"TArom our Ancestors come our Names, J? But from our Virtues our Honors." PREFATORY. ^|~UST ten short months since, while the writer's mind s0\^ during some leisure moments was diverted to the gen- s' ealogy of his family forefathers, he became suddenly convinced that a history of the stock, embracing all persons in this county bearing the name of Landis, was a necessity. He, therefore, at once undertook the voluntary task of com- piling this work, with no other material at hand than a little information concerning his i'mmediate family predecessors. Had it not been for a host of friends, both old and new, who aided by tongue and pen, this little volume could not have been issued in the specified time; especially since it was prepared amid the manifold interruptions incident to a busy typographer's life. The author acknowledges his particular obligations to: Rev. John L. Landis, Binkley's Bridge; Eev. John B. Landis, East Petersburg; Levi S. Beist, Oregon; Hon. John H. Landis, Millersville ; M. B. Landis, Washing- ton, D. C; Israel C. Landis, Landisville; Prof. F. W. Bushong, Wichita, Kansas; John F. Landis, Elizabethtown; A. G. Landis, Sterling, Kan.; Jacob F. Landis, Abilene, Kan.; Eli B. Landis, Philadelphia; Henry H. Landis, Landis Valley; James D. Landis, Lancaster; M. B. Landis, Richland, Lebanon county; Ezra F. Laadis, Lancaster; D. K. Landis, Strasburg; Martin Gr. Landis, East Lampeter; Benjamin K. Landis, Bird- in-Hand; Emma Lehman, Landisville; and a number of others, for valuable aid in obtaining information from their respective families or localities. Among the publications from which extracts have been made, are: Martyrs' Mirror, Rupp's History of Lancaster County, Harris' Biographical History of Lancaster County, Evans'' History of Lancaster County, the Lancaster Inquirer, New Era, and Landisville Yigil. It has been the writer's desire to give a useful compendium of local knowledge that will benefit others besides those of his name. In addition to two parts of genealogy, a complete record of Landis soldiers is appended; also, an original ac- 6 THE LANDIS FAMILY OF LANCASTER COUNTY. count of the progress of Landisville and Landis Valley; a directory of living adults; and general information. A brief biography, in plain language, is given of each individual; also, the exact generation of every family from the earliest inhabitants. Nick-names are introduced throughout these pages more for the purpose of distinguishing similarity of surnames than to show their oddity. Should the reception of this volume, with its necessarily limited first edition, prove favorable, a second volume may follow. In the meantime the present book can be had for 65 cents cash, or the illustrated autograph edition for $1.25. D. B. L. SSO B. Chestnut St., Lancaster. Pa., February 1, 1S88. CONTENTS. PART I.

