, Pa. His de-nomination was “Presbyterian.”

Rufus and Lizzy had four children, threesons and a daughter. One of the sons diedprior to 1898. Their daughter, Estella, wasborn in July 1878. Four years after thebirth of her daughter (1882), Elizabeth

left Rufus. In an affidavit she filed for a widow’s pension in 1923 (as discussed below), she listedthe following reasons for leaving Rufus: he would do nothing but gamble, get drunk and abuseher. He would not pay their rent so they were forced to live in one room with a next doorneighbor. Her baby had diphtheria and died. The affidavit recorded that her oldest son wasseven at this time, making his birth year 1875/76. The age of the other son was not listed.

174

Because Elizabeth could not support her two sons and daughter, Rufus’ parents took Estella, whowas about four years old, to live with them. However, when she was eleven (1889) a couple inNew Milford, Pa, adopted her.

Rufus applied for a Civil War pension on Monday, October 17, 1898. In the application, he re-corded that Elizabeth was his only wife, that he had three living children and that he had not livedwith 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 wasalready a pensioner (Certificate No. 905523). This filing was probably for a pension increase. Hewas now living in the vicinity of Tylersport, Montgomery County, Pa. A second declaration wasfiled 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 hisplace of death as Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pa. He was buried in Christ UnionCemetery, Trumbauersville, Pa. on Sunday, March 25th.

The following month on Wednesday, April 11, 1923, Rufus’ widow, Elizabeth, filed for a widow’spension. 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 widow’s pension. Asnoted above, the affidavit included her reasons for leaving Rufus. It also recorded that herhusband’s true surname was “Huber.”

Elizabeth died thirteen years after her application for a widow’s 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, Philadel-phia, Pa. She was buried on Friday, January 24, 1936, in North Cedar Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia.

Oswin attended the Keystone State Normal School (later Kutztown State Teachers College andnow Kutztown University) from 1882 to 1885, graduating in 1885 as one of 29 with a two-yearteaching certificate. He was one of the class orators at graduation.

The year after graduation from college, he married Emma Rebecca DubbsDubbsDubbsDubbsDubbs on Thursday, January28, 1886, in Christ Church, Cressman. Emma was the daughter of Aaron G. DubbsDubbsDubbsDubbsDubbs and EllamandaZieZieZieZieZiegggggenfenfenfenfenfussussussussuss and was born on Monday, December 9, 1867, in Milford Township, Bucks County,Pa. When they married, Oswin was 19 years old and Emma was 18. Their first of ten childrenwas 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 possessionof my cousin, Ray A. Huber. Ray transcribed the diary and made copies available to family mem-bers. The diary, written the year he married Emma, contains entries for every single day of theyear. It contained mostly weather observations and unusual cloud formations. Oswin also docu-mented the successes of his hunting and fishing endeavors. As Ray noted in his transcript, therewere few references in Oswin’s diary to his parents or to his feelings toward his future wife, Emma.

For example, the news that Emma was pregnant and they would have to marry was recorded asfollows. “Jan. 9, Sat. at home; got up earlier than usual. Awfully stormy & snow all in drifts. Ourchimney caught fire. Saw it just in time. Helped to clean snow from 5:30 to 7. To store. Mail cameat 9:40. Mother and I had intended to go to the City. Shoveled snow from 10 ‘til dinner. After dinnerwe 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, the28th. Clear at ten. Snowed very fast at 11. ***Snow & Cloudy***.”

Nine days later he recorded that he had a discussion with Emma’s father, Aaron G. Dubbs, about theirmarriage that was set for January 28th. On their wedding day, Oswin recorded, “Jan. 28 Thr. Athome; out to Dubbs in morning. Home and got ready. Out again ‘til 8. Went over to Waage where wegot married. He was glad to see us. Took dinner. Cora made us pay toll. Charles took my team homeafter dinner. Rained fine whole day. Southeasterly winds. ***Rain***.”

As noted earlier, the diary provided no indication as to Oswin’s feelings toward Emma. However, theyhad ten children over the next 13 years. Then in 1904, Oswin said he was going to visit the St. LouisWorld’s Fair. He took with him about $1,300, some of which he borrowed from Emma’s father, Aaron

Dubbs. This money was probably the entire family savings. Today, assuming an annual3.5% 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. Thenewspaper 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 postalroute as she rode with him from her home in Quakertown to her job as a tobacco stripper inTrumbauersville.

The newspaper also reported that he mailed a letter to Emma from Lansdale soon after hisdeparture 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 toldEmma to address him as “ Oliver R. Hunter.” He also begged for forgiveness and said he was“in the doctor’s hands” and asked that money be sent to him. He also wrote that “that badgirl” did not come away with him and that he was alone. To the family’s knowledge, theJanuary 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 eigh-teen. To support her family, Emma cared for children in the community. Over the years, shecared 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 propertyto the Trumbauersville School District for $600. The land provided access to the school fromNorth 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. Shelived to the age of 88 passing away on Friday, July 15, 1955, in Trumbauersville at the homeof 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 marriedto Emma. Nevertheless, Oswin, now known as Oliver Hunter, and his second wife had threedaughters, all born in San Francisco. The first daughter was born in 1905, the second in1908 and the third in 1912. So the family survived the devastating San Francisco earth-quake and fires in April 1906.

Through his research, Ray was able to identify some 50 descendants of Oswin and Minnie.None were aware of Oswin’s life on the East Coast or that Oswin was a bigamist. In Decem-ber of 1995, he located a daughter, Shirley Walden, one of Oswin’s and Minnie’s 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 wastaken, about 1911.

Oswin lived the remainder of his life in San Fran-cisco. He died at the age of 64 on Sunday, No-vember 16, 1930. He was buried at Cyprus LawnCemetery, Lot 597, Tier 8. A friend of mine inSan Francisco said that this cemetery is located inColma, about two miles from San Francisco.

Minnie, his wife, survived Oswin by 29 years anddied on Sunday, February 8, 1959, in San Francisco.She was 75 years old when she passed away.

Estella was my half 1st cousin, twice removed. As a young boy, I remember visiting the Ralstonfamily on their farm in New Milford, located in upstate PA near the NY border. My dad woulddrive his car and take along his parents when we visited them. It must have taken us a good fouror five hours to reach their farm from Trumbauersville. They raised cattle and grew variouscrops. On our visit, I recall drinking fresh milk from their cows and eating freshly churnedbutter with biscuits and chicken with dumplings. The date of Estella’s death is not known.

Elevesta was born on Sunday, October 1, 1871. At the age of 16 on Saturday, October 22, 1887, shewas confirmed into Christ Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville. The following month on Saturday,November 5th, she married William R. Grant,Grant,Grant,Grant,Grant, son of Charles GrantGrantGrantGrantGrant and Sophia RothRothRothRothRoth. He was born onTuesday, January 8, 1861. When they married, William was 26 years old and Elevesta was 16.

Elevesta and William had eight children. William died on Thursday, May 31, 1928,at the age of67 and was buried in the Union Cemetery in Quakertown, Pa. Elevesta lived to the age of 103and died on Sunday, March 31, 1974. She was my 1st cousin, twice removed.

Some historians believe that Elevestra’s husband, William R. Grant, was related to PresidentUlysses S. Grant. William’s grandfather, Johannes, married Salome Kemmerer. As reported inthe book, Kemmerer-Past to Present, Salome’s nephew, Rev. Ducan M. Kemmerer, wrote in hisjournal, “Of father’s sisters, I know but little. One married a Grant who was the organist foryears 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, Mont-gomery Co., Pa. Johannes lived in Montgomery Co., Pa. The proximity of Johannes and Hannahin Montgomery Co. suggests a connection. The direct link, however, could not be established.

Harold was also known as “Hap.” He owned a butcher shop on East Broad Street inTrumbauersville. As a young boy, I would watch him and his employees butcher steers. Theywould start by hitting the steer on the head with a ball paean hammer. A chain attached to itsback legs then hoisted the unconscious steer. After hoisting the animal to the ceiling so that itwas entirely off the floor, the underside was slit with a large knife from the rectum to the throatand allowed to bleed (I would assume if the hit on the head did not kill the animal, the bleedingwould).

After the bleeding stopped, the butchering began. That was when I usually left, as the smell ofthe 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 ofabout 55. Both Harold and Mabel are buried at St. John’s Lutheran Church Cemetery, Argus,Bucks County, Pa.

United States Army –WW IITTTTThe Drafthe Drafthe Drafthe Drafthe Draft

The buildup for the Allied invasion of Europe in World War II (WW II) began in late 1943 andearly 1944. Draft boards throughout America were looking for all the able bodies they couldfind 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 washeadquartered in Quakertown, Bucks County, Pa. In early 1944, the board had to draft marriedmen to meet their quota. One of those was my father, Wilmer. He was 32 years old, married andhad three children, and he was drafted into the United States Army on March 7, 1944. I oftenwondered how my grandfather must have felt when he had to draft his son. It must have beenvery difficult for him.

My dad had his basic training somewhere in the south, I believe it was Florida. I attempted toobtain my father’s military record from the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. I wasadvised that his records were lost in a fire at the center on July 12, 1973. The only informationthey 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 dad’s unit, the 109th Regiment, 28th

Infantry Division. Their information helped to fill in many of the blanks concerning my dad’smilitary experiences. I also located my dad’s discharge records filed at the Bucks County court-house in Doylestown, Pa. The family also had a picture of my dad, which I believe was taken atthe end of his basic training in 1944. A copy of that picture appears in the insert.

