The details of this incorporation are set out in historical articles which are included in the subsequent pages of this book. The reason for the selection of the particular dates, September 12th to 18th, for the observance of the celebration of the centennial anniversary of this event, is because of the fact that since the year 1884, when tiie first "fair", under the auspices of the Hanover Agricultural Society, was inaugurated, — "FairWeek,"— tlic third week in Sejiteniber — has become a more or less generally recognized Home-Coming week for former Hanoverians, and in a way, a general hohday period for the entire community. The crystallization of the generally prevalentfeeling that the Centennial of Hanover's corporate existence should be fittingly observed occurred in a meeting of the Town Council held March 5. At this meeting a motion prevailed, which was offered by J. Curvin Bender and seconded by Dr. Charles A. Keagy, providing that a committee of council be appointed to call, and conduct a mass meeting of citizens to consider the possibilities of a Centennial Celebration and arrange for its observance. This Committee consisted of Burgess H. M. Stokes; S. J. Rudisill, President of the Town Council, and J. Curvin Bender and Dr. Chas. A. Keagy, Councilmen. At a meeting of citizens held April 9, 1915, in the Eagle Fire Engine House, which was presided over by Burgess Stokes, a general committee was appointed to make arrangements for a proper celebration of Hanover's Centennial. This general committee was finally organized as follows : President, H. S. Ehrhart; Vice-President, Clinton N. INIyers; Secretary. T. J. O'Neill: Treasurer, Paul Winebrenner; Assistant Secretary, Harry W. Young; E. Fred. Carver, S. J. Rudi- sill, J. Curvin Bender, H. M. Stokes, Reuel K. Hoke, M. W. Naill, T. F. McPherson. Sub-committees were formed, as shown by the roster of committees printed in these pages, and the faithfulness and efficiency of their labors will have their full measure of reward in the success of "Hanover's Birthday Party." Following a suggestion of the General Committee that to arouse civic pride, adverti.se the com- munity and stimulate municipal loyalty and allegiance, TOWN COLORS and a MUNICIPAL FLAG he adopted. The combination of "Blue, White and Gold" was the choice of the General Committee and was adopted by the Town Council; as was also a Municipal Flag. The Miinici|)a] Flag is a rectangular flag of the s:\nic proportions as the state flag of Pennsylvania, the field of which is blue of tlic shade of the Stale flag surrounded by a narrow gold border and containing a design of ii Keystone of While, outlined with (iold, on which is placed the Seal of the Borough of Ilanoxcr in (lold. This design was arranged and prei)ared by Miss Emily W. Ehrhart. This (•(iinhiiial ion of colors in ;i wmv signifies Hanover, ^'o^k Coinity, Pennsyhania, since the Blue is the blue of I he l'ciiiisyl\:iiii;i Mag; I he Wliile dislinclixi- of Ihe lloiiso of "S'ork [In the "^^a^ of the roses" tlic while rose dislingiiislii-d I lie parlisinis ol' Ihe House of "\'ork from their rivals the House of Laiiciislcr who l)ore the \lvd Rose;] :iii(l Ihe Gold being pnniincnl in the Hi laldrv of '"1 1 e House of Hannover." The coiiibinalion of ISlue, While and{!old,is also the coloring t)f the emblem of th3 family order of tlie House of IlaiiiioNcr. This book has been prejjared, lia\ iiig in mind the purjiose In preseiil such facts as were avail- able, which seemed likely lo be of general iiileresi now, and in the future about Hanover to all Mho are concerned in its welfare, and il is the hojje of tlie Committee having its publication in charge that this idea to some extent at least has been realized.

Hanover Centennial. HANOVER CENTENNIAL EAELY IHIAM@¥]EI1 By GEORGE R. PROWELL, Member of American Historical Association; Pennsylvania History Club; Curator and Librarian, York County Historical Society. IN the center of a beautiful vale, almost unrivaled for the fertility of its soil, and drained by the upper waters of the Conewago and Codorus creeks, lies the en- terprising and prosperous Borough of Han- over. The Centennial of Incorporation of the town into a borough is being celebrated with imposing ceremonies September 12 to 18, 1915. This event is designated as "Old Home Week." Two months before the celebration opened elaborate preparations were arranged to make the event long to be remembered by the inhabitants. Hanover is 601 feet above mean tide at Philadelphia and 229 feet higher than Center Square, York. Pigeon Hills, overlooking the town, is 896 feet, and Maryland Line, six miles south of Hanover, 820 feet above tide at Philadelphia. It was in 1625 that James I, of England, granted to George Calvert, a peer of England, and known to history as the first Lord Baltimore, a grant of land of uncertain boundaries, and afterwards known as the Province of Maryland. Both the King and Calvert died before the charter was confirmed by the British Orders in Council. At the death of George Calvert, in 1632, the Province of Maryland came into the possession of Cecil Calvert, second Lord Baltimore and eldest son of George Calvert. This was forty-nine years before William Penn obtained his charter from the English throne for the Province of Pennsylvania. In 1634 the second Lord Baltimore sent his brother, Ferdinand, across the Atlantic with two sailing vessels containing two hundred immigrants. They made the first settlement at St. Mary's in 1634, and from that time dates the permanent occupancy of Maryland. Although it was given to Cecil Calvert as a Catholic province he was liberal in his views and invited settlers of other de- nominations to take up lands in Maryland. In 1682, Wilham Penn came to America and settled first at Chester and a few months later founded Phila- delphia. He soon discovered that conflicts of title ex- isted between the grant given to Lord Baltimore and his own Province. Both being men of lofty character the controversy that arose in succeeding years among the early settlers along the border line of the two colonies, was never endorsed by either Calvert or Penn. Digges' Choice. On January 14, 1727, John Digges [pronounced Diggs] an Irish nobleman of Prince George's County, Maryland, obtained from Charles Calvert, the fourth Lord Baltimore, a grant for 10,000 acres of land upon part of which the Borough of Hanover is situated. When Lord Baltimore gave this grant, the land was thought to be in his own province. The original title to the land was given twelve years before the tem- porary line was run between Maryland and Pennsylvania, and nine years before the heirs of William Penn had purchased from the In- dians the right to lands west of the Susquehanna River. Under Lord Baltimore's grant John Digges was empowered to "locate said grant on whatsoever unimproved lands he pleased within the jurisdiction of his lordship." By the advice and under the direction of "Tom," a noted Indian chief, after whom Tom's Creek, in Frederick County, Maryland, is named, John Digges took up, by virtue of the grant 6,822 acres, embracing the whole of Penn Township and part of Heidelberg, in York County, and parts of Conowago, Germany and Union Townships, in Adams County. The warrant granted to Digges was renewed by Lord Baltimore in 1732. Many of the early settlers on Digges' Choice were Catholics who started in 1730 what became known as the Conewago Settlement in the vicinity of Hanover. Among the first of these settlers was Robert Owings, who took up a large tract of land a short distance northwest of the present site of McSherrystown. There were a few adventurers who crossed the Susquehanna as early as 1727. Some of the Scotch Irish settlers had taken up lands in the southern part of York County under the Maryland grants as early as 1733. At a meeting of the representatives from the province of Pennsylvania, held with the Indian chiefs from the Five Nations, at Philadelphia, in 1736, the heirs of Wil- liam Penn purchased the title to a vast extent of country west of the Susquehanna. The first Pennsylvania set- tlements west of the river were made by authority of Samuel Blunston, the agent of the Penns, who resided at Wright's Ferry, now Columbia. Blunston issued his first license in 1734, but as the Indians west of the Sus- quehanna were peaceable, a few settlers crossed the river before 1730. The charter granted to Lord Balti- more gave him the privilege of authorizing settlements in parts of western Maryland before the Indian title west of the Susquehanna was obtained by the Penns. In 1730 Andrew Shriver migrated from Philadelphia County and took up a valuable tract of land a short distance east of Littlestown, near the site of Christ Reformed Church. In 1731 Adam Forney and other 10 HANOVER CENTENNIAL German settlers procured from Johii Digges a bond of agreement for lands on Digges' Choice. Some of these, including a colony of Thirteen families from Eastern Pennsylvania passed across the present area of York County into the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, where they took up land among the earliest settlers of that fertile region. Bond of Agreement. The following is a copy of the bond of agreement given by John Digges to Adam Forney in 1731 : "Know all men by these pres?nts that I, John Digges, of Prince George's County, in the Pro- vince of Maryland, am held and firmly bound unto Adam Forney, of Philadelphia County, in the Province of Pennsylvania, farmer and tailor, in full and just sum of sixty pounds cur- rent money of Maryland, to which payment well and truly to be made and done bind my- self, my heirs, executors or administrators, firmly by these presents. Sealed with my seal and dated this fifth day of October, Anno Do- mino, 1731. "The condition of the obligation is such that if John Diggs, his heirs, executors or adminis- trators, shall and will at the reasonable request of the above Adam Forney, make and order sufficient conveyance according to the cus- tom and common usage of the Province of Mary- land, a certain parcel of land containing one hundred and fifty acres, already marked out by the above named Adam Forney, near a place known by the name of Robert Owing's Spring, and on the same tract of land where the said Robert Owings now dwells in the Province of Maryland, then this obligation to be void, other- wise to remain in full force and virtue in law. JOHN DIGGES. Sealed and delivered in the presence of us George Douglass. Johann Peter Zarich. Early Settlers. Among the early settlers who took up land, under Maryland titles on and around the site of Hanover between 1729 and 1733 were the following: Robert Owings, Adam Forney, and his son Nicholas, Peter Zarich, David Young, Andrew Shriver, Adam Miller, Adam Messier, John Lehman, Valentine and Conrad Eyler, Henry Sell, Martin Kitzmiller, Jacob and Derrick Youngblood, Peter Raysher, Charles Jones, Peter Youngblood, George Evanaar, Matthias Marker, Peter and William Oler, Jacob Bankert, Peter Webly, Herman Updegraff, [shoemaker], Peter Shultz [blacksmith], Leonard Barnes, Peter Ensrainger, Matthias Ullery, William Loyston, John Martin, Martin Birn, Abraham Sell, Adam Bittenger, and son Nicholas, Thomas Lilly, RICHARD MCALLISTER'S RESIDENCE Martin Buyers, Martin Ungefare, John Counts, John Morningstar, Ludwig Shriver, Michael Will, Peter Middlekauff and Henry Null. Mason and Dixon's Line. The controversy among the early settlers in regard to land title was partially settled when a temporary line was run between Pennsylvania and Maryland in 1739. Difficulties, however, continued until after Mason and Dixon's Line was run to the top of the Allegheny Mountains in 1768. The proclamations of the proprietaries of the two provinces were issued in 1774, after which time all confficting claims to land titles ended. Many of the early settlers were of German birth and had migrated west of the Susquehanna soon after landing in Philadelphia from the Palatinate region along the Rhine. The Church of the Sacred Heart, familiarly known as "Conewago Chapel," was the first house of worship erected by tlie Catholics west of the Suscjuehanna. Religious services were conducted by Jesuit priests as early as 1730. Richard McAllister. In 1745 Richard McAllister, a sturdy Scotch Irish- man, purcliased a tract of land upon which the original I own of Hanover was built. He was of Presbyterian ancestry, who had recently migrated to the Cumber- land Valley. These fertile lands were then covered with a dense forest of hickory, walnut and oak trees. Richard McAllister's plantation was crossed by the Monocacy Road wliich extended from the Susquehanna River at Wrightsville to Frederick, INIaryland, and was a promi- nent line of travel for many early settlers in western Maryland and the Valley of Virginia. His land was also reached from the south by a road built under a Maryland right to the site of Hanover and later to Carlisle. At the northeast corner of Baltimore and Middle Streets, where these two public highways crossed each HANOVER CENTENNIAL 11 other, Richard McAllister, in 1745, erected a log house and opened a store and tavern. This building two and one-half stories high, has since been cased in with brick and now stands where it was built 170 years ago. It was a prominent stopping place for travelers and here this frontiersman, in 1755, entertained Benjamin Frank- lin while on his visit to Frederick, Maryland, where he met Sir Edward Braddock, of the English Army. Richard McAllister became an influential man in the community, and in 1750, the year after York County was organized, was a candidate for the office of Sheriff. Founding of Hanover. In 1763 McAllister determined to lay out his farm into lots and found the town of Hanover. In his plan he named the streets diverging from Centre Square, Car- lisle, York, Baltimore and Frederick, in honor of the towns toward which they led. Abbottstown Street, originally known as Pigeon Street was named at a later date. The project to build a town was amusing to some of the German settlers, who at first called it "Hickory Town" because dense groves of native hickory trees grew abundantly around McAllister's tract. At this time John Schmeltzer resided at the southeast corner of Frederick Street and Centennial Avenue in a log house. John Nusser purchased the first lot in the town, situated two doors west of the Methodist Church. Soon afterwards lots were purchased and houses built where the Rupp residence stands on Frederick Street, one on the north side of Broadway, near the Square, and another on the opposite side of the same street.

The name Hanover was suggested by Michael Tan- ner [Danner], one of the commissioners who laid out York County, in 1749, and who at that time owned large tracts of land southeast of the town. He was a native of Hannover, in Germany, and in order to please the German settlers, the founder obeyed his suggestion, although the settlement was called "McAllister's Town," for more than a third of a century. All the original lots were sold subject to a quit-rent, and each owner was required to build a house at least eighteen feet square, within two years from the time of purchase. Erdman's Geography, pubhshed in German in 1790 contains the following: "Hanover or McAllister's Town, in York County, Pennsylvania, was laid out in 1763, and derived its name from Richard McAllister, who here had an estate and on whose land the place was laid out. He received a ground rent for it which, when he died, in 1796, amount- ed to 500 pounds sterling. The place has at present 190 houses, mostly well built. The inhabitants largely of German Lutheran and Reformed, both of which de- nominations have churches of their own. In the center of the town is a square. To the Lutheran congregation belong eight associated churches in the country." FIRST RAILROAD STATION H. J. H. & G. R. R.— Now Western Maryland Railroad Growth of the Town. Hanover prospered the first years of its existence. The original houses were mostly built of logs. It was a village of 500 inhabitants when the Revolutionary War began. From 1790 to 1808 houses were erected more rapidly. The New and Universal Gazetteer, in 1800, says that Hanover "is the second town in York County for size and wealth. It contains about 260 houses, many of brick." A steady increase in buildings and popula- tion continued until the period of the War of 1812-14, after which the town remained nearly stationary until 1840. From that date there was a slight yearly improve- ment until 1852, when the building of a railroad to Han- over Junction caused an impetus to the growth and development of the town. Besides the handsome build- ings erected during this period, many of the old log houses were replaced by brick or frame ones of modern architecture. Hanover in the Revolution. When the war opened with England at the battles of Concord and Lexington, in Massachusetts, York County was prompt in forming battalions to serve in the Ameri- can army. Immediately after the news was received of the Battle of Bunker Hill a company from York, Hanover and the region around the site of Gettysburg marched to Boston. This company and the Morgan Rifles of Virginia were the first commands in this country to use what is since been known as the American rifle. It was a flint-lock gun but attracted special attention by the British troops who captured two soldiers from York County while on a reconnoitering party around Boston. Early in 1776, General Howe, who had succeeded General Gage in command of the English regulars, set sail from Boston and landed at Long Island. His pur- pose was to capture that city. When the news reached 12 HANOVER CENTENNIAL CENTER SQUARE IN 18fi3 Scene of hand to hand encounter during battle Pennsylvania of Howe's movement on New York, five battalions, in all 2400 men from York County, in answer to a call marched to Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Mean- time the Battle of Long Island had taken place and the Southern part of New York City fell into the hands of the British. A special call for 10,000 troops to be recruited from the militia of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware was promptly responded to. Of the number mentioned 6,000 were to come from Pennsylvania, 3,400 from Maryland, 600 from Delaware. A conference was held at Philadelphia. Two of the members from York County who attended this conference were Richard McAllister and Henry Slagle. Congress decided to call this new body of soldiers the "Flying Camp." They were nearly all young men who had marched to Perth Amboy. It was on July 4, 1776, that General Hugh Mercer, a personal friend of Wash- ington was placed in command of the Flying Ciimp. York County which then included Adams, recruited the First and the Second regiments under Mercer. The Flying Camp was divided into two bri^iidcs. One of these was commanded by Daniel Robcrdcjui, of rhila- delphia, and the other by James Ewing, who then lixcd on a plantation eight miles east of York. These of- ficers were appointed to their commands on the same day that the Declaration of Independence was jjassed at Philadelphia. In 1775 two companies of York County troops, in- cluding some young men from Hanover joined the first expedition to Canada. Among the soldiers of distinction who served in the Pennsylvania Regiment that marched under Montgomery, to Quebec, were Colonel Thomas Hartley of York, Captain David Grier, of Adams County and Captain Abdiel McAllister, son of the founder of Hanover. Special attention is given in this article to the Second Regiment of the Flying Camp, who won a reputation for valor under their gallant leader in several engagements. The militia battalions of York County, including all companies from Hanover and vicinity were present at the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown and White Marsh. Some of the militia enlisted in the Continental Line and marched with General Wayne to Yorktown, Virginia, where the last battle of the Revolution was fouglit during the latter part of 1781. During the seven years that the Revolution continued, many troops from Virginia, Maryland, North Carolira marched through Hanover on their way to join Wash- ington's Army. A significant fact of history is worthy of special men- tion to close this chapter. On the day before Christ- mas, 1778, 4, .500 British and Hessian prisoners who had surrendered at Saratoga were marched by Pennsylvania troops to Winchester and Charlottesville, Virginia. These men were the remnants of Burgoyne's Army, who had surrendered to Gates at Saratoga, New York, after the Battle of Stillwater. They were held as prisoners of war in the South until 1781 and then removed to prison pens near York, Lancaster and Reading until the treaty of Peace had been signed in 1783, between the United States and England. McAllister's Regiment. The Second Pennsylvania Regiment of the Flying Camp, commanded by Colonel Richard McAllister, of Hanover, was composed of eight companies. Six of these companies were recuited out of the battalions of militia which had marched to New Jersey from various parts of York County, and the territory now embraced in Adams County. These companies were commanded respectively by Captains Nicholas Bittinger, William M< Carter, William McCJoskey, John Laird, Samuel Wilson and John Paxlon. Two companies from Bucks County belonged to this regiment. McAllister's regi- ment was at IVrlli Amboy, N. J.. October 8, 1776, when il conlained 41 commissioned otticers and staff, 43 non- coiniMissioned ollicers and 438 rank and file. David Kennedy was Lieutenant-Colonel, and John Clark, who had |)revii)usly served with the first troops that left ^'ork Counly for Boston, was commissioned Major. Meantime, the battle of Long Island had been fought and Ihe British had taken possession of New York Citv, wluch tlien covered the lower part of Manhattan Island. Wasliington retreated to the Northern part of the island and then placed his army on both sides of the Hudson. The enemy held Long Island and Staten Island. Gen- eral Mercer, commanding the Flying Camp, dispatched McAllister's Regiment to attack a body of the enemv on Staten Island, October 14th. Major John Clark, in his autobiography, says : "In the expedition to Staten Island, HANOVER CENTENNIAL 13 I took a stand of British colors of the Twenty-third Light Dragoons. I commanded the advance of 500 riflemen and the first Hessians taken, in the Revolution, or rather Waldeckers, fell into my hands, about sixty." Scon tflei th€ Stattn Island affair, McAllister's regiment joined the brigade at Fort Lee. At this time. Major Clark selected 200 men from the regiment to guard the passes opposite White Plains. He fortified his position and laid plans to prevent detachment of Howe's army from passing up the Hudson. With the same detachment on November 9, at the command of General Greene, Clark was sent to Dobb's Ferry on the east side of the Hudson to protect the land- ing of a quantity of flour for the American army. With his accustomed sagacity, Clark reconnoitered the situ- ation and discovered that the enemy to the number of about 5,000 were encamped near by. He reported that in his opinion, the British were laying plans to cross the river and attack Fort Washington, situated in the Northern part of Manhattan Island, now at 124th Street, New York City. Swope's regiment from York and vicinity was sta- tioned on the New Jersey side of the Hudson to guard the passes of that stream during the battle of White Plains fought on the Eastern side of the river, near Yonkers. Colonel Robert Magaw, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, with 3,000 men, was placed in charge of the defenses of Fort Washington. General Greene, struck with the importance of protecting Magaw, sug- gested to the Commander-in-Chief that a portion of the Flying Camp, then stationed on the western side of the Hudson, should cross over and assist Colonel Magaw in defending Fort Washington. This fort was considered a stragetic point, and General Howe determined to at- tack in with a large force. It was one of the most hazard- ous positions defended by Pennsylvania troops during the entire period of the Revolution. Ten thousand regulars would have been required to successfully per- form this duty. Battle of Fort Washington In accordance with General Greene's suggestion. Colonel Swope's and a part of McAllister's regiment crossed the Hudson and joined the Pennsylvania troops under Magaw in defending the fort. November 15, the Adjutant-General, [Patterson], of the British army, was sent to summon the garrison in Fort Washington to surrender, threatening at the same time, to "put it to the sword," if the demand was rejected. At this junc- ture, Colonel Magaw sent the following communica- tion to General Greene: "Flag of truce came out just now from King's Bridge. The Adjutant-General was at the head of it. I sent down Colonel Swope. The Adjutant-General would hardly give him two hours for an alternative between surrendering at discretion or every man being put to the sword. He waits an answers. YORK STREET, FACING BROADWAY, 1862 I shall send him a proper one. You will, I dare say, do what is best. We are determined to defend the post or die." In response to this communication. Colonel Swope, of York delivered the following remarkable document to the adjutant-General of the British army in accordance with the directions of Colonel Magaw : "If I rightly understand the purport of your message from General Howe, communicated to Colonel Swope, this post is to be immediately surrendered or the garri- son put to the sword. I rather think it is a mistake, than a settled resolution in General Howe, to act the part so unworthy of himself and the British nation. "But give me leave to assure His Excellency that actuated by the most glorious cause that mankind ever fought in, I am determined to defend this post to the very last extremity." After learning the determination of these gallant Penn- sylvania troops, the British decided to make the attack, the following day. Early in the morning on the 16th, the enemy's batteries from the Eastern side of the Harlem River, opened fire upon the command of Colonel Baxter, of Maryland and Colonel Lambert Cadwallader, of Pennsylvania, who held position without the fort. Meanwhile General Washington, with Greene, Mer- cer and Putnam, crossed the river from Fort Lee to the vicinity of Fort Washington, and examined the position of the American troops and reconnoitered the movements of the enemy. These officers then returned to Fort Lee, and trusted the entire command to Colonel Magaw and his heroic band of patriots. About noon. General Knyphausen, commanding the Hessian forces, began a furious attack upon the North. At the same time attacks were made by Lord Percv on 14 HANOVER CENTENNIAL ABBOTTSTOWN STREET IN 1863 the South, and Colonel Sterling and General Matthews crossed the Harlem River and moved on the fort from the East. The British drove the Americans from their out-post and soon stood victorious upon the hills over- looking the open fields around Fort Washington. Near the Fort, severe skirmishes took place and many of the Hessian pursuers were slain. The defense was gallant, with pike, ball and bayonet used by 5,000 British sol- diers overpowered the weakened patroits and they were nearly all gathered within the ramparts of the fort, but not until about 1000 men had fallen into the hands of the enemy. General Howe sent an order for surrender. Perceiving further resistance to be in vain, Magaw complied and at half past one, the British flag was waving where the Continental banner had been unfurled defiantly in the morning. The entire garrison, numbering nearly 3,000 men surrendered. Washington standing on the ramparts of Fort Lee with tears in his eyes, saw the garrison in Fort Washington meet its doom, and the American banner torn down and replaced by Ihc flag of England. When the attack on Fort Washington began about noon of November 16, 1776, Swopc's regiment was defending one of the outposts some distance lo Ihe southeast. His position was assaulted by the Hessian troops under Knyphausen. Swope's men fought gal- lantly, but being overpowered by the enemy were com- pelled to fall back. In this movement they were flanked by the British and Hessians and forced to surrender. Almost the entire command of four hundred York Coun- ty soldiers became prisoners of war. Jacob Barnitz, a young man of eighteen and the color bearer of the regiment, was wounded in both legs by rifle balls, and was left on the field. The attack of the enemy was violent and impestuous, and as they approached the outpost of the fort, the Hessians lost heavily in killed and wounded from the well directed aim of Pennsyl- vania soldiers. Colonel McGaw's loss in killed and wounded did not exceed one hundred men, but almost his entire command of 3,000 men were compelled to surrender to twice their number of the enemy. Colonel Thomas Hartley, in 1779, wrote a letter stating that nearly 400 York County troops largely from Swope's regiment and partly from McAllis- ter's, had been held in New York and Long Island as prisoners of war; that at the expiration of the three years only fifty of the entire number captured had re- turned to their homes. He made this assertion to prove the loyalty of the people West of the Susquehanna to the cause of American independence. Hartley who himself was an authority in military affairs and a close friend of Washington, in this letter said : "York County has furnished more troops for the army in proportion to the population than any other county in the thirteen original states." Owing to the absence of official documents which were burned in Washington in 1814 during the second war with England when the public buildings were de- stroyed by General Ross, who was finally defeated and killed at the Battle of North Point, near Baltimore, September 12, 1814, it is impossible to give the muster roll of McAllister's regiment. The casualties of McAllister's regiment as far as can be obtained were the following: Captain INIcCarter whose home was near Hanover, shot through the breast and died five days after the battle; Captain Nicholas Bit- tinger, the ancestor of the Bittinger family in York and Adams counties, held as a prisoner of war in New York for several months; Lieutenants William Young, Joseph Martin, Hugh King, John Shannon, Henry Bittinger, ensign Thonuxs Reed, private Charles Wilson. Soon after the defeat at Fort Washington and White Plains the Anu-rican Army retreated across New Jersey and the main body of the army under Washington, took l)()silion in Pcunsyh ania. IVIc.Vllister's regiment fol- lowed llie fortunes of the (\)mmander-in-Chief and was l)resent at the Baltic of Trenton, where Washington won a brilliant success on Christmas night, 1776. The Han- over regiment xohinteered to remain in the service two months longer than the term of enUstment. It was present at the Battle of Princeton, serving in the brigade commanded by General James Ewing. After his return home, Richard McAllister was ap- pointed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania to organize and train miUtia of York County. His associate in this work was his brother-in-law, Colonel Matthew Dill, founder of Dillsburg. HANOVER CENTENNIAL 15 BATTLE OF NORTH POINT, NEAR BALTIMORE, SEPTEMBER 12, 1814 In which two companies of Hanoverians participated Hanover in the War of 1812. The military spirit continued at Hanover after 1800. In that year two volunteer companies were organized and their officers commissioned by the Governor of Pennsylvania. One of these companies was commanded by Captain Frederick Metzgar and the other by Cap- tain John Bair. Both of these companies paraded in uniform and regularly drilled once a month on the Public Common. Soon after the second war between England and the United States opened in 1812, about a dozen men from Hanover enlisted in the American army, and went to the Niagara frontier. After the destruction of the public buildings at Wash- ington by the British under General Ross, he appeared at Baltimore and threatened that city. It was believed if the British were successful at Baltimore, they would march to Philadelphia. For the purpose of joining in the defense of Baltimore, Governor Snyder, of Penn- sylvania, in response to an order from President Madison, called out the mihtia. About 1,000 troops rendezvoused at Hanover and 6,000 on the Public Common at York. Previous to the arrival of these troops from the Central and Eastern parts of the state. Captains Spangler's company from York and the Hanover companies marched to the defense of Baltimore. There were only three Pennsylvania companies recorded in the official reports and in Thomas Runkle's lithograph, engraved soon after the engagement, that took part in the famous battle of North Point. These companies were commanded by Captains Metzgar and Bair, of Hanover, and Captain Spangler, of York. The two companies left Hanover on the march to Baltimore, Sunday morning, August 28, 1814, in response to the governor's orders. They reached Baltimore at 9 A. M., Tuesday, and soon after were attached to a Maryland regiment. The British approached Baltimore and on September 12, the memorable battle of North Point took place. One or two men of Captain Metzgar's company re- ceived slight wounds, and one of Spangler's men was severly wounded, and two were slightly injured. The only names that are known of soldiers who formed the rank and file of Captain Bair's company are Frederick Messing, Jacob Young, George Trone, Frederick Bit- tinger, George Grove, John P. Storm, Samuel Flicking- er, Adam Forney, George Grumbine, Samuel Weigle and John Beard. Captain Bair's company was on the extreme right of of the American army at North Point and Captain Metzgar's company was stationed near the center of the fighting line. Both companies are shown in the half-tone illustration accompanying this article. The Battle of North Point. On September 12, a fierce engagement took place between a large detachment of the British troops, led 16 HANOVER CENTENNIAL by General Ross, and General Strickler's brigade of Maryland and Pennsylvania militia and a few regulars. The fighting was lively and spirited, but lasted only a short time, when the American troops were flanked by the enemy and were compelled to retreat toward Balti- more. In their retreat from North Point to Baltimore, large bodies of Virginia and Pennsylvania militia came to their support. There were 12,000 American troops in the vicinity of Baltimore, fully armed and equipped to meet the invading foe, which was claimed to be the "flower of Wellington's army," having fought under him at the battle of Waterloo, where they had aided in de- feating Napoleon Bonaparte.

