   PHILIP THIEROLF farmer, P.O. Fountainville, was born in 
Hassen, Germany, and came to America in 1851. His parents 
were Adam and Sophia (Hiedt) Thierolf.  Philip was the third 
of a family of five children.  For two years after coming to 
his country he was engaged in farming.  In 1853 he married 
Mary Barndt, daughter of George and Sarah (Sorver) Barndt of 
Bucks county.  The result of this marriage is six children:  
John, William, Edwin, Sarah (Mrs. Crouthamel), Lizzie and 
Emma.  The last two named are deceased.  Mr. Thierolf came 
to his present farm in 1869, and with the aid of his two 
sons carries on the work successfully. His son William 
married Lettie Wagner, and has one son, Philip.  Edwin 
married Alice Bissey.  Mr. Thierolf has always been a 
successful man in business, and is respected by his 
neighbors.  He is a member of the Lutheran church, and a 
democrat.
