HENRY DAVIDHEISER



by Ronny O. Bodine

28 September 2013





HENRY DAVIDHEISER was born 1759-1761, being aged 60 on 2 Dec 1820, 69 on Dec 1828 and 79 in Dec 1838; died 19 Aug 1838 in Greenwich Township, Berks County.



Henry Davidheiser served as a Private in the 4th Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Colonel Butler during the Revolutionary War. He submitted two declarations, one on 2 Dec 1820 when aged 60 and another on 8 Dec 1828 when aged 69 as a resident of Alsace Township in Berks County. He stated he enlisted in May 1778 in Berks County in a company commanded by Captain Robert Connely in the Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Colonel Butler and that at the expiration of his service he was honorably discharged at Carlisle. His application was approved. He died 19 Aug 1838 leaving a will.



His death was reported in The Reading Adler of 28 Aug 1838: Heinrich Davidsheiser, a soldier of the RW, died on 19 Aug 1838, aged 79, in Greenwich Twp., Berks County.



The will of Henry Devitshiser of Greenwich Township, Berks County, was written 11 Dec 1837 and proved 10 Sept 1838. Therein was named only his widow, Elizabeth, who was also appointed the executor. (Berks County Wills, vol. 8, p. 72)



On 10 April 1844, his widow, Elizabeth Davidheiser, aged 73, applied for a widow?s pension. To prove her case evidence was provided showing she had married Henry Davidheiser on 28 April 1789 in Reading, Berks County and that her name before marriage was ELIZABETH MAURER. On 9 Oct 1850, now residing with her son Solomon in South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Elizabeth Davidheiser, now blind, appeared before the Lehigh County Court in the company of her son Solomon to clear up a matter regarding her widow?s pension.





In 1850, Elizabeth Davidheiser lived with her son Solomon and his family in South Whitehall Township. The family was recorded under the name HISER and consisted of Solomon 40, his wife Lydia 41, 4 children and his mother Elizabeth, 79.



The German will of Elizabeth Davidheiser of Greenwich Township, Berks County was written 15 May 1846 and named her sons Heinrich, John, Jacob, Solomon, and Samuel and daughters Anna, wife of Jacob Wisser and Elizabeth. Peter Klein was appointed executor. On 17 Sept 1851 an inventory was submitted that included a bond from Jacob Wisser dated 12 April 1845 for $275. On 13 April 1852, Solomon Davidheiser submitted an accounting of the estate and noted the bond from Jacob Wisser had not yet been collected.

THOMAS L. WIESER, painter and paper-hanger
of Allentown, was born Nov. 26, 1847, in North
Whitehall township, Lehigh county. He was
educated in the public school at Cedarville and
brought up on a farm until 1864, when he enlisted
in the Civil War as a private of the 2d
Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery and served until
Feb. 20, 1866, when he was mustered out at
City Point. During his service he was wounded
in the right leg. After his discharge he returned
home and learned the trade of painter under
Amos and James Unger, at Allentown, where
he served an apprenticeship of three years. He
then followed his trade as a journeyman in Ohio,
Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin, after which
he returned to Allentowm. He and his brother
Henry then conducted a general painting business
for a time until 1871, when he embarked in the
business for himself and since then has been^ engaged
as a house painter and paper-hanger in a
successful manner, his place being at No. 119

• Obituary: 7 Feb 1928, The Morning Call, Allentown, PA, pages 5 & 19; Emanuel W. Reinhard, commander of E. B. Young Post No. 87, G.A.R., veteran construction engineer and one of the city's grand old men, died last night at his home, 905 ½ Allen street. He was in his eighty-first year. His death came suddenly after an illness of only four weeks, to the day, during which he, himself, regarded his afflictions as only temporary. He died, surrounded by members of his family, calmly and peacefully and in full possession of all of his faculties. Few men of Allentown have lived a more quiet and industrious life and at the same time have been so well known and universally respected than Emanuel Reinhard, and his death last night brought genuine grief not only to members of his large family, but to his legion of friends, fellow war veterans, employers and co-workers. For sixty years Mr. Reinhard was known in these parts as one of the best authorities in construction engineering and there are still many large buildings in Allentown that were erected under his personal supervision. During the past thirty years he was in charge of all construction for the Arbogast and Bastian company, and as late as January 6, was actively on the job. Prior to that time he was connected with William H. Gangewere Construction company. Mr. Reinhard's last appearance in public was on January 7, the day before he was forced to take to his bed, when he was installed as commander of E. B. Young Post for the third successive year. He had long been an active member of the post and always regarded the association with fellow veterans as one of the great pleasures of his life. As one of the organizers and charter members of Livingston Castle and St. Mary's Commandery, Knights of the Golden Eagle, he also achieved a record of distinction, and during his younger years, was drill master in the commandery. The Sons of Veterans and the Ladies' Relief Corps of the G.A.R. likewise considered themselves fortunate in listing him as a prominent member. On August 18, 1864, the age of seventeen, he enlisted as a private in Captain Roth's company E., 202nd Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and was discharged on August 3, 1865, after an active year of service during which he distinguished himself for his bravery and resourcefulness. The regiment had a hazardous campaign and was engaged almost daily in combating Col. Mosby's guerillas along the Orange and Alexander road in Virginia. The storming of Fort Stetman as well as the hotly contested of the skirmish battles, Mr. Reinhard was wounded and the effects of the hurt followed him during his entire life. A giant in stature and physically as strong as iron, he always commanded respectful attention among men. But, in contrast to his physique, he was mild-mannered, soft spoken and considerate of his fellow. Despite his advanced age, his faculties were keen, his eyesight excellent and his iron nerve unaffected by the rigors of a long life-time. At the age of eighty, he astonished builders by walking intrepidly across girders and beams on buildings whose construction he was supervising, climbing ladders and performing other feats usually reserved for younger men. Of him it was said that he was one of the few builders who could read and grasp the smallest details of a blue-print at a glance, and his advice was often sought by other engineers. And of him it was often said by those who marveled at his activity: "Emanuel Reinhard will never die." He, himself, frequently predicted that he would "die in the harness." Dr. Robert L. Schaffer, his physician, was quoted as saying repeatedly during his last illness: "During all my practice, I have never seen such stamina and resistance." Mr. Reinhard stood over six feet in height and weighed over 200 pounds. Politically he was a staunch Republican and some years ago was intimately associated with Walter L. Jones, for more than a quarter of a century Republican leader of Lehigh county. During the administration of Mayor E. B. Young, 1876-78, Allentown's fifth mayor, Mr. Reinhard served for a while as a policeman, but later returned to his building activities. Mr. Reinhard's religious activities for many years were centered in and about Seibert U. E. church, whose edifice he helped to build.

Notes:

Oliver F. Wisser, of South Whitehall township, was born in that township, March 2, 1872. He has followed farming all his life. In 1900 he began farming where he now lives. His farm consists of 115 acres and was formerly known as the
Henninger homestead. In 1912 he purchased the Phaon Hummel farm of 65 acres, located near Crackersport. It is now cultivated by Edwin Wisser. The house upon the tract was built in 1800. That he is a man of prominence in his community is
evident from the fact that he has filled the following offices in his township: School Director, being President of the board for two years; tax collector and road commissioner. He filled the office of

Deacon for six years in the Jordan Lutheran Church.
