Misc. Notes
Henry, in all probability a son of Jacob Gangewere, was born June , 1765, and died Nov. 2, 1849, and was buried in the burial ground adjoining the Friedensville church in Upper Saucon. He was a farmer on the old Gangewere homestead, which was divided during his lifetime, two of his sons, Solomon and John, each receiving a portion on which they built homes. Upon the part retained by Henry Gangewere and that of Solomon, iron ore beds were discovered, which were worked for many years by the Thomas Iron Company and the Bethlehem Iron Company. For the last ten years the Bingen Brick Company has been engaged in manufacturing brick from the dirt that had been washed from the ore. A part of the tract taken by John Gangewere has been cut up into building plots, and the village of Spring Valley (Saucona) has arisen. Numerous large and never-failing springs are located there. Henry Gangewere married Elizabeth Kale, born May 2, 1770, died May 27, 1826.
