The Metzger family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Metzger families were found in the USA in 1880. In 1840 there were 43 Metzger families living in Pennsylvania. This was about 51% of all the recorded Metzger's in the USA. We have two lines of these Pennsylvania Metzgers in our family. Are their ancestors connected? I don’t know. 9Brenda Kenealy Williams and 8 others 1 Comment Like Comments Margie Satterwhite Brown That’s complicated! Like · Reply · 55m

But this photo is not 1860 if it includes a bldg built by Owen Metzger in 1874. (Born in 1853, he was 21 years old when he built it.) Or was the building ghosted in? (oops!

	20191117HAv- Paul Lynn Gardner Admin · November 9 2019 at 7:55 AM FAMILY CONNECTIONS AT THE AMERICAN SILVER TRUSS CO. and CITIZENS SAFE DEPOSIT AND TRUST CO. - COUDERSPORT, PA OWEN GOODMAN METZGER (1853-1938) was a man who followed his father’s entrepreneurial spirit. His father, William Metzger, moved to Potter County abt 1830 and built the old Goodman Mills and then, the Metzger Mills in Pike Mills, later known as Galeton. In abt 1874, after leaving home and getting married, Owen moved to Coudersport and embarked in the lumber trade. In 1881 he partnered with James White and formed the lumberyards in Galeton, called White & Metzger. In 1894 Owen was elected as a Democrat to the PA House of Representatives, In 1905 he was appointed Commissioner of Potter County. In about 1911, he served as president of the American Silver Trust Company in North Coudersport and from 1916 to 1933 was the third president of the Citizens Safe Deposit and Trust Co. in Coudersport. The town of Coudersport benefitted from his generosity, such as the Potter County Hospital and the land on which the Coudersport Area Junior/Senior High School sits was donated by Owen G. Metzger. Two generations later, Owen’s grandsons, eventually filled those two presidents positions. Owen Emil Metzger and his younger brother, Edwin Stanley Metzger, sons of Olive Caroline Mosch and George Stanley Metzger, became presidents of the American Silver Trust Co., and the Citizens Safe Deposit and Trust Co., respectively. OWEN EMIL METZGER (1910-1981) was made president of the American Silver Trust Co. after his grandfather, retired in 1933. Owen G. had to encourage his grandson to take over for him, even though Owen E. was reluctant to give up his successful landscaping business. (As a side note relating to his landscape business: Owen E. was fond of his uncle Walter F Mosch, who also had a major landscaping business in the New York, NY area. This makes me wonder if Walter had a horticultural influence on Owen.) EDWIN STANLEY “STUB” METZGER (1927-1989) was president of the Citizens Safe Deposit and Trust Co. from 1972-1984, 56 years after his grandfather was made president. A graduate of Bryant and Stratton Institute, Stub began in 1950 as a teller, became assistant treasurer and assistant trust officer in 1957, was named treasurer in 1963 and named to the board of directors in 1965. In 1972 he was elected president and chairman of the board. He served as director to the bank until his death. Also, another employee at the American Silver Truss was ARTHUR HERBERT SALLADE (1907-1983) married to Mildred Hertha Mosch (1913-2001).

