From an article in the Middleburgh Post newspaper, 1 Oct 1894:
"Jacob and his wife obtained passports, and after 2 months at sea,arrived in Philadelphia. By that time, they were homeless, penniless, and far from home in thisfrontier land with Indians. They first settled in Lancaster County, Pa. but later decided totravel northward. The couple obtained thousands of acres of landunder the homestead law, then in force. They lived in a tent till a log house could be built. In addition to farming, Jacob Walter erected the first Linseed Mill, for the manufacture of oil, in that section of Pa. Jacob realized that there was a great need to educate the next generation. He and Mr. Hassinger, and Mr. Mauer established a Lutheran church and school. The church was known as Hassinger'schurch. In the early days, an alarm was circulated that the Indians wouldmassacre the whites in this section. All the settlers immediately left for the fort in Northumberland. It was harvest time and Jacob Walter decided to stay on his land and finish his work. He had four grown sons and he had them take turns watching for Indians while the others cut the grain. When the other settlers returned, they threatened him and his sons with death, since the Walters were able to complete the harvest. The others believed that they had conspired with the Indians. It was said that till the end of his life, he was able to say 'I have fought the fight, I have kept the faith, and I have won the crown'!!"
