Andreas VAN SCHNEIDER (or, as he signed himself in America, Andreas

SCHNEIDER), the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was born

in the year 1739, in Zweybrucken, or Deux Ponts, Rhenish Bavaria, and is

said to have belonged to the nobility of that cosmopolitan town, but,

having taken part as a mere youth in an uprising against the government,

was stripped of his nobility and property and forced to flee from the

country. He sold himself to the captain of a sailing vessel bound for the

port of Philadelphia, where he arrived some time in the year 1759. He bound

himself to a merchant in Philadelphia whose name has not been ascertained,

by whom it is said he was employed in the capacity of a farmer in the

neighborhood of Germantown for some years, and that later his employer sold

him sufficient stock and farming implements with which to embark in the

farming business for himself, taking his note without security for the

same. It is probable that his employers and benefactors were Abel JAMES and

John THOMPSON, of Philadelphia, prominent merchants on whose plantation in

Richland township, Bucks county, we find Andrew SCHNEIDER in 1775, and five

years later they conveyed to him 140 acres thereof, on which he lived and

died. He was a member of the first Associated Company of Richland township

in 1775, and is said to have rendered active service in the defense of the

rights of his adopted country during the Revolution and served as an

officer under Washington when he crossed the Delaware to attack the

Hessians on that memorable Christmas night. It is related of Mr. SCHNEIDER

that he was in such haste to join the army in the time of his country's

urgent need, that he left his team in the field hitched to the plow. After

service in the army of five years he settled on his farm in Richland, and

devoted his energies to the tilling of the soil, meanwhile rendering such

service to the public as the needs of the community in which he lived

demanded. In the latter part of the war he served as a collector of militia

fines, and, having in his hands at different periods considerable public

funds, he kept the money hid in places known only to himself in order to

protect his family from the depredations of the DOANE outlaws, who did not

hesitate to maltreat and torture the families of tax collectors in order to

ascertain the hiding place of the public money. In religion Andreas

SCHNEIDER was a member of the Lutheran church. He had received more than

the ordinary advantages in the way of education, and took an active

interest in the establishment of schools in the community in which he

lived. He spoke the French language fluently, and while living in the

neighborhood of Germantown was generally referred to as "the Frenchman." He

died on his Richland farm about the year 1816. He married in 1765 Margaret

JACOBI, whose parents were also early settlers in upper Bucks county, and

they were the parents of eleven children, viz.: Frederick, who married a

Miss ECKHART and had seven children; Elizabeth, who married Stephen

KNIZELEY and had five children; Catharine, who married Isaac BEAN and had

five children; Andrew Jr., who married Mary MICKLEY and had five children;

Margaret, who married John WEISEL and had ten children; Magdalena, who

married Jacob BEAN; Henry, who married a Miss MESSIMER and had one child;

George, who married Mary MICKLEY and had ten children; John, who married

Elizabeth HINKLE and had eleven children; Mary, who married Philip RUMFIELD

and had four children; and Susanna who never married.

Margaret is listed as one of the children of Andreas Schneider and Margaret Jacobi "who married John Weisel and had 10 children".

Richard Hite, Hite Family Connections in South-Central Pennsylvania: Descendants of Christopher and Margaret Hite of Bedford County and Conrad and Maria Hite of Somerset County (Millennium Services, Incorporated of Oro Valley, Arizona, 1999).

Jacob Weisel and Mary Hite

B. February 1803, St. Clair Township, Bedford County, PA. M. there ca.

1827 to Jacob Weisel (or Wisel, b. 20 December 1798, probably Bucks County,

PA) s/o. John Weisel and Margaret Schneider. Jacob came to Bedford County

with his parents ca. 1800. He and Mary lived most of their lives in King

Township in Bedford County where Jacob was a miller. They attended the Old

Log Lutheran and Reformed Church in Osterburg and some of their children

were baptized there. They may have briefly relocated to Juniata Township,

Blair County, PA in the 1850s because there is a communion record for them

in the nearby Newry Lutheran Church, which Mary's brother Conrad attended.

They had nine children altogether. Of their two sons who survived to

adulthood, one (John) spelled his surname as Weisel and the other (George)

used the spelling Wisel. Jacob d. 14 May 1883 in King Township and Mary d.

