Bedminster Township


JACOB KILMER farmer, P.O. Bedminster, is a grandson of Henry 
Kilmer, who came from Germany and settled in Tinicum 
township, where he died.  His son, Samuel, father of Jacob, 
was born there in 1800, and died in the house where Jacob 
lives in 1851, having removed there after his marriage.  His 
wife was Mary Deaterly, who was born in this township in 
1800, and is now living with her daughter Mary.  Mr. Kilmer 
was a man of deep religious feeling, and was a member and a 
deacon of the Tohickon Reformed church.  His children were:  
John, who died when a young man; Mary, wife of Abraham 
Gearhart, of this township; and Jacob, who was the oldest, 
and was born February 12, 1826.  On the death of his father 
he took the farm which has since been his home.  In 1849 he 
was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Fluck, of this 
township, who died in 1852, leaving two children, one of 
whom died a month afterward.  The survivor is Melinda, wife 
of Wilson Fabian, of Nockamixon township.  In 1853 Mr. 
Kilmer was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Frederick 
Fulmer, of Nockamixon. Their children are:  Reuben F., a 
farmer in Haycock; Elemanda, wife of Clayton Hockman, of 
this township; Samuel F., in Hilltown; Wilson F., in 
Nockamixon; Frederick F., in Sellersville; Jacob F., who 
runs a creamery in this township; William F., who lives with 
his parents; Thomas, who farms the home place; and Mary E., 
living at home.  Mr. Kilmer, his wife, and all of his 
children are members of the Tohickon Reformed church, of 
which he was for seven years a deacon.
