Rockhill township, Bucks county.  Willoughby and Eliza

Solomon, E. Wayne, and Amanda, deceased.  E. Wayne was born 
in Upper Milford township, Lehigh county, in 1841, and was 
married in 1873 to Miss Elmira M. Dubbs, of Lower Milford, 
daughter of Jacob and Lydia Dubbs.  Two children are the 
result of this marriage:  Herbert D. living and Myron,

engaged in farming, and from that date, till 1877, his 
occupation was that of clerk.  Since 1877 he has been 
identified in the town of Richland as one of the leading 
merchants.  He was in 1885 appointed, under the new 
administration, postmaster in Richlandtown.  Mr. Gabel is a 
member of the Lutheran church.