I knew from my dad’s discharge records that he was assignedas an infantryman in Company I, 109th Regiment, 28th In-fantry Division. The 28th was later called “The BloodyBucket” (its arm patch insignia was a bright red keystone)by the Germans because of the casualties suffered by thedivision in WW II. The 28th Division was initially composedof men from the Pennsylvania National Guard.

The 28th Infantry Division was sent to the European Theaterof Operations as part of “Operation Overlord.” OperationOverlord was the military codename for the Allied invasionof Europe. This invasion took place on the coast ofNormandy, France from Caen to the Cotentin peninsula. Inhis book Citizen Soldiers, Stephen Ambrose listed the initiallanding armaments. They involved 10,000 airplanes, 80 warships, 4,000 other craft and 200,000 men. Within a week,another 100,000 men were landed and in the first 100 daystwo million soldiers reached France.

The landing beaches along the Normandy coast were codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno andSword. The landings began in the early morning of Thursday, June 6, 1944. The objective of theAmerican 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 eastand advance to the Seine River, south of Paris. A map on northern Europe appears at the end ofthis 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 notarrive in Europe until August 25, 1944, and thus, he did not participate in the Normandy inva-sion. He did participate in the later campaigns in the Huertgen Forest, the Ardennes (Battle ofthe Bulge), central Europe (Battle at Schleiden, Germany) and the Alsace (liberation of Colmar,France).

Because of Maj. Gen. Brown’s lackluster performance in the early stages of the Normandy cam-paign, 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 ofthe 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 wasassigned to the US First Army commanded by Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges. The First Army wasassigned to the 12th Army Group under the command of Lt. Gen. Omar N. Bradley. The otherprincipal unit assigned to the 12th Army Group was the 3rd Army commanded by Lt. Gen. GeorgeS. Patton. The 12th Army Group along with the US 6th Army Group, commanded by Lt. Gen. JacobDevers, 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 fullstrength, each regiment had 3,257 men. Each regiment had three battalions and each battalionhad 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, eachcompany had three rifle companies (193 men), an I&R platoon, an ammo platoon, an antitankplatoon 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.

In July 1944, Lt. Gen. Hodges’ 1st Army, which included the 28th Infantry, opened an offensivearound St. Lô, the key crossroads city in lower Normandy. The battlefield in this area of Normandywas in hedgerows that dated back to the Roman times. The hedgerows were mounds of earthsurrounding a field to keep cattle in and to mark boundaries. The field usually had only oneentrance. The brush growing from the hedgerows often meet overhead above the sunken roadsthat paralleled the hedgerows.

219

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 powerfulenough to break through the cementlike base of the hedgerows. And there were many hedgerowsthe division had to cross in towns such as Percy, Montbray, Montguorary, Gathemo and St. Severde Calvados. The Allied offensive was stuck in place for weeks trying to break through thehedgerows. In his book Citizen Soldiers, Stephen Ambrose described the hedgerow fighting andhow the tanks were fitted with steel blades that could cut through the hedgerows. During thebattle, he also stated that the air force dropped 16,000 tons of bombs. By August 1, 1944, Lt.Gen. George S. Patton’s 3rd Army was advancing in four directions and the 1st Army pressedforward as German resistance collapsed.

In a movement north in late August, the 28th succeeded in trapping the remnants of the German7th Army. The division advanced through Vorneuil, Breteuil, Damville, Conches, Le Neubourgand Elbuef. This offensive allowed Patton’s 3rd Army to swing behind the German line and pushthem back to Falasie where 50,000 Germans surrendered. The 1st Army broke out of thehedgerows into the relatively flat land that lay to the east toward Paris.

The Battle of Normandy was over. It lasted 75 days. Ambrose’s book listed the causalities. TheAllies suffered 209,672 causalities, 39,976 dead of which 26,780 were American. The Germanslost 450,000, with 240,000 killed or wounded.

Liberation of ParisLiberation of ParisLiberation of ParisLiberation of ParisLiberation of Paris

The 1st Army pushed across France toward Paris meeting only minor German resistance. The cityof Paris was liberated on Friday, August 25, 1944. Because many Communist collaborators werein 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 theChamps Elysées. DeGaulle wanted a show of Allied force in the liberated streets of Paris. All threeregiments 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 breakthrough the Siegfried Line, or West Wall, andcontinue to drive east to the Rhine River. The109th was to clear the city of Compiegne, France,cross the Aisne River about 50 miles north of Parisand continue to the border between Luxembourgand Germany. On August 31, Compiegne wastaken by the 109th.

The regiment continued to march east, travellingabout 195 miles in eleven days, and arrived inBreidfeld, Luxembourg on September 11th. The109th Regiment was under command of Col.William Lee Blanton, the 3rd Battalion wascommanded by Lt. Col. Trapani and Company

I, my dad’s unit, by 1st Lt. Wilfred A. Dulac. Capt. Harry M. Kemp commanded M Company ofthe 3rd Battalion (he retired at the rank of Colonel and lives in San Antonio, Texas). On Septem-

ber 18, 1944, one of the replacements assigned to I Company was Lt. William M. Pena. He wasassigned 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 andcorresponded with them. I learned that they wrote books about their WW II experiences. Theyboth sent me a copy of their books, which I have used to detail my dad’s 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 cam-paigns in Europe until September 1945. Capt. Pena was a ROTC graduate from Texas A & MCollege and commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant on May 16, 1942. He graduated from the OfficerBasic 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 bothbooks to follow the operations of my dad’s unit, the 109th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Battalion, Com-pany I. Neither Kemp nor Pena remember my dad, but Pena did locate a picture of a group ofsoldiers taken in Germany that included my father. The picture was in the possession of Capt.Bruce W. Paul, I Company commander.

On September 13, 1944, the 109th was ordered to advance from Breidfeld, Luxembourg acrossthe Our River (the river was the boundary between Luxembourg and Germany) to Sevenig, Ger-many, thus becoming the first US unit to enter Germany. The objective of the 3rd Battalion was totake Hill 515, known as “Purple Heart Hill,” just east of Sevenig. On September 18th, the Ger-mans counterattacked and the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Trapani, ordered a retreat. Whenword of the retreat reached Gen. Cota, 28th Division commander, he was furious as the battalionwas 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.

I estimate that it took him about three weeks to be assigned to the front. Therefore, it is probablethat my dad was one of the replacements and was assigned to I Company in mid-to late Septem-ber 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 battalioncommander, Maj. Martin, became ill from a previous medical problem (stomach ulcers) andwas 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 tenmiles 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 ofthe 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 Germanpositions 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 wouldhave been better to bypass the forest and concentrate on the dams. Capturing the forest withoutthe dams was worthless. Hodges’ plan was stupid, and it would prove to be extremely costly.

The Battle of the Huertgen Forest would be fought under conditions as bad as US soldiers everhad to face. The forest was filled with fir trees 30 to 40 feet high about four feet apart. It was sothick 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 forestfrom 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 beyondGermeter toward Huertgen; the 112th would drive toward Kommerscheidt and the 110th woulddrive to the town of Schmeidt.

At 8AM on Thursday, November 2, 1944, the 28th Division moved out of their foxholes into themisty woods. It was a cold and foggy morning. The forest was so thick that it was difficult to seemore than a few feet in any direction. The US soldiers were not trained to fight a battle in denseforest conditions. Their tanks were essentially useless. And it was impossible to call in artillerybecause the enemy could not be seen.

German artillery, however, knew the 28th was coming and opened fire. The shells would hit thetops of the trees and so called “tree bursts” resulted in a deadly shower of wooden splinters. Ourinfantry soon discovered it was not advantageous to lie face down on the ground during thesetree bursts as they exposed too much of their body to the deadly splinters. It was better to standerect 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. CompanyI of the 3rd Battalion (my dad’s unit) found a path through the minefield on the road from

222

Wittscheidt to Huertgen. However, none of the remaining soldiers in the unit would advancetoward Huertgen so Company I returned to Wittscheidt. On their return, they captured fifteenGerman soldiers and made them walk in front of them through the minefield. Many of the mineswere 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 thatcaptured these Germans. He would tell us later that he did serve as an interpreter as he could speakGerman. 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 woundedand replaced by Capt. Bruce W. Paul. The commander of the 3rd Battalion, Maj. Topping, orderedtwo of his companies, I and L, to assist the 1st Battalion who had suffered heavy losses. On Novem-ber 4, the 2nd Battalion also suffered heavy losses. They had hit a nest of German bunkers andcouldn’t capture them. The 3rd Battalion encountered bunkers protected by double-strand concertinawire 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 theKall 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 lossescontinued and Gen. Cota requested that his troops be allowed to withdraw to the west bank of theKall River.

In November there were major command changes in the regiment. Maj. James H. McCoy replacedMaj. Topping, who was wounded by a German sniper, as commander of the 3rd Battalion, and onNovember 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 andbeer. The 28th Division had suffered appalling casualties in the first two weeks of November, a totalof 5,684 losses, or about one out of every three soldiers. The 109th lost half of its 3,000 men. OnNovember 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. Myfather 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 wasmotored south 150 miles to relieve the 121st Regiment. The 109th established its command post atBettendorf, Luxembourg. However, in less than a month, the 28th would be called upon to do battlein 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 pushthat would break the back of the German army. Most felt that the war would be over by Christmas.

