PREFACE.
A number of the ·Wismer connection in Bucks Co., Pa., Canada, and elsewhere, desiring a history of the Wismer family compiled for publication in book form, requested us to undertake the work, and as a mark of favor and kindness towards those friends, we kindly consented. As is usually the case, in the compiling of family genealogies, tt 'l work is not as complete as it should be, owing to the failure of some of the connections to respond to . our communications to furnish us with their family records, and other information they pos- sessed. · We feel indebted to xw,ny of the friends for their kindness in furnishing information for this genealogy. Prominent among those who have interested them selves in the work, and given us valuable aid, by fur nishing us much information are: Eli Wismer. Plum stead, Pa.; Aaron Wismer, Jordan Sta., One.; Reu ben W. Kratz, Pomona, Kans; H. W. Gross, Doyles town, Pa.; Samuel Nash, Doylestown, Pa.; Till man W. Moyer, Campden, Ont., and others.

INTRODUCTION.
Deeds of great men live long after them. Monu ments rear their lofty heads to perpetuate their mem ory or commemorate some remarkable events iri which they moved as leading factors. Historical vol umes hand down to future generations the details df their achievements as monarchs before whom natioris trembled and vanished; as warriors whose word of command spread death ana desolation through the world; as statesmen whoso political abilities pro claimed liberty to millions of tho human race, and as religious reformers who suffered persecution and mnrtyrdom that the light of Gospel doctrine mi~ht shine over the whole earth and dispel the darkness of superstition,-the idle fancies, rigor or excessive ex actness in religious opinions and practices. · In introducing this volume tirthe descendants of our pioneer American ancestor, we do not claim for him any famous deeds as a man of renown, but a no ble courage and a virtuous and exemplary character, embodied in a person, who never rose above a hum ble position in life, which. if stro_ngly forme~l in t_he pe<'ple of a nation, docs more towards promoting its µrosperity and welfare than the courage an1l charac ter of many men of fame. - VIII - Any one somewhat acquainted with the early history of our country well knows, that tho principal motive that letl many people from different parts of Europe to come to America, was to escape from tho various religious persecutions which they had to en dure in their native countries. That our ancestor, Jacob Wismer, who settled in Bucks Co., Pa., about one hundred and seventy years ago, was one of those who abandoned the land of their births, and faced the dangers and hardships which confronted the early settlers in the New World, we have reason to believe; not from a positive knowledge of facts prior to his arrival in America, but from subsequent events in connection with the organization of the Mennonite Congregation at Deep Run, of which he was one of the leading originators.
It is not only a pious but an instructive task, to collect and preserve the memorial of our ancestor who, in making himself a home in the wilderness, also complied with the Divine command to the ances tor of the human f:unily, and laid the foundation of a family, in number, of thousands, whose members are now spread far and wide over the United States and Canada. People who fail to appreciate and cherish the virtues and e~mplary deeds of their ancestors, however humble their position or insignificant their acts, are not likely to transmit anything worthy of remembrance or imitation to their descendants.
Let us pavse and reflect. Let us draw a compar ison of the period of our ancestor in the " father land," and the land of his adoption. Persecutions and intolerance in the Old World. Savages and for ests in the New. -IX- How the beurts of our fathers must have beat with mingled joy and sadness when they bade adieu to their native land and set sail for the New World. Behind them the homes of their births and rulers in tolerant and oppressive. Before them the vast ocean and a land of liberty of conscience. What a contrast they must have felt after having been established in their new homes on American soil; no more bound down by the whims and caprices of tyrannical kings and rulers. These wore the preliminaries that our family encountered. Few of us have tasted hardships like unto bis. All of'us may enjoy the gifts, the ben efits and the advantages which promote our temporal prosperity and welfare, or seenre our immortal felic ity. Surely such blessings should awaken the grat~ tude of all who partake thereof. Representatives· of the family fill many impor tant and prominent positions in the walk of life. They may be found, not only among the tillers of the soil and mechanics, but also among teachers of our public schools, and ministers of the Gospel; among the medical and legal professions, among editors and publishers of religious and secular papers, and among professors of advanced institutions of learning. Turning over the leaves of this volume may be a melancholy task to some of us. Therr- are names in it that revive no remembrance of those that bore them: and there are others which bring before us ve1y distinctly the forms and faces with which we were once familiar. Many of the names have long ago been chiseled on the grave-stones of their own ers, to remind us of friends whose book of life wa~ closed long ago. There are also names that belong to those who are still living and some of whom are Yery -X- dear to us. It is rather a humiliating reflection that this thing of rags and sheepskin will outlast many _generations of us. In the course of time its leaves will become discolored with age, and all will decay. But of the human volume it is only tho binding that decays. The contents are immortal, and if found worthy will re-appear with rare embellishments where the mildew of time can never mar them.

