A SCItAP OF HISTORY
FKOM SUSQUEHANNA TOV7NSU1P.
By S. G. Dressier.
The first settlers in that portion of Jun
itta cannty, now embraced within the lim
its of Susquehanna township, settled on the
banks of the Susquehanna river, about the
time of the revolutionary war. Among the
title papers of that section are found a few
ancient documents, which weie executed
nncler the re'.pn of King George III.
A certain Thomas McKce appears to
have owned a largo scope ofland from Mc
Kee's Halt Falls in Snyder county, down
a'.ons tho river including a portion of what
is now Snsqnchanna township. McKce
old out iu farms to such as came In with
ths intention of settling upon and improv
ing the lands.
The farm latsly owned and occupied by
Hon. Jonathan TVeiser, cow deceased, was
one of the first settled ; it was settled by
a certain John Witruer, a Pennsylvania
Pntchtnau, from nine one r.f the lower
countios in this tate. II j was more f a
ciliar'y c;!:?d 'Hins", nr. slb.-evhtio-i of
Johsnnes the (ierman for John. Ilo was a
ra:c:-itcr tn? gospel of the Alt oroiiito
Church was blessed ith a sufficioncy of
tl is world's pnd to keep him abovo the
rearh of want, baiit a grist milt oa Mahon
tonso creek, which was a great accommo
dation to the csr!r settlers. The grist
mill was a fton? st.-neture, but the wear of
time at last fell too heavily upon it, as:d at
last having served its time and feneration,
it Md to give way and was substituted by
a Ia-g frame structure, a few rods further
down the creek, with improved nuchinery
erected some SO years ag by Mr. Weiscr.
Trsditioa hs itthit 'itlans'' tVitmer was
vary close in his dealings, end in many
ays a ery eccentric eld gentleman.
Some of hi quaint sayings are still quoted
among the people of that community, lie
raided a family of sons and daughters,
how iiiary the writer never learned: re
do know however, that some of hit descen
dants are still remaining in Juniata county,
and are numbered among our bett citisens.
He tad a brother, Abraham who lived
about a mite farther up the river, between
Hans" and McKeo's Half Falls, on what
was la'er tho Beshoir farm but is now
owned by J. B. Hall Esq. But thnt being
in Snyder county we pass it over.
Next in order are the Scachrists. There
were three bro tbers of them as far as the
writer knoweth. Ilenrv a!o setikd above
the mouth of Mihontonjro creek along the
river, thus leaving hi in ont of the scope cf
ur present writ-rg. Christian Searhrist
settled about on mile b.-liw tha mt::li of
tht crtok, improved bis iani' en 1 became
liko the Winners, a man who ok looked
upon In those days as be::ig wealthy. His
farm was tha same upon vrhich his son
Chris'i'.n S-?scl:rist lived r.lterwards, and
upon witch he d:id abcat I!) years ago at
an advanced. Tp'jn tha death cf his son
Christian S?escr;, the farm was divided
and sold. J::1ic Weiser becoming the
pcrchajer of t!;at portion wfih the build
ings on, and Jscr.b Wciser esq., bought
the other p.irt.
The o! 4 ?--chrits w. eve preat hnnters,
all kiu.tn of gnine being plet.ty iu those
days, they were never idle ; but v.henever
they desired reeujerat'on from, th? labors
f the farm end f rom clearing ta. virgin
soil cf itr. lnx'jr:.int f-row:h of timber to
bring it tmar cultivation, they would be
ure to xhon'.dsr their un'Tring rifles and
wend their way to tb woods after game.
Often hath tho wrier heard of the old peo
ple of the coiuuiunity, relate some of the
adventures in their hunting escurilor: s by
the SechrU's and a certain Andrew Mi.t
ower. There was another b'othtr Feter
Scachrit-t, who was as much if not more
noted as a tkiiiful hunter than his broibes.
It was iid by tha former genrat!on that
the olu Seaehrists were men of a rather
rough exterior, but had hearts that btat
waroJy for suffering humanity, that no
Seachrit w?nid permit it ta be said of him
that the i-j-ir was turned av.ay hungry or
rcpty from his door. There are ont a few
of the Sevehrist fa:nily nov retuaining in
the ci'Untv.
Other families soon followed those) card
ed, ai.d that portion of the township i nn
tl.ick'y settled by an intelligent people, but
wo pa's tliein over for the present, as we
derve, in s se.ies of arti les, merely to
as it wr.T, a glance at tiie first and
most froit'rcnt pioneers of each locality
in the iown!i:p, and shall there'oro direct
our rtt'i acay from the beautiful sceneries
of the farms along the Sjusqnehauna, and
in our next you may expect to hear from
us from the neighborhood of Oriental.
