During  his  long  professional  career  Mr.  Loeser  acted  as  legal  adviser  to
many  of  "the  mining  companies.  So  well  known  was  his  sense  of  what  was
just  and  proper,  that  he  quelled  many  an  incipient  riot  in  the  numerous  strikes
among  the  coal  miners  of  his  time,  by  merely  raising  his  hand,  and  directing
the  men  to  return  to  work,  telling  them  that  he  would  personally  present  their
grievances  to  the  operators,  and  he  never  betrayed  the  confidence.  After
the  removal  of  the  county  seat  to  Pottsville,  Mr.  Loeser  became  a  resident
of  that  borough,  where  death,  which  occurred  March  27,  1865,  at  the  age  of
seventy-two  years,  closed  his  long  and  useful  career.  Mr.  Loeser  was  mar-
.    ried  to  Louisa  Bartle  Sept.   15,   1833.
WILLIAM  N.  STINE,  a  prominent  resident  of  Barry  township,  has
occupied  his  home  place  there  for  over  thirty  years.  He  has  prospered  and
has  made  investments  from  time  to  time  in  other  farm  lands,  still  retaining
valuable  interests  of  the  kind.  But  he  has  availed  himself  of  the  opportunities
to  go  into  other  fields,  has  been  a  successful  trader,  and  at  present  does  con-
siderable business  handling  real  estate.
