HENDRICKS FORT.
Historical Sketch OF a Block House that
is More Than a Century Old.

Hendricks blockhouse is located
in Middlecreek township, Snyder
county. Pennsylvania, on the south
side Of the public road leading from
Selinsgrove to Lewistown, and is
but few rods west of the village of
Kreamer. 1t is constructed of huge
oaken logs, laid one upon another
with the creyices filed in with clay
or mortar, making avery solid struc-
ture. Although it has weathered
time and storms for over a century
1t Is still in very good condition
and would yet be an almost i'm.

side of the chimney and is decorat-
ed by parallel lines drawn by some
inventive individual before the mud
covering became dry aud hard.
About six feet from the earth floor
of planks three inches thick was run
across and upon this floor the set
tiers took refuge when attacked by
the Indians. The settlers fired
through loopholes about foot
square. Old residents state that it is
yet within their recollection the fact
of another building having been
erected at no remote distance from
the Fort Block House, where fami-
lies lived but they would all repair
at nightfall or in cases of emergency
to the Fortress.
Due north of where the Fort
stands, is the place where the Stuck
Massacre occurred in 1871, where
three people lost their lives. This
Massacre was quickly avenged by
the citizens who followed the fee
ing savages, overtaking them in the
vicinity of the New York border
where the Indian murderers were
surprised at night about their camp.
fire and dispatched, under the lead
ership of Messrs. Grove, Pence and
Stroh, three experienced Indian
fighters of that day.
- Mr.. Charles Keck owns the land
whereon Fort Hendricks is erected.
The Fort has Sariously been occu
pied as springhouse, tobacco
house, etc. Mr.. Keck and other
citizens think the State should mark
the spot as a monument to the times
and privations Of the past.
The readers of The PosT will recall
that the Commissioner appointed
by His Excellency Ex-Governor Pat
tison to prepare the history relating
to the Cumberland Valley in Penn
sylyania embracing sixteen counties
of the Commonwealth, was Jay
Gilfillan Weiser, Esquire of Middle
burgh. Mr.. Weiser is a lineal de-
scendant of Conrad Weiser, the ia
nous Indian Interpreter who rem
dered such eminent service a hun
dred years ago. We present here
with the meagre history Of what is
known as Fort Hendricks situated
in Snyder county.

erected by private enterprise and

to the one duty she is paid for, then
her condition is most pitiable. The
painful realization is present with
her, that the pure atmosphere of the
few hours she has with the little
ones, hours fragrant with the vir-
tues of self.control concentration
and duty-doing, is frequently coun-
teracted by the vile fumes of wicked
homes She is aware that the too
often morally spineless midgets that
come under her care will receive no
real preparation for life Ey a mere
conquest of the three Rs while the
home is daily inculcating lessons Of
wrong, recklessness, and rudeness.
And thus daily this reserved little
lady going about among you many
times without cooperation in the

of ever learning tithc of the re.

her efforts as n bulwark against the
floods of ignorance and Immortality
that are constantly threatening our
country.