These men took no further part in the second war with England which lasted until January, 1815. Hanover in 1815. In the year 1763 the town of Hanover was founded. After an existence of fifty-two years, on the 4th of March, 1815, twenty years after the death of the founder, a charter was obtained from the Legislature of Pennsyl- vania, incorporating it into a borough. The population in 1820, five years later, was 946, in 1830, 998; in 1840, 1100; 1850, 1205; in 1860, 1638; in 1870, 1839; in 1880, 2317; in 1890, 3746; in 1900, 5302; in 1910, 7037.

Smith, Samuel, Sterner, John, Recollections of "Judge" Young. The following is an interview of the writer of this story and published in the Hanover Weekly Herald, with William Young in 1887, in his eighty-fourth year, who recollects as far back to the time of the incorpora- tion of Hanover from a town to a borough. Mr. William Young, of Carlisle Street, who was born in 1803, in Hanover, and whose recollections of persons and events of three quarters of a century ago, is remark- ably good, recalls the form, stature, personal character- istics and place of residence of nearly every one of them. Mr. Young's mind is further remarkable in the fact that he takes the same interest in the current events of the day that he takes in the scenes and incidents of the olden time, when our grandfathers were boys. Before the writer was permitted to question him concerning the inhabitants of Hanover when it was incorporated into a borough, he was requested to discuss the main point of the President's last message to Congress. Having disposed of that important subject, and a few side issues on the tariff question, our venerable friend in answer to the inquiry "Do you recall events that occurred as far back as 1815?" said, "yes, I guess I do. I remember when the war of 181'-2 opened, when we supposed our new Republic was again to be overrun by the British foe. You know that the English were beaten at the time of the Revolution and they were envious of our prosperity after that; so they made the impressment of American sailors a pretext for another war, and they had it and wc lieat them a second time, and if we hadn't you wouldn't be so anxious to write about it, would you? We would have free trade now, sure if the British owned us. "Well on Sunday morning, August '■28, 1814, when Gen. Ross was marching on the City of Baltimore, iil'lcr liaviMg burned the capitol buildings at Washing- Ion, in response to the orders of Governor Simon Snyder, of PcuiisyKania, two companies of soldiers commanded by Cnplain Frederick Metzger [with Henry Wirt as First Lieulonant] and Captain John Bair, left Hanover for the city of Baltimore. After the defeat of the British at North Point, and the death of Ross, the Pennsylvania militia were no longer needed, and were sent home. The Hanover Company returned after two weeks of service. I was then eleven years old, and when we boys heard of the approach of the soldiers we went down the Baltimore pike to meet them. Each boy was allowed to carry a musket just to see how -soldjei'ly we would look. HANOVER CENTENNIAL 19 and we then felt big enough to whip a thousand Red- coats ourselves. "Yes, there were a great many stories told about the bravery of some of the Pennsylvania militia at the battle of North Point, but it was customary in those days to get off jokes. People didn't have so many newspapers to read then as they do now. Our Hanover boys of 1814 deserve a great deal of credit for their patriotism in going to Baltimore." "Do you remember the first borough election?" "The first borough election of Hanover in 1815, was held at the tavern of Jacob Eichelberger, who was elect- ed chief burgess and, also for the years 1 823-4-5 . He was an influential man in his day in local affairs. He was tall, well formed, walked very erect, and was a true repre- sentative of the gentleman of the olden time. He had a smooth face, and wore the familiar cue, now entirely out of use, but which during the period of the Revolu- tion and a quarter of a century later, was much worn. He was a merchant, a farmer, and for many years owned the tavern on the site of the Central Hotel. It was known as the Stage oflace, and was the stopping place of the stages going north and south and east and west. It was a well kept public inn. For a time he was president of the Hanover & Maryland Line Turnpike Co., and in 1835 became the first President of the Han- over Saving Fund Society. He died in 1843. Abner W., Rufus A., and Henry Eichelberger, of Hanover, and Matthias Eichelberger, of Gettysburg were his sons. Mrs. Alex. McCosh and Miss Amelia Eich- elberger, were his daughters. Jacob Eichelberger was a well known and popular man, and had the honor of entertaining a great many prominent travelers during the days of the stage coach. He weighed over three hundred pounds." "The Councilmen elected in 1815 were George Nace, Henry Winebrenner, Peter Winebrenner, Jacob Ritz, George Frysinger, John SchoU, William Young and Daniel Barnitz. What do you know of them?" "George Nace, [Nes or Neas,] was one of the leading men of the town and of the entire community in 1815, for many years before and many years later. He was also a gentleman of the old school. He had a good Enghsh education, was an excellent penman, could make an intelhgent speech, and wrote some poetry which was worthy of preservation. Everybody spoke well of George Nace, and he was a valuable man for the town. He was a Justice of the Peace for a long time, and in 1807-8-9-10, was a member of the Legislature. At that time Lancaster was the capital of the State and remained so until 1810. George Nace was a FederaUst and was elected to office by that party. In stature he was tall and erect, was over six feet in height and of robust con- stitution. He was appointed Postmaster of Hanover by President John Adams, in 1799, and was re-appointed by Thomas Jefferson, in 1802, and served continuously CENTER SQUARE IN 1873 from his first appointment until 1813. He then lived on the corner of Carlisle and Chestnut Streets. The mail was not very heavy then . It was brought by stages and sometimes I could have put the entire mail in my hat. It cost from five to twenty-five cents according to dis- tance, to send a letter and of course they were not so welcome as when prepaid. Lovers didn't write letters every day then. George Nace was a tanner and suc- ceeded his father, Matthias Nace, in the ownership of the tannery at the west end of Chestnut Street. He did an extensive business. He obtained many of the hides he tanned from South America, by way of Balti- more, to which point he shipped his leather. He built the large mansion owned and occupied by A. N. Michael, at the corner of West Chestnut and High Streets. He left one child, a daughter, who married Matthias N. Forney, of Baltimore, and whose children were George N. Forney, Mrs. Henry Wirt, Miss Annie Forney, of Hanover, Mrs. Joseph Baugher Bittinger of Sewickley, Pa., David P. Forney of near Hanover and Matthias N. Forney, of New York City. George Nace was born in the year 1769 and died in 1829. The marble slab that marks his tomb in the old Reformed graveyard,, bears this inscription : 'The excellencies of his virtues are embalmed in the hearts of his friends.' "Peter Winebrenner was a saddler and understood his trade well. He prospered in life. He owned and re- sided in a dwelling on the site of the present residence of Henry Wirt. Peter W'inebrenner, like all the other tradesman of Hanover of his day, took much of the products of his industry to Baltimore to dispose of them. He was an able man and was prominent in the affairs of the church. For many years he engaged in the lum- 20 HANOVER CENTENNIAL CARLISLE STREET IN 1865 ber business and had a lumber-yard at the rear of his residence. He obtained his lumber from the Susque- hanna River at Eib's landing, near Mt. Wolf, and at Wrightsville. He had three sons, John, now residing in Gettysburg, Charles, late of Hanover, and Henry, the father of David E. Winebrenner, of Frederick Street. "Henry Winebrenner, the brother of Peter, was also one of the first Councilmen. He was a wheelwright, and then resided on York Street, but about 1820 he moved to Columbiana Co., Ohio, to which place a number of Hanover people moved about that time. "John Scholl owned a considerable tract of land now occupied by the Northwest portion of the town and bordering on that section. He was a man of affairs and considered one of the leading citizens of the town. He lived for a time on Baltimore Street, where Henry Schriver now resides. This was his home when he was elected councilman in 181.5. He was also a saddler and harness maker. "George Frysinger was a wagonmaker. He resided and had his shop on Baltimore Street, [on the site of the present home of Dr. H. M. Alleman.] During tlic early part of the present century and the latter j)art of lust century, there was considerable trade carried on hclwccii Hanover and the town of Virginia, especially Lccsburg. George Frysinger and other wagonmakers, besides furnishing wagons for the local trade, took a number of them to Leesburg, and sold them to the \'irginia farmers. It was customary to go at the time of the meeting of the Court of Quarter Sessions. Leesburg is the county seat of Loudoun County, and the meeting of the court then served the double purpose of adminis- tering justice and a mart for the sale of agricultural implements and other goods and merchandise. Many a time did George Frysinger and his fellow craftsmen of Hanover convey to Leesburg the products of their skill, and there dispose of them. Two weeks were re- quired to complete the trip. George Frysinger was a Democrat of the Thomas Jefferson school. He served as Burgess of Hanover for the year 1820. He had one son. Rev. William Frysinger, an octogenarian, now re- siding at Lewistown, Pa., and who served in the Lutheran ministry for more than half a century. "William Young, one of the councilmen for 1815, do I remember him? Yes, he was my father. In 1794 he bought the house which I now own and in which I was born in 1803. He was a saddletree maker. Do you know what that is? Well, it was quite a business in Hanover seventy years ago. There were a number of persons who plied that trade here and made money at it too. For many long years in the front room of my house where we are now sitting, from early in the morning until late in the evening, did my father steadily work at his trade. He was successful in his business and made many hun- dred saddle-trees and sold them in this vicinity and Balti- more. He was married to Catharine Etzler and had several children. He died in 1850 in the 84th year of his age. George Young, his son who was Burgess in 1838 and 42 was a prominent man of Hanover. He was the father of John S., Charles, Reuben and Miss Emily J. Young. "Daniel Barnitz was a saddler and did a prosperous business. He was a son of Daniel Barnitz, an innkeeper during the Revolution, and the first brewer in Hanover. His brewery was situated at the northeast angle of the Square. Daniel the elder, was a contemporary of Richard McAllister, the founder and in his palmy days the boss of the town. Charles Barnitz, a brother of Daniel, Jr. for a long time kept store on the Square. He was a good bass singer and led music in the church choir. There was good choir singing in those days. The same choir often sang in both the churches then in the town, as the services were held on alternate Sundays — one Sunday in the Reformed church and the next Sunday in the Lutheran church. All religious services were then required to lie held before \andle light," and we boys did not have any place to go to in the evenings, except the l)ig boys. The little fellows had to go to bed early in Ihe cxenings. They were considered by the big sis- ters as a sort of luiisance to have about, on Saturday and Sunday e\enings. "Jacob Rit/, was a master carpenter and constructed a great many houses in and around Hanover, some of which are now standing. He resided on Frederick Street during his whole life. .\t one of the early meetings of the town council, Jacob Ritz was authorized l)y that body to go to York by a 'short line' and 'take the metes and bounds of the York Market House" and also inquire into the probable cost of constructing a market house in Hanover. The market house was erected in the Square soon after at an expense of $820, and stood the wear and tear until 1872. The most remarkable feature of that market house was that the Confederate soldiers HANOVER CENTENNIAL 31 during the cavalry engagement in Hanover in 1863 took it for a bridge. The first thing that a Confederate who participated in the engagement will talk about if you meet him now, is the 'old bridge in the centre of the town into which some of the scared Johnnies and Yanks alternately hid' during the various cavalry charges through the town. One of the ex-Confederates insisted that it was a bridge, for says he, 'there must have been a stream through the town, for as we approached the centre of the town and touched the bridge I heard the frogs jump into the water.' It was a market house sure, though, because people said it was, and the frogs men- tioned must have lived in the surrounding ponds, charac- teristic of the early days of our municipal history. The market house seems to have been built by Frederick Burkman." What is given above following the taxable list of 1815, is but a small part of the information relating to Hanover in bygone days, and some facts relating to the members of the first Town Council, obtained from Judge Young during an hour's conversation. It illustrates how much interesting local history could be written from records and from the recollections of old people, — history too that ought not to be lost. Well written local histories which were published a half century or more ago, now are eagerly sought for and most of them in the second hand book stores of our large cities, bring five and even ten times their original cost, and more than some of the elegantly-bound books of the best poets. Had the writer time he would consider it a pleasure to supplement this article with others but will at present close with some facts relating to the life of Mr. Young. He was born in 1803 during the third year of Thomas Jefferson's Administration as President of the United States, four years before Robert Fulton invented the steamboat, twenty-six years before the first locomotive was used in America, and forty-one years previous to the invention of the electric telegraph. He had a dis- tinct recollection of five wars in which the United States has been engaged: the War of 1812-15, the Seminole War in Florida, the Black Hawk War, the War with Mexico, and the war for the Union. He recalls the events of the election of James Madison [1817] as fourth and fifth Presidents of the United States and in 1824 cast his first presidential vote for John Quincy Adams who was elected. In 1821 he engaged in the lumber trade in Hanover. His lumber-yard was on the south- west corner of the Square and his office was in a small building at the southeast corner of York and Broadway. At that time there were no buildings down to Gift's corner, and his lumber yard extended down to the alley. On the site of Gift's store was a small frame building in which Peter Wagoner, "Hoppen Peter" as he was called, had a barber shop. Frederick, York, Carlisle and Balti- more Streets each contained a considerable number of houses. Abbottstown Street with its long line of red FIRST BICYCLE IN HANOVER Allen H. Wentz on bicycle, Arnold Kleff on velocipede brick dwellings, beautiful yards, shaded walks all well lighted with lard lamps, was not dreamed of in 1820. In 1828 Mr. Yeung following the example of many other Hanover people went West, and located for a time in Cincinnati, a city named so by Col. Ludlow, one of the first surveyors in honor of the Society of Cin- cinnati, composed of officers of the Revolutionary War. Mr. Young arrived at that city just thirty years after it was founded and fourteen years after it was incorpo- rated, when it contained a population of less than 15,000. It is now the eighth city in the Union in order of popu- lation. He afterwards located at Middletown, Ohio, became a successful miller and farmer, and had a very prosperous career. He was a patriotic "buckeye boy" from 1828 to 1855 when he returned to the place of his nativity and has here since resided. He always took an active interest in public affairs and soon after his arrival in Ohio cast a presidential vote for Henry Clay, the great ideal stateman and candidate of the Whig party. At two subsequent presidential elections he cast a ballot for Clay for the same office, and like all other Whigs was disappointed when news of his defeat was announced. He voted for Harrison in 1840, Taylor in 1848, Gen. Scott in 1852, Fremont in 1856, Lincoln in 1860, and for Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Blaine, in order named since. He has lived to hear and read of the death of every ex-president except Washington who died in 1799 and Hayes who is still living. Since his birth the number of States has increased from 17 to 38, in 1887 and the population of the United States from 6,000,000 to nearly 60,000,000. The annual expenses of the National Government from $11,258,983 [1803] to $1,- 897,674,224 [1865] and $966,393,692 [1880], the amount of of imports and exports of the United States from $64,- 666,666, imports [1803] and $55,800,038 exports, to $560,777,776 imports [1885] and $870,093,777 exports. 00 HANOVER CENTENNIAL HANOVER OPERA HOaSE He has also lived to see the annual surplus in the Nat- ional Treasury increase from to $125,000,000, which would be enough for a Happy New Year to anybody." "Judge" Young died in 1889 at the age of 87 years. Visits of Distinguished Americans. It is an honor to Hanover that four men who rank highest in the hall of fame visited this borough. It was Benjamin Franklin, then the leader of the Pennsylvania Legislature which held its sessions in Philadelphia for many years, stopped for one night as the guest of Richard McAllister, who then owned a large log house at the northeast corner of Baltimore and Middle Streets. At that time Franklin was the leader of thought and opinion in the provincial affairs of Penn- sylvania, then owned by John, Thomas and Richard Penn, sons of the founder of the province. Franklin was on his way to Frederick, Md., for tlic ijurjjosc of holding a conference with Gencrjd Edward Briiddock, commander of the English and American forces organ- ized for the purpose of driving the French and Indians from Western Pennsylvania. A levy of two regiments from Pennsylvania, one from Maryland and two from Virginia were recruited for the purpose of aiding the British in the conquest and recovery of the territory embraced in the charter granted to William Penn in 1681. Franklin remained but one night as the guest of Mc- Allister, who eight years later, laid out the town of Hanover. He proceeded to Frederick met Braddock and entered into an agreement to secure four hundred wagors from Lancaster, York and Cumberland Counties to carry food, munitions of war and baggage for the west- ern expedition. He told Braddock that it would be necessary to employ at least four hundred men to open a road across the mountains to Fort Duquesne, now the site of Pittsburgh, and then the headquarters for the French and Indians endeavoring to hold possession of the Ohio valley against the English to which nation the American colonists then paid tribute. George Washington. In 1791 George Washington, then President of the United States, stopped for breakfast in Hanover. All that is definitely known of this visit is a brief entry that Washington made in his diary, July 2, 1791. In this diary Washington says: "I spent the night at a small tavern in Taneytown, Maryland. We started at four o'clock in the morning and arrived at Hanover within a few hours. With Major Jackson, my military sec- retary, and a train of attendants, I stopped for two hours at Hanover and took breakfast at a good inn." Tradition says he walked down Baltimore Street with Col. Richard McAllister and watched men reaping wheat. On the same day, July 2, Washington proceeded in his elegant chaise for York, Lancaster and Philadelphia. The place where he took breakfast on that visit in 1791 is known only to tradition. It has been stated that he stopped at an inn then situated on the Northwest cor- ner of Center Square. Washington, on his second visit in 1794, stopped for the night at a hotel then situated on the site of Dr. Meis- enhelder's residence on Frederick Street. He was on his way from Bedford, Pa., to Philadelphia then the capital of the United States. Washington also records in his diary : "Hanover, often called McAllister's town contains many log houses and some brick buildings, presenting an attractive ap- pearance. There are a large number of mechanics, shoemakers and other tradesmen who follow their oc- cu|)ation with success in tlie town of Hanover. The language spoken is largely German, but I found that McAllister who conhnanded the regiment in the Flying Canij) at Trenton and Princeton as well as around New York City was a Scotchman by birth, and could not speak a word of German. There are two churches in the village, namely : a German Calvanist [Reformed] and also a (Jerman Lutheran Church. The Catholics own a house of wt)rship a short distance Northwest of the Town." The cliurch last named is locally known as Conewago Chapel, but by order of the diocese of Harris- burg was christened The Church of the Sacred Heart. Abraham Lincoln. The third of the quartet of great men who came to Hanover was Abraham Lincoln, in November 18, 1863. He was then on his way to Gettysburg to take part in HANOVER CENTENNIAL 23 the Consecration Services originated by the State of Pennsylvania for the purpose of paying a tribute to the dead soldiers who had given up their lives for their country in the battle which took place in and around that borough July 1, 2, and 3, 1863, when the Confederate forces under Lee were defeated by Meade and driven back to Virginia. Lincoln had spent the time between Hanover Junction and Hanover in revising his speech to be delivered the next day at Gettysburg. He sat in a seat alone while on this trip. In front of him was Edward McPherson with a companion, and behind him on another seat Secretary of State Seward sat. In answer to calls from the large number of people who gathered at the Hanover station, Lincoln refused to appear on the platform to address the people. Short- ly before the train pulled out Rev. M. J. Alleman, pastor of St. Matthew's Lutheran church called out in loud tones : "Father Abraham, your children want to see you. Will you come to the rear platform of the car?" A minute later the tall form of Abraham Lincoln passed out of the door of the rear car. He was six feet, three inches high, and as he wore a high silk hat, Lincoln was compelled to remove it before he could appear on the platform. After talking about two minutes to the as- sembled crowd the engineer had changed locomotives opened the stop-cock, turned on the steam and without any knowledge that the president was making a speech his train pulled out for Gettysburg. The only words recalled by persons who were witnesses to this incident was the fact that Lincoln referred to the cavahy en- gagement which had taken place in and around Hanover July 30, 1863, the day before the battle of Gettysburg opened. With unbared head Lincoln said in amusing tones : "I trust when the enemy was here the citizens of Hanover were loyal to our country and the stars and stripes." Meantime the train pulled out and the presidential party moved toward Gettysburg where Lincoln im- mortalized himself in a speech which lasted only four minutes, but will be remembered and quoted as long as the Republic of the United States exists. Ulysses S. Grant. The fourth of the quartet of great Americans who stopped at Hanover was General U. S. Grant in 1868, during the first year of his presidency. He was then on his way to Gettysburg for the first time in his life. No provision was made for him to stop at Hanover, but owing to the defect in the engine a new one was attached to the train and the president remained for a period of fifteen minutes sitting in the center of the car. Few people knew of his presence at Hanover. Grant was accompanied by a part of his Cabinet. The only re- marks that he is known to have made was a reference to the cavalry duel at Hanover: "So far as I know Kil- patrick, commanding the third division of Meade's HANOVER POST OFFICE Cavalry Corps displayed military genius in the contest at Hanover. He was supported by such able men as George A. Custer and E. J. Farnsworth, two of the best brigade commanders of the Civil War. Sad to relate Farnsworth lost his life while gallantly leading his men the third day of the battle at Gettysburg. Kilpatrick won fame and distinction under Sheridan in front of Richmond and as the leader of the Cavalry Corps in Sherman's triumphant march from Atlanta to the Sea, in 1864. I cannot speak in too high terms of the mili- tary genius of Custer in the many engagements in which he took part in the army of the Potomac. Custer was rated by Sheridan as one of the most capable cavalry leaders of the Potomac Army." It should be remembered that while the battle of Gettysburg was in progress Grant was negotiating for the surrender of thirty-five thousand Confederates, the same number of muskets and rifles and sixty cannons at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Mrs. Martha Washington. In February, 1778, Mrs. Martha Washington while returning from Valley Forge, where her husband was commanding the American troops, stopped one night at the public inn in Hanover.- She ordered supper, and while the meal was being prepared several young women of the town called to see her and pay their respects to the wife of the Commander-in-Chief. The tradition of this visit came to the writer from Mrs. Agnes Spangler, of Baltimore Street, whose grandmother was one of the ladies who called upon Martha Washington, while on her way to Mount Vernon in Virginia, after spending the v.'inter of 1777-78 with the American troops under Washington at Valley Forge. The account of Mrs. Washington's visit to Hanover was also told to the writer by Mrs. Daniel F. Stair, who early in life came to Hanover from York where she was a prominent teacher in the public schools. The facts given by Mrs. Stair were furnished her by the oldest lli assisted in the capture of Fort Fisher guarding (lie enlrance lo Wihnington, N. C. This regiment was mustered out of service at Ilarrisburg, July 23, 1865, iifler serxiug a term of four and one-half years. Com- ])any I, organized by Captain Diller, when he was pro- moted, was placed in charge of his brother, Captain William S. Diller. The last soldier to command this company, was Captain Charles L. Bittinger who re- cently died in Florida. Invasion of 1862. In the summer of 1862 the people of Hanover, for the first time, feared the approach of the Confederate army within the limits of southern Pemisylvania. HANOVER CENTENNIAL Lee moved northward with a large force and defeated Pope, commander of the army of the Potomac, on the plains of Manassas, a short distance southwest of Wash- ington, known as the second battle of Bull Run, and was one of the most disastrous defeats of the Union army in the Civil War. Flushed with his victories, General Lee planned an invasion into Maryland and Pennsylvania and began to move northward early in September. This movement is known to history as the first northern invasion by the Confederate army, then numbering about 65,000 well-disciplined men. Western Maryland and the counties of southern Pennsylvania became alarmed at this condition of affairs. Lee had taken the offensive and had determined to march into his enemy's country. It then looked as though the theatre of war was to be transferred to northern soil. President Lincoln issued a call for 300,000 volunteers for the purpose of defeating the progress of an invading foe. These troops were to serve for a period of nine months. Soon after these stirring events the patriotic song, "We are Coming Father Abraham, Three Hundred Thousand More," was sung in every military camp of Union soldiers, in every town and city and all centres of population throughout the loyal north. Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, issued a call for troops and within a short time sixteen regiments of infantry from the One Hundred and Twenty-second to the One Hundred and Thirty-eighth, in all 14,000 men, enlisted for the defense of their country. Captain Joseph S. Jenkins, who had served with dis- tinction in the three months' service, recruited a com- pany at Hanover for the One Hundred Thirtieth Regi- ment. Six weeks after the organization of this regiment they took part in the battle of Antietam near Hagers- town, Maryland, where he was severely wounded, and several of his men killed, wounded, or captured. The entire regiment lost thirty-two men killed and one hun- dred and thirty-two wounded. The One Hundred and Thirtieth on December 12th took part in the battle of Fredericksburg, where its commander. Colonel Zinn, of Mechanicsburg was killed. In May the regiment took part in the battle of Chancellorsville under the leader - ship of Colonel Levi Maish of York who had been wounded at the battle of Antietam. Both Colonel Maish and Captain Jenkins were again wounded at Chancellorsville, a few days before their term of ser - vice ended. Later in the war Joseph S. Jenkins was killed in front of Petersburg when Major of the One Hundred and Eighty-Fourth. Excitement at Hanover. In its issue of September 12, 1862, the Hanover Spectator says : "The anxiety for war news in this borough during the past week has been without a parallel. Crowds of people collected in the streets and in the workshops. The in- vasion of Maryland was on every tongue. The meagre accounts of the newspapers only sharpened the appetite for more news. On Sunday, the excitement reached its culmination. What before were nothing more than vague rumors assumed a condition of stern reality. A crisis was upon us. From early dawn, refugees from Frederick and Carroll Counties, Maryland, came pouring into town, some on horseback, others in carriages and wagons, each and all declaring that the enemy had crossed the Potomac and that Stonewall Jackson was in Frederick. Upon every fresh arrival, crowds collected around the carriages and wagons to hear the stories that each new- comer would relate." Antietam, which is often mentioned as the hardest one day's battle fought during the Civil War, ended in a triumph for the Union cause. The booming of cannon was heard in Hanover. McClellan, as commander of the Potomac Army won a high reputation for his ability in that engagement. Although it is sometimes called a drawn battle, Lee and Jackson left the field and fell back to Virginia. The ex- citement in Pennsylvania subsided and the people of Hanover and vicinity then felt assured that the seat of war would not be transferred to the Keystone State. Invasion of 1863. After Lee had defeated the Potomac Army under Hooke; at Chancellorsville he was urged by the Con- federate Government, against his own judgment, to make a second northern invasion into Pennsylvania. He defeated the Eighth Army Corps near Winchester and moved forward to Chambersburg. On July 1-2-3 the famous battle of Gettysburg was fought between the two contending armies under Meade and Lee. It re- sulted in the defeat of the Confederate forces in the most decisive battle of the Civil War. Lee again returned to Virginia. The war, however, did not end even though Lincoln was willing to pay the southern planters the full value for their slaves. On June 26th, 1863, the Twenty-sixth Regiment of Pennsylvania Emergency Men really opened the Battle of Gettysburg. This Regiment was commanded by Colonel Jennings of Harrisburg who was sent by Major Haller commanding the post at Gettysburg to move westward toward Fairfield as a reconnoitering party. A dense fog prevented the officers and men from ob- serving the approach of Early's division leading the advance of Lee's army on his way to York. The Twenty- sixth opened fire upon the enemy but when it was seen that ten thousand southern veterans were in front of them the regiment fell back through Hunterstown and Dillsburg to Harrisburg. A full company of one hundred men from Hanover and vicinity, commanded by Cap- tain Forrest, belonged to the Twenty-sixth Regiment. 