"Caspar Wagener, of Ober-Langneundorf, was in 1719 cited several times to appear for instruction

given by the Jesuits. In 1727 he was married by the priest to Anna______________________________ , and promised to bring
up his children in the Catholic faith. He passed through the trials of the Jesuit mission, probably had his children, Christopher and Anna Rosina, baptized into the Catholic faith, and fled to Goerlitz in the winter or spring of 1736, and later to Berthelsdorf. Before the migration of 1737 he was killed, the daughter, Anna Rosina, died, and David was born. The widowed mother with her two sons, Christopher and David, fled to America, arriving at Philadelphia, Pa. in the ship, `St. Andrew Galley,' John Stedman, master, Sept. 26, 1737. The Wagener families mentioned in connection with the Jesuit mission lived in Harpersdorf and Langneundorf, and were firm, resolute, and fearless Schwenkfelders. Their given names were Caspar, Friedrich, Heinrich, David, Regina, Melchior, and George. Anna Wagener and her two sons settled in Worcester Twp., Montg. Co., Pa."

they are buried was purchased by David Wagener from the estate of William Penn. The tombstone was erected Oct. 13, 1881, and contains this inscription:

"Beneath this marble are deposited the remains of DAVID WAGENER ESQ.. late of the borough of Easton, one of the associate Judges of Northampton County, born in Silesia, Germany, May 24, A.D. 1736, and departed this life May 9, 1796, aged 59 years, 11 months, and 15 days.

David Deshler (1736-1796), the father of John Adam Deshler, was a son of Adam and Apolonia Deshler. He was a member of the Committee of Correspondence of Northampton County, Pa. He also served as Commissary and when the Continental army was in extreme need, advanced money for supplies. References showing that Col. David Deshler was a Commissary in the Revolution will be found in Colonial Records of Pa., Vol. 12, p 46'0; Vol. .13, p 109; also in Pa. Archives, 1779-1781, Vol. 8, pp 300, 517,697,721. [For further data re Deshler Family, cf. Hist. Lehigh Co., Pa., 1914, pp 2-234 sqq.]

"An order was drawn on the Treasurer in favour of Mr. Charles Deshler, for the sum of £1,000, of the money emitted by an act of the General Assembly, passed the 25th day of March last, to be by him paid to Colonel David Deshler [father of John Adam Deshler], Commissioner of Purchases for the County of Northampton, for purchasing supplies for the use of the Army; to be charged to Colonel Jacob Morgan, Jun'r, Superintendent, &c., and deducted out of an order granted him the fourteenth instant."

"Two orders were drawn on the Treasurer in favor of Mr. David Deshler, one for the sum of three thousand and ninety-seven pounds thirteen shillings and two pence, State money emitted by act of Assembly of the seventh day of April, 1781; and the other for the sum of four hundred and one pounds eight shillings and one half penny specie, balance of his account as Commissioner of Purchases in the County of Northampton."

He was a man of sound judgment and great decision of character, and amassed a large estate. He was an Associate Judge of Northampton County, Pa., for about forty-two years, and it is said that in that time no bond was ever taken in court for which the sureties proved insufficient.

In the will of David Wagener, probated Mar. 7, 1854, we find the following items: "To my daughter, Sabina, $1700 for kindness shown to her mother and me to be in trust for her; she is also to get $300 more than any of the other children, and to have the right to dispose of the same if without issue, and if not disposed of to revert to her brothers and sisters; she is also to have all household furniture.

Michael Butz was born at Walter's Mill along the Bushkill; he was in the store business, and later engaged in the milling business. He was one of the most prominent of Easton's business men. [Easton Express.]

