Listed two households from David
STROUB (æ 36). It's hard to figure the relationship between
the two David's because they're only one year apart in age.

10. John W. Jordan, Edgar Moore Green, & George T. Ettinger,
eds. 1905. Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical
and Personal Memoirs of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Lewis
Publ. Co., New York (excerpts online at Karen Smith Furst's web site):
| DAVID H. STRAUB, who is now living retired in Lehighton,
but who for many years was industriously and successfully identified with
agricultural pursuits in Carbon county, belongs to one of the early families
of the Lehigh Valley, of Than origin.
His grandfather, Theodore [Theobald] Straub, was born in
what is known as Dry Land, a little hamlet located between Easton and Bethlehem.
He was an extensive distiller, and a man of considerable force of character
and local influence in his day, being widely known as an industrious, upright
and worthy citizen. His family numbered five sons: Emanuel,
Daniel,
John,
David
and Thomas, and three daughters.
David Straub, the father of D.H. Straub, was born
at Dry Land, and in his youth became familiar with the duties and labors
that fall to the lot of the agriculturist. After attaining man's
estate he continued to follow the pursuit to which he had been reared,
and owned and cultivated one hundred and thirty-six acres of valuable land.
During his active life he amassed considerable property both in real estate
and personality. In all of his business relations with his fellow
men he was honorable and trustworthy, and commanded the respect and good
will of all with whom he became associated, either in business or social
relations. He married Polly Oldwine, and they became the parents
of eleven children: Charles, Thomas, Daniel,
Levi,
John,
David
H., Mary, Harriet,
Josiah,
Emeline and
Amelia,
but David H. and the daughters are the only members of that once
numerous household now living.
David H. Straub was born in Towamensing township, Carbon
county, Pennsylvania, July 20, 1833. He was reared and educated there,
and in his youth learned the bricklayer's trade, which he followed for
five years, from 1851 until 1856. He then turned his attention to
farming and for thirty years resided upon a farm, continuing to make it
his home until 1886, when he removed to Lehighton. Here he owns good
city property in addition to his rich and productive tract of land of two
hundred acres in East Penn township, Carbon county. He is a worthy
citizen of the borough of Lehighton, and that he has the confidence and
trust of his fellow townsmen is indicated by the fact that he was chosen
by popular vote for the office of borough treasurer. He has also
been treasurer for the fire and water companies of Lehighton, and while
residing in East Penn township he filled several local offices. His
religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Lutheran church,
in which he has also occupied several official positions.
Mr. Straub has been twice married. In 1856 he wedded Miss
Drucilla
Harter, and they became the parents of a daughter, Annie, who
is now the wife of Mr. Hoppis. In 1872 Mr. Straub wedded
Mrs.
Amelia Hawk, who by her first marriage had two sons, Emery and
David.
The former resides at East Penn, and the latter is a minister of the Lutheran
church in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. By the second marriage
of Mr. Straub there are two children: Rev Harvey L. Straub,
a minister of the Lutheran church, at Berneville, now stationed in Berks
county, Pennsylvania; and Arville D., the wife of Rev. Wilmer
Heldt, pastor of Lutheran church at Centerville, Northampton county,
Pennsylvania. |
