Mr. Mark was a Republican, and, with his family, was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. That he enjoyed sub- stantial prosperity and stood high in the community, was due to his own faithful and persevering efforts and to the courageous determination which never forsook him, even in times of adversity. He was an earnest and consistent Christian, a good citi- zen, a devoted and affectionate husband and father, and deservedly enjoyed the confi- dence and esteem of all who knew him.
The parents of Mrs. Mark are both de- ceased. They had nine children, four of whom are deceased : Jacob; Annie ; Harry, married Louisa Early, and died leaving nine children; and Elizabeth, wife of William Carmany, left one child.

The parents of Mrs. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Clouser, had three other children: Henry, Maria, and Zachariah, who died in infancy.
Daniel Newton Miller was left an orphan at an early age, and had to make his own living soon after his father's death. Both be- fore and after his father died he attended the common schools of the township a few weeks of each year, but he was obliged to work on the farm during the busy seasons, and thus earn his own support. From the age of eigh- teen until he was twenty-one he was em- ployed as a teamster; after that he began farming on his own account by renting land to farm on shares. He was fortunate in making this arrangement with a man like Mr. Jacob Weaver, who let him have a farm on these terms, and continued the contract with him for over ten years. Mr. Weaver had so much confidence in young Miller and cherished so friendly a spirit toward him, that he made provision in his will whereby Mr. Miller might become owner of the farm on easy conditions by paying out the inter- est of other heirs of the estate as he could conveniently do so. When the farm in this way came into his possession, Mr. Miller planned and executed substantial and valu- able improvements; he has by industrious and skillful cultivation made it one of the best farms in Lykens Valley.

From 1868 to 1884 Mr. Gilbert and his family re- sided on his Mt. Pleasant farm; since then their home has been in Millersburg. Mr. Gilbert has experienced the ordinary vicissi- tudes of a business life, and he has steadily persevered, meeting adversity bravely, and enjoying prosperity without undue elation. The outcome of his enterprise and prudence is an ample competence for himself and his family.

GILBERT, SAMUEL E., farmer, was born on the old homestead in Upper Paxton town- ship, Dauphin county, Pa., July 31, 1840. He is a son of Samuel and Sarah (Enter- line) Gilbert. Samuel Gilbert was born Oc- tober 2, 1805, and died December 4, 1886. His wife, Sarah Enterline, daughter of Michael Enterline, was born December 20, 1805, and died August 6, 1875.

Samuel E. Gilbert attended the public schools of his township part of each year until he was twenty-one, and assisted his father in the farm work during the busy seasons. He became of age in 1861 and must seek some business of his own. Find- ing that his father was ready to afford him a chance on the home farm, he entered into an agreement to farm it on shares, and this agreement lasted until 1875. Those were years of hard work, but the farming was skillfully conducted, and the returns most economically used, so that at the end of fourteen years Mr. Gilbert found himself with sufficient money in hand to buy a farm of his own. Of all the land for sale the property that he preferred and could secure on the most favorable terms was the one he had been so long cultivating. His father was willing to sell, so Samuel E. became owner of the homestead, comprising one hundred and twenty-five acres. Mr. Gilbert now set about the cultivation and improve- ment of his farm with, if possible, increased diligence. His judicious and careful man- agement has brought the farm and all its appurtenances to a high degree of excellence,
and has placed Mr. Gilbert among the most prosperous farmers of the township.
Samuel E. Gilbert was married, May 6, 1861, to Susan, daughter of Joseph and De- lilah (Yeager) Nace. They have had four children, of whom one is deceased, Cathe- rine, born November 1, 1862, died Septem- ber 6, 1886, wife of Oliver Holtzman, had two children, James Samuel and one that died in infancy. The surviving children of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert are: Laura J., born December 6, 1864, wife of Ira Holtzman, has six children, Lester, Susan, Sarah, Mabel, Florence, and George; Savilla, September 20, 1867, wife of George Shaffer, has two chil- dren, Laura and Annie ; Carrie, January 3, 1870 ; Salome, July 13, 1874.
Mr. Gilbert is not too busy with his own affairs to pay a little attention to public mat- ters. He is interested in politics and acts with the Republican party. He served on the school board for six years, during which term he was secretary of the board; he has also served one term as supervisor. Mr. Gil- bert and his family attend the United Breth- ren church.

ried to Charles Stroup, who died ; afterwards to Charles Diebler, and they had three chil- dren.
Jacob H. Forney was educated in the com- mon schools of his township, which he at- tended a part of each year until he was cigli- teen. He was industrious and made him- self useful to his father in farm work and in various other ways. In his nineteenth year be began to learn the trade of stone masonry with William Seal, Upper Paxton township, at which he served an apprenticeship of three years, making himself thorough mas- ter of his trade. It is an evidence of his proficiency that Mr. Seal retained him for ten years as a journeyman. At the end of that time he engaged in business on his own account for some time ; he was also for a while in the employ of Isaac Maris, a con- tractor. The excellence of Mr. Forney's work is visible in a number of public struc- tures on which he was engaged in the con- struction of the masonry. Among these may be named the following: The bridges at Rockville, Susquehanna township; at Harrisburg, and across Pine creek, near Gratz; Diebler's bridge, in Upper Paxton township, and Bechtel's bridge, in Washing- ton township. The workmanship of Mr. Forney is prominent also in important pri- vate buildings, especially the masonry in the foundations of large barns. Among these may be named some of the largest barns in the township, as those of John Diebler, Henry Williards, William Lehman, and Mrs. Catherine Wert. He was also engaged on the masonry of the Catholic church at Williams- town, the church at Lykens and the school house at Uniontown. In 1834, finding it de- sirable to change his occupation, Mr. Forney laid down the stone hammer and trowel and began farming the Paul place, in Upper Pax-
- ton township, where he remained two years. This experiment in agriculture proving suc- cessful, he concluded to buy a farm, and in 1886 he bought ninety-eight acres of land, which he has so judiciously improved and so carefully and skillfully tilled as to bring it to a high degree of excellence, and to make his homestead one of the most flour- ishing and attractive farms in this region. Jacob H. Forney was first married, March 20, 1876, to Sallie, daughter of William J. and Elizabeth Weaver. They had five chil- dren, of whom two are deceased : Minnie, born July 2, 1878, died at the age of three years, and an infant. The surviving chil-
dren are : Anna Nora, born October 18,1876 ยท Sallie M. and Marie, twins, born June 5. 1885; they are so alike in appearance that the parents often fail to distinguish them. Mrs. Forney died June 17, 1885, twelve days after the birth of the twins. Mr. Forney was again married, March 20, 1SS6, to Lisle, daughter of Andrew and Lydia (Schreffler) Woland. Mr. Forney is a Republican. The family attend the Reformed church.
Andrew Woland, father of Mrs. Lisle For- ney, died January 9, 1886, aged sixty-three. He had a family of five children : John ; Henry ; Lisle, Mrs. Forney ; Amelia, wife of William H. Seal; and Lydia, residing in Harrisburg, Pa. Andrew Woland, grand- father of Mrs. Forney, married Elizabeth Ditty. Their children are: Solomon, Jacob, John, Andrew, Katie, Polly, Adelia, and Mrs. Bowerman.