THE WISMER FAMILY HISTORY.
I. Jacob Wismer, ancestor of the numerous fam ily of that name in Bucks and Montgomery Com.ties Pa., and other portions of the United States and Can ada, was born in Germany about 1684, and died in Bedminster Township, Bucks Co., Pa., Feb. 4-, 1787 in his one hnn *W. W. H. Davis' History of Backs Co., states tbnt he .-migrnted to North Carolina, where he lived ten years, etc. -2- dred and thirty of them perished. That he had been among the unfortunate emigrants in this German set tlt:ment is not in the ]east improbable, although there is no positive proof that such was the case. .A tradi tion of the family says, that a sister accompanied him to .America. that after they settled, the .Indians fell upon them and killod,1:be former, the latter held out some tobacco before the savages, which caused their savage nature to yield to such an extent that he was enabled to make his escape. It is said that after he made his escape he walked and ran ninety miles in one day. He traveled north as far as By berry in Phil adelphia County, Pa., from whence he later, moved to Bucks County. The motive that impelled tho Wismer ancestor to these shores is not known, but undoubtedly was on acrount of religious persecution which raged in the father-land, and which was the chief cause of the emigration in those early days of so many of the pio neer fathers to the New World where no cruel porse cution was waged against the devout worshipers of God. Hore was a refuge for the oppressed people of God. of other nations, and hither they came by the thousands where they might worship God under the bright sun of religious freedom, untrammeled and unoppressed. .As to his nationality, it bas been insisted upon by some that be was an Englishman, but of this there is no proof in fact. On the contrary, evidence point more directly and conclusively to German nation ality. The fact of his having been a member of a dis tinctively German church is strong evidence in favor of Germany having been the father-land. -3- Tbe deed of William Allen to the denomination of Mennonites for fifty acres of Lmd at Deep Run, was drawn in favor of six persons, who are named in the deed as being members of said denomination and who are supposed to have been the principal or lead ing originators of the Deep Run congregation. Among , the six was ,Jacob Wismer, who, we have,cvery reason to believe was the ancestor, or Jacob the first, and which shows that he was a Mennonite, and worshiped with German people, and from which we infer that he himself was a German. Also the fact that there are now in the United States, Wismers who were born in Germlilly and Switzerland, and that there are to this day Wismers still residing in those countries is strong · evidence · against the Bucks County ancestor's having been kn Englishman. An 11ged lady still living in Bucks Co., a great granddaughter of Mark Wismer, son of Jacob the first, rel11tas that she beard the oldest of her ancestors say that Jacob Wismer came from Germany. She also says that among her great-grandfather Mark Wismer's books, was an old German Bible, strongly bound, with brass plates and clasps, that had belonged to Jacob Wismer, and contained a record of bis family. After Mark's death the Bible came into the pos session of an aunt to the lady referred to, and later was owned by herself, and was finally' destroyed by fire during the burning of her house. Jacob Wismer was the first white man to settle upon the tract he purchased in Bucks County. Tradition says that tho party who brought him from Byberry unloaded family and effects under a big -4- tree in the woods, and on leaYing him gave the fol lowing tart advice, "Now Wismer work or die." In what· year he settled in Bucks County is not positively known, but is supposed to have been in 1726, in which·year the first sum of money was pa.id by the Leeches. According to the contract of Penn and Alcok, the rent on the tract did not become due until the tract bad become occupied, hence there is eYidenco of considerable weight showing the time of settlen· ·_. 