Senator Harvey Huffman

Senator Harvey Huffman Elected during a tumultuous national period, on December 1, 1936, Harvey Huffman emerged as the first Democratic president pro tempore since 1871’s Albert Gallatin Brodhead. The Honorable Harvey Huffman was the son of Elias D. and Elizabeth Smith Huffman, born May 19, 1869 at Marshall’s Creek, Monroe County. His father owned a general store and built the Marshall’s Falls House, in which Harvey grew up. He attended and later taught public school in Craig’s Meadows, graduating at Kutztown Normal School in 1891. He read law under the Honorable John B. Storm of Stroudsburg and matriculated from the University of Pennsylvania with a law degree. He became a member of the Monroe County bar in 1896. Huffman served the party as a delegate to numerous political conventions and chaired the county committee. He also served Monroe as county solicitor, later forming the Stroudsburg office of Eilenberger and Huffman. Harvey represented Monroe, Carbon, Pike, and Wayne in the state Senate, in four elections: 1910, 1922, 1926, and 1934. He served as minority leader during the Pinchot and Earle administrations, eventually elected president pro tempore on December 1, 1936. Senator Huffman participated as a legislative member of the General State Authority, February 24, 1937.  During George Howard Earle’s first year, Harvey sponsored the Fair Employment Act, the Milk Price-Control Act, but opposed passage of the Unemployment Compensation Act. As pro tem he backed Earle’s graduated income tax initiative, the Little Wagner Act (“Yellow Dog” bill), establishment of the state Civil Rights Commission, the Pennsylvania Labor Mediation Act, the Teacher’s Tenure Act, the Pennsylvania Safety Commission Act, and the Clean Steam Act of 1937. Huffman additionally supported passage of the Poor Bill, establishing the Department of Public Assistance and County Boards of Assistance, formation of the State General Authority, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission Act, the McGinness Labor Relations Act (minimum wage, occupational safety, collective bargaining), and Governor Earle’s undoing – the 1938 Grand Jury Laws, nullifying court intervention relevant to legislative matters (i.e. impeachment).   Unfortunately, Huffman’s last legislative push, Earle’s Grand Jury Laws, created a public perception of wrongdoing as an Earle “scandal” apologist. Despite the administration’s short-lived problems, Senator Huffman’s courtesy, leadership, and negotiating skill presented the Senate of Pennsylvania one of its beloved members. The Honorable Harvey Huffman passed away on the last day of his term, November 30, 1938, 70 years old. Ironically, Huffman’s death occurred on the final day of the Democratic Caucus’s control of the upper house. The Monroe Record noted “it seems appropriate in a way that these two stars should set at the same time.”  Members of the Senate of Pennsylvania served as pallbearers. Senator Huffman never married. https://books.google.com/books?id=5LY-AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA1071&lpg=PA1071&dq=harvey+huffman+1869&source=bl&ots=BpYcqduyxU&sig=GnaLk0PlC2w9pVCjLovLs_m9594&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiD4dS5jpbNAhXMPT4KHaH5DhAQ6AEIMTAE#v=onepage&q=harvey%20huffman%201869&f=false

Jacob Ruster

Jacob Ruster born 20 Nov 1801  in Katzweiler, Pfalz, Bavaria. He marries Susanna Schlamb in Germany 2 Dec 1824. They like so many others decided to leave their home and with their children Jacob 20, Cass 10(?), Peter 8 & Philip 6 arrive in N.Y. N.Y. to start a new life. Jacob and Susanna, make a new home in Marshalls creek, Smithfield Township, Monroe Co., Pa. by 1860. There they set up housekeeping and farm and live until their deaths (Jacob) 22 Oct. 1886 and 17 March 1898. They are buried at St. Pauls Lutheran Church Cemetery, Marshalls Creek, Pa. The area also known as Craigs Meadows. I found stones for them and their son Peter in the back of the church in the church wall. The church dedicated in 1855 has added many additions and I can assume one of them over the burial site of the Rusters. https://www.facebook.com/saints.pauls

