Barker, Chairman 53 Katharine Preston 1872 -1952 On December 31, 1952, there passed from our midst the last sur viving member of a distinguished family of Montgomery County, and one of prominence in the history of our Society. Katharine Preston was born in Norristown, April 7, 1872, the first of three children, to Dr. Mahlon Preston and Mary Krause. It is with deep regret that we record her loss. Miss Preston was one of the Society's most estimable and devoted members. A member since 1908, and a trustee for over thirty years, her interest never faltered. She seldom, if ever, missed a meeting or an outing in all the years of her membership. Her mother, Mary Krause Preston, had been a trustee before her, and her sister, Emily Krause Preston, who died in 1942, had been our librarian for many years. An article in memoriam of Miss Emily Krause Preston appears in the Society's pub lication, the Bulletin, (April, 1943, Volume III, No. 4, page 266.) Upon the death of her sister. Miss Katharine Preston was acting librarian in her place, assisted by Miss Annie B. Molony, from 1942 to 1945, when Rudolf P. Hommel was appointed to the post of librarian and curator of the Society. Miss Preston was an individual of no small talent. Her creative ability was manifest in several different mediums of endeavor. In her earlier years she delighted in painting china, a collection of which is a treas ured possession of the Society. Her finest effort and greatest joy, how ever, was in the painting of small water colors;— mostly marine scenes and landscapes. Many of them, also in the Society's custody, are of a wondrous delicacy, and reveal considerable imagination. From her pen we have several interesting and informative papers; one entitled "Our Curios" appeared in Volume VII, 1925 of the Sketches, and is an article written around the museum collections of the Society. Another, "Dames' Schools," appeared in Volume II, No. 4, of the Bulletin, April, 1941, and is an article on the private schools of the time, in Norristown, in which she and her sister were educated. In addition. Miss Preston was an excellent and capable homemaker, fine sewing and the making of her own clothes being also one of her accomplishments. She cared for her mother in the latter's declining years, assuming the cares of the house hold, making life comfortable and gracious for her brother and sister, her capabilities being of the kind that make for "greater responsibilities." Miss Preston was a faithful champion of and great believer in the Homeopathic School of Medicine. Her father, Dr. Mahlon Preston, prac ticed homeopathy with great success in Norristown and vicinity. So great was his admiration and esteem for Samuel Christian Friedrich Hahne- 55 56 BULLETIN OF HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY mann, the German physician and founder of the new principle, "the law of similar," that he named his only son, Fredrick Hahnemann Preston, in honor of his predecessor in medical science. Her grandfather, Honorable David Krause, studied law in Pittsburgh, began his practice in Lebanon, subsequently removing to Harrisburg, and in 1845 was appointed by Governor David R. Porter to the bench of Montgomery and Bucks Counties. Judge Krause served in the first court house of Montgomery County until 1851. The first Krause homestead in Norristown was known as "Brag Hill," and once stood at the present site of Main Street and Hartranft Avenue. They later rebuilt and en larged a stone property adjoining the court house, which they occupied until it was purchased by Montgomery County for expansion purposes. Genealogically, in addition to the family lines of Krause and Preston, Miss Preston's ancestry reached back over ten generations into American history, embracing other early Pennsylvania families such as Bills, Deyn, Chesman, Coates, Gardner, Kucher, Mendenhall, On*, Orth, Price, Stalker and others. In the homestead of one of her Lebanon County ancestors, the Peter Kucher mansion at Hebron, were entertained at various peri ods of history, many missionaries, ministers, generals, governors and men of public note. Specifically to mention several. President Geoi'ge Wash ington, Robert Morris, Rev. Henry M. Muhlenberg, Conrad Weiser and others. Travel was a recreation very much enjoyed by the Prestons. The vacation months were spent at their cottage in the summer colony at Five Islands, Maine. Their many friends visiting them there will long re call the delightful sails around the islands in the "Nixie," the Preston launch. In her later years—alone and unable to travel far—travelogues were a chief form of entertainment, the local Audubon Society and the Burton Holmes lectures being favorites. Both the Krause and Preston families were affiliated with the Re formed and Episcopal churches of Norristown. In addition to a substantial monetary bequest, Miss Preston left the Society a valuable collection of antiques, in memory of her mother, Mary Krause Preston, her sister, Emily Krause Preston, and her aunt, Anne E. Krause. These include a lovely pair of Duncan Phyfe type card- tables, a fine chest-on-chest in original condition and with original brasses, a splendid eight-day grandfather clock, several Chippendale chairs, and numerous other examples of period furniture; as well as fine silverware, china, and other valuable articles. Particular mention should be made of the Krause family oil paintings, including a painting of Miss Preston's grandfather. Judge David Krause. We shall cherish these priceless heirlooms in the names of those presented — but above all we shall cherish the memory of the donor, Katharine Preston.

