Koller, Jacob Henry
One of the prosperous and progressive businessmen of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and an extensive dealer in grain and coal, was born near Mechanicsburg, on a farm adjoining the city, December 28, 1859, and is the son of Jonas Koller, a native of Cumberland county. Jacob Koller, the grandfather of Jacob Henry, was an early settler of York county, -who moved from this county to Cumberland county, and purchased a tract of land near Mechanicsburg, which was handed down in the family, and in time proved to be very valuable property. By occupation, he was a farmer and wheelwright, he reared a large family, was widely and favorably known among the old settlers of Cumberland county. The father, Jonas Koller, was a farmer, and he followed this line until his death in 1897, at the age of sixty-eight years. He married Katherine Binghaman, who was born in Cumberland county in 1833, a daughter of Charles and Sarah (Bitter) Binghaman, formerly of Lancaster county. Jacob Henry Koller, received his education in the public schools of Mechanicsburg, and spent the greater portion of his boy-hood days on his father's farm. At the age of twenty, he went into the spoke and wheel industry. In 1897, he opened a warehouse, handling, flour, feed, seeds, coal and grain, has place of business, being very conveniently located near the tracts of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In addition to his own business, he is interested in the banking of the city being a stockholder and director of the First Bank and Trust Company. He is interested in the gas and water companies, and is one of the original organizers and promoters! of the D. Wilcox Manufacturing Company, of which he is stockholder and director. His executive ability, keen insight into existing conditions, and his excellent judgment make him a very valued member of any commercial or financial concern, and his name upon the list of a board of director gives stability and standing to any institution. In 1883, Mr. Koller, was united in marriage to Annie B. Gorgas, of Mechanicsburg, a daughter of Solomon P. Gorgas, a prominent citizen of Mechanicsburg, but now deceased. Politically, Mr. Koller, is a Democrat, but has never accepted public office, his time being occupied with his business interests. Fraternally, he is a Mason, and is connected with Eureka Lodge No. 302, F. and A. M.; Samuel C. Perkins Chapter, R. A. M., and Commandery No. 11, Knights Templar.
Daughter Magdelena/Magdalena married Josiah V. Hoshour/Hoshouer on June 18, 1838 in Shrewsbury Twp., York, PA.
They show up in the transcribed 1850 Shrewsbury Twp. federal census as the "Koshour" family. She is listed as "Magdalena, age 33", enumerated on 14Dec1850.

A Jacob Koller in Shrewsbury Twp. received a transfer of land from John Adam Schaffer in 1801. This is from Chad Hoshour's GEDCOM on ancestry.com:
ID: I344 Name: Johan Adam SCHAFFER Sex: M Birth: 31 OCT 1752 in Atlalaha, Berks County, Pennsylvania Birth: 31 OCT 1752 Death: 14 JAN 1840 in Madisonburg, Miles Township, Center County, Pennsylvania Note: John Adam Schaffer was likely baptized in the Altalaha Church. (The Altalaha, aka Atolheo or Bever Creek Church was founded in 1740s. Acreage was laid out prior to 22 Mar 1748 for church building. Rev. John Caspar Stoever's baptismal record includes about 150 baptisms between 1746-1757 at "Atolheo," considered to be the same location.) Adam, the oldest son of Johannes Schaffer, moved from Berks County to Northumberland Co with his parents in about 1770. He was eighteen years old. He last appeared in the Himmel Church at Holy Supper on April 20, 1777. On December 28, 1782 he served in the Revolutionary War with Peter Klinefelter as a Private in Henry Ferree's Company, 5th Battalion, York County Militia. He married Elizabeth Klinefelter about 1782 from Shrewsbury Twp, York County, Pa. On April 18, 1787 he received 113.25 acres in Shrewsbury Twp. from George and Barbara Klinefelter and on Nov 24, 1787 he received 25 acres from David Schaffer (relationship unknown) . John Adam paid taxes 100 acres in Mahanoy Twp in 1787 as a nonresident. On April 1, 1801 Adam and Elizabeth deeded the land they bought from George Klinefelter to Jacob Koller and moved to Miles Township, Center Co, Pa in 1801 where he was buried in Lutheran Cemetery in Madisonburg. (Early German Settlers of York Co, Pa, Dull, 1997)