11 April 1886 in Hollidaysburg, Blair County, PA. Both of them are buried

in the village of Imler.

1. John Weisel

B. ca. 1828, present-day King Township, Bedford County, PA. M. ca. 1855,

Bedford or Blair County, PA to Mary E. Montgomery (b. 10 July 1835, Blair

County) d/o. Michael Montgomery (a native of Ireland) and Margaret

Tickerhoof. Mary was a Catholic, having been baptized in St. Patrick's

Catholic Church in Newry, PA. John and Mary adhered to the Protestant faith

early in their married life, as evidenced by the fact that their first child

was baptized in the Old Log Lutheran and German Reformed Church in

Osterburg, PA. For the first decade or so of their marriage, John and Mary

lived near his parents in present-day King Township, Bedford County, but in

the 1860s, they moved to Clearfield Township, Cambria County, PA, and

settled near the community of St. Augustine. By this time, they were

Catholics, as evidenced by the fact that all of their children who were born

in this area were baptized in St. Augustine Catholic Church. John worked as

a laborer. He and Mary had eight children. They both died sometime after

1880 and it is not certain if they remained in Clearfield Township or if

they moved away.

2. Barbara Ellen Weisel

B. 23 September 1830, present-day King Township, Bedford County, PA. M.

there 1852 to John Shull (b. 28 January 1833, Bedford County) s/o. Jacob

Shull and his wife Polly. About 1853, John and Ellen (as she was known)

moved to Union City in Randolph County, IN. They remained there only for a

short time, probably less than two years. Then they returned to Bedford

County. John worked as a farm laborer there. Then, in 1879, he and Ellen

moved again, this time to Madison Township, Sandusky County, OH. John

worked in a stone quarry there. By 1910, they had moved to Gibsonburg, also

in Sandusky County. They were the parents of ten children, but the names of

only seven are known. The others probably died in infancy. Ellen d. 24

March 1910 in Gibsonburg and was buried there in West Union Cemetery. After

her death, John moved to the nearby community of Helena, OH, apparently to

live with his son Jacob. He d. there 14 March 1917 and was buried next to

his wife in Gibsonburg.

3. Margaret Weisel

B. ca. 1832, present-day King Township, Bedford County, PA. M. ca. 1855,

Bedford County, to John W.M. Claar (b. 26 December 1838, Klahr, Blair

County, PA) s/o. Mathias Claar and Mary Musselman. Margaret and John had

seven children. Prior to her marriage to John, Margaret had a daughter

named Sarah. The father of Sarah is not known and it is also uncertain

whether or not he was married to Margaret. Margaret and John apparently

lived near Klahr where John was a collier. Margaret d. July 1875 and was

buried in Upper Claar Cemetery which is in Kimmel Township, Bedford County.

John m. 2nd 7 Mar 1878 to Rachel Walter. He d. 28 June 1903 in Baker

Summit, Bedford County and was buried in Burger Cemetery in Salemville, PA.

4. Ann Weisel

B. ca. 1835, present-day King Township, Bedford County, PA. Ann was still

single as late as 1883, when her father's estate was divided. She had

apparently lived with her parents for at least some of that time. Ann d.

sometime after 1883. If she ever married, the name of her husband is not

known.

5. Maria Weisel

B. ca. 1836, present-day King Township, Bedford County, PA. By the time

of her father's death in 1883, she was married to a man named Christopher

Wertz. It is not known at this time where Maria and Christopher lived or if

they had any children. Both of them d. sometime after 1883.

6. Hannah Weisel

B. ca. 1840, present-day King Township, Blair County, PA. Baptized 17

October 1840, Old Log Lutheran and German Reformed Church in Osterburg, PA.

It is very likely that Hannah d. before 1860. She was certainly deceased by

the time her father's estate was divided in 1883 because she was not named

as an heir to the estate.

7. Mary Weisel

B. 12 September 1842, present-day King Township, Bedford County, PA.

Baptized 12 November 1842, Old Log Lutheran and German Reformed Church,

Osterburg, PA. She m. ca. 1878, Bedford County, to George McCreary (b. 1

February 1852, Bedford County) s/o. Amos McCreary and Margaret Davis.

