    Notes:

    Grist-Mills. - The first grist-mill in the valley occupied the site of the mill now owned by J. K. Meyer,
    Centre Mills. It was a small log building having but two pairs of home-made millstones, one pair of which was used for chop and the other for flour. The bolt-reel was turned by hand. It was built and owned by a Mr. Kreamer, states Mr. John Hoy (who is now eighty-seven years of age, and gave a number of facts mentioned in this sketch). When this mill was built cannot be ascertained definitely, but it was prior to 1798, for in that year Col. Henry Meyer did some repairing in it, as is seen by entries in his old account-book. In the same year Mr. Meyer made some repairs at John Motz's mill, Penn's Valley.
    The old mill was purchased by Tobias Pickle when he came into the valley, and it was replaced by the present stone mill. It was built in 1802 or 1803, according to recollection of Henry Meyer, whose father. Col. Meyer, made the millwright work. The story that it took seventy-five barrels of whiskey to build his mill is probably an exaggeration. The mill now owned by Daniel Walker was built in 1819. It occupies the site of one built about the year 1802, which was burned down. Mr. Daniel Dubbs, of York County, built it in the first place, and it was subsequently owned by his son Oswald.
    The first mill on the site of William Meyer's present mill was built by Christopher Royer in 1819. In the year following (1820) Abraham Reber erected a gristmill near Madisonburg, on the farm now owned by Reuben Grimm. It was burned down not long after, and a distillery along with it, which had been in operation as early as the year 1803. Philip Wolfart erected a grist-mill on his farm (later Snook's) in 1824. It was not kept in repair for want of custom. At Gramly's Gap used to be a small flouring-mill, which was subsequently changed into a fulling-mill. At Madisonburg there is at present a small grist-mill in operation. Wolf's mill was erected in 1834 by Anthony Wolf. It is a fine stone mill, and in good repair. An oil-mill used to be at the same place.
    Before there were any grist-mills in Brush valley the early settlers took their grain to Kishacoquillas valley to have it ground. They went by way of Penn's Creek Springs, at the west end of the valley. The Ertles, - Valentine, Daniel, and Philip, - who were among the first settlers about the present neighborhood of Madisonburg, cut a path across the mountains into Penn's valley, and took their grain on horse-back to the valley above stated. Their route through the Seven Mountains and the pike from Stover's across, it is said, followed nearly the same general direction. Later Mr. Hubler erected a small mill some distance below Aaronsburg, and the grain of Brush Valley was then taken there to be ground until the 1 small mill at Centre Mills was put in operation.

    "The 148th Pennsylvania Infantry was composed of volunteers raised chiefly in Centre County, Pennsylvania, with seven companies hailing from the county. Company C in particular was recruited in the area surrounding the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania (today known as Pennsylvania State University) and included many of the college's students.[1] The regiment was filled out with a company each from Clarion, Jefferson, and Indiana Counties.[2] Once companies were raised, the regiment was organized at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and mustered in for a three-year enlistment on September 8, 1862, under the command of Colonel James Addams Beaver."

    Notes:

    COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. Page 530

    George Meyer was the first of the family to come to Haines township, Centre county. He was born in Campbelltown, March 25, 1782, and in 1827 came to Centre county, buying a farm and millsite on Pine creek, where he erected a mill. He was a giant in strength, yet inferior to his brothers, Henry, John and Michael. He married Catharine Meyer, who was born December 2, 1788, a daughter of John Jacob Meyer, and died March 13, 1858. He passed away January 1, 1854, and was buried with his wife at Aaronsburg, Centre county. Their family constituted the following children: George, born January 13, 1806...; John, a farmer by occupation, died in Penn's Valley, January 28, 1878; Catharine married Andrew Harter, and died in Penn's Valley, October 3, 1S72; Henry died in Haines township. Centre county, March 9, 1877; Mary wedded Andrew Stover, and lives in Penn's Valley; Philip died in Haines township, June 25, 1876; and Jacob G., a resident of Aaronsburg, at one time represented his district in the State Legislature.



    From The Meyer Family Tree compiled by John D. Meyer, Tyrone, PA, October, 1937,
    In 1827 with his family moved to Center Co., PA purchasing a farm and mill site on Pine Creek one mile east of Coburn where he erected a grist mill. He was an accomplished singer. He was especially fond of the chase and his home was always headquarters for the hunters during the season.



    George Meyer came into Penn's Valley, Centre county, Pa., in 1837, locating on Pine Creek, south of Aaronsburg, Pa., where he purchased a farm and a mill site on which a grist mill was erected. (Property of John George Morr.) Mr. Meyer was a man of stout physical frame and great strength, but was inferior in that respect to his giant brothers, Henry, John and Michael. The Meyers were nearly all fine singers; many of them have been from generation to generation instructors in music, both vocal and instrumental, and have been leaders of choirs in the churches of the neighborhoods in which they resided. George Meyer led singing in the Reformed Church, Campbellstown, Pa., from the time he was sixteen years of age (1798) until 1827 when he removed to the vicinity of Aaronsburg, Pa. He led the singing in the Reformed Church, Aaronsburg, from 1827-32. Mr. Meyer was passionately fond of the chase, and often in company with near relatives, and others, indulged in this exhilarating pastime. His place was a recognized headquarters of the sporting fraternity of the neighborhood, and among those who frequently visited them were the famous hunters of that period, the Roush brothers. — Meyer Genealogy.

