"Lutheran and Reformed Church of Freeburg"--These distinct congregations erected a Union Church at Freeburg in 1812. The history of each will here be given in connection with the church building.
"On the Morr farm, now owned by Augustus Springman, our forefathers worshipped in a private log house long before a church was erected. In 1770 a patent was granted to Andrew Morr, Casper Roush, a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and Peter Straub, for forty-two acres of land one mile north of Freeburg, for the use of the Lutheran Church. On this land they built a log school-house, which was also used for a church for seventeen years. About six acres of this land is still owned by the Lutheran congregation at Freeburg, and an old cemetery, which has been recently newly fenced and cleared is on a part of this land." In 1787 the Lutherans commenced building a church on the grounds, called Zion's Church, but never finished it. In this church they worshipped twenty-eight years. Pewter Flagon and Chalice was donated by Andreas and Catharina E. Morr on 29 July 1795.

162 Author of Genealogy of the Meyer Family. 1890.

Henry — author of this book — was born in Miles township, Centre County, Pa., Dec. 8, 1840. It is not considered good taste for one to "blow his own horn." I shall, therefore, be very brief. I was brought up on father's farm doing such work as usually falls to the lot of farmer boys; and during the Winter season attended, two or three months in a term, the common schools of the neighborhood. In the Spring of 1860 I left home to learn the millwright trade with John Todd, then residing at Potters Mills, Pa., — a trade which both father and grandfather had followed before me. Whatever spare time I had was generally devoted to reading, and the study of mathematics or other subjects that had a bearing on my trade. Sometime in August, 1862, I returned home and on the 19th of that month enlisted in the army for "three years or during the war." A number of my old comrades enlisted about the same time and we were a few days later organized at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, Pa., as Company "A" of the 148. Regt. P. V. We went through the usual disciplinary stages of the volunteer soldier, and first got down to serious business at Chancellorsville, Va., May, 1863. There was in me a slight leaven of the military spirit, and the boom of cannon, the shriek of the shells, the roar of the musketry, the cheer of the Union Soldiers and the yell of the Rebels reverberating through the deep woods raised my enthusiasm to the highest pitch, and I felt as though I could myself vanquish a whole regiment of the enemy! That was while we lay on the picket line in an opposite direction and at a tolerably safe distance from the disturbance. But later on after a better acquaintance with the serious work before us, when those shrieking missiles began to come uncomfortably close and streams of mangled boys in blue came passing by us to the rear, then, well then, it must be confessed, my ardor abated very considerably. That was the mental and moral experience, I believe, of most of the soldiers. I was in every battle in which the regiment was engaged until my discharge, among which were those of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Auburn Mills, Mine Run, the Wilderness and Po River or Laurel Hill, besides several skirmishes of lesser note. Never being in the hospital I took in all. I was slightly wounded at Chancellorsville, but more seriously at Po River, May 10, 1864; a minnie ball passing through my left hand near the wrist which necessitated amputation and which operation was performed May 17, 1864. by A. F. Sheldon, Surgeon in charge of Campbell Hospital, Washington, P. C. I was discharged at my own request in September following, came home and entered the Rebersburg Select School then in progress. The mutilated condition of my corporeal part rendered my trade useless to me and it became necessary to mark out a new course for the future. I taught school during the following Winter ('64 and '65), went to school again the next Summer and thus continued teaching and going to school alternately for several years. In 1866 I attended the Union Seminary, New Berlin, Pa., and in the Fall of 1868 I entered the Keystone State Normal School at Kutztown, Pa., graduating with first honors the Spring following. I assisted Supt. R. M. Magee in the Centre County Normal School for a number of years. In May, 1S75, I was elected County Superintendent of Common Schools of Center Co., for a term of three years, and was re-elected without opposition to the same office May, 1878. In the Fall of 1882 I was elected a member of the State Legislature, which, for reasons that need not be stated here, was in continuous session from Jan. 2, 1883, to Dec. 6, same year. I was married at Unionville. Centre Co., Pa., Jan. 18, 1872, to Martha Jane, daughter of Thomas J. Taylor ; and have lived ever since at Rebersburg. Pa.

