dealer in pianos, organs and sewing machines, Hazleton.
This gentleman was born in Stockton, Pa., May 30, 1859, and
is third in the family of twelve children, of Daniel and
Eva (George) Koenig, natives of Germany. He was

Domestic Company. In January, 1892, he added to his
business by putting in a stock of the famous Kellmer
pianos and organs. Mr. Koenig was united
in marriage, Feb. 2, 1884, with Christiana, daughter
of John Reckroth, of Hazleton, and four
children have been born to this union, namely: George,
Kate, Edith and Harry.

W. M. KOENIG,
farmer, P. O. Pittston, was born in Germany, Oct. 23, 1866,
son of Andrew and Eva S. (Sohns) Koenig. They
are both natives of Germany, where they are now living and
are well-to-do farming people. Their family consists
of seven children, all of whom are living. W. M.
is the first born, and was reared and educated in the land
of his birth, in early life learning the butcher's business.
In 1881 he emigrated to this country, locating in New York
City, where he remained aljout five years. From there
he went to Connecticut, where he spent one year, and, in
1887, he removed to this county, where he has since resided.
Mr. Koenig now lives on one of the oldest
homesteads in the Valley, formerly the Schooley
property, and yet in the hands of a descendant (Mrs.
Carpenter), and devotes his time and farm of twenty
acres to "trucking." He is a promising young man of
more than ordinary intelligence, who looks the world
squarely iu the face and says, "I'll succeed." In
March, 1890, he married Miss Rose, daughter of
Daniel and Caroline Marks; they have one child,
Lizzie Louisa. He and his wife are
consistent members of the Congregational Church, in which he
is a deacon. He now holds the office of policeman in
Exeter borough; politically, he is a Republican.
