Bollinger, of Canton, he bought 160 acres in Sec.17 and laid off the town of Lancaster. He (Fahnestock) returned to Pennsylvania and the next year brought his family to their new home. Two of Mr. Bollinger's sons (Albert L. & William D.) were in my Co. I, 86th Ill. The old people are all dead. Wm. Bollinger lives in Lancaster, Penn., a homeopathic physician."
