Bedminster Township


ALBERT H. WEISEL farmer, P.O. Hagersville, is a 
great-grandson of Henry Weisel, one of the early settlers of 
Bedminster township.  He bought the farm where Albert now 
lives, which then comprised 300 acres, now divided into 
several farms.  His son, Joseph, was Albert's grandfather. 
He was born on that place, inherited a part of the tract, 
including the homestead, on which he passed his life, dying 
there in 1873, in his 80th year.  He was twice married, his 
first wife being Mary Fulmer, who died in February, 1828, 
when but 29 years old.  His second wife was the widow of 
Philip Fulmer, whose maiden name was Susanna Rufe.  The 
children were all by the first wife, and were Cornelius who 
is the only survivor, living in Easton, Pa., and Lucy Ann, 
Catharine, and Francis F., deceased.  The latter was the 
father of Albert H.  He was born on the old homestead, which 
he inherited, and on which he passed the greater part of his 
life.  He was born September 19, 1825, and died June 15, 
1879.  He was a good man and an honorable, upright citizen, 
and possessed the respect of every one who knew him.  He was 
a deacon and elder of the Tohickon Reformed church.  He was 
married March 25, 1849, to Sarah Ann, daughter of John 
Harpel, Esq., of this township.  She was born August 4, 
1827, and now lives on the old home.  Her children were:  
Catharine, deceased, who was the wife of Reuben K. Stover, 
who is also deceased; Anna Maria, deceased, who was the wife 
of Milton S. Fulmer, of this township; John A., who is 
married to Mary Ellen Roudenbush and is a farmer in 
Rockhill; and Albert H., the youngest, who lives with his 
mother, for whom he farms the home place, which has been in 
the family for four generations.  Albert H. was born May 19, 
1866.  After learning what he could in the district school 
he completed his education at the Sellersville Normal 
school.  He is unmarried and is a young man of many 
excellent qualities, industrious and steady, and has the 
respect of the people among whom he was reared.  He is a 
member of the Tohickon Reformed church.
