| 404 | Elizabeth's son Samuel Harper: SIMON HARPER, president of the Penn Valley Banking Co., Centre Hall, and a retired merchant, is one of the substantial citizens of Penn's Valley, and few as good examples of self-made men are to be found in the locality, certainly none better. Mr. Harper comes of an old family, and was born July 31, 1842, at Spring Bank, Miles township. Centre county, youngest living child of George Harper, who was born in Berks county, Penn. , a son of Henry Harper. George Harper received but limited schooling, chiefly in the German language, and was reared to farming pursuits. In Brush Valley he married Elizabeth Kreamer, who was born, in 1804, in Bethel township, Berks county, Penn., a daughter of Jacob Kreamer, who. came to Brush Valley in 1814, and where Mrs. Harper was reared from the age of ten years. Her youth was passed amid pioneer times and scenes, and she was well fitted to endure the hardships and trials destined for her later life. At the time of their marriage, her husband had little or no means, and his parents were not in a position to aid him. However, nothing daunted, Mr. Harper bought a farm, at Spring Bank, in Brush Valley, going heavily in debt for the same; but he prospered, and with the help of as noble a wife as ever lived, the debt was soon decreased. He died May 20, 1843, at the comparatively early age of forty-one years, leaving a widow with a family of children, our subject being but an infant. The husband and father was buried in the cemetery at Rebersburg. The following is a brief record of the children: Sarah married George Weaver, and lives in Rebersburg; John, a farmer, died in Potter township; Mary A. married Jonathan Gramley, and died in Brush Valley; Jonathan, by occupation a merchant, died in Bellefonte; Isabella is the widow of Philip Royer, of Nittany Valley; William is retired, and makes his home in Bellefonte (he served three years, during the Civil war, in Company A, 148th P. V. I.); Rebecca married Absalom Harter, and died in Millheim, Centre county; Jared, a merchant, lives in Bellefonte; Simon, our subject, comes next; and George, the youngest in the family, died in infancy. Of these, Simon bears a striking resemblance to his father, who was a man of slight build. He was a Democrat, but took no especial interest in politics, simply recording his vote quietly and unostentatiously. In religious faith he was a member of the Reformed Church, which his wife also attended, although not a member thereof, she being a Lutheran, but later also joined the Reformed Church. Dying a comparatively young man, George Harper had not opportunity to pay off all the indebtedness on the farm, and his dying request to his wife was that the homestead should not be sold, as he felt certain that by her careful and frugal management the debt thereon would before long be cancelled. It was a heavy undertaking for her, the widowed mother of a large family, none of whom yet out of their "teens;" but her husband's dying words inspired her with fresh hope and courage, and with a will she went bravely to work. Early and late she "kept her shoulder to the wheel," doing a man's labor in the fields, and in the evening returning to the home never so wearied but that she would complete the domestic duties of the day. In course of time her self-denying efforts were crowned with success, and this noble woman found herself and children under a roof free at last of all encumbrance. The homestead property remained in the family until 1856, in which year they moved to Rebersburg, and there Mrs. Harper resided until 1866, when she removed to Bellefonte with her son Simon, to whom her attachment was very great. Our subject paid for her support until, in 1866, he got a home of his own, from which time she passed her declining years with him, dying September 27, 1892. She was laid by the side of her husband in Rebersburg cemetery, an elegant monument, erected by our subject, marking their last resting place. Mrs. Harper was a true Christian woman, a constant reader of the Bible, in both English and German, while during the later years of her life a great part of her time was spent in prayer. Simon Harper, the subject proper of these lines, received his education in part at the schools of the Harter district, in Miles township, in part at those of Rebersburg, whither the family had removed when he was about fourteen years old, and as a farmer's boy his boyhood days were passed. At the age of seventeen we find him, for the first time in the arena of business life, in the capacity of clerk for Thomas Wolf, at Wolfs store, Brush Valley, his first salary being $75.00 per annum, with four weeks vacation during the harvest season, although the usual amount paid a new clerk was $50.00, so valuable already were his services, and so well appreciated. Later he clerked for W. J. Hosterman, in Rebersburg, from there going to Bellefonte, where he was in the