| 1112 | Obituary 1924-" Another shock was administered this community this morning when the announcement was made that Henry C. Melber, the oldest undertaker in the county, and prominent business man had died at 3:30am after a very brief illness at his home at 424 Centre Street, aged 66 years, 9 months and 6 days. Death resulted from complications. He went to bed only two days before his death. He was a man of remarkable physique and vigorous health and was always at his post of duty, so that the announcement of his death was a surprise and a shock. Since the death of his son Fred, a year ago, Mr. Melber has not been his real self, the death having a very depressing effect upon him. He was born at the Weighlock , near the old Lehigh Valley Railroad station, and on April 7, 1874 he began learning the undertaking business under the late Leonard Yeager and after acquiring the trade he engaged in business. Later he purchased the furniture store of the late Fred C. Miller. A sad feature in the connection with his death was the fact that his friends were arranging to celebrate the golden jubilee of his entrance into business on April 7 next , but the cruel hand of fate prevented the consummation of the happy event . His son Edward will succeed him and continue the business. Mr Melber was an upright citizen of high principle, fair in all his transactions, for which he earned the universal respect and confidence of the public. He was a good citizen in all that the word implies: an exemplary husband and father, a charitable citizen and a man interested in the welfare of the community. He was of a cheerful disposition and spread good cheer in his presence. By his death the community loses one of its most successful and prominent business men, whose life and achievements were examples to be emulated. He was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and Diligent Fire Company. Besides his widow the following children survive: Mrs. Anna Stermer, Allentown; Mrs. Mame Hummel, Harry and Edward Melber of town; also these sisters and brothers: Mrs Pierce Daffner, of town; Mrs. Louis Nesley, Buffalo, NY; Fred Melber, Allentown; 11 grand and 3 great grand children. Funeral Sunday at 2pm at the house, Rev. W. M. Rehrig officiating . Interment in Mauch Chunck cemetery. | Melber, Henry [Heinrich Conrad] (I57)

| 1144 | On the Drake family website they are giving his wife's name as Jane Powis ? From Vinton, John Adams, A Genealogy of the Descendants of John Vinton of Lynn: THOMAS HOLBROOKE1-for such was the primitive spelling-came from England with his family, and settled in the northern part of Weymouth, on the tide-water, a locality which has long borne the name of " Old Spain." His name is first found in 1640, immediately after the earliest preserved records begin. But he could not then be a new comer. There is reason to think that he was one of the company who arrived in 1624, with Mr. Barnard as their minister, from Weymouth in Dorsetshire; and gave this name to the place previously known as Wessagusset . These colonists "were," says Prince, "another sort of people than the former;" by the former, he means Weston's people who were there before them. They probably had a church embodied before they came, as the records speak of a new organization, Jan. 30, 1638. Mr. Barnard continued to preach in Weymouth about eleven years. That town was incorporated Sept . 2, 1635. Rev. Samuel Newman, educated at Oxford, came to New England m 1639, and settled that year in Weymouth. He, and a majority of his church, removed from Weymouth to Rehoboth in 1643. Among the names of the first proprietors of Rehoboth, we find those of Thomas and John Holbrook; also of Ephraim Hunt . For some reason, now unknown, they did not remove; but forfeited their lots by not taking possession of them, as appears by the following extract from Rehoboth Records: "The 10lh of the ll^mo. 1644, (answering to Jan. 10, 1644-5] at a meeting of the townsmen [selectmen] it was agreed that all those that are underwritten have forfeited their lots for not fencing, or not removing their families, according to a former order made 24"1 8,h mo. [Oct.] 1643; therefore we do enter upon them, for and in behalf of the town, to be disposed of as the town shall think meet." Among the eighteen names which follow, are those of Thomas Holbrook, John Holbrook, and Ephraim Hunt . [Bliss's History of Rehoboth, pp. 29, 30. Thomas Holbrook was a man of some note; as appears from his being chosen "townsman" [nearly equivalent to selectman] in 1641, '45, '46, '51, '52, '54. His will is dated Dec. 31, 1668; proved, April 24, 1677; recorded, Suff. Prob., 6:201. He calls himself " of Weymouth;" mentions his wife Jane, eldest son John, other sons Thomas and William, daughters Anne Rennolds, Elizabeth Hateh, and Jane Drake. Of his grandchildren, John, the eldest, has his sword, Peter his gun, William his musket. Son John is appointed Executor. Rebecca Burrell, Thomas White, and William Chard are witnesses. William Chard was town-elerk of Weymouth many years, and schoolmaster. His name is attached, as witness, to many legal writings. | Holbrook, Thomas (I10123)