Colonel John Rosenkrans

When doing research on Walter Vancampen last week I got distracted with a book by Allen Rosenkrans 1900, The Rosenkrans Family. I have a Rosenkrans’s in my family tree. Rachel Rosenkrans married a Gysber VanGorder.  The books preface struck me so, I had to check the date of the book, which was 1900. It reads: It is said that an ungrateful generation neglects the memory of its fathers but Moses the inspired law giver, cherished the memory of his fathers and made a record of them and of his people for the benefit of future generations, let us do likewise. The people of the United States of America with their enterprising and impetuous spirit ever in quest of new discoveries and greater acquisitions, have somewhat neglected the things of the past, but a new era is now being inaugurated of national expansion and world- wide improvements, and it behooves us a progressive people to treasure the valuable things of the past and make provision for the future.

Thinking of the family …lets talk about Colonel John Rosenkrans. His burial is unknown, but a marker says it’s about 500 East of the marker. I can also find him listed in the records for Shapanack Dutch Reformed Church Cemetery, Walpack Center, Sussex Co., NJ records. He was born 6 July 1724 Rochester, Ulster Co., NY. His parents Alexander and Martretjen Depue Rosenkrans. They moved and started their family in the wilds of Sussex Co., NJ, in the 1700. His younger brother Harmen Rosenkrans. is believed to have built part of the Van Campen Inn. John’s son Benjamin was also a Colonel in the War of 1812. John married Margaret Dewitt (1731-8 Aug 1751) in 1751. She also has a very long family history, there are `11 children named in Johns will, When reading the History of Sussex County NJ, it names other children they could have had others that died before him: John, Jacob, Ariantie, Alexander, Catharine, Charrick DeWitt, Levi, Joseph, Benjamin, Elijah, Simeon, Polly. John died 15 Jun 1786 at Walpack Center, NJ. There is no stone for his wife Margaret either.

 He enlisted in May 1777, 3^rd Regiment of Sussex Co. NJ. He fought at the battle of Germantown and was shot in the shoulder.

Samuel L. Bedford

Samuel L. Bedford rests in Laurel Hill Cemetery, Minisink Hills Pa. his stone sits off to the side in the weeds, and most visiting the cemetery would not notice it, except for me. Samuel is born 6 August 1846 in New Jersey. In the 1880s he works for his mother in law Jane Barnes on her farm in Brotzmanville, Pahaquarry, Warren Co., NJ. His stone is interesting because of the stones symbols, the crown and the star. Various symbols have different meanings. The star; These pick in night's veil suggest, to Christians, "the Light shining in the darkness, the Light that darkness could not overpower". Or as Mithras put it: "I am a star which goes with thee and shines out of the depths." Stars stand for the spirit, piercing the darkness as an expression of their triumph against the overwhelming odds of oblivion.

Five pointed stars have been used both to represent both the spirit rising to heaven and, when inverted, its treason as an instrument of Evil. The six-pointed star or mogen david, now recognized as the emblem of international Judaism, was but a minor motif until its adoption by the Zionist movement in the late 19th century.

The Crown: The crown atop the head of many saints and a few worldly devils attests to the soul's achievement. Early crowns were made out of plants and derived their meaning from those herbs. As men fashioned crowns out of more enduring substances like gold, they added little spikes to call to mind the power and authority of the sun. more about cemetery symbols here https://mysendoff.com/2012/08/the-grave-secrets-of-symbols-and-iconography-of-the-cemetery/

So knowing these things, makes you know a little more who Samuel was just by looking at his stone. He was a strong man, and the Psalm at the bottom lets you know he had a strong faith. This reads from the King James Bible; lord make me know mine end and the measure of my days that I may know how frail I am.