employ of John Awle, when, the Civil war being at its height, he enlisted in August, 1862, in Company A, 148th P. V. I. In this regiment he served faithfully until compelled by sickness to retire into the Veteran Reserve Corps, much against his inclination, for he persisted in remaining with his company longer than his health warranted. At the close of the war he was a member of Company E, 3rd Veteran Reserve Corps. After the war was over he was sent to Augusta, Maine, to muster out Maine troops, after which he was mustered out at that city, and he then returned to Rebersburg. On May 18, 1866, Mr. Harper and his widowed mother removed to Bellefonte, where, along with his two brothers, Jonathan and William, he commenced the general mercantile business, with which he was identified some fourteen years. During that long period of activity, his natural industrious disposition and consequent hard work impaired his health so much that he had to retire from the firm. In March, 1880, he took up his residence in the village of Centre Hall, where he recuperated, buying a nice home, to the improvement of which he spent no little time and money. At this time there were but two stores in Centre Hall, and after four years Mr. Harper decided to open a third, trusting to his previous experience and natural business qualifications for success of his venture. It required enterprise and energy, both of which characteristics he amply possessed, and possesses, and in 1884, in partnership with H. W. Kreamer, he opened a general merchandise store, which ere long became the leading one of the kind in the vicinity. In April, 1896, our subject disposed of his interest therein, and retired from active business life. He still owns a one-half interest in the store building; a one-fourth interest in the bank building and bank at Centre Hall; a substantial residence in the same village, and 350 acres of land in Potter township. As already stated, he is president of the Penn Valley Banking Co., at Centre Hall, and is a leader in enterprises tending to the advancement of his section of the county. On December 28, 1879, at Bellefonte, Simon Harper was married to Miss Maggie E. Klinger, who was born at Buffalo Run, Penn., May 29, 1854, youngest in the family of ten children — five sons and five daughters — born to Jesse and Mary (Kocker) Klinger, who came from Dauphin county to Centre county some years ago. Mr. Klinger was a blacksmith by trade, in politics a stanch Republican, and for several years was justice of the peace at Bellefonte, where he died October 1, 1889, his wife passing away March 18, 1893, and they sleep their last sleep in the cemetery at Bellefonte. They were members of the Reformed Church. Mr. and Mrs. Harper have one child, Harry W. , born October 17, 1882, living at home. In politics Mr. Harper is a lifelong Democrat, always interested in the success of the party, but never an office-seeker. For one term he served as chief burgess of Centre Hall, and has been elected to other offices, which, however, he declined to accept. Socially, he is a member of the F. & A. M. Lodge at Centre Hall, and of the I. O. O. F. Lodge No. 153, at Bellefonte. In matters of religion he and his wife are members of the Reformed Church, and he was one of the committee who had charge of the church building, a handsome one, at Centre Hall, and it was at his suggestion that brown stone was used in its construction. He is an elder in the Church, and is one of the most liberal contributors and leading members, and has served as superintendent of the Sunday-school. Taken all in all, Mr. Harper is a typical representative self-made man, One who by his own perseverance, energy and sound judgment, has risen, rung by rung, to the summit of the ladder of success. On business and financial matters he is an acknowledged authority, and his opinion and counsel, which are often sought, are sure to be respected. His acquaintance in Penn's Valley is thorough, and he is held in the highest esteem. | Kreamer, Elizabeth (I2466)

| 411 | Emanuel was a brother of Mary Polly Harter COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. 503 EMANUEL HARTER, a prominent and well-to-do agriculturist of Miles township. Centre county, is deserving of mention in this volume not only for his own achievements, but because of his being a member of a well-known pioneer family. Andrew Harter, his grandfather, was reared on the banks of the Tulpehocken river, and shortly after marriage with Miss Sally Rupp settled (about 1790) in Haines township, Centre county, near Aaronsburg, upon a farm of 100 acres which he had previously purchased. The journey was made in a covered wagon, and a shoemaker accompanied the party to its destination. Andrew Harter was a carpenter by trade, but most of his time was given to clearing and cultivating his land, which he took in a primitive state. He built a cabin of hewed trees in one day, occupying it the