By early December, the Allied forces totaled two million men with 45,000 vehicles. Coordinationand supply of this extensive Allied front, however, had become very difficult. Hitler saw an oppor-tunity for a counterattack. He ordered General von Rumstead to advance from the Ardennes to-ward Liege and ultimately to the port of Antwerp in Belgium. Von Rumstead knew he did not havethe troops and supplies to complete the objectives of this counterattack. But, he was a professionalsoldier, and he obeyed Hitler’s orders. General von Rumstead began his counter attack at 5:30 AMon 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 toAntwerp. 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. JamesEarl Rudder replaced Col. Gibney, who was just appointed the previous month. Col. Gibney wastransferred 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 threeregiments of the 109th had about eight miles to defend. This distance, eight miles, was much toolong to be adequately defended by one regiment, particularly in view of the German counterat-tack that began on December 16th.

The 352 Volks Grenadier Division attacked the 109th Regiment. Company I had a defensive posi-tion 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 oftheir present position. In the first two days of the battle, Company I had lost one rifle platoon.

Under intense enemy pressure, the 109th was againordered to regroup at Ettelbruck, about two milesfurther west. Because of heavy losses, the 3rd Bat-talion had to reorganize into three task forces- L, Kand I. Task Force I was commanded by Bruce W.Paul. He replaced 1st Lt. Dulac, who was woundedon November 2. Company I (my dad’s unit) wasassigned to this task force. 1st Lt. Tropp commandedTask Force K and Capt. Fossum commanded TaskForce L. Task Force I took a defensive position aboutone mile east of Ettelbruck. The weather was sobad that the Allied planes could not support ourground troops. At first the battle went well for theGermans. They pushed the US 1st Army back creat-ing a bulge in the line. This attack became knownas the “Battle of the Bulge.” However, the 110th In-

fantry 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

and wet holes. Snow began falling before Christmas and continued into February 1945. InJanuary, the temperature dropped to minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The front line soldiers werenever warm. Vehicle engines froze, as did weapons. One solution was to urinate on the weaponto unfreeze it.

A major problem was trench foot. First, the toenails fell off, then the foot turned purple, thenblack, 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 aroundthe 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. Alliedreinforcements were brought in, and the weather cleared. Patton’s 3rd Army moved in to relievethe regiments of the 29th Division. Patton’s army would continue its move north to relieve thecity 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 orderedfrom Ettelbruck to Moestrof, Luxembourg. The commander of Company I, Cap. Paul, was or-dered to send a patrol into Moestrof to determine if the enemy was still in the town. The Ger-mans, however, had evacuated the town so it was relatively quiet for the 109th for the next fewdays.

Christmas Day, a Monday, for the regiment was a special day. The troops were served a turkeydinner with all the trimmings. I wonder if it was still hot when the troops at the front lines satdown to eat their Christmas meal?

The tide of the Battle of the Bulge turned. The weather cleared, and air support was possible. OnDecember 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 1,174men 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 Patton’s 3rd Army. The German counterattackended in defeat on Sunday, January 28, 1945, with the loss of 200,000 men. This battle provedto be the last German counterattack of World War II.

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 aroundColmar, France, some 75 miles southeast of Luxembourg.

The Division was temporarily assigned on January 20 to the French 1st Army under command ofGen. Bernard Lattre de Tassigny. The 28th, along with the French 1st Army, was assigned to thearea around the city of Colmar. The 109th reached their positions on Tuesday, January 9. Initialpositions were in the Vosges Mountains outside the city of Colmar.

The German army with about 50,000 troops occupied the area around Colmar. It was known asthe “Colmar Pocket.” The objective of this battle was to retake the city and to eliminate theGerman-held position in Colmar.

The 3rd Battalion established a command post at Plainfaing in the Vosges where it snowed almostevery day. The snow was an average of 20 inches deep. The 20th French Moroccan Mule TeamCompany brought supplies to the front line troops by mule, as trucks were useless on thesenarrow, mountainous, snow covered roads. Supplies were moved at night because they wereobvious targets during the day in the snow.

The Germans occupied Colmar because it was a key transportation center. The city dates back to825 AD when it was founded as a royal villa. In 1226 it became an imperial city and in 1681 itwas annexed to France. Germany annexed the city in 1871, but it was given back to France at theend of WW I in 1919. Now, the Germans once again occupied Colmar. Its population was40,000.

On January 28, the division’s operational control was reassigned to XXI US Corps. Four dayslater, 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 inColmar. 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 offen-sive completely surprised the enemy.

A victory celebration took place on Wednesday, February 8. Company I was chosen to lead aparade through the city of Colmar (see picture on the next page).

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 paradewas 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 theColmar picture of the parade from Col. Kemp.

During the battle, my father’s Regiment, the 109th Infantry Regiment, distinguished itself and onMarch 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 majorFrench city in German hands.

On February 12, 1945, the 109th was relieved. On February 18, Lt. Col. Rudder was promoted toColonel. The next day the regiment was moved north 165 miles by motor and rail to a positionat Bransfeld, Germany overlooking the Olef River about one-half mile from the city of Schleiden.

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

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 10:30AM and assembled in several large commercial buildings located a few blocks from the river towait for the exchange with the 87th. Orders, however, were changed and the 109th was orderedto return to Nickenich the next morning. At 7 AM the next day, the regiment was ready to departKoblenz, except one company was missing. A senior NCO was dispatched to find the unit. It wasfound and the NCO informed the regimental commander that the company would be ready in15 minutes. Later, it was learned that the missing company had discovered a large cache of finewines 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 ofRemagen) 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 atbridges, key crossroads and supply points. The remaining units of the 109th, the HQ, HQ Com-pany, the Anti-Tank Company and the Service Company remained under the command of Col.Rudder. On March 29 and 30, Rudder’s remaining units moved about ten miles south toHonningen and crossed the Rhine River on an engineer-built pontoon bridge and established aCommand 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 thefinal fighting. On April 10, the detached units of the 109th (1st , 2nd and 3rd Battalions) were re-turned 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 theeast. Col. Rudder established his CP at Bardenberg, Germany and took occupation responsibilityfor 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, theregiment 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 ofWorms, Germany.

The 3rd Battalion of the 109th had tactical control of the areas around Frankenthal, about five milessouth of Worms, and Ludwigshafen, about ten miles south of Worms. A key area of control wasthe Ludwigshafen-Mannheim Bridge across the Rhine. Control of the bridge was directed by acombination of key military government men directed by the Regiment and German-speakingsoldiers of the 109th. Since my father spoke German, he may have been involved in this activity.

228

I Company established a company command post in the town of Weidenthal, about 20 milessouthwest of Worms, Germany. Through my correspondence with Capt. Pena, he informed methat there was a picture taken of the command post soldiers in Weidenthal and that my dad wasin the picture. He said the picture was in the possession of Capt. Bruce W. Paul, the commanderof I Company. Capt. Paul is retired, at the rank of colonel, and living in Laguna Hills, CA. He sentme a letter with six pictures taken in Germany. One of these pictures was the staff at the com-mand 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 soldiersin the picture as noted above. Capt. Paul said in his letter that the picture was taken in front ofthe command post, which was the best house in town. A doctor owned the house. I estimate thatthis picture was taken in late April or May of 1945. Capt. Paul also said in his letter that ICompany had responsibility for Weidenthal and three other surrounding towns. The company’smain 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 father’s lips. His Armynickname was “Churchill” as he smoked a cigar whenever it was possible. I recall that mygrandfather 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 bombedout buildings. He did not know how the pictures were developed. He said that sometimes itdidn’t pay to ask questions.

In June 1998, my wife and I were on a Rhine River cruise and sailed under the Ludwigshafen-Mannheim Bridge. We also passed within 17 miles of Weidenthal. Unfortunately, I was notaware of my father’s occupation activity in this area when we were in Germany. It would havebeen great to take pictures of the bridge and the town of Weidenthal, and to look for the doctor’shouse that became the command post.

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 bythe 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 linkedup near Paderborn. Some 400,000 German troops were encircled. From Paderborn it wasabout 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 Russianswho were only about 60 miles from the city, or should he concentrate on liberating more than90,000 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 raceto Berlin, he would have to relinquish control of the land between the Elbe River and Berlinanyway, as the Russians would occupy that area after the war. He decided to stop his troops atthe 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 atthe Elbe and the 3rd and 7th Armies to overrun Bavaria and Austria. On April 25, units of the US1st 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 onMay 1, and news of his death was broadcast to the German people. Admiral Doenitz tookcommand of the German forces and surrendered to the Allied forces on May 7. The officialsurrender was signed on Tuesday, May 8, and President Truman and Prime Minister Churchillannounced Victory in Europe, V-E Day. On that day, the 3rd Battalion, 109th Infantry Regiment’sofficial journal recorded it was “VE Day” and the “weather was warm and clear.” The war inEurope was over for the 109th.

CausalitiesCausalitiesCausalitiesCausalitiesCausalities

In his book, Citizen Soldiers, Stephen Ambrose listed the causalities each infantry division suf-fered 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 battlesfrom 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 equatedto a turnover of 107%, or virtually every soldier who landed in Normandy did not make it to V-E Day. For those that did make it, there were others who were replaced numerous times.

From the data in Ambrose’s book, I calculated some statistics for the average of the forty-fourdivisions and compared them to the 28th Division in the table on the next page.