Michael Butz was for a time in the mercantile business with his brother Jacob; in 1827 he purchased the old homestead and operated the mill in connection with his store; in 1837 he engaged in the woolen manufacturing business. He retired from the mercantile business in 1856, and from milling in 1870. He was a member of the Union Guards from 1816 to 1829. Mr. Butz was a man of unusually wise judgment, keen foresight, public spirit and enterprise; and was an efficient, considerate and sympathetic leader. He was a member of the town council for many years. "He was such a hard smoker that when he and a friend adjourned to the kitchen to take a sociable chat the room would soon be so full of smoke as to make it appear as if the building had taken fire." [Easton Argos, 1889.]

David Butz was a lumber dealer; served in Union Army during Civil War. Samuel Butz was a shirt manufacturer. [Condit, p 203.]

David W. Deshler was born in Allentown, Pa., and went to Columbus, Ohio, in 1817. In August of that year he built a two room frame house. It is interesting to note that the present Hotel Deshler, owned by a grandson, Mr. John G. Deshler, stands on the site of this home; its exact location Mr. Deshler recently marked by placing a gold tablet on a column in the lobby of the hotel.

For the last thirty-seven years of his life, David W. Deshler was a banker in Columbus, where he became one of the leading financiers. Coming to Columbus when it was little more than a village, David Deshler may rightly be regarded as one of its early citizens, who by their struggles, privations, and enterprise helped to make it a rich and prosperous city. In addition to becoming a prominent banker, Mr. Deshler was one of the most respected citizens of the city, and upon his death the bankers of Columbus passed the following resolution:

"Resolved: That in the life and character of Mr. Deshler we recognize those qualities of head and heart which cause a man to be respected and loved by his fellow citizens. As a banker, he was prompt, accurate in judgment, frank, ready to assume all proper responsibility, and faithful to the interest confided in him. He was sympathetic and kind to those who applied to him in their necessities, and ready to deal liberally with the misfortunes, and even leniently with the faults of others; and the success of his business life shows the wisdom of his conduct. To young men he was an encouraging and true friend, and to the old a wise and beneficent counsellor.—In all his business career, he was a man of unquestioned integrity and unblemished honor. As a citizen, Mr. Deshler was enterprising and public spirited. Proud of the city, he encouraged and assisted in her public improvements; gave his countenance and support to all her institutions, and cheerfully bore his share of the public burdens, and contributed to her charities. As a neighbor, he was cheerful, hopeful, intelligent, and friendly, `with charity for all and malice towards none.' "

David W. Deshler belonged to a family that came from Germany to America before 1723, and settled in Allentown, Pa., in which State he was born in January, 1792. In Henry's History of the

1510 GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE SCHWENKFELDER FAMILIES

Lehigh Valley, we find the following notice of his grandfather, David Deshler, and his great-grandfather, Adam Deshler:

"In looking over the names of the early residents of Allentown we find that of David Deshler, whose father, Adam Deshler, was among the first settlers at Egypt, Pa., in the upper part of North Whitehall township, where he arrived about the year 1730. In 1782, he owned four houses and lots in Allentown. Soon after he came here he purchased the mill property at the Little Lehigh Creek from Rothrock. During the Revolutionary war, he became one of the most prominent persons in Northampton county. He acted as commissary of supplies for the army, and with John Arndt, Esq., (also a commissary, and his colleague) in 1780, when the Treasury of the United States, as well as the State of Pennsylvania, had no funds, paid and advanced monies out of his own private means. This act in itself must endear his memory to every true American. In the petition of the 10th of October, 1763, his name appears as one of the defenders of the town at the time of the threatened massacre by the Indians, and we may infer that he, as the wealthiest inhabitant of the place, had the only gun fit for service. (We are informed by the report of Colonel Burd to Governor Hamilton that there were but three in the town, and two of these not fit for service.)"

"Philip Mixsell, son of Philip who was born in Lancaster Co., Pa., had five sisters and four brothers; the youngest sister died at the age of seventy, the youngest brother at the age of seventy-two, the father at eighty-five, and one brother died aged ninety-two years. Philip Mixsell is said to have never been sick, and had but three months' schooling. He came to Easton at the age of thirteen years and became

GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE SCHWENKFELDER FAMILIES 1511

a partner of Judge Wagener, who manufactured flour and transported it to Philadelphia on Durham boats. In 1720 Peter Schuyler was the richest man, but Wagener became wealthier." [Condit.]

