In 1810, when William was but eight years of age, his uncle removed from New Jersey to what is now Limestone Township, Montour Co., Penn., and with him William lived, assisting on the farm until he had reached the age of eighteen years, when he went to learn the trade of stone-mason and plasterer, in the same neighborhood. While living there he was married to Miss Anna TITUS, and in 1836 they removed to Mount Pleasant Township, this county, where he bought 150 acres in the same neighborhood as the present farm of his son, Elias. He then devoted almost his entire attention to farming, doing only his own mason work, following agricultural pursuits until about ten years before his death, when he lived a retired life. Mr. and Mrs. William HOWELL were the parents of eight children, six now living: Mary Ellen, wife of William HOWER, in Luzerne County, Penn.; William, in East Nanticoke, Penn.; Edith Ann, wife of William BOWMAN, in Carthage County, Mo.; Robert C., in Mount Pleasant township, this county, John V., in Bloomsburg, Penn., and Elias.

Elias HOWELL, subject of this sketch, was ten or eleven years of age when the family removed from Montour County to what is now Mount Pleasant Township, this county. In the spring of 1843 he went to Bloomsburg to learn the blacksmith trade with William SLOAN, and worked with him two years; then went to Montour County, where he resided two years; then returned to this county, and for some seven or eight years worked by the day for different farmers; then went into the mines in Bloom Township, this county, and was there engaged thirteen years at contract work. He then bought eighty-four acres of land in Mount Pleasant Township, this county, and commenced farming; also leased a limestone ridge near by, put up a kiln, and for six years was engaged at that business as well as farming. After that time he gave his entire attention to farming until the spring of 1881, since which time he has lived a retired life, renting his farm. He was married in this county in November, 1846, to Miss Emeline ANDREWS, a native of Columbia County.

THOMAS P. McBRIDE, Bloomsburg, steward of the Bloom Poor District, composed of townships of Bloom, Scott, Greenwood and Sugarloaf, was born in Berwick, this county, January 17, 1819, son of John and Edith (GOSSNER) McBRIDE. Nathaniel McBRIDE, grandfather of Thomas P., came to this county in the early days, and located in Hemlock Township, where he bought and cleared up land. John McBRIDE, father of our subject, was born in this county and reared here to farm life. He afterward abandoned farming and gave his attention to the mason's trade, following that occupation principally at Bloomsburg. He was also engaged on the work of the Catawissa Railroad. He was married in Berwick to Edith GOSSNER, and they were the parents of thirteen children, of whom six are living: Thomas P.; Maria, widow of John BANGHART (she lives in Lime Ridge, this county); Alexander, in Hughsville, Penn.; Elizabeth, wife of Solomon SMITH (they live near Three Rivers, Mich.); Mary, widow of Henry CRUM (she lives in Bloomsburg, this county), and Franklin P., also in Bloomsburg. The father of this family died in 1858, the mother in 1844, and both are buried in the Lutheran cemetery at Bloomsburg. Thomas P. McBRIDE, subject of this sketch, was reared in this county, where he has always made his home. When he was nine years of age he went to work on the farm of Isaac COON, where he was employed three years. He then began boating on the canal between Bloomsburg and Philadelphia, and for three years followed that occupation. He then commenced to learn the tailor trade with B. RUPERT of Bloomsburg, with whom he was employed about eight years. He then bought a canal boat and engaged for himself in the coal carrying trade between Bloomsburg and Baltimore. He was thus employed about two years when he sold his boat and was engaged the next year in the store of L. B. RUPERT, and for the next boated with William MORRIL. He then went into partnership with Elias MENDENHALL, and was engaged with him in boating for four years. He then removed to the lumber woods in the upper end of this county, where Mr. MENDENHALL had purchased a tract of land and superintended the farming and lumbering at this place for fifteen years. Later he bought fifty acres of land near Rohrsburg to which he moved, and farmed it three years. March 28, 1876, he was appointed steward of the Bloom Poor District. He did not find the farm in very good condition when he took charge, but he has brought the place up to a high standard by constant improvements, and now it is a credit to the county. Since he has taken charge there have been four boards of overseers, and as Mr. McBRIDE has retained his position all this time, it is ample evidence that his administration has been satisfactory. He was married in this county September 8, 1858, to Miss Amanda ROBBINS, a native of this county, daughter of Margaret ROBBINS, deceased. Mr. and Mrs. McBRIDE are the parents of four children, of whom two are living: Urbanus, married to Prebella McHENRY, in Light Street, this county, and Margaret, wife of Jacob HIRLEMAN, in Bloomsburg, this county. John and Mary are deceased. Mr. McBRIDE is a Democrat politically.(History of Columbia and Montour Counties Pennsylvania, Battle, 1887, pg. 517)

