PAUL APPLEBACH deceased.  The Applebachs were originally 
natives of Wurtemberg, Germany, and were extensively engaged 
there in the manufacture of iron.  Near the close of the 
revolutionary war Henry Applebach with two cousins came to 
American and located in Bucks county.  Henry was a 
blacksmith and lived in Springfield township.  Six children 
were born to him, three sons and three daughters.  Daniel 
was the youngest and was for many years justice of the peace 
in his township.  He married Catherine, daughter of Paul 
Apple and sister of the late Judge Apple.  They had seven 
children.   Paul was the oldest son and was born in 1816 and 
died in 1872.  He was major-general of the militia and was 
an active, progressive citizen, wielding large influence in 
the upper districts of his county.  He was an able 
politician and was a candidate for the house of 
representatives and the senate, but on account of the strong 
democratic majority against him was defeated.  He had one 
son, Harry, who was born in 1866.  For a period of 
two-and-a-half years the latter has been a student in the 
Keystone Normal school, and for the past three years has 
been engaged in teaching, principally during the winter 
months, and is preparing to read medicine.
