; Upwarrk ol three hundred meui
lira of the Seboch Family gatbered
in : the grove ut Kreamer, Snyder
County, Pa., on Vedaesday, August
24, 1898, to hold their first family
Ro-union. lltpreseuUirives from
eight different states of the Union
were prewiit, viz: Pennsylvania,
! Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri;
Kansjw, Nebraska an J Texas. A
permanent organization -was effected
with the following officers:
Jacob Schoeh, of Philadelphia,
Pres.; Ira C. Schoeh, Seliu's Grove,
Secretary; Henry Schoeh, Seliu's
Grove, Treas.; Allen Boyer, of Chi
cago, III., and Ira C. Schoeh, Hi
toriaus. An executiveconimittee was elect
ed consisting of the President, Sec
retary and Treasurer, together with
Mr. Flovd Schoeh of St Louis, Mo.
and Mr. Leonard Schoeh of East
Leesport, Pa. It was decided to
hold next Reunion some time in 1S99.
The meeting was called to order
bv Ira C. Schoeh, of Selin's Grove,
the Secretary ot "The Matthias
Schoeh Family Association." Rev.
W. II. Schoeh, of New Berlin, then
oflered a fervent prayer, after which
Secretary Schoeh spoke substantially
as follows, giving as near as it was
possible to do a history of the family :
It la not our purnoM to-daj to give you a coo.
netted bistory or ibeHclioch Family as It U rep.
reiented In America. To do thli would require
more time and research tban we bare been able
to (rive to this nubjoet. We have endeavored to
do tbe boat we could. Uave no doubt there are
many errors, lr there are any persona In this
gathering who are able to correct aucb we hope
tbey will do no beioro leaving here, for soma
years the question ot a family association and
the making ol research into family history In
some systematic and connected way has been
discussed by different members ot tbe direct line
of Matthias School), but has never reached auy
definite form.
In the beglnulng of the year ! the offlcera
and members of the Lutheran and Reformed
congregations of Salem, snydor Co., Ha., deter,
rained to build a new church edifice upon the
site of tbe old brick church. As our blessings
only become valuab e when they be given to dis
appear, so this old church bulldlnggrew In value
In the eyes and minds of the oougregatlou when
they realized limits historic wulls were doomed
(o destructlou. Msny Interesting events bad
occurred within Its walls, and much that was
dear to tbe hearts of the people of that locality
clustered around that spot. I say to tbe people
of this '.oenl.tv, but I realize thut In tbls I am too
narrow, as many have gone from here and are
located air over the lat.d. whore eyes and minds
will often rnturn to tbe place that gave them
birth, with tender recollections, the younger
generations have grown up who refer with un
told Interest to tbe land of their fathers. Sorely
no couplet of the poet's creation has ever borne
more truth In Its rhythm than
"l.tves thero a man with soul so dead.
Who never to himself bath said :
This Is my own, my native laud."
I'pon research being marto Into tbe origin ot
the church It "fas found that John School!, with
others, was Instrumental In securing the origi
nal patent for the laud In 177(1; thut Manillas
Schoeh, together with his lumlly, were hiembers
of the congregation and contributors toward the
erection oftlie original log r.burch tvhU.li vas
built soon utter, and that when early In tbe
nineteenth century this log church became un.
tenable and anew building wa necessury, ,1a-
cob Schoeh was appointed and served as one of
the building committee, himself and wife being
memlters or the congregation. Ills family, with
a numerous contingent or the same name, lMh
also members of t ho ronxrcKut lou, while up to
tbe present time there always been descendants
of tbe line active In all the work of the church
Tbe members of the building committee, who
have put up the present handsome edifice, sug
gested that It would be a proper and fitting trlb.
ate to the Schoeh family. In Its local and church
connection, to have some memorial placed In
the new edifice. The Idea was a good one and
caught tbe feeling of some of the name In and
about the vicinity. Accordingly, ut the sugges
tion ol Messrs. Franklin J. and Henry Schoeh, a
preliminary nicellug was called ut the office ot
IraC, Scbocn.ln Seliu's Orove, ra., June SI, 1M7,
when the following persons were present:
Messis. F.J., Henry, Geo. J. and Ira C. Schoeh
Mrs. L. E. Pawing and Mrs. B. ?. Wagenseller.
A temporary organization was lormed and cir
culars ordered printed and sent out to all of tbe
name In tbe Immediate neighborhood to call a
meeting Aug. 14, 1W. Pursuant to tbe call a
p?rmnent organization was formed to be known
as "Tbe Matthias Hcboch Family Association,"
It was then determined to place lu tbe new
edifice being erected at salem, Smydor Ce., Pa.,
a "Henoch Memorial Window." The fol
lowing committee was appointed, vie
Henry Schoeh, Selin's Orove ; Michael and O.
Alfred Schoeh, Middleburg ; James Schoeh. New
Berlin : Henry Cook, V'lcksbsrg, and Ira C.
scbocb, Selin's Orove. This committee was au
thorized to select a design, eonlracl for the win'
dow and attend to all necessary business con
nected thorewith. various designs were pre
sented from which selection was made and tbe
window placed In tbe south wall of the church,
the most prominent one In the edifice. The de
sign la considered by all who have seen It aa a
very handsome one, representing the Ascension.

