John master, from Rotterdam, who landed at Philadelphia September 11, were Johannes Hottf-l, his wife, Margaret, and rive children -Curba, Anna, Jerick and Johannes. These constitute the ancestors of the whole Hottel family in America. Driven from their native country on account of religious persecutions, they came to America, where they could worship unmolested and raise their children in the faith they desired and believed. This family settled in the nortn-ern part of Bucks county. By thrl't and industry they acquired lands and homes, so that the name Hottel fin-pears on the tax records a few years after their advent.

They became honest, faithful and patriotic citizens. Frederick 1'ottel and Philip Hottel were soldiers in the revolutionary war. They served as privates in the Northampton county militia, Nicholas Kern, Lieutenant Colonel, and Peter Koken, Captain. The early Hottels wore principally ensaged in farming, winding and weaving. They may not have been so brilliant nor so wealthy, but they left, to us the heritage of a good name and a noble spirit which is better than heritage of lands and gold.

old homestead is still in existence. From these two brothers. Michael and Samuel, are the descendants of the Hottel family, as known at this time. They are scattered over tne entire country, throughout seventeen states, from the Atlantic to the in the District of Columbia, Alaska and Panama. About 1825 Maria Kaufman, a grandchild of Michael Hottel, having married John Moyer, moved to Indiana and was the tirst one to leave the home founded and state adopted by the ancestors.

She was the mother of a large family. Her two great-greatgrandchildren, Edith ivian Woods, born July 22, 1913, and Lawrence Al-via Woods, lioin January 8, 1915, are the beginning of a new generation, the tenth. Their home is in center-ville, Ind. On account of the scattered condition of the Hottel family it developed that there are very few who possessed knowledge of or were acquainted wit hmore than perhaps ten or twelve of their relatives outside of their own immediate family. To overcome this condition a family reunion was held at Waldhei Park on Thursday, July 29, 1915.

On account of the sultry and threatening conditions of the weather the attendance was not as large as viis anticipated. Al Edward Andrews, aged 21 years, of Weatherly, attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself near the heart, but the bullet penetrated the body an inch above it. There is very-little hope for his recovery. It is believed that jealousy impelled him. $18.00 ingly well when worn with the jacket.
