ELI L. CLYMER. At the time that the United States formed a part of the colonial possessions of Great Britain the Clymer family was established in Bucks county. The progenitor of the family in America came from Germany, and most of his descendants have been till- ers of the soil, recognized in the various generations as men of prominence and influence in the community and of un- questioned honor, integrity and worth.

He carried on general farming and also attended the market, and was practical, enterpris- ing and therefore successful in his la- bors. His political support was given to the Republican party. Reared in the

faith of the Mennonite church, he was always a faithful member thereof and was widely known and highly respected in his township. He was a man of ine- dium size, but of strong constitution and did much hard work in his younger years.

Eli L. Clymer was born in Warring- ton township on his father's farm, June 5, 1841, and acquired his education in the public schools. He began earning his own living as a farm hand and after- ward rented land for a year. Subse- quently he purchased a house, but sold this property in the fall of 1868, and bought the farm where he now resides, comprising seventy-one acres, which was originally the John Grove farm. This was but partly improved, but he at once began its further development and cultivation, and made it a splendid prop- erty. He has erected all the present substantial buildings, including a com- modious two story frame residence, which is built in modern style of archi- tecture and is one of the attractive fea- tures of the landscape. There is also large barn and substantial outbuildings. He has set out a good orchard and fol- lows general farming, sending his pro- ducts to the city where they are sold to the commission merchant. In all of his business transactions he is active and energetic, and whatever he undertakes he carries forward to successful com- pletion.

On May 6, 1865, Mr. Clymer was mar- ried to Miss Magdalena Detweiler, who was born in New Britain township. March 12, 1844. a daughter of Joseph and Hannah (Burdy) Detweiler, the former a native of Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and the latter of Montgomery county.
