David B. Landis Collection

Admin/Biographical History
David Bachman Landis was born in Landisville, Pennsylvania on 12 February 1862, the son of Israel C. and Mary M. Landis. As a school boy, he worked in his father's dry goods store and published a paper for boys titled Keystone Amateur. He began his printing career by apprenticing at the Inquirer Printing and Publishing Company in Lancaster in 1878, and in 1883 he opened his own job printing office in Landisville where he published the Village Vigil.
Mr. Landis moved to Lancaster in 1888 and started Pluck Art Printery. He started out in Lancaster by publishing Pluck, a magazine dedicated to the fields of printing and photography, but soon devoted his business to commercial and society printing. The name was changed in 1914 to Landis Art Print.
Printing, however, was not his only passion. He was an avid bicyclist and belonged to the Lancaster Cycling Club and the League of American Wheelmen. Through these organizations, he helped to improve the condition of roads in Pennsylvania. He was active in the Lancaster County Historical Society, the Pennsylvania German Society, the Ben Franklin Club, and Grace Lutheran Church. He wrote poetry and essays, and dedicated many pieces to friends and family.
David B. Landis married Nora K. Baker of Landisville in 1885. They had four children. Nora passed away in 1910. David married his second wife, Bertha L. Cochran, in 1914.

Letter from William Augustus Atlee to Gen. Joseph Reed
Description
Letter from William Augustus Atlee to Gen. Joseph Reed regarding the condition of nearly 2,000 British prisoners-of-war (POWs) confined in barracks in Lancaster. There were about 800 prisoners of war stationed at the Lancaster Barracks, many sick with a "putrid fever," when more arrived from Virginia without knowledge of the conditions at Lancaster. Nearly 500 of the newly arrived prisoners-of-war were women and children. Married couples were encamped on the common outside the stockade and some in the old stables. Curbing the illness that was quickly spreading through the barracks and preventing it from spreading throughout Lancaster was the primary concern.
