Peter Schlee, a veteran of the Civil War, residing in Franklin Township, Columbia, county, was born Feb 26, 1844, a son of Frederick and Hettie (Mench) Schlee. His parental grandfather was a native of German.
Frederick Schlee was born in Germany and left his native land when nineteen years old, coming to the United States. Locating first at Slabtown, Pa, he there followed his trade of shoemaking, in partnership with Henry Yost. Later he worked in the coal mines at St. Clair, Schuylkill, Pa., continuing thus for twelve years during the winter months, while in the summertime he burned charcoal in Locust township, Columbia County. Having during this time been frugal, he was able to buy 110 acres of land, known as the Berger farm, upon which he died in 1862. He remains were interred in the cemetery at Catawissa, Pa. Politically he was a Democrat. His wife was born in Locust Township, near Newlin. For eleven years prior to her death, at the great age of eighty-four years, she was blind. This most excellent woman was laid to rest by the side of her husband. The children of Frederick Schlee and his wife were: Peter, John and Frederick.
Peter Schlee commenced his independent career in 1861 as a boatman on the canal, running from Bloomsburg, Pa. He took the first soldiers to enlist from Columbia County for the Civil War, the “Iron Guards,” from Bloomsburg to Harrisburg, to be at Camp Curtin, where they were accepted. On Feb 15, 1864, Mr. Schlee enlisted at Danville in Company H, Baldy guards, and was ordered to Brand Station, VA, whence he was sent to the wilderness, participating in the lengthy engagement, and also in those at Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor and Petersburg, where he was in a skirmish and engaged in throwing up entrenchments. From that point the regiment embarked for Washington, D.C. and had a fight outside the city, and Mr. Schlee remained with his company until honorably discharged, June 29, 1865.
After returning from the army, Mr. Schlee resumed boating, but after a year engaged with the Reading Railway Company, also for a year. He then began farming, being employed by Jesse Mensch, but after six years of agricultural life went back to the railroad work, engaging with the Pennsylvania Company, with which he still remains. Politically he is a Democrat. Fraternally, he belongs to the Knights of the golden Eagle.
Mr. Schlee is married to Elizabeth Loreman, a daughter of Samuel and Mary (Everett) Loreman of Franklin Township. Mr. and Mrs. Schlee have become the parents of the following children: Mary Ellen; Samuel F; Harvey J and Margaret El, who married Edward Hartman; Peter L; George R; and Priscilla, who married T. Mensch.