"Philip Mixsell died in his ninety-fourth year, his mind unclouded to the last. In his day he was one of the most efficient and energetic citizens. He was engaged in the mercantile business under the name of `Burket and Mixsell' ; no one filled a larger space in financial and social circles. His disposition was mild and gentle; he had good judgment and was temperate in every respect. In early life he was rich and influential; in his later years he was overtaken by reverses, financial embarrassment and insolvency." [Easton Express, 1870.]

"The record of the Mixsell family begins with Philip Mixsell, born in Conestoga Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa., November 23, 1731, died in Northampton Co., Pa., May 13, 1817. He was a nephew of Jacob Mixsell of Leacock Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa., who came from Germany in the ship Mortonhouse, which arrived at Phila., Pa., August 24, 1728." [Mixsell and Allied Families.]

"I made the acquaintance of Mr. C__ , a gentleman residing at Easton, Pa. In the course of a pleasant

conversation he exhibited to me a card on which was written in a neat, plain hand, the following address:

Philip Mixsell

Easton, Pa.

92 years, 10th of March, 1869.

On the reverse side of the card was written, in the same hand, the following words: `Whatever may be said of the Bible, I am sure no sane man can deny that it is the best book to guide man towards practical virtue and true holiness that has ever appeared in the world.' This remarkable old man is quite vigorous and is well known in Easton. He never received more than three months' schooling in his lifetime; he has been extensively engaged in business in Easton and has always been a staunch democrat."

David D. Wagener was a merchant, but in early life turned his attention to politics, and became a leader in the party to which he belonged. He served as a member from Northampton Co. in the State Legislature during the administration of Governor Wolf. He occupied a seat in Congress for four successive terms, from 1832 to 1840. On retiring from political life he was elected President of the Easton Bank, an office which he filled with acceptance to the community until the period of his death, which took place on the first day of October, 1860. [Gen. Rec. of 1879.]

"David D. Wagener was Captain of a Company of Cadets and read the Declaration of Independence in 1828. He built a mill on the Bushkin and engaged in the milling and mercantile business for many years. In 1816 he was captain of the Easton Union Guard; in 1828 he was elected to the Pa. Assembly; twice re-elected; elected to Congress in 1832; re-elected till 1839, when he retired from active life. He was a member of the 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th Congresses. In 1852 he was elected President of the Easton Bank which office he held till his death. The present Court House stands on ground donated by him."

"He was not only a good man, but a useful man. He was a kind and faithful friend, a safe counsellor, an indulgent and affectionate father, and an upright man in all relations of life. He was ever plain and simple in his habits, familiar and social in his intercourse with his fellow-men, yet indulgent in his bearing. He was constitutionally an honest man, and his word was his bond." [Condit 195-Weaver.]

"Mrs. Matilda Butz Chidsey, widow of Henry Chidsey and one of Easton's oldest, best known, and most philanthropic women, died last night at her home here. She was eighty-two years of age last May.

Probably no other local woman was as widely known as Mrs. Chidsey, and probably no other woman has done as much for charitable purposes in this city in several generations. She was an active church worker in the Reformed Church. She received her education in Easton and later attended the Moravian College for Women, at Bethlehem, being one of the oldest alumnae of that institution. It was at her home in this city that the alumnae association of that college was reorganized after the Civil War.

Deeply interested in missionary work, about thirteen years ago she took a trip to the Reformed mission fields in China and Japan, and on her return delivered lectures on the conditions as she found them in the oriental countries, and through her efforts enlisted powerful support for these mission fields of the denomination, and was always recognized as one of the foremost women workers of that church in the country.

1516 GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE SCHWENKFELDER FAMILIES

In her thirty-two years' work among the little children she became the author of a number of excellent `Helps for the Beginners' Department.'