  • JAMES LOGAN the Political Career of a Colonial Scholar
    JAMES LOGAN The Political Career of a Colonial Scholar By E. GORDON ALDERFER* A CROSS Sixth Street facing the shaded lawn of Independence Square in Philadelphia, on the plot now hidden by the pomp- ous facade of The Curtis Publishing Company, once stood a curious little building that could with some justice lay claim to being the birthplace of the classic spirit of early America. Just as the State House across the way symbolizes the birth of independ- ence and revolutionary idealism, the first public home of the Loganian Library could represent (were it still standing) the balanced, serene, inquiring type of mind so largely responsible for nurturing the civilization of the colonies. The Loganian, the first free public library in America outside of Boston and by some odds the greatest collection for public use in the colonial era, was the creation of James Logan, occasionally reputed to have been the most learned man in the colonies during the first half of the eighteenth century. Logan journeyed to Amer- ica with William Penn in 1699 as Penn's secretary, and became in effect the resident head of the province. Two years later, when Penn left his province never to return, Logan was commissioned Secretary of the Province and Commissioner of Property. He was soon installed as Clerk of the Provincial Council and became its most influential member in spite of his youthfulness. Even- tually, in 1731, Logan became Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, and, five years later, as President of the Provincial Council, he assumed *Dr. E.

The committee also outlined a method by which the lacking element could be supplied. Among other things this was said, " Only typical events should receive em- phasis, and these should be so grasped and so presented as to make definite impression." Emphasis was laid on "the giving of a sense of reality and appealing to the feelings " by "reading source material like letters, journals, diaries and other personal accounts from the pens of men and women who took part in the events they narrate or witnessed the scenes they portray," and by the interpretation of these sources. In preparing " Real Stories from Our History " the author has kept in mind this report which voiced the plea made by teachers for books that would give human interest to facts that to many seem remote and colorless.

Purchased by the Library Company, 1880. 4 n July 1, 1731, Benjamin Franklin and a number of his fellow members of the Junto drew up “Articles of Agreement” to Ofound a library. The Junto was a discussion group of young men seeking social, economic, intellectual, and political advancement. When they foundered on a point of fact, they needed a printed authority to set- tle the divergence of opinion. In colonial Pennsylvania at the time there were not many books. Standard English reference works were expensive and difficult to obtain. Franklin and his friends were mostly mechanics of moderate means. None alone could have afforded a representative li- brary, nor, indeed, many imported books. By pooling their resources in pragmatic Franklinian fashion, they could. The contribution of each cre- ated the book capital of all. Fifty subscribers invested forty shillings each and promised to pay ten shillings a year thereafter to buy books and maintain a shareholder’s library.

  • History of Upland, PA
    Chronology of Upland, PA from 1681 through 1939 and A Chronology of the Chester Mills from 1681 through 1858. Land in the area of today’s Upland was entirely taken up in the 1600’s by Swedes, and laid out in “plantations”. Swedes and Finns had settled on the west bank of the Delaware River as early as 1650. The Swedes called this area “Upland”. Peter Stuyvesant, Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam (now New York), forced the Swedes to capitulate and named the area “Oplandt”. September, 1664 – English Colonel Nichols captured New Amsterdam, it became “his majesty’s town of New York”. The Swedes decided it was “Upland” again. Local Indians were of the Lenni Lenape tribe – The Turtle Clan. An old Indian trail ran from Darby along the general route of the present MacDade Blvd. into the Chester area, where it followed today’s 24th Street to the present Upland Avenue. Here it turned down the hill passing the current Kerlin Street, and on to the area that is now Front Street where it turned right, following close to Chester Creek across the land which later would become Caleb Pusey’s plantation, and then made a crossing to the higher land on the opposite side of the creek. Dr. Paul Wallace, the Indian expert, sites this Indian trail; “The Indians could here cross over on stones and keep their moccasins dry”. The Indian name for the Chester Creek was “Meechaoppenachklan”, which meant. Large potato stream, or the stream along which large potatoes grow. From 1681 . William Penn, being a man who learned from the experiences of others, was intent on providing a vital infrastructure for the settler/land owners in the new colony.

  • The ^Penn Collection
    The ^Penn Collection A young man, William Penn fell heir to the papers of his distinguished father, Admiral Sir William Penn. This collec- A tion, the foundation of the family archives, Penn carefully preserved. To it he added records of his own, which, with the passage of time, constituted a large accumulation. Just before his second visit to his colony, Penn sought to put the most pertinent of his American papers in order. James Logan, his new secretary, and Mark Swanner, a clerk, assisted in the prepara- tion of an index entitled "An Alphabetical Catalogue of Pennsylvania Letters, Papers and Affairs, 1699." Opposite a letter and a number in this index was entered the identifying endorsement docketed on the original manuscript, and, to correspond with this entry, the letter and number in the index was added to the endorsement on the origi- nal document. When completed, the index filled a volume of about one hundred pages.1 Although this effort showed order and neatness, William Penn's papers were carelessly kept in the years that followed. The Penn family made a number of moves; Penn was incapacitated and died after a long illness; from time to time, business agents pawed through the collection. Very likely, many manuscripts were taken away for special purposes and never returned. During this period, the papers were in the custody of Penn's wife; after her death in 1726, they passed to her eldest son, John Penn, the principal proprietor of Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia, there was another collection of Penn deeds, real estate maps, political papers, and correspondence.

    MARTIN'S BENCH AND BAR OF PHILADELPHIA Together with other Lists of persons appointed to Administer the Laws in the City and County of Philadelphia, and the Province and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania BY , JOHN HILL MARTIN OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAR OF C PHILADELPHIA KKKS WELSH & CO., PUBLISHERS No. 19 South Ninth Street 1883 Entered according to the Act of Congress, On the 12th day of March, in the year 1883, BY JOHN HILL MARTIN, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.
