"ELIAS BACHERT has an up-to-date farm and mill property in East Brunswick township, of which he may justly be proud, as it has been brought to its present state through his efforts. His milling equipment is now very complete, and the other improvements he has installed are equally valuable, adequate for the conduct of his business operations and affording home and farm accommodations above the ordinary. Mr. Bachert has long been well known as a reliable miller in this section, where the family is of old standing. Born in East Brunswick township Aug. 14, 1843, he is a son of John Bachert and grandson of George Bachert."
Elias Bachert was educated in the schools of East Brunswick township, and continued to work for his father until twenty years of age. He entered the employ of William Heibke, for the purpose of learning milling, in the Roaring creek valley. Columbia Co., Pa., remained there one year, and next went to Mifflinville, Columbia county, where he served a further apprenticeship with Albert Brown, miller, spending one year with him also. His next experience was gained with Daniel Yost, at Lewistown, m Walker township, Schuylkill county, with whom he worked a few months in the same business. Then for one winter he was with Abraham Daubert, in East Brunswick township, after which he entered the employ of Jonas Kunkel, in the same township, and managed his mill for five years. At the end of that period he went to Mahanoy City and entered the steam flour mill of Andrew Hoppes, where he remained one year, thence returning to East Brunswick township, where he bought his present mill and adjoining farm of seventy-five acres from William Koch; he has added to his holdings until he now has 163 acres and one rod, of which about sixty acres are under cultivation. The property has undergone steady development since it came into his hands. The many improvements he has made include a new barn, gristmill, cider press and sawmill, and provide ample facilities for the general farming and milling business he carries on. Practically all his time is given to business, and though he is a good citizen in every sense of the term he does not enter actively into the affairs of government. He is a Democrat on political questions, and like his immediate ancestors a member of the Frieden's Lutheran Church. Mr. Bachert married Hannah Merkle, a daughter of William and Elizabeth (Dunkel) Merkle, and children as follows have been born to them: Albert Robert, born May 12, 1868, is a farmer in East Brunswick township; William Ivy, born July 25, 1869, married Edith Leiby; Elizabeth, born Oct. 28, 1870, died when three months old; Cordelia was born Jan. 10, 1871; John E., born June 17, 1878, married Amanda Nester; Richard A., born Oct. 14, 1882, died in 1900; Howard J., was born March 18, 1886; Luther P., Nov. 18, 1887; Thomas W., May 9, 1890; Oscar P., June 7, 1895."