28 HANOVER CENTENNIAL In 1863, soon after Lee defeated Hooker at the battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia, the Confederate govern- ment at Richmond decided that the army of northern Virginia should go northward through Maryland and Pennsylvania. That was probably the darkest period in the history of the Civil War and many people in Hanover as well as over the Northern States could not decide in their own minds how the Civil War would end. Many believed that it would result in a division of our Country into two nations — one free and the other slave. It is claimed by the closest friends of General Robert E. Lee that he was not in favor of moving into Pennsyl- vania, but in obedience to orders early in June he be- gan to move northward into the Shenandoah Valley defeating the Union forces in and around Winchester, June 15, 1863. Lee then ordered Ewell's corps to move down the Cumberland Valley for the purpose of cap- turing Harrisburg. He took possession of Carlisle but remained there less than two days. Meantime Ewell sent out scouting parties to find out the condition of affairs in the Keystone State. When Ewell had arrived at Chambersburg he ordered Jubal Early, commanding a division of 10,000 Confederate troops to move east- ward over the turnpike to Gettysburg. Early encamped for the night of June 26 and camped for the night at Mummasburg, a few miles northwest of Gettysburg. On the following day entered Gettysburg and while on horse-back wrote with his own hand a levy upon the town demanding that the money be forthcoming with- in a few hours. In the afternoon of June 26th, White's cavalry at- tacked the 26th Regiment of Pennsylvania emergency men. The atmosphere was filled with a dense fog and a small detachment of Union troops guarding the town of Gettys- burg did not know that Early and 10,000 trained veterans of the South were on their march eastward. Gettysburg not being able to promptly pay the demands of Early he moved toward York, where he arrived on Sunday morning, June 28, just as the bells were ringing for church services. Colonel White at Hanover. On the morning of June 27, when Early took up tlio march from Gettysburg toward York, he detiichod from his command the Thirty-fifth battalion of Virginia Cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant C'oloticl E. V. White. Early moved with his division toward York through East Berlin, while Gordon, with one brigade passed through Abbottstown over the turnpike. Colonel White and his troopers had performed scouting service in the Mountains of West Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley during the preceding year. He had received orders to make a dashing raid to Hanover Junction for the purpose of cutting the telegraph wires and burning the railroad bridges at that place and between there and York. This was to be done in order to cut off communi- cation between Harrisburg and Washington. Colonel White left Gettysburg early in the morning and entered McSherrystown about 10 o'clock. Here they halted for a short time in order to find out, if possible, if there were any Federal troops in and around Hanover. Owing to the conflicting rumors that had been cir- culated, the citizens of Hanover could not definitely ascertain the movements of the enemy. So they were held in suspense until a farmer rode into town calling out: "The enemy will soon be here. They are now in McSherrystown . ' ' A few minutes later the advance turned into Carlisle Street and began to move toward Center Square. Three or four mounted men preceded the rest and a few hun- dred yards back came the entire battalion of Confederates riding four abreast. Their object was to ascertain if there were any Union soldiers in the town. So they moved slowly up Carlisle Street, nearly every man with his finger on the trigger of his carbine, ready for any emergency. In the center of the column rode Col. White, a large man of ruddy complexion. Most of the women and children remained in their homes, and looked at the moving enemy through the blinds at the windows. There was no organized resistance to the advancing Confederates and there was no formal surrender of the town by the borough authorities. After placing guards at the ends of all the streets, the entire battalion as- sembled in Center Square. Colonel White rode in front of the Central Hotel where he addressed a large crowd of male citizens. He stated that although his soldiers wore faded suits of gray, they were gentlemen fighting for a cause they thought to be right, but would harm no one. Most of the soldiers then dismounted and went iuto the different stores to obtain shoes and such clothing as might be of service to them. Some of the stores were robbed of a few articles but the soldiers did not obtain much clothing, because all wearing apparel and valu- ables had been concealed or taken away. After remain- ing in the town about an hour, the troopers dashed out York Street toward Jeft'erson and reached Hanover Junction about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. MeantiuK' a small squad had been sent along the line of the railroad between Hanover and Hanover Junction and (k'slroyed bridges. Colonel White's battalion reach- ed tlic Northern Central Railroad at Hanover Junction early in the afternoon and immediately put the torch to the bridges and cut the telegraph wires. During the two days before. Governor Curtin at Harrisburg had been keeping President Lincoln at Washington posted concerning the enemy's movements as nearly as they could be ascertained from couriers who had been sent out from the state capital. Late in the afternoon of June 27, White's Confed- erates moved back to Jefferson, then northward to the vicinity of Spring Grove. They encamped for the night HANOVER CENTEXNIAL 29 on the farm of John Wiest, near the village of Nash- ville. At this point, Colonel White put himself in com- munication with General Gordon who had bivouacked for the night at Farmers' Postoffice, a few miles north- west on the Gettysburg turnpike. The following day, he accompanied General Gordon on his march toward Wrightsville, then returned to a position two miles east of York, and encamped the succeeding two days on the farm of John H. Small, meantime destroying the rail- road bridges on the line between York and Wrightsville. Battle of Hanover. The Battle of Hanover will always be memorable in the annals of the Civil War. There had been slight skirmishes during the invasion of 1863 in York, Cum- berland and Franklin Counties, between small detach- ments, before the engagement at Hanover, where on the morning of June 30, about 10,000 men on both sides were in hostile array. Like many other severe conflicts of the Civil War, this affair occurred by accident. It was not a battle for which plans had been made by the leaders of the opposing forces. Neither General Stuart, commanding three brigades of Lee's Confederate cav- alry corps, moving northward on the right of the Army of the Potomac, nor General Kilpatrick, commanding the Third Division of the Union cavalry corps, knew the exact position of the enemy, twenty-four hours before the engagement opened. In the disposition of the troops by General Meade at Frederick, on the morning of June 29, General Gregg in command of the Second Division of cavalry, 4,000 men, was sent through West- minster and Manchester to guard the extreme right of the Potomac army and save Washington from the raids of the enemy. Buford with the First Division, 4,000 men, was dispatched across the ridge and took position on the plains around Gettysburg on the morning of June 30. General Judson Kilpatrick two days before had been raised to the rank of brigadier general and was placed in command of the Third Division, composed of two brigades. He was assigned the important duty of moving forward through Taneytown to Hanover, for the purpose of reconnoitering the position, and ascer- tain the movements of General Early, who with a divi- sion of 9,000 men, had occupied York on the morning of June 28. Heard of Kilpatrick. The position of Stuart's cavalry at this time was not definitely known by Meade, with his headquarters at Frederick. Kilpatrick moved forward to Littlestown, where he bivouacked for the night of June 29. Stuart, having crossed the Potomac at Rowser's Ford, about twenty miles northwest of Washington, with three brigades, had moved northward through Westminster. The head of his column had encamped for the night of MAJOR-GENERAL JUDSON KILPATRICK June 29, at LTnion Mills, only seven miles south of Littlestown. The Confederate scouts had learned of Kilpatrick's presence at Littlestown, but the latter, although always on the alert for news, and one of the most intrepid cavalry officers of the Civil War, had failed to discover that the Confederate army was at Union Mills, when he took up the march at daybreak on June 30, from Littlestown toward Hanover. Chambliss' brigade led the advance from Union Mills, nine miles southwest of Hanover, and a detach- ment of it had scoured the country during the night, reaching a point within five miles of Hanover. Kil- patrick's division moved toward Hanover in the fol- lowing order : Kilpatrick with his staff and body guard, a detachment from the First Ohio; Custer with the First, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Michigan Regiments; Pennington's battery; Farnsworth with the First Ver- mont, First West Virginia and Fifth New York; Elder's battery; the ambulance wagons, horses and pack mules. The Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel William P. Brinton, brought up the rear and was the last to leave Littlestown. This regiment had been in service only a few weeks and had never previously engaged in battle, yet it was assigned the duty of guarding and protecting the wagon train immediately in front of it. Captain H. C. Potter, with a detachment of forty men, twenty each from Companies L and M of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania, was ordered to form the rear guard. He 30 HANOVER CENTENNIAL GEN. E. J. FARNSWORTH overtook Captain Freeland of the Eighteenth Penn- sylvania with a small squad, which had been acting as a scouting party, to scour the country and see if there were any Confederates coming from the south. Free- land and his men a few miles west of Hanover, moved over to the right, where they came in contact with a small band of Confederates. Shots were exchanged and one Confederate soldier was killed, at Gift's mill, about three miles southwest of the town. He was the first victim of the engagement. About the same time. Cap- tain Potter and his men came into contact with a Con- federate scouting party about three miles west of Han- over on the Littlestown road. A sharp conflict ensued but no one was wounded. Lieutenant T. P Shield of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania, with twenty-five picked men guarding the flank, was surprised and c-aplirrcd by the Thirteenth Virginia cavalry, formerly coninumded by Colonel Chambliss, who at this tiinc had succeeded W. F. H. Lee in command of the brigade which was leading the march toward Hanover. This brigade was composed of the Second North Carolina, Ninth, 'i'cntli and Thirteenth Virginia Regiments, in all about 1500 men. Kilpatrick Enters Hanover. At 8 o'clock on the morning of June 30, General Kilpatrick, riding with his staff at the head of his column, entered Hanover. Closely following hira, in uniform of velvet and with flowing curls, rode the tall and handsome form of General Custer, who, at the age of twenty-three years, commanded a Michigan brigade, four regiments. These Union soldiers had been on a continuous march of nearly three weeks and were tired and worn out. Kilpatrick in company with Custer entered the resi- dence of Jacob Wirt, on Frederick Street, and while in conversation with Rev. W. K. Zieber, pastor of Emmanuel Reformed Church, said that his men needed food to refresh them on their march. As soon as the announce- ment was made to the citizens who then filled the streets and the sidewalks, they repaired to their homes and brought coffee, bread and meat to the veteran soldiers who received the provisions on horseback. After rest- ing for a short time, regiment after regiment of Custer's brigade moved out the turnpike toward Abbottstown. An hour had passed by before the Michigan brigade had left the borough on its way toward York. Then, came General Farnsworth, surrounded by his staff, and passed through Center Square. His regiments, too were bountifully fed. The First Vermont and the First West Virginia regiments had passed through the town by 10 A. M. The Fifth New York, partly dis- mounted, were resting in a line extending from Fred- erick Street, through Centre Square and a short dis- tance down Abbottstown Street. They were then being fed by the patriotic citizens. Meantime the detach- ments of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania under Captains Potter and Freeland, had the experience related above, with the enemy west of Hanover. The Confederate Attack. The brigade of Confederates under Chambliss had appeared on elevated ground on both sides of the West- minster road, a short distance southwest of Pennville. At the same time, they planted two cannons on the Samuel Keller farm, near Plum Creek, and two on the Jesse Rice farm, along the Westminster road. The Thirteenth Virginia cavalry began the attack on the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Regiment, then passing through Pennville with its line extending from Plum Creek to the edge of Hanover. They made a stubborn resistance, but owing to the sudden attack, were driven slightly back. General Stuart, who himself was within a mile of TLmoxer, called Colonel W. H. Payne, commanding the Second North Carolina Regiment, known as the "Hlack Morse Cavalry," to charge the rear of Farns- wortlTs brigndo. This regiment contained nearly 500 men who had participated in many battles in Virginia. Colonel Payne leading part of the regiment, dashed down the Westminster road and came in contact with the Eighteenth Pennsylvania at the eastern edge of Penn- ville, where the Westminster road joins the Littlestown turnpike. Meantime one battalion of the North Carolina troop- ers crossed through the fields south of the Littlestown turnpike and struck the flank of the Federal troops, coming in to Frederick Street through the alleys. The Eighteenth Pennsylvania had been cut in two. Part HANOVER CENTENNIAL SI of it was to the rear in Pennville, and these men re- treated across the fields toward McSherrystown. The advance of the regiment dashed pell-mell up Frederick Street, through Centre Square, and out Abbottstown Street to the railroad, closely followed by the enemy. For a short time the town of Hanover was in possession of the Confederates. When the fight opened, General Farnsworth was at the head of his brigade near the village of New Baltimore. He quickly ordered the First West Virginia and the First Vermont to fall back to the left and take position southeast of town in line of battle. Driven Out of Town. Major Hammond, commanding the Fifth New York, had already re-formed his regiment on the Public Com- mon and on Abbottstown Street. With drawn sabres and a terrifiic yell, this regiment drove the enemy out of town. General Farnsworth arrived at the scene of action and directed the movements of the Fifth New York. The North Carolina troopers had captured the ambulance wagons and were driving them out the Littlestown pike toward Pennville. There were hand to hand encounters on Abbottstown Street, in various parts of the town and in Centre Square, where five horses and two or three men were killed. A spirited contest took place in a field to the rear of the Methodist Church, and on Frederick Street, a short distance west of the church, where adju- tant Gall, of the Fifth New York, was killed. This contest was continued out the Littlestown road between the Forney farm and Pennville, and about two hundred yards on the Westminster road. It was along this line, amid much confusion, that a hand to hand encounter took place in which the mounted men on both sides used sabres, carbines or pistols. Captain Cabel, a member of Stuart's staff and in 1906 principal of a military academy at Staunton, Va., was cut in the head with a sabre in front of the Forney house and remained insensible for about six hours. Twenty-seven horses and about a dozen men lay dead on the road after the contest had ended. Colonel Payne a Prisoner. Major White, of the Fifth New York, was seriously wounded near the junction of the Westminster and Littlestown roads, and Thomas Burke, of the Fifth New York, captured a battle flag from the enemy. Upon the retreat. Colonel Payne was shghtly wounded and had a horse shot under him in front of the Wine- brenner tannery. He concealed himself in a shed until there was a lull in the fight and then became a prisoner of war. Custer Hears the Guns. When the first gun was fired at Hanover about 10:30 A. M., Kilpatrick was riding at the head of his column, GEN. G. A. CUSTER and had passed through Abbottstown moving on the turnpike toward York. He had just received a message from General Pleasanton, at Taneytown, through a courier, who had passed north of Hanover, notifying him that he might soon be attacked by Stuart's cavalry. This was the first intimation Kilpatrick had of the approach of the enemy. As soon as the roar of the guns was heard. General Custer reformed his regiments of the Michigan brigade and ordered a countermarch to- ward the scene of action. Kilpatrick 's Ride. Kilpatrick rode rapidly along the line over the turn- pike, till he reached the summit of the Pigeon Hills. Here he left the pike, put spurs to his horse, and dashed through fields of wheat and corn. The horse that carried the gallant rider to the town of Hanover died a few hours later. Kilpatrick arrived in Centre Square about the time the contest out the Westminster road had been brought to a conclusion and the enemy had been driven to their guns. He took up his headquarters in room No. 24 in the Central Hotel. There was now a lull in the combat, and the enemy were in position on a ridge extending from the Keller farm to the rear of Pennville across Mount Olivet cemetery. They held an impregnable position — one difficult for a cavalry force to attack, because four guns had been planted to their front. 32 HANOVER CENTENNIAL THE MARKET HOUSE AND CORNER SQUARE AND FREDERICK STREET, 1S63. W'lndovvs marked X shows headquarters of Gen. Kilpatrick du.-ing part of battle. Fitzhugh Lee Arrives. During the contest Fitzhugh Lee, who had moved toward Hanover north of the Westminster road, arrived and took position about one mile west of the town in a woods and along a gentle elevation in the fields, and here planted four guns ready for action. His brigade was composed of the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth \'irginia cavalry regiments, numbering in all about 2200 men. The Vjorough of Hanover w:is then entirely in possession of the L'nion forces. (icueral Farnsworth ascended lo the roof of Thoimis Wirt's residence, later owned ))y William Houdenhamcr, in Center Square, and with a field ghiss aseerlainec' I lie position of the enemy. Meantime (ieiieral Cusler with his entire brigade of four regiments had formed in line of battle between the AbboUslown turnpike and Ihe York road with the First \'ermont and First ^'irgini■, regiments to his front. After the arrival of Lee, Kil- patrick ordered Custer to move his l)riga(ie over to the right. The First Michigan cavalry was put in line to support Pennington's battery of horse artillery, six guns, which had been stationed on Bunker Hill west of the Carlisle turnpike. Elder's battery of six guns, also horse artillery, had been j)lanted on Bunker Hill, east of the Carlisle pike and to the rear of the Eiehelberger High School Building. It was nearly 2 o'clock in the afternoon when Wade Hampton arrived with the long train of 125 captured wagons. About two miles south- west of Hanover this wagon train was parked in the form of a square and heavily guarded. It was this wagon train that had caused the battle. Stuart had determined to protect it. If there was danger of recapture he would order it burned. He moved Hampton over to the ex- treme right. This lirigade composed of the First North ('arolina. First and Second South Carolina, Cobb's (leorgia Legion. Philip's Georgia Legion and a battery, in all about 2500 men, wore placed in line of battle from Mount Olivet Cemetery across the Baltimore liirn|)ike lo a short distance north of the York road. Ho |)laiilo(l his battery of four guns on the Baltimore ]}'\kr near the cemetery. They were supported by Cobb's Legion which had previously done gallant service in many battles. Streets Barricaded. As soon as the Confederates had been driven out of town, Baltimore, York and Frederick Streets were liarricaded by the soldiers and citizens. Store boxes, wagons, hay ladders, fence rails, barrels, bar iron and anything that would prevent the enemy from dashing HANOVER CENTENNIAL 33 into town were placed across the streets. When the engagement first opened Confederate shells and balls had been fired over the town. The Artillery Duel. As soon as Pennington's and Elder's Union batteries were placed in position an artillery duel was opened. This was continued for nearly two hours. Some of the shells fell in town. Early in the contest a ten-pound shell struck the residence of Henry Winebrenner on Frederick Street. It penetrated a door on the balcony, shattered a bureau inside and passed through the floor into the cellar where the family had gone to a place of safety. This shell like many others fired by the Con- federates did not explode. Both the shell and bureau have since been preserved as interesting mementoes of this thrilling time, by Miss Martha Winebrenner, who was present in the cellar when the shell struck their house. A Noted Conference. During the lull in the contest Lieutenant Colonel Payne, as a prisoner, was taken to the headquarters of General Kilpatrick at the Central Hotel. Both Farns- worth and Custer were present at this conference. After Colonel Payne had been wounded in front of the Wine- brenner tannery at the edge of Frederick Street and his horse shot under him, he bounded a fence into the tan- yard. While trying to escape to a building he fell into a tan-vat which discolored his Confederate uniform. He was helped out of his position by a sergeant of the Fifth New York. In this sad plight he appeared be- fore General Kilpatrick and his two brigadiers. Payne knew the tired condition of his fellow soldiers who had been marching for nearly two weeks without rest and tried to impress General Kilpatrick that more than 12,000 men, Stuart's entire force, were stationed a short distance southwest of Hanover. He did this, as he said at his home in Washington in 1900, to pre- vent any further attack. After Custer had moved over to the right of the Union line he ordered the Sixth Michigan Regiment, armed with Spencer repeating rifles, to dismount. This regi- ment had nearly 600 men who formed in line and pre- pared for a charge. About 100 men took care of the horses which were arranged in line northward from the front of St. Matthew's Church, upon whose steeple Kilpatrick had gone a short time before to take observa- tion and try to ascertain the disposition of the Con- federate troops and their number. About the same time Farnsworth ordered the Fifth New York, which had been supporting Elder's Battery, in line of battle across Centre Square and down Baltimore Street. The First West Virginia was drawn up in line out Baltimore Street. The First Vermont was kept as a reserve on the Public Common. MAJOR-GENERAL J. E. B. STUART A Lull in the Contest. The artillery duel between the twelve guns of Pen- nington's and Elder's batteries on Bunker Hill, and the twelve guns of the Confederates on the ridge south of town, had ceased. There was another lull in the fight. It was now 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Kilpatrick seated in his room at the hotel wrote a message describing the engagement, and quickly sent it to Pleasanton at Taney- town, Md. What might follow was still a conundrum. The Union commander knew nothing of the long wagon train about three miles southwest of Hanover, parked for the purpose of being destroyed by fire, in case Kil- patrick had gained the advantage in the fight. The gallant Farnsworth had already won the victory, and Custer with a battle line one mile in length, was behind the guns on Bunker Hill. He was ready for the fray. About this time, mounted regiments of the Confed- erates had repeatedly moved down the slope of the hill, feigning an attack and then returned to their positions. The Sixth Michigan already dismounted, marched to- ward the Littlestown turnpike in a battle line extending from the edge of town to Pennville, crossed the pike and crept on their hands and knees up the slope in the Forney field, and fired with their repeating rifles upon the enemy, three hundred yards away. The right of the line had been flanked and fifteen men of this regi- ment became prisoners of war. It then fell back and repeated the same movement to be ready for any attack of the Confederates. By this movement of Custer to 34 HANOVER CENTENNIAL GEN. FITZHUGH LEE the north of Hanover, Kilpatrick had opened communi- cations with the Twelfth Army Corps resting at Littles- town and a short distance westward. His courier could now convey his dispatch to Taney town. Lee Guards Wagon Train. The attitude of Stuart during the whole afternoon, when the Union troops were maneuvering for advanta- geous positions, was to prevent a reopening of the fight and to protect the wagon train with its valuable muni- tions of war. As the Twelfth Army Corps was only a short distance to the rear of Fitzhugh Lee's brigade, Stuart ordered the latter to move southward, take charge of the wagon train and proceed with all possible speed toward Jefferson. The figlit had now ended but the brigades of Chambliss and Hampton remained in position until the sun had sunk behind the western horizon and the shades of evening had bognn to fall. They followed the wagon train toward JcflVrson. The local incidents of this movement will be found in the Confederate reports. General Stuart's men had captured 385 horses in Codorus township and by the time they reached Dillsburg they were in possession of 1000 York County horses which they rode into the battle of Gettysburg. At the time the engagement opened, Meade in com- mand of the Army of the Potomac, had his headquarters at Taneytown, Maryland, where he was laying plans for the impending battle with Lee. General Pleasanton in command of all the cavalry of the Potomac Army, remained with Meade at TaneytOwn, during the after- noon of June 30 and July 1, Lieutenant Colonel Alex- ander, assistant adjutant general of Pleasanton's cavalry, had been moved forward to Littlestown, seven miles west of Hanover. From this point, he sent out couriers to notify the head of the army and General Pleasantor, of all the movements of the contending forces in the vicinity of Hanover and York. General Farnsworth, whom Kilpatrick credits with having saved the day at Hanover, was killed on the extreme left of the Union line at Gettysburg, on July 3. No official report of his brigade appears in the government records. Thrilling Incidents. There were numerous thrilling events and hand to hand encounters in single combat on the streets and in the suburbs of the town during the battle. Sergeant Peale, of the Second North Carolina, was wounded in Centre Square and his horse shot under him. When he fell to the pavement his skull was injured. While in a dazed condition he was tenderly cared for by Rev. W. K. Zieber. Later he was removed to a hospital where the last rites of the Catholic church were administered by the parish priest. His remains were buried in the church yard adjoining Conewago Chapel. The soldier who had been killed early in the morning at Gitt's mill was buried nearby. Six years later his brother came from the south, took up the remains and conveyed them to Virginia. After the contest had ended there were four wounded men lying along the roadside near the home of Karl Forney. One of these was a Union soldier, the others Confederates. When Samuel Reddick, a North Carolina sergeant, was about to breathe his last, he gave his new testament to a daughter of Mr. Forney. She communicated with his sister, who afterwards sent for the remains of her brother. His body and that of the rest which had been buried along the roadside on the Forney farm were also removed to the south. Henry Holman, of the First West Virginia, had been seriously wounded when his regiment moved on the enemy west of ]?altimore Street. He was brought to the house of Mrs. .Vgnos Si)angler and his wounds were dressed by Dr. Culbertson on the porch. Holman had been a clown in a circus before the war, and a friend and neighbor of Sergeant Collins of the same regiment, who was mortally wounded and had his horse killed on Balti- more Street near Centre Square. Collins was taken into the home of George W. Welsh and afterwards removed to the hospital on York Street where he died. His leg had nearly been severed from his body by a globular shell fired from one of Hampton's guns on the turnpike near Mount Olivet cemetery. About this time a conical shell passed over the square and severed a limb from the tree which stood in front of HANOVER CENTENNIAL 35 the residence of Henry Wirt on Carlisle Street. Another shell struck the residence of Conrad Moul, on Abbotts- town Street. In a hand to hand encounter on the same street near Broadway a Union soldier, refusing to sur- render, was shot by his antagonist and died on the spot. A thrilling encounter took place between two men a short distance farther up Abbottstown Street, and at the same instant three men met in mortal combat in the alley adjoining the public school building. One of the saddest incidents of the day was the un- timely death of CorporalJohnHoffacker of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Regiment. He was shot and instantly killed while riding through town when his regiment met the first charge of the enemy. He was a manly fellow and universally popular with his' comrades. He died while defending his country and flag almost within sight of his birthplace. Only two months before he had left his home in West Manheim Township near the Maryland line, to enlist in the army. His remains lie buried with other soldiers in Mount Olivet cemetery. During the lull in the contest of the afternoon, pa- triotic citizens carried the woimded into their houses, where they were tenderly cared for. Corporal James McGinley, of the Fifth New York, was seriously wound- ed and taken to the home of Henry Long on Frederick Street, where he remained for ten days or more. He then returned to his home. Forty-two years passed by, when Corporal McGinley returned again to Hanover, where he met the family of Mr. I-ong, who was living at the age of 86 years. U. S. HospitaL Concert Hall, in Centre Square, and a small building to the rear of York Street, used by the Marion Rifles at the opening of the war, were turned into hospitals. One of the rooms of Flickinger's foundry on York Street, was used for the same purpose. Before the sun had set, sixty or more wounded soldiers were being cared for by the local physicians, Doctors Smith, Hinkle, Culbert- son, Eckert and AUeman. A few days later a United States Hospital was opened by authority of the govern- ment. What was then known as Pleasant Hill Hotel on Baltimore Street and used for a private academy, was rented by the government and all the wounded soldiers transferred to this place. About 12,000 wounded men from Gettysburg had been conveyed through Hanover in trains to hospitals at Baltimore, York, Philadelphia and Harrisburg. About 150 were kept at Hanover. Dr. Gardner, an army surgeon, was placed in charge of the hospital. It was kept open from July 10 until August 15. In reporting the condition of the hospital, on August 1, Surgeon Gardner said : "Every desired com- fort is furnished in great abundance, and every luxury, with which this country abounds in great profusion, is supplied by sympathetic people, and administered to the suffering wounded by devoted women. A heartier GEN. WADE HAMPTON response to the calls of humanity, never came from a more generous people than we have witnessed here." Sergeant J. S. Trowbridge, of the Fifth New York, whose leg was amputated, died at the hospital on July 4. Eber F. Cady, of Company B, Eighteenth Pennsyl- vania, died August 4, a few hours after his sister had arrived at his bedside. Generous citizens had the body embalmed and it was sent home for interment. A private named Cowell, under arrest for desertion, escaped from the guard on Carlisle Street, and ran down Chestnut Street. Refusing to stop, the guard fired, the bullet striking him in the heel and coming out at the knee. Cowell died at the hospital a few days later. Losses at Hanover. In his report to General Lee, Stuart made no mention of his losses at Hanover. General Kilpatrick reported that about fifteen Confederates were killed, and forty- seven captured, including Colonel Payne and one captain. His loss he reported as eleven killed and a number wounded. General Custer's report says the First, Fifth and Seventh Michigan suffered no loss, but the Sixth had fifteen men captured . The list of dead shows one killed in the First Michigan. Battery M, Second United States Artillery, had one man mortally wounded. Major W. B. Darlington reported that the loss in the Eighteenth Pennsylvania was four killed, twenty-seven wounded and fifty missing. 36 HANOVER CENTENNIAL Major John Hammond, of the Fifth New York, re- ported two officers and two men killed, twenty-five wounded and ten missing. The first Vermont, Colonel A. W. Preston, lost one killed and sixteen missing. The commander of the First West Virginia did not specify the loss in his regi- ment [known to have been one killed and at least five wounded,] but summarized the loss of Farnsworth's First Brigade as ten killed and sixty-two wounded, be- sides many slightly injured. Of the wounded, two died at the hospital, making the Union death roll number thirteen. The surgeon in charge of the Hanover hospital of the Army of the Potomac made the following official re- port to the government of the engagement at Hanover : Union Soldiers Killed in the Battle of Hanover.

