General Notes: Husband - Isaac App


He was one of the leading agriculturists of Snyder County, Pennsylvania. In politics he was a Democrat until the formation of the Republican party, to which he became a stanch and true adherent the remainder of his life. In religious belief he was a member of the Lutheran church, clinging to the faith of his fathers, conscientiously following the guidance of him who sang "Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott." Public-spirited and progressive, he contributed largely to the founding of the Missionary Institute. Not having a public school in his section of the town-ship, he advocated the building of one, for which purpose he donated a rich, level plot of ground from the center of his farm, a short distance south of his home, along the public road to Selins Grove, and through his practical efforts a public school was secured for the people of his neighborhood. He used his influence to secure competent teachers, thus continuing the efforts in behalf of education begun by his father.
