About Henry J. S. Gerberich
Henry had a total of fifty grandchildren. His education and early training were gained in the common schools of the neighborhood. He was an industrious, frugal and enterprising farmer and raised a large family of prosperous children. His home life was of the pleasantest description and his disposition even and amiable. His character was above reproach and in all the walks of life he conducted himself so as to win the esteem and respect of all who knew him. The farm where he lived is now owned by Henry Early, and is on the slight ridge west of Walmers Church along the road from Harpers to Pinegrove; the red brick house in which his children were born and raised is still standing, and looks toward Indiantown Gap. There is a beautiful view of the first range of the Blue Ridge, taking in, it is said, on a clear day, the skyline from Schuylkill to Susquehanna Gaps. He was frequently given the name of "Forty-foot Henry" because of his insistence upon certain dimensions when the second church at old Walmers was built. (History of the Gerberich Family in America)