William MASON, father of Charles H., was born and reared at Ashford, Conn., and on arriving at a suitable age, went to Hartford, where he learned the art of wood-engraving, and in 1810 removed to Philadelphia where he followed it, being the first in that line in the Quaker City. He followed this art a number of years and then commenced the manufacture of philosophical instruments, such as air-pumps, electrical machines, etc., including a telescope for himself. He conducted that business until seventeen years before his death, when he gave his attention to art, instructing in drawing and designing, and this he followed until his death. Among his designs was an ideal one, which he called the "inventor's head;" it is in the shape of a human head, formed entirely of mechanical appliances, and so constructed as to be a good likeness; although very minute in its detail, it was drawn with a lead pencil and shaded with India ink. Charles H. MASON has a photograph of the drawing in his possession. Among others who studied designing, etc., under William MASON were Thomas U. WALTERS, the designer of Girard College, and John TROUTWINE, a noted civil engineer. Mr. MASON was married in Philadelphia to Parthenia WETHERILL, a native of Salem, N. J., born January 3, 1793. They were the parents of seven children, of whom six are living: Samuel Rufus, in Dodge County, Neb.; Charles H. and Margaret Ann, wife of William H. STRICKLAND, in Reading, Penn. (twins); Mary Delia, wife of Samuel C. HAYS, in the stationery business in Philadelphia; Amanda Jane, widow of John DAINTY (she lives at Beverly, N. J.); Catherine Wetherill, widow of Nathan Stern BEEKLEY (she lives in Philadelphia); William MORRISON (twin to Mrs. BEEKLEY) is deceased. Mr. and Mrs. William MASON, parents of the above, are buried at Philadelphia. Charles H. MASON, subject of this sketch, was reared in Philadelphia and there educated. At the age of seventeen he went into the country in Bucks County, where he served an apprenticeship of five years on a farm. In 1836 he went to Monroeton, Bradford Co., Penn., and there worked at different employments, farming, rafting on the river, lumbering and teaching school, and in 1842 went to Hill's Grove, Lycoming Co., Penn., where he resided until 1846, moving thence to Shrewsbury, same county, where he lived until 1849. In that year he came to Mount Pleasant Township, and operated a saw-mill on Fishing creek for one year. From that time until 1852 he worked by the day. At the latter date he began to learn the carpenter and millwright trades, and on completing his instruction went into the millwrighting business as journeyman with Marshall G KINLEY of Bloomsburg, this county, and for seven years worked with him most of the time. After that he worked at carpenter work until 1880, when his wrist being broken, he abandoned that work and since then has done little else than attend to the farming of his lot. He married June 16, 1841. Miss Mary TINGLEY, a native of Hughsville, Lycoming Co., Penn., born March 30, 1821. She died March 8, 1876, and is buried in the Lutheran cemetery at Canby.

Joseph E. SANDS (deceased)was born July 18, 1811 in Mifflin Twp, Columbia Co., Penn. His ancestors came from England, the pioneer of the name being John SANDS, who was obliged to leave his native country on account of religious persecution. He settled in Berks County, Penn., and from him are descended all of the name in this county. The father of our subject was John, son of Daniel, who was a son of the pioneer John. Joseph E. when a lad was brought by his parents to Briarcreek Township, Columbia County, and during his minority worked for Andrew HUNLOCK, who carried on a woolen mill. While in his employ, he learned the business thoroughly, and in 1835 came to Greenwood Township. That year he married Esther LUNDY, and 3 years later came to what is now Mordansville, and built a woolen mill, which is now operated by his son, C.L. He carried on that business up to the time of his death, which occurred Feb.24, 1881, of apoplexy, at Philadelphia. He had visited the above city with his son Charles to buy goods, and while there died very suddenly, while making his purchases. He was buried with Masonic honors, of which fraternity he was an honored member, and his remains now repose in Orange Township, in the McHenry Cemetery. In speaking of Mr. SANDS, he can well be called a representative man in Columbia County. In politics, he was a Republican though not a partisan. He was appointed the first postmaster at this place, and in 1875 was elected county commissioner, and served with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. He was generous and liberal, and his hand was ever ready to contribute to the wants of the needy. He was a successful business man, and was always in the front when the general interests of the people were at stake. He reared a family of seven sons and one daughter all of whom married. Three of the sons served their country in the civil war, and Mr. SANDS, himself, went out with the militia when the Southern forces invaded the State in 1863.