    From Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer. 1890, page 118.

    From Genealogy of The Morr Family. Julia Morr and her Descendants - chapter IX
    Catherine (Julia, Andrew,) was born in Penn's township, Northumberland County, Pa., near Freeburg, December 2, 1788; died March 13, 1858. She was married to George Meyer,* her cousin. He was born at Campbellstown, Lebanon county, Pa., March 25, 1782 ; died January 1, 1854 ; both are buried in the Reformed Cemetery, Aaronsburg, Pa. Catherine was a woman of small stature; was of a very kind, benevolent disposition, and greatly esteemed by her friends and neighbors for her many noble qualities.

    * George Meyer came into Penn's Valley, Centre County, Pa., in 1837, locating on Pine Creek, south of Aaronsburg, Pa., where he purchased a farm and a mill site on which a grist mill was erected. (Property of John George Morr.) Mr. Meyer was a man of stout physical frame and great strength, but was inferior in that respect to his giant brothers, Henry, John and Michael. The Meyers were nearly all fine singers; many of them have been from generation to generation instructors in music, both vocal and instrumental, and have been leaders of choirs in the churches of the neighborhoods in which they resided. George Meyer led singing in the Reformed Church, Campbellstown, Pa., from the time he was sixteen years of age (1798) until 1827 when he removed to the vicinity of Aaronsburg, Pa. He led the singing in the Reformed Church, Aaronsburg, from 1827-32. Mr. Meyer was passionately fond of the chase, and often in company with near relatives, and others, indulged in this exhilarating pastime. His place was a recognized headquarters of the sporting fraternity of the neighborhood, and among those who frequently visited them were the famous hunters of that period, the Roush brothers.

    Notes:

    From Family Memorial of John Phillip Achenbach and Descendants in the United States, by Sarah Jane Kline Houtz,
    Biography of John Achenbach by A. Houtz, Pastor.
    John Achenbach was born in Plainfield Township, Northampton County, Pa., on the 15th day of April, 1784, and was the third son of John Phillip Achenbach. On the 15th day of May, 1805 he and Miss Elizabeth Fehr were united in holy wedlock. This union was blessed with twelve children.
    About 1812 Mr. Achenbach and his brother Philip, with their families and their widowed mother moved to Briar Creek Township, Columbia County. Here he was engaged for a number of years in farming. While residing in the valley his aged mother died and was buried in the Briar Creek graveyard. About the year 1850 Mr. Achenbach disposed of his farm and moved to Orangeville. During a brief period of about two years he was associated in the village with Mr. C. S. Rickets in the mercantile business. He then purchased a farm near Orangeville, located on Fishing Creek, and again resumed the peaceful occupation of a tiller of the soil. Becoming aged, he quit this occupation in 1863 and subsequently lived a retired life at Orangeville.
    Mr. Achenbach was a man of medium size and was stout. He walked with a firm step and was soldierly and dignified in his bearing. He inherited from his father, who was evidently a merchant, good business qualities. He was considered a good accountant, a good manager and a reliable man. When he made an engagement of any kind, he could be depended upon. He maintained the reputation of being a man of his word.
    The social qualities of father Achenbach were good. Being naturally sociable, he had many friends. The hospitality of his home was known near and far, and was shared by many. Much credit should also be given to his amiable wife and to "Aunt Sara," who always tried to make it pleasant to those who tarried under their domestic roof. The latch-string always handing out, many, perhaps too many, took advantage of the kind invitation. As kind words and deeds cannot die, so the kindness of this generous man and his family shall live in the memory of those who shared their hospitality.
    Early in youth he received catechetical instruction and was received by confirmation into full membership of the Reformed Church at Plainfield. He was loyal to his church and became an active worker in it. He served on various committees of church work and for years filled the offices of deacon and elder. He was also sent several times as a delegate to the annual meeting of classes. The pastor always found in father Achenbach a good counselor and a hearty supporter in all worthy church enterprises.
    In the year 1863 it was his privilege and pleasure to attend the centennial of the Plainfield congregation. In attending this joyous celebration he was accompanied by his two daughters, Mrs. Rebecca Kline and Miss Sara Achenbach. He was one of a very few who survived its early history, and we can well imagine what mingled joy and sorrow flooded his soul as he called up the memories of the past.
    Mr. Achenbach was a man of strong religious conviction. He firmly stood by his church, and was unshaken in his confidence in God and his Savior.
    Being possessed with a sound body and mind, he lived to a good old age and was gathered to his people. He lived a life of usefulness; he generously ministered to the necessities of others, and with a calm and trustful heart he waited the coming of his Lord. He, too, is now sharing the hospitality of our Father's Heaven. Farewell, departed sire. We hope to meet thee in the fellowship of Heaven.