Samuel enlisted in the Army in Sept 1861 and was not discharged till 29 Sept 1865. That is a long time to be in the civil war, which ended in June 1865. I find 2 enlistment records for him one from Pa and one for NJ

He marries Margaret Barnes in 1870 and by 1880 they have 3 children; James (after Samuels father) John (after Margaret’s father) & Rutherford (could be a surname) .

Samuel dies on Feb 10 1890.

Levi Dewitt

I can understand why this spot was chosen for a burial spot. The top of a hill, not usable for farming. It is over grown now but you can imagine the view with no trees and under growth. This is the stone of Levi Dewitt 1781- 7 Mar 1863 83 year. A farmer born in N.J. or NY depending on your source. Isaac and his wife Jane Courtright DeWitt were very early settlers to Smithfield Township. I can find them on all the early census records, his name spelled Levite. In their family the name Levi and DeWitt were used over and over again. The Rosenkrans family have a child named Levi Dewitt Rosenkrans. They owned and lived near what we know as the John Turn farm/ Camp Ministerium. The DeWitt Ferry was operated by three generations of the DeWitt family.  They moved back to Deer Park, Orange co., NY. In abt 1852. Their children: John, Julia, Sarah, Jacob, Samuel, Levi, Susannah, Margaret & William. There are few other stones visible none readable. I do know that his son John 1818-1889 and his wife Sarah Ann Treible 1820-1901 along with Jacob wife are also buried there. https://www.loc.gov/resource/hhh.pa0595.photos/?sp=1

Solomon Stewart

Solomon Stewart named after his father was a farmer from Pa. He was born 30 Aug. 1876. Living and working in Egypt Hills, Lehman Township, Pike Co.., Pa. I choose him this week because I wanted to point out that not all those who are buried in these abandoned cemeteries were buried in the 1800. Solomon died in 1941. I wonder what his thoughts would be looking over his resting place now.  His wife’s name was Esther Hineline and she was the daughter of William & Sara. Esther died 7 Feb 1919 of Influenza and is buried in Bushkill cemetery. The list is incomplete for the Reformed Dutch Church, Bushkill Pa., but I did find Esther on it.When he was 42 years old he register in Sept 2 1918 for the WWI. I have not done enough research to find out if he served or not. Esther dies in the 1920s and he remarries Mary. A notice published in the Pocono Record 4 Dec. 1972 asking for information regarding the cemetery for the Tock island lake project.  Since this is a ancestry link not sure what you’re going to see.http://interactive.ancestry.com/51875/News-PE-PO_RE.1972_12_04-0003/510005251?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.com%2fcgi-bin%2fsse.dll%3fgst%3d-6&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnSearchResults&rc=1633,2100,1831,2129;1774,2171,1957,2200;1650,3933,1762,3962;2099,2841,2207,2870;1975,2979,2102,3008;1975,3012,2099,3041;1975,3046,2102,3075;2118,3046,2229,3075;1881,5566,2058,5595

Walter VanCampen

Malvina Sutton VanCampen

Walter Van Campen; The Van Campen family dates back to early settlers of New Jersey. The VanCampen inn owned by Isacc Vancampen was the family home and farm and not really a “Inn” more like a weigh station for traveling colonial Americans. Find more info here on the Inn, http://www.njskylands.com/hsoldmine072

Jim Price living at the Inn: https://www.njherald.com/20180513/memories-of-residing-in-the-van-campen-inn#

Walter was born 19 Sept 1864 in Warren County NJ, To George and Mary Zimmerman VanCampen. George learned farming from his dad, but became a Grocer in Newton, NJ. He married about 1892 to Malvina Jane Sutton (1871-1954). Her parents Malachi & Mary Mitchel Sutton called her Mallie. They had 2 children Gerald Sutton and Walter Meredith (1898-1965). They made their home in Pahaquarry Township, Warren county N.J. near their families. They are both buried in Calno Cemetery Pahaquarry Township. Im going to add a link to the cemetery. This is a cemetery that is a complete mess. Its a large cemetery that is really hard to find and move around in since it is surround by briers. We are fortunate that their stone is still standing. Most of the other family members are also interred here but impossible to find themCalno Cemetery, Pahaquarry, Warren Co., NJ

Lester C. Henry

Lester was 1 year old when he died 4 Jun 1886. his paretns William ans Ann T, VanGorden. he is buried in the Calno Cemetery, Pahaquarry Cemetery, Warrenn Co., NJ. The cemetery is unmaintained I

very lucky to get the photos I did get.

