his death occurred. He was a preacher, of the Dunkard faith, in both Lancaster and Cumberland counties. Of his children. there is record of Jacob (2), Tobias. Benjamin, John. Henry. Fannie, Leah. Mary, Susie and Nancie.
Jacob Seitz (2), son of Jacob, was born in Lancaster county, and there acquired such education as fell to the lot of pioneer lads. He worked for his father in his young man- hood. and also for two years after the re- moval of the family to Cumberland county. When he started out for himself, he rented land where his son, Jacob B. now resides, and then moved to his father-in-law's home, along the State road in West Pennsboro township. He next went to West Hill, where he bought a small place, and that was his home at the time of his death Oct. 22, 1878. He married Susie Bowman, daughter of Samuel and Susan Bowman, of Cumberland county. She died in 1856. They were the parents of the following children: Lizzie, living in Baltimore; Martha, of Missouri; Susan, of Mechanicsburg, this county; Jacob B .; and Mary, Fannie and Annie, all three living at West Hill.
JACOB B. SEITZ was born in West Penns- boro township, in 1841, and there grew to manhood, attending school at such times as his services were not needed at home. He worked for his father until his marriage, and then located at West Hill, where he en- gaged in agricultural pursuits for six years. In 1882 he bought the old home farm of 156 acres, and moved there. The barn was erected in 1800, and the residence in 1802, but both were substantial structures, and had always been well cared for. On Nov. 28, 1876, he married Lizzie H. Bear, daughter of John and Mary Bear, of West Pennsboro township. Seven children have blessed their union : John B .; Harvey E., at Carlisle,
where he is superintendent of the Carlisle Nursery Company's green houses ; Elmer, attending Dickinson College; and Mary, Sue, Warren and Raymond, at home. For generations the family have been known as God-fearing Christians, and while the orig- inal founder of the family in America was a Dunkard minister, the later members have belonged to the Diller Church of Old Men- nonites.
Jolın B. Seitz is, like his father, a native of West Pennsboro township. He has grown up on the old homestead, where he still lives, assisting his father in all its work, and gradually preparing himself, as the eld- est of the family, to shoulder the responsi- bilities. He is very active in Church work, and is superintendent of the Sunday School of the Old Mennonites, in which faith he is a deacon. He has so ordered his life as to be well worthy the high esteem in which he is held.

Abner C. Brindel was reared on the homestead farm and secured his education in the public schools. Until 1863 he was en- gaged in farming, teaching and clerking, going then to Philadelphia to accept a posi- tion there with a wholesale tobacco house. Mr. Brindel was a man of character and the high estimation placed upon his abilities was shown when, in 1864, he was appointed teller in the First National Bank of Carlisle, and in the following February was ap- pointed teller of the First National Bank of Mechanicsburg. In November, 1868, he was elected cashier, which responsible and honorable position he held until the time of his death, in 1898. Mr. Brindel was not only a prominent business man, but he was a most loyal citizen also, and in 1862 was one of the first to respond to the Governor's call for troops. In 1863 he enlisted in the 49th Pennsylvania State militia, under Capt. John Murphy, and was mustered out at Phil- adelphia in September, 1863. Abner C. Brindel was a stanch Republican and of great influence in the councils of his party in this locality. Few men have been more highly esteemed for uprightness of life and stability of character, and he was universally recognized as a true type of the best of American citizenship.
On Dec. 3. 1868, Mr. Brindel married Mary E. Egbert, of Perry county, Pa., daughter of J. R. and Sarah (Carver) Eg- bert, of that county, but natives of Mont- gomery county. Two children were born to this marriage, the one survivor being
Charles Egbert, whose name opens this sketch. The latter is a great-great-grand- son of Peter Bricker. who was born in 1735, in Lancaster county, and who married Mary Barr. He was a son of Peter Bricker, who came to America from Switzerland about 17II, settling in Lancaster county.
Charles Egbert Brindel was given ex- cellent educational advantages, and after completing the common school course be- came a student at the Shippensburg State Normal School and Dickinson Seminary, at Williamsport, Pa. Then he entered upon the study of medicine with Dr. J. B. Span- gler, of Mechanicsburg, later taking a busi- ness course and graduating in 1891 at the Iron City Commercial College, at Pittsburg. Since that time Mr. Brindel has resided at Mechanicsburg, where his mother also lives, in the beautiful family home on West Main street. Mr. Brindel is very prominently identified with public matters and business enterprises in this vicinity, and sustains a reputation he gained in early manhood for stability of character and good citizenship.
On Oct. 26, 1893. Mr. Brindel was united in marriage with Miss Grace Irene Hockman, daughter of Jacob and Amanda Hockman, most highly esteemed residents of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.
Like his father Mr. Brinde! has been very active in the ranks of the Republican party and has taken a prominent position in its councils and deliberations in Cumberland county for a considerable period, showing all the elements which may, in the future, make him a tactful and shrewd party leader. He has been the most efficient secretary of the Cumberland county Republican committee for some time. Mr. Brindel has also been a leader in fraternal circles and is promi- nently connected with the order of O. U. A. M., Lodge No. 197, of Mechanicsburg ;