The bodies of the Union soldiers, who were killed in the engagement, were conveyed to an apartment in the Flickinger Foundry on York Street, now the site of Trinity Reformed Church, where they were prepared for burial. Henry Wirt, a leading citizen of the town, ordered caskets made and at 9 o'clock at night the re- mains of the gallant dead were placed in these caskets and buried in the graveyard of the Reformed Church near the public school building. Rev. W. K. Zieber performed the last sad rites at this ceremony. The graves were marked for the purpose of identification. Sometime later these bodies were disinterred and re- moved to the National Cemetery at Gettysburg. The soldier belonging to Battery M, killed near Abbottstown, was first buried in the Lutheran churchyard in that village. Rev. Daniel Hauer officiating. He was one of the most popular men in his command. Two months later a sum of money had been contributed by his com- rades and sent to Abbottstown with the request that the body be disinterred and placed in a Catholic bury- ing ground. His remains were then removed to the graveyard adjoining Paradise Catholic Church. Incidents. There were two incidents of this eventful day at Han- over worthy of special mention. Some time before the Union cavalry had entered town, a large flag was stretch- ed across Frederick Street between the residences of Henry Long and John Rupp. This flag continued to float to the breeze during the contest and throughout the (hiy. Il was loo high in the air to be cut down by the Confederate soldiers. Early in May, 18C;5, a flag had been placed on a tall ])olo near li>e centre of Pennville. It was here that the fight o])ened. The enemy had not time to take it down and it waved proudly to the breeze in the face of the Confederates during the whole afternoon of June 30, and it welcomed the Fifth Army Corps, a part of whose men encamped around it the following afternoon. This flag is still in existence, owned by Zephaniah C. Butt. Telegraph Opened. A. H. Byington, of Connecticut, who was a war cor- respondent of the New York Tribune, in 1863, related the following story of his experience at Hanover: HANOVER CENTENNIAT. 37 "On my way to Hanover from York in the night of June 30, I encountered some Confederate cavalry, and when I got to Hanover T found that there had been a severe cavalry engagement there during the day. The town had a disorderly appearance; people stayed close to their houses, and the debris of arms, and accoutre- ments lay around the roads. The wounded were gather- ed in a hall and church. Telegraph wires were broken and strewn around. "I stopped at the hotel and asked the landlord if there was a telegraph operator in town. 'Yes, there he is,' said he, pointing to Daniel E. Trone. I asked him where his battery was. 'At home under the bed,' he said, 'The wires are all cut and there is no use trying to telegraph.' After considerable parleying I got some men to go out on a handcar and fix the wires, I paying the men and making myself responsible for the value of the car. Then the battery was brought out and we got Baltimore, the operator, Mr. Trone, promising an ab- solute monopoly of the wire for two days. "I hurried to the battlefield at Gettysburg, thirteen miles off. Before reaching there I met General Howard and he told me of the first day's fight, of Reynold's death and many other things. I found J. R. Sypher, whom I engaged at Lancaster to follow me, and we sent off by our private telegraph wire from Hanover an ac- count of the fight of the first two days at Gettysburg. It was a magnificent feat. No other accounts got through to New York that night, and between 9 :30 and midnight of July 2, the Tribune sold 65,000 copies on the streets of the city. "Mr. Trone kept getting the strange signal 'K. I.' from his instrument. 'What the dickens does K. I. mean?' he asked. 'I am afraid the rebels have tapped our wire.' Finally he found out that it was the War Department at Washington. 'We have received By- ington's first dispatch,' said Secretary of War Stanton to the Hanover operator, 'and it is our first news. Send along more. We are listening.' For two days I sent exclusive dispatches over my wire giving all particulars of the great battle, the New York Herald was running relays of horses to Westminster and York. I telegraphed that the railroad was whole from Baltimore to Hanover, and the government sent out trains for the wounded. The surgeon told me that that railroad saved General Sickles' life." A Sad Story. The death of a dispatch bearer at Green Ridge, in Codorus Township, was one of the most unfortunate events of the Confederate invasion of 1863. At 11 A. M. of June 29, General Meade, with his headquarters in the saddle between Frederick and Union Bridge, wrote out an extended report of his plan of operations and the position of his ditt'erent corps then moving eastward toward Getty.sburg, Hanover and Manchester. This courier was entrusted with the important duty of trans- mitting Meade's dispatches to General Halleck, the head of the army at Washington. He entered the lower end of York County and reached the village of Marburg, four and a half miles southwest of Hanover, at 9 P. M., where he halted for supper. As the telegraph lines had been cut in western Maryland, this dispatch bearer was carrying his message to Glen Rock, where it was supposed a line was still open to Baltimore and Washing- ton. After leaving Marburg, he moved eastward and seems to have lost his way, when he approached Green Ridge. Not knowing which road to take for Glen Rock, he stopped at the farm house of George Bair, and called for the occupants to show him the way. It was now mid- night and the affrighted farmer, who did not under- stand English, thinking the soldier in front of him was one of the enemy, he shot and instantly killed the dis- patch bearer who fell from his horse. His remains were interred in the burying ground at Stone Church in Co- dorus Township. A few months afterward, the father arrived and had the remains removed to the home of the soldier in New York state. Mr. Bair, in great dis- tress, surrendered himself to the military authorities and was taken to Hanover and later to Frederick, Mary- land, where he was tried by a military court and ac- quitted of any crime. The dispatch which the soldier carried was found on his person after his death, sent to the War Department at Washington and appears in full in the "War of Rebellion," Series 1, Volume 27, Part 1, pages 66-67. The importance of the engagement at Hanover is magnified by the fact that the troops on both sides were led by the most distinguished cavalry officers of the Civil War. Hanover Company in 76th Regiment. The Seventy Sixth Regiment Pennsylvania Volun- teers was organized August, 1861, in response to Presi- dent Lincoln's second call for volunteers. This regi- ment had one company from Wrightsville commanded by Captain McGee. Company D, of this regiment was organized by Captain Cyrus Diller at Hanover, soon after he returned from the three months' service. This company was commanded in order of succession by Cyrus Diller, William S. Diller and Charles L. Bittinger all citizens of Hanover when the war opened. Captain Bit- tinger recently died in Florida being one of the last sur- viving commissioned officers of his regiment. Among the lieutenants were Samuel T. Cleckner, Luther Y. Diller and Joseph A. Heintzelman. Joseph A. Slagle and Noah Waltersdorf served as sergeants in the Seven- ty Sixth Regiment. On November 18, 1861, this regiment received its colors from Governor Andrew G. Curtin, at Harrisburg. 38 HANOVER CENTENNIAL SOLDIERS' MONUMENT The Seventy Sixth then went to Fort Monroe and sailed from there to Hilton Head, assisted in capturing Fort Pulaski at the north of the Savannah River. In the attack oa Charleston, South Carolina, they suffered a heavy loss in attempting to sever communications be- tween Savannah and Charleston. On July 10th the regiment was one of the leading commands of the Union Army that took part in the assault on Fort Wagner where it achieved distinction for gallantry. The moat was reached by the Seventy Sixth regiment and many of its brave men fell on the parapet beyond; in all one hundred and thirty men and five officers of the regiment were killed, wounded or taken prisoners. A second assault took place on July 18, but Fort Wagner, guarding the entrance to Charles- ton harbor was finally captured after a siege of fifty days. In May, 1864, the Tenth Corps to which the Seventy Sixth belonged, was ordered to join the Potomac army in Virginia. The regiment took part in the battle of Cold Harbor and the siege of Petersburg. In January, 1865 this regiment assisted in the capture of Fort Fisher at Wilmington, N. C. A large number of rank and file had re-enlistcd after serving a period of three years in defense of the Union. Captain Cyrus Diller had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before receiving his discharge. After the war he became a contractor in the liuilding of different railroads of Pennsylvania. He erected tlie Diller House now known as the Hotel Iliuiover and was its proprietor for several years. The Invasion of 1864. In July, 1864, Lee detached General Early with nearly 20,000 men from his army defending Petersburg and sent him north. Early swooped down the Shenandoah Valley took possession of Frederick, Maryland, and collected from that town $200,000 in greenbacks, in order to pre- vent it from being laid in ashes. About the same time McCausland's cavalry entered Pennsylvania and burned the town of Chambersburg. General Early was one of the best raiders of the Con- federate Army. He was instructed to move forward and capture Washin gton City. Early with his large command was met by Lew Wallace with a force not exceeding 5000 men. A hard contest took place along the banks of the Monocacy River near Frederick, Maryland, on July 9, 1864. Although Wallace was driven back to Baltimore he retarded the progress of Early on his way toward the National Capital until two army corps were sent to the defense of that city by General Grant. In the Battle of Monocacy the Eighty-Seventh Regi- ment composed entirely of troops from York County, excepting two companies from Adams, won imperishable fame for courage and fortitude. At Monocacy this regiment lost five commissioned officers killed, three wounded and seventy-two men were among the killed wounded and captured. Company G was recruited at Hanover and took part in thirty-eight battles and skirmishes during the three and one-half years of its military service of the Eighty- seventh Regiment. It was mustered out about one month after the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. The One Hundred and Sixty-sixth Pennsylvania was composed entirely of troops from York County. About one hundred of the rank and file of this regiment enlisted from Han- over and two of the surrounding townships. The One Hundred and Sixty-sixth served for a period of nine months, entering the army in the fall of 1862. It joined the army of the James River under Burnside later com- manded by John A. Dix of New York. Joseph A. Ren- aut of Hanover was INIajor of the One Hundred and Sixty-sixth Regiment. Rufus J. Wintrode served as captain of one company and Jacob N. Slagle, also of Hanover, a First Lieutenant. ^lany other soldiers from Hanover and vicinity enlisted in different regiments and performed valiant service in tlie cause of the Union during the Ci\-il War. Soldiers'" Monument. 'l\vo years ago Comrades Malcolm O. Smith and Michael Augustus Bucher originated a plan to erect a monument in Ml. Olivet Cemetery. Maior Jenkins Post joined in the laudable project and helped to raise money for it. All the soldiers of Hanover who served in the Federal Army have their names on bronze tablets on the monument, which was dedicated with imposing ceremonies. This monument was designed by E. Leonard KoUer, a son of the late Rev. Dr. J. C. Koller, pastor of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church for more than 30 years and a Civil War veteran. HANOVER CENTENNIAL 39 Local Biographies. Col. Richard McAllister. Colonel Richard McAllister who commanded the Second Pennsylvania Regiment in the Revolution, was born in IT-li. He was a son of Archibald McAllister, who came to America from Scotland in 1732. Richard McAUister moved to the site of Hanover from Cumber- land County in 1745 and purchased a large tract of land. In 174i3 h3 married Mary, daughter of Colonel Matthew Dill whose son Matthew founded the borough of Dills- burg. McAllister laid out the town of Hanover, and became one of the leading citizens of York County. At the opening of the Revolution he became an ardent supporter of a plan to establish a new country on the western continent. In 1775 he was elected a member of the Committee of Observation and Safety for York County. In June of the same year he served as a repre- sentative in the Provincial Conference, which met in Carpenters' Hal , Philadelphia and in January, 1776 was a member of the same body. In 1775 he was commission- ed colonel of the Fourth Battalion of York County Militia. During the fall of the same year was placed in command of a regiment of Minute Men, selected from the five battalions of his county. His military career in the Flying Camp has already been given. In March, 1777, Colonel McAUister was elected by the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, County Lieutenant. This ofSce required to drill the six different battalions of the militia in York County, which then included Adams, and have them ready for active service in the army. During the years 1783-84-85-86 he was a member of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania, which under the state constitution of 1776 to 1790 was the Executive Body in the State Government. Early in life Colonel McAllister took a prominent part in the legal affairs of York County. He was com- missioned Court Justice in March, 1771. He was a mem- ber of the first State Constitutional Convention in 1776, and presided over the York County Courts in 1784-85. Col. McAUister died at Hanover October 7, 1795. His tomb is in Mt. Olivet cemetery and on every suc- ceeding Memorial Day services are held at his tomb by the Grand Army Post of Hanover. He had eleven children whose descendants now live in ten different states of the union. No portrait of him is known to be in existence. His eldest son Abdiel commanded a company in the first expedition to Canada in 1775, and during the campaign around PhUadelphia took part in the battles of Brandy- wine and Paoli, under David Grier. Archibald McAUister, another son, born 1756, com- manded a company in the battle of Germantown, in 1777, and also in the engagement at Monmouth, New Jersey, in 1778. Matthew, a younger son, born 1758, became first United States District Attorney of Georgia, Judge CAPT. A. W. EICHELBERGKR of the Superior Court of the State and Mayor of Sa- vannah during the war of 1812. Colonel Julian McAllister, a grandson, commanded a regiment in the regular army during the Civil War. Captain A. W. Eichelberger. Captain A. W. Eichelberger, for more than half a century prominent in the business and railroad interests of Hanover and vicinity, was born December 6, 1819. He was a great-grandson of Philip Frederick Eichelberger, a native of Sinsheim, Germany, who first settled in I-ancaster County and in 1761 purchased 220 acres of land a few miles southeast of Hanover. Early in life Captain Eichelberger learned the carpen- ter's trade, but never followed that occupation. From 1843 to 1852 he spent much of his time in the State of Georgia, where he shipped carriages and damask cover- lets from the north, and also joined his brother, Jacob, in the ownership of a grist mill and saw mill in the State of Alabama. During his early manhood, Captain Eichelberger drUled and disciplined the "United Blues," an excellent military organization composed of young men in and around Hanover. This company, in 1846, volunteered to enter the American army during the Mexican War, but as the quota from Pennsylvania had been already made up their services were not required. Later he drilled the "Fourth Dragoons," composed of fifty mounted men. In politics he was a devoted Whig during the supremacy of that party and later he was an active Republican. 40 HANOVER CENTENNIAL In 1853, on account of his administrative and execu- tive abilities, Captain Eichelberger was elected presi- dent of the Hanover Branch Railroad Company. This road, through his influence, was afterward consohdated with the Gettysburg Railroad. Later he became presi- dent of the Baltimore & Hanover, Bachman Valley, Berlin Branch and Baltimore & Harrisburg Railroad Companies, projected largely through his enterprise. He spent the remainder of his life building up and developing the interests of the corporations of which he was the active head, and at the time of his death, in 1901, was the oldest railroad president in term of con- tinuous service in the United States. During his whole career. Captain Eichelberger held an influential position in t!ie public affairs of Hanover. By nature he was benevolent, warm hearted and earn- estly interested in the public welfare of the commu- nity, of which he was an honored member. In 1894 he purchased a controlling interest in the Glenville Aca- demy and awarded a large number of free scholarships. Later he erected a commodious and ornamental school building on elevated ground in the northwestern part of Hanover. In this building Eichelberger Academy was conducted for a few years, and in 1900 he presented the building and the grounds, in all valued at $35,000, to the borough of Hanover for public school purposes. This generous act has endeared his name and reputation to the people of Hanover, and will be a lasting memorial to his name. Captain Eichelberger died at his residence on Frederick Street in 1901. Jacob Wirt. Jacob Wirt, second son of Christian and Catharine Wirt, was born February 24, 1801. In 1827 he succeed- ed his brother, Henrj', in the management of the large mercantile interests at the Wirt Corner, Center Square and Baltimore Street. After eleven years, he retired from mercantile pursuits and engaged in the lumber and coal business. In 1849, when a company was laying plans for the construction of a railroad from Hanover to Hanover Junction, Mr. Wirt was chosen president, but resigned the next year. From 1860 to 1865, he was a director in this company and an active promoter of its interests. He was recognized as an exact and care- ful business man and an excellent financier. He served as president of the Hanover Saving Fund Society until his death. In politics he was an active Republican, and in religion a member of the Emmanuel Reformed Church. Mr. Wirt was married to Amelia Banner in 1827. He died in 1869, leaving to survive him his widow and five children: Emma C, married to Dr. John A. Swope, of Gettysburg; Eliza Ann, married to George N. Forney, and Martha, married to Albert Barnitz of York. Calvin C. Wirt, the oldest son, was active in the organization of the Hanover Water Company and other public enterprises. He died in 1874, at the age of thirty years. Robert M. Wirt, the youngest son of Jacob Wirt, has been president of the Hanover Sav- ing Fund Society since 1885, and for many years served as secretary of the Hanover Branch and Harrisburg and Baltimore Railroad Companies, and was secretary and treasurer of the Hanover Water Company. Henry Wirt. Henry Wirt, the eldest son of Christian Wirt, was born at Hanover, October 9, 1789. During his boyhood he attended a school taught by John McLaughlin, a Scotchman, when Henry Wirt and one other pupil were the only ones who studied English grammar. He entered his father's store as a clerk and in 1816 suc- ceeded his father in the dry goods bu.siness which he conducted with success until 1827, when he retired and devoted his attention to his private affairs. Henry aided in establishing the first Sunday School at Hanover. In 1835 Mr. Wirt aided in securing the adoption of the public school system for his native town. He was one of the chief supporters of the plan to construct a rail- road to Hanover Junction, the largest contributor to the capital stock of this railroad, and a member of the board of managers for many years. For a long time, he was director in the Hanover Saving Fund Society, and of the Gettysburg Bank, and president of two turnpike companies that extend from Hanover. During the War of 1812, he served as lieutenant in the company com- manded by Captain Metzgar, which took part in the battle of North Point, September 12, 1814. Henry Wirt was married to Catharine Swope. He died in 1859, leaving six daughters and one son. Henry Wirt, Jr. Henry Wirt, only son of Henry Wirt, Sr., was born at Hanover in 1827. He obtained his education in the public schools, and at the age of twenty, engaged in the mercantile business, which he continued until 1850 and then retired, devoting the remainder of his life to public enterprises and his private aft'airs. jNIr. Wirt served as president of the Hanover Saving Fund Society for eight years; secretary and director of the Hanover Branch Railroad Company; chief burgess of Hanover; director of the National Bank of Gettysburg; charter member and director of the Hanover Water Company, and president of sc\eral turnpike companies. He was interested in the cause of education, and served for a period of fifteen years as a member of the Hanover school board, and devoted his best energies toward im- proving the public schools. For many years, he was one of the most influential members of the board of trustees of Franklin and Marshall College at Lancaster, and gave liberally to the support of the institution of learning. He bequeathed a considerable sum of money for the support and maintenance of a library connected HANOVER CENTENNIAL 41 -rx. ^K^k ^^^rifl^^^^^^^^^BMHBB^"^^^' ^^If^^^^^K^ESh^^'^' ' ""^ '^^^l^^^^^l^^l^^^^^^^^ ' ^^I^J^r -^- HENRY WIRT Jr. with Emmanuel Reformed Church, of which he served as elder for twenty years or more.