1t to have been as stated. The tract on which Jacob Wismer settled in Bucks County, previous to his purchasing it, was comprised of 375 acres, and which William Penn Pro prietor _and Governor of the Province of Pennsylvania, granted and conveyed by indenture on the 16th of July 1691, unto one Jeffrey Alcok of Ordslvford, County of Chester, Kingdom of England. .A.look was held by the same indenture under a yearly rent of one shilling for every one hunilred acres, to become due and payable as soon as occupied. On the 6th of February 1723 Alcok granted and conveyed thii same tract to Peter Dicks of Upper Providence Chester Co., Pa.. under.the same rent as Alcok. On May 22, 1725, Dicks granted and conveyed the same tract to John Leech of Philadelphia, and his brother Isaac Leech. of Cheltenham Twp., Philadelphia Co. Up to this time the tract had been unoccupied and indefinitely lQcated (in the Province of Pennsylvania towards the Susqueh:mria river). By order of Jaco:t> Taylor surveyor general under date of. January 28, 1726, ·the aforesaid tract was located, surveyed and laid out unto Leech and brother by Thomas Watson, County surveyor on the 3d of February 1726, and for which they probably paid £60 lawful money of Sigl'\atures of Jacob al'\d Nal'\l'\H Wisl'T\er -5- America, and which was the first sum paid for the eutiro tract. On Apr. 29, 1727 John Leech granted and con veyed hi'! share of the trnct unto his brother Isaac, who in his will, bearing date Oct. 14, 1744 authorized and empowered his wife Rebecca, and brother Thomas Leech to convey to Jacob Wismer, and other persons in the will named, the 375 acres. On May· 17, 1749, Rebecca Leech and Thomas Leech gavE' title to Jacob Wismer of Bedminster Township, Bnc•ks County, Pennsylvania for 210 acres being the south western portion of the 375 acre tract, and for which be paid £100 lawful money. On the 12th of April 1773, ,Jacob Wismer sold the tract to his son Henry of Hilltown for .t:500 which was to be paid in installments after bis (Jacob's) den,th. to bis nine children. About the same time be made/ i;. will in which he stated the time when the share oi each should become due after his death. The amount of £54: 12 s. 6 pence was the sum that fell to each of the nine h~rs; viz., Jacob, Mark, Ahraham, Daniel, John, Christian, Mary; Elizabeth sud Nanny. Henry the purchaser of the Homestead received no share of the £500. Jacob Wismer's son Henry, and son-in-law Henry Kephart, were appointed executors of his estate. · The old Homestnad is divided into six tracts and occupied as follows,- Abraham Wismer, a great great-grandson of Jacob Wismer, and great-grandson of Henry Wismer of the second generation, owns the old homestead with 72 acres; Samuel Wismer, brother to Abraham Wismer mentioned above, owns and re sides npon a tract of 49½ acres on the S. W. and 6 or 8 acres S. E. of the homestead belong to David K. Landis; William D. High, is tho owner of 90 acres 2 -6- on the N. E.; Jncoh M. Rush, owns 5 ncrcs which is surrounded on three sides by the High t1·nct, nnd Jncob D. Swartz owns 11 ucrcs S."\Y. of High's trnct. Towurds the close of his life his occupution wns tbnt of wheelwright, nnd which he muy have car ried on in connection with farming for mu.ny years. He is said to have had three wives, untl WllS mur ried to his third wife ufter coming north about 1720, and with whom he lived 6i y.eurs, she heing 84: years old at the time of his death. Her Christian name was "Nanny," :md she was the mother of all his children. Her maiden name is unknown, but it is known that the children and gmndcbildren received legacies from one Jacob Sowder, and it is presumed that she WllS the daughter of Jacob Sowder. *A pear tree raised from a seed which had been planted by Nanny is still standing on the homestead a living monument to the memory of the distinguished couple. Thirty five years ago it was the most mag nificent tree known in that vicinity. In wonder and astonishment, it is said, runny a mortal stood gazing at its stately form and admiring its magnitude, a strange contrast to its primitive state. Age and storms have overcome its strength, and greatly rc duc.:ed uncl diminished its former usefulness and noble appearance. It is not known that Jacob Wismer ever held any official position in the county or township, but he was a petitioner for the new To,vnship of Bedminster, as the "Jacob Weismore," signed to the petition for the township in 174.1 was no doubt meant for Jacob Wismer. *Extroct from sketch of Wismer family, by Ell Wismer, of Plumstead, Pa. -7- At tho time of his clouth ho hnd one hundred nnd seventy children nnrl grnndchildren. Although living to tho great age of 103 years, he retained his mind until within about two months, noel could walk out nucl dress and undress himself within about two weeks of his death.

