MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Great progress is being made in rejuvenating the Society’s
home, just as Spring brings forth new life into view.
The walk-in museum at the Hikes Homestead, which serves
as the Society’s headquarters, is being transformed with rotating displays. Be sure to come by on Saturdays to visit The
Hikes Homestead, which is featured in this newsletter during
our 25th Anniversary year. The Society remains grateful to
Judy Nemesh Hughes, the great-great-granddaughter of Singleton Hikes, for donating the homestead to the Society for
historic preservation. It’s one of the earliest farmhouses along
the main street of Pine Grove.
Thanks to the many volunteers who helped over the last 25
years, the Society is firmly established with its walk-in museum, its genealogy library, its programs, and its community
outreach. I want to thank everyone who has been involved in
some way, including members near and far. Your support and
continued membership is deeply appreciated.
You’ll find interesting displays, documents, and the general
store’s books, pottery, and items that illustrate days long ago
and rekindle fond memories. So, come one, come all!

The Hikes Homestead — Pinegrove Historical Society’s first home
The Pinegrove Historical Society
was chartered in November 1989.
As we observe the 25th anniversary
of its founding during this year of
2014, we look back at the strides
made to preserve and make available to the Pine Grove community
and general public the rich history
of our community and area.
The Historical Society’s mission is
the discovery, collection, display,
preservation, and publication of the
archives and artifacts of the Pine
Grove area; and to provide educational/cultural opportunities for the
community.
Singleton Hikes of York Springs, PA,
who came to Pine Grove in 1846, and
his wife Catherine Harvey, who originated from the Reading, PA, area,
purchased the farm on the fringe of
Pine Grove in the mid-to-late 1840s.
The farm of approximately 100 acres
eventually was parceled for sale in the
1900s and new homes were built on
the parcels, along Oak Grove Road.
Approximately two acres of land,
which included the farmhouse, barn,
chicken coop, outhouse, and some
woodland were retained by the Hikes
family, according to Judy Nemesh
Hughes, the great-great-granddaughter
of Singleton Hikes.
According to Judy, the farm property had been passed on to John Calvin Hikes, one of the sons of Singleton
Hikes, whose early ancestors had
come from Germany. The farmhouse,
which was built in the late 1700s or
early 1800s had a tavern within its
basement area, Judy said. Today, one
can see an original log-built segment
in what had been the rear kitchen of
the house.
Judy and her mother Norma and
grandmother, Vida Hikes, lived in the
farmhouse for many years. “When I
was brought home from Pottsville’s
Warne Hospital in 1939, this farmhouse was the home where we lived.
My parents had divorced, and my
mother stayed with her mother and
they were inseparable,” Judy recalled.

Hikes
Homestead
by Marjorie
Wheeler
Mattox
The Singleton Hikes family farm house and barn site on the north
edge of the Pine Grove borough was gifted to the Pinegrove Historical Society in 1996 by the great-great-granddaughter of Singleton
Hikes, Mrs. Judy Nemesh Hughes of Shiremanstown/Camp Hill, PA.
A provision within the Last Will and
Testament of John Calvin Hikes indicated that his daughter Vida and single
female family members could remain
on the property during their lifetimes,
Judy mentioned this memory based on
what her mother and grandmother had
told her. Judy’s unmarried aunt named
Roxie Hikes also lived with them at
the Hikes Homestead. She primarily
worked as a cleaning lady for the former Manbeck Ford Automobile Dealership in North Pine Grove.
“As a child, I thought it was a huge
house. It had 10 rooms, a large attic, a
cellar, and a huge yard where I could
play,” Judy reminisced. “As an only
child, I invented my pastimes. I looked
for four-leaf clovers in the yard. We
had pet chickens in a chicken coop,
and they gave us eggs every day.”
“There was a little pond across Oak
Grove Road, behind where Pearl
Kreichbaum lives now, and that’s
where I could ice skate in the wintertime,” Judy pointed out. “I used to go
sled riding at the top of the sloped
hillside behind the house.”
“My grandmother liked to cook in
the old kitchen with its large stove.
She canned garden-grown vegetables
and made the best fruit pies. We often
had simple meals like sauerkraut and
mashed potatoes, and oyster stew.
For special treats, we made homemade
ice cream. The rear of the house where
the kitchen was located actually had
two stories to it years ago,” Judy noted.
“One of my playmates was Pat Ney
Booth, whose mother used to take us to
Pottsville to the movie theater. We used
to swim at Echo Valley and at the Pine
Grove community pool. Another
good friend of mine was Nancy Lehman Hopple, and I used to ride my bicycle to her house at the end of Locust
Street in a housing section of the borough that was called Dunkardtown.”
Judy’s mother had worked in various
clothing manufacturing factories in
Pine Grove, Pottsville, and other areas.
Judy’s grandmother Vida also worked
outside of the home, driving herself to
Schuylkill Haven to work the night
shift at a factory. “She was way ahead
of her time,” Judy said, “because she
drove a car and worked in another
town. She taught me to drive the car so
that by age 16 I could get my license.
Our ritual every Saturday was to drive
to Pottsville to the farmer’s market and
the many downtown stores. We’d also
drive to Schuylkill Haven to take the
train to Philadelphia for window shopping at Christmas and Easter times.”

