Ferdinand Von Storch was born December 4, 1810, in Providence Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, near what is now Providence Square, Scranton. His birthplace was the log house occupied for some years by his father, Henry Ludwig Christopher von Storch, which was later replaced by a more imposing frame structure across the way. His father's death left Ferdinand at the age of fifteen years with the responsibility of caring for the widow and six younger children and tilling the broad acres of the homestead, thus rendering efficient aid for a number of years.
January 17, 1833, the house was gladdened by a young bride, Ferdinand having chosen Caroline, daughter of Sidney and Jane (La France) Slocum to rule his domestic affairs on the homestead, which in the settlement of his father's estate, with one hundred acres of excellent land, came into his possession. Miss Slocum was born in Providence, April 29, 1814, being thus about four years his junior.
As the years passed the fond heart of Grandma von Storch, who had removed meantime to another house, was gladdened by the prattle of nine boys and three girls, the fruit of this most happy union, whom we name in order of birth: Henry, Ellen V., Corrington S., Leander, George, Henry Ferdinand, Alexander J., Robert, Cassius M., Caroline Jane, Frederick, and Hannah M.
The von Storch family have always been a hardy race and for many years death was almost unknown among them, these children all reaching maturity except the first, Henry, who died in infancy. However, February 21, 1855, death entered Ferdinand's home and removed the partner of his joys and sorrows, and seven years later the good old grandmother was taken at the ripe age of seventy-nine years and six months.
The early settlers found the hillsides clothed with virgin forests of pine and oak, consequently Ferdinand and his stalwart sons had spent many a weary day clearing up his farm, which was so soon to develop far greater wealth from the once despised "black rock," so plentifully stored in rich seams beneath the surface.
In 1855 the von Storch Coal Company, of which he was the chief promoter, was organized and after having successfully founded this corporation and leased his coal at an advantageous figure for those times, his health having become seriously impaired, he retired from active business. His death occurred November 21, 1868, and his remains were finally laid at rest in the von Storch family burying ground, located on North Main Avenue, Providence, Scranton.
This sketch would not be complete should we fail to mention his open-hearted liberality to the poor and needy. None could be more free in helping the unfortunate. More than one minister of the gospel has been heard to express his appreciation of the many kind offices and liberality of Ferdinand von Storch in assisting him personally. In fact, until the final accounting is made, none can tell the number of his good deeds. "Requiescat in pace."