next, and in this humble abode blankets two years served as the only doors they had. Although he never became wealthy, he acquired a competence, and after twelve years the original cabin was replaced by a more commodious structure. In religion he was a Lutheran, and he helped to found the Aaronsburg Church. One noticeable trait was his frankness of speech, even the minister being subject to this outspoken critic on occasion. Honest and upright, his “word was as good as his bond" in a business deal. His political convictions as a Democrat were maintained with characteristic firmness. During his later years he did no work at his trade except in improving his own property, but throughout his life he was often called upon to doctor horses, as he seemed to have a talent for understanding and treating their ailments. At the time of his death, which occurred during the Civil war, he was in his eighty-eighth year, yet every one of his teeth was in place and perfectly sound. His wife had died many years before, and the remains of both were interred at Aaronsburg. They had nine children, of whom six lived to adult age; John died in Gregg township, Centre county; Jacob, in Nittany Valley; Andrew, in Penn township, Centre county; George is mentioned more fully below; William died in Haines township, Centre county; and Lydia (Mrs. Henry Swartz) died near Pleasant Gap, Centre county. George Harter, the father of our subject, was born in Haines township, Centre county, in 1805, and was reared to farm work. There were no free schools then, his early instruction being secured entirely in the German schools of the day. He was an excellent penman, and in later years became a prominent citizen of the locality, noted for his successful management of his farms, his estate being at his death estimated at $17,000. He was five feet, eight inches in height, and weighed 155 pounds, was strong and robust, and an industrious worker. Although he was never afraid to give voice to his opinion, he was not quarrelsome, and never sued or was sued in court. He was a Lutheran in early life, later becoming an active member of the U. B. Church, and he always took great interest in all that pertained to local improvement. In politics he was a Democrat. His first wife, Mary (Wolfe) (our subject's mother), was born in Haines township, in 1808, a daughter of George Valentine and Sally (Wise) Wolfe. The young couple settled upon a rented farm in Haines township, Andrew Harter giving to this son, as to all the others, two horses, a wagon, a cow and two pigs. Nearly all of the boys prospered after being thus started in life, and George Harter was able, in 1841, to buy from Jefferson Royer a farm of 210 acres near Rockville, Centre county. Later he sold this and purchased the old Haines farm, in Penn township, Centre county, where he lived until old age caused him to retire from active work. His last days were spent at Millheim, and there he died at the age of seventy-eight. His first wife passed away in Penn township, aged fifty-three years, and his remains rest beside hers at Millheim. His second wife, Mrs. Sally Droxel, a widow, survived him, and after his death returned to her early home at Annville, Lebanon Co., Penn., where she died. There were no children by the second union, but by the first there were twelve, namely: Polly, widow of George Royer, of Rebersburg; Lydia, who died in childhood; Emanuel, our subject; Absalom, a farmer of Haines township. Centre county; Susan (Mrs. Michael Fiedler), of Millheim; Sarah, who married Rev. Lewis Fleisher, a minister of the U. B. Church, and died in Lebanon county, Penn.; Daniel, a farmer of Brush Valley; Catherine, widow of William Neese, of Brush Valley; Reuben, of Penn township. Centre county ; James, who died in childhood; Phoebe (Mrs. A. R. Alexander), of Penn township, Centre county; and George W. , of Millheim. Emanuel Harter was born on the old farm in Haines township. Centre county, July 31, 1831, and while he was a boy his parents removed to Brush Valley. As he was the eldest son and his help was needed at home, his school attendance was irregular, and he could not even take full advantage of such opportunities as the locality afforded. His father was engaged for many years in hauling merchandise to and from Lewistown, Lewisburg, Lock Haven, Flemington and other points, and often hauled coal from Snow Shoe for the use of blacksmiths. Emanuel proved himself so capable and trustworthy that at an early age he was placed in charge of a team, helping even to haul clover seed to Little York, a trip requiring fifteen days, and in all his work he never had a horse die or a wagon break down, or met with any serious accident of any kind. After the age of eighteen he did not go to school at all, but remained at home until he was about twenty-five years old, his labor being given to his father. He was a dutiful son, and there was never an impatient word passed