Henry Stine, son of David, was born May 30, 1823, in Windsor township, Berks county. Pa. He settled upon a farm near Fogelsville, which contained a rich deposit of iron ore. He was engaged in ore mining in connection with operating his farm, at one time employing forty people. He and family were Lutherans and he served as deacon and elder of the Ziegel church, of which he was a member of the building committee that erected the second church to which he contributed liberally in money and labor, hauling nearly all the lumber used in its construction from Allentown.

Mr. Stein was prominent in Masonic circles, and in Democratic politics. He had served his district as a school director and was nominated for the State Legislature, and his election seemed an assured fact but a few days prior to election day, a malicious report was circulated and he failed of election only by a small vote. He married Catharine Miller. She was born June 23, 1829, died on Sept. 9, 1863. He died Dec. 24, 1896. Mrs. Stein was a daughter of Joseph and Catharine (Trexler) Miller, of Upper Macungie and a granddaughter of Andreas and Catharine (Schaeffer) Miller.