George and Mary had one daughter. Early in their married life, they lived

in the village of New Paris in Napier Township, Bedford County, where George

worked as a shoemaker. Mary d. sometime between 1883 and 1895, probably in

Roaring Spring, PA, where George was living by the time of the 1900 census.

George remarried in 1895, so it is likely that Mary's death occurred about a

year before that. George d. sometime after 1900.

8. George Colvin Wisel

B. October 1845, present-day King Township, Bedford County, PA. George

served in the 55th Pennsylvania Infantry of the Union Army during the Civil

War. M. ca. 1869, Bedford County, to Amanda Smith (b. April 1844, Bedford

County). Amanda's mother's first name was Mary, but the name of her father

is not known. George and Amanda lived near Fishertown in East St. Clair

Township of Bedford County where they had three children. George was a

laborer. He d. 30 March 1912 near Fishertown. Amanda d. there 22 July

1921. They are buried in St. Luke's Church of Christ Cemetery in

Fishertown.

9. James Weisel

B. ca. 1847, present-day King Township, Bedford County, PA, d. there before 1860.

FRANKLIN K. FICKES, M.D., a leading physician and surgeon at Tyrone, Pa.,

whose medical experience covers twenty-nine years, nineteen of these having

been passed in this city, was born November 4, 1854, in Bedford County,

Pa., a son of John and Rebecca (Weisel) Fickes. John Fickes was born in

what was then Union Township, Bedford County, Pa., in 1806. It was one of

the larger townships and was later divided into three, the part in which he

was born and lived now bearing the name of Queen Township. His father was

of German extraction, but was born in America, but his mother was of

Spanish blood. They lived and died in Bedford County. John Fickes located

on a farm following his marriage and continued there until his death, which

occurred in his eighty-sixth year. He was a supporter of the Republican

party from its organization. He married Rebecca Weisel, who was born in

1812, in Bedford County, a daughter of John Weisel, a native of Germany.

She lived to be eighty-eight years of age and was the mother of fifteen

children, all of whom survive except three. The eldest, John, is deceased.

Richard is a retired carpenter, living at Sandusky, O. Daniel, who died in

Montana in 1907, was a carpenter by trade. Rachel is the wife of Henry

Beegle and they live on a farm in Bedford County. William is a retired

farmer and lives on the old homestead. Henry follows the carpenter trade at

Altoona. Jacob was drowned when a child of three years. Emma is the wife of

John Dibert of Claysburg, Blair County. Anna is the wife of Joseph Sill, a

farmer of Bedford County. Sarah is the wife of Levi Hettzel, a carpenter,

and they reside at Nelson, Nebr. Thomas is also in business in Nebraska.

Maria is the wife of Michael Stuft, a resident of Kalispen, Mont. Abram is

a carpenter, following his trade in the city of Chicago. Franklin K. was

the fourteenth born in the above family. Lucinda, the youngest, is the wife

of Franklin Mock, and they live at Kalispen, Mont. The parents of the above

family were members of the German Reformed church. Franklin K. Fickes was

educated in the public schools and at Martinsburg Academy, after which he

taught school for five years, in the meanwhile having directed his studies

along the lines of medicine and was thus well prepared for entrance at the

College of Physicians and Surgeons, in Baltimore, Md. He was creditably

graduated in the class of 1881, and in the following years located at

Warrior's Mark, in Bedford County, where he remained until 1891, coming

then to Tyrone. He is a member of the Tyrone Medical Club, and enjoys a

large and substantial practice which has been built up on professional

ability. Dr. Fickes was married in 1884 to Miss Ella May Kieffer, a

daughter of Joseph Kieffer, of Warrior's Mark, and they have had five

children, namely: Ralph and Forest, both of whom are deceased; Virginia

Ray, who is engaged in the practice of medicine at Philadelphia, and is a

graduate of the Women's Medical College of that city, after which she

practiced one year at Tyrone: Victor, who resides at home; and Charles, who

is in the employ of the Motor Transportation Company of Clearfield. Dr.

Fickes is an Independent Republican in his views on public questions.