between him and his parents. On January 19, 1856, he was married in Millheim to Miss Lavina Bierly, of Brush Valley, a native of Rebersburg, and a daughter of John aud Priscilla (Wolfe) Bierly. Mr. Harter rented the old Jacob Brungart farm in Brush Valley, and established himself there temporarily, his outfit being entirely second-hand and pur- chased mostly "on time." He also lived for a time upon rented farms in Penn township. Centre county, and in the Nittany Valley, Clinton county, but in 1868 he purchased 218 acres of land near Rebersburg, and has ever since resided there. He sold 102 acres immediately after its purchase to Samuel Loose, and for the portion retained, which was worth $9,000, he went in debt, having only about $7,000, which he had saved, to apply upon it. About 1875 he pur- chased an additional thirty acres from William Foster for $3,000, and this is now a part of his farm. At various times Mr. Harter has owned extensive tracts of mountain land, and still has some of it, although he has sold portions as oc- casion offered. His farm is well-improved, and a number of substantial buildings have been built by Mr. Harter, in addition to those upon the homestead. His home is well-furnished, the equipment including a fine piano, one of the few in Brush Valley. While both Mr. and Mrs. Har- ter have received property from their parents, their losses have been greater than the amount thus obtained, and their present prosperity is due to their own effort. They had three children: James C. died at the age of live years;Susan Ella married C. C. Loose, of Rebersburg; and Sally, an accomplished young lady, is at home. Mr. Harter's sympathies are with the Democratic party in the main, but when the best men are on the other ticket he is sufficiently patriotic and independent to vote for them. He has been supervisor and overseer of the poor, and his public work has been marked by the same quiet devotion to duty which has won his success in his private business. For nineteen years he was manager of the Bald Eagle, Nittany, Penn, and Brush Valleys Turn Pike, this long term of successful service reflecting great credit upon him. He is not connected with any Church, but has lent more substantial assistance to various re- ligious movements than many who are members. | Harter, Mary Polly (I652)

| 423 | Event: Migration 1835 Centre Hall, Potter Twp, Centre Co, PA Event: Migration 1839 Penn Twp, Centre Co, PA "...In 1848 Mr. Stover was married in Haines Township, by Rev. Mr. Reese, a Lutheran minister, to Miss Malinda A. Kreider, who was born September 13, 1829, in Lebanon, Penn., where her grandfather, Jacob Kreider, was a well-known citizen in his day. He and his wife, Catherine (Smith), reared a family of five children - two sons and three daughters - Philip, Mrs. Stover's father, being the eldest. The other son, Jacob, died in 1811. 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, 1836, 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, Centre County; Rosanna, who died in infancy; John P., who died in Miles Township, Centre County, at the age of forty-four; George B. and Reuben H., who died in infancy; Jacob B., a physician at Bucyrus, Ohio, and Mary C., now Mrs. Daniel Weaver, of Miles township, Centre County." Page 217 COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHCAL RECORD. ...Philip Kreider, a prominent farmer and merchant...was born in Lebanon County, Penn., in 1803, and died in January, 1842. In December, 1828, he married Leah Bowman, who was born in Cornwall Township, Lebanon County, January 3, 1803, and died April 4, 1856. Eight children were born to them: Melinda Ann, widow of George W. Stover, of Penn Township; William S., who died in 1855, aged twenty-three; Rozanna, who died in infancy; John Philip, who died leaving a family in Miles township; George, deceased in infancy; Reuben H., who died young; J. B. Kreider, M. D., practicing medicine in Bucyrus, Ohio; and Mary C. (Mrs. Weaver). The father was fairly well-educated for his day and opportunities, and was reared as a farm boy by an uncle, John Boumberger, he being a mere lad when his father died. As he grew to maturity he proved a good business man, and for several years he carried on a store, also kept a hotel in Lebanon. In addition to this he learned the carpenter's trade, and worked at same for a time. In 1835 he located at Centre Hall, and four years later moved to Penn Township, where he died. In religious faith he was a member of the Reformed Church, and in politics he was a Democrat. | Kreider, Philip (I1838)