His father William Hayes Metzger came to Potter County with his father Francis Larue Metzger. This is from the Victor Beebe book, "The History of Potter County" - “The following reminiscences were given to me by Mr. Owen G. Metzger, of the Citizens Safe Deposit and Trust Company. Mr. Metzger's grandfather, Frank L. Metzger, came from Lewisburg, Pa., and settled in what is now the west end of Galeton boro about 1830, where he built a mill on the main branch of Pine Creek. Many rafts of pine lumber were run down Pine, Creek at this time. About 1840, Mr. Metzger's father, William Metzger, then a young man of 24, went to work in a saw mill owned by Owen Goodman, at the site of the old village of Pike Mills, at the mouth of Johnson Brook, about two miles down the stream from what is now Galeton. Mr. Metzger is not sure who built this mill, but it seems quite likely that it was the same that was built by David Kilbourne in 1824, formerly mentioned. About 1844, William Metzger went into the lumbering business on his own account, and bought a steam sawmill that had recently been built in Hebron township, near to where William Hemphill now resides. The pine on the South Branch of the Oswayo was then mostly uncut, and the only road down the South Branch was the one leading past Mr. Metzger's mill, the roads leading from Greenman Hill directly towards Hebron Center not having been opened at that time. At first Mr. Metzger hauled his lumber to Pine Creek and rafted it down stream. Later, after the opening of the canal from Cuba to Olean and Weston's Mills, he shipped his lumber via this route. The post- office at Pike Mills was removed to the present site of Galeton several years before the building of Gale's tannery. William Metzger afterwards moved to Coudersport, where he built a sawmill on the site of the old tannery on North East Street, where the A. F. Smith residence now stands. Here in 1880 Owen G. Metzger launched a successful business career by cutting 500,000 feet of hemlock lumber for Frank Hammond, who was just then building the tannery at the west end of Coudersport now owned by the Elk Tanning Company. Mr. Hammond was so much pleased with the promptness and efficiency with which Mr. Metzger delivered the first of the order that he furnished the logs for the balance of it from timber he then owned on the hill east of Mr. Metzger's mill, which he had bought chiefly for the bark. From this beginning, Mr. Metzger rose steadily to the position in business and finance that he now holds.” Like · Reply · 1w · Edited

FAMILY CONNECTIONS AT THE AMERICAN SILVER TRUSS CO. and CITIZENS SAFE DEPOSIT AND TRUST CO. - COUDERSPORT, PA

OWEN GOODMAN METZGER (1853-1938) was a man who followed his father’s entrepreneurial spirit. His father, William Metzger, moved to Potter County abt 1830 and built the old Goodman Mills and then, the Metzger Mills in Pike Mills, later known as Galeton. In abt 1874, after leaving home and getting married, Owen moved to Coudersport and embarked in the lumber trade. In 1881 he partnered with James White and formed the lumberyards in Galeton, called White & Metzger. In 1894 Owen was elected as a Democrat to the PA House of Representatives, In 1905 he was appointed Commissioner of Potter County. In about 1911, he served as president of the American Silver Trust Company in North Coudersport and from 1916 to 1933 was the third president of the Citizens Safe Deposit and Trust Co. in Coudersport. The town of Coudersport benefitted from his generosity, such as the Potter County Hospital and the land on which the Coudersport Area Junior/Senior High School sits was donated by Owen G. Metzger.

Two generations later, Owen’s grandsons, eventually filled those two presidents positions. Owen Emil Metzger and his younger brother, Edwin Stanley Metzger, sons of Olive Caroline Mosch and George Stanley Metzger, became presidents of the American Silver Trust Co., and the Citizens Safe Deposit and Trust Co., respectively.

OWEN EMIL METZGER (1910-1981) was made president of the American Silver Trust Co. after his grandfather, retired in 1933. Owen G. had to encourage his grandson to take over for him, even though Owen E. was reluctant to give up his successful landscaping business. (As a side note relating to his landscape business: Owen E. was fond of his uncle Walter F Mosch, who also had a major landscaping business in the New York, NY area. This makes me wonder if Walter had a horticultural influence on Owen.)

EDWIN STANLEY “STUB” METZGER (1927-1989) was president of the Citizens Safe Deposit and Trust Co. from 1972-1984, 56 years after his grandfather was made president. A graduate of Bryant and Stratton Institute, Stub began in 1950 as a teller, became assistant treasurer and assistant trust officer in 1957, was named treasurer in 1963 and named to the board of directors in 1965. In 1972 he was elected president and chairman of the board. He served as director to the bank until his death.

Also, another employee at the American Silver Truss was ARTHUR HERBERT SALLADE (1907-1983) married to Mildred Hertha Mosch (1913-2001). Mildred is the daughter of Emil Christian Mosch and Myrtle Edith Landon.

First cousins, Mildred Sallade, Owen and Edwin Metzger, are the grandchildren of Emil Ernest Mosch and Wilhelmina Hedwig Kortz, great grandchildren of Karl Herman Mosch and Caroline Scheider, Jacob Kortz and Katherine Pflugfelder.

