BUSINESS PLACES – Page 616

Charles Bishop, Sr., kept the first store in the village.  It was located on the 
site of George Machlin’s house, and was burned.  Stores were kept, after this 
one, by Mrs. Jacobs, Joseph Kraft, John Drayer (for many years), George Beck and 
by others whose names cannot be recalled.

In 1885 J. M. Glatfelter, S. A. Bear & Bro., Jacob Rudy, are merchants; Duhling 
& Brown, butchers; F. J. Lory, tin and stove store; C. Kauffman & Co., cigars; 
E. A. Shriver and J. B. Rentzel, cigar manufacturers – each employ a number of 
workmen; D. S. Quickel, dentist; H. S. Bear and M. L. Duhling, justices of the 
peace; Messrs. Frank Yinger, P. M. Altland, John S. Yinger and others are 
identified with the business interests of this beautiful town.  The old “Reeser 
mansion” has been turned into a hotel.  Many years ago it was a hotel with a 
large sign on which was a picture of LaFayette.  This French patriot passed 
through Liverpool in January, 1825, on his way to Harrisburg.

Mrs. Elizabeth Quickel Kuehn, aged ninety-six, lives near Manchester.