She was a member of the advisory board of. the Bethany Orphans' Home, at Womelsdorf, Pa., and was also a member of the ladies' auxiliary of the Phoebe Deaconcess and Old Folks Home at Allentown, Pa., both of which are under the jurisdiction of the Reformed Church.

But her activities were not all confined to denominational work, as she was also identified with nearly every charity of a local nature. She was one of the original members of the board of managers of the Easton Home for Friendless Children, and remained a member of this board up to the time of her death. She was deeply concerned in the welfare of the Easton Home for Friendless Children and of the Easton Hospital, and a benefactor of all these charitable institutions, and her private benefactions were beyond number."

"David D. Horn, one of the oldest residents of Easton, died at 9 o'clock Tuesday night, at his home, No. 1521 Butler Street, of a complication of diseases incidental to old age. He had lived retired for many years, but in his earlier days he was a prominent contractor and builder, having been at times connected with his brother, Reuben H. Horn, and Lewis H. Mattes, in various operations. The largest contract the firm engaged in was that of building the present court house. The deceased was well known to the community and always bore a most excellent reputation for business uprightness, strict honesty and high Christian character. He was esteemed by all who knew him and was a valuable man in the community until he ceased to take active interest in local affairs.

David Horn was the son of the late Charles and Elizabeth Horn and the grandson of the long deceased Adam and Deborah Deshler. He is survived by his wife, Anna M., who was the daughter of the late John and Catherine Cooper, and by the following children—Martin L., Alfred J., Lewis L., George D., Carrie H., wife of George E. Sciple and Ida M. Horne." [Newspaper clipping furnished by Mrs. Florida Heitman.]

It is quite evident owing to notes on the margin of the page, written in my father's handwriting, that she was married to a Martin. His notes refer to her as `aunt Martin' and her death is recorded as Elizabeth Bittenbender (Martin) at Newark, N. J., Nov. 17, 1875. Of course it is only a guess, but in my opinion Elizabeth Bittenbender 1811-1875, being the first child of Samuel Bitten-bender and Mary Wagener Deshler, in all probability was named after Samuel Bittenbender's mother, and that as Conrad and Elizabeth Bittenbender are recorded as sponsors in baptism to Elizabeth Bit-tenbender they were Samuel Bittenbender's father and mother."

John Green Deshler was born in a two-room frame house in Columbus, Ohio, the site of the present Hotel Deshler. A golden tablet in the lobby of the hotel marks the spot where the little house stood.

President Tyler appointed Mr. Deshler District Attorney of Iowa, soon after his marriage to Miss Faulkner of Hamilton, Butler Co., and their migration to that state. From Iowa Mr. Deshler moved to Buffalo and engaged in the commission business. He was elected to the legislature for several terms, after which he returned to Columbus, Ohio.

Although Mr. Deshler was very fond of children, he had none of his own. While he was an official of the Franklin National Bank of Columbus it served as a gathering place for the children of the neighborhood. He was well known by all the youngsters of that city, and frequently he was "Uncle John" to a large number of them.

Not many months before his death he bought a block of houses, painted and refitted them, and gave the use of them, rent free, to those of his old neighbors and friends who had been less favored in life than he. Mr. Deshler was one of the oldest, wealthiest, and most valuable citizens of Columbus, Ohio, and the entire community mourned when he died suddenly of apoplexy on the 8th of January, 1878.

A PATRIOTIC SERVICE PERFORMED BY WILLIAM G. DESHLER

Mr. Deshler was a prominent banker, and was intimately acquainted with Salmon P. Chase, then Secretary of the Treasury, from early boyhood. On April 14, 1864, Mr. Deshler received a confidential telegram from Mr. Chase asking him to meet the latter at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York. Arriving in New York the next day, Mr. Deshler met Mr. Chase in his private room and learned from the latter how the credit of the national government was impaired by the action of certain so called "pseudo patriots."