METZGER-METZGER CONNECTION IN OUR FAMILY
South German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): occupational name for a butcher, Middle High German metziger, metzjer, German Metzger (probably a loan word from Latin, but of uncertain lineage).
The Metzger family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Metzger families were found in the USA in 1880. In 1840 there were 43 Metzger families living in Pennsylvania. This was about 51% of all the recorded Metzger's in the USA.
We have two lines of these Pennsylvania Metzgers in our family. Are their ancestors connected? I don’t know.

Owen Goodman Metzger was the son of William Hayes Metzger and Pamilla Coolidge (English descent) and William was the son of Francis “Frank” Larue Metzger and Margaret Cook, Francis was the son of Daniel Metzger, son of John Metzger and Anna Marie Larue. I think John’s parents were from Germany. There’s been a lot of nonGerman intermarriage

Larry Herbstritt I think John Metzger himself was from Germany. I never could find the ship he came on.....I assume it landed in Philadelphia.

Fascinating! But this photo is not 1860 if it includes a bldg built by Owen Metzger in 1874. (Born in 1853, he was 21 years old when he built it.) Or was the building ghosted in? (oops! That ghostly house must be Ross' Land Office (Bingham Land Office?). Metzger's a little further back, 2 story) Having a little trouble with the caption, but it's an awesome picture.

Reference to the Shear Tannery, "Way Back When', Potter County Journal, 01 Jan 1933: "... One other old time place, the old tannery on Woodlawn avenue. William Shear ran it 60 years ago; Gay Cornelius, Chris Zimmerman and John Calkins were some of the employees."

WHY HE IS SO PROUD
Dont you know why E. G. Stocking looks so gay ?
It is not the dawn of prohibition, Oh, no!
But it is that telegram which announced the arrival of a fine boy at the home of Mr. and . Mrs. Walter Stocking in West Virginia.
He is a grand dad that's why.

HERE FROM AUSTIN
Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Whittaker and Miss Bertha Wold drove over from Austin yesterday. Miss Wold came to secure her naturalization papers before starting for Mexico, where she is to serve with the Union army of America as a nurse. She certainly has a wonderful record in the late war. Her parents were from Norway.

HERE FROM ROCHESTER
Hon. and Mrs. O. G. Metzger have been entertaining during the past week their son-in-law and daughter, Mr and Mrs E. F. Effinger, and their charming daughter, Miss Phyllis. It seems but a little time ago when Phyllis left here a little girl and now she comes back to her old friends a real young lady of seventeen.

BOUGHT BIG WEEKLY
M. T. Stokes of the ENTERPRISE, has closed a deal for the purchase of the Dodgeville, Wis., Chronicle, a county seat newspaper with 4200 circulation and one of the most successful weeklies in the country. Mr. Stokes has secured an editor and manager for his new property and he will continue to give all his time and attention to his old and best love - the Potter Enterprise.

HERE FOR SUNDAY
Mr. and Mrs. James Scott and family, of Hallsport, N. Y., drove over to their old home Sunday and had dinner at the home of James Madison. They are all well and happy and while they are prosperous they like to get back to the old home town once in a while. Coudersport never had a better citizen than James Scott. He last heard from his brother, Albert, who is enroute here from the State of Washington by auto with his family, at Yellowstone Park, about two weeks ago. They are expected to arrive in this section very soon.

BIG FORCE AT WORK.
Will Phelps has a good sized force of men at work on the old VanBuren corner and it is his intention to have a commodious and first class garage in working shape in the quickest time that is possible to get it constructed and equipped. Will says he is going to have all the necesary machinery to give Coudersport just as up-to- date a garage as they have in any of the larger cities. He nas a good share of the material already on hand and is right on the job makine things go himself.

SOME FINE HOLSTEINS
W.W. Blauvelt, a progressive farmer of Summit, has a fine start with Holstein thoroughbreds. He recently purchased from the Broadhurst Holstein Farm at Morrisville, NY, a heifer whose dam has a twenty-seven pound record and whose sire's mother has a thirty-one pound record. Walter has a start of four thoroughbreds and he's the kind that will grow.
