One local family


Christine Schuyler of Hatfield has been kind enough to share a family photo with us today.

And here is the great information she has provided:

“Here is a photo, circa 1914, of the Arthur and Elizabeth Schuyler family of Edison.

“Arthur and Lizzie are my husband’s great-grandparents. They married in 1885 at the New Britain Baptist Church and had seven children.

“A son, Percy, died in 1905. Arthur farmed and also served on the Doylestown Township School Board and Lizzie raised guinea pigs.

“Pictured from top left is my husband’s grandfather, Chester Schuyler Sr., and two of his brothers, Howard and Russ.

“All three served in the Army during World War I, Russ losing a leg.

“A plaque in the Salem UCC Church in Doylestown commemorates the brothers’ military service.

“Chester later worked as a clerk in Philadelphia. Howard went on to run a haberdashery store in Doylestown. Clifford (seated at right) owned the Doylestown Laundry. Arthur Lloyd, the youngest child, worked for the Borough of Doylestown.

“The only daughter, Grace, was nicknamed ‘Jimmy’ by her father, who had interesting nicknames for each of his children.

“In 1925, Grace married Wilson S. Cassel, who worked in the automobile business. The newlyweds lived at 900 Derstine Ave., Lansdale, and later moved to Mayfair.

“The family home pictured in the background still stands in Edison.

“Many of Arthur and Lizzie’s descendants still reside in the Bucks-Mont area.”

With summer being a great time for family reunions, perhaps some other area readers may come across ancestral photos they want to share with us.