230

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

DemobilizationDemobilizationDemobilizationDemobilizationDemobilization

After V-E Day, some GIs would return home. But there was still a war in the Pacific, so noteveryone would be going home. A point system, called the Adjusted Service Rating (ASR), wasestablished to determine which of the GIs would be going back to the US. Points were given forlength of service, time overseas, combat decorations and number of dependent children. An ASRof 85 or greater meant that the soldier would return home and be discharged. My dad had anASR of 86..... He wHe wHe wHe wHe was gas gas gas gas goinoinoinoinoing home!!g home!!g home!!g home!!g home!!

Re-deployment of the 28th Division began in early July 1945. Those who had low ASRs were todepart 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 shipEscelsior. I obtained from Col. Kemp a copy of a picture showing the 3rd Battalion boarding the ship. Myfather is probably somewhere in the mass of soldiers waiting to board the ship (see picture below).

Col. Kemp reported in his book that even though space on board the ship was sparse, the foodwas 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 Standishwhere 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 dutyat 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 father’s house,Charles H. Gretzinger’s, 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 sur-rendered on Tuesday, August 14.

After his leave was over, my father returned to the separation center at Indiantown Gap MilitaryReservation 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, andhis great-grand father, Lewis, may have left Germany 94 years earlier because of the oppressionhe experienced. It is also interesting to note that when my father’s unit, the 28th Division, was inthe battle to liberate Colmar, France, he was only 91 miles from Reutlingen, the town where hisgreat-grandfather, Lewis, had emigrated in 1848.

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 de-serter was from my father’s 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 hiscriminal record, he was originally classified as “undesirable” by his draft board. As the buildupfor the invasion of Normandy was underway, many draft boards reclassified men to meet theirquotas. Eddy was one of those who was reclassified. He was drafted in 1944 and assigned to the28th Division, 109th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, Company G on August 25, 1944. My dad nevermentioned Eddy’s name so I doubt if he knew Slovik personally even though they were in thesame regiment.

During the battle at Elbeuf, a town on the Seine River, Slovik’s unit was ordered to advance.Slovik deserted his unit and remained in Elbeuf where he ran into a Canadian Army unit, the13th Provost Corps. He remained with the Canadians and cooked for them while they trackeddown his unit.

After locating his unit, he was returned to the 109th Regiment, Company G on October 8. Eddytold his commander, Capt. Ralph O. Grotte, that he could not return to the front lines. He was toonervous. 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 againreturned to the 109th and wound up with the Executive Officer, Lt. Col. Ross C. Henbest (onOctober 22, Henbest was assigned commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 109th). He gave Henbesta written statement saying that if he were returned to the front he would desert again. Hiscommander 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-Marshallon November 11, 1944.

The stockade was nothing more than a farmer’s barn in Belgium. Also in the stockade were otherdeserters. As the deserters were tried for desertion, they would return to the stockade to tell theirfellow inmates of their sentence. The typical sentence was “twenty years at hard labor.” Manyfelt, however, that their sentence would be significantly shortened after the end of the war.

Eddy’s court marshal trial was held in Belgium. The division convened by Gen. Cota had nineofficer members headed by Col. Guy M. Williams, the division’s finance officer. The other eightmilitary judges were all staff officers. None had combat experience. Officers with combat expe-rience were needed at the front during these critical times, particularly as the Battle of the HuertgenForest 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 statedthat he did not wish to make any statements. Probably the most damming evidence was hiswritten statement that he refused to retract. The judges found him guilty and sentenced him “tobe shot to death by musketry.” Many of these officers later admitted that they thought thesentence would be overturned and changed to imprisonment. Pvt. Slovik was one of 129 otherUS soldiers given death sentences in the European Theatre of Operations during mid July 1942

233

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 toGeneral Eisenhower asking that his life be spared. It was not to be. General Cota, commander ofthe 28th Division, signed the execution order on November 27 and Private Edward Slovik wasdoomed. The execution was scheduled for Tuesday, January 31, 1945, at the 109th area in Franceand was approved by Gen. Eisenhower on January 23, 1945.

On January 31, 1945, the 109th regimental commander, Lt. Col. Rudder, was called away fromthe front to attend the execution of Pvt. Slovik. He ordered each of his battalion commanders toprovide 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 en-listed men from the 28th Division and other XXI Corps units. The general idea was to convey tothe 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. Itwas selected because a seven and one-half foot high wall enclosed it. Slovik was transported bytruck from Paris and arrived at this site at 7:30 AM on January 31. The day of the execution wasgray, overcast, warmer than usual and there was snow on the ground. The Catholic chaplain ofthe 109th, Capt. Carl P. Cummings, heard Eddy’s last confession. His hands were tied behind hisback and he was led to an enclosed area outside where he was strapped to a large stake. A hoodwas placed over his head and the firing squad marched onto the field. The squad was told thatone of their rifles was loaded with a blank and only the officer who loaded the weapons knew theidentity of that rifle.

The order was given— “Ready, Aim, Fire.” The crack of the guns sounded in the gray, overcastmorning. Eddy went limp, but it appeared that he was not dead. The attending doctor examinedhim and found that his heart was still beating. Not a single bullet had hit Eddy’s heart. Either thefiring squad was too nervous to be accurate or many of the riflemen intentionally missed theirtarget. The officer in charge of the execution ordered that the firing squad’s 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 be-cause of his criminal record. Others say it was because Eisenhower wanted to make him anexample of what would happen to deserters, particularly at this time when every able soldierwas needed at the front to defeat the Germans.

The Army later acknowledged that the officers presiding at Eddy’s court marshal should havehad combat experience. I would agree. Only those who have faced and endured actual fireunder combat can understand the “hell” of war. Combat officers may have seen Eddy’s deser-tion under a completely different light. He might not have been sentenced to death by those whoalso faced death in battle as Eddy did.

StiefStiefStiefStiefStiefel Genealoel Genealoel Genealoel Genealoel Genealogygygygygy


When I found my emigrant’s (Lewis Gretzinger’s) marriage announcement, I learned that hemarried a “Stiefel.” Her name was recorded in the marriage announcement as Hannah, akaJohanna, 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 America1850-1878 (page 79 of Vol. 5), which listed the Stiefel family as emigrating on the ship “Moun-taineer.” They left from Harve, France and arrived in New York on August 18, 1854. JacobStiefel, his wife Catharine and seven children (three males and four females) were listed. Fur-ther research has shown that there were two males ( Jacob and Wilhelm) and five females(Catharina, Christiana, Jacobina, Caroline and Frederica). This information was obtained fromthe minutes to the Derdingen, Germany Town Council dated May 29,1854. These minutes alsostated that Jacob and his family immigrated with “…a total property of 1000 Gulden”. A Gul-den was a former German coin and is worth about 60 cents today. Thus, Jacob’s total propertywould have been worth about $600 today, not very much money for a family of nine people tobegin a new life in a distant country.

Johanna and Elizabeth were not included in the list emigrating with their parents. As recordedin the minutes to the Derdingen, Germany Town Council dated February 9, 1854, these twodaughters 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 the1854 emigration record were sons of Catharina Stiefel. An extract from the minutes to theDerdingen, Germany Town Council dated May 29,1854, recorded these children as the illegiti-mate 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 MichaelHiller in 1858. It is probable that these two children lived with Michael and Catharina aftertheir marriage.

Another son, Johann Jacob, was also not on the 1854 emigration list with his parents. He emi-grated 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 onthe genealogy report, Descendants of Johann Jacob Stiefel, located at the end of this chapterbeginning on page 259.

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 (theGroezingers/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 WWWWWeisereisereisereisereiserttttt.She was born on Sunday, January 15, 1802, in Unterderdingen and was the daughter of JohannWWWWWeisereisereisereisereisert t t t t and Eva LanLanLanLanLanggggg. She was 19 years old when they married. The marriage took place inUnterderdingen, Germany.

Johann Jacob and Catharine had twelve children, nine of whom survived to adulthood. In 1854at the age of 56, Johann Jacob, his wife, five of his daughters and two grandsons immigrated toAmerica. 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 Churchin Zion Hill, Springfield Township, Bucks Co., Pa. Both Jacob and Catharine were listed as “com-municants” at the church in 1857. A daughter, Elizabeth, was listed as a “communicant” on May30, 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 (akaBenah) and Christiana on April 2, 1859. Johanna (Hannah) was recorded as a communicantwith 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. Iestimate Johann to be 56 years old and Catharine to be 54.

Johann Jacob died on Thursday, September 15, 1864, at theage of 66. He was buried in the cemetery behind the ZionEvangelical Lutheran Church in Zion Hill, Springfield Town-ship, Bucks County, Pa. His wife, Catharine, died about twoyears later on Saturday, May 26, 1866. She was also buriedin the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery. Theirtombstones are in the fourth row of the cemetery directlybehind the church.

4. Catharina Stief4. Catharina Stief4. Catharina Stief4. Catharina Stief4. Catharina Stiefelelelelel

Catharina was born on Friday, November 5, 1824, in Unterderdingen. As noted in the introduc-tion, she immigrated to America with her parents in 1854. She was 29 years old when shearrived in America. Two of the children, Jacob-age 7 and Wilhelm -an infant, who also immi-grated with Catharina and her parents, were Catharina’s illegitimate children. The father ofthese children is not known.

Four years after arriving in America, Catharina married Michael Hiller Hiller Hiller Hiller Hiller on Tuesday, February 2,1858. Rev. Kammerer conducted the marriage that took place in Richland Township, BucksCounty, Pa. When they married, Catharina was 34 years old and Michael was 38. He was bornon Saturday, April 8, 1820, in Wuerttemberg, Germany.

