   DANIEL BARTHOLOMEW manufacturer of clothing, P.O. 
Richlandtown.  He is one of the most prominent men engaged 
in this line of business in the township.  He was born in 
Bucks county in 1830, married in 1856 to Mary, daughter of 
John Stoneback, and had two children:  John, deceased, and 
George.  His wife died in 1859, and he was married in 1860, 
to Mary, daughter of John Steiner.  By her he had five 
children:  John and Margaret, deceased; and Lizzie, Amanda 
and Harry, living.  It was as early as 1634 that four 
Bartholomew brothers and a sister came to America from 
London. Born to Andrew and Sarah (Barnger) Bartholomew, 
parents of our subject, were ten children, of whom all are 
now dead excepting Hannah, Christiana and Daniel, who is the 
youngest.  Mr. Bartholomew was formerly engaged extensively 
in blacksmithing and repairing and selling of 
sewing-machines, etc.  In 1870 he began the manufacture of 
clothing.  His business gives employment to ten practical 
workmen.  He devotes his whole time and energy to the 
advancement of his business, and during the busy seasons 
furnishes employment to about two hundred hands, who take 
the work to their homes.