Part I. ANCESTRY AND EARLY SETTLERS. Persecutions of Mennonites in the Seventeenth Cen- tury—MIGRATION OF LANDISES TO AMERICA—FlRST SET- tlers ix the conestoga valley—llneal descendants of the Eighteenth Century. C ^ITN the latter part of the Sixteenth century the Landises, S^ among others in Switzerland, were noted for their piety, Gr and were appropriately called Pietists. The first histor- ical mention of individual members of the Landis family is made of Hans Landis,* a "pious witness of the Divine truth," who existed at that time. Hans was a Pietus or Mennonite preacher, who moved to the Ehine, in Switzerland, and lived there to feed and refresh others who were seeking after right- eousness. The Council of Zurich, who be it known were not Catholics, but of the Eeformedf church, ordered Hans' arrest, thus thinking to stop his teachings. But that good man could "Martyrs' Mirror," translated by Rupp, 1837; p. 1003. t After the fearful persecutions of Protestants by Catholics during the Sixteenth century, some of the Reformed placed themselves on record at Zurich and Berne as continuators of the cruel practices known to the martyrs' era. Various edicts were issued from 1601 to 1660 by the Re- formed against the Anabaptists (derisive of Baptists or Mennonites), creating fines, confiscation of property and other stringent penalties, in- cluding banishment. Others, however, of the Reformed belief, especi- ally the regents of the United Netherlands, exerted their influence for the protection of the innocent Mennonites. : 10 THE LANDIS FAMILY OF LANCASTER COUNTY. not be deterred from his sincere convictions, and "he was taken prisoner by his enemies and sent in irons from Zurich to the papists at Zolothurn." After being liberated by the aid of some kind-natured persons, he was again retaken and sent to Zurich, where he was rigorously examined as to his doctrine. • In September, 1614, he was beheaded* with a sword, as a true follower of Christ. The authorities then tried to persuade the common people that Hans was decapi- tated for his obstinacy towards them, but it remains a fact that he suffered death for religion's sake. It is interesting to know that Hans Landis was the last person to be beheaded for religious convictions in that locality, but persecution did not cease with his death. In May, 1637, among three other brethren, "Hans Landis, the second, a steadfast minister of the church in Horgerberg, and his daughter, Margaretha," were confined full sixty weeks at Othenbach. "Meantime the authorities sold their property for 7000 florins, and applied it to their own use."f In 1640, "Oswald Landis, his wife, and two daughters-in- law, were incarcerated in Othenbach. Jacob Landis, Oswald's son, and all his family, were banished. The two daughters- in-law, with their infants, escaped from prison; which good for- tune afterwards befell the old man and his wife.

  • Fellow Logisticians, on Behalf of Your Logistics Officer Association, Welcome to Washington DC and the 2012 LOA National Symposi
    Fellow Logisticians, On behalf of your Logistics Officer Association, welcome to Washington DC and the 2012 LOA National Symposium! The event team has done a great job recognizing three decades of impact with the theme “30 Years of Developing Logisticians,” and I know we will all benefit from the presentations, exchanges, and discussions. This year’s agenda and slate of speakers is sure to inform and stimulate ideas on how logisticians can further enhance our important part of National Defense. Something new this year is the Professional Development Day—a training day that will further arm you with tools of our discipline. I encourage you to maximize this opportunity by learning something outside of your day-to-day functional area or increase your expertise in a specific skill—but in both cases, helping to facilitate related discussions about the issues we currently face. The speaker line-up is crafted to highlight the necessity of deliberately developing logisticians, and why that makes a difference in the way Air Force logistics supports combatant commanders across the globe. From breakout panels to main stage, you will hear how we are adapting professional development to align with urgent and future Air Force requirements. As a service— and as part of the joint force—we will continue to focus on enabling all logisticians to meet the readiness needs of fellow Airmen and commanders in the most efficient way. We’ll also continue to rely on LOA to further that focus through dynamic chapter events, thought- provoking member articles in the Exceptional Release, and of course, this capstone symposium that brings senior Air Force leadership and loggies together.

  • Who Owns History? the Construction, Deconstruction, and Purpose of the Main Line Myth
    Who Owns History? The Construction, Deconstruction, and Purpose of the Main Line Myth Michael Grant, Haverford College Senior Seminar, Fall 2006 Growth and Structure of Cities, Bryn Mawr College Professors Arbona, Hein, and Stroud Grant 1 Abstract This thesis analyzes class duality in suburban Philadelphia between 1870 and 1930. The story below begins with the creation of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in 1846 and the subsequent construction of a “main line” to Philadelphia. In response to urban industrialization – a push – and the emergence of a suburban pastoral ideal – a pull – social elites fled from Philadelphia during the second half of the nineteenth century and constructed country estates atop the hills overlooking the rail line. The society that the elites mythicized on the Main Line crumbled in the hands of the 1929 Great Depression, marking the end “the Golden Age.” This thesis argues that the Main Line social elites, on account of exclusionary town planning and estate architecture, spawned a myth that masked the existence of a suburban servant underclass, which the elites themselves created and sustained through the maintenance of their country estates. Questions concerning the myth’s definition, makers, and ultimate purpose and societal function frame the argument.
