ELMER E. ALTHOUSE

 

Elmer E. ALTHOUSE, editor and proprietor of the “Sellersville Herald,” was born in Sellersville, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, December 12, 1874 and is a son of Milton D. and Elizabeth (Nace) Althouse. The pioneer ancestor of the subject of this sketch was Arndt (Andrew) ALTHOUSE, who emigrated from Germany in the ship “Fane” arriving in Philadelphia on October 17, 1749. He located on the Tohickon, near Church Hill, in Haycock township. He and his wife Anna Maria were members of Tohickon Reformed church at Church Hill, and their son Daniel was baptised there March 4, 1753.

 

Daniel ALTHOUSE was a farmer in Haycock township until 1785, when he located in Bedminster township, where he died in 1795. He was twice married and left the following children: Maria, Frederick, Abraham, Conrad, Michael, Jacob and Rebecca by the first wife, and Isaac, Elizabeth, Daniel, Martin and George by the second wife.*

 

Frederick ALTHOUSE, born in Haycock in 1783, on attaining manhood located in Rockhill township, where he purchased of Andrew Schlichter a farm of eighty-seven acres on the Bethlehem road, near Sellersville, and lived there the remainder of his life, dying January 26, 1852. He married Susanna SCHLICHTER, of Rockhill township and had nine cildren who survived him, viz: Thomas, Elias, Daniel, James, Andrew, Elizabeth, wife of Enos Sellers; Hannah, wife of Isaac BARNDT; Mary, wife of Noah WEISEL; and Abigail.

 

Elias ALTHOUSE, second son of Frederick and Susanna (Schlichter) ALTHOUSE, was born and reared in Rockhill township. He was born August 5, 1814 and died in July, 1869. At the death of his father he accepted a portion of the homestead and it was adjudged to him by the orphans’ court, and part of his allotment was a small lot included in the present limits of Sellersville borough. He was a tailor by trade, and probably lived on this lot and followed his calling. He moved back to Rockhill in 1856, and lived there until his death in 1869. He married Maria DIETZ, daughter of Abraham DIETZ, of Rockhill, and they were the parents of nine children, viz: Milton D.; Susanna, wife of Thomas R. LEISTER; Elizabeth, wife of Peter R. ZIEGENFUSS; Henry; John; Thomas; William: Amos; and Emma, wife of Charles HIMMELWRIGHT.
