    Notes:

    Philip Kreider married Leah Bowman, and in April, 1834, removed with his family to the present site of Centre Hall, traveling in a wagon, the journey from Lebanon County requiring three days. He and Christian Hoffer, who with his family made the trip at the same time, purchased what was then known as the James Lyons farm, and divided it, Mr. Kreider taking the lower portion where Centre Hall now stands. Four years later he moved to Linden Hall, and after one year there located in what is now Penn Township. Centre county. He was a carpenter in his younger days, later becoming a merchant and hotel keeper, his thrifty and industrious life enabling him to secure a comfortable competence.
    He and his wife were devout members of the Reformed Church, and were highly esteemed in the community. The wife died April 4, 1856, the husband on January 7, 1842, and the remains of both were laid to rest at Aaronsburg. Their children were Malinda A. (Mrs. Stover); William S., who died in 1855 in Penn township.
