I think the general notion of the neighbors was that Christiana made him a very faithful wife, notwithstanding her methodical and business-like courtship. Reuben began life as a school teacher and about 1829 or 1830 came into Lan- caster county and started a subscription school (there being then no free school) m a small village on the road from Stras- burg to the Gap, about two miles west of the latter place. Reuben baptized the village Bethania, but it was more gener- ally known in the neighb...orhood as Pud- dingtown. I have not been able to find any one who went to Reuben's school at this time, but believe he was fairly successful with it. At the end of the first year, however, the image of the maiden whose name alone stood out unmarked among her seventy-nine crossed off sisters in the (121) little book be carried in his inside vest pocket grew so vivid tbat Reuben could no longer resist its mute appeals, and having meantime purchased the house in which he taught the school and a few acres of land with it, he went back to Chester county and soon returned with his bride to Bethania.
