ANDERSON, INDIANA; THE HERALD BULLETIN
F. Ted Montgomery
Oct. 22, 1940 - April 27, 2009
ANDERSON ? F. Ted Montgomery, 68, Anderson, passed away Monday, April 27, 2009, at his home in Anderson following an extended Illness. Ted has fought a courageous battle with cancer for many years.
He was born Oct. 22, 1940, in Indianapolis, to John and Bernice (Givens) Montgomery but he grew up in Lapel.
He graduated from Lapel High School in 1958. In 1964, he joined the Navy and was stationed in San Diego, Calif.
Ted retired in 1992 from Allison Gas Turbine in Indianapolis as a supervisor in Production Control after 31 years of employment. After retirement, he worked at United Medical, Entertech and BSH in Indianapolis until cancer forced him to retire again in 2004.
He was a member of Crossroads United Methodist Church in Anderson where he had an extended family and was loved and prayed for by many; Lapel American Legion Post 212 where he was a past commander; Lapel Masonic Lodge No. 625; Scottish Rite Valley of Indianapolis; and the Murat Temple Shrine. Ted was a loyal Lapel Bulldogs basketball fan and loved watching the Lady Bulldogs play. The past several years, he also enjoyed spending his summers at Twin Forks Campgrounds in Brookville where he enjoyed visiting with friends. His favorite hobby was playing golf but due to the cancer, he was only able to play a few times in the past few years. Each golf game was special to him as it was played with good friends, most of whom he grew up with in Lapel. He was a true patriot and loved his country and spent hours reading about historians and past presidents, especially Abraham Lincoln.
He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Janice K. (Huntzinger) Montgomery; his mother, Bernice (Givens) Montgomery of Lapel; one son, Michael (Michelle) Moorman of Franklin, N.C.; three grandchildren, Isaac, Avery, and Corinne Moorman; a cousin, Iris Parker of Pendleton; and several other cousins that he loved very much. Ted had lots of friends who remained close to him after high school graduation, especially special friends, Jim and Nora Boyll. He will also be truly missed by his "lap buddy" and best friend, Bailey, his cocker spaniel.
He was preceded in death by his father, John Montgomery; his uncle, John Givens; his aunt, Eloise Dunham; and a cousin, Junior Montgomery.
Services will be held at noon Thursday at Scott E. Hersberger Funeral Home, 1010 N. Main St., Lapel, with the Rev. John Hackney officiating. Burial will follow in Brookside Cemetery, Lapel, where military graveside rites will be conducted by the Lapel American Legion Post 212.
Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home.
Memorial contributions may be made to Lapel High School Athletic Department, 1850 S. 900W, Lapel, IN 46051 or American Cancer Society.
After Ted was first diagnosed with cancer in 1998, his favorite promise became, "When faced with a mountain I WILL NOT QUIT! I will keep on striving until I climb over, find a pass through, tunnel underneath ? or simply stay and turn the mountain into a gold mine, with God's help!" He will be truly missed by his family and friends who loved him but he is finally at peace on the gold mine with God.

Annie Delaney was an unmarried schoolteacher who became pregnant by an unknown person. Her daughter,Ann Delaney Bowers was born Feb.8,1843 and died Mar.2,1917. She was married to David Spong,a German who was born May 12,1836 and died July 28,1906. Their daughter,Lucy Hill Spong was born Dec.10,1872 and died Jan.10,1957. Lucy married Charles Richard Colbert,who was born Dec.1,1872 and died June 29,1932. Lucy and Charles had four children;Ila,Nelle,Everett and David. The Spong-Colbert family originated in the area of Hagerstown,Md. They were lock tenders on the canal from Washington,D.C. to Hagerstown. I believe the lock was located around Sharpsburg,Md. Lucy and Charles Colbert migrated to Garrett,Pa. where he worked in the coal mines. They later moved to Turtle Creek,Pa. Ila was married to Robert M. Craig and later to Harry Morton. Nelle was married to Herbert Thomas,a cousin of Robert M.Craig. Herbert died in 1980. Everett[Red]was married to Isabelle,who was born Feb.13,1908 and died Nov.29,1995. David was married to Amanda,who was born around 1910 and died around 1932 of tuberculosis. He later married Maizie,who was born May8,1911,and died Mar.4,1992. Ila Frances [or Fran] was a liberated woman long before it was fashionable. She smoked cigarettes in public and went to social functions without the benefit of a male escort. She went to speakeasy`s and consumed alcohol in public. Fran and Nelle went to dances together for their own entertainment. Later in life, Fran quit smoking,cold turkey, and as far as I know,never smoked again. Fran slipped and fell while patronizing a local fast food place,like Taco Bell. She broke her hip and was incapacitated for many months,but I still remember seeing her mop the floor while she was using a walker. She continued to live alone after Harry died in 1972,and she saved money even though her only income was social security and Cal. medicaid. When Mom was about 90,my brother Charles moved into her apartment and lived with her until she died,shortly after her 92nd birthday. Genie,Jackie,and I flew to CA to see her just a week before she died. I don`t claim any psychic powers,but I did feel that she wanted to see me,and that was the main reason for our trip. To me,Mom was a pioneer in the Womens Liberation Movement,and she was a very independent person who would try anything to improve her life,and,I think she improved my life in the process. | COLBERT, Ila Frances (I3146)

SPANG, Joseph - at Dorcester. He was a veteran of 3 Prussian Wars.