It is probable that the two children, Jacob and Wilhelm, who immigrated with Catharina in1854, lived with her and her husband after their marriage in 1858. However, Catharina andMichael had two children of their own, a boy and a girl.

Michael attended at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Richlandtown, Bucks County, Pa. be-tween 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 sinceMichael’s occupation was recorded as “farmer” in the 1870 census. He died at the age of 70 onFriday, 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 takenabout 1895 when Catharina was 71 years old.

Catharina died on Saturday, March 21, 1908, at the age of84 and was buried at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Cemeterywith her husband.

Johann Jacob was born on Tuesday, February 13, 1827, in Unterderdingen, Germany. He wasconfirmed in 1841 in Germany at the age of 14. Sometime between 1841 and 1849, Johannimmigrated to America.

In America, he married Fredricka LanLanLanLanLang (or Long (or Long (or Long (or Long (or Long)g)g)g)g) on Sunday, May 13, 1849, in St. Michael &Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, Philadelphia, Pa. When they married, Johann was 22 yearsold 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 son’s, Jacob, resi-dence at the time of his death. Johann Jacob died on Wednesday, May 3, 1899, in Philadelphia atthe age of 72. His death notice invited the following organizations to his funeral: Humbolt Ben-eficial Society No. 1 and the Barbarosa Beneficial Society No. 1. It appears that Johann Jacob wasa member of these societies.

Johann Jacob was buried at the Glenwood Cemetery, 25th and Glenwood Ave. (Section K, Lot186), Philadelphia, Pa. on Sunday, May 7, 1899. Buried in the same lot were his wife and fourchildren. The cemetery, however, was moved to Broomall, Delaware County in 1938. Thecemetery 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. Otherfamily members buried in this plot were Fredricka ( Jacob’s wife)-age 78, and four of JohannJacob’s 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 HenryKunzig. The cemetery administrator advised that Kunzig was a funeral director who owned anumber of plots in the Philadelphia Glenwood Cemetery.

Johann Jacob’s 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 wasrecorded as “Burns, accidentally received.” Fredricka was buried on Wednesday, November 28,1906, at the Glenwood Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pa.

Johanna was born on Wednesday, August 4, 1830, in Unterderdingen, Germany. Johanna (akaHannah) immigrated to America in 1854 at the age of 22. In an extract from the minutes to theTown Council of Derdingen, Germany dated February 9, 1854, Johanna and her sister, Eliza-beth, were recorded as planning to emigrate. Their father, Johann Jacob, was in agreement withhis 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 themeans for sustenance. The minutes also recorded that he and both of his daughters signed theimmigration documents.

After arriving in America, the Rev. William B.

Christian did not immigrate to the United States with his parents. It is believed that he immi-grated 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 MillerMillerMillerMillerMiller on Monday, October 3, 1859, in St.Paul’s Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa. He and Maria had six children. His occupation was“blacksmith.”

Christian moved from Bucks County, Pennsylvania to Clayton County, Iowa sometime between1860 and 1864. Clayton County is in the northeast corner of Iowa bordering with Wisconsin.In the 1900 Iowa census his occupation was listed as “capitalist.” It also noted that one of the sixchildren had died.

A photograph (see insert) of Christian and Maria wastaken in the studio of C. O. Peick, Guttenberg, Iowa. Iestimate that the photo was taken about 1895 when Chris-tian was 63 years old and Maria was 55.

Christian died at the age of 91 in Garber, Volga Town-ship, Clayton County, Iowa on Thursday, April 26, 1923.

In the 1880 census for Philadelphia (Ward 29), the family was living at 2925 Cambridge St.,Philadelphia, Pa. His occupation was recorded as “butcher.”

Jacob’s wife, Louisa, died on Monday, March 20, 1905, at the age of 53. She was buried at NorthwoodCemetery, 15th & Haines Sts., Phila, Pa. in the “Forest” section of the cemetery, Lot 198.

Jacob’s death notice invited the following organizations to his funeral: Loyal Council, No. 781,Jr., O. U. A. M. and Barbarosa Beneficial Society. It appears Jacob was a member of these organi-zations. Jacob lived at 1451 N. 28th St., Phila., Pa at the time of his death in 1910.

To establish the lineage of the emigrant, Ludwig (Lewis) Grözinger, I searched for a contact inGermany. 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 inWuerttemberg dating from the late 1500s to 1875. They provided copies of these microfilms tothe 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 HistoryCenter 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 hisfamily. I received a response (in German) from Dr. Hermann Ehmer, Director- National ChurchArchives, Stuttgart, Germany, which included a number of FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergistersssss. His letter, looselyinterpreted, indicated the following.

“For the date of birth provided, we could not find Ludwig Grözinger in the baptism records forReutlingen. He was probably born outside of Reutlingen. However, in the family register of Reutlingen,there was an entry for Ludwig Grözinger, his parents and his brothers and sisters. A notice concerninghis 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 didnot begin until 1859 for Reutlingen. Also, their emigration index for Reutlingen existed only forthe 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), includedthe name “Grözinger” from the district of Reutlingen.

FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergistersssss

FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergisters s s s s were records maintained by the church in Germany. They contain a significantamount of information that includes the names of the father and mother, their birth dates, theirmarriage date and their death dates. The register also lists the names of their children, theirbirth 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 ofresidence also were recorded.

Because the FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergistersssss I received from Dr. Ehmer were written in old German script, I hadthese registers translated by a professional translator. An example of one of these registers in the

279

original German appears on page 286. The translated version appears on the next page, 287.From the copies of the Reutlingen FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergistersssss provided by Dr. Ehmer, I summarized variousgenealogy information and compared it to the data I obtained from emigration and church recordsof the Christ Lutheran Church, Trumbauersville, Pa.

Comparison ofComparison ofComparison ofComparison ofComparison of Genealo Genealo Genealo Genealo Genealogy Infgy Infgy Infgy Infgy Infororororormationmationmationmationmation

Even though the above information is not an exact match in both records, I believe a reasonableargument can be made to establish that the Grözingers listed in the FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergistersssss I receivedfrom the Stuttgart archives are my ancestors. My reasoning follows.

First, the name Lewis (Ludwig) Grozinger is the same in two official documents—the naturaliza-tion papers and the FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergister from Reutlingen. Second, Lewis’ birth place recorded in theTrumbauersville Christ Lutheran Church (this information was recorded in Lewis’ death noticeand probably was provided verbally to the person writing the notice) is undoubtedly incorrect asno such town/city in Germany could be located. Also, the “n” in Rentling may have been a typoor misunderstanding as it should have been a “u.” And finally, it was common practice to dropthe “en” from many German words, thus Reutlingen became Reutling.

The date of birth is different by two days—14th vs the 16th. The 14th was obtained from theTrumbauersville Lutheran Church record and the 16th from the Reutlingen FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergister. Itwas common practice in Germany at that time to register the birth of a child with the churchsometime after birth. The church, however, would record the birth date as the date the infantwas registered. I presume that Lewis’ parents registered his birth with the Lutheran Church inReutlingen two days after he was born—i.e. the 16th. His “official” birth date, however, was the14th as recorded on his death notice.

280

Lewis’ mother’s name in the Trumbauersville church record was recorded as Margaret Bül. Hername was recorded as Christina Margareth Bühl in the Reutlingen FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergister. The spellingof her last name (Bühl) was probably not understood when it was recorded as Bül in theTrumbauersville church record, particularly if it was provided verbally. It also appears thatLewis’ mother used her middle name, Margareth (or Margaret in English). Her given name wasrecorded as Margaret in the Trumbauersville church record.

The number of siblings listed in the FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Register gister gister gister gister was three sisters and four brothers. How-ever, only two sisters survived to adulthood. I believe, therefore, that the Christ Lutheran Churchparish 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 theTrumbauersville church record, Lewis’ father’s first name was recorded as Charles. In theReutlingen FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergister, his name was recorded as Johann Ludwig. Lewis’ grandfather, how-ever, was Johann Karl, or John Charles in English. It was common practice in Germany at thattime to have more than two given names. Thus, Lewis’ father also may have had a third givenname, Karl or Charles, in memory of his grandfather.

Since the information concerning Lewis’ parents was undoubtedly passed verbally to the re-corder of Lewis’ death notice in the Trumbauersville church record, there could have been aproblem 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 tobe passed verbally by other members of his family, e.g. his wife who also emigrated from Ger-many but not from Reutlingen. Also note that if Lewis was named after his father, then it is morelikely that his father would have been Johann Ludwig rather than Charles. In addition, theStuttgart archives did not locate a FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergister for a Karl (Charles) Grözinger who had a sonLudwig born in 1819.

Finally, the genealogy recorded in the Reutlingen FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergisters s s s s clearly shows that Lewis’uncle was Johann Michael Christoph Grözinger. Inside the Gretzinger Family Bible that was inthe possession of Lewis was an inscription written by Johann Michael Christoph Grözinger in1825 (see Chapter 1, page 3). Undoubtedly, Johann gave this Bible to his nephew, Lewis, beforehe immigrated to America in 1848.

On the basis of the above, I believe it is reasonable to assume that these FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergistersssss fromReutlingen identified my ancestor, Ludwig Grözinger, who emigrated from Reutlingen, Germany,in 1848. In addition, these registers identified Ludwig’s father as Johann Ludwig Grözinger.Lewis’ grandfather was identified as Johann Karl Grözinger, his great-grandfather as LudwigGrözinger and his 2nd great-grandfather as Karl Grözinger.

