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.

Tbe Matthias Scbocb Association, feeling that as tbe name was acattered over so many dla trtcta of the Keystone State, a well as through out the whole Union, It would be a commend. able project to gather together aa many aa pos sible Id family reunion, la order that the gene alogical connection of the various re present. Uvea night be complied and be preserved, and that lbs bond of ilia brotherhood, though pro verbially stroug, taightbysuuha union be more thoroughly cemented. Tbey accordingly, be res olution, tmeoived u bold a family reunion on Au gust U. vm. A circular letter was prepared and sent wherever on of tbe name or oonnec Uoowu fouad.

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.