Saturday, November 5, 2011Joseph Spang: Boston's Master at Dropping Names
Although Joseph Spang was a relatively older immigrant to the United States, he wasted no time in understanding that a good American name could be a strong asset in selling whiskey. In quick succession he appropriated the Boston Tea Party, Ulysses S. Grant, Mark Twain, and eventually Paul Revere to give legitimacy to his liquor business. He even ventured abroad to appropriate the name of Queen Wilhelmina of Netherlands for his booze.
Spang was born in Trier, Germany, in 1842, the son of Joseph and Maria (Binsen) Spang. While still in his teens, he joined the Prussian army and seemingly reveled in military life. He is shown here in uniform with his rifle. During his period of service Prussia was in almost constant conflicts and Joseph was said to have been part of the Kaiser?s special forces. He received a number of decorations for his valor in battle.
Military service, however, did not deter him at age 25 from marrying Katherine Kolf and, although away from home for extended periods, from fathering four sons. In 1880 after serving 25 years in the Prussian army Spang was discharged. Almost immediately he scooped up Katherine and his boys and emigrated to the United States, settling in Boston.
Spang?s initial few years in America have left little record. He clearly had a talent for commerce and worked hard to succeed. There is evidence he spent time employed in a beer bottling operation, as well as in food and hotel enterprises. From indications of Spang family wealth it can be assumed that he prospered over his first dozen years in America, well enough to start his own business. In 1892 Joseph Spang & Co. first showed up in Boston business directories, operating at 1981-1895 Washington Street.
Spang ran a liquor dealership, one in which he featured his own brands and began dropping names. A featured brand was ?Tea Party,? a favorite subject in Boston. The label shows a ship from which Colonials were throwing bales into the ocean. More questionable was his naming of a whiskey ?Grant ?63,? referencing Ulysses S. Grant in the year Grant took over as commander of the Federal armies during the Civil War.
Although a number of whiskey brands had been named for Civil War generals on both sides, no one previously had touched Grant. His reputation for alcoholism apparently had led whiskey men away from claiming him on their labels. Years later, Spang, perhaps because he was not fully aware of Grant?s reputation, forged ahead with the brand as his flagship. Moreover, he featured a logo of the General (later President) on horseback. Grant, known to be an excellent horseman, was pictured by Spang on the bottle label and giveaways such as a tip tray and a shot glass.
The firm also handed out blotters that featured a smiling black bellhop delivering a bottle of Grant ?63 along with two glasses and the message: ?The Perfect Whiskey.? This item additionally dropped the name of Mark Twain, America?s most famous author of the time, and included an observation by Twain on Prohibition. Earlier Spang had circulated a brochure containing Twain?s complete satirical anti-Temperance screed.
He also named a whiskey for Revolutionary War hero Paul Revere. When the young Dutch princess, Wilhelmina, ascended to the throne of the Netherlands and caught the world?s imagination, Spang capitalized on her celebrity by naming a whiskey after her. His firm also featured other brands, including: "589,? "Bay State,? "Deep Water Spring,? "Dr. Seymour's Malt,? "Feldt.? "Jaunting Car,? "Old Minden,? "Old Schedule,? "Ould Andy Scotch," P. Q.,? "Spang's P. Q.,? and "Spang's Pure Food.? Although his firm featured giveaway shot glasses for some labels, it failed to register any of these brands with the Federal Government for trademark protection.
The photo here shows Spang wealthy, well fed and relaxed in the midst of his family during the mid-1890s. Sitting is the man himself, wife Katherine, and standing, from left, sons Joseph P., Frank, John and Clem. Note that all the males are wearing gold watch chains, symbolic of their financial well-being. In 1904 at the age of 62, Joseph Spang died and is buried in Boston's New Calvary Cemetery.
With his father's death, Joseph P. Spang, standing at left in the photo above, became head of the family and the manager of the liquor business. He soon ran into trouble. In 1907 the firm was charged by the Massachusetts Board of Health with food adulteration, accused of adding cane sugar to maple syrup. The charges were not prosecuted. In 1909 the same Board charged it with adulterating its whiskey by adding water. This time Joseph P. was found guilty and paid a fine. Once again in 1913, the Massachusetts Agricultural Extension Station accused the firm among a group of brewers for adulterating beer.
With State officials constantly looking over his shoulder, Joseph P. may not have been too concerned when National Prohibition shut down his alcoholic trade. Perhaps sensing the tide, he already had turned to real estate development. He built Fieldston-on-the-Atlantic, a beach resort near Boston. It was a holiday venue with restaurants, rides, and a ballroom at which top U.S. bands performed.
Joseph P.'s son, Joseph P. Spang Jr. would go on to become one of America?s most recognized business leaders of the 1950s and 60s, credited with making Gillette Safety Razor a major company through its sports sponsorship. After his successful career identifying his whiskey with famous events and individuals, Grandfather Joseph Spang would have appreciated his grandson becoming a name to drop.