Isaac Zimmerman

This week i was visiting relatives at Laurel Hill Cemetery. The cemetery located in Minisink Hills, Pa. off of River Road, has the best examples of German tombstones in the area. The cemetery is well maintained except were the older stones are located. This makes it difficult to get good photos and a good look at the stones. This is the stone of Isaac Zimmerman. I haven’t found any information that Isaac was married. His parents who are also buried there are, Johnn George and Susanna Margaretha. She died in 1844. The 3^rd photo is of her stone. Johnn George bought land from Daniel Shoemaker and named his town Branchville also known today as Minisink Hills.

The translation; To the memory of Isaac Zimmerman was born on 27^th February 1785 in Tulpehecon (Tulpehocken) He died in 11^th December 1839 in the age 52 years 9 months an 15 day

Tulpehocken is in Berks Co.Pa., the area is unique because 95% of its original inhabitants were of German origins. From the Zimmerman L. Archives roots web.com from Gladys Badger.  http://newsarch.rootsweb.com/th/read/ZIMMERMAN/1999-01/0915904506

Charles Holdermon

Charles Holdermon 13 years 3moths 1 day. He died 1 September 1852. His stone tells us he was the son of John & Barbara Holderman.  More than 164 years have gone by and what Charles stone has gone through it’s a miracle, that it’s still readable and intact. Charles is buried at the Michael-Walter Cemetery, Middle Smithfield twp. along River Road with in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Many of the graves were moved to Zions Lutheran Church Cemetery up the street. A better description of were Charles lays at rest is in the middle of a field amongst pickers bushes so big they would take your arm off trying to get away from them. How I feel about this… well many words come to mind but DISRESPECTFUL is the biggest. SO….since I want to keep this G rated. Let’s talk about Charles and know he is not forgotten.  I assumed his mother Barbara 1786-1867 is buried at Zions and I am going to assume his father is there also under the surname Halterman and there is a John Halterman 1776-1862 buried at Zions. A while back myself and a few others ladies from all over the USA got together and researched the Ace family. Charles mother was more than likely Barbara Ace d/o John. George Ace & Barbara Boney. I did find Halteman John, Barbary, Abraham, Crissa & Catherine Strunk in the 1850 census for Middle Smithfield Twp. Monroe co but not Charles. What happened to Charles? Do any kind of search for the year 1852 and you can find any number of illness Charles could have gotten.

Cullen Yates

Cullen Yates 24 Jan. 1866-1 July 1945
buried at Shawnee Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Yates, a successful artist in his day, was part of the New York art scene. Born in Ohio in 1866, he studied in Paris, had studios in New York and was a resident of artist colonies in Old Lyme, Conn., and Ogonquit and Monhegan Island, Maine. Yates and his family settled in Shawnee-on-the-Delaware in 1910, encouraged by Charles Worthington who was hoping to establish a summer artist's colony with Yates as the resident artist. He remained there until his death.http://www.pbs.org/…/cullen-yates-hazy-day-autumn-oil-ca-19…

John Simon Meyers

John Simon Meyers, I have always wanted to stop at Shafer School House Cemetery, but am always just traveling by there. I got a chance to stop this summer, while traveling that way more than usually. I was surprised that the cemetery had so many old stones, I had it in my mind that the cemetery was not very old. There is a chapel next to it named “Grace Chapel” which was original Shafer school house. Here is more information from an article written by Ms. Dahlma,. Yesterdays photos, for the Pocono Record. http://blogs.thepoconos.com/yesterdays-photos/2014/02/04/1890-shafers-school-house/