SANDS, father of Charles L., the second in order of age of these children, was born in Mifflin Township, while his father was the miller at Brown's Mills. He made his home with his parents until he reached the age of 18 years, and then went to work to learn his trade in the woolen mill of Andrew HUNLOCK, Briarcreek Township, this county. He learned the trade there, and when he had obtained a thorough knowledge of the business he erected a woolen mill of his own one mile north of Rohrsburg, on Green Creek. He worked that mill until 1856, but as the woods around became cleared up the creek began to fail, and finally he found it impossible to run the mill with the water of that stream. In 1856 he erected a mill on the banks of Little Fishing Creek, in Mount Pleasant Twp, which forms the nucleus of the present Mordansville woolen mills. He operated this mill until about one week before his death, when he sold it to Charles L. SANDS. He was married in this county to Miss Esther LUNDY, a native of this county, and daughter of Henry LUNDY, and they were the parents of 10 children, 7 now living: Henry H., in Hemlock Twp, this county; William E., in Mount Pleasant Township, Thomas E., also in Hemlock Township; Anna MARGARET, wife of W.W.

Mr. SANDS had held the office of commissioner of Columbia CO. from 1876 to 1879. He was the first postmaster of Mordansville, which position he held unit his election as commissioner. He was a well known man in Columbia County, and commanded the respect of even those who differed from him in his views. Of his children, 3 were in the service of the Union during the war. Henry H. was twice a volunteer, at first in Company E, One Hundred and Thirty-second Pennsylvania Volunteers, and while in the regiment participated among others at the battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. The second time he enlisted was in 1864, in Company D, Two Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania Infantry, and was in the battles of Hatcher's Run, Gravelly Run, Five Points, and the regiment participated in the movements about Petersburg which resulted in the fall of that stronghold and Richmond, and the surrender of Lee; also participated in the grand reunion of the victorious armies of the Union at the national capital at the close of the war. William E. was in the One Hundred and Third Pennsylvania Infantry. He served with his regiment from February, 1865, until the close of the war. Thomas E. was in the independent cavalry, and was engaged principally in the civil service department. Charles L. SANDS, subject of this sketch, was reared in this county, and made his home with his parents until he was eighteen years of age, and then went to work at the carpenter's trade with Abraham Dildine, of Orange Township, this county, with whom he was engaged one year. He then returned to his father's home and lived there until 1871, when he began dealing in horses to some extent, and obtained the contract for building the stone work of the Wilson bridge across Little Fishing creek, which he constructed. He then rented a farm in Mount Pleasant Township, this county, which he carried on until 1875, when he removed to Millville and commenced in the livery business, and established the first stage line from Millville to Bloomsburg. It was thought at that time that this stage line would not pay, but he made the business remunerative, and it is so to this date. He closed out this business in the spring of 1880, selling out to Humphrey PARKER, and then came to Mordansville and helped his father operate the mill until the following spring, when he bought the mill. He then added new machinery and in the spring of 1886 enlarged the mill by the erection of an addition. He carried on the business alone until 1883, when M. J. ELDER obtained an interest in the operation of the mill, and the firm remained SANDS & J. ELDER until the spring of 1886, when William R. HAGENBUCH obtained an interest, and the style of the firm is now C. L. SANDS & CO. The capacity has been incresased, since Mr. SANDS bought the mill, from 6,000 to 25,000 pounds. Mr. SANDS was married in this county May 13, 1871, to Miss Mary ZEIGLER, a native of the county and daughter of Daniel and Catherine ZEIGLER, both deceased and buried in the Canby graveyard, Mount Pleasant Township, this county.