179 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ZERBE, M. D. - Born October 11, 1853. Died May 30, 1915. Aged 61 yrs., 7 mos and 19 days. Dr. Zerbe was the youngest of three sons of Dr. Jonathan and Martha A. (Meyer) Zerbe. Dr. Jonathan was born in Tulpehocken, Berks County, Pa., in 1811, from whence, after maturity, and after having spent some years in the State of Virginia, where he attended school, and after his return to Pennsylvania, he came to Schaefferstown in 1837, and settled there. Later he attended a course of lectures at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, and on his return to Schaefferstown took up the practice of medicine there, and in time became prominent in medical circles and in public life. The American progenitor of the Zerbe family came to America from one of the French Cantons of Switzerland in the days of Queen Anne, settled in Berks County in 1723, and obtained a grant of land there. On the maternal side the family is related to the Schaeffer family, whose ancestor in this country, Alexandria Schaeffer, founded Schaefferstown (then known as. Heidelberg) in 1743, he having come from the University town of Heidelberg, in Baden, Germany, hence this early name of Schaefferstown, and still the name of the township of which it is the centre.

After a course in his home schools and one at Palatinate College, Myerstown, Dr. Zerbe took up the reading of medicine with his father and older brother, Dr. Thomas T., and subsequently took a course in the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, from which he was graduated in 1878. After practicing his profession for some time with the late Dr. George Gleim at Cornwall, he settled down in his native town and continued his practice there to the day of his death. Along with this he engaged in his later years, with his brother, Dr. Thomas T., quite extensively in the industry of cigar manufacturing, the eastern section of Heidelberg Township and the neighboring Millbach section having gone largely into the growing of tobacco, for which their soils, like that of many parts of the adjacent county of Lancaster, had been found especially adapted.

Dr. Zerbe, as a member of the Republican Party for years took an active part in the political affairs of his county, like his father, who had aided in organizing that party in Lebanon County and had taken an aggressive part in the Fremont Campaign of 1856, and also represented his county in the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1870 - 71. Dr. Zerbe served as Prothonotary of the county during the years 1907, 1908 and 1909. He also was at one time a member of the School Board of Heidelberg Township.

He was admitted to membership in the Lebanon County Historical Society Aug. 15, 1913. On November, 1883, he was united in marriage with Miss Ida a daughter of the late Judge George S. Lauser of Schaefferstown, who survives him, together with a son, Charles L. Zerbe, a former Deputy Prothonotary during the term of his father and that of Eli Wallace, of Newmanstown. He is also survived by his brother. Dr. Thomas T., already mentioned, and by another brother, Charles M. Zerbe. Esq., an Attorney at Lebanon, and at one time President of the Lebanon Bar Association and one sister Jennie M., the wife of Jacob F. Hickernell, of Schaefferstown, and also had another sister, Agnes E., the deceased wife of Dr. George Mays, of Philadelphia, who formerly, but now deceased, was a valued member of this Society and contributed to it a number of excellent papers.

182 Bio of Dr. Edwards, excerpted from Aunt Effie Potter's genealogy (written 1958):

Isaac Lowe Edwards, M. D., b. 11-26-1845 on the Isaac Lowe farm on Lime Ridge, Columbia County, Penna., & spent most of his life in this county. He was a man about 5 ft., 10 in., tall, of medium weight, very erect, had unusual physical endurance, fine looking, graceful carriage, always well groomed, very affable, well read, and an intelligent leader in his community as well as having been highly respected for professional ability. (He wore mustache and Van Dyke beard). He had a good command of the English language and was a forceful public speaker. He was always in the forefront of the battle for righteousness. To the liquor evil he gave no quarter, fighting it at every opportunity through local organizations & the County Courts with a determination that would not recognize defeat.
Dr. Edwards was educated in the public schools of Briar Creek and Salem Townships. At 17 years of age, he attended the Orangeville Academy 1 term, teaching part of the time. He taught 2 terms in the city schools of Wilkes Barre, Penna., where he served as assistant to the superintendent and the two effected the first classification and grading of this city’s schools. Just previous to teaching in Wilkes Barre he taught one term at Beach Grove, Salem Twp., one term at The Hill School in the same twp., and one term at Espy, Col. Co., Pa. Through all his life he was a keen student of the Bible. He graduated the Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pa., in 1868. That same year he began the study of medicine under Dr. P. M. Senderling of Berwick, Pa., & later entered Jefferson Medical College, Phila. Pa., from which he graduated 1870.
Dr. Edwards began the practice of medicine in Orangeville, Col. Co., Penna. & practiced in partnership with Dr. Chapin until after Mar. 11 1873 when he married and brought his bride to Benton. Some time later they moved to Berwick where Dr. Edwards practiced 2 years, but returned to Benton in the spring of 1875 where his son, Myrom, was born May 9, 1875, and a partnership was formed with Dr. I. E. Patterson, his brother-in-law, who had been in partnership for one year with Dr. Chapin who now moved to Michigan. The partnership of Dr. Edwards and Dr. Patterson lasted four years. Then each practiced separately in Benton. Dr. Patterson until his death Jan. 16, 1929. Dr. Edwards continued practicing in Benton about 43 years except the period of 2 years in Berwick. He was compelled to retire on account of the loss of his eyesight through an attack of glaucoma. Dr. Fox, an eye specialist of Phila., diagnosed the eye trouble & operated successfully May, 1914, but too late to save most of the sight already destroyed.

