Lizzie Horst, daughter of Henry of Horst's Mill. He is a self-made man. te- ginnjng as a grain merchant at Lawn, he gave business impetus to the place. He entered the shoe business, to which some of the Kreiders were turning a gentle hand, he carried it to large commanding five large factories at present, Annville, Elizabethtuwn, MIddletown, Palmyra and Lebanon. We hope to have a separate write-up of the Kreider shoe business.

He was nominated for the State Legislature, but a placs opened for his calibre and he went to Congress. TVe fact that he has been returned again and again without opposition is sufficient comment on the nature of his service. His associates in Congress have placed him on important committees without him so much as lifting finger to get the appointment. was recently sent by Congress to visit the battlefields of Europe, from which trip he has just returned. He was brought up in a home, and he is a religious man.

At first he joined the church wife, the Brethren. He was ijaental i locating the Brethren church and one ot the liberal contributors to itc erec- For sevwil bethtown College. When he united with the United Brethren, he with them duplicated the church erection service. He wa sthe life of the half millibn endowment recently raised for Lebanon Valley College. He takes a great interest In tho history of his ancestory.

Every great man wants to become acquainted with the forbears who made him, and do them becoming homage. Ho has generously, without reservation, placed at our disposal all his extensive Krelder records. And what reflects as much credit on him as does anything is the fact that in his palatial home in Annville he and his good wife have not departed from the wholesouled hospitality of tho Brethren and Mennonltcs of old. He is a wholesouled family man, and has not been shackled by this contemptible, if not criminal, modern fatihion fad of no children or one child t-r two. He has a family of ten living children: Ammon H.

OATHARINK KHKIDER MOIMA Catharine Kroidcr, daughter of Jacob, of Snltz Creek, married Isaac Mumma. b. in 1809. Ho was a farmer noar Campholltown andjater retired in Campbelltown. They wore Monnonites.

Isaac was a largo, well proportioned man. He stood six foot in height and weighed 210 pounds, His wife had tho same weight. Ho was roputod in his day to bo the strongest man in Lebanon county. Ho would take one barrel of flour and stand it on another. Then he would lift tho third barrel and stand It on I ho second one, II was a puzzle to an ordinary niiin how to got the uppermost barrel hack on tho floor.

In tho autumn of 17.12 Lonhart Mumma arrived In thn Pejiuea settlement of Mennonites. Whether he was the ancestor of tho Lebanon county Mummas wo know not. Mum- mas went from Lancaster county down into the Valley of Virginia. Elder HenJ. Franklin Moomnw it Is there spelled) of near iMinoke, Virginia, was a leader among tho Brethren of the South, and through his efforts largely the Southern Congress exempted the Brethren, with the payment of a JiJOO tax, from military service.

But on the battlefield he was an angel of mercy to the wounded soldier, whether clad in blue or gray. His biographer says the name is French. Not a few French were found among the Mon- nonites. Tho Forney family is also of French origin and Mennonite. Jacob Mumma on August 23, 1746, received a warrant for 100 acres of land In Lebanon township.

This land joined tho present, farm of John Henry Gingrich, at Ml. Pleasant. Michael Bachinan had bought over 400 acres here, in 1740, and in 1747 sold about one-half of it to Yost Gingrich. The survey states that Gingrich's land ran by land of Jacob Mumma. But what became the Mumma homestead was some distance farther west.

The Burk- holders and the Mummas united in laying out a cemetery on the Hue between the farms of each, the Mum- mas being to the west, farm now owned by Peter Shenk, of Campbelltown. This cemetery, BO densely overgrown as to' be almost impenetrable, however, yielded up some secrets to our efforts. The following inscriptions we could read: Jacob Mumma, h. June 12, 1767; d. Jan.

The Landis records were received largely from tho Immediate families. ANNA KHKIDKR IM BOURN After thn Revolution and after wo had miido a final adjustment with Great Britain in tho War of 1812, tho country began to dovolop, to take on now lifo. In tho church tho Sunday school, direct study of God's Word (or all, breaking tho shackles of undue human authority In catechetical Instruction, domnnding direct touch with God's thoughts on an equal footing for all. Brothrentsm war, gaining tho. victory of self-assertion.

A necessary accompaniment of this freo access to God's Word, without any man's views road In, was the church paper, an open of freo discussion, a toleration for the other man's view. It wns never in- cut.tlw pre- tended by the Creator that should live nnto himself, aM Si can stand faultless In the he has duly considered the tl of his fellows. Brethsenlsm born in Germany, but had ed out in Its entirety. nlte with his detestation for IfifaBt baptism and the Quaker KrttK.Mi^ Inner light were essential panlments of this Brethrenteftfj Ilt8" purest religion that ever entfcfed, Pennsylvania, God'a holy of dtt the American continent, in othef words, it was the Lamb standing Mt. Zion.

But strange to say, these! people got their eyes off the Laffitt and began to put their religion ill their customs, their dress, etc. And stranger still, the Brethren evolved from the most enlightened antism of Germany, borrowed Quaker and Mennonite customs and lodged their religion therein. Rut why all this in anlntroductlBO to a sketch of Anna Kreider Irnbo- den?