Peter Bricker died Aug. 25, 1875, and his wife in June, 1862.
Joseph Bricker was reared on his father's farm and attended the local schools until he was seventeen years of age. Although then but a mere youth, he offered his services to his country, enlisting in Company D, 78th P. V. I., under Col. Bonanfine, and was ordered, with the regiment, to Nashville, Tenn., participating in the battle at that point and in several others. His services contin- ued from September, 1864, to September, 1865, during the greater part of which time he was doing guard duty along various rail- roads.
After his honorable discharge, Mr. Bricker returned to Mechanicsburg, and soon after, went to Missouri, where he spent some three years in farming. Going north, he farmed a year or two in Minnesota, and also rafted lumber on the Mississippi. This life, however, was too strenuous a one, and, in the spring of 1871, he returned to Cum- berland county, and went to work on his father's farm in Silver Spring township. After marriage he settled for five years in Hampden township, and then went back to Silver Spring township, where he lived until 1897. He owns two farms, one of 100 acres, with good dwelling, barns, sheds and out-
buildings, everything being in good shape and suitable for farming and stock raising. and one of forty acres adjoining. He moved to Mechanicsburg in 1897, renting his farm, and engaged for a year in the grocery busi- ness. A year later he disposed of this, and bought the property in College Park, which he has occupied ever since. In 1901 he be- came a contractor to carry the mail on Rural Route No. 5, and has proven himself a very satisfactory official.
In 1873 Mr. Bricker married Clara Sipe, of Silver Spring township, daughter of Peter and Caroline ( Wilson) Sipe, formerly of York county. Two children were born to this union, Peter and Ella. Both Mr. Bricker and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church. In politics he is a Republican. Fraternally, he belongs to Me- chanicsburg Post, No. 415, G. A. R.

Hannah Snyder, and their chikIren were: Henry B., who married Mary Reiber. daughter of George Reiber, and lives in West Pennsboro township, Cumberland County: John A .. mentioned elsewhere : George W .: William, who died in 1896; and Annie, who married H. C. Sweigart. of Car- lisle, and had twin daughters, Minnie and Minna, both married and living in Carlisle. George Swarner had two sisters, one being Maria.
George W. Swarner was born in Perry county. as above stated. The public schools of his native township afforded him his edu- cational facilities. His early training was all in the line of farm work, and it was but natural that on attaining man's estate he should follow that work. In 1866 he came to Cumberland county, and rented from a Mr. Sugar a farm in North Middleton town- ship. where he remained until 1870, when he settled on a farm in South Middleton township, which was his home until 1883. the year of his removal to Dickinson town- ship. In the latter township he purchased the old Park Peffer farm of ninety-nine acres of rich land, on which he at once erected a new barn. He also repaired the house, making of it a substantial dwelling. In 1887 he bought the farm known as the William G. Peffer farm. containing 101 acres, and still later he became the owner of forty-one acres ad- joining. His property has been the accumu- lation of his own economy, and that of his good wife. He is typically a self-made man. having received little aid from friends or relatives. In 1800. determined to rest from active work, he came to Carlisle, and pur- chased a fine home at No. 226 West Sonth street, which he improved, making it a thor- oughly comfortable modern home.