Auszug aus der Chronologie Mettingens (1633-1702)
1633 kam Mettingen nach Abzug der Spanier wieder unter oranische Herrschaf
t.
1672 brachten die Kriegszüge des münsterschen Fürstbischofs von Galen geg
en die Niederlande neue Schrecken, Wirren und Besatzung.
1702 wurde die Obergrafschaft Lingen auf Anordnung König Friedrich I von P
reußen in Besitz genommen. Auch Mettingen erhielt eine preußische Verwaltu
ng.
"Hanseaten des Kleinhandels" wurden die Mettinger lange Zeit betitelt. A
ls Arbeiter, Torfstecher, Grasmäher, Kesselschmiede und besonders als Haus
ierer suchten Hunderte Mettinger in der Fremde ihr Auskommen. Letztere mac
hten als Tödden, oder wie sie in Mettingen genannt werden, als Tüötten v
on sich reden. Diese ambulanten Leinenverkäufer aus Mettingen, Recke und H
opsten zogen Richtung Holland (die sogenannten "Holländer" oder "Niederlän
der") bzw. Richtung Norden und Osten (die "Oberreicher"). Diese Reisen mac
hten die Männer natürlich nicht freiwillig. Die Heimat gab einfach nicht g
enug her die Familien zu ernähren. Bei Heimarbeitern im Raum Bielefeld wur
de die Handelsware von Großhändlern besogt, die den geschäftlichen Erfo
lg der Tüötten in der Ferne sicherte. Die Männer waren somit den Großte
il des Jahres von Ihren Familien getrennt. Im Februar machten sie sich m
it vollem Rucksack auf den Weg und kehrten im Juli zur Erntezeit wieder zu
rück. Im Herbst gingen Sie dann ein zweites Mal auf die Reise. Den Wint
er verbrachten Sie dann bei ihren Familien.
Man kann auch die Wege der Tüötten selbern achvollziehen: Von Osnabrück na
ch Oldenzaal (NL) führt ein insgesamt 111 km langer Weg, über Westerkappe
ln nach Mettingen, weiter über den Mittellandkanal nach Hopsten und von do
rt über Dreierwalde nach Rheine. Von Bad Bentheim aus geht es dann in d
ie Niederlande nach Oldenzaal.
Der Weg ist auf seiner gesamten Länge mit einem weißen "T " auf schwarz
em Grund gekennzeichnet. Auf diese Weise verloren sie nie den Kontakt zu i
hrer Heimat. Auch nachdem Handelshäuser und Niederlassungen in den Absatzg
ebieten gegründet wurden, riss die enge Verbindung der Tüötten mit Metting
en nie ab.
Im 18. Jahrundert waren fast die Hälfte der Mettinger Männer als Tüötten a
uf der Wanderschaft. Zu Beginn desTüöttenwesens gehörten sie den unteren s
ozialen Schichten an. Am Ende standen die großen namhaften europäischen Ha
ndelshäuser. | COVERS, Friedrich (I1021)

Auszug aus der Geschichte Osnabrücks (1698-1732)
1698 Nach dem Tode Ernst August I. wird Karl Josef Herzog von Lohtringe
n, später auch Kurfürst von Trier, durch das Osnabrücker Domkapitel zum ka
tholischen Bischof von Osnabrück gewählt. Er regiert bis 1715.
1714 Bischof Karl Josef läßt die Straße von Osnabrück über Oesede nach Ibu
rg ausbauen. Es ist die erste Kunststraße im Fürstbistum Osnabrück.
1715 Entsprechend der Immerwährenden Kapitulation wird der evangelische We
lfe Ernst August II. Bischof von Osnabrück. Bereits seit 1714 stellte d
as Haus Hannover, zuvor Braunschweig-Lüneburg genannt, den englischen Köni
g.
Bischof Ernst August II. regierte bis 1728 er war der Bruder von König Geo
rg I. von England.
1715-1728 Die Regierungszeit von Ernst August II. ist gekennzeichnet vom M
erkantilismus. Auf ihn gehen die Förderung der Heimindustrie insbesonde
re des Leinen- und Tuchgewerbes, der Aufbau von Manufakturen, Anlegung ein
er Wachsbleiche, Errichtung einer Saline auf dem Rothem Felde bei Erpen, u
nd die Erbauung einer Porzellanfabrik am Westerberg, sowie die Errichtu
ng einer bischöflichen Münze am Ledenhof zurück.
1720 Am 14.12 wird Justus Möser in Osnabrück geboren.
1727 König Georg I. stirbt im Schloß zu Osnabrück während einer Reise v
on England nach Hannover.
1728-1761 Das Domkapitel wählt den Fürsten Clemens August von Wittelsbac
h, Herzog von Bayern, Kurfürst von Köln zum Bischof von Osnabrück. Da er f
ast nur in seiner rheinischen Residenz Schloß Brühl in Bonn lebt wird Osna
brück durch den von ihm ernannten Statthalter Domprobst von Kersenbrock ve
rwaltet.
1732 Bischof Clemens August, der auch Hochmeister des Deutschen Ordens is
t, läßt die Neue Mühle am Pottgraben erneuern und die Kirche der Ordenskom
mende, an der Kommenderiestraße wieder herrichten. | COVERS, Heinrich Caspar (I731)

