Editing Lewisberry, Pennsylvania (section)

===Incorporation and growth===
Lewisberry was not incorporated until 1832, fifty years later, and the first census figures of 1840 show a population of 220.  In 1800, Henry Ensminger opened a large [[Tanning (leather)|tannery]] just south of town that was later owned and operated by Samuel Grove.  More significant for the town's growth was John Herman, who built a large flour mill on the west side of the borough. But the town's most successful operator was Andrew Cline, who ran a large and successful milling business during the second half of the 19th century.  The mill and house are still standing just outside the borough beside Silver Lake, which was created to power the mill.  One of Lewisberry's most important small industries during the 19th and early 20th centuries was the manufacture of block [[sulfur|brimstone]] matches, and the families of Lyman Lewis, Herman Kirk, Moses Magrew, Rt. Starr, and Lyman Shettle became prosperous through this industry.

In the early 19th century, Joseph Potts manufactured the area's first [[coffee mill]]s out of his home.  This industry grew under his children, and by the middle of the century, Lewisberry was producing large numbers of coffee grinders in a small factory near the Quaker meeting house.  In 1835, William Smith started a newspaper in the bustling town.  In 1837, Lewisberry native Hervey Hammond began manufacture of the patented Hammond [[window sash]] spring, and in 1838, President [[Martin Van Buren]] installed Hammond springs in all of the [[White House]]'s windows.<ref>Prowell, George R.