These facts are gathered from the memoirs of Mr. William G. Deshler which are now in the possession of his son, Mr. John G. Deshler, also a prominent banker of Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Deshler states in his memoirs that during the administration of Secretary Chase, he had frequent conferences with him, both through correspondence and in person; so that he was quite familiar with the conditions

1522 GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE SCHWENKFELDER FAMILIES

of his department and with the wide extension of his operations in consequence of the breaking out of the rebellion. During his conference with Mr. Chase the latter stated:

"We are confronted here in New York, on every side, by the rankest treason. Men professing loyalty—with our flag at their desk—are secretly engaged in trying to break down the credit of the government by speculation in stocks and gold. They have a chain of operations, reaching from here to Richmond, by way of Montreal and Louisville. They have given the State Department great trouble in our strained foreign relations. The thing I am interested in directly and which has worried me, is that they have thwarted my negotiations with a syndicate of German bankers for a loan of two hundred million dollars."

As he related the details of his negotiations his eyes snapped, his tone was bitter, his feelings intense to the point of vengeance. He said with emphasis, "That conspiracy must be crushed and the gang punished. I want you to take the matter in charge, make your own plans which we will talk over this evening."

Handing Mr. Deshler a slip of paper he said, "Here is a list of that gang, and you will be surprised to see some of the names on it—honorable men, forsooth!" he said bitterly, "yet that list is reliable, as I am assured by the Secret Service Department."

Upon scanning the list Mr. Deshler was surprised to see many of the names, as he knew some of the men personally and others by reputation as being among the best businessmen in New York. He thought to himself, "Why don't they shoot these men as they do our boys down South?" At this particular time the outlook of the war was not very pleasant; the Union army was massed to protect the capitol-the battles of the Wilderness were fought a few days later-copperheads were rampant throughout the North; gold was soaring in price which meant greenbacks were going down; speculation in stocks was so wild that every evening in the lobbies of the New York Hotels were found crowds or mobs of howling brokers plying their trade; bonds and paper money were issued to pay war expenses; then as now many soldiers were called out and the ultra-democratic papers were objecting to the draft.

After a good deal of consideration and reflection Mr. Deshler worked out a plan which he submitted to Mr. Chase. This was the plan as he outlined it to the Secretary.

"If I can sell a few millions of gold a little under the market rate, to be paid for in greenbacks, no checks on the banks or certificates of deposit to be taken, greenbacks will become scarce, the banks will be alarmed, they will call in loans or demand increased margins as the market for gold and stocks declines. Then I will find out the `Specialties' protected by the men in this list and look after them on the Stock Exchange; also I will offer a premium for greenbacks to be paid for with checks on the banks. In other words, my gold business will be done on a money basis only. Of course I must employ brokers and pay their commissions, but I will get the right kind of brokers—and all of their operations in stocks will be by bank checks. Thus the government will be buying its debts in the shape of greenbacks and paying them in gold, which it has in the Subtreasury; the law certainly allows that, but it doesn't allow government funds to be used in stock operations. The gold and stock operations must not be mixed, but can be cooperative in producing the result desired. The stock part I must handle myself, and it must be left to me. The gold business will be done through the Sub-treasury where secrecy must be maintained for a short time at least."

Secretary Chase approved this plan of operation and it was agreed that they would meet at the office of the Subtreasurer of the United States the next day. Upon arriving at the subtreasurer's office Mr. Deshler met not only Mr. Chase but Horace Greeley, whom he described as "a rare picture with a big loose coat, his pockets stuffed with newspapers, his necktie shifted around with the knot under his ear, and a big brimmed hat set back on his head, making him look like a belated cherub with a misfit glory on."