The Hikes Homestead — recollections by a great-great-granddaughter
(continued from previous page)
Judy Nemesh Hughes of Shiremanstown, Camp Hill, PA, in
1996 had gifted the Hikes Homestead acreage and buildings to
the Pinegrove Historical Society
to be utilized as its first headquarters, genealogical library,
and artifacts museum. Judy had
attended Pine Grove schools until
her senior year, which she finished in Pottsville. She lived at
the Hikes Homestead from 19391963, then lived in Harrisburg
where she met her husband
Robert Burton Hughes, who was
teaching at Eastern Lebanon
County schools. They married at
Hershey Lutheran Church. He
accepted a teaching job in Dover,
DE, where they then lived from
1970-1985. While in Dover, Judy
earned her associate’s degree
from Wesley College and her
undergraduate degree from Delaware State College. They next
returned to the greater Harrisburg
area, settling in Shiremanstown
near Camp Hill, and he taught in
elementary schools of the Harrisburg School District. Judy
worked at the US Department of
Agriculture’s Harrisburg office.
Judy and her husband had no
children of their own.
“My mother, grandmother, and my
great-grandfather John Calvin Hikes
just loved the old farmhouse. When
my mother died in 1993, I began
cleaning out the house. My great-aunt
Emma Hikes who was originally from
Lebanon County and who had lived
near the old Drive-In Theater in Pine
Grove Twp., had helped me to go
through the household items. Out of
respect for my mother, who had been
worried that the farmhouse would be
torn down, I ultimately decided to
donate the Hikes Homestead to the
Pinegrove Historical Society after I
had tried unsuccessfully to sell the
property in the summer of 1994. I
brought up the idea of gifting the
home, barn, out-buildings, and land to
the Pinegrove Historical Society and
its Board of Directors after talking
privately with then Board member
Pearl Kreichbaum about my thoughts.
“At that time, the Historical Society
was in its early years and had little
money to buy properties to preserve
them. But, when I approached the
Board of Directors about my idea, they
liked the idea right away,” Judy noted.
“They asked me for my permission to
sell the land where the barn stood in
order for Dr. Mohan’s medical practice
to take up residency on that corner, and
I agreed that it made sense if the house
and yard and adjacent woodland could
be retained and preserved. So, that’s
what we did, and in that way the Pinegrove Historical Society had some
money to renovate the old farmhouse
and preserve it as a museum.”
“The kitchen of the house was rundown and needed to be gutted. Other
parts of the old farmhouse needed repairs and facelifts, too. I am grateful for
the assistance and hard work of several
key Society volunteers to transform the
house to benefit current and future generations of the Pine Grove area.”
The legacy of mid-1800s farmstead owner
Singleton Hikes


Singleton Hikes, whose ancestors came from Germany, had resided
in the York Springs, PA, area, married a young English woman,
Catherine Harvey, from the Reading, PA area, and at about age 23
purchased the farm in approximately 1846 on the outskirts of what
became part of the borough of Pine Grove. The Hikes name spelling
had been changed earlier from the German “Heiges” to “Hikes.”
Singleton Hikes had three sons, one of whom was John Calvin
Hikes. Another son was Morris Hikes, who resided in Pine Grove. A
third son was Walter Hikes.
John Calvin Hikes married Clara Moore and had 11 children (8 sons
& 3 daughters), one of whom was Vida Hikes, who resided all of her
life at the Hikes Homestead.
Vida Hikes had one daughter Norma, who resided with her mother.
Norma married and later divorced John Nemesh, with whom she had
one daughter Judy. Norma and Judy lived with Vida, who died at
age 102 at the Hikes Homestead.
Norma continued to retain ownership of the Hikes Homestead until
her death in 1993, when Judy inherited the property.
Judy helped the Pinegrove Historical Society have its first home in
1996 when she donated the Hikes Homestead.

Transformation took hundreds of hours of labor by willing volunteers of the PG Historical Society
From the idea to gift the property, it took envisioning by several of the original Board of Directors of the Pinegrove Historical Society to transform the Hikes farmhouse into today’s
walk-in museum and research library. Among those key Society leaders who saw the value in preserving one of the earliest
farm homesteads on the edge of Pine Grove were Alice Leininger Melnicove, Anna Rarick Potts, Salem Potts, and Pearl
Rhein Kreichbaum. Other volunteers over the years joined
them in the hands-on labor required to renovate the farmhouse. They included Joan and Earl Knarr, Margery Wheeler
Mattox, Alice Spayd, Angela Frank, Emily and Dennis Hikes,
Joel Whitehouse, George and Janet Jones, Charles and Rebecca Luckenbill, Donald Potts, Ken & Jackie Lehman, John
Stahl, and John & Louise Keesey and son John.

The American Eagle Hotel in the early 1800s in downtown Pine Grove, Schuylkill County, serviced travelers along Tulpehocken Street, the main thoroughfare
that connected points such as Lebanon, PA, to the south and the coal regions to
the north of the town. This drawing was by Pine Grove resident Margery
Wheeler Mattox.
Grove’s American Eagle Hotel, which was constructed by
1815 and served the community in several ways until it
was torn down in 1969. Judy
Nemesh Hughes’ great aunt
and uncle, Marian and Samuel Lehman, had owned and
lived at the old Eagle Hotel.
Today, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) building
and parking lot are located
where this historic early hotel
once stood. Marian’s sisters
Vida Hikes and Roxie Hikes
were cooks at the Eagle Hotel
in the 1940s. Judy Nemesh
Hughes recalled times when
she visited this hotel, fondly
remembering that Dalmatian
dogs were kept as pets by her
relatives there. The Lehman
couple sold the hotel in 1948
when Judy was 9 years old.
Do you
remember…?
The town of Pine Grove and
surrounding townships at one
time had as many as...
7 covered bridges
7 bar rooms
7 churches
The Eagle Hotel had rooms for rental on daily and longer-term basis, a restaurant dining area with a large bar room, and wide porches on the first and second floors from which travelers could sit and watch the traffic go past. The
building had contained a post office in 1820 and it served as an election polling place. This photograph was taken most likely in the early 1900s.
Can you name the locations of
these structures? Do you have
photographs of any of them and
could temporarily loan your
photo(s) to the Pinegrove Historical Society? PgHS will scan
