Incredible as it may seem, I have been here since 2 PM talking with Mrs Sloyer & her sister Mary Ott, who lives in Bethlehem & came to town for a visit with her sister. They both say that the bible of their father, Marcus Rothermel was given by him in his later days to his grandson Frank Dilliard, son of Elmira Mantana, the oldest daughter of Marcus. He lives at Macada Northampton Co Pa abt 3 miles fr Bethlehem north, toward Nazareth. The bible is in German, but the family record is in English. Mrs Sloyer says that on June 4 & 5th, 1862 there was a great freshet at their old home near or at Lobaughville this Co & her father, mother, her sister Elmira M. her brother B. Frank, Laura Ann & the baby Henry Frederick who died shortly after were all up in a cherry tree V10 Page 569 from 10 or 11 o'clock the night of the 4th until 11 AM the 5th. They say that Esther, the sister of her father Marcus married a Dewalt & her son John is still living up about where she died & they think it is Uniontown up north about Union, Lycoming or Northumberland Co. Mrs Ott says she has the address of her brother Silas' widow at home & will get it for me. It is, she says Garfield ST Germantown Pa. One of the Dewalts, a son of Esther lived in Reading Pa his name Augustus. He is dead but might have children there. Hiram also dead was a son. Mrs Sloyer produces a letter dated Apr 18, 1923 from Mary S. Daniel (see page 539) & she says her father always said that Mary Daniel's father Reuben was a first cousin of Marcus (himself) & that Reuben's mother, Betty, was his Aunt. Note Elizabeth the 9th & youngest child of Jacob see his will 1833 when she was 21 & not yet married & this is the party that Marcus said was his Aunt. Mrs Sloyer says that the father of Prof A.C. Rothermel of Kutztown Pa was a cousin (she now says 1st or 2d of her father) Mrs Sloyer says she never knew any of the brothers & sisters families of her father, but the Heffners, Nolls & Dewalts, never even met any of them, so I can't get the full lines from her that I expected. Of the families of her brothers & sisters they say as follows: V10 Page 570 1. Silas A. had 3 children. His widow Mollie Rothermel is 77 E. Garfield St Germantown Phil 2. Elmina Mantana [Elmira Montana?] mar Geo Dilliard & had 2 boys & a girl. Says she gave me that record. When 7 yrs old she went to live with a family named Mrs Geo Herman who adopted her. 3.

He said her mother had some Markle relatives in Phila but they are not of our line. We then went over to the next 2d St & were: At residence of Ed Warner, 2d St Weatherly Pa Nov 10, 1923 11:30 AM His daughter admitted us & called her father & he called in a Mr Hum. They knew of no Markles about there but said Joel Markle lived 9 miles out in the Quakake Valley so I concluded to get an auto & go out. Left 11:38 AM We walked down & across Black Creek at the Upper bridge above the depot to garage of C.L. Nuss where we found L.C. Nuss a black eyed virile man & when I asked him what the big brick bldg on the hill at the head of the street that runs up from the upper bridge was, he said it was the public school bldg presented to the town by Mrs C.M. Schwab who was raised here, the sister of A.D. Dinkey of the U.s. Steel Corp. both of whom with their brother & mother lived V10 Page 592 in a house on the lot I had walked across two hours before to see Mrs Tracer Presser. He thought their mother must have been a widow as he never remembered their having any father here. Their mother opened a small store on 2d St which she ran for some years. The school building is a fine big one. I bid Mr Nuss goodbye at 11:55 AM on the arrival of Will Doney in a closed auto & hired him to take me out to Joel Markle's. We started at 12 noon & arrived there 12:45 AM only to find he had gone to McAdoo on the milk wagon with Victor Lint? a neighbor. We then drove on 4 miles further to McAdoo but looked over the town without finding him & came back & Victor's wife sd he had gone also to Hazleton but she expected him back any minute so he came right away & Mr Markle got out of his truck & unlocking his little shack we were at: The home of Joel Markle near Stewarts Water Plug Rush Tp Schuylkill Co Pa Nov 10, 1923 2:25 PM Mr Markle is a medium tall, slender man with a moustache no whiskers & is active & virile for 79 yrs. He lives in about the most unpretentious V10 Page 593 shack & worse excuse of a house I have seen, but he has a small egg stove in it & it was comfortable. He has a lounge for a bed, with everything in a jumble in approved bachelor style. I asked him how much he owned & he said he didn't own anything that it was built on two farms & the Tp road & is about 15 ft square. He explained that the line between the two farms run by the stove & he told them that it would take but little off of each & they agreed to let him build on it & occupy it as long as he lived. He said he was born in the 2d house down the road toward McAdoo in his father's old home, where he had settled when it was all forest about there & built his home & Joel remembered when it was woodland between the house & the barn, in this Rush Tp on Nov 16, 1844, the son of Jonas Markle & his wife Juliann Stewart. He produced a sheet giving his name & theirs as his parents but it was in German. [margin note reads:] Joel Markle died in Jany or Feby 1926. See book 16 P 570. He said his father died when he, Joel, was about 50 to 55 yrs old & was 77 yrs old & is buried in Quakake Cem, but does not have a tombstone. Says his mother died around 2 yrs later but he does not recall how old she was. He says V10 Page 594 his sister Hannah Maria Markle bought a bible & wrote everything in it of when her father & mother were born & died etc. She was not married but had a son to Jim Swartz named Edward Oliver Swartz, who got the bible from his mother after her death. See Book 16 P 615 JVT She lived with her father & mother when they both died just across the road from here in the frame house he built & then owned, where a "Hunkie" named Valatine Czerilsky (Cherilsky) now lives with a wife & several children.

His Uncle Gideon went west He thinks to the state of Indiana but don't know what town or Co. He says his father Jonas always said that he himself was born in Berks Co Pa. Joel's P.O. address is Route 2 Tamaqua Pa. Mrs Moser, eldest daughter of his brother Daniel lives at Quakake Junct where she ha a little patch. Her husband is an engineer & she is abt equidistant from McAdoo & here. Her P.O. wd be Quakake Pa. He says he never saw his grandfather Markle & don't know whether he died in Berks Co or not. He thinks his father, Jonas Markle came here about the time he got V10 Page 596 married. Thinks the children were all born here with the possible exception of Benneville, but all the others were born in Rush Tp. His father sold the farm & kept a half acre across the road & built the house, now standing there & he & his wife both died there. Dan lived in the next house below where he had 33 acres & built all of the buildings there. He says a Jim Long who had a store lived at St Nicholas Pa near Mahanoy City whose wife was a Markle from Berks Co Pa. He was older than Joel. Thinks he was 45 to 50 yrs old thirty odd yrs ago. Don't know where he went. He says there are Markles at Lewistown Pa.
