    Notes:

    H. R. ACHENBACH, R. R. Agent and Postmaster, Farmington; one of the most genial and popular gentlemen on the line of the Central Branch. He is a native of Pennsylvania, and was born in Clinton County, December 5, 1844. He was reared and educated in his native State, graduating from the People's Commercial College at Reading. After leaving this college, he clerked in the Prothonotary and Register and Recorder's office at Lock Haven, Clinton Co., Pa. Then he went to Williamsport, where he was engaged in the confectionery and bakery business with his brother. His father, Hon. George A. Achenbach, is one of the leading citizens of Clinton County, and for a number of years has been prominently identified officially. We clip from the sketch-book of legislatures of Pennsylvania, in 1876, the following: "George A. Achenbach, Representative from Clinton County, is a gentleman of reputation on the Democratic side of the House. He was born in Columbia County, October 22, 1815, before the birth of the common schools, consequently was educated in the subscription schools, which were in vogue at that day. At twelve years of age he became a clerk in a store. In 1836, he moved to Sugar Valley, then in Center, but now in Clinton County, where he engaged in managing the mercantile interests of a furnace company. In 1860, he was elected to the Legislature from Clinton and Lycoming Counties, serving his constituents so satisfactorily that he was returned by a large majority. He was a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention, serving on some important committees. Mr. A. is very unassuming at his post of duty, and is emphatically a business legislator. He is a man stout built, but not corpulent, with gray hair, large head, and closely shaven face, his countenance indicating good nature. " H. R. resided in Pennsylvania until 1877, when he came West, arriving in Atchison County, July 6. He at once engaged in merchandising. In that capacity he was identified until the summer of 1881. During that time he took up the study of telegraphy, and was appointed railroad agent October 27, 1880. He had received his appointment as Postmaster, October 24, 1877. In both capacities he is eminently qualified, and without the radiant countenance of "Auchy," at the station, Farmington would have but few attractions. He was married June 24, 1869, to Miss Annie F. Ayers, a native of Chester County, Pa., an estimable lady. They have had four children - Mary E., Preston A., Harry S., and James P. Mr. A. is an Odd-Fellow, and in 1876 was District Deputy of Clinton County, Pa., organizing Salona Lodge, No. 937, June 24, 1876. He is also Master Mason.

    Notes:

    The death yesterday at 7 p.m. in the Williamsport Hospital of Guy H. Achenbach, 87, stirs a host of literally sweet memories about a man whose early career in Lock Haven was that of an ice cream manufacturer and confectioner, for many years. Mr. Achenbach, popular in many civic and social activities during his residence in Lock Haven, was proud of his skill in art sugar designing. His friends,
    far and near, often had been treated to his elaborate confections on birthdays and anniversaries. Mr. Achenbach, whose roots were in Clinton County, had provided cakes for hundreds of the humble and the great, including one for the late Connie Mack on his birthday.Mr. Achenbach, had been a guest at Sycamore Manor, Williamsport, for the past two years of seriously declining health. He had returned to Lock Haven in 1962 from residence in Philadelphia and Florida. He made his home with his son, Col. Hall F. Achenbach, 426 West Main St. Guy Achenbach was born July 2,1881 in Topeka, Kansas, where
    his father, Byron C. Achenbach was then residing. He was a son of a Sugar Valley family, however. His grandfather,George B. Achenbach, had been a Pennsylvania legislator, attending the Constitutional Convention on the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1874.In 1896 ,B. C Achenbach his father, established an ice cream and bakery business in Lock Haven, at East Main Street and Fallon Alley, which Guy Achenbach joined and later purchased, operating it as a leading business in Lock Haven until 1931. He continued his career specializing in catering and art sugar design work in Philadelhia for the next twenty years Then moved, in 1951, to St Petersburg, Fla. for ten years of further active retirement. He returned to Lock Haven to resume long-established associations here, as a charter member of the Lock Haven Rotary Club, and half-century member of Lafayette Lodge, F and A.M. He had belonged to Lafayette lodge 60 years at the time of his death. In July of 1962, when he was 81, the Lock Haven Rotary Club made him an honorary member. Mr. Achenbach's death leaves J. Woods Rich of Wool rich as the only living charter member of the Lock Haven Rotary Club. A source of great pride though little financial remuneration to Mr. Achenbach was his claim to having invented and named "cracker jack." As an apprentice to a Pittsburgh candy manufacturer when young man, he conceived the idea of putting sugar syrup on pop com, and called the product 'cracker jack." For his original recipe that was later developed into a popular confection, Mr. Achenbach received the munificent sum of $5. A man who enjoyed singing he had led music for man;groups, including the Rotary Luncheons. He was a member of St Luke's United Church of Christ, also the Knights Templar of Lock Haven. He was married to the former Anna Freed, whose death occurred in 1924. His son, a retired Air Fore officer and teacher in the Lock Haven High School, two grandchildren and four great grandchildren, are his immediate survivors.