Upon being introduced to the Subtreasurer, Mr. Chase said, "Mr. Deshler wants to use some money during the next few days, and you will let him have what he wants, taking his receipt, which will be your sufficient voucher." The Subtreasurer was so astonished that he said, "Do I understand that your order is unlimited?" "Yes," replied the Secretary. "Will you kindly put your order in writing?" asked the Subtreasurer, which Mr. Chase accordingly did and handed it to him. After the Secretary had left, the Subtreasurer said to Mr. Deshler, "Is the Secretary a relative of yours?" "No," replied Mr. Deshler, "but how much gold have you on hand?" The treasurer gave him the number of millions and muttered to himself, "Remarkable." Upon leaving. Mr. Deshler asked him to have a considerable sum of money in bags ready for delivery when he would call upon him for them.

Mr. Deshler then went to some of the prominent bankers of New York in whom he had perfect confidence, and received from them letters of indorsement guaranteeing any contracts that he should make. Armed with this letter and with the backing of the Treasurer of the United States, and with his own individual means used in the purchase of stocks, he went into the market to sell gold at a discount

GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE SCHWENKFELDER FAMILIES 1523

and to buy greenbacks at a price above the market price. The result was that after spending several million dollars in gold in the purchase of greenbacks and selling several million dollars in gold below the price of the raiders, the projects of the gold conspirators were defeated. He kept feeding the market with gold and purchasing greenbacks at higher prices every day. Greenbacks rose and gold went back, which was the purpose desired by Mr. Chase. The financial condition of the country became such that Mr. Chase readily disposed of his war bonds. The gamblers in gold discovered on the second day that it was government gold that was being thrown on the market and of course that created a tremendous panic, for they well knew that with the government as a competitor their end was in sight.

Reference to newspapers and financial journals of that day will give an account of the panic which ensued. One paper states that the money market was so much disturbed that blocks of stock were thrown overboard at almost any price; that one per cent interest a day was paid; that banks would not pay out greenbacks; that legal tenders were worth two per cent more than certified checks ; that a large number of bull operators were broken. These operators that were crushed were members of the gang that had conspired to cripple the United States government in its most critical period.

Mr. Deshler went to Washington and reported to Secretary Chase what he had done. The Secretary, of course, was greatly pleased and offered to remunerate Mr. Deshler for his services. However, Mr. Deshler declined to receive any pay and only accepted a draft of $123.93 for his expenses.

That Secretary Chase was well pleased with Mr. Deshler's accomplishment is manifested in the letter which he wrote him dated April 26,1864. As stated above, Mr. Deshler declined to receive any compensation for his services, but he was given as a souvenir a cane, all the materials of which were made from the wreck of the "Merrimac" which had been blown up by her rebel commander the morning after the capture of the "Norfolk." It is stated that but four of these canes were made; one of them was presented to President Lincoln, one to the Smithsonian Institute, and two to Mr. Chase, one of the latter coming into the possession of Mr. Deshler, and which now reposes in the museum of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society. This cane bears the inscription:

"Salmon P. Chase `Merrimac'

to April, 1864

William G. Deshler 88/64."

The inscription "88/64" means that gold went to "88" in 1864. The plan of the conspirators was to send gold to 200 and greenbacks down to fifty cents. This plan was successfully defeated through the efforts of Mr. Deshler. [ Vid. Ohio Archaeological and Historical Quarterly, Vol. XXI X, No. 4.]

Charles Dunham Deshler was born at Easton, Pa., March 1, 1819. He entered the drug business in New Brunswick, N. J., from which he retired in 1859 and engaged in literary work, first on the "Jersey City Standard," and later on the "Newark Advertiser." He returned to New Brunswick in 1868, and became connected with Harper's Magazine, having charge of the "Editor's Round Table." He wrote and compiled "Selections from Chaucer," "Afternoons with the Poets," and "A Glimpse of Seventy-Six."

Mr. Deshler was an Associate Judge of Middlesex County, N. J., and the first school superintendent of that county and took a prominent part in organizing the county school system. He was postmaster of New Brunswick for one term, and was instrumental in founding the Middlesex Gas Company and the Middlesex Savings Bank. Mr. Deshler had a large and valuable library, principally historical in character.

