Y., and disposed of large areas in May 1786; lived at the south end of Otsego lake until 1790, and then removed his family from Burlington, N. J., to the growing settlement now known as Cooperstown. William was appointed (February 17, 1791) judge of the first court of common pleas for Otsego county; and was Representative from New York in the Congress of the United States for the sessions December 7, 1795-March 3, 1797, and December 2, 1799-March 3, 1801; died at Albany, December 22, 1809, and was buried at Cooperstown, N.

After his first work in 1819, famed as an American writer. author of the "American Democrat," "Naval History of the United States," and many popular works in imaginative literature. Died at Cooperstown, September 14, 1851. His wife died January 20, 1852. 12 Henry Fry, d. infant Judge William Cooper (December 2, 1754 - December 22, 1809) was the founder of Cooperstown, New York and father of writer James Fenimore Cooper, who apparently used his father as the pattern for the Judge Marmaduke Temple character in his book The Pioneers. William Cooper was born in a log house in Smithfield (now Somerton) just outside Philadelphia, the son of British Quaker parents, James and Hannah (Hibbs) Cooper. He appears to have worked as a wheelwright in and around Byberry. There is no record of his attending school. On December 12, 1774, in Burlington, New Jersey, he was married by civil magistrate to Elizabeth Fenimore, daughter of Richard Fenimore, a Quaker of Rancocas, New Jersey. When Mr. Fenimore asked how his daughter was to be supported at William's young age, William answered that he was poor and "she must shift for herself." During the early 1780s Cooper became a storekeeper in Burlington, New Jersey, and by the end of the decade he was a successful land speculator and wealthy frontier developer in what is now Otsego County, New York. He founded Cooperstown, at the foot of Otsego Lake, in 1786 and moved his family there in 1790. After 1791, when Otsego County was split off from Montgomery County, Cooper became county judge and later served two terms in Congress, elected as a Federalist to the Fourth Congress (March 4, 1795-March 3, 1797), again elected to the Sixth Congress (March 4, 1799-March 3, 1801). Cooper family tradition has it that Judge Cooper was killed by a blow to the head sustained during an argument with a political opponent after a public meeting in Albany, New York on December 22, 1809, but it is now believed that he died of natural causes. Cooper's great-great-grandson was the writer, Paul Fenimore Cooper, whose most notable novel was the children's adventure, Tal: His Marvelous Adventures With Noom Zor Noom. This judge's interment was located at Christ Episcopal Churchyard in Cooperstown where his son was buried many years later.

10269	Wedding of Hilda McKenzie to Mathias P. Moller, Jr., took place May 9, 1923, at Garrett Park Methodist Church, Baltimore, Mathias P. Moller, Jr., widely known industrialist, banker and lay church leader, died at 7 o'clock this morning at the Washington County Hospital after a prolonged illness. He was a patient at the hospital two weeks. Mr. Moller was born in Hagerstown May 8, 1902, a son of Mrs. Julia M. Greenlund (not sure of spelling; print is blurred) Moller and the late Mathias Peter Moller, Sr. He resided at 473 North Potomac St. At the time of his death Mr. Moller was president of M. P. Moller, Inc., one of the leading pipe organ manufacturing corporations in the nation. He was also president of the Hagerstown Trust Company, a director of the Potomac Edison Company and of the Remington Book Co., Baltimore. He succeeded his late father as president of M. P. Moller, Inc., and also as president of the Hagerstown Trust Company in 1937. He had been a director of the Hagerstown Trust for a number of years prior to his election as president. Mr. Moller was widely known in church circles as a lay leader. He was a devout member of St. John's Lutheran Church all his life and for many years was a member of the Board of Foreign Missions of the United Lutheran Church of America and also a member of the National Council of Churches of Christ. He was a graduate of Susquehanna University and in 1954 the degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on him by Mullenburg College.

