HISTORYAt the date of my arrival at the farm in April, 1. Schuylkill Haven was in its infancy and there have been wonderful changes in its appearance since that time. Many of the inhabitants were new settlers drawn there from distant places on account of the rapidly growing demand for anthracite coal, which was then but a comparatively new industry. Its location on account of its accessibility to the mines that had been recently opened through the lateral railroad passing through the valleys in the region of the Schuylkill Canal and the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, caused it to be made a central point for shipping that article to the large cities of the state and to various points on the seaboard. There were, however, a number of the citizens who did not come from any great distance but were raised in the vicinity, and who as businessmen took a great interest in the upbuilding and welfare of the town. Amongst these were the Saylors, Deiberts, Rebers, Stagers, Huntzingers, Hessers, Byerlys and Dreibilbis, and no doubt others, who have escaped the writers recollection. The Dreibilbis family were the original owners of the most of the land on which the town was built. Amongst the new businessmen attracted to the town by the opportunities that new business offered were the following Gideon Bast, engaged in mining coal and shipping it by canal Henry G. Robinson who was the first shipping clerk and weighmaster for the Schuylkill Navigation Company, whose office was located back of the present bank building. Later this office, a frame building, was occupied by F. C. Zulick, who took Mr. Robinsons place and who had as his clerks Milton Wilkins, William A. Field and later his brother Harry B. Accounting Information Systems 12Th Edition Chapter 7 Solutions. Zulick.  The boats in the early history of the canal were of small capacity and were filled with coal and then run down a distance below the office and weighed with their lading in a scale adapted for the purpose. It was located at a point somewhere near where the skating rink is now located. At a later date the coal was weighed before it was put into the boats at the Navigation Landings, which were quite extensive, and where a great number of hands were employed in weighing the cola and dumping it into the boats, making a lively scene and keeping two locomotives busy bringing the small four wheel yellow cars of the Navigation Company from the lateral railroads and placing them in their proper position at the different scales, where the coal was weighed whilst in the cars, the quantity noted down by the clerks and then dumped into the boats ready to be consigned to their destination. Shortly after the change had been made in weighing the coal, a large brick building was built in Spring Garden near the landing, to which Mr. Zulick and his office force were removed and they were continued there until March 7, 1. Schuylkill Haven was abandoned. The building has been used since for dwellings. Others who came to Schuylkill Haven in its early history were Captain Harry Hesser, who came from Orwigsburg and John Worts who came from Conshohocken. They were both employed by the railroad company. Mr. Hesser, the father of our present station agent, was employed for many years for furnishing wood for the companys locomotives, and which was a very necessary article in the early days of the railroad. John Worts was the first foreman of the car shop and built the first shop with his own hands, and for the first year or two, did all the repairs himself without employing any help. The railroad ticket office at the time the writer came to the county to reside was located on the opposite side of the railroad from where it is now located, but was soon afterwards moved to the same side that it is now but was at the corner of Main Street. The agent at that time and for many years was John Wilson, Sr., the grandfather of the present Court Stenographer, and a lot of other Wilsons, as he had a large family of children and grandchildren. As to the appearance of the town itself at this time, there was no indication of its ever becoming of its present size and good looking appearance. Like most new towns that spring up suddenly on account of a new business, the buildings were small and mostly frame, and the highways were not kept in a very clean condition or very well graded, but that does not cast any reflections upon the citizens, as they were too busy with important business matters to take the time to make them any better, but they were not too busy to get a good water supply, as they seem to be at present. A short description of Main Street at that time may be of interest. On the south side between the railroad and Saint John Street, the buildings were all small frame buildings, used as business places except the two story hotel at the present location of Hotel Grand, which was a pretty good sized two story building called Washington Hall with a good sized picture of the father of his Country hanging out front as a sign and was kept by a man with the unfamiliar name of Jones. He had but one arm having lost the other accidentally whilst handling a gun. On the corner next to the railroad was a two story dwelling house of pretty good size, where George Freed, Sr. Greetings, my Westerosi window envelopes As you can probably guess, last weeks episode of Game of Thronesand its increasing dominance over the pop culture. Adjoining this house was the jewelry store of Mahlon Allebach, who also repaired watches and clocks. Next to this was the barber shop of Absalom Webber, who did a flourishing business in his line. It was in the shop that the writers father met John Worts, the foreman of the car shop, for the first time and the result of this casual meeting was that a farmer boy living on the Schuylkill Mountain was shortly afterwards installed as clerk and timekeeper at the car shops, where he remained for half a century. The position came to the writer very unexpectedly having about as much of an idea of leaving the farm and going to work for a railroad company as he had of taking a voyage to the moon. But God moves in mysterious ways. On the north side of Main Street commencing at the railroad, was the old covered railroad bridge, which had a footpath on the outside. Near the end of this bridge was the office of Cap Hesser, the wood agent and his clerk Jacob Kline. From there to Saint John Street were the following businesses John Labenbergers saddler shop, later occupied by Joseph Graeff and Erastus Moser then came Schraders tin smith shop F. G. Boas hat store, and at the corner where the National Bank now stands was a building occupied as a bakery and confectionery by Alexander Saylor.

There were no doubt other buildings on this part of Main Street which escape the writers memory. Some of the business places on Main Street above Saint John Street were as follows on the corner of Saint John and Main Street, where the large store of P. T. Hoy and Sons is now located, was a general store kept by James B. Levan and George Kauffman. They also were engaged in buying and cutting of timber tracts, the product of which was sold to the railroad and canal companies. Adjoining this building was the hardware store of Keefer and Wilt.

Above this going northward, Abraham Saylor, who was engaged in boat building a short distance below the rolling mill, and his brother, Daniel Saylor, who had a shoe store, were located. John Rudy also had a shoemaking establishment in this block, and the store now occupied as a hardware store by Sausser Brothers, was occupied by B. F.

On the same side of the street above Saint Peter Street, was the shoe store of Jonathan Heisler, who was for a number of years the steward at the Almshouse.