The stone was a replacement for the original that was unreadable. It was erected by family members, and the details on the new stone are a genealogist dream. John Simon Meyer born 26 May 1790 in Hamilton Twp., Monroe Co., Pa. Going by the name of Simon all his life, he and his family lived in Stormville, were he was a Master Carpenter and farmer. He was the son of Johan Ludwig and Katherine Topper Meyer. He married Susanna Shirly (20 Oct. 1788-2 July 1878), she was the daughter of John and Hannah Trapp Shirly. They had children: Rachel, John Melchoir, Hannah (married Peter Marsh) and John Lewis.  Simon died 2 Feb. 1871 and he and his wife and most of their family is buried at Shafer School House Cemetery.

Gnaden Huetten

 I got a chance this spring to visit Lehighton, while there I saw a little notation on one of the maps we had, marked with a cross saying Gnadenhutten. “it’s a cross” … “must be a cemetery”. Lehighton Cemetery is adjacent to the Gnaden Huetten Cemetery, but not the same cemetery, they have separate records. I’m hoping my google maps pin works https://www.google.com/maps/place/400+S+4th+St,+Lehighton,+PA+18235/@40.8277721,-75.7160447,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c5b32acbc6731f:0x9bdd80d93d34f0f9!8m2!3d40.8277721!4d-75.713856

On the night 24^th November 1755 the Moravian’s, sitting down to supper, when their home was attacked by Indians.  Some hide, once the house was set on fire those in hiding fled, jumping from the attic and fleeing into the woods. There is a monument to those who died. The monument lists the names, but also scripture, the Psalm 116:15 seems to be wrong. The verse normally states
"...precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints.”  The stone was carved,
 "...precious in the fight of the Lord..."

There were 11 Victims: Gottlieb Anders 38, Christina Vollmer Anders 34 their son Johann Anders 1 year, 2 month born in Nazareth.

Martin Nitschmann 41, Susanna Weicht Nitschmann 34 She was taken captive and died 6 months later

Catharine Ludwig Sensemann 38, Leonhard Gattermeyer 34 a blacksmith,

Survivors: Joachim Senseman 48, George Partsch, Susanna Eller Partsch 33, Peter Worbass 33, and Joseph Sturgis 17.

Joseph Sturgis has a interesting family history. When he was about 10 his father died and his mother sent him to the Moravian Boys School in Oley. He went on to become a very successful Potter in Lititz, Pa.when he was 79 and had 7 sons and 3 daughters. Julius was one of his sons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgis_Pretzel_House.

Catherine Tucker Bower

Catherine Tucker Labar Bower was born on 10 March 1865 to Deamus (Dennis) Tucker and Mary Ann Nauman Tucker. Catherine was married the 1^st time after 1880 to a Labar.

Stephen Rhoads

Stephen Rhoads

I added my Tomb Stone Tuesday for this week already but while looking threw my photos i kept coming back to baby Stephen Rhoads. i really cant tell you much about his family or what he died from.Mortality was high for infants and small children, especially for diphtheria, smallpox, yellow fever, and malaria. Born 28 Jan 1822, died 27 March 1824. Stephen is buried at Shafer School House Cemetery. It always amazes me when some stones are barley readable then you get a stone like this. Stephens stone looks like it was erected for him yesterday not 194 years ago!!! Child stone are normal small. His parents are Adam and Rebecca. i found little on them. i found a Adam in the 1840 census records for Hamilton Township, that census does not list wives or children. Thinking of baby Stephen. other photos; https://www.findagrave.com/me…/55175370/stephen-rhoads/photo

Ann Brodhead

Ann Brodhead  Its always awesome to find a stone that has or is still standing and readable after 158 years. A single women who lived to be 82. I have no doubt that Ann was a fascinating women. Her middle name was probably Garten. She was the daughter of Capt. Luke & Elizabeth Harrison Brodhead. The granddaughter of the founding family of Dansbury (East Stroudsburg). Buried Shawnee Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Her father was not only in the American Revolution he was wounded at Brandywine, Pa. Just a side note; I randomly took photos of stones I knew nothing about Ann, was extremely surprised her mother and my surname were the same. Sorry, Harrison family we are not related, but it was a “how cool” is that moment.