He was fomiliarlv known as Abraham Wismer, the "lonit~eard." • It is related that as he and bis nephew, 1v1artin Overholt, were coming near where a number of people were gath ered, some one among the crowd seeing his long snowy white beard, inquired, "What is that coming there·~,, and another replied, "Why, that is preacher Wismer; he has swallowed a white horse and that is its tail hanging out of his mouth." Martin Overholt, who heard the remark, became very angry, and was about taking off his coat to resent the insult when his ~~andfather laid his hand on his shoulder, holding mm back, saying, "Du musst nicht fechten." Abra ham Wismer was ordained to the ministry of the Mennonite church at Deep Run, where he served as one of the ministers.

But desiring to pursue a more complete course, prepara- tory thereto she attended a Grammar school, but on account of ill health she was compelled to discontinue her school attendancEl. When about 17 years of age she began teaching school, and continued, except when attending school, until within about three months of her death. When in her 18th year she was converted and soon after united with the Ev. Ass'n church, an,l though often in darkness, with conflicts, doubts, and fears, yet bri~ht hope as often intervened to cheer and light her pato until the end came, and the crown won. Among her writings were many pieces of her own composition, mostly of a religious character, that speak well of her poetical talents. We make room for one written for an intimate friend and schoolmate. RESPONSE. You smooth the tangles from my hair With gentle touch and tend'rest care, And count the years ere you shall mark Bright silvery threads among the dark, Smiling the while to hear me say, "You'll think of this again some day! "Someday!" I do not E'Com the power of time, Nor count on years of fadeless prime; But no white glooms will ever shine Among these heavy locks of mine. Ah, laugh as gaily as you may, You'll think of this again some day, Someday! Some day I shall not feel 118 now, Your soft hands move about my brow; I shall not slight your light commands, And draw the long braids through my hands; I shall be silent and obey,- And you-you will not laugh that day, That day! -41- I know how long your loving hands Wlll llnger with these glossy bands, When you shall weave my la.test crown Of these thick braldlnga Jong and brown; But you shu.ll see no touch of gray Adown their shining lengths that day, That day! And whlle your tears are falling hot Upon the lips which answer not, You'll take from these one treasured tress, And leave the rest to silentness, Remembering that I used to say, " You'll think of thia agafa some day, "Someday!"

Prof. Thomas O'Neill, of Philadelphia, Apr'. 24, 1856. Res. 2405 Mast~r St., Philn., Pa. Professor of Music. Prof. Thomas O'Neill was born in Philudcl phia, Pa., Dec. 14, 1829. At a very early age he evinced o. talent for music which he gratified by writing notes to any thing in the form of a melody that hti beard whistled or sung. A talent, however, which his father thought not to encourage. In 1856 he became organist and choirmaster of the Broad Street Baptist church in Philadelphia. He was sub sequently induced to remove to Norristown, where for many years the music at the Frost Presbyterian church of which he was organist and choirmaster, was an at tractive feature of the services. After ten consecu tive years of service as principal of the music depart ment at the Oakland Female Institute, at Norristown, then a flourishing school for young l:idies, he volun tarily resigned tlie position at the seminary in order to attend to outside teaching. Quite a number of his pupils occupy prominent positions. · Mr. Elnord Beaver, a com_petent church organist of Norristown, was under his instruction for five years, and Miss Anna L. Cressinan, who succeeded him as organist at the F. P. ch. was his pupil for a like term of years. Among his brightest pupils is ('See page 151.) - 85- his dnngbtor, Mrs. J. Juy Gheen, of West Chester, who is 11 pianist of such signal nbility thut her music is not only 11,.joy to her, but is un unfailing source of pleu.suro to her lurgo circle of friends. l\fr. O'Neill's compositions nre chnrncterized by 11.D originality and depth of feeling which_ proclaim him to be a composer cf decirle II. l\fary Wismer, daughter of Jacob Wismer, I. II.

