One who will soon be classed among the old settlers of Preston is Christopher Kress, who by his energy and pluck has accumulated considerable property and who has greatly aided in giving Preston a good name as a desirable place of resort for the cure of rheumatism and kindred diseases, through its mineral baths.

The mineral springs were struck by one Peter Erb while boring for salt in 1838, which he never obtained. He placed no value in the sulphur water he had so struck. After abandoning boring, the water of the spring was employed for driving an overshot wheel of a wagon making shop, occupied by one Daniel Hagey, until Mr. Samuel Cornell obtained from Mr. Joseph Erb sufficient land near the spring to erect an hotel. Mr. Cornell with great energy built suitable premises and a bath house with boiler to enable him to furnish hot and cold baths.. His undertaking proved successful but death terminated his career. The property was sold and Christopher Kress became its owner. He greatly enlarged, improved and ornamented it and the invalids who have sought and obtained relief at the Preston mineral baths count by the hundreds.

Notes:

Jacob Hagey, "youngest son of Andrew Hagey,(Hagey then spelled Hege) was born Saxony, Germany, in 1749. In 1767, when eighteen years of age, he emigrated to America and settled in Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Here he was married to Susannah Schwartz. They had a family of five children.... The first Abraham died aged only a few days. Of Jacob we have some information. He was a clock-maker like his father, and sold his farm in Montgomery (Lower Salford) County, March 21st, 1828. He had a small family, the descendants of which are still in Montgomery County. Of Abraham nothing is known, quite likely his descendants are yet to be found in Montgomery County. Catharine was married to one named Eli Clemens. She never came to Canada."

Notes:

Andrew Hagey, "the original ancestor of this popular family was a native of southern Switzerland. Here, upon being molested too much by the state parties, he, in company with others, went to Saxony Germany, where they were promised protection and granted the freedom to worship God according to their views of the teaching of the Bible. Here the old ancestor, Andrew Hagey, died with the blessed hopes of going to the heavenly mansions to rejoice with such who praise the Lamb of God. His family consisted of three children, namely: Daniel, Catharine and Jacob. Of Daniel we know nothing except that he remained in Saxony where he died. Catharine was married to a Meier and had a numerous family. Some of her descendants are scattered through the Southern and Western states. Of Jacob we have more information. He was born in or near Neustadt, Saxony, Germany."