| 428 | FELIX BURKHOLDER (deceased) was for many years one of the prominent and representative citizens of Potter township. Centre county, where his memory is held in reverence and honor. A native of the Keystone State, he was born January 4, 1806, in Annville township, Lebanon county, and was a son of Felix Burkholder, Sr. , who never lived in Centre county, but often visited his son after his removal to the county. In the family were four sons and three daughters, of whom, our subject is the fourth in order of birth. His father being in comfortable circumstances he was provided with fair educational advantages, but generally attended schools where only German was taught. On February 7, 1833, in the county of his nativity, Mr. Burkholder was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Meyer, who was born in Annville township, Lebanon county, December 26, 1807, and was the fourth daughter of Michael and Elizabeth Meyer. They began their domestic life in Dauphin county, this State, where Mr. Burkholder engaged in milling for a number of years, and where were born to them the following children: Mary, born January 9, 1835, died on the 29th of the following February. John, born April 13, 1836, was a miller by trade, and died September 23, 1893, in Miami county, Ohio, where his family are still living. The next child died unnamed. Catharine, born September 6, 1838, is a resident of Centre Hill, Centre county. Felix M., born September 24, 1839, died May 24, 1893. Elizabeth is the youngest. In the spring of 1840 the family migrated to Centre county, traveling by boat through the canals to Lewistown, and thence by wagon to their destination. Mr. Burkholder rented what is known as the Red Mill in Potter township, which he successfully conducted until the spring of 1860, when he purchased the William Milligan farm near Centre Hill, and turned his attention to agricultural pursuits for the first time, having engaged in milling for over thirty years with good success. Upon that farm he spent his remaining days, dying on the 7th of May, 1883, and now lies buried in the cemetery of Tusseyville. His wife, who survived him for some time, passed away July 26, 1893, and was laid to rest by his side. After coming to Centre county, the family circle was increased by the birth of four children, the oldest of whom, a son, died in infancy, unnamed; Michael M., born March 5, 1843, is a farmer of Potter township; Elizabeth, born September 17, 1844, married Daniel Seltzer, by whom she had one child — Elmer B. , who was born September 12, 1868, and died October 17, 1876 (she and her sister now make their home together in Centre Hill, where they have many warm friends); Mary, the youngest in the family, was born August 12, 1849, and died September 10, 1887. Mr. Burkholder was an energetic, hard-working man, who met with success in his business ventures by honest and fair dealing, and whose word was ever considered as good as his bond. His wife was a consistent member of the Reformed Church, and although not connected with any religious denomination he was a great Bible student, and gave liberally to the support of Churches. In politics he was an ardent supporter of the Republican party. | Burkholder, Felix (I1440)

FREDERICK BRUNGART, Sr., the oldest living male representative of one of the most honored and highly-respected families of Nittany Valley, was born December 11, 1817, in Miles township. Brush Valley, Centre Co., Penn., a son of Jacob and Margaret (Gephart) Brungart. The family is a numerous one in both Brush and Nittany Valleys, and was founded here in 1798 by Martin Brungart, who came from the vicinity of Hanover, York Co., Penn., and. pur- chased the interest of a Mr. Kreamer in a tract of land in the east end of Brush Valley, where he located permanently. He and his wife died there, and were buried in the old cemetery at Re- bersburg. In the family of this worthy couple was Jacob Brungart, our subject's father, who was born January 15, 1786, and died September 5, 1862. When but a boy he went with his parents to Brush Valley, where he was reared and married to a Miss Weaver, by whom he had three chil- dren: Polly, Susan and John. For his Second wife he chose Margaret Gephart, and to them were born the following children: Martin; George ; Jacob; Frederick; Samuel; Catharine, wife of Adam Bear; Margaret, wife of Jacob Smeltzer; Regina, wife of John Shaffer; and Sarah, wife of William Johnson. The daughters by the first wife — Mary (or Polly) married John Heckman; and Susan married John Weaver. The father was one of the most successful, thrifty and highly esteemed farmers of Brush Valley, owning sev- eral fine farms, three of which were in Nittany Valley, Clinton county, and these he gave to his sons, John, George and Frederick, who in that order came to this locality. The subject of this sketch conned his lessons in the Brungart school in the east end of Brush Valley, which was conducted on the subscription plan, and James McGhee was one of his first teachers. He early became familiar with all the duties which fall to the lot of the agriculturist, and often in boyhood took loads of grain to market for his father, going as far as Lewisburg. When a young man he used to come to Nittany Valley to assist his brothers who had previously located