Mr -101- deatb. On December 8, 1892, between the boars of six and seven in the eveninlZ', he left his home on :foot to transact some business affairs with a neighbor, dis tant about one mile. He did not return at the ex pected hour, and about midnight members of the family went to the place he had intended to visit and . learned he had not been there. A searching party im mediately started over the rout, througA, woods and field.,, supposed to have been taken. Between two and three o'clock his lif'lless body was found in a shallow pond of water. iQ his own woods, about fifty rods from his house. His coat and vest were open, his wateh and money were missing. Su,spicions of foul play were fully aroused, and were confirmed by further investigations. 1In a line from the spot where the body was found, about one fourth of a mile in length, alono- the trail of strange and peculiar footprints, were found an account book, and a purse and wallet from which the contents had been removed. all of which were identified as belonging to the deceased. An autopsy also revealed a number of contusions, caused by blows on the head. Great ex citement prevailed in the vicinity, and hundreds of people visited the spc>t and surroundings daily. De tectives were immediately employed. The county authorities offered a reward of $500 and a citizens' meeting of the ·surrounding vicinity an additional reward of $1000 for the apprehension and conviction of the guilty person or persons. His remains were interred at the Deep Run Mennonite church of which he was a member. On Dec. 12, an immense throng assembled to pay their last tribute of respect. By actual· count over 325 car ria~es left his late residence in the funeral procession. He was much esteemed and highly respected by hosts of relatives, friends and acquamtances. VII.

Ho wns an enterprising, shrewd nnd prosperous mun, From old documents in the possession of his descend ants it can be seen that, of the entire family of Jacob Wismer, he (Honr.v) was probably the most promi nent. in wealth and business abilities. Agriculture wns his c,hief pursuit. In 1773 he became owner of his father's farm of 210 acres in Bedminster. At the sumo time he h11d u form in Hilltown of 140 ucres, on which he lived and died. In 1793 he sold the home stead with 120 acres to his son Abraham, and the re maining 90 ucres to one Eke!, and in 1805 he sold. his Hilltown farm to his son-in-law John :Fnnk. He re ceived u life right for himself and wife. Funk was to reside on tho form and take good cure of the old couple. Ho wus hound to provide all the necessaries and comforts for old age. even to the roint of ClllTY ing- their firewood into their room anc furnish them with five irullons of whiskey yenrly us long us either of the old folks lived. W caving and distilling whis key were ulso carried on in connection with forming. Judging from items entered on his Day Book from 1768 to 1800, we are led to believe that persons in need of money and work depended in a great meas ure on him for assistance. It also appears that a few of his brothers were dependant on him for support towards the close of their lives. In 1803 he ma·ie a will, which rends as follows: -140- ~n tho nnmo of Go The children of Henry nnd Barbara Wismer aro as follows: Jacob, Abraham, Annie, Marin, Henry, Joseph, Christian, Esther, John, Elizabeth, Samuel, Barbara.

He was married to Amanda M. Miller, of Akrcn, 0., Sept. 11, 1S73. In 1882 they moved to Mitchell, South Dakota. He bas been variouslJ occupied as lumber merchant, land office clerk, land attorney, and at _present occupies the position of Register of U. S. Office at Mitchell. He was also one of the founders of the University of Dakota, and is a mem ber of its managing board. He is also prominent in religious circles, and is President of the Sontb Da kota State Sunday School Association. Meth. Ep. Children:· (VII.) Frank E. Kratz, hn; Oct. 11, 1874; died July 6, 1878.