This genealogy begins with Karl Grözinger. To avoid the use of the German umlaut, it wascommon practice in America to drop the umlaut over the letter “o” and follow it with an “e.” Ihave 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.

1. K1. K1. K1. K1. Karl Grarl Grarl Grarl Grarl Groeoeoeoeoezinzinzinzinzingggggererererer

Karl was born about 1700, presumably in the area near Reutlingen, in the state of Wuerttemberg,Germany. The identity of his wife is not known.

He had at least one child, a male named Ludwig. His occupation, as recorded on the FamilyRegister, was “tanner.” His date of death is also not known.

Karl was my 6th great-grandfather.



Only one second generation Groezinger has been identified. He is listed as entry number 2 onthe genealogy report, page 288.

2. Lud2. Lud2. Lud2. Lud2. Ludwiwiwiwiwig Grg Grg Grg Grg Groeoeoeoeoezinzinzinzinzingggggererererer

Ludwig was born on December 13, 1733, in or near Reutlingen, Germany. The Family Registerfrom Reutlingen included the name “Mich” (probably for Michael) above Ludwig’s name. Michaelmay have been a second given name for Ludwig. A copy of his FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Register gister gister gister gister from the NationalChurch Archives appears on page 286. A translation of this register appears on the following page.

When he was 27 years old, he married Ursula Catharina FFFFFisciscisciscischerherherherher on November 24, 1760. Ursulawas born about 1730 and was the daughter of Johann Georg FFFFFisciscisciscischerherherherher,,,,, a local cloth maker. Ludwigand Ursula had two children, both males. Ursula, however, died on August 17, 1767, two yearsafter the birth of her second son. She died at about 37 years of age.

The following year on June 6, 1768, Ludwig married his second wife, Anna Barbara FFFFFassnacassnacassnacassnacassnachththththt. Annawas born on June 11, 1738, making her 30 when she married Ludwig, who was 35 when he marriedAnna. Anna was the daughter of Gabriel FFFFFassnacassnacassnacassnacassnachththththt, a butcher, and Ursula KrKrKrKrKrugugugugug. She and Ludwig hadeleven children, including a set of twins. The twins, however, survived less than one year.

Ludwig’s occupation was recorded in the FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Register gister gister gister gister as a “leather worker.” The Germanword “Saffian,” which was included with his occupation, was usually used to refer to a specifictype of Moroccan leather. The register also noted that he was a “citizen.” I presume that he wasa citizen of Reutlingen as this was the city from which these registers were obtained.

Ludwig died on Saturday, August 2, 1806, at the age of 73. Anna lived for another ten years,passing away on Wednesday, November 20, 1816, at the age of 78.

Ludwig was my 5th great-grandfather.

Johann Ludwig was born on July 20, 1789. On Monday, June 3, 1822, at the age of 33, hemarried Christina Margareth Buehl,Buehl,Buehl,Buehl,Buehl, according to the FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Register gister gister gister gister from Reutlingen. She was

32 when they married. Her date of birth was March 11, 1790, and she was the daughter ofPhilip BuehlBuehlBuehlBuehlBuehl and Maria KrKrKrKrKrugugugugug. Note that Johann Ludwig’s grandfather, Ludwig, married AnnaFassnacht whose mother was also a KrKrKrKrKrugugugugug. . . . . It is very probable that these KrKrKrKrKrugs ugs ugs ugs ugs were related.

As noted above, the church records from Germany recorded the marriage in 1822. That datehowever, was after the birth of the first three children born to Johann Ludwig and Christiana. Infact, the records included a notation “out of wedlock.” Reports of illegitimate births were quitecommon in 19th century documents, but often it was just a matter of who was interpreting thedata. The church often did not recognize civil marriages, and many times church marriageswere not recognized by the civil authorities.

Because of Johann Ludwig’s age (33) when he married Christina as recorded in the churchregister, it is very likely that they were married by a civil ceremony around the time their firstchild was born in 1814. In 1814, Johann Ludwig would have been 25 years old and Christinawould 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. Asnoted above, three were born prior to the marriage date, June 3, 1822, recorded in the churchregister. One of the children born prior to 1822 was Ludwig, born January 16, 1819, as re-corded in the family register. Ludwig, or Lewis, was my 2nd great-grandfather, and he was theancestor who immigrated to America. He was the only male from this family who survivedadulthood. 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 hisson, Ludwig, immigrated to the United States. The following year on Tuesday, November 21,1865, Johann Ludwig’s wife, Christina died. She was 75.


These eight Groezinger ancestors include four males and four females. Their birth and some deathdates are known. Please refer to the genealogy report on page 288 for the listing of these ancestors.

One of these ancestors, Johann Michael Christoph Groezinger, is discussed below.

Johann Michael was born on Wednesday, October 26, 1803. He was an uncle to LudwigGroezinger—the 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 theinscription is shown on page 3, Chapter 1. As noted in Chapter 1, the Bible was given to Ludwigbefore he immigrated. It is now in the possession of Ludwig’s great-grandson, Glenn George ofDoylestown, Pa.

Inside the Bible was a handwritten document that, as explained in Chapter 1, was an eulogy thatJohann Michael wrote to his mother, Anna Barbara Wernang, who died in 1835. The translatedversion of the eulogy appears on page 4.

Johann Michael died four years after his nephew, Ludwig, immigrated. The date of his death wasFriday, 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 18,1842. Her date of death was not recorded in the FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergister. I believe she survived toadulthood 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,

285

Vol. I Jan 1850 to May 1851, page 475, there is an entry for Louise Grotzinger, age 22, whoemigrated from Reutlingen, Germany. She arrived in Baltimore from Bremen on May 1, 1851,on the ship Adolphine.

Louisa’s birth year from the Reutlingen Church archives was given as 1829. Her age in 1851would 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 Grözinger, age24, arriving in New York on July 15, 1853, from Antwerp on the ship Lawrence. Based onLouisa’s 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.

Phillipina was born on Saturday, December 10, 1831, and was baptized in 1845. Like her sister,Louisa, her date of death was not recorded in the FFFFFamilamilamilamilamily Rey Rey Rey Rey Registergistergistergistergister. I believe she survived toadulthood as 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 is Louisa as noted above andthe second is Phillipina.


The last child was born on Saturday, February 21, 1835. He survived for only three days, passingaway on Tuesday, February 24, 1835.

Fries RebellionFries RebellionFries RebellionFries RebellionFries Rebellion(The Gretzinger Connection)


As a boy growing up in Trumbauersville and attending the public school there, I never recallstudying or hearing about the Fries Rebellion. Some of the initial and important events that ledup to this rebellion took place in and around my hometown. In addition, some of the peopleinvolved 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 ofTrumbauersville, published in 1976, and from the Fries Rebellion 1798-1799, published byWilliam W. H. Davis in 1889. I have used these sources to weave together the circumstancesleading to the rebellion and tied them to Trumbauersville and my family line wherever possible.

In 1798, news of the French revolution reached the United States. Our government learned thatAmerican ships were being seized by the French Navy. Since America had no Army and no Navyto 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 beimposed by the Federal Government of the US.

Assessors were appointed to determine the size and kind ofhouse (log or stone), number and size of windows, size andtype of other buildings and the amount of land owned byeach citizen. It was the section of the law that called for list-ing the number and size of windows that upset the people ofMilford and neighboring townships. One of the citizens ofMilford Township who was particularly upset was John Fries.

John Fries was born in Hatfield Township, MontgomeryCounty about 1750. At age 20 he married Margaret Brunner,daughter of David Brunner of Whitemarsh, MontgomeryCounty, Pa. John was a member of the Montgomery CountyMilitia and in 1778 commanded a company in the action atCrooked Billet, the nickname for Hatboro, MontgomeryCounty. The nickname was from a crooked stick of woodpainted on a sign that hung at a door on a tavern in Mont-gomery Count—probably 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 Benner’s Schoolhouse about one mile south ofTrumbauersville. Here he built a single story log house and moved there with his wife and twochildren. Eight additional children were born over the next eight years. One of those childrenwas Daniel who was born in May 1782. When William Davis was writing his account of theFries 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 ameeting for February 8, 1799. The meeting was held at the public house of John Klein on theTrumbauersville-Geryville road. John Fries attended this meeting. After a lengthy discussion ofthe new law, he and George Mitchell drew up a resolution that requested the assessors not tocome to Milford until the people were informed that the law was really in force. They appointedthe 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 RichlandTownship, called a meeting to explain the law. He asked George Mitchell to hold the meeting inlate February at his tavern. Mitchell’s Tavern was located on upper North Main Street inTrumbauersville. The tavern dates to 1794 when George Mitchell received his Tavern License. Itsubsequently was called the Trumbauersville Hotel.

The meeting at Mitchell’s Tavern drew a large crowd.John Fries, however, did not attend. One of Chapman’sassistants, Israel Roberts, attempted to read the law butwas drowned out by the crowd. Conrad Marks, ownerof the Geryville Hotel, said Congress had no right tomake such a law and that he would never submit tohave his house taxed. In addition, about 12 men inuniform with muskets and a flag with Liberty on itapproached Israel Roberts and said to him, “We don’twant any of your damned laws...”

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

The Colonial Inn tavern was licensed in 1752to Elisha Parker and has been in continuousoperation to the present time. As a boy in the 1947-1951 time period, I would wait for the schoolbus in front of the Colonial Inn. At the time, I had no idea of the historical significance of whathad taken place in this old tavern.