In Colonial days, when Hanover was a small town, physicians in America acquired their medical education in the offices of practitioners or in the universities of Europe. This custom continued until the University of Pennsylvania in 1765 added a medical department to that institution. It was the first medical college to be established in the United States which conferred degrees upon young men who prepared themselves to practice the healing art. The University of Maryland was found- ed in 1807. Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1826. For more than a century the majority of the young men in the United States, except New England, obtained their medical degrees in Philadelphia and Balti- more, at the three institutions already named. In the early days of Hanover, physicians met with many obstacles in the practice of medicine. In case of sickness, teas and potions and the quack-remedies of charlatans, who flourished in every section were deemed sufficient to use their efforts in trying to treat any form of disease. Midwives practiced obstetrics. There lingered among the people the tradition of their ancestors, that the red and white striped pole was the sign of the combined office of barber, physician and surgeon. With the exception of a few maladies imported from countries with which in former times, there was only infrequent and slow communication, there is no evidence that there are any diseases now that did not prevail in early days. Remedies Used. Until the middle of last century, physicians made their visits on horseback with saddle-bags in which were carried their medicine and the few instruments they used. They prepared their own pills and potions. Among their preparations was Mercury, a remedy which had been used for centuries. Calomel came into repute in 1736 as an application for the "throat distemper" but mercurials were not pushed for salivation until the be- ginning of last century. This mode of medication con- tinued until about 1850. Jalap, with calomel, was used extensively half a century and more ago. Venesection was introduced about 1750 and became so popular with physicians that it was employed in all cases, the lancet being their invariable accompaniment. It was even stated that the death of George Washington in 1799 was owing almost entirely to the excessive use of "cupping" or attempting to cure a patient by bleeding. Dr. John Baker. So far as facts can be ascertained Dr. John Baker was the first regular physician in Hanover, who was authorized by his previous training to practice the healing-art among the early settlers of this community. He set- tled in Hanover in 1775 and followed his chosen pro- fession here during the Revolution and until the time of his death in 1795. Being the only doctor residing within the radius of fifteen miles of Hanover, he was called upon continuously to treat patients over a large extent of country. Tradition said he traveled in a gig and was a successful practitioner. He volunteered his services as a surgeon to the Second Regiment of the Flying Camp, commanded by Col. Richard McAllister, founder of Hanover. His friends and neighbors per- suaded him to remain at home because his medical skill was needed in the town and vicinity. Dr. Patrick Smith. Dr. Patrick Smith, a Scotchman by birth, and said to have been a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, was the next physician of repute. He came to this community in answer to the invitation of Mc- Allister when the latter found Dr. Baker was in declin- ing health. An official record in the York County court house shows that Dr. Smith was the physician in three families of Hanover who oVned slaves, as late as 1797. It is a fact of history, however, that slavery was discontinued in Pennsylvania by an act dr the State 42 HANOVER CENTENNIAL Legislature in 1781. The owners of such servants; however, were permitted to retain their slaves, pro- viding they were taken care of until the time of their death. The last slave known in Hanover and in York County lived in the family of Karl Forney at his home, at the western extremity of Frederick Street. This slave died in the year 1840. Rev. Frederick Melsheimer, M. D. Dr. Frederick Valentine Melsheimer was pastor of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Hanover, from 1789 until his death, 1814. He was born in Brunswick, Germany, September 25, 1749, and obtained a classical, theological and medical education at the University of Helmstaedt. After reaching Boston in 1778, he took the oath of allegiance to the United States, two years after the Declaration of Independence was passed by Congress at Philadelphia. He then migrated to Bethle- hem, Pa. In 1779 Rev. Melsheimer became pastor of five congregations in Lancaster County. In 1787 he was elected the first Professor of the German language and literature at Franklin College, in Lancaster, founded through the support of Benjamin Franklin, a member of the original board of trustees and in whose honor the institution was named. Later it was chartered Franklin and Marshall College. While pursuing his duties as pastor and physician, Valentine Melsheimer became interested in the study of American insects. In 1806 Dr. Melsheimer wrote and published a classification of insects relative to this country. The book was printed on a press belonging to Stark & Lange, who were induced to come to America and establish the first paper in Hanover through the influence of Melsheimer. At the time of his death in 1814 he owned a large library, many of whose volumes related to the principles and practice of medicine. His work on Entomology is now one of the rarest books in America. There are only seven copies known to be in existence. The last one was sold a few years ago for $70. Melsheimer also published three works on the- ology. His son. Dr. Frederick Melsheimer, of Davids- burg, York County, inherited his collection of insects and in 1874 sold it to Louis Agassiz, the famous natura- list, who was then a professor in Harvard University. The collection is now owned by the Harvard Museum. Dr. Peter Mueller. Dr. Peter Mueller settled in Hanover in 1803. He was born in Coblentz, Germany, in 1765 and died at Hanover in 1842. For thirty years he was postmaster of this Borough and his office was in the residence now owned by Dr. Charles Wagner, on Frederick Street. Dr. Henry C. Wampler. Dr. Henry C. Wampler was one of the early physi- cians in the borough of Hanover. He was born of German parentage about six miles southeast of Hanover, in the year 1781. He read medicine under the direction of Doctor Jameson, the famous surgeon of the Revo- lution, who resided at York. He attended the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, and settled in the practice of his profession in Hanover in 1805. He was a successful physician and the range of his professional duties extended a distance of ten miles in every direction from Hanover. Dr. Wampler resided on the north side of Frederick Street, in the residence now owned by Robert M. Wirt. Dr. Jacob P. Smith. Dr. Jacob P. Smith for thirty years the leading physi- cian of Hanover, was born near McSherrystown in 1809. He obtained his preliminary education at the parochial school connected with the Church of the Sacred Heart. In his boyhood he displayed exceptional mental endowments and was universally popular among his friends and associates, during his long career as physician and surgeon. At the age of eighteen he entered St. Mary's College, at Emmitsburg, Maryland, where he was graduated in 1831. Soon after leaving College he entered the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania where he received the de- gree of Doctor of Medicine in the year 1836. During the succeeding forty-seven years. Dr. Smith practiced his profession at Hanover, and on account of his medical training and experience was frequently called into con- sultation with Drs. Jacob Hay, Sr., and J. W. Kerr, of York. During the cavalry engagement at Hanover, June 30, 1863, Dr. Smith was in Centre Square attending to the wounded soldiers even when the bullets of the enemy whizzed around him. After the battle he was one of the surgeons appointed by the V. S. Government to treat wounded soldiers at the Hanover Hospital, on Baltimore Street, including many wounded men brought here from the battlefield of Gettysburg. Dr. Smith was one of the founders of the First Nati- onal Bank of IIano\or of which he served as President for so\cral years. At the time of his death, in 1883, he bo( I Ilea tiled forty-thousand dollars to found a public library in Hanover. This money under his last will and testament was to become accessible after the death of his widow. The money was placed on interest and wlien the library was established in 1911 the amount had increased to forty-nine thousand dollars. This money was turned over to the board of trustees and utilized in the establishment of an institution which has since proven to be of great importance and value to the people of Hanover. Dr. Smith was a man of excellent character and high reputation, ranking among the foremost men of his profession in Southern Pennsyl- vania. HANOVER CENTENNIAL 4S Dr. J. W. C. O'Neal. Dr. J. W. C. O'Neal who recently died at his home in Gettysburg, at the age of four score and ten years, be- gan the practice of medicine in Hanover in 1844. After remaining here about ten years, he removed to Gettys- burg where he was one of the leading physicians for a half century. He served for ten years on the State Board of Public Charities being first appointed by Gov- ernor Pattison and retained that position under two succeeding governors who belonged to the Republican party. Dr. John Gulbertson. Dr. John Culbertson, a prominent physician of Hanover for a period of forty years, was a native of Ireland where he was born about 1800. He obtained his education in his native land and was accredited with having been a graduate of the University of Dublin. He settled at Hanover in 1840, and soon built up a large practice. Being of Irish birth he never spoke the Pennsylvania German, then in common use in the community where he followed the profession of a phy- sician.