William Hackett was born in Easton on the ninth day of April, 1812. He was the son of the late James Hackett, who when but seven years of age left his home at Santa Cruz, one of the West India Islands, and came to Philadelphia, where he learned the trade of a hatter. While yet a young man he came to Easton in 1800 and made this his home. Here he engaged in the hat business and at one time was proprietor of the old Schortz Hotel, now the United States Hotel.

When yet a young man, William Hackett gave evidence of possessing those rare traits of character and ability which in later years served to win the respect and admiration of all who knew him, and gave him a place in the front rank of prominent and successful business men. Mr. Hackett began his business career by reading law in the office of the late Hon. James Madison Porter, who served as Secretary of War under President Tyler. In 1839 he was admitted to the Northampton County Bar. Mr. Hackett wrote an elegant hand, and this fact, no doubt, had much to do with his receiving the appointment in 1839 as Prothonotary of the county, which office he held for three terms of three years each. The first two terms were appointments by Gov. Porter, a brother of the late Hon. James Madison Porter. The third term Mr. Hackett was elected by the vote of the people, that being the first time the voters of the county were allowed by law to make the selection of a Prothonotary. The records of that office, kept during the nine years the deceased officiated as Prothonotary, are the admiration of all who have had an opportunity to see them. They are arranged in that systematic, thorough business way which characterized Mr. Hackett, and penned in a style that only few, if any, can excel.

Soon after the expiration of his third term as Prothonotary, Mr. Hackett, in 1851, was employed as a clerk at the old Easton Bank, now the Easton National Bank. Here, as well as elsewhere, his fine business qualifications were recognized and in 1852 he was appointed cashier to succeed James Sinton.

1526 GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE SCHWENKFELDER FAMILIES

In 1873 Mr. Hackett was chosen President of the bank, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late John Davis. When Mr. Hackett was elected as the bank's President, his son, William Hackett, Jr., was chosen as cashier, to fill the vacancy in that office occasioned by the promotion of the father. Thus it will be seen that Mr. Hackett, who entered the old Easton Bank as a clerk, gradually, by merit alone, worked his way up until he enjoyed the proud distinction of being its honored head. Mr. Hackett was the fifth President of the bank which unquestionably owes a great deal of its success to his efficiency and skill. He was prominently connected with various business enterprises, and for years served as treasurer and one of the managers of the Delaware Bridge Company of Easton. He was also a prominent and active member of the First Presbyterian Church of this city.

Mr. Hackett in conjunction with J. Madison Porter and others secured the charter of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Some years ago Miss Elizabeth Porter, the owner of "Porter Block," in her will made him trustee of her estate valued at between $80,000 and $100,000. The faith she had in Mr. Hackett may be inferred from the fact that she gave him entire control of this vast estate without asking a cent of security; and events have proved that her confidence in Mr. Hackett was not misplaced.

Hon. William A. Porter was born in Huntingdon Co., Pa. After he was graduated from Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., he read law and was admitted to the Philadelphia bar on April 26, 1842. During the same year he was appointed sheriff of Phila. Co. by the Governor. This appointment necessitated the taking of testimony in order to establish Mr. Porter's age, as there was doubt in many minds as to whether he was of legal age and therefore capable of holding office. On the expiration of his term as sheriff he was appointed deputy prosecuting attorney of Pa., and while acting in this capacity he proved himself an excellent criminal lawyer. In 1855, Mr. Porter was elected city solicitor, and on January 20, 1858, he was appointed a Justice of the Supreme Court of Pa. From the expiration of his term as a justice until his death in 1886, Judge Porter remained in active practice of his profession. In June, 1874, President Grant appointed him one of the judges of the Court of Commissioners of Alabama Claims, in which capacity he served until the Court was dissolved in December, 1876. He also served as an inspector of the Eastern State Penitentiary.