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 housevisited by the assessors was that of Daniel WWWWWeidnereidnereidnereidnereidner.

Daniel Weidner was born in 1765. He married Adelheit HuberHuberHuberHuberHuber about 1785. She was the daugh-ter of Heinrich (Henry) HuberHuberHuberHuberHuber and Anna NaefNaefNaefNaefNaef. Henry was one of three Huber brothers whoimmigrated to America in 1747 (see Chapter 5, page 163). A genealogy report, Descendants ofHeinrich (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 daugh-ter, Adelheit (entry 8), my 1st cousin, six times removed and Daniel WWWWWeidnereidnereidnereidnereidner (also see entry 8)the husband of my 1st cousin, six times removed.

Daniel Weidner’s great-grandson, Charles H. Weidner (entry 58, page 301) married my great-grandaunt, Caroline S. GrGrGrGrGretzinetzinetzinetzinetzingggggererererer, on Nov. 18, 1883. Caroline’s father was Henry S. GrGrGrGrGretzinetzinetzinetzinetzingggggererererer,,,,,my great-grandfather.

Daniel Weidner’s house was located at the west end of Trumbauersville, believed to be the houseat 301 North Main Street. At first, Mr. Weidner would not give the assessors any informationabout his property. Childs reasoned with him pointing out that he was opposing the law. Danielfinally relented and allowed Childs and Foulke to assess his property.

Childs and Foulke completed several other assessments and proceeded to the Spread Eagle Tav-ern (later known as the Colonial Inn) for their noon meal. There they met James Chapman. Asthey were eating, John Fries walked into the Tavern and warned them not to proceed with anymore assessments or they would by hurt. He left without waiting for a reply. After much discus-sion, the assessors decided to continue with the assessments.

The next morning, the Milford Militia gathered at Huber’s Mill on Swamp Creek a few milesnorth of Trumbauersville. In his account of the Fries Rebellion, author William Davis noted thatJacob Huber (aka John Jacob Huber) owned the mill on Swamp Creek. He also recorded that oneof Jacob’s brothers was Henry. Their mother was named Ann, who was born in 1722 and diedin 1775 and was buried at the Trumbauersville church. My research has confirmed that themother of Jacob ( John Jacob) and Henry was Anna Naef, born July 18, 1723, and died October24, 1775 (see entry 1, page 298). Anna’s 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 one-half mile west of the present Trumbauersville borough limits. Four years later he bought another118 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 constructa powder mill on Swamp Creek. He also was chosen Captain of the Milford Militia and servedfrom 1775 to 1780. He operated a sawmill in 1781 and applied for a tavern license in 1784.

294

He and his wife, Anna, had at least two sons and five daughters. The two sons, Henry, Jr. (entry4, page 298), and John Jacob (entry 5), obtained 177 acres of vacant land between their father’soriginal 30 acre tract and his other 20 acre tract. When Henry, Sr. died in 1798, the two sonsinherited 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 Philadel-phia and operated a store. Jacob married Elisabeth Samsel and was a miller on Swamp Creek. Themill was in later years operated by Henry Engleman until 1889 when it was destroyed by fire. As ayoung boy, I recall many summer days when we swam in the creek on Engleman’s property.

As noted above, the Militia met at John Jacob Huber’s mill. Under the command of CaptainValentine Kuder, son of John Peter Kuder, they marched to the Spread Eagle Tavern and then onthe Quakertown to wait for the assessors. They were not all in uniform but were armed withguns 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 andordered him into Enoch Robert’s Tavern (later the Red Lion Hotel in Quakertown). Here Foulkemet John Fries who demanded to see his papers. Fries found no evidence of assessments onFoulke and dismissed him. Fries then went to Squire Griffith’s house on the edge of town wherehe learned the other assessor, Childs, had stopped. Fries told Childs to accompany him to thetavern, which he did. At the tavern, Fries denounced the tax, the government, the Congress andthe President. He told Childs to go home and never come back to assess in Milford or he wouldbe shot. The assessors made no further attempts to assess in Milford.

In Upper Milford Twp. (at that time in Northampton County, now Lehigh County), the assessorsalso were told they would not be permitted to make any assessments. The assessors appealed toJudge 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 about17 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 op-pression on part of the government. Sentiment against it grew to such an extent that a companyof Militia and a company of lighthorse from Macungie and Emmaus was organized to make aneffort to rescue the prisoners.

News that the Northampton people were organizing to rescue the prisoners reached the insur-gents from Milford Township in Bucks County. They met at the Spread Eagle Tavern and drewup a paper stating that the signers were agreed to march for the purpose of rescuing the prison-ers taken in Northampton County. They planned to meet at the Geryville Hotel the next morning

295

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 Shimervillethey 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, theyfound that the Northampton group had not yet crossed it. At this point, John Fries took com-mand and marched his company across the bridge and up to the Sun Inn. The two Northamptoncompanies were right behind him when he got to the Inn.

Two representatives were chosen to talk to the U.S. Marshall. The representative from Milfordwas John Fries and from Northampton was Henry Hoover. After meeting with the Marshall, theyreported to their Militias that the Marshall would not release the prisoners unless they wererescued by force of arms. Fries and his men entered the Inn and demanded the prisoners. TheMarshall warned Fries of the grave consequences of their actions, but decided to release theprisoners. 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 JohnAdams called his cabinet together and issued a proclamation authorizing military force to sup-press the actions of the insurgents. The proclamation was signed in Philadelphia by the presi-dent on March 12, 1799.

By Thursday, April 4, 1799, 500 U.S. Army troops under the command of General Macphersonwere assembled in Bucks County. The state of Pennsylvania called out 10,000 men to assist thearmy. The U.S. Army troops quartered at the tavern in Spring House and farmhouses in the areaon the night of April 4. The village of Spring House was on the old Bethlehem Pike in GywneddTownship, Montgomery County, twenty miles north of Philadelphia. The tavern was licensedabout 1735. Of interest, I currently live in the village of Spring House, not more than three milesfrom 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 Pikefor Sellers’ Tavern in Sellersville, Rockhill Township, Bucks County, where General Macphersonestablished his headquarters. Sellers’ Tavern was built by Samuel Sellers and opened for busi-ness 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 Seller’s Tavern. A picture appearson the next page. The sketch must be from a time period after the original construction as it is nolonger a stone square structure.

The North Pennsylvania Railroad established tracks through Sellersville in 1856. The tavernwas purchased by the railroad, which later added a beautiful forty-foot bar, six-story tower andcupola. A picture of that structure appears on page 148.

Judge Peters arrived at the headquartersin Sellers’ Tavern about 11 AM on Sat-urday, April 6, 1799, to bind over anypersons arrested. The first object of cap-ture was John Fries. David Penrose, aresident of Bunker Hill, a village on thenew Bethlehem Road between Richlandand Rockhill Townships, informed Gen-eral Macpherson that John Fries, whowas an auctioneer, would be at BunkerHill, about one mile below Rich Hill thatday, April 6. General Macpherson dis-

patched four companies of cavalry, guided by David Penrose. As the troops approachedBunker Hill, John Fries, who was in the middle of an auction, saw the soldiers on theirhorses. 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 himselfin a thick briar patch on the farm of John Kachline, half a mile from Bunker Hill. As thesoldiers approached, “Whisky” sensed danger. Fries attempted to hold the small dog’s jawstogether with one hand and to hold him with the other hand. The dog, however, broke freeand went for the nearest soldier. The jig was up. Fries offered no resistance and was taken toSeller’s Tavern where he was arraigned by Judge Peters. Fries was held at Sellers’ Tavern untilhe could be taken to the prison in Philadelphia.

Trial was set for May 1, 1799, in the Circuit Court in Philadelphia. After nine days of testi-mony, Fries was found guilty. Counsel for Fries, however, asked for a new trial because one ofthe jurymen had declared prejudice against the prisoner. The request was granted and a newtrial was scheduled for Thursday, April 24, 1800, in Norristown.

Fries’ counsel, however, withdrew from the case claiming the Judge’s proceedings were illegaland unprecedented. The Judge asked Fries if he wished to be represented but he declined. Theresult of the second trial was the same— “guilty.”

The court met on Friday, May 2, 1800, to sentence the prisoner. Judge Chase addressed Friesand ordered that he be hanged by the neck until dead. The hanging was set for Friday, May 23,1800.

Three Philadelphia ministers, Rev J. H. C. Helmuth of the Lutheran Church, Rev. Asbel Greenof the Presbyterian Church, and Bishop White of the Episcopal Church, requested an audiencewith President Adams. They met with the president to plead for leniency for the prisoners (twoother insurgents from Milford Township, Frederick Heany and George Gettman, also were sen-tenced to hang).

President Adams reviewed the court case and a study of the report by Fries’ lawyers for theirreasons for withdrawing from the case. On May 2, 1800, he informed Rev. Helmuth that theprisoners would not be hanged. Two days later, the president pardoned all persons involved inthe insurrection.

John Fries returned to his home in Milford Township where he spent the rest of his life. He diedin early 1818 at the age of about 68. He was reported to be buried in the old graveyard at ChristChurch in Trumbauersville, but a stone marking his final resting place could not be located.

The marriage of my great-grandfather, Henry S. Gretzinger, to Ellamanda A. Hoff establishedthe Gretzinger connection to the Levi/Levy family. Ellamanda was the daughter of Carey Hoffand Mary Levy (see page 76 entry number 4). I knew very little about the Levy family eventhough I had been a childhood friend with Paul E. Levy. Paul lived in my hometown ofTrumbauersville, 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 theLevy line. He said his family had done some research and he provided me with copies of theirgenealogy 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 DavidLevi/Levy. A copy of my descendant’s report of David Levy begins on page 315.