The medical doctor never attempted to fill or make artificial teeth, but he had to be supplied with the old-time pull- ing instrument, called the "pullegen" or "tournequet." With these he extracted the aching teeth for the relief of his patients, and carried his instruments with him on his trips to the country and everywhere he went on his professional duties. The art of modern dentistry was introduced into Hanover in a crude way })y travel- ing dentists, who made periodical visits, '^i'heir j)riiici|)al business was that of cleaning teetli, pulling oiil Ihc defective ones, and putting in artificial Icclh on jjivots which were driven into the roots of Ihc naliiral Icctli after the crowns had been removed. Occasionally Ihcso pioneer dentists would attempt to fill teeth with some kind of a composition, which was covered with tin foil. Dr. J. Walker. In 1828, J. Walker, dental surgeon, was the first re- corded traveling dentist, who visited Hanover. Dr. Wm. H. Bange. Dr. William H. Bange was the first professional den- tist to follow this occupation in the borough of Hanover. He was a native of the town and began to practice in the 1840. During the first years of his professional duties. Dr. Bange used the old-time tooth-pulling in- struments. At that period, sets of artificial teeth were put in plates of silver and gold and the teeth were made by the dentist himself. These metals continued to be used by dentists until the introduction of celluloid, about 1870. During his early career. Dr. Bangetravel- ed to the small towns and villages, and through the country in pursuit of his profession. He took with him his instruments and the head-rest which could be at- tached to any chair for the use of the patient. He in- troduced the modern practice of filling teeth with gold and silver, and eventually had a full dental outfit. Dr. Bange was succeeded in the practice by his son. Dr. Faber Bange. Both are now dead. Dr. H. C. Derr. Dr. H. C. Derr, a professional dentist, opened an office in Hanover in the year 1850. He practiced the art of dentistry here with success until he removed elsewhere. Dr. H. C. Ruth. Dr. H. C. Ruth and Dr. 3. A. Thomas, learned den- tistry under the instruction of Dr. Derr. The former died about a year ago, after following his profession for a number of years. The latter is now located at Newark, N. J. Legal Profession. When the Province of Pennsylvania was under the rule of the English King and Parliament, the Justice of the Peace transacted much of the legal business of the community. The office was always filled by men of the highest integrity and business ability. Richard McAllister, the founder of Hanover, was the original Justice of the Peace in this region. He was also one of the judges who held the courts at Ycirk before the Revo- lution. He presided over that court for a ])eriod of lliree years. ITnder the State C\institution of 1776 and until the year 1791, the county (inirts were presided over l)y three or five of these court justices. Henry Welsh, a leading citizen of Hanover, was a Justice of Ihc Peace for Iwenly years and also transacted much legal business before llie courts at York for his friends and neighiiors. Jacob Rudisill, who became one of the Assoiiale Judges in 1701, and Colonel Henry Slagle who filled the same office, were legal advisers of the citizens of Hanover and vicinity as well as Judges of the Courts. When the town was incorporated in 1815, John L. Hinkle, a hardware merchant, became the first Justice of the Peace, and also served for twenty-tliree years as an Associate Judge of York County. Judge Hinkle was also a land surveyor. George Frysinger, Jesse Fry- singer, C. W. Forney, James E. Naille, Hezekiah Trone, HANOVER CENTENNIAL 45 and Jacob Gundrum also served as Justices of the Peace for the borough, years ago. W. D. Gobrecht, who pubhshed a local newspaper, began the practice of law at Hanover about 1840. Jacob F. Welsh opened an office in 1840 and afterwards removed to Texas. James E. Naille performed the duties of an Attorney and Justice of the Peace for a period of twenty years. Alfred E. Lewis, H. C. Dean, a native of New England, Philip Gossler, and J. W. Johnson, afterwards a practicing lawyer of Lancaster, began the legal profession at Hanover. Col. R. M. Russell who served as a soldier in the Mexican War and was the Lieutenant Colonel of a Pennsylvania cavalry regiment, practiced law in Hanover for several years after the Civil War. His death occurred in 1913. The Printing Press at Hanover. The first newspaper was established at Hanover by W. D. Lepper and E. Stettinius, both educated Germans who had learned the art of printing in the Fatherland. Their paper was called the Pennsylvania Wochinschrift, and its first issue appeared April, 1797. Mr. Lepper con- tinued the printing office after the paper ceased publication . April 4, 1805, Daniel P. Lange, an intelligent German, and J. P. Stark issued the Hanover Gazette, a German paper. The partnership of Lange & Stark continued until 1816, when Mr. Lange alone continued the paper regularly until 1842, and from that year until 1846, Augustus Schwartz was associated with him. From 1846 to 1850, Mr. Lange again conducted the Ga- zette alone, and afterwards sold it to Gutelius & Schwartz. The first named was pastor of the Reformed Church of Hanover, who sold his interest to V. C. S. Eckert, in 1852, and soon after, his brother, Titus S. Eckert, purchased Mr. Schwartz's interest. At the open- ing of the Civil War, in 1860, the Gazette changed from a Democratic to a Republican paper; George E. Sher- wood was for a time its editor. It ceased publication in 1864, after an existence of sixty years. In August, 1818, Rev. Jacob H. Wiestling, pastor of the Reformed Church, issued the Guardian, the first English paper published in Hanover. In 1819, he sold the publication to Joseph Schmuck, who owned one of the old time Franklin hand presses. One day while printing his paper he over-exerted himself work- ing at the press, burst a blood vessel and died from the result at the age of thirty-three. He was the father of Henry M. Schmuck. William D. Gobrecht purchased the paper in 1824. It was continued in 1825, and soon after the Hanoverian, another English paper, took its place, and was published for several years. In 1824, Joseph Schmuck and Dr. Peter Mueller began the pub- lication of the Intelhgenceblatt. In 1835, another En- glish paper, the Herald was started by George Fry- singer, and in 1839 was purchased by J. S. Gitt, and in 1840, by Grumbine and Bart. It suspended in 1842. The Democrat, an English paper, was founded in 1841 ; in 1844 its name was changed to the Planet and Weekly News, when it was purchased by Senary Leader, of Baltimore, who changed the name to the Hanover Spec- tator. It supported the principles the Whig party. Mr. Leader died March 20, 1858, and his widow became the publisher, and her son-in-law, F. M. Baughman, the editor, who continued until 1860. Mrs. Leader conduct- ed the paper until her death, in 1875, when it became the property of her descendants and was conducted by W. H. and E. J. Leader until 1892, when it was discontinued. In 1860, J. Samuel Vandersloot, of Gettysburg, start- ed an English Democratic paper in Hanover, which after a brief existence suspended publication to be re- vived soon afterwards by George W. Welsh and Joseph Dellone, under the title of the Hanover Citizen. A German paper called the York County Democrat, published by Schwartz and Bart, was purchased by Welsh and Dellone and its name changed to Hanover Citizen and York County Democrat. The first number of the English Citizen was published January 31, 1861, F. M. Baughman being the editor. In March, 1869, W. J. Metzler became an equal partner but sold his interest in October, 1871, to A. P. Bange, who edited the German paper. Mr. Bange died May 4, 1875, and Mr. William Heltzel was sole proprietor until June 29, 1879, when he sold the office to Barton K. Knode. In the spring of 1892, J. S. Cornman, of Hampstead, Mary- land, bought out Mr. Knode and in August following started a daily evening edition under the name of Han- over Daily Record. He discontinued the German paper. In June, 1872, M. 0. Smith and P. H. Bittinger es- tablished the Hanover Herald. The firm of Smith and Bittinger was dissolved, April 7, 1885, Mr. Bittinger retiring. In 1894 Mr. Smith started a daily edition of the paper styled the "Evening Herald." In April, 1895, the Record Publishing Company, Limited, succeeded Mr. Cornman and buying the Han- over Advance, the competing Democratic Weekly, con- solidated it with the Citizen, styling the new paper the Weekly Record. In 1904, the Hanover Printing Co. was incorporated and the Daily Record was changed to a morning paper, while the Record-Herald was establish- ed by a consolidation of the carrier lists of the Daily Record with those of the Evening Herald. On February 8th, 1915, The Sun Publishing Company absorbed the equipment and good will of the Poultry Fancier Publishing Company, publishers of The Poul- try Fancier and The Independent. Since then the name of both the magazine and the newspaper have been changed to Everybody's Poultry Magazine and The Evening Sun. The Anthony Printing Company of Hanover has done a large business in the publication of books, magazines, and job-printing for a period of fifteen years. 46 HANOVER CENTENNIAL OMCEIFAL EESTOMY ©F EA]M@¥IEE By T. F. CHROSTWAITE, Esq. (The purpose and scope of this article is to narrate in a brief way from the records of the borough itself the municipal his- tory and development of the borough. The article does not include anything that has not a direct bearing upon the borough as a corporation and with few exceptions all the matter contained herein has been taken from the original minute books, ordinance books, plans, reports, and such other records as were found in the custody of the present borough authorities or recorded or filed in the various offices ia tha cjurt hou33 at York,) How Incorporation was Eifected. IT IS now well-known to all who are interested in the history or development of the Borough of Hanover that the borough was incorporated in 1815 ; the special act incorporating it was approved March -Ith. It was the custom in those days to incorporate boroughs by special charters. In 1834 a general act was passed under which boroughs might be chartered, and in 1851 what is known as the "General Borough Act" was passed. Under the latter act nearly all the boroughs of the state have been governed during the past sixty-four years. The old boroughs voluntarily came under the act by peti- tioning the Court of Quarter Sessions. Hanover came under it in the year 1856, but in doing so it did not surrender any of the special privileges it may have enjoyed through its original charter. All special privi- leges were retained under the Act of 1851 except in so far as they were inconsistent with that act. The new Borough Code, which went into effect July 1st, 1915, also excepts special privileges obtained by any special charters. An instance of these special provisions is the one whereby borough taxes in Hanover are collected by the high constable. That the high constable had the right to collect borough taxes [as given to him in the borough charter] was decided in a case brought before Judge Gibson a number of years ago. The charter [No. 4052], entitled, "An Act to erect the Town of Hanover, in the County of York, into a Borough," is set forth at the end of this article. In 1816 it was amended, and at various times special acts were passed affecting the borough. They, too, are printed at the end of this article. Prior to the going into effect of the n<'w (Constitution in 1874 special acts of the legislature were jja.sscd on all subjects, and in the early days all manner of subjects were included in one act. Now special acts are not per- mitted except under certain conditions. Special pro- visions in the borough charter may be changed to con- form with the new Borough Code, by a petition to the Court of Quarter Sessions, signed by the burgess, council, or twenty-five qualified electors. Early Contemporary Boroughs and Their Prototypes. In order to more clearly understand and appreciate some of the actions of the corporation and the manner in which its business was conducted, it may be beneficial to state in a brief way the foundation upon which the government of the new borough rested. Hanover may be truly considered one of the ancient boroughs of the state. The first borough incorporated was Germantown in the year 1689. There seems to be no record as to whether or not Philadelphia was ever a borough. The village of Upland was founded by the Swedes about 1645, but was not incorporated. Penn changed its name to Chester. Upon the arrival of Penn in 1682 he prepared the "Great Code of Laws" and the planting of villages and towns began. Franklin and Warren were early laid out. The town of Pottsville grew into "a town of magnificent distances." The charter or Charles II granted to William Penn gave him the authority to "divide the country into Towncs, Hundreds, and Counties, and to erect and incorporate Townes into Borroughs, and Borroughs into Cities, and to make and constitute ffairs and markets therein, with all other convenient privileges and munities." This has been the fundamental clause in the municipal his- tory of Pennsylvania since 1681. Among the early boroughs were the following : Chester 1701; Bristol 1720; Lancaster 1742; Carlisle 1782; Reading 1783; York 1787; Easton 1789; Harrisburg 1791; Pittsburgh 1794; Lebanon and West Chester 1799. All these boroughs in their early constitution resemble their English prototype. As in England, all cities were once boroughs. A borough or "burgh" was supposed to be a fortified town, or a fortified house or court yard to a king or noble, gradually growing into a town with chartered ])ri\'ilcgi-s. In England each borough was entitled to re|)resi'iitalion in Parliament. The Enghsh borough system found root principally in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut. The borough system found its greatest dexelopment, however, in Pennsylvania. Many of the cliaracteristics of the English prototypes have been lost. The guilds of the Middle Ages are un- known, as are the aldermen and the host of other officers, — the bailiff of the brethren, the mace-bearer, the Ser- jeants at mace, chamberlains, bellmen, beadles, peck- sealers, moormen, mossmen, the flesh and fish-lookers, and the ale-tasters. The town clerk, the market-master, high constable, and fence-viewers remain. Yet they are English boroughs still, changed to meet new conditions. HANOVER CENTENNIAL 47 CENTER SQUARE IN 1874 There probably was no division into Hundreds, al- though Hundreds were common in Maryland and Del- aware. The Revolution did not change the local form of government; it remained practically the same after 1776 as before. All public officers were either elected directly or chosen by those who were elected. Penn himself could not even appoint a justice of the peace. All recognized popular sovereignty. Apparent Purposes of Incorporation. One of the principal reasons for the incorporation seems to be in order to erect and regulate a market house. This was the most important business trans- acted on April 18, 1815. The money was subscribed by the inhabitants for a market house and turned over to the treasurer, "the materials to be looked for on the Susquehanna River." During the same year a contract was let for the building of the market house for $850. During this year and the three years following market regulations were among the chief concerns of the council, and detailed restrictions were made and fines and pen- alties imposed. No doubt the farmers attending market did not have so far to go, and that may account for the reason that on May 21, 1818, the hours of market were fixed to commence at three o'clock, A. M., from May to August, and four o'clock, A. M., from September to April. A market house was erected on the Square and in 1872 a petition signed by 104 citizens asked for its removal. Later in the year the burgess reported that the market house had been taken down and sold to Cyrus Diller for the sum of $42. Another apparent reason for the incorporation was in order to regulate fairs, showmen, exhibitions, shooting matches, etc. Fiddlers and musicians were obliged to pay $1 a day during the fairs and other days of public amusement. Every inhabitant was prohibited "from permitting any show or exhibition in his or her house, outhouse or premises without a license." The holding of shooting matches and shooting at the mark were prohibited. Also the practice of breaking of flax in such places where the property of citizens might be en- dangered. Two fairs were held, one in the Spring and one in the Fall. The council usually regulated the li- cense fees prior to the beginning of each fair. Early Administration. The first rules and regulations were adopted May 4, 1815. They provided among other things that quarterly meetings should be held in April, July, October and January, but the chief burgess could convoke the town council at any other time. The meetings were held at six o'clock, P. M., and a fine of twenty -five cents was imposed for absence. The first order of business was "subjects as may have been referred by any former meeting." Then the burgess called upon each member in rotation "to make such communication as may occur to him, respecting the interest of the corporation." An ordinance was adopted fining any person who re- fused to serve on the town council, but no one was liable to serve more than one year within a term of five years. The resolution stated that "one cannot alto- gether be justified refusing to serve and setting an ex- 48 HANOVER CENTENNIAL ample of this kind, it being a duty incumbent on every citizen, to be always ready in spending a few hours for the promotion of the welfare and happiness of his fellow citizens." The difficulty of getting members to serve and to attend meetings seems to have existed during most of the history of the borough. A supplement to the charter provided that "neither the burgess, a member of council, or a constable might not have to serve except one year in five years." As far as the burgess is concerned there is now no difficulty on this point, as he is not eligible to succeed himself. The early borough legislators were awake to the ad- vantage of la,ving the town out according to a systemat- ic plan. As early as 1815 regulators were authorized to level the public square and lay out lots, "but in no case whatsoever to lay off the town plan otherwise than by squares." The actual laying off of the town together with its foundation and early history is not within the scope of this article and will be fully treated elsewhere. During the early history it was the custom to re-enact all ordinances each year. Early Finances. During the first year, 1815, the tax duplicate was $878.91. During the end of the year there was a balance in the treasury of $254.17. The report of the treasurer for 1816 showed an expenditure by the treasurer of $417.68. A tax rate on May 20, 1815, was fixed at one- half cent on the dollar. On this basis the assessed valua- tion of the borough at that time was between seventeen and eighteen thousand dollars, a sum not sufficient at the present time to purchase a town lot in the business section of the borough. A.s late as the year 1832 a tax of $245.25 was laid. Salaries and Wages. During the early years it appears that the burgess and members of council reccixed a salary of $4 per annum, the high constable $1.5 and the clerk $27.50. This regulation started in March, 1816. The practice of paying the burgess and council an annual sum continued practically throughout tlic history of the borough. The small sum being considered in the nature of an honorarium. During the present generntion it consisted of a ten dollar gold piece at the end of each year's busi- ness. It was frequently allowed to the burgess for his expenditures and divided by him iiniong the councilmen in token of their support and his appreciation. In 1909 an act was passed regulating the salaries of burgess and in the same year the salary of the burgess was fixed at $400. The sum allowed to the high constable was prob- ably for the collection of taxes and the serving of notices. The duties of the high constable were varied and ap- parently the office did not carry the honor and dignity of the old English prototypes, for we read that in 1831 he was obliged "to take up the geese" found running at BATTLE MONUMENT ON THE SQUARE large and sell them and retain one-half the proceeds. There are also instances where if he failed to carry out instructions and collect fines he himself was put under a psnalty and a fine imposed. The records do not seem to show when the high constable was placed on a com- mission basis. It probably followed certain later acts of the legislature regulating the collection of taxes and the payment of collectors. The town clerk was probably changed to secretary after the acceptance of the General Borough Act of 1S51. For a number of years the salary was fixed at $1 00 and is now $'25 ])er month. The making out of tlie lax dui)licate and the collection of Commons rents for uiany years have been among the duties of the l)()rough secretary. Early Fire Protection. The history of I lie fire (lei)artment of the borough of Hanoxer will be a(le((ualely treated in a special article. The importance of fire protection arose in 1820 following a fire of considerable extent and damage. The early difficulties and the intense interest and zeal of the first fire companies is very interesting reading. Early Complaints and Improvements. During the years 1815 and 1816 considerable ground was sold from the Public Commons. Stalls in the mar- HANOVER CENTENNIAL 49 kets were sold at public auction. Ordinances were adopted regulating foundation walls, private walls, fences, drainage, streets and alleys. In 1826 the condition of the public road in Frederick Street was complained of. Also that the cutting down of the May Pole deprived the inhabitants "of the convenience and opportunity of observing the succes- sive changes of the winds from which they have been accustomed to calculate the probably and impending vicissitudes of the atmosphere — observations which are oftentimes very useful in the pursuit of different trades and always indispensable to the cautious farmer." In 1827 complaint was made that the waters of Ab- bottstown Street ran into York Street and made a pond in the public highway. In the following year complaint was made of the gathering of young men and children on Saturday evenings in the market house, "a practice which should be put a stop to, as it tends to destroy the morals of youth, and is likewise an annoyance to the peaceable and orderly citizens." The constable was ordered to drive away any children and boys who disturb the tranquility of the borough. In 1829 a resolution was adopted relating to moneys contributed in furthering "the location of the great National road contemplated to be laid out from the City of Washington to the town of Buffalo." In 1831 Pidgeon Street, by action of council, was ordered to be drained. In 1832 the ordinances were to be published in the Hanover Gazette. The constable was ordered to pro- hibit the selling of liquor without a license. The evil consequences were commented upon. In this year the grading of streets within the borough was placed in the hands of Michael Bucher, Esq., and Henry Albright, Jr. In the following year a deed was given by Martin Lohr for a water course for carrying off water collected in York Street. A book containing about 250 pages forms their report. Henry Myers retired as regulator on April 18, 1861, after 25 years of service. In 1838 viewers fixed as a standard for grade a point six inches above the floor of the market house, and then regulated the grades for Berlin Street, York Street, Frederick Street, Baltimore Street and Carlisle Street. During 1839 the paving of sidewalks of Baltimore and York Streets were ordered. Early School Taxes. In 1834 a tax of a quarter of a cent on the dollar was laid. Later in this year the Secretary of the Board of School Directors transmitted a certificate to the burgess stating that a majority of the citizens desired an ad- ditional school tax to be levied, to be added to the com- mon school fund, amounting to $200. Later [1836] $400 was appropriated for school purposes by a prior vote of the citizens. Borough Certificates. In 1837 the question of issuing borough certificates in the sums of 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents and 1 dollar was dis- cussed and a committee appointed to wait on the Han- over Saving Fund Society. Later the burgess and town clerk refused to sign the notes and Benjamin Welsh and George Young were authorized to sign in the place of the burgess and Joseph W. Schmidt and Wil- liam D. Gobrecht in place of the town clerk. The issue was not to exceed $5000 and the first issue to be $1000, carrying interest at the rate of 1 per cent. The Borough Commons. The question of dividing the Commons arose in 1851. About Ihis time the Hanover Branch Railroad entered the borough. A public entertainment was to be ex- tended to the mayor and council of the city of Baltimore on the opening of the road. Upon the opening of the Hanover Branch Railroad through the borough commons it became necessary to make some provisions for the future use and maintenance of this valuable tract of land. For a number of years council discussed the sub- ject. By deed dated November 4, 1778, recorded in Recoid Book E E, page 392, Richard McAllister bought from Thomas Lilley a tract of land containing three hundred and seven acres, and upon the death of Richard McAllis- ter, the executors, Archibald McAllister, Jesse McAllis- ter and Jacob Rudisill, sold and conveyed to George Carl, Paul Metzgar, John Hinkle, Henry Welsh and William Gitt, Trustees, a tract of land containing twenty- three acres one-quarter and thirty perches for the con- sideration of three hundred fifty-one pounds, one shil- ling and ten pence, said deed being dated July 17, 1798, and recorded in Record Book T T, page 232. This tract they were to hold "in trust for the only proper use of an open and free public Commons, for all and every one of the Citizens and inhabitants of the Town of Hanover .and their successors forever, and for no other use or purpose whatsoever." On July 22, 1851, the opinion of J. J. Campbell, Atty., at the request of council, was to the effect that the bor- ough could not sell any part of the land and advised a pstition to the legislature for the authority to sell or lease the same. On November 29, of the same year, a town meeting was held at the Academy in reference to petitioning the legislature for this purpose. This peti- tion evidently was not presented or at any rate not acted upon, for on the 15th day of Nov. 1858, a petition to the Court of Common Pleas of York County was presented by the corporate authorities and citizens of the borough stating that the public commons had been cut up and occupied by various railroad companies and rendered wholly unfit and incapable of being used as a public commons, whereupon, after due notice to parties 50 HANOVER CENTENNIAL interested and after an investigation in which the court was aided by the report of a competent person, the court on the 5th day of July, 1859, did order and decree a sale of the said premises and appointed Frederick E. Metzger trustee to make said sale. Mr. Metzger after due public notice did on the 15th day of October, 1859, make public sale and sold the said tract to the Burgess and Town Council of the Borough of Hknover for the sum of $5,400, which sale was after- wards reported to the court November 11, 1859, and duly approved and confirmed. In said deed the tract is described as follows : — Be- ginning at a stone adjoining lands of Samuel Fitz, north seven and a half degrees east thirteen perches and four-tenths to a stake, thence by lands of John Barnitz, David Bixler and Charles Barnitz, north eight and one- half degrees, west sixty perches and eight tenths to a stake, by lands of Eichelberger's heirs south fifty seven degrees west thirty six perches and nine-tenths to a public alley in the Borough aforesaid, thence by said alley parallel with Carlisle Street in said Borough south thirty -nine and three-fourth degrees, east seventy and one-half perches to a corner in Chestnut Street in said Borough, thence by said Street north fifty and one- fourth degrees, east sixteen perches to a corner at a public road leading to the Berlin and Hanover turnpike, thence by said road north thirty-three degrees east nine perches and one-tenths, thence by the same north thirty nine and one-fourth degrees east forty-two perches and seven-tenths to the place of beginning, containing twenty-three acres seventy perches neat measure." Period Prior to the Civil War. Nothing of much importance appears in the minutes of council in the period extending from 1850 to 1860, except the very important subject of making use of the borough commons. The following items may be of interest: In 1853 the wages of one man who broke stone in the borough streets were raised to $1 per day, and the other man to 87|c a day. The piking of the square opposite the market house was negatived. The Square is sometimes spoken of as the Diamond. The price of lots on the Commons was fixed at $14 per annum. The high constable was fined three dollars in every case he failed to make information for ()l)structions in slreels. In 1855 Shirk & Slagle asked permission to place their anvil in the alley, but the motion was negatived. Thresh- ing machines were given a limited time for using the public streets for threshing grain. An ordinance was passed regulating the "running at large of hogs, horses, mares, geldings, mules, swine, goats, bulls, or cows." In 1856 E. H. Stefl'y was awarded contract for building a new engine house for $80. "Complaint of the en- croaching on the Borough Spring by George N. Forney was considered groundless." Civil War Period. The first intimation of the Civil War was found in the minutes of April 19, 1861, when "the burgess re- ported that a number of citizens were desirous of con- necting themselves with the army, but cannot do so under existing conditions without gross injustice to their families. A thousand dollars was voted as a reserve fund for these purposes, to be distributed by a committee of the council." Three days later a "Home Guard" was organized with the chief burgess, [Jeremiah Kohler] as Commander-in-Chief; Jacob Wirt, Captain; Wm. Bange, 1st Lieutenant; L. F. Melsheimer, 2nd, Lieutenant; Joseph C. Holland, Srd Lieutenant. The next records are on September 8, 1862, when a meeting was called "to receive from Jacob AVirt, and Daniel Q. Albright two hundred and sixty muskets, and their accoutrements, fifty cavalry pistols and holsters, fifty cavalry sabers, and two brass cannons, six pounders — obtained by them from the Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, for the defense of the Borough of Hanover." The following is the introduction to the motion ac- cepting the arms and the bond thereunder : "The recent incursion of the Rebels into Maryland and their close proximity to our own firesides, renders it imperatively necessary for us to prepare for emer- gencies, and as the desire has frequently been expressed by the citizens, that efforts should be made to procure arms for our own defense against predatory bands of mauraders — the council unanimously adopt the follow- ing in behalf of the citizens — Whereas, at the instance of the citizens of this borough, and to provide arms for its defense in the present imperilled state of the country, and imminent danger of invasion by the public enemy, etc." On January 14, 1864, council resolved "that inasmuch as it was found inexpedient to appropriate the entire sum of $4600 prayed for by the petitioners of yesterday, that council would appropriate the sum of $2000 to be applied as bounties to volunteers." On July 30, 1864. it was "Resolved that council are willing to jipprojiriate the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Dolhirs for each volunteer required under the jjCTuling draft to fill the quota requisite for the borough of Ilaiioxer; Provided, each man in the borough liable Lo the draft who is not a property holder first pay the the sum of Fifty Dollars and the full quota is raised, otherwise this appropriation to be null and void." The words "Fifty Dollars" was later changed to Twenty- fixe Dollars or conjointly raise the sum of Eighteen Hundred Dollars in addition to the amount appropriated by the council." On August 26, 1864, the sum of three hundred dollars instead of two hundred and fifty dollars was appropriated. Petitions were circulated ?!? tP the payment for volun- teers. HANOVER CENTENNIAL 51 On February 15, 1865, it was agreed to pay substi- tutes for one year one hundred dollars and for three-year substitutes three hundred dollars for each person who volunteered. This was in response to a petition con- taining the following: "Their reason for asking the change made, is in consequence of the utter impossibi- lity to procure substitutes, at any price — Whilst on the other hand volunteers are said to be more easily ob- tained. The glorious victories also of the Union Army at Savannah, Charleston, Columbia, Wilmington and elsewhere give hope, sure and unmistakable, that the Rebellion is rapidly crumbling to pieces and the Govern- ment will not again be compelled to resort to drafting." On March 22, 1865, a special tax duplicate amounted to $1285.18, and the burgess was authorized to borrow $6500 from the Hanover Saving Fund Society to pay a note in the Gettysburg bank. Period Subsequent to the Civil War. After the war, council undertook its customary busi- ness and in 1866 met the last Saturday evening of each month, a set of rules were adopted for guidance, prescribing the manner of business procedure, presentation of bills, etc. During this and for several years following not much of importance transpired. The following may be noted : [1867] fourteen dozen gum buckets were bought at 60 cents per piece, also the run- ning part of a carriage for the use of fire ladders. 1867 an ordinance was passed signed by 55 property owners prohibiting the killing of cats. On June 3, 1868, a com- mittee was appointed to purchase a lot in Mt. Olivet Cemetery for the burial of the remains of the Mc- Allister family. 1870 petition signed by citizens asking that cows be permitted to pasture in the borough. In this year [1870] citizens and lot owners of Heidelberg Township asked for an annexation of a portion of the township. An ordinance was enacted permitting the annexation. In this year a proposition from the gas company was presented to light the streets of the bor- ough. April 9, 1873, it was resoh^ed that the lockup be built on the engine house lot. The contract was awarded to Joseph Slagle for $690. In this year the burgess re- ported that he had every assurance that money would be raised to purchase a fountain for the square. On March 15, 1877, another petition was presented asking for the admission of a' section of land to the borough. Important Items 1884 to 1895. The minutes from 1884 to the present time cover subject matter well known and understood by many per- sons now living. A few brief comments are here given without any of the narrative detail. September 2, 1882, the salary of policemen was fixed at $15 per month. Later in this year it was increased to $20.00. In 1885 G. Milton Bair asked permission to erect telephone poles on the public streets of the borough. This privilege was granted if agreeable to property owners to place poles in front of their properties. In this year the gas company made an agreement to light the streets. The borough tax was continued at three mills. Privilege was granted to the Hanover Fire Engine company to give the Ladies a complimentary ball in Engine House any time within thirty days. August 3, it was decided to request the business men of the borough to close their respective places of busi- ness on Saturday, August 8, 1885, in honor of Gen. U. S. Grant's funeral and that the bells of this borough be tolled. The Hayden Oratorio Society asked permission to meet in Fireman's Hall. In 1886 the wages of laborers were fixed at $1.25 per day. Uniforms for policemen were purchased. The salary of policemen was increased to $25 per month. In 1887 another petition was presented for increasing the limits of the borough, the courses and distances are set forth in the minutes. May 3d, 1887 the following appears; Pa. R. R. Co. and W. M. R. R. Co., were ordered to place flagmen at crossings on Abbottstown and Carlisle Streets. June 7, 1887, "permission was granted the Hanover Band to play within the railing of the oval in the square for one month." In this year [1887] McSherrystown and Hanover Turnpike offered to pay the borough $100 to take off their hands that portion of the pike within the borough limits. The offer was accepted. Professor A. B. Carner was paid $275 for a plot of the borough showing grades and lines of streets and alleys. On February 7, 1888, the maps were accepted as the official guide. Another proposition to light the streets by gas was presented by the Hanover Gas Company. April 23rd, 1889, ordered that the hundredth anni- versary of the inauguration of George Washington be duly observed. January 8, 1892, a motion was made by G. Milton Bair relative to the borough owning its own water and light plants. A special election was held relative to the erection of a water plant and electric light plant. On April 11, on motion of Mr. Frysinger the proposi- tion was indefinitely postponed. June 10, a report of the manager of the Hanovei Water Company said they would sell their plant for $60,000. October 7, 1892, the Hanover & McSherrystown Street Railway Company asked permission to lay tracks through the borough. November 14, 1892, Mr. Bair reported that the ma- jority of the votes cast in the election of November, 8, 52 HANOVER CENTENNIAL WIRT PARK 1892, favored the increasing of the borough indebtedness to $100,000 for the purpose of acquiring a water plant. The question as to the legahty of the vote was raised. After a wrangle which occupied considerable time and takes up considerable space in the borough minutes a meeting was held and the question discussed. During the meeting several of the members withdrew and the chief burgess declared the meeting adjourned for the want of a quorum. The question came up at subsequent meetings, the council being a tie on most of the questions, especially on the legality of the election and how to proceed to test the same. On February 3, 1893, the water company notified the borough that as no action had been taken by the borough the proposition for the sale of their plant was withdrawn and on March 3, 1893, the ordinance relating to the purchase of the water plant was repealed. February 5, 1894, a petition was presented by the Hanover Telephone Company to erect poles and wires throughout the borough. Permission was granted and extended to January 1, 1895. March 1, 1895, a resolution was adopted relative to the erecting of a monument to commojiioratc the IJattle of Hanover, and an act for that purpose was presented to the Legislature, by Hon. W. H. Long, asking for an appropriation of $10,000. Bequests to the Borough. The minutes of August 5, 1879, state that the finance committee was authorized to receive the bequest of Mr. Metzger of Carlisle. On October 18, 1880, the burgess reported that he received a check for $1900 from the estate of George Metzger. This sum was placed at interest and upon the foundation of the Hanover Public Library, the principal and interest was added to the endowment fund. The minutes of February 1st, 1881, reported the be quest of Dr. Jacob P. Smith. The subsequent use of these two funds will be thoroughly treated in the special article on the Hanover Public Library. There, too, will be found the full data and references to the bequest of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Young. The bequest of the Eichelberger High School to the borough will be found fully treated under the head of "Public Schools." On June 2, 1890, a communication from ]Mr. Henry Wirt was presented stating that he would convey to the Borough of Hanover the lot of ground containing about two acres bounded by Franklin Street and High Street and two public alleys, on the following conditions : "First. It is to be used only as a public park and as a play ground for the children of the town, to be under and subject only to such rules and restrictions as the town authorities may from time to time enact and establish for its maintenance and regulation. No buildings are to be erected thereon, nor is it to be leased or rented for any purpose whatever, so as to be a source of income to the borough. The only exception to these conditions being that in case ul any time in the future the town aulhorities shall decide lo put up a building to be used as a public library or town hall, or either of them, they shall have the right lo do so on this lot, provided said building is put at such a place as least to interfere with the uses for which this lot is donated. Any violation of the letter or spirit of these conditions to make this conveyance of no effect and to cause the lot donated to revert to and become part of my estate. Should this offer be accepted by the council on the conditions named, after due consideration of the matter, the trans- fer can be made at once." The deed, therefor, by Henry Wirt and Louisa F., his wife, was executed June 5th; Recorded in Record Book 8 U, page 499. HANOVER CENTENNIAL 53 Public Utilities. On February 26, 1873, it was resolved that the right- of-way be granted to the Hanover Water Company for the purpose of laying their pipes through the streets of the borough; the streets to be put in the same good con- dition as found when commencing operations, and during this year a contract between the company and the borough was made and entered on the minutes. This was the beginning of the institution of public utilities in the borough, as far as references to them in the borough minutes are concerned. In the year 1870, however, there is a reference to a proposition from the gas company to light the streets of the borough. The following is a list of the franchises given by the borough authorities and the dates thereof: 1892, October 29, Ordinance No. 33, Original fran- chise to the Hanover & McSherrystown Street Railway Company. 1892, December 2, Ordinance No. 34, Amending Ordinance No. 33. 1893, February 3, Ordinance No. 36, Further amending Ordinance No. 33. 1893, April 8, Ordinance No. 40, Franchise to the Hanover Light, Heat & Power Company. 1893, May 5, Ordinance No. 43, Further amending Ordinance No. 33. 1893, May 5, Ordinance No. 44, Further amending Ordinance No. 33. 1893, June 13, Ordinance No. 45, Further amending Ordinance No. 33. 1893, September 4, Ordinance No. 49, Amending Ordinance No. 40. 1894, February 12, Ordinance No. 56, Franchise to the Hanover Telephone Co. 1894, October 20, Ordinance No. 68^ Amending Ordinance No. 56. 1900, November 28, Ordinance 103, Franchise to Hanover Gas Company. 1901, January 7, Ordinance 104, Franchise to the Pennsylvania Telephone Company. 1901, December 12, Ordinance No. 107, Franchise to Hanover Sewer Company. 1904, July 21, Ordinance No. Ill, Franchise to the Hanover Electric Power & Heating Company. 1904, August 12th, Ordinance No. 117, Amending Ordinance No. 111. 1905, February 7th, Ordinance No. 121, Further amending Ordinance No. 33. 1905, February 7, Ordinance No. 122, Franchise to the York and Hanover Street Railway Company. [This franchise lapsed and became void.] 1907, May 9, Ordinance 139, Franchise to the Hanover & York Street Railway Company. 1912, April 26, Ordinance No. 213, Condemning Hanover Sewer Company. 1915, July 10th, Ordinance 265, [Tracks on Frederick Street.] The various franchises are set forth in the Borough Digest, pages 144 to 180. A period of exemption from taxes and license fees, extending from five to ten years was granted to the street railway companies. At present the taxes on poles is 25 cents per pole per annum, and in addition to this there is an annual license tax of $150. The York Railways Company pays 3 per cent, of the total gross receipts earned in the borough per annum. No public utilities are owned by the borough. As before mentioned several attempts were made to pur- chase the water system and some agitation about build- ing a lighting system. Early in the year 1912 a town meeting was held for the purpose of protesting against an increase in the water rates and at that time the ques- tion of municipal ownership was agitated, a committee of citizens appointed to have investigation made, either for the purpose of reducing rates or for the project of erecting a municipal system. The committee carried on extensive investigation and received opinions as to the legal aspects of the question. The amount of money necessary to erect a competing system became a serious obstacle in the way. In the Spring of 1913 an ordinance was passed which in effect condemned the Hanover Sewer Company and authorized an appraisement to be made by three viewers. Extensive litigation has resulted; the case being before the viewers for several months and before the county court for at least two years. It is now in the Supreme Court on appeal by the borough. The value fixed by the viewers was $75,000. The award by the common pleas jury fixed the value at about $120,000. No doubt the decision of the Supreme Court will be handed doMn at its next sitting in October of this year. A number of other public utility questions arose during the past ten years, involving the lighting of streets, the safety of traffic by street railway companies and rail- road companies, the building of sewers under and along railroad companies, removal of tracks on Abbottstown and Frederick Streets, the paving by street railway companies of portions of the streets, and the placing of safety gates by railroad companies at certain crossings. Territorial Development of the Borough, The Borough when incorporated in 1815 had an area of approximately three hundred and seventy acres. It took in Centre Square and ran out Carlisle Street as far as Etzler's Tannery, at the alley at the residence of Chas. M. Wolff, Esq.; on what is now Abbottstown Street as far as Locust, on York Street as far as Spring Avenue and present entrance to the Fair Grounds, on Baltimore Street as far as the present boundary line, and on Frederick Street as far as the property now owned 54 HANOVER CENTENNIAL f%: : . ;® m ^ ••:^ ^';^- m^: " P^ -^P^" Tf - ''■'f- 'l^^A^ J;^' ' , ■'■'^^•'/^ ' i ^ ^. \m t ,/ ■' w^":" .JAk ■^ ^R' ...