Flossie Harrison- Robinson

My great aunt Flossie Harrison- Robinson.  She died before I was born, but while looking at some old family photos, I have been thinking about her more, and I just admire her. My grandfather was very close to her and talked about her often. She was a true force of nature, full of kindness and a true rebel. She was born 5 October 1913 Patricia Flossie Harrison was the older of the two daughter born to Jefferson & Daisy Strunk Harrison family of 13. She marries William Robinson, who is African American. I know nothing about William, birth, death even where he lived. I know he was alive and visited Flossie when she was dying. Interviews with family member only describe him as a very kind husband and a very hard working man.  This leads to a number of questions. Where did they meet? Did they live together? Who did they get to marry them?  The simple fact is that it was against the law in Pa to intermarry until 1967. Its hard to wrap your brain around the fact that you could not marry who you were in love with until 1967. Aunt Flossie did not live long enough to know it.  The anti- miscegenation law is confusing, like most laws. It did ban marriage of whites from intermarrying with non-whites, primarily blacks but often also Native Americans and Asians. Flossie lived with her brother Stanley on Stofflet St in Stroudsburg and died at his home on 17 March 1963 from a large inoperable polyp in her Larynx. She was visited every day by William who use to care for her. She is buried in an unmarked grave in the Mountain Home Cemetery in Mt.Home, Pa.

Jane Pell Randall

Jane Pell Randall, born 5 Dec 1846. She is buried in Pine Grove Cemetery, South Sterling, Pike co. Pa. My grandfather Lewis Eggert is also buried their along with cousins and other family members. I have said this many times, I randomly just take photos of what “calls out” to me. I have been by Janes stone twice and have taken a picture of it each time. I found researching her really interesting and I am glad to share it with you. Jane is buried on the back side of the cemetery. If you take the road threw the cemetery she and some other graves are across from the house. I wonder if this was the original burial ground and then it just expanded from there. Jane Pell ancestors trace to Josiah Pell Sr.1734-1802 he fought in the American Revolution. Her pedigree can also be traced to the Pell family who were the Lordship of Pelham in Lincolnshire England. She died 12 Feb 1916 at Coolbaugh Twp., Monroe co., Pa. Jane parents Dr. Josiah (1807-1893) https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/78302937/josiah-pell & Patience Benjamin (1800-1859) Pell. Their children: Anna Clarissa 1837-1915, Phillander 1838-1898, George 1842-1864.In the 1880 census for Coolbaughs, It listed Jane as single and her father a Root herb Dr. I’ve been studying census records since I was 26 years old and have never seen that before. There is adopted children in the home also, Catherine Howey age 9 and I’m guessing brothers Micheal and Joel Nauman. When looking back to 1850 I was surprised to find that Janes real name was probably Hester or Esther Jane Pell. She married Frank L. Randell 2 Feb. 1899, he is still living when she dies in 1916. I cant find that she had any children. Her obituary Jane Pell Randall Died Feb. 12, 1916 aged 69 years Obituary - "Mrs. Frank Randall Dies - The death of Mrs. Frank Randall occurred on Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock, at her home at Mr. Pocono, resulting from an attack of acute bronchitis which culminated a week's illness. The deceased was the daughter of the late Dr. Pell, widely known throughout Monroe county. Mrs. Randall has been for years a resident of Mt. Pocono, and has for sometime been residing with her surviving husband at the late home located about two miles from that resort on the road to Tobyhanna. Deceased was aged 63 years, 2 months and 7 days. The funeral will be held on Wednesday at 10 o'clock with interment at Sterling. The Morning Press, East Stroudsburg, PA.
