Felix was born Feb. 28, 1738, and was baptized by Rev. J. Henricus Goetsehius. His sponsors at baptism were Felix Brunner and his wife, Barbara. When about twenty-one years of age he lost his life in a somewhat singular manner. He had started to take a load of farm produce to Philadelphia, and on the way spent a night at North Wales, at the inn kept by Matthias Schwenk, whose daughter, Elizabeth, was subsequently married to his brother, Daniel. Rising early in the morning, while it was dark, he fell into the well, which, it seems, was not well covered, and was drowned. He was unmarried.