Kump on the north side of said street and the Winebrenner sisters on the opposite side of the street. The records of June 21st, 1870, indicate that there was an extension to the borough })y the addition of a portion of Heidelberg Township. In 1887 there was a general extension of the borough limits whereby the area of the borough was increased by approximately three hundred and three acres. The borough extended to the present lines, with the excep- tion of the eastern section of the town l,ying between Middle Street on the North and the present borough line on the south, and between Baer Avenue on the west and the present borough limits on the east. In 1893 there was a further extension of about ninety- three acres. This extension lies between Baer Avenue and the present borough limits and between Middle Street and the present borough limits. In 191''2 it was proposed to further extend the borough limits in all directions and in a uniform manner. Meet- ings were called but there did not seem to be sufBcient entiiusiasm then created to warrant further steps being made. With the new area proposed the borough would have an area of about twenty-one hundred acres, or over tlirce S(|uare miles. In the |)ast ten years extension of the borough limits has been continually agitated. Apparently the only reason the inhabited districts contiguous to the borough have not applied for admission is the fact that the taxes would be somewhat increased. As against this the residents of these districts as well as the inhabitants of the borough have contended that these districts would enjoy better fire protection, would have police protec- tion by day and by night, have the streets lighted and repaired, have sidewalks made and regulated uniform- HANOVER CENTENNIAL 55 ly, have better and more extensive school facihties, have free use of the pubhc Ubrary, and all without a very serious increase in taxes. Water, gas, electricity, sewerage, drainage and trolley facilities are more read- ily obtained and better regulated in incorporated dis- tricts. In addition to this there are advantages arising from having a larger population, manufacturers will naturally seek sites in growing centers of population and more work and better pay will result. Besides, it is often the case that manufacturers and merchants living in town prefer to employ residents who help to pay the expenses of the town rather than non-residents. Owners of land admitted to the borough become part owners of the several valuable schocl buildings and grounds, public parks, the permanent street and sewer- age improvements, fire apparatus, houses and alarm system, the public commons, [worth probably $100,000] and the public library with its endowment of $50,000. Recent Strides in Municipal Development. During the past ten years there has probably been more actual constructive work of a permanent nature done in the borough than in all the rest of the one hun- dred years of the borough's history. More ordinances have been passed in the last ten years than in all the rest of the borough's history, more contracts have been made, and more money expended for permanent im- provements. The monument commemorating the battle of Hanover was erected, Wirt Park improved, a road roller pur- chased, the office of fire chief created, electric light contract awarded and a number of new leases to the Public Commons executed. The Civic League was formed and gave valuable assistance to the borough authori- ties. This is also the subject of a Special Article. The first street paving was begun in the year 1908, as before mentioned, the public Square was then paved with brick on a concrete foundation and it has stood up well under the severe test. The abutting property owners did not contribute towards this paving. In 1909 part of Carlisle Street and part of Baltimore Street were also paved with brick on a concrete foundation and reinforced curbing laid. The cost per running foot was $3.85. In 1914 York Street was paved with Warrenite on a concrete foundation, together with storm water sewers and reinforced curbing. The state and county con- tributed liberally towards this improvement. The total cost was about $30,000. The cost to the property owners was $2.05 per running foot. In 1914 the paving of Abbottstown Street was begun. The reinforced curbing was laid in the Fall and the paving was finished in the Spring of 1915 with Warre- nite on a concrete foundation. The cost of this paving and curbing was $2.95 per running foot. During the present year the paving and curbing and sewering of Baltimore Street is being completed. The permanent street improvements from 1909 to 1915 inclusive, cost approximately $100,000. The tax rate has not been increased. All the paving has a concrete foundation of five or six inches and all the curbing is steel bound. The street railway companies contributed towards the paving to the extent of their right-of-way. The money not con- tributed from other sources was divided between the borough and the property owners, the borough paying one-third. These estimates are based on the whole improvement, including street intersections, storm water sewering, curbing and all incidentals. Extensive work was carried on in surface water sewer- ing during the last five years, the principal line being laid from Union Station to an alley in the rear of Car- lisle Street. Other sewers were laid along the alley be- tween York Street and Baltim^ore Street and from Balti- more Street southwestwardly to the next alley. Practically all the streets in the town were resurfaced, crossings laid, and drainage provided for, and the system of electric lights was extended to many of the newly- built-up portions of the borough. The police force has been increased, appropriations to fire companies have been increased, a new fire engine house built, Wirt Park and Chestnut Street triangle made, expensive fire apparatus purchased, and a fire alarm system installed. A number of new streets have been opened, either vol- untarily or by condemnation proceedings, and several streets have been extended and straightened. Sidewalks have been laid in practically every inhabited street in the borough. At the present time the assessed valuation of the borough is about $3,300,000. The assessed valuation is from one-third to one-half the real valuation. The borough's indebtedness is about 2 per cent., although an additional allowance has been voted by the electors, all of which has not been used up to this time. This was for the purpose of paving streets and building of a fire engine house and looking forward to the possible purchase of the Hanover Sewer Company. The reg- istered number of voters is over 2200. The revenues of the borough amount to nearly $30,000 per year. After reading the carefully written and preserved rec- ords of the borough covering a period of one hundred years, one is impressed by the intense zeal and foresight- edness of the early borough legislators. There was a system in the planning, wide room for development, careful management in the most minute details, and a spirit of industry and economy shown, which is quite characteristic of the people themselves. One is further impressed with the fact that though there were many wrangles in council on matters of little and of large importance, there has never been any scandal, such as often besmirches the fair name of a municipality steadily 56 HANOVER CENTENNIAL growing for a century. And in concluding, to those who spent their time and energy, perhaps unappreciated in their day as the living in our day, we now in this cen- tennial proclaim our respect and our gratitude, and while gratefully acknowledging our indebtedness to those of yester-year, let us not forget our loyalty to those who to-day and to-morrow, unpaid and unthanked, even misrepresented and by the thoughtless reviled, who nevertheless do and will hold in their hands the destinies of the new century so auspiciously opened and so full of possibilities. Let the slogan be, like the opening words of Daniel Webster as he addressed the Supreme Court of the United States : "Your Honors, she is a small town, but there are those who love her!" Appendix. The following are abstracted from the Borough Digest, published in 1910, as essential to the record. Lack of space makes it necessary to omit descriptions of boun- daries and the names of officers other than Burgess. Charter of Incorporation.

ANDERSuN, AkCif ' i.,BALTO NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING NOW UNDER COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION SCHOOL EESTOEY ®F EAM@¥]EE By W. L. HOFFHEINS (The facts in the following article have been mostly compiled from the History of York County, written by Geo. R. Prowell) AS SCHOOLS have a most important part in the progress and culture of a town, this book very properly includes an account of the schools of Hanover. In past years parochial, subscription, and public schools have provided the means of instruction for the children of our town. The earliest schools were of the parochial kind and were established on the grounds of the Lutheran and Reformed churches. Later Catholic parochial schools were established. After a time the two former churches discontinued their schools and a series of subscription, schools, taught in succession by many different teachers took their place. The records of those days show that the subjects taught increased in numbers and that the quality of the instruction improved with the passing years. McLaughlin's school, about 1800, in its day is said to have enjoyed a high reputation. The same may also be said of the school established by Seth Forrest in 1825, on Frederick street Three years later Samuel Martin and Frederick Borgen each opened a school in which English grammar and Latin and Greek were taught. At about this time Mr. Corr taught "practical and rational arithmetic," English grammar, and Algebra. Somewhat later, Luther H. Skinner introduced into his school new methods of teaching English branches. This gentleman also married a daughter of Col.

In 1844, George Van de Linde founded a school in which he taught modern languages, the ancient classics and painting. A few years later, Matthias E. Trone taught the English branches, mensuration, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and surveying. The leading teachers who taught during subsequent years in schools of this kind, were Thomas W. Wiggins, Lucien F. Melsheiiner, Peter R. Reily, Rev. Henry Koons, C. A. Hay, Jr., L. R. Baugher, and M. O. Smith. When the common school question came up, in 1834, Henry Wirt, Sr., and Luther H. Skinner were the dele- gates from Hanover to the convention at York which accepted the new system for our county, both these gen- tlemen voting in the affirmative. HANOVER CENTENNIAL 61 EICHELBERGER HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING In 1836 the free public school system began its opera- tion in Hanover. Dr. Smith and Geo. W. Stouffer then taught the two public schools which stood on York street. In 1847-49, a two-story brick building was erected and still stands in the rear of the residence of Reuben Young, on Carlisle street. For the erection of this school building George Young and Rev. Martin Lohr were the committee. The schools in this building were taught at various times by Nathan W. Buckley, Matthias N. Trone, Geo. W. Gist and J. Wicker. As the building of the new railroad required the abandon- ment of this site, the School Board bought the ground on which the present Walnut street building now stands and erected a four-roomed building at a cost of $4,000. The directors, at this time were William Bange, Jesse Frysinger, Dr. John Swope, John Grove, Henry C. Shriver and Peter Flickinger. Subsequently two rooms were added to this building and in this form it remained until 1885, the only public school building in Hanover, supplemented by two rooms in Marion Hall, nearby, which were used for school purposes for a number of years. Regular graduations of High School pupils began in 1893.. That year nine students graduated out of an en- rollment of forty-seven . Classes numbering from twenty to forty, have graduated annually since that year and the enrollment has increased to two hundred and nirie. In 1885, directors, Henry Wirt, Washington Bair, William Heltzel, William A. Slagle, Charles Trone, WiUiam Albright, D. D. Ehrhart and William Stair erected the present High Street building at a cost of $17,000, J. A. Dempwolf being the architect and W. A. Slagle, the contractor. A few years later two additional rooms, and a few years ago, four rooms more were added to this building. In 1891 the Hanover Street School building, of six rooms, was erected by directors Rev. J. H. Hartman, D. D. Ehrhart, E. H. Hostetter, L. P. Brockley, C. J. Gitt, L. V. Keller, Wm. J. Young and E. E. Wentz. Coulson & Brother were the architects and builders. In 1930 Capt. A. W. Eichelberger, an enterprising and public-spirited citizen, at his own expense, gave four acres of ground and a beautiful building of colonial architecture to the Board of Directors as a School building for the children of Hanover. This building and its campus attract the attention of all visitors to our town and have been and will continue a testimony to the wise philanthrophy of its donor. The Board of Director's who received this gift on the part of the town were H. E. Young, Dr. O. T. Everhart, W. A. Little, H. W. Bowman, C. E. Althoff, E. G. Eckert, H. A. Hass and A. H. Melhorn. NEW WALNUT STREET SCHOOL BUILDING 62 HANOVER CENTENNIAL HIGH STREET SCHOOL BUILDING In 1904 the old building on Walnut Street was re- moved and a new one costing $30,000 was built, which contains ten rooms. The Board of Directors then con- sisted of Dr. H. M. Alleman, Geo. N. Gitt, Dr. A. C. Wentz, Dr. M. M. Fleagle, Dr. J. H. Bittinger, Geo. T. Kerr, Edward Egger, and E. H. Hostetter. Martin Moul was the architect and Coulson & Brother the builders. With the completion of the High Street building in 1885, improved furniture was provided and new appa- ratus for school work supplied. The course of study in the grade schools was more thoroughly organized and the work of teachers more generally limited to one grade each. The eighth grades of the system were patterned after those adopted by city schools, Provisional steps were taken toward the formation of a High School by adopting a three-year course above the eighth grades. This course, however, lacked many of the features of the present-day High School. Though the grade schools have but slightly changed in their courses of study since that time, the High School has been greatly changed until it is now by reason of its course of study, |)laced in the first class of the High schools of the stall', and its certificates admit its graduates to all of the Colleges of the state and, with few exceptions, to those of ail other states. The supervising principals and Superintendents of Hanover, assisted by their grade and High school teachers have brought our schools to a high standard of excellence, which a comparison with schools of other towns will abundantly show. Geo. R. Prowell, Z. T. Meixel, C. W. Corbin, T. F. Chrostwaite and J. C. Carey have served as Superin- tendents for terms of from three to nine years. W. L. Hoffheins, J. E. Bahn, and Frank B. Green have each been principals of the High School for a period of seven years. A new high school building is about to be built on the Bixler lot, which will cost $85,000. This will relieve the congested condition of the schools and provide proper facilities for our rapidly growing High School.

