The Houseknecht Family Reunion of 1911

Williamsport Sun
Williamsport, PA
August 29, 1911

Many Teachers in Houseknecht Family

History of Family That Has Played a Prominent Part in the
Affairs of Lycoming County read at Annual Reunion

At the sixth annual reunion of the descendants of Benjamin and Sarah Houseknecht, held at the home of A. W. Fague, near Hughesville, the following interesting history of the family, compiled by the historian, was read by the secretary of the association, William Derr:

The first reunion of the Houseknecht family was held at Ferndale park, Lycoming county, on August 25, 1906. This family now numbers about 163, and represents nearly every honorable occupation of life. Many of the male representatives are farmers, that occupation and teaching being the predominating and favored ones. The profession of teaching has more than thirty on its list, covering a total of more than a hundred years, John, Hiram, Phoebe, Sarah, Martha, Hannah, Elmira, Ellen and Alice being the first to engage in this work. Besides the teachers and farmers, among the direct descendants we find a doctor, two professional nurses, a journalist, six salesmen, implement dealers, a poultry dealer, government employee and scores of students.
Alice Houseknecht, the youngest daughter of Benjamin and Sarah Houseknecht, taught three terms of school-the Derr, Germany and Opp. She was married to Isaac Shipman, November 18, 1869. To them were born four sons and two daughters. One son died in infancy. The other children are Anna, Jacob, Clyde, Mary, and Verus. Jacob Shipman married Mary Oliver, who is a traveling salesman and located in Hughesville. To them have been born four children, Alice, Albert, deceased, Evans, and Margaret, deceased. Anna * married Smith Forrester and to them have been born three children, Harold ** was a teacher of the public schools prior to her marriage.
Clyde (Shipman) married Alta Trick and to them have been born three children, Harold, Edwin and Kathryn being the youngest member of the Houseknecht family. Clyde is engaged in the implement business in Hughesville.
Verus enjoys the distinction of being the youngest grandchild of Benjamin and Sarah Houseknecht. He is a student at Pennsylvania State college.
* Editor's Note: "Anna" is Anna Shipman, daughter of Isaac and Alice (Houseknecht) Shipman.
** Editor's Note: Harold Shipman was the son of Clyde and Alta Shipman, and therefore a grandson of Isaac and Alice (Houseknecht) Shipman. The names of the rest of the children of Anna and Smith Forrester were inadvertently left out in this newspaper article. Many of the membes of the Houseknecht and Shipman families are buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Hughesville, Lycoming County, PA. This community is just south of Sullivan County.

Zion Moselem Lutheran church
In 1741 a warrant was issued to Adam Kuhn, Leonard Bieber, William Killian and Christian Houseknecht for 101 acres. The patent had been received July 31, 1741, for the consideration of fifteen pounds thirteen shillings.

Upon this land a log church was built late the following summer, close to where the sexton's house now stands. It was dedicated by Rev. Johann Valentine Kraft, the Evangelical Lutheran pastor at the church (and probably the first minister), on Thursday, Jan. 20, 1743.

Old descriptions place the meetinghouse “in Philadelphia County, in Andelanen (Ontelaunee area), bounded by lands of Carl Hefelin and Ulrich Scherer.”

Little is known about the building, other than it was a very small log structure noted for being uncomfortably damp. On rainy days it was difficult to keep books and clothing dry due to the poor construction of the roof. After the congregation worshiped here for about six years, Thomas and Richard Penn, proprietaries of the province, gave them 107 acres of land, which included the usual allowance of six acres (out of every 100) for roadways and highways.