Auszug aus der Geschichte Osnabrücks (1736-1772)
1756-1763 Im Siebenjährigen Krieg sympathisieren Stadt und Bischof von Osn
abrück mit der gegnerischen Seite. Während Bischof Clemens August die öste
rreichische Seite unterstützte, hielt die Stadt mehr zur preußisch-hannove
ranischen Partei. Mehrmals wechselt die Herkunft der Besatzung in Osnabrü
ck zwischen preußisch-hannoverisch und französisch.
Die Befestigungsanlagen der Stadt, die während der Regierungszeit des, Hau
ses Hannover noch vorbildlich waren, hatte man so vernachlässigt, daß selb
st kleine plüdernde Streifkorps die Stadt besetzten. Zwangsrekrutierung
en und die Erpressung großer Geld- und Sachwerte waren die Folge. Die schl
echte finanzielle Lage der Stadt wurde dadurch weiter verschärft.
1761 -1764 Der Osnabrücker Bischofsstuhl bleibt für diese Zeit unbesetz
t, da nach dem Tode Clemens Augusts zwischen Domkapitel und König Georg I
II . Streitigkeiten über den Nachfolger im Amt entstanden. Während dies
er Zeit wurden die Regierungsgeschäfte des Fürstbistums vom König selb
st in London wahrgenommen.
1764-1802 Prinz Friedrich von York, Sohn des Königs von England, wird z
um Fürstbischof zu Osnabrück ernannt. Während der Unmündigkeit des Prinz
en wird die Führung der Regierungsgeschäfte zwei Vertretern der Osnabrück
er Ritterschaft (v.d. Bussche und v. Lenthe) übertragen. Justus Möser fu
ngiert als juristischer Berater. Fürstbischof Friedrich, Prince of Yorck i
st der letzte Fürstbischof von Osnabrück. Bei seiner Ernennung hat er d
as Alter von 6 Monaten. Für die finanzielle Lage des Fürstbistums war die
se Regelung jedoch ebenso vorteilhaft wie für die Verwaltung. Da der Fürst
bischof nicht in Osnabrück residierte und keine eigene Hofhaltung unterhie
lt, wurden dem König Georg III. im Durchschnitt 55.000 Taler gezahlt. So k
onnte die Stadt Schulden in Höhe von 600.000 Taler abtragen ohne zusätzlic
he Steuern erheben zu müssen. Für die Verwaltung des Fürstbistums war es v
on Vorteil, daß sie von Osnabrückern insbesondere Justus Möser vor Ort erf
olgte.
1765 Justus Möser beginnt seine Osnabrücker Geschichte. Laut Ludwig Hoffme
yer die erste deutsche Sozial- und Verfassungsgeschichte.
1823 erscheint noch ein dritter Band, der sich aus seinem Nachlaß ergeb
en hat.
1766 Die erste Osnabrücker Wochenzeitung wird auf Veranlassung Mösers hera
usgegeben. Er übernimmt die Leitung, und trägt volkstümliche Abhandlung
en über Angelegenheiten des praktischen in diesem seinem Osnabrückischen I
ntelligenzblatt. Seine Tochter Jenny v. Voigts sammelte diese Aufsätze u
nd gab sie ab 1774 unter dem Namen Patriotische Schriften heraus.
1771 Mit 5923 Einwohnern hat, Osnabrück seine niedrigste Einwohnerzahl se
it Beendigung des Siebenjährigen Krieges erreicht. | COVERS, Gerhard Heinrich (I724)

veraner, französischer und preußischer Truppen.
1801 Gesellenaufstand in der Gartlage. Ein zunächst harmloses Zusammentref
fen Osnabrücker Handwerksgesellen und Bürger wird durch revolutionäre Paro

rsche Regierung. Das Fürstbistum Osnabrück hört auf zu bestehen. Aller gei
stlicher Besitz wird aufgehoben. Bistum, Domkapitel, das Stift zu St. Joha