HANOVER STREET SCHOOL BUILDING HANOVER CENTENNIAL 63 TESTING SILSBY STEAM FIRE ENGINE FEBRUARY 23, 1882 IT By W. H. LONG THE first effort of which we have any record, re- sulting in an organized body of men whose object was the fighting of fires that might occur in Hanover, was shortly after the incorporation of the town into a borough — it was in the year 1816. These men, feeling the necessity of a protection wherein no well-regulated municipality should be lacking, formed themselves into a volunteer organization with the usual first desire to give to their homes and the homes of their neighbors the safeguard needed should destruction threaten, The first engine secured for service was what is called a "Grinder," a machine which now occupies a place in the parlor of the engine house of Hanover Fire Co. No. 1. We would not consider it of much value today in fighting fires, but it is a relic that serves to practically demon- strate the great advance that has been made in fire fighting machinery. The first engine house, so far as the records show, in which it was placed, in the early days, stood on Balti- more street, on a plot of ground now occupied by Dr. H. M. Alleman's residence. It was a very small build- ing compared to the engine houses as we see them today. The next engine house in Hanover stood on Abbotts- town Street, nearby Emmanuel Reformed Church. It was also a small weather-board structure. This served as an engine house for a number of years. The pioneers in this movement were in that day Han- over's best citizens and some of their descendants are now living in Hanover. This organization seemed to drift along until about 1830 when a re-organization was effected and another engine purchased called the Hand Engine which was bought from the City of Baltimore. Inscribed on a plate was the name "Washington," it being used at the time when the city was dependent upon volunteers to fight their fires. An interesting incident associated with this engine is the fact that it was in the parade when the corner-stone of the great Washington monument in the Capitol City of the nation, was laid. This engine so far as being in some degree adequate to fight fires, was more or less satisfactory, but in comparison, if the visitor will call at the Hanover engine house where this hand-engine can be seen, he or she will at once conclude that there was need of more efficient apparatus in order that should the emergency arise and a fierce conflagra- tion threaten, we would be better prepared to meet it. As a natural result, in the year 1878, on account of our rapidly growing town, there was a demand from the citizens for an up-to-date development of our fire fighting equipment. In that year council decided to select twelve men from each of the four wards to devise ways and means by which greater efficiency could be attained to meet the destructive element. Another re-organization of the Fire Department was decided upon. The officers elected were : John J. Bing- ley. President, and G. H. Shirk, Secretary. Only three of the original members are now on the company roll — Samuel A. Flickinger, Lewis W. Hershey and David S. Emlet. 64 HANOVER CENTENNIAL HOME AND APPARATUS, HANOVER FIRE CO., NO. 1, EAST CHESTNUT STREET Of the preliminary matter pertaining to re-organiza- tion, a wise set of by-laws were enacted for its govern- ment. The equipment on hand was not adequate A. R. MICHAEL, FIRE CHIEF for fighting fires, and being ambitious, the members of the company began to take the necessary steps to bring about the condition that would make them strong in the work for which they were banded together. The first great move was the urging of the Borough Council to. purchase a steam fire engine. A committee was appointed, composed of two members of the com- pany, living in each of the four wards into which Han- over was then divided, to secure signers to a petition asking council to buy a steamer. The committee con- sisted of J. Harry Flickinger, William Troup, Samuel A. Flickinger, Henry Koehler, Stan. Smith, A. C. Long, H. O. Young and Carl Erdmann. At the next meeting llic couimillcc reported their work completed. The petitions were presented to the Borough Council by W.H. Long who was then a member of that body, acccm- panied by a resolution that the engine be brought to Hanover for trial and if found satisfactory that it be purchased. The committee of council, composed of W. H. Long, A. C. Welsh, George Koehler and J. H. Schmuck, after the trial test reported to council that it was what the town needed and the Silsby steam fire en- gine was purchased }>y the council. Subsequent events proved that it was a wise move, for it was then that the HANOVER CENTENNIAL 65 HOME AND APPARATUS EAGLE FIRE CO., NO. 2, EAST HANOVER STREET real development of the department began and continued down to the present time. An engine house for the proper housing of the engine was also required, resulting in the erection of the struc- ture that now stands on East Chestnut street. At first the engine was propelled in case of fire by horses from the Smith livery next to the engine house, but i1 was soon found that this plan would not give efficient ser- vice. It was then that the citizens came to the rescue by subscribing $1000 for the purchase of horses. There was also' added to equipment a hose-wagon built by the Hopkins Manufacturing Co., this place. Four horses were secured and trained for the special work. The next in line was a Hayes' Hook and Ladder Truck, with a fifty-foot ladder, also smaller ladders and hooks. This wagon is also used as a water tower and does ef- ficient work. By reason of the growth of the town, in 1903 a second fire company was organized, and incorporated February 15, 1904. It was known at that time as the Eagle Chem- ical Company No. 1, which company has since changed their title to_Eagle Fire Company' No. 2. Their officers were: President, H. M. Stokes; Secretary, Harry H. C. J. TRONE, Assistant Fire Chief 66 HANOVER CENTENNIAL ^'GRINDER," HANOVER'S FIRST FIRE ENGINE Heilman; Foreman, Chas. L. Trone. Their first equip- ment consisted of a fine hose reel, hand drawn. This company was accepted by the borough as part of the Hanover Fire Department in December, 1903. They then purchased a combination Hose Wagon and Chemical Engine in July, 1904. and received same October, 1904. It was drawn by hand until October, 1905, when they purchased horses, which were admirably trained for their work. Their quarters until 1914 was a frame building on Han - over street, and the site is now occupied by a beautiful brick structure erected by the Borough Council into which they moved December 24, 1914. They also now have as part of their equipment the original Silsby Steam Fire Engine, which is capable of throwing 550 gallons of water per minute and which with attachments will throw four good service streams. The chemical engine owned by this company carries 56 gallons chemicals and 200 feet chemical hose. They also have 1900 feet of 22 inch hose in service. The present officers are: President, Henry A. Haas; Secretary, Harry Reed; Treasurer, Harvey F. Lillich; Foreman, Cloyd B. Shaffer. After the two companies were formed a Chief of tin- Department was named, Frank Kale, a member of tlie old company being the first Chief. Since the new company was organized, I ho Hanover Fire Company have added new ai)|)aratus lo their equipment. The borough purcjiascd for them a combi- nation wagon made by the Americaii-LaFranceCompany which is a horse drawn apparatus and carries 1000 feet of 2g inch hose, 200 feet chemical hose, 76 gallons of chemicals with hooks, and other improvements used in fighting fires. By the generosity of the citizens, who contributed, they have been able to secure an American -LaFrance triple-type 12 motor truck. This truck carries 1200 feet 2} inch hose, 200 feet chemical hose, 46 gallons chem- icals with a pump that delivered 996 gallons of water per minute in a test on the Square, August 27, 1914. The Gamewell Fire Alarm System, installed largely by the efforts of the late James B. Campbell, who was then Chief of the department, with 25 alarm boxes rounds up the 300 volunteers, a fire fighting organiza- tion of which we may feel justly proud and will compare favorably with any other town of the same size and pop- ulation anywhere. The present principal officers of the Hanover Fire Company are: President, S. C. Garber; Secretary, Ray Garber; Treasurer, Irvin P. Hull; Foreman, W. H. Long; First Assistant Foreman. John Britcher; Second Foreman, Harry B. Pentz. A. Ray Michael, a member of the old company, is the present efficient Chief of the department, having been urged to succeed himself on account of the able manner in which he performs the functions of his office in the capacity of Chief. He has associated with him as Assistant Chief, Curtis J. Trone, of the Eagle Com- pany. Truly, the old adage is verified in the growth and de- velopment of our fire department that, "Great trees from little acorns grow," for from a small beginning our fire protection has grown to a strength and effici- ency for which, as an essential part of our town's advancement, we should feel truly grateful on this Centennial occasion. The subjoined are records taken from the minutes of the Borough Council : August 19, 1820, the question of fire protection be- came important. Owing to a fire in that year a general town meeting was called. George AVelsh, Esq., of Gettysburg, offered to make a fire engine at the rate of from $200 to $250. Mr. Ault was given the privilege of constructing a new fire engine for the sum of $425, with certain deductions. On March 31, 1821, Mr. Ault appeared and asked to have his engine accepted. The burgess put these questions: "Question 1. Shall the engine be taken from Mr. Ault in its present state or noty .Vnswer. No. — Unanimously. Question 2. Will the Council give INIr. .Vult time to make the engine good? .Vnswer. He shall have time until the first day of May next.- By a majority of votes." The old engine was ordered to be repaired at an expense not to exceed $35.00. but Ihe committee reported that "she cannot be rc|)aired for that sum." The old engine, however, \\as re])aired and it was not until February 16, 1822, that Mr. Aull's engine was given another trial. Council again refused to accept it. The price was lowered to $280. About two years later, March 20, 1824, the engine was accepted under certain conditions at the price of $280. Mr. Ault complied with the conditions except to insurance of the engine, "that the council must take her in the state she is in [the rings of the hobs he shall fasten]." Council thereupon refused to accept it. The HANOVER CENTENNIAL 67 records do not show whether the engine was ever ac- cepted or not. In 1829 a petition was read that the fire companies which were organized ten or twelve years previous had become disorganized and the engine neglected. In this same year a committee appointed to examine the fire engine reported "that they had taken her apart; that they have oiled her and that in their opinion the other repairs, such as painting, etc., might be postponed until next spring." Mr. George Rupp was appointed to take care of the engine throughout the year at a salary of $5 per year and was obliged to "take her out every four weeks in order to examine her and keep her in good repair." During this year, too, a fire and hose company was organized and a hundred feet of hose ordered "if such a quantity should be found necessary." In the following year another fire engine was bought for $275. In 1832 the engine committee reported that Mrs. Schmuck offered a site on Frederick Street for placing a new engine and building a new engine house provided the borough pay the annual ground rent. On October 15, 1878, a motion was passed that an efficient fire department be organized. Each of the eight councilmen was to select six persons in each ward "and the forty-eight persons so selected shall constitute the fire company." They were to meet in Concert Hall for the purpose of organizing and the services of Post 99, G. A. R. to participate in the organization was accepted. A few days later by-laws were enacted and approved by the council. The purchase of a steam fire engine was agitated dur- ing the year 1881 and a petition was presented signed by 224 citizens and taxpayers. November 23, 1881, an order was granted to the Silsby Manufacturing Company for $3300 for the steam fire engine. 1000 feet of hose was purchased for $1265. "VVASHINGrON" ENGINE. 1830 On February 22, 1882, the Silsby engine was given its first test, being attached to a plug in front of Dellone's Store on Broadway. The next day it was placed on the Square, as shown in the accompanying illustration, and proved entirely satisfactory in its workings. March 11, 1882, the council and the fire department assembled at the National Bank building for the pur- pose of giving the steamer and fire apparatus into the hands of the fire department. Councilman, W. H. Long, representing the Burgess, Geo. Bange, delivered an address occupying about twenty-five minutes. The proceedings are set forth in the minutes of council. H. O. Young, Secretary, on behalf of the department thanked the council for the trust they reposed in them. The Chestnut Street Engine House was then built and from that time on the department began to develop and grow to the strength and efficiency which charac- terizes it at the present time. By THE PRESIDENT. Organized 1904 Federated 1909 Incorporated 1909 On the 1st of November, 1904, fifty-four ladies re- sponded to an invitation extended by M. Bertha Zieber to meet in the parlor of Hotel O'Bold to effect an or- ganization for the civic betterment of oiir town. Miss Zieber's vision was for a more cleanly, healthful, moral and beautiful place of residence. The object of the liCague, as stated in article II of the Constitution, shall be "to cultivate public sentiment to promote cleanliness, neatness and order and do what- ever may tend to improve and beautify the town; and instill into the minds of the children the spirit of good citizenship." The women were willing to shoulder the burden with Miss Zieber as leader. They immediately organized, elected officers, drew up a Constitution, formulated by-laws and named the new organization The Civic League of Hanover. The first and plainest duty which confronted the 68 HANOVER CENTENNIAL HOME OF CIVIC LEAGUE members was to clean up the streets and highways that were littered with paper and debris. They accordingly invested in waste paper receptacles with the inscription "Keep the town clean," hoping to educate the people sufficiently to minimize the discarding of everything on the streets. Beautifying Wirt Park. The next note-worthy act was the beautifying of Wirt Park. This plot of ground was a bequest by the late Mr. Henry Wirt, for a playground, park or library site and which had degenerated into a common dumping ground. The Borough Council put the plot in shape and made it possible for the women to beautify it by employing a florist to plant flower beds, vines and shrub- bery, the purchasing of fifty benches, the placing of a drinking fountain and the stone abutments to protect the four entrances. Wirt Park is the pride and central point of beauty in Hanover and affords much pleasure to hosts of men, women and children who gather there for rccrcalion. The Triangle, on Chestnut Street, is another spot in our town which owes its beauty to the members of the League. $1022.80 has been expended towards beauti- fying these two plots. The Y. M. G. A. Movement. A Y. M. C. A. was the cherished hope of the League; there was a crying need for it in this town and the wants of the boys and young men strongly appealed to the women, who felt helpless in such a gigantic undertaking. They first placed periodicals at restaurants and places where the boys frequented. In course of time an Asso- ciation was formed by the men, the women assisting by contributing $200.00 towards a building fund and providing weekly and monthly periodicals for their reading room, the financial assistance amounting to $392.94. About 30 years ago Dr. J. P. Smith left money to the town for the establishment of a library, the town council being given charge of it. In the spring of 1909 the fund came into the control of the town council for utilization. The hope of the League was that it be used at once and called a meeting of the business men of the town and also invited Miss Helen Price, Assistant State Librarian and organizer, to instruct us how to proceed. The outcome was the organization of a Library Asso- ciation with Mr. H. S. Ehrhart as president. When our present library was a reality the Civic League contributed the sum of $500.00 to launch the Juvenile department and since has given $50.00 annually towards its support. Municipal house-cleaning week was another institu- tion inaugurated, which is now carried on by the Bor- ough authorities. The League also being approached for help towards erecting a Soldiers" Monument contributed $100.00 for that object. Not only has the League worked for our own town, but it has responded to calls from State and National organizations and are ever on the alert for the progres- sive and vital interests of the community. The most humane and christian undertaking has been the establishment of the work of the Civic Nurse in October, 1914. This work is an open door to future activities in physical, social and moral reforms. From the small number of 54 members the League has increased to 110 Active and Our Home. As.sociate members. Through the generosity of Mr. H. D. Sheppard the League hits the use of a much appreciated home for a period of fi\o years. This home, situated on Frederick Street, is used for the weekly business of the Women's Exchange, the monthly meetings of the League and such affairs as bring in money for the League's treasury. The natural result of past work well done is a greater cai)acity for work in the future. The League will not go back, but with courage and inspiration for the future, cherishing the higher ideal of patriotism, that "it is nobler to live for the community, state and country than to die for it," will go on working. — "For the cause thiil needs assistance, 'Gainst the wrongs that need resistance For the future in the distance And the good that we can do.'' HANOVER CENTENNIAL 69 YOUNG MEMORIAL, HOME OF HANOVER PUBLIC LIBRARY IHIAM©¥IEE riUBLIIC LEEEAEY By H. S. EHRHART HANOVER holds an enviable record in the his- tory of the development of the Free Public Library movement. The now almost universal recognition of the Public Library as "the second of the great free popular educa- tional movements of the day" is of comparatively re- cent origin, especially in the smaller towns. Even now in many sections of the State public opinion is not yet educated to the point where a library with an adequate support is demanded. Hanover had a community Hbrary in Eighteen Hund- red and Seventeen [1817]; how much earlier has not been definitely estabhshed but there is to be found in the Hanover Public Library now a "List of Subscribers and Catalogue of Books of The Hanover Library Com- pany" printed by Daniel Philip Lange in Hanover in 1817, which was given to the library by Miss Anna A. Forney. Peter Muller was then the President and Jacob H. Wiestling, Librarian and Secretary of The Hanover Public Library Company. The Hst of subscribers to the Hanover Library Com- pany was as follows : Dr. Henry C. Wampler, Daniel Gobrecht, Hanover Musical Society, John Danner, Frederick Bentz, Junior, Henry Felty, Junior, Samuel Hostetter, Daniel Philip Lange, Henry Shriver, Michael Kitzmiller, John McLaughlin, George Stauter, Peter Storm, Esq., Andrew Shriver, [Conewago] Jacob Hostetter, Junior, Andrew Flickinger, John Baer, Christian Reck, Benjamin Lefeber, William Dines, John Barnitz, David Meyers, Philip Rahn, Senior, Rev.

Schwartz. Hanover, January 9th, 1817. The foregoing list of sul)scribers is a corrccL extract from the journal of the Hanover Library C'ompany. J. H. WIESTLING, Librarian and Socrclary. A quaint set of rules termed "Instructions" is to bo found in the last pages of this book. Rule number Five which says : "Each shareholder being enabled, by means of the catalogue, to make any selections he pleases, no one can be indulged to take books from the case, or handle any volumes, excepting such as are handed out by the Librarian," is in direct contrast to present library practice, which encourages by "open shelves" and in every other possible way the very thing prohibited by this restriction. The following extract from a communication to the "Hanover Herald" dated June 2nd, 1890, by the donor of Wirt Park, Henry Wirt, Jr., whose concern in public affairs was always large and comprehensive, is interesting in this connection: "I have before me a catalogue of books in the collec- tion of the Hanover Public Library Co., in 1817, and also the names of the subscribers by whom it was found- ed. When we consider the small population of the town, hardly one thousand; and also the fact that outside of those in the professions, very few persons at that time spoke or understood English, we are surprised at the extent of the Library and also at the character of the books. Nearly three hundred volumes, many of which must have been large books — was certainly not a bad showing in a town of this size and under such unfavor- able circumstances. Most of the books, judging by their title, were of the solid character, requiring some thinking to get at their meaning. It is to be noticed also how few novels are in the collection, only about thirty of the one hundred and thirty-eight titles. Com- paring these figures with the books in our town libraries at the present time, the proportion of fiction to non- fiction would doubtless have to be reversed. On the basis of books taken out and read the number of novels in our present town libraries would be larger than all the others. From these statements each one can draw their own moral. "The list of subscribers to this as.sociation is also a matter of some interest. The number — eighty-two names — is quite large. Of these probably one-half spoke or understood very little, if any English and of the rest a large proportion preferred the German in their inter- course with each other. Yet they were willing to sup- port a library in a language they hardly understood but which they felt was in the line of a right education, in this country. The list is also interesting as showing the changes in the families and people of our town. HENRY WIRT." In this catalog the number of titles listed is 138, the number of volumes is ^JTS, the number of novels is 29, the number of volumes in the German language is 27. Some of these volumes reached the present Hanover Public Library wlien the Iligbee School Library was a('ded by I he present pastor. Rev. Joseph R. INIurphy. St. \'incenrs parish is gradually increasing from a ('atholic population in 1905 of 300 souls to a population at the present time of 430 souls. The rectory, a building in keeping with the church, \v:is started in 1906 and completed in 1907; the entire cost of the same having been borne by Mrs. Gabriella Smith. Mrs. Gabriella Smith died on June 26, 1907, leaving a will under the terms of which St. Vincent's Roman Catholic Church of Hanover, Pa,, was named a beneficiary to the extent of one-half of the residue of HANOVER CENTENNIAL 87 the estate; the income to be paid annually to the Rector of the church. Last spring six lots to the rear of the church and rec- tory, facing South Street, were purchased from George and Earl Bechtel, on which in the near future a parish school will be erected. These lots were practically paid for from the estate of John A. Humburg, and Mrs. Sallie Johns. The amount from the Sallie John's es- tate was $300. The boundary lines of St. Vincent's are : All the ter- ritory lying north of the Frederick Division of the P. R. R. between Washington Street, Midway, on the West and Carlisle and Eichelberger Streets on the east in the Borough of Hanover. All Midway to Washington Street on the west. In the Borough of Hanover, High Street, north of the P. R. R. to Midway; Franklin Street north of the P. R. R. to Limits; Carlisle Street north of the P. R. R. to Limits; Stock Street, east to Eichelberger Street; Eichelberger Street south to the P. R. R. The people of St. Vincent's have every reason to hold in gratefid remembrance Vincent O'Bold for their church, Mrs. Gabriella Smith, for their rectory and "residue," and John A. Humburg, and Mrs. Sallie Johns for the six lots for school purposes. Well may the good people of Hanover irrespective of religion, feel proud of this property, for it is a credit to any town or city. JOSEPH R. MURPHY, Pastor. Grace Reformed. GRACE REFORMED congregation was organized on July 10, 1906, in the public school house in Midway, Penn Township, by a committee of Gettysburg Classis of the Reformed Church. The members of the Committee were Rev. S. P. Mauger, Rev. F. S. Lindaman, D. D., and Mr. A. R. Brodbeck. A petition signed by fifteen persons was presented requesting to be organized into a congregation to be known as Grace Reformed Church of Hanover. The organization was effected by electing Messrs. J. H. Lau and A. L. King, Elders; C. S. Fickes, F. H. Brame, C. O. Rebert and J. L. Altland, deacons. The congregation at once took steps to purchase a lot and erect a suitable chapel. They were fortunate in securing a corner lot at Fourth and Franklin Streets, 160 by 120 feet, one of the most desirable and valuable sites in west end — which is being rapidly improved with good and substantial homes. The erection of a chapel was begun and completed in June 1907, at a cost of $42.20. The chapel seats com- fortably 300. The Sunday-school was organized in the Midway school house and continued to hold its meetings there until the chapel was ready to be occupied. Rev. S. P. Mauger, then pastor of the New Oxford GHACE REFORMED charge, was called to the pastorate, the board of Hoine Missions concurring with the congregation in the call. Rev. Mauger was commissioned to take charge of this new interest and began his pastorate November, 1906, and continues in the pastorate. The congregation worshipped in the school house until the chapel was ready to be occupied. The Sunday- school has grown from 6.5 to 400 members in this time, and has become the working force of the church. The membership of the church has grown from fifteen to two hundred and twenty-five who are in good standing. On account of rapid growth of the Sunday-school it became necessary to remodel and enlarge the chapel, which was done last fall. The addition is 40 by 30 feet, giving excellent facilities for primary and junior work. The entire building can be thrown into one room, af- fording a seating capacity of over 500. The basement is nearly out of ground, well lighted, and well provided for all social gatherings and entertainments. A splendid lot to the north of this present building challenges the congregation in the years to come to put up a splendid auditorium to complete the church edifice. On the south side there is reserved sufficient room to put up a parsonage, which no doubt will be undertaken at no distant day. Sufficient funds were subscribed to pay for the late improvements. A small indebtedness remains on the first building, which will be wiped out in due time. Grace Reformed church has a fine location, and in this rapidly growing section is sure to become an im- portant factor in Christian work. The following are the members of the Consistory : Elders: — George D. Rahn, H. B. Goodfellow, and F. H. Brame. Deacons : — C. S. Fickes, R. H. Myers, Harvey Dubbs, Grover Frock, H. J. Stambaugh, and D. A. Worley. S. P. MAUGER, Pastor. HANOVER CENTENNIAL □ Vs^n A'^c By REV. GEORGE W. NICELY CONCERNING the origin of the Hanover Young Men's Christian Association, Malcolm O. Smith, the first recording secretary of the original organization furnishes the following interesting facts : In the fall of 1869 the first Y. M. C. A. in Hanover was organized, the meetings being held in the lecture rooms of the different churches. The permanent organization was effected at a meeting held in the German Reformed Church on the 13th of October. The following officers were elected : President — George N. Forney, Vice-Presidents — Oliver Trone, Dr. Horace AUenian, and James Hawthorne. Recording Secretary — M. O. Smith. Corresponding Secretary — A. M. Trimmer. Treasurer — Lewis Grove. Librarian — William T. Helman. ^Managers — John J. Bingley, J. F. W. Sleeder, and Daniel E. Trone. After a checkered career of several years, the asso- ciation finally disbanded. Of the above officers, Mr. Smith alone survives. During the succeeding generation, there seems to have been no further effort to conduct a Y. M. A. C. in Hanover. The present organization was effected at a meeting of the young men of Hanover, called for January 1st, 1!)10, in the Royal Arcanum Hall. January 15th, the Association rented and took im- mediate possession of the second and third floors of the Carver building, on Frederick Street. Many individuals and several local organizations made valuable contri- butions of furniture and periodicals and other literature to the Association. Encouraged by a general and generous support the Y. M. C. A. did a most commendable work. Reading, social and game rooms have been well conducted. The physical side of the work has not been neglected, but without a gymnasium the officers have been seriously handicapped. The Religious Committee, with the assistance of local and visiting ministers, has conducted Sunday evening twilight services during the summer months, which have been attended bj^ thousands of wor.shippers. With occasional changes in the personnel of the officers of the official board, the present association has grown in efficiency and influence during the last half decade, until the officers are now in a position to enter upon the larger work which we believe is their heritage and their solemn duty to the Hanover that now appears upon the horizon of our new and enlarged outlook. The present officers and members of the board of directors are : President — Frank E. Heindel. Vice-President— H. W. Miller. Recording Secretary — Horace Thoman. General Secretary — Horace G. Sheffer. Treasurer — Paul E. Lau. Directors — D. D. Ehrhart, Wirt W. Barnitz, J. Grant Frock, Curtis Brillhart, E. E. Henderson, J. S. Fitz, Wm. E. Pitts, D. H. Ditzler, John C. Krebs, and H. D.

Some do, while others do not, and to the former class belongs the old established store of Samuel Shirk & Son, which since 1846, have been among the largest dealers in hardware, paints, oil and glass in Hanover, and this section of Pennsyl- vania and Maryland. The store of this firm on Broad- way, in the centre of the business district of the city, is one of the institutions of the town, and occupies one of the most imposing and substantial buildings, which was erected in 1901. It is of brick, three stories high, and has a frontage on Broadway of 35 feet, running back a distance of 230 feet, giving the firm a floor space of 24,150 square feet in which to display a stock of goods that is one of the most complete and extensive ever gathered together. There is absolute- ly nothing that is usually found in a first-class hard- ware store that cannot be duplicated in these huge warerooms, and the prices are most reasonable. The firm was founded by Mr. Samuel Shirk, in 1846, who came here originally from Davipliin county, whore he was born. He was succeeded ])y his two sons, Messrs. C. H. and C. S. Shirk. The business was conducted !>>■ I lie Shirk lirothers, until July, 1011 when Charles S. Shirk became the sole j)ro()rielor of llie cslablisiinienl.

HYDRAULIC MACHINERY While the Borough of Hanover is celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of her existence as one of the most beautiful and most prosperous of the towns of Pennsylvania, the year 1915 also marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the I-X-L Steel Overshoot Water Wheel. Since the year 1840, the time of its first appearance, the I-X-L has been steadily improving, having constantly maintained the lead among water wheels in high efiiciency. To-day, on her seventy-fifth anniversary, there are few coun- tries in the known world in which a sale is not recorded. Over three hundred of the mills of Pennsylvania alone are driven by this wheel, and of this number forty are within York Countv. STEEL FLUMES CAST GEARING PULLEYS SHAFTING HANGERS SAW MILLS GRAIN DRIERS Put the brook to work and let it drive the Pump- ing Plant or Electric Light Plant on your Farm or Country Estate. Snap-shot Photo of 12i ft. diameter by 9 ft. face I-X-L Steel Overshoot Water Wheel, running at fuU speed, and driving the mill of Bruce Bros., at Gormley, Ont., Canada. In efficiency and economy of water, the I-X-L stands without an equal in the water power world. As to durability, the first wheel built can be seen to-day, driving the mill of Hon. Alexander Parks, of Martinsburg, W. Va., showing no ill effects of her seventy-five years of faithful service. Should quality and dependability of service be your aim, the I-X-L is the solu- tion of the power problem for your mill or factory, farm or country estate. It is especially well adapted to drive the pump- ing plant or electric plant on the farm. Catalogues furnished on request. The steel wheel uses the whole fall and makes every drop of water do its share of the work. -; Fitz Water Wheel Company, HANOVER, PA. On the wooden wheel only part of the water and part of fall are used. HEBER MICHAEL C ustom T^ailor 341 Carlisle Street HANOVER, PA. S. H. WILLET DEALER IN Groceries and Merchandise 9 E.

Same Specifications as the lamous Jeffery Ches- terfield Six— Refined to an even smoother, quieter operation — $300 lower in price. A true "style carriage" in every sense of the word— fashionable in its lines — luxuriously easy riding— quiet, powerful, enduring in service yet light in weight, and amazingly economical in operation. People of good taste turn instinctively to the Jeffery Six— and find the justification of their selection in the daily dependability of the car under all conditions. THE THOMAS B.

Electricity is practically the exception to the rule that everything costs more than it did ten or twenty years ago. Everything else seems to have gone up, and is still going up, but electricity is ten times as cheap as it was twenty-five years ago and is still dropping in price. The actual cost of production has not diminished materially, if at all, but con- centration of operation and of the facili- ties by which it is produced has had its eflfect. It is a fact, however, that partly because of this and partly because of improvements in lamps and lamp ma- terial, one can buy now for 10 cents the same amount of light which in 1885 cost $1.00. In 1885 you paid $1.00 for 800 candle hours of light, while now the same $1.00 buys 8,000 candle hours or 80 candle power for Ic per hour. Come in and see the "New Nitrogen Lamp" bright as an Arc Lamp; we will be pleased to give demonstrations at any time. Hanover Light, Heat & Power Co. W. C HEPPERLE.

Chestnut Street Hanover, Pa. 1894 1915 Clothing Store for Men and Boys This store has succeeded because profit making has not been its chief ambition, because dollar getting has not been its main object. Its constant aim is to be a GOOD STORE in every way. Strictly Cash and O ne Price to All Which means more than the selling of good merchandise. For if selfishness alone domi- nates, it deprives men and stores of the ideal human character and the principal of right action. We are simple enough to believe that we fare best when we guard your interests of quality and price. We extend thanks to our many patrons who believe in our way of merchandising and have contributed to this successful outcome. After all — ADVERTISING is not so much a matter of wit or literary ability or even technical skill, as it is of getting down to brass tacks and telling plain facts about your merchandise.

It is not a tire filler; the tire carries the or- dinary amount of air pressure- GEO. O. ADAMS 237 Centennial Ave. Hanover, Pa. GENERAL AGENT DISTRIBUTORS: H. M. STERNER R. T. FORNEY CENTRAL GARAGE, 213 Hanover St.-eet Hanover, Penna. GUARANTEE, MONEY BACK ADVANTAGES NATIONAL PUNCTURE SEAL absolutely seals automatically alljmnctures, thelarge as well as the small. .* NATIONAL PUNCTURE SEAL saves time, work, and worry, and with it you alw ays have the proper amount of air pressure in the tire, thereby materially lessening the danger of rim-cutting. NATIONAL PUNCTURE SEAL cools the tires, reducing to a minimum the danger of blovt-outs. NATIONAL PUNCTURE SEAL saves many dollars a rear in vulcanizing bills, for it is never necessary to vulcanize for a puncture. NATIONAL PUNCTURE SEAL does not gum or soUdify, and does not cement tube to the casing, nor does it interfere with vulcanizing. NATIONAL PUNCTURE SEAL is easily injected through the valve stem with a grease gun, obviating the necessity of ever removing the tires from the machine. When an inner tube is new it fits smoothly in the casing, but after a tube has been in service any length of time it stretches so that in replacing it after removal for patching, there will be folds which are liable to break and the tube very often is pinched. All these things caase trouble. By using NATION- AL PUNCTURE SEAL all of these troubles are eUminated.

" "There are not enough trees for the officers let alone us privates" replied the brother soldier.

HANOVER'S CENTENNIAL CELKHRATIOX and KAIR AYEEK an- Iho right combination to bring old friends and forn)er residents baek hi see wiiat "MeAllislertown" lias done for herself in 100 years. They will find many changes, fine new l)uildings, large faclories, i)a\ed streets, and nnmerous other improve- ments to show that Hanover is a wi(k'-a\vake progressiNc little cily, bnt we believe that more comment will be made of the hundreds of attraclixe and cdniforlablc residences and the fact that most of the citizens own their own homes. Hanover is a "home" town, and that is her greatest asset. The history of Real Estate proves that it never becomes any cheaper in a growing place. There are plenty of bargains in the market right now, but putting off buying will not bring down the price. Somebody else will snap them up. Take this tip, and let us helj) YOU to turn this "Old Home Week" into a "New Home" celebration. J. M.