Married 3-11-1873 the beautiful Sarah Lavina Patterson, b. 4-18-1846; daughter of Wm. & Charity Anne (Kline) Patterson. “Sallie,” b. in Orange Twp., Columbia County, Penna. . . . They [had] attended Orangeville Academy at the same time, 1863-1865.

The 1st Benton Women’s Christian Temperance Union, organized 3-23-1890, elected Mrs. I. L. Edwards president, Mrs. J. B. Laubach (mother of Dr. Frank Laubach), vice-president. The first regular meeting was held in the Edwards home, and Dr. Edwards became an honorary member.
Throughout their married life, Dr. and Mrs. Edwards entertained innumerable out of town Christian workers in their home.

Surveying was an avocation of Dr. Edwards. After the big fire at Patterson Grove in 1892 he was engaged, in 1893, to make a survey of the grounds preparatory to rebuilding. For this service he declined to accept any compensation. Later he was given a lot on which he erected a cottage 1894. Each Campmeeting thereafter he and some of his family attended as long as he lived. His daughter, Effie Edwards Potter, now owns the cottage.

In 1877 Dr. Edwards purchased 50 acres of timber land one mile north of Benton, Pa. On this land was a house and only a small clearing. After a few years this land was entirely cleared, farm buildings erected, a large adjoining field, purchased from Wm. Mendenhall, was added and all was cultivated by a tenant farmer. The spring of 1899 his son, Myrom with his wife & daughter, Vida, moved to this farm and purchased it in 1912. Myrom sold this farm in 1944.

[After his wife's death,] Dr. Edwards then made his home with his children and enjoyed good health, except for the loss of his sight, until his death due to infirmities of age at the home of his son in Benton Twp., Col. Co., Pa., 6-12-1934. Both Dr. and Mrs. Edwards are buried in the Benton cemetery. Both of their sons are also buried there.

186 biography from Find a Grave:
Source: Floyd's Northumberland County Genealogy (1910), pg 714-715:

Daniel P. Hilbish was born in 1810 in Washington Township, Snyder County, and died in February, 1861. He is buried at Freeburg. A farmer by occupation, he prospered in his calling, and not only owned the old Hilbish homestead in Snyder county but also the farm in Point Township, Northumberland County, now owned by his son John A. Hilbish.

He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, a leader in the affairs of his district, held various public offices, and was one of the original founders of the Freeburg Academy, serving on the building committee and later as trustee. He contributed largely to the construction and was the leading spirit in the foundation of this institution, where his children were educated. On the question of education he had strong convictions, and he did much work beneficial to the community. He was a Republican in politics, and in religion a member of the Reformed Church, which he supported with his influence and means.

The old homestead which he owned, and which his son Samuel G. took after his death, has now (1910) been in the family name for 125 years, and was all in the forest when taken up by his grandfather, Peter. In 1846 Daniel P. Hilbish purchased the farm in Point township mentioned before, upon which he erected a full set of buildings, which the Pennsylvania Company purchased in 1909.

He was a man whose judgment was so highly esteemed that he was frequently sought for advice by his neighbors, and he had the respect of all who knew him.

He married Elizabeth Glass, daughter of George and Sarah (Brill) Glass, of Washington Township, Snyder County, whose family were pioneers in that district coming thither while the Indians were still roaming the territory.

187 Biography from Find a Grave:
The son of Arthur & Sarah (Fox) Moyer, in 1860 he was a farmer living in Derry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. He stood 6' 0" tall and had dark hair and gray eyes.

