Solanco Historical Society will host a presentation on Saturday, June 15, at the society's archives building, 1932 Robert Fulton Highway, Quarryville. The free program will begin at 1:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

Ernest "Ernie" Schreiber will present "The Forgotten History of Quakers in Lancaster County." Schreiber will recount the history of Quakers in Lancaster County from the first arrival of missionaries in 1658 to the construction of the modern-day Friends Meeting House in 1954. His talk will touch on the Quakers' involvement in the Revolutionary War, the slave trade, the abolition movement and the Civil War, Prohibition, turn-of-the-century county government, and World Wars I and II. A question-and-answer period will follow.

Schreiber is the retired executive director of a local newspaper, having previously served as a reporter and editor with the company. He is a media adviser to the Thaddeus Stevens & Lydia Hamilton Smith Center for History and Democracy and the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, founded by his great-aunt, Solanco-born Edna Schreiber. He is a member of the Lancaster Meeting, Religious Society of Friends.

Ernie's Schreiber family roots began in the Buck, where his great-grandparents, Richard and Anna Hack Schreiber, settled after immigrating from Germany in the 1870s.