Moller Organ Co. music and memories live on July 14, 2008\|By ANGELICA Roberts Editor's note: The following story about the M.P. Moller Organ Co. is one in an occasional series of stories about some of the treasures of Washington County's past. HAGERSTOWN - The M.P. Moller Organ Co., once one of the largest makers of pipe organs in the world, had a turbulent few years before closing its doors in 1992, but the memories and the beautiful music the company made live on. Company founder, Mathias P. Moller, was born Sept. 29, 1854, in Denmark, and came to America in 1872. Moller worked in Warren, Pa., as a woodworker at a furniture manufacturing firm, and in Erie, Pa., with the Derrick & Felgemaker organ building shop. Moller returned to Warren, where he built a pipe organ in 1875. A year later, he went to Philadelphia, where he manufactured and sold four pipe organs before moving his operation to Greencastle, Pa., in 1877. According to the Allison-Antrim Museum's Web site at www.greencastlemuse um.org, Moller organized and named his early business Moller Brenishottz and Co. "When Moller was unsuccessful at securing financing from the Greencastle banks to expand his business, he moved to Hagerstown in April 1881," the Web site states. In Hagerstown, Moller set up shop in a small building near the Western Maryland Railroad on Potomac Street. He only had eight workers. That building burned in 1895. In an attempt to keep the company in Hagerstown, property on North Prospect Street was deeded to Moller, and the factory reopened in January 1896. According to the book "M.P. Moller and the Urban Fabric of Hagerstown," by 1902, the factory had 50,000 square feet of floor space, offices and sheds. It was on the western side of the factory complex where the actual work of building organs took place and where raw materials arrived by rail. "The western and eastern sides of the building had utilitarian brickwork, the western side displayed Moller's name, and the side of the building dealt with work, labor and production," according to the book. The organ factory imported wood materials, metals and animal products from around the world. Lumber was the most important raw material for making an organ, and 2 million board feet of lumber always were on site. Unique Skills Over the years, the organ-maker's space expanded to 125,000 square feet, according to a 1962 story in The Herald-Mail, and it was here that skilled craftsmen plied their trades. There were voicers, whose job it was to make sure each pipe had the correct tone, color, transparency and timbre. There were people who carved parts by hand, and Moller cast its own metal alloys to ensure the proper combinations, according to the 1962 newspaper story. There were fathers who passed on to their sons the skills involved in crafting the custom-made organs, thus making sure the Moller tradition would continue, according to the story. William Penner, 91, of Hagerstown, worked for the company for 50 years, some of those years while Moller was president, and said in a recent interview that he would describe Moller as a kind and gentle, yet strict boss. "He required everyone to produce a full day's work all the time," Penner said. Frederick Morrison, who worked for the company from 1967 to 1992, said Moller organs were some of the best ever made. "In the company's lifetime, they've built more organs than anybody else," Morrison, 60, of Shepherdstown, W.Va., said in a recent interview. "They were considered to be reliable, and I think there are some Moller organs out there now that have gone on for 60 to 70 years. They're very durable." And Moller organs were in demand. Moller organs could be found at West Point, the U.S. Naval and Air Force academies, the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., and Lincoln Center in New York. Even the chapel at Camp David had a Moller organ, which was dedicated in April 1991 with President George H.W. Bush present. A number of Moller organs were installed locally, including one at St. John's Episcopal Church at 101 S. Prospect St. in Hagerstown, where the organ still makes music for the congregation. To get the organs to their new owners, the company used its own truck, and at one time had three or four tractor-trailers. In later years, the company started using commercial van lines to transport the smaller organs. "It was a nice company to work for," Penner said. "It was always something new to work on because mechanical, electrical and architectural were all things involved with building an organ, so the job became interesting." Penner, who worked with production, engineering, consulting and the sales department at the organ company from 1935 to 1985, said making an organ was a complex job. Hard Times The company remained family owned until 1989, when it was sold to a limited partnership. By 1992, the company's fortunes had fallen. A story in The Herald-Mail referred to outdated equipment and increasingly bitter labor relations. Its economic situation resulted in 30 employees being laid off in February 1992. On April 15 of that year, the company shut its doors for what was to be a two-week period, with officials saying they needed the time for a financial restructuring and possible sale of the business. Paul Coughlin, chairman of the board, was quoted as saying the company needed $600,000 to stay afloat. The plant never would reopen. Early in the shutdown, a union official said workers were owed two weeks of back pay, and that more than half of the union workers and members of the clerical staff were continuing to work without pay. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August 1992. Moller continued to fight to remain viable, seeking loans from the state. An attempt by employees to buy out the business fell through in September. The last effort to reopen the plant came from a group of investors, led by John L. Grove, then-chairman of JLG Industries Inc. in McConnellsburg, Pa. That attempt collapsed at the end of September 1992. Facing the Music In October, the members of Local 21108 of the International Union of Electrical Workers, which represented Moller union employees, held a reception to thank the community for its help in its unsuccessful attempt to buy the company. Moller would make no more organs. The company's closing left 115 people out of work. Delphin Frushour was one of them. "I was devastated when the place closed," Frushour said recently. "I shed a few tears because it's all I'd known since I was 19 years old. It was heartbreaking." An auction was held at the Moller plant on Jan. 13, 1993, and the company's organ equipment, office equipment, tools and hardware went on the block. While the company is gone, it left behind a musical legacy. In its lifetime, M.P. Moller Organ Co. produced about 12,000 organs. "I don't think the whole organ industry has turned out as many organs annually as Moller did," Morrison said. Today, the building where the M.P. Moller Organ Co. built its organs still stands. Vincent Groh bought the property at a liquidation auction, and later sold it to the Ridgecrest Investments of Frederick, Md., the current owner of the property. A representative from the firm did not want to comment on whether there were any plans for the site. Morrison, Frushour and Alvin Rogers worked at the M.P. Moller plant, and today they rent 18,000 square feet of the old Moller building for their Eastern Organ Pipe Co., which is a pipe-making and repair business. The Blue Mountain Wood Works Co. also has space at the location. Despite its eventual end, Morrison said he thinks the story of the M.P. Moller Organ Co. is remarkable. "It's an amazing story of how he started on his own, and in 50 years time, the company became the largest organ company in the country," Morrison said. Moller Did More In addition to the M.P. Moller Organ Co., Mathias Moller was involved in other businesses. With Robert Crawford, Moller formed the Crawford Automobile Co. in 1905. The company produced cars at a plant on Surrey Avenue in Hagerstown, which Moller later converted to apartments. Moller eventually purchased the car company and changed its name to the M.P. Moller Motor Car Co., which turned out high-quality taxicabs and custom-built truck bodies. In 1922, Moller began manufacturing the Dagmar car, which he named for his daughter, Dagmar, who in turn was named for the legendary queen of Bohemia. Fewer than a thousand Dagmars were manufactured before production ceased in 1927, according to published reports. Moller, in 1911, built the Dagmar Hotel, a luxury hotel and, at the time, the tallest building in Hagerstown. The hotel still stands at the corner of Summit Avenue and Antietam Street in downtown Hagerstown. Moller was one of the founders of the Home Builders Building and Loan Association in Hagerstown and was its president for years. Moller spearheaded the movement to erect a YMCA in Hagerstown and was a substantial contributor to its building fund. Moller also was president of the Hagerstown Trust Co. and owner of Moller Music shop. Moller died April 13, 1937, at the age of 82.

10289	Western Maryland continues in the grip of its worst snow storm in years, with Leo T. Downey, Maryland Roads Commission, expressing doubt U. S. Route 40 west of Frostburg would be opened today.