A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in New Cumberland, Cumberland County, August 9, 1862, and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg August 17 as a private with Co. H, 130th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company May 21, 1863. He then enlisted and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg February 2, 1864, as a private with Battery M, 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery (112th Pa), but on April 20, 1864, due to excessive recruiting, transferred to Battery K, 2nd Pennsylvania Provisional Heavy Artillery.
He was wounded on the top of the head June 17, 1864, at Petersburg, Virginia, resulting in a skull fracture and, he claimed, hearing loss and "partial derangement of mind." On September 5, 1864, the provisionals transferred back to the 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. He was absent sick at muster out but according to his pension, he was discharged at City Point, Virginia, January 29, 1866, per general order. He later applied to the War Department for his veteran bonus that he claimed he never had received.

He married Amanda G. Briner August 5, 1870, in Harrisburg and fathered Georgia Elsie (b. 12/26/71 - married a Karl), Henry K. "Harry" (b. 01/20/73 or 76), Emmet L. (b. 01/20/76 - twin?), Mauda M. (b. 04/15/77 - married Harry C. Stephvens [sic - spelling per death certificate; probably wrong]), and Florence Anna (b. 06/12/81 - married Harry T. Miller). In 1880-90, he lived in Harrisburg, Dauphin County, but died in Swatara Township, from "lobar pneumonia."

188 Biography of George A. Achenbach
George A. Achenbach, Representative from Clinton county, is a gentleman of influence on the Democratic side of the House. He was born in Columbia county, October 22, 1815, before the birth of the common school system, consequently was educated at the subscription schools in vogue in his early days. At the age of twelve or thirteen he found himself a clerk in a store, and in 1836 moved to Sugar Valley, then Center, but now Clinton county, and was engaged to manage the mercantile interests of a furnace company. In 1860 he was elected to the Legislature from Clinton and Lycoming counties, and he served his people with such integrity and profound intelligence that they sent him as their delegate to the Constitutional convention in 1873, where he faithfully served them on the two important committees of legislature and industrial interests and labor. He never assumed to be anything but a plain and unassuming man, and his compeers always know where to find him ? at the post of duty. He is emphatically a business legislator, and no honorable gentleman attends more regularly to his legislative duties.
In personal appearance Mr. Achenbach is about the medium, and rather stoutly built, yet with nothing resembling corpulency. He has a large head, gray hair, face cleanly shaven, and an expression of countenance indicating great good nature. Socially he is every inch a man, and although he takes no talking part, he is morally and mentally a match for the mightiest in voting for measures of substantial reform.

Death of Hon. Geo. A. Achenbach
It becomes our painful duty today to announce the death of Hon. Geo. A. Achenbach of Logansville, which sad event occurred Wednesday night at half past 7 o?clock. Mr. Achenbach was born October 22, 1815, and dying November 17, 1886, was consequently 70 years, 1 month and 25 days old. The deceased was one of the best known and most respected citizens of Clinton county and his death will be widely lamented. He had been in bad health for a long time, his disease being more a general breaking down of the system than any one thing in particular. He had lived in retirement at his pleasant home in Logansville for many years, and had so withdrawn himself from public life that he had been practically forgotten by his former political friends and associates. Personally, however, George A. Achenbach was always affectionately remembered and warmly greeted by all.
Mr. Achenbach represented Clinton county in the State Legislature at Harrisburg in 1875. He previously had been a member of the constitutional convention and his name was always the first one called on the roll. It was said of him that the Democratic members of that body always waited to see how Achenbach voted and then they followed suit as he was always right. He was not a speechmaker, but a well informed and level-headed man, and his judgment and ability were highly respected, even by such men as Judge Jeremiah Black, Gov. A. G. Curtain and other distinguished members of that convention. In the years of 1867 and 1868 Mr. Achenbach was the revenue assessor for this district.
He was an active and ardent Democrat during the political period of his life, and his influence was perhaps greater than that of many others in that county. He was bold and outspoken, frank and earnest in everything he did, and no man was ever more beloved and esteemed by the people generally.
The funeral of the late Hon. G. A. Achenbach at Logansville on Saturday, November 20, 1886, was attended by a large number of relatives and friends from this and adjoining counties. Religious services over the remains were conducted in the Reformed and Lutheran church by Rev. J. H. Miller, and assisted by Rev. R. C. Goodland-all of which were very solemn and touching. The interment was made in the cemetery by the church, and as the body was lowered into its resting place the universal sentiment was that one of the best men had been hidden from sight forever. He was missed by the poor as he always had a kind word for them. The following named neighbors acted as pallbearers: Jacob Kiester, John Weaver, Samuel Wohlford, Samuel Stamm, John Morris and D. M. Morris.