He prepared himself for college in the common and high schools of bis native state, and supported himself by teachin~. He first entered Denison University, Grtmville, 0., where he remained two years, and then completed his collc~ate conrse at Wooster University, Wooster 0., gractuat ing with the degree of B. S. in 1874. Later the de f!fee of l\I. A. was granted him by bis Alma Mater. Hti at once entered upon the work of teaching, and has been Superintendent and Principal of schools in several important cities, principally those of Bucyrus, 0., and Dexter, Mich. 1n both: of these states he was frequently eng~ed in the institute work by the side of their best educators. 1n 1881, he went ab~oad, taking bis family with him, and during two years resided in London. While in Europe be made a special study of systems of education, and methods of instn1ction. He met many of the leadin~ educators of the Old World, and became familiar with their theories. Opportunities were offered him to observe school work there which he readily and profitably availed himself of, and returned to this countr.v. The year 1885 found him installed in the schools of Mitch ell, Dakota, as Superintendent, a position be held for four years. He organized and graded these schools and put them in a condition second to none in the -152 - Country. His pupils have found onsy admission to the schools of our lending cities. Ho promptly identified himself with the euuontors of the state, and has been present at every i111port11nt cdncntionul meeting in Dakota since 1886. When tho Educational Association or~nnized the rcuding circle department he was ma(lc tne chief oflioor, and in turn made the rending circle one of the vital educational forces of the stuto. He was three times unanimously chosen president of the State Eclucntional Association, un honor not before conferred on unv member. He wns also prominently mentioned for the position of Tor ritorml Superintendent of Public Instruction. At the first election for state officers, tho lending educators and teachers all over the stt1te made urgent appeals for him to consent to become u candidate for the of fice of State Superintomlont _of Public Instruction. Against his better judgment he was finally induced to make an effort to secure the Republican nomina tion. U nfortunatoly preceding nominations on the ticket, bunched the nominees in his part of the state, and he was defeated, although even then ho received a lim~e number of votes in the convention. In the spring of 1889 he was called to the chnir of Pedagogy and. principalship of the Normal De partment of the University of South Dakota. He also completed u 2ost graduate course in Philosophy and Pedagogy in Wooster University, and received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In November 1891, he was unanimously chosen Superintendent of the Sioux City, Iowa, schools, to succeed Prof. Chus. W. Doane. He completed tho year's work in such a satisfactory manner, that be was unanimously ro-clected for two years at IL salm:v of $2.500 per year. Sioux City has IL population of over 40,000, about 6,000 children are enrolled in her schools and 140 teachers arc required to instruct them. From this it can be readily inferred that Dr. Kratz's present field of work is a broad one, and bis responsibilities great. . In addition to his other duties be conducts Teach ers' Institutes, lectures from time to time, and ocea- - 153 - sionally contributes articles on educational topics to the press, and is Director of the Lake Madison Chau tauqua Assembly at Lake Madison, South Dakota. Taken altogether, it may readily be seen that Dr. Kratz is an exceedingly busy man. Ho was married to Lizzie M. Deni of Bucyrus, O., July 19, 1876. Meth. Ep. ch. Children: (Vil.)

He inherited musical tastes from his parents, both of whom were lovers of music, and each pos sessed gifts and accomplishments exceeding ordinary attainments. He early exhibited marked endowment with these family traits, was diligent at school, and availed himself of high school privileges at Seville, 0. After his father's death and breaking up of the old home, he went to live with his brother Reuben in Akron, 0., where he entered High School and came under the notice of Prof. N. L. Glover, the instructor in music, under whose influence and counsel ho de cided to make music his life study and work. For two years he en~nged in teaching school, all the time pursuing his study in music. He attended Ohio Nor mal Music School three terms, and SJ>ent one term in Dana's Musical Institute at Warren, 0. Later he en tered the College of Music at Cincinnati, 0., where he graduated in 1882, with second honor of his class. He afterwards engaged in the work of his profession at Davenport, Iowa. Here his influence was felt as a teacher and organizer of Church Choirs, Qunrtettes, Male Choruses, and as author of musical composi tions. His work in building up the Vocal Department of St. Catharine's Hall secured complimentary re~ - 154 - ommondation fl'om Billhop Perry, of tho Episcopal church.

Mr. Wismer was one of the best known citizens in the county of Lincoln, Ont., having through official business nod otherwise become known to a large number of persons. While young he enjoyed the few educntional advantages which the county afforded. After marriage he enga,ged in farming in which he was very successful. In Jun. 1861, he offered himself for municipal honors, and by a majority of one vote, was elected a member of the township council, in what wns undoubtedly the sharpest contested Mu nicipal election ever held in the county of Lincoln. He was a member of the Twp., council for eight si.1c cessive years. In 1870, he was electecl Reeve of Louth Twp., which office he held for seven years. In 1875, he was elected Warden of Lincoln Co. He served as a member of the Louth Twp., council for 16 years. He lived on the shore of Lake Ontario, where he owned a farm of 80 acres which he sold for $12,000, and his estate at his death was worth $20,000. He was well known as a sterlini:i: and upright man, and a faithful worker for the best interest of the people, and enjoyed the high esteem of all who knew him. V.