1806 Nach der preußischen Niederlage bei Jena, 26 .10.1806, kehren die fra
nzösischen Truppen nach Osnabrück zurück. Osnabrück, das Osnabrücker Lan
d, die Region um Münster, Tecklenburg, Lingen und die Grafschaft Mark werd
en zum Premier Gouvernement das Pay Conqius (Erstes Gouvernement der erobe
rten Lande) zusammengefasst und zu hohen Abgabenzahlungen verpflichtet.
1807 Das Gebiet des ehemaligen Fürstbistums Osnabrück wird dem Königreic
h, Westfalen unter König Jerome zugesprochen. Osnabrück wird die Hauptsta
dt des Weserdepartements. Eine Osnabrücker Abordnung unter Leitung des Bür
germeisters, nunmehr Maire, Heinrich David Stüve, reist nach Paris zur Hul
digung. Dort wird der Abordnung neben einer neuen Verfassung auch die Refo
rmen der Justiz, der Code Napoléon, überreicht. Dies hat weitreichende Fol
gen. Erstmalig werden im gesamten Königreich Westfalen die Maße und Gewich
te vereinheitlicht. Standesrechte, Leibeigenschaft und Zunftzwang werden a
ufgehoben und die jüdischen Mitbürger von denen in Osnabrück wenige lebt
en werden gleichberechtigte Bürger. Auf der anderen Seite wird das Königre
ich Westfalen nunmehr verpflichtet, eine große Anzahl an Rekruten und ho
he Steuerzahlungen bereitzustellen, welche insbesondere für die Region Osn
abrück schwierig aufzubringen waren, da die Kontinentalsperre hohe finanzi
elle Verluste verursachte.
1808 König Jerome wird bei seinem Besuch in Osnabrück von den Bürgern m
it Begeisterung empfangen.
1811 Osnabrück wird dem französischen Kaiserreich unterstellt. Dies füh
rt dazu, dass die in Osnabrück bestehende Tabakindustrie aufgelöst wir
d, da das Kernland Frankreich das Tabakmonopol besitzt.
1813 Eine große Anzahl von Verwundeten aus Rußland treffen in Osnabrück ei
n. Es wird ein Lazarett eingerichtet. Maire Stüve stirbt an Typhus, sein N