The following narrative begins with David Levy, my 5th great-grandfather, and concludes withthe Levy connection to the Gretzinger family line. The reader is referred to the genealogy reportfor the remainder of the Levy descendants.



1. Da1. Da1. Da1. Da1. David Levid Levid Levid Levid Levyvyvyvyvy

The Levy genealogy charts recorded David’s birth as July 9, 1728. It is believed he was born inGermany and immigrated as a single man at the age of about 30 prior to 1760. To verify David’simmigration, I researched a number of records and uncovered two immigration records for aDavid 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 92there 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 tothe German Settlers of Pennsylvania and Adjacent Territory, published by the Baltimore Genea-logical Publishing Co., 1981 and reprinted in 1989. On page 242, there is a listing for a DavidLevi immigrating in 1759 and arriving in Pennsylvania.

We know from the parish records of the New Goshenhoppen Church located in Upper HanoverTownship, Montgomery County, Pa. that David Levi was in Pennsylvania in 1759, since he was

304

baptized in this church on April 20, 1759, by the Rev. George Michael Weiss. A record of theconversion was recorded on page 23 of the church records. The baptism record also stated thatDavid converted from Judaism to Christianity. At the time of his conversion, David spelled hissurname as “Levi.”

Two years after his baptism, he married Margaretha EshbaughEshbaughEshbaughEshbaughEshbaugh on September 7, 1761, in NewHanover Township, Montgomery County, Pa. She was the daughter of John EshbaughEshbaughEshbaughEshbaughEshbaugh and MariaAntesAntesAntesAntesAntes. . . . . David and Margaretha had nine children, five daughters and four sons.

Local tax records recorded that David was a farmer. In the records for 1781, his property wasvalued at 410 (pounds) and his tax was 8 (pounds), 4 (shillings) and 0 (pence). In 1782 hisproperty was valued at 410 (pounds) and his tax 3 pounds, 10 shillings and 8 pence. The 1783tax records noted that David’s farm had 214 acres and three horses, four cattle and six sheep. Italso noted that he had no slaves. Using a conservative currency conversion factor of $1.00 U.S.to a pound, David’s property would have been valued at $410 in 1781. Today, his propertywould be valued at almost $800,000.

David and his wife had nine children, four males and five females. The last child was born in1778 when David was 50 years of age.

David died on March 9, 1784, at the age of 56. He died in Upper Hanover Township, Montgom-ery County, Pa. and was buried at the New Goshenhoppen Cemetery. Rev. Frederick Dellikerconducted the burial service. David was my 5th great-grandfather.

Margaretha, David’s wife, lived for at least another 24 years. She died sometime after 1808 inNew Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pa. It is not know where she was buried.

The marriage of my great-grandaunt, Caroline S. Gretzinger, to Charles H. Weidner establishedthe Gretzinger connection to the Weidner family. This marriage is also listed in Chapter 2, page32. 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, page298. Prior to my research of the Weidner family, I was unaware of these connections to theWeidners.

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 FriesRebellion.

The genealogy of the Weidner family begins with the immigrant, John Henry Weidner. He islisted as entry 1 on the genealogy report beginning on page 346.



1. John Henr1. John Henr1. John Henr1. John Henr1. John Henry Wy Wy Wy Wy Weidnereidnereidnereidnereidner

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 onDecember 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 purchased100 acres of land in Milford Township just east of the present borough limits of Trumbauersvillein 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 rateof farmland of 2.5%).

Some of the Weidner land was part of the “Manor of Richland” which William Penn had sur-veyed in 1703. About half of Penn’s land was originally sold to merchants in Philadelphia whoresold it in smaller lots. John Weidner purchased his land from Herman Briel who purchased itfrom 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, fourmales and six females.

336

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



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.

2.2.2.2.2. Daniel WDaniel WDaniel WDaniel WDaniel Weidnereidnereidnereidnereidner

Daniel was born in February 1765 in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. He married Adelheit(aka Edith) HuberHuberHuberHuberHuber,,,,, daughter of Heinrich HuberHuberHuberHuberHuber and Anna NaefNaefNaefNaefNaef. . . . . Adelheit was also born inMilford Township, Bucks County, Pa. Daniel and his wife had ten children, six males and fourfemales. As noted above, Daniel inherited about 100 acres of land from his father and he pur-chased an additional 100 acres.

In 1813, Daniel died in Trumbauersville, Pa. at the age of 48. In his will he provided for his wifeand children. His second eldest son, John, who received 100.6 acres of land, was to conveyportions to his brother, David, and three of his sisters, Mary, Leah and Elizabeth. Daniel’s twinsons, Daniel, Jr. and Jacob, together received 70.5 acres. They were to convey portions to theirthree sisters Ann, Mary and Leah, and to their brother, Joseph.

From each of the son’s inheritances, Daniel provided a dower for his wife, Adelheit. (A dower isthat part of a man’s property that his wife inherits for life). Her dower amounted to $3, 866.Today, this dower would be equivalent to $2 million.

Henry’s portion of the estate, after the dower to his mother, was $1,924 (today it would equivalentto $1.2 million). John’s portion after the dower was $2,835 (in today’s dollars, $1.7 million).Daniel’s and Jacob’s 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 knownabout the source of his funds, occupation or business.

Daniel’s wife, Adelheit, lived for another 26 years after the death of her husband. She died onWednesday, April 10, 1839, in Milford Township, Bucks County, Pa. at the age of 76. As notedearlier, Adelheit was my 1st cousin, six times removed.

TTTTThe Behe Behe Behe Behe Beginninginninginninginninginninggggg

Prior to the first century BC, Celts (or Celtic-speaking people) were in possession of the land now knownas Württemberg. During the first century BC, Germans poured into this area from the north and Ro-mans from the south. The Romans gained the upper hand and occupied Württemberg until the 4thcentury 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 endingin “ing” and “ingham.” The “ing” signifies “son of” or “family.” For example, Bastings is the settle-ment named for the Bas family. Numerous settlements with names ending in “ingen” are found inWürttemberg, Baden and Bavaria. Some historians believe that it is probable that the Anglo-Saxonswho 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 byprinces, dukes and counts appointed by the Holy Roman Empire. At the time, Württemberg was partof Swabia. A local dynasty of counts, the Wirtembergs (Württembergs), were firmly established inthe region by the late 11th century. By the mid 1300s, they began to extend their control over largesections of Swabia. As the power of the Holy Roman Empire faded, the Wirtembergs began to exertmore independence. Württemberg 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 Lutheranismand confiscated church lands. His son, Duke Christopher (reigned 1550-1568) set up a central-ized state church and became the leader of the German Protestantism. Duke Frederick, whoreigned from 1593 to 1608, secured release from Habsburg overlordship and was the pillar ofthe Lutheran and Calvinist Princes (1608).

Württemberg was devastated in the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) and fell prey to the Frenchinvasions from 1688 until 1693 during the War of the Grand Alliance. Yet the country enjoyedprogressive government. For example, compulsory education was introduced in 1649. DukeEberhard Louis (reigned 1693-1733) improved the duchy’s defenses and schools, built the cel-ebrated Ludwigsburg Palace, and admitted Waldensian refugees from France. These Frenchrefugees introduced the textile and other industries into the duchy.

Württemberg was made a kingdom in 1806 by Napoleon in his reorganization of Germany. Headded a significant portion of land to the south of “old” Württemberg. The new land wasknown as “new” Württemberg. A map of old and new Württemberg is shown on the next page.Württemberg remained a kingdom until Napoleon’s downfall in 1815 when he was defeated atWaterloo by the Anglo-Prussian armies under the command of Prussian General Blücher andBritish General Wellington.

Württemberg 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 theupper 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 wascustomary for the same parcels to be given to the same farmer each year, and after a number ofgenerations, individual ownership in the land became established.

In the farming villages, lofty five and six story houses were built using massive wooden uprightsand beams (similar to the steel structure in today’s skyscrapers). Steep tiled roofs sloped over theupper two or three stories. The ground floor was used as a stable. The family occupied the nexttwo floors. Heat from the animals on the first floor helped to warm the family in the wintermonths. The upper floors were used to store hay and grain.

Württemberg’s population was about two million. Two-thirds were Protestant and one thirdCatholic. Small towns and villages were overwhelmingly Catholic or Protestant. Protestant vil-lages were chiefly in old Württemberg and Catholic villages were mostly in new Württemberg.This was the result of the Reformation and Augsberg Peace of 1555. Under the terms of thissettlement, if the ruler of the village was Catholic, his subjects were to be Catholic, or they wereasked to relocate. The same was true for subjects in villages ruled by Protestants.

Württemberg rulers were consistently Protestant, except for Duke Carl Alexander who, in 1750,proposed to introduce Catholicism into old Württemberg. The people, however, had no desire tochange. The duke died suddenly thereafter, and after his death there was no further effort tochange the religion of the people of Württemberg.

By the mid-1800s, a liberal nationalist movement was underway to unify Germany and to estab-lish a federal constitution. King Frederick William IV of Prussia agreed in 1848 to establish anassembly in the city of Frankfurt that would draft a constitution. The liberals were demandingmore 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 inNovember of 1848, King Frederick William IV dissolved the Frankfurt assembly and retained allexecutive authority in his (the King’s) 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 Grözingerwas among them.