Judge Porter was one of the most prominent and esteemed members of the bar. His sterling qualities won him the respect and confidence of his colleagues. Sound judgment was his chief characteristic; he was one of the few men who never made a business blunder.

At the close of his "Biographical Reminiscences," which Judge Porter wrote a short time before his death, he says: "I cannot bring these reminiscences to a close without recording here my sense of the Divine goodness in prolonging my life so far that nearly all the objects which I could reasonably have hoped to accomplish have been in some measure attained, and finally in giving me a good hope that when called away from the scenes of this world, I shall be able to enter the Heavenly Kingdom through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ."

George R. Shultz was born May 3, 1845, in Newark, N. J. He spent his life in telegraphic and cable work, beginning at the age of nine years as messenger boy. He was a boyhood friend of Thomas A. Edison, when both were telegraph operators in an office in Newark, N. J., and enjoyed his friendship throughout his entire life. Mr. Edison came to Lee County, Florida, and located in Fort Myers through the solicitation of Mr. Shultz. During the Civil War Mr. Shultz enlisted in the Union Army as a drummer boy, but his brother had him discharged on account of being under age. However his four brothers enlisted and served during the war. It has always been Mr. Shultz's regret that he was unable to serve his country and flag during the time of war.

Mr. Shultz came to Punta Rassa in 1867. At the time of his death he was a retired cable manager, residing in Fort Myers, Fla.

At the time of the sinking of the Maine which led to the Spanish American War, Mr. Shultz had charge of telegraph office at Key West and he was the first operator in the U. S. to receive the news that the Maine had been sunk.

One child: Lorraine Earnhardt, b 1908.

Harvie Earnhardt Heitman was born at Lexington, N. C., where he lived until he was about sixteen years of age. He was educated in private schools of that city, and after finishing his education he went to Fort Myers, Lee Co., Fla., in 1888. There he was employed for several years by his great uncle, who conducted a general store in connection with a small bank. The knowledge and experience which Mr. Heitman secured in this business later resulted in his becoming one of the foremost business men and bankers of Lee County.

The building up of Fort Myers was a project which commanded Mr. Heitman's constant and untiring efforts. Through his influence prominent people established homes there. The first brick building in Lee County was erected by him; he later made extensive additions to this structure which comprised an entire business block. His interest in the growth of Fort Myers did not stop at building, however, for he also financed the erection of the first sidewalk in that town, and introduced a system of electricity for which he paid all charges for a year without any expense to the city. In order to promote the industries of the town, Mr. Heitman had invested in many companies whose business was to boost Fort Myers. He was president and director of the Bank of Fort Myers, president of the H. E. Heitman Company, president of the Lee County Packing Company, president of the Mutual Realty Company, president of the Bonita Land Company, president of the Fort Myers Southern Railroad Company, etc.

Mr. Heitman was one of Fort Myers' most valuable citizens, and the city mourned deeply when he died of cancer on the 17th of April, 1922, after an illness lasting two years.

Mrs. Florida Heitman supplied the Editor with valuable data regarding the Deshler and Bitten-bender families, and he hereby expresses his gratitude for this assistance which enabled him to insert such complete records of these families in this book.

hem Steel Company as an attaché of the general superintendent's office, and was assigned to duty in the sales department. He advanced rapidly, and as a representative of that department in New York City he completed so fine a record that in 1909 he was promoted to the highest position in the sales department of the company, that of general sales agent. For six years he was head of the sales department, then in 1915 he was elected a member of the Board of Directors and vice-president of the company. When later the Dietrich and Harvey Machine Company at Baltimore was absorbed by the Bethlehem Steel Company Mr. Mixsell was made president of that company, an office which he filled until he died. In all the positions he was called upon to fill he displayed high ability and in his private life honor and integrity distinguished him. He was a man of genial, free, and generous nature and one whom to know was to love and esteem. He was one of the strong men of the Bethlehem Steel Company, and in warmest eulogy his associates of that company testify to his worth.
