the Revolution, and he owned the
farm now owned by Thomas Paige,

cupying twenty years were the legal
title papers secured.

This is n Centennial congregation
and was founded in l77G when all
was embraced in Penn's township
Cumberland county, afterwards
Northumberland, then Union, now
Snyder county. Those who organ.
lied the congregation found the
county seat at Carlisle, afterwards
Sunbury and New Berlin and the
present generation at Middleburgh.
In 1875 this territory was embraced
in Mahontongo township. Tho pres
ent members reside in Perry, Chap.
man, Union and Washington town
ships being contiguous territory in
the vicinity of the church.
Thomas Mckee, the Indian trader,
was the first white settler in Chap
man township as far as Snyder coun
ty extends. In 1856 he took out his
first warrant for large tract Of
land along Mahontonga extending
along the river including half falls
aud land now owned and occupied
, By members Of Grub's church.
JAY G.. Weiser, Esq, of Middle
burch. in the two volumes of From
tier Forts gives an interesting and
satisfactory history of Thomas Nc
Kee. History and tradition agree
that John Shamory, who was car
penter, built the old Grub's church
and he was the second person in
tered IA the grave-y yard behind the
church. lie was one of the earliest
settlers. He emiGrated from Ger
mory TO this country, aud was sold
for term of three years to pay his
possage across the ocean. He sery

ST. LOUIS Of Today.

Those who were familiar with st.
Louis as it was before 1890, but who
have not recently visited the town,
viii be amazed at the transformation
mat has been wrought within the
past five or six years. The chief
factor in this remaking and expan-
sion has been the electric trolly
system of local transit. st. Louis
was until lately an exceptionally COM
pact city. Most of its homes, as well
as it's factories and business-houses
were to be found within radius of
two or three miles from the spot
where the Union Station now stands
But within the past six years the old
horse car lines have all been made
over into electric trolly roads. which
have been extended until the entire
system now comprises nearly three
hundred street miles of electric lines,
all radiating from the central district.
The consequence has been an almost
magical development of a great resi-
dental zone, three or four miles
wide, the outer edge of which lies
upon the average about six miles from
the center of the city. Within this
belt are thousand of attractive new
homes, the typical st. Louis resi-
dence being a square, detached, red
brick house, standing within small
plot of well-kept ground-From "St
Louis: This Years Convention