here, and in the spring of 1842 he took up his residence upon his present farm in Lamar township, Clinton county, living in the same house which has since been greatly remodeled. and enlarged. The farm at that time was about half cleared, and to its further development and cultivation he at once devoted his attention, and now has one of the most desirable places in the locality. On February 27, 1842, in Sugar Valley, Mr. Brungart was married to Miss Elizabeth Reda- bach, who was born January 30, 181 8, in Brush Valley, the daughter of Peter and Elizabeth (Miller) Redabach. She died July 25, 1883, and was laid to rest in Cedar Hill cemetery. She left three children, as follows: (1) William L., born December 5, 1842, was educated in the common schools, and was a schoolmate of Gov. Daniel H. Hastings. He has always engaged in agricultural pursuits, and has spent his entire life on the home farm. He is a Democrat in poli- tics, is a wide-awake and progressive citizen, and an excellent farmer. On September 12, 1872, he Vvas married, in Lewisburg, Penn., to Miss Mary J. Bierly, who was born in April, 1841, a daughter of Melchoir and Catharine (Gephart) Bierly. There were only two children in her father's family who reached years of maturity, the other being Charles Bierly, a resident of Rebersburg. William L. Brungart and wife have one son — Charles A., born October 14, 1874, and still at home. (2) Jacob E., the sec- ond son of our subject, was born August 26, 1846, and is now engaged in clerking in Hughes- ville, Lycoming Co., Penn. (3) Mary J., born December 12, 1850, is the wife of Rev. A. J. Gramley, an Evangelical minister now living in Ohio. At each Presidential election since attaining his majority, our subject has never failed to cast his ballot for the Democratic candidate, and he has always taken an active and commendable in- terest in public affairs. He is a faithful member of the United Evangelical Church, and has for years served as trustee of the same. Although in his youth he had several very severe spells of sickness, he is still well-preserved, is quiet and unassuming, and has a host of friends and a large circle of acquaintances throughout his adopted county, who appreciate his sterling worth and many excellencies of character. | Brungart, Jacob (I1024)

CALAMI [sic], father of Mrs. G. A. ACHENBACH, passed away at his home in Steamboat Springs Sunday, April 25. He was preparing to take a car ride with Mr. and Mrs. ACHENBACH and was taken ill suddenly while in the backyard. He was assisted to the house and died within a few minutes from a heart attack. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at the residence of A. W. Heyer, who was funeral director. Rev. B. H. Christner was in charge of the service. He selected part of the 119th Psalm as the scripture reading and spoke from Exodus, 4th Chapter, because of the appropriateness to Mr. CALAMI [sic], who was a great Bible student. The pallbearers were Clay MONSON, R. L. WILSON, Claude LUEKENS, H. P. HEID, John FRYE and Clay SHAW. Mrs. Henry Zehner played the piano during the ceremony and accompanied the quartet composed of Mrs. Sam Stevens, Mrs. Lawrence Carr, Roy Hartzler and Clay Shaw. They sang "More Love to Thee," and "Lead Kindly Light." Interment was in the Steamboat Springs cemetery. Mr. CALAMI [sic] is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. G. A. ACHENBACH of Steamboat Springs, and three sons, Walter of Omaha, Nebraska, Carl of Comanche, Oklahoma, and Will of Devine, Texas; four sisters, Emma MICHAELS, Lena McCLOUD, Laura KEELING and Ida THORTON, and six brothers, Charles, John, Frank, Jess, Lewis and Bob. All of the sisters and brothers reside in Texas. There are 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Four brothers had preceded him in death. E. A. CALAMI [sic] was born at Nocomas, Illinois, January 28, 1861. In this community he grew to manhood and moved with his father's family to Texas in 1882. On March 2, 1883, he was united in marriage with Sally ANDERSON, at Fairfield, Texas. They resided in Texas until 1900, when they moved to Oklahoma. Five years ago Mr. and Mrs. CALAMI [sic] moved to Colorado. He had followed the occupation of farming and ranching during his life time. He was a great lover of the Bible. This interest in the Bible undoubtedly came to him thru the influence of his training as a youth. His father, a preacher in the Church of Christ, instituted the family altar. Two of the sons also became ministers, and implanted in the hearts of their children a love of the Bible. Two of Mr. CALAMI's [sic] brothers, Walter of Omaha and Carl of Oklahoma, came to Steamboat Springs to attend the funeral services. They left for their homes Thursday. The Eveready cafe, which is operated by Mr. and Mrs. ACHENBACH, was closed from Monday morning until Thursday morning.

| 450 | 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. | Achenbach, John (I1820)