Bachman in Richterswil, Canton Zrich, Switzerland
Origins: [222] "Hans Jrgli for many years in Kurpfalz, was an Anabaptist, moved to America in Pensilvania, living by a great swamp, according to various letters to his father, had sons."
Bachman-Schnebelli Bible (1536 Froschauer)
Bachman Family Bible: [1] "In the meantime, the [1536 Froschauer Schnebelli-Bachmann Family] Bible found its way into the possession of Hans George Bachmann (1686-1753) when he married Anna Maria Schnebelli in 1715, probably at the
Ibersheimerhof. In the 'Palatine Mennonite census' lists we find one Hans Bachman at the Ibersheimerhof in September 1685. [226]
According to Maria's gravestone, she was born in 1698 and died in 1776, and appears to have been the daughter of Hans Jacob Schnebelli.
George and Maria Bachmann's oldest child, Henrich, was born in 1717, according to their family record which we find in the Bible. They may have immigrated to Pennsylvania in that year, along with Dielman and Elizabeth Schnebeli Kolb and many
other Palatine Mennonites who came at the same time. We do know that they came by 1727 and settled in the Saucon area. [101] George and Maria's second son, Hans Jacob Bachmann (possibly named after his material grandfather), was born in 1720.
During the 1720s, the [1536 Froschauer Schnebelli-Bachmann Family] Bible settled with the Bachmann family in the Saucon Mennonite community in what is now Coopersburg, Lehigh County, where George acquired a tract of 300 acres by 1728. [101]
From 1717 to 1744, the births of George and Maria Bachmann's eleven children are recorded in the Bible [97] as follows:
Our Son Henrich Bachmann, born 1717
Our Son Hans Jacob Bachmann, born June 15, 1720
Our Daughter Catarina Bachmann, born August 25, 1722
Our Son Hans Georg Bachmann, born November 30, 1724
Our Son Christel [Christian] Bachmann, born May 19, 1727
Our Daughter Mary Bachmann, born January 28, 1729
Our Daughter Elisabeth Bachmann, born July 3, 1732
Our Son Johannes Bachmann, born August 1, 1735
Our Son Samuel Bachmann, born January 14, 1739
Our Daughter Susanna Bachmann, born April 17, 1742
Our Son Abraham Bachmann, born November 12, 1744
And one more birth, which must be a grandchild of Hans George Jr.:
Esther Oberholtzer, born September 30, 1782, at 7 o'clock p.m., in the sign of the Ram.
George Bachmann, Sr. died in 1753, was buried in the Saucon Mennonite Cemetery, and the Bible was passed on to his son Hans George, Jr. (1724-1806)
The elder Bachmann's gravestone, the oldest in the Saucon cemetery, refers to him as the 'honorable' (ehrsame) George Bachmann, tells us his age, that he was married for 38 years, and that they had eleven children. His 1753 estate inventory
lists: 'two Bibles & sundry other books,' valued at four pounds. [227] The Bible was rebound sometime in the 18th century. His widow, Maria, lived another twenty -three years."
Immigration to Pennsylvania
1717 Immigration: [228] "On 15 August 1717, a ship under the command of Captain Richmond arrived in Philadelphia with 150 Palatines aboard. Among them were more Mennonites from Ibersheim, including Hans Georg Bachman, his wife and their
one-year-old son Heinrich. Also aboard were Hans and Martin Br, Jacob Bhm, Hans Brubaker, a Brachbill, a Langenacker, and a Schnebelli."
1717 Immigration: [175] "After considering different areas of Europe for settlement, the Mennonite leaders decided in February 1717 that Pennsylvania would be the new gathering place for the Mennonites. Some started leaving in March of that
year to journey to London. By May, some had received certificates which allowed them to receive help from the Dutch brethren when they arrived in Holland.
It was reported that on August 24, 1717, three ships carrying 363 Mennonite passengers arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We do not know the names of the ships and there are no ship lists which contain the names of the passengers. I have
used tax lists and warrants to determine who probably arrived on those ships.
According to Dielman Kolb's Bible record, Kolb arrived on August 10, 1717. This may mean that there was another ship full of Mennonites which left shortly before the three other ships which arrived on August 24, 1717, or Kolb's ship was
included with two others for a total of 353 arrivals. Another possibility is that Kolb wrote the wrong date.
After doing the research for this article, putting my list together and totaling the number of family members which I believe arrived in 1717, I was surprised to find that my total was approximately 363 passengers. There may have been other
Mennonite arrivals that summer, however, which I have not yet found. I believe that there were probably daughters in some of these families whom I have not been able to identify as yet, which would add to the number.
August 24, 1717 -- Arrivals on three ships: Hans Georg Bachman, age 31, Ibersheim, Germany, d. 1753, Lehigh Co., Pa.; wife: Anna Maria Schnebeli, age 19, Ibersheim, Germany, d. 1776, Lehigh Co., Pa.; child: Henrich Bachman, age 1, Ibersheim,
Germany"
1717 Immigration: [229] "The reasoning for putting Hans Georg Bachman as a 1717 immigrant is because he was naturalized with a number of settlers from Philadelphia, Chester, and Bucks counties in 1729 and the list was noted as solely for the
purpose of naturalizing those who arrived in the colonies previous to 1718. I am assuming that the 1729 list for the Philadelphia, Chester and Bucks counties was for the same purpose. It would appear that the others listed on the list with Hans
Georg all settled previous to 1718."
Bachman in Pennsylvania
1970 Biographical Sketch: [230] "George Bachman, the pioneer settler, was born in 1686 and acquired lands in the Coopersburg area of Bucks County (later Northampton) as early as 1735. Tract number 95 in Upper Saucon Township was warranted to
him about 1735, in pursuance of which warrant, there was patented to him on June 4, 1737, a tract of 334 1/2 acres. He established his residence here in what later became Coopersburg. On May 2, 1739, he took a warrant for 30 acres and on July
18, 1740 he received a patent on this warrant for more than 103 acres. One June 5, 1739, he filed a warrant for 80 acres and on July 18, 1740, he received a patent for 110 plus acres. About 1742, a warrant was issued to George Bachman, in