Tbe Matthias Scbocb Association, feeling that

Uvea night be complied and be preserved, and
that lbs bond of ilia brotherhood, though pro

MaUhlaa Schoeh was bora In Alsace Loral oe.
that much-disputed corner of Swltarrtand, Dee,
in lam. ho came to (mertea la the ablp -Ai
bany,r Robert Brown, master, landlna In Phila
delphia, September t, 174t. we and that oa tbe
same vessel among the list of passengers are
recorded tha names of John aad ValeaUne
Schoeh. We have been Informed through fam
ily tradition that MaUhlaa Sahoch was aoM to
serves redempuon pertod of six years to pay hla
paeaage. ramlly legend also says he came with
hla brothers, George aad John, and two sisters.
One of his slaters married a Mr. Spangler. the
other to a Mr. S-Utiglver, both reported to have
been ol the Tuloehocken district, Berks Oo., P,
Maltbhv. himself, la aala to have first settled
bere and that he moved to this location, then
Penns township, Cumberland Co,, about the year
IT), and that be acquired hla first lands by
trading a gno to a native Indian chief. Wheth
er tbls be correct or not we cannot roach, bat
he was known to hsve always been oa friendly
terms with the red men. At the time of the
great runaway, July, 17T, be was warned by a
friendly Indian chief coming to hla home after
nlghtfuli and urging him to take bis family
away, as he, tbe chief, could no longer be re
sponsible for tbe acUons of his people. MaUhlaa
and bis family were thus saved tbe dire conse
quences whleh befell some of his more luckless
neighbors. Tbe Stuck Massacre occurred Just
above this place. He took up bis first tract of
public land, called "Brabtreo," of 78 acres, aur
veyed on application, entered In tbe land office
August 5. 17M, aud another called ''Penusburg"
of 188 acres, 121 perches, wfih allowances of t
per cent, on both tracts, surveyed In pursuance
of two warrants and dated June 4. net, and
then took but tbe patent deed for the whole sue
acres June , 1790, paying IS pounds and 1
shillings for the first and si pounds and 17 shil
lings for the second tract, that including Interest
trom tbe time IbesppllcaUon waa made for the
warrant. He .ocated hla home Just west ol tbe
little village above us, now known aa Smith,
grove, on the south side ot the puolio road and
near wheietho old log foil still stands. Tbls
fort Is erroneously published In "The rorts of
Pennsylvania" aa the Hondrleks fort. The fort
was built by Matthias Schoeh as a refuge from
attacks by the Indians and Is a lew log building
with tu a-y plank floors of elght-lncb thickness
about seven feet from tbe ground with two
small openings In the second story, 8x12 Inches
on the nortb side, with only an entrance from
tbe outside to the second story ; the lower part
or thla building being used as a place of storage.
This land was never In the pouacsslon of the
Hendricks family. It ramulned the property of
Matthias schoeh until 1810, whonlt became the
property or his son, M ichael Schoeh, who, In 1813
old to ltousb, who, In 1X34 sold to Chas.
Keck, who has been the owner from that lime
to the proxent day, proving conclusively the
ror in Us being called the "Hendricks" furl
Hurtber. the west tract wastaken up by Peter
Uodslialk, while west of this tract waa the orig
inal Hendricks tract, e It Is unfortunate that
matters of family libtory should be thus er
roneously recorded, provins that ana family we
have been too cnrcless in tlio preservation , of
reccrds. ,

What Educates?
Time and monev are ol'ua waste'
in attending an inferior school. A
poor school is too expensive at u;
price,
Piittiiiir in time does not educate.
even if a diploma is awarded lor
"Going throwzh books" does m
educate. Ilcciting lessons does w
educate.