pursuance of which there was surveyed for him a tract (no. 34) of 40 acres. Bachman also drew the warrant for a tract of 38 acres. In other original titles, George Bachman received tracts nos. 11, 23, and 39. All of these tracts amounted to
about 1,000 acres of land.
In 1742, George Bachman was one of the early settlers who petitioned that the area be made a township. It was to be called Saucon or Sak-unk, an Indian name meaning 'at the place of the creek's mouth.' Bachman was also one of those who
petitioned to erect Upper Saucon Township in March of 1743. About 1745, George Bachman opened a hotel in Coopersburg known as 'Der Siebenstern' (The Seven Stars). 'The Crown,' a resort in South Bethlehem, was visited by the Bachmans of Saucon
while they were in the area on business or simply to partake of the good cheer and camaraderie there.
George Bachman died in 1753 and was buried at the neighboring meeting house. His immediate descendants seem to have held sole possession of the original Bachman tract until the close of the 18th century. In 1758, claims were filed based on the
deeding of the property by Anna Maria Bachman to the sons as follows: George, Jr., A-1-113 and A-1-114, July 24 and 16, 1754 respectively; Jacob, A-1-116, March 17, 1755; John, A-1-119, April 7, 1758; and Samuel, A-1-123, April 7, 1758."
1997 Biographical Sketch: [231] "The Lenn-Lenape Indians kept a village knows as Skakunk or Sa-ku-wit, meaning 'mouth of the creek.' At first, the Swiss had named this general region 'Der Grosse Sumpf' after the many fingers of the Great Swamp
Creek where a larger community of Mennonites lived a few miles to the southwest. Eventually, the Bachman land became more specifically known as 'Saucon.'
Johannes Georg Bachman must have been among the earliest to stop since he staked claim to the best part of the gateway, a wide and deep section astride the trail, well-watered by Saucon Creek. The settlers interested in metalwork discovered
rich ores of zinc and iron around the limestone soil of Saucon. The Penn family did not officially buy the land from the Indians until a treaty was signed on 7 September 1732."
1997 Biographical Sketch: [232] "Georg received his patent to the first property on 4 June 1737, being tract No. 95 for 334 1/2 acres. Tract No. 34 was also warranted to him in 1742 for 40 acres; tract No. 24 was warranted eight years later to
Jacob Bachman for 71 1/4 acres, the future site of Philipsburg. [233] The Bachman family at Saucon held ten farmsteads during the early years, totally over 1,000 acres. [234] Along with their neighbors, the making of 145 tracts into an official
Upper Saucon Township began with a petition filed in March 1743."
1997 Biographical Sketch: [235] "Back in Saucon Township, the volume of traffic passing his front door persuaded Georg Bachman to open an inn and tavern by 1745. A considerable number were German Moravians heading for their new settlement. On a
Christmas Eve just a few years before, they founded the town of Bethlehem seven miles further north along the trail.
"The large squared logs were lathed and plastered on the outside, of a yellow tint with white lines drawn to imitate some blocks," recalled old timers who had seen 'Der Siebenstern,' meaning 'The Seven Stars,' before it was torn down after 96
years. "The sign, a moon and seven stars, stood in the middle of the public road. The squared, lathed logs distinguished the owner as wealthy and 'genteel.'" Their interior was completed "with large flat stones for a floor."
'The bar room was furnished with small crude tables arranged along the walls. On these tables was wine, which was cheap and served by half pints and pints. Later, whisky and other strong drink came into use and these were served by the
[four-ounce] gill.' [236]
Starting out in the German tradition, one big building sheltered both travelers and their animals. Under the same roof, better protection was insured against midnight horse thieves, and besides, the livestock could share their body heat with
the whole building.
The Siebenstern Inn faced north on the corner of present-day Main and State Street, the exact site of which was open ground in the late 20th century. The rectangular lot considered part of the tavern grounds ran along the east side of the
trail, bounded by the present-day streets of Oxford, to the north, Fourth on the east, Station on the south, and Main as the western edge. Across the lane from the tavern, a large stone barn was soon finished, right where the Coopersburg Town
Hall now stands. The huge barn could accommodate 30 to 40 teams of horses at one time. [237] Not too long after it opened in 1748, Georg Bachman patronized an elegant inn and resort founded at Bethlehem called 'The Crown,' and perhaps borrowed
ideas for his own place.
In 1752, the permanent population of the Saucon Township reached 650 souls. Georg Bachman died around 22 November 1754, and was buried at the old meetinghouse next door to his original property. [234] Tombstones for the elder Bachman and the
preacher Jacob Meyer are among the oldest there. His third son, Hans George Jr., continued to run the tavern and inn.
The year after Georg Sr.'s death, workers completed the Old Bethlehem Pike, making the last section from Bachman's to Bethlehem into a proper wagon road. It can be traced from Philadelphia, roughly following the course of present-day Route 309,
onto Route 378, known north of Coopersburg as Wyandotte Street"
1735 Mennonite Meetinghouse: [238] "The original Mennonite meetinghouse was erected about 1735 on the northeast corner of Bachman's land."
1753 Tombstone: [224] "The English translation of the gravestone of George Bachman reveals that the word 'EHRSAME' means HONORABLE. No doubt the family and neighbors of George Bachman showed him a great respect when these words were carved on
his stone. The tombstone further reveals that he was married 38 years and had 7 sons and 4 daughters."
1753 Tombstone: [239] Saucon Mennonite Cemetery, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. (English translation of German words on George Bachman's tombstone.)

1753 Bachman Will: [224] "The Will of Johann George Bachman can be found in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania Will Book K, page 179. It was written on 15 Oct 1753 and presented to the court in Philadelphia on 29 May 1754. He leaves all his
remaining real and personal properties to his wife Anna Maria. He has already distributed land and monies to his married children. To his remaining minor sons, John, Samuel, and Abraham, he asks that his wife distribute land when they reach 21
years of age. Money is left to daughter Susannah upon her eighteenth birthday (as has gone to all his daughters). He states that should any of his children dispute his will that they be proclaimed disobedient and that the remaining estate be
sold. He further leaves money to the poor of his congregation. The will was signed George Bachman and witnessed by Jacob Musselman, George Acherman, and John Hooker. The will was undisputed. It should be noted that he named his wife as
Executrix and his son Henry, friend Abraham Clemens and friend John Joeder, Jr., as overseers." | BACHMAN, George (I1405)

Judge Boyd also handed down an opinion in the case of Thomas Hunter against Mary L. Hersperger, appealed from the Orphans' Court of Montgomery County. This is an appeal from an order of the Orphans' Court, which directed the administrator of the estate of the late Hannah Hunter to invest the amount remaining in his hands and pay the income to the husband, Thomas Hunter, and after his death, to the children of Hannah Hunter. The Court of Appeals affirms the decision of the lower court in holding that the distribution was entirely in accord with the provisions of the statue for the distribution of the estates for those who die intestate. | HUNTER, Mary Louise (I1689)

Based on an unsigned genealogy obtained 3/7/2000, Peter Shaul (Challe) was thought to have been of french ancestry who came to the United States from England on the Ship "The Virginia" as an indentured servant working as a blacksmith. The ship left London 12/11-18/1773. He was sold to a Moses Ellsworth in German Valley, Virginia. He is listed as a Private in the Revolutionary War. There is additional information about the descendants of Peter Shaul at www.shaul.org
The Cheuvront site (http://internettrash.com/users/cheuvront) shows a direct connection to Moses Elsworth. Moses may have paid for the passages or John Cheuvront and Peter Challe met Moses in New York and went with him to German Valley, New Hope, Rockingham County, Virginia. John married Elizabeth Elsworth, daughter of Moses and Maria Elizabeth Henkle (Hinkle) Elsworth, the older sister of Rosanna Elsworth.

Bayard K. Hersberger, 71, Dies after Year's Illness
Bayard Kerr Hersberger, 71, of 1424 Cincinnati avenue, died shortly after 6 p.m. yesterday at St. John's hospital following an illness extending over the past year, and as a result of two falls which he sustained since the first of the year. Mr. Hersberger, who was forced to retire as a telegraph editor of the Anderson Herald following a fall on the ice last winter, suffered a broken hip when he fell three weeks ago yesterday. Because of his failing health, Mr. Hersberger failed to respond to treatment at the hospital where he was taken following his most recent accident and his condition was regarded as critical throughout yesterday.
He had served in editorial department capacities on the Herald at various times for 32 years. He also had been employed on newspapers in several other cities including Dayton, O., Terre Haute, and Indianapolis, and represented an Indianapolis paper in this city for several years.
Surviving Mr. Hersberger are the widow, Mrs. Edith Hersberger, two daughters, Mrs. Lois Smith, Mattoon, Ill., and Mrs. Alice Durgan, 2526 Lincoln street, Anderson; a stepdaughter, Mrs. Agnes Goble, Phoenix, Ariz.; his stepmother, Mrs. Mollie Hersberger, 905 West Ninth street; two sisters, Mrs. Hilda Henning, 1901 Central avenue, and Mrs. Bernice Seipel, 1813 Meridian street; three brothers, Milton, Put-in-Bay, O.; Alvin Hersberger, R.R. 3, Anderson, and Esmond Hersberger, Chicago. Seven grandchildren also survive.
Mr. Hersberger's body was taken to the Albright funeral home, pending completion of funeral arrangements.
Mr. Hersberger was born in Pendleton June 15, 1877, and came to Anderson when a youth. He had a wide variety of interests and activities, having attended Indiana University and subsequently studying for the ministry. He was also associated with his father, the late Milton Hersberger, Sr., in the real estate business, but gave up this to go to Chicago with Sears and Roebuck. He also taught school for a time in Madison county, but always returned to his primary interest---the newspaper business. He also maintained a keen interest in farming. He was among the first newspaper correspondents who entered Dayton, O., following the 1913 flood which threatened destruction of that city.
He was a member of the Colonial Evangelical United Brethren church. Mr. Hersberger was popular among his co-workers and maintained a keen sense of humor throughout his active life. [Note this was a page 1 article with a large photo of Bayard.]

Sunday Herald Editorial--Bayard K. Hersberger
Bayard K. Hersberger, age 71, dean of Anderson newspaper men, died Friday evening at St. John's hospital, following an illness of a year's duration which had been complicated by two falls in which he suffered injury. He had been forced to retire as Anderson Herald telegraph editor when he suffered injuries from a fall on the ice last winter. Three weeks ago he fell again breaking a hip. Following this fall, he failed to respond to treatment and his condition became critical Friday.
He had served in several capacities in the editorial department of The Herald at various times during the last 32 years. He was widely known over the county having been this newspaper's county editor for some time. He also served as farm editor of The Herald for a number of years and his acquaintance among the farmers of this community was large.
Mr. Hersberger had also been affiliated with newspapers in Dayton O., Terre Haute and Indianapolis during his newspaper career. He was a member of the Anderson Police Department during the administration of the late Dr. Francis M. Williams. He was always an ardent Republican party worker.
He was born at Pendleton June 15, 1877, and came to Anderson when a youth. He attended Indiana university and subsequently studied for the ministry. He later taught school for a time in this county. At one time he was associated with his father, the late Milton Hersberger, Sr., in the real estate business. But he always returned to his first love---the newspaper business.
He was familiarly known around the city as "Hersh" and had a keen sense of humor. On most any occasion, he would have a new story to pass on to his listeners.
He was an active member of the Colonial Evangelical-United Brethren church
