(VII) JACOB MARTIN FRICK, born Nov. 22, 1855, in Carroll county, Md., son of Christian Frick, is now living retired in Wash- ington township, York Co., Pa. He was actively engaged in farming there until the spring of 1905, and is one of the prominent citizens and large landowners of that town- ship. Mr. Frick spent his early life in his na- tive county, coming to York county with his widowed mother in 1867. From that time un- til he was twenty-four he lived with his uncle, Joseph Speck, and during that period attended school in Warrington township, receiving an excellent common-school training. On leav- ing his uncle he commenced agricultural work on his own account, and in spite of his youth had the ambition to buy 103 acres in Washing- ton township, of Adam Kinter. He lived on that tract for many years, making all the changes and improvements which give the place its high value at the present day. He has always been progressive, and by first-class methods and the exercise of excellent judg- ment in his work he succeeded so well that he was able to purchase more property from time to time. His holdings now comprise 253 acres of valuable improved farming land, all ad- joining in Washington township. The place on which he has lived since he retired, in the spring of 1905, is a nice farm of fifty-two acres, and he bought the adjoining farm of eighty-seven acres from Solomon Border's estate. Few farms are better situated any- where in York county ; a fine view of this beau- tiful agricultural region is to be had from the site of Mr. Frick's home, and his own attrac- tive acres form a pleasing part of the pros- pect. Mr. Frick is still in the prime of life, and with the comfortable competence he has accumulated by good management and judi- cious investments he can look forward to many enjoyable years. He is an estimable citizen, living his own life for the good of others as well as for his own benefit, and is willing to help others do the same. As a deacon in the Lutheran Church at Barrentz he is actively in- terested in Christian work generally as well as in the welfare of his own church, and ex- ercises a strong influence for good in his com- munity. He is not identified in any particular way with public affairs, but gives his sympathy and support to the Republican party.

Mr. Frick was married. Oct. 30, 1879, to Hattie B. Speck, from Virginia, daughter

ENOS S. MANN, M. D. The medical profession has in York county an able and pop- ular representative in Dr. Mann, who main- tains his home in the attractive borough of Dallastown, York township, and who con- trols a large practice throughout that section of the county, where he is held in high esteem as a physician and a citizen. The Doctor has been in a significant sense the architect of his own fortunes, having gained through his own efforts the funds which enabled him to com- plete his academic and technical education, and thus his success is the more gratifying to con- template.

Enos Seitz Mann is a native of the old Keystone State, having been born in Manor township, Lancaster county, Oct. 17, 1865, son of Henry W. and Anna C. (Seitz) Mann, both representatives of old and honored pioneer families of that section of the State, where his father devoted his life to agricultural pursuits.

Bernhart Mann, the great-great-grandfath- er of Dr. E. S. Mann, was born May 9. 1740. and when eight years of age emigrated from Heiffenhart, Germany, to America. He was. in accordance with the method of that period among emigrants, sold for his passage money to a Mr. Stehman. of Lancaster county, with whom he remained until his majority was at- tained. after which he settled upon a purchase of eighty acres of land in Manor township. He married Marv Staumb, also of German an- cestry, and their children were John, Bernhart,

John Mann, their son, was born March 7, 1774, on the paternal land, where his life was devoted to farming. He married Elizabeth, daughter of George Snyder, of East Donegal, Lancaster county, who was born Oct. 8, 1780, and died March 25, 1870. Their children were: Bernhart S., Jacob, Margaretta, Marie, Elizabeth, Sophia, Catharine, Barbara Sarah, John S. and George. Mr. Mann during his lifetime espoused the tenets of the Lutheran belief. He died Dec. 3, 1843.

Their son, Bernhart S. Mann, was born Aug. 20, 1803. On March 8. 1827, he married Miss Anna Wertz, who was born Dec. 23, 1805. To them the following children were born: John W., Henry W., Elizabeth B., Mary Ann, Margaret S., Anna M., Simon B., and Caroline C. Mr. Mann's death occurred April 15, 1880, and that of his wife Jan. 12, 1881.

Their son, Henry W. Mann, the father of the subject of this sketch, was born June 14. 1829, on a farm adjoining the old homestead. He married Anna Charles Seitz, Nov. 19, 1856. Their lives were devoted to farming. To them were born eight sons, Amos, Jacob, Eli, George, Henry, Enos S., Simon and Hi- ram.

On the maternal side the Doctor is the great-great-grandson of Jacob Seitz, who came to America from the Palatinate (Rhenish Ba- varia), Germany. in 1764, and who settled in Manor township, Lancaster county. Mr. Seitz married Elizabeth Witmer. daughter of Michael Witmer, who came from Germany in 1732 and settled in Manor township. To them were born eleven children. John, Henry. Michael. Jacob. Abraham. Veronica, Barbara. Catharine. Magdalena. Anna and Elizabeth. Veronica lived to within a few weeks of 104 years. John married Annie Garber. His death occurred in 1847 and his wife's in 1862. in her ninetieth year. Their son, Jacob G. Seitz, was born in Manor township Jan. 25. 1813. He married Babara Charles April 13. 1832. and to this union were born nine children: Anna C. (the Doctor's mother, born May 27. 1833). John C., Jacob C., Charles C., Barbara C.,

The Doctor early became inured to the strenuous labor involved in the work of the home farm, located near Washington borough, and in the local public school he secured nis preliminary educational training, his ambition to secure a liberal discipline in that line having been quickened while he was still a boy, so that he made good use of such opportunities as were afforded him. After leaving the public schools he continued his studies for two years in the First State Normal School at Millersville, where he fortified himself for successful peda- gogic work, having been thereafter engaged in teaching in the public schools of his native county until 1887. In that year he secured a clerical position in the Columbia National Bank at Columbia, that county, where he was em- ployed until 1890, when he accepted a similar position in the Lancaster County National Bank, in the city of Lancaster, retaining this incumbency two years. In the meanwhile he had determined to prepare himself for the medical profession, and with this end in view he took up the study of medicine under the pre- ceptorship of the late Dr. M. L. Herr, of Lan- caster, and at the same time was enabled to se- cure private instruction of a technical order in Franklin and Marshall College, in that city. In the autumn of 1892, he was matriculated in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, where he com- pleted the prescribed course and was graduated as a member of the class of 1895, receiving his well-earned degree of Doctor of Medicine. To further fortify himself for the active labors and responsibilities of his chosen profession the Doctor passed a few months in the city dis- pensary and maternity department of the city of Philadelphia, under Dr. Joseph Price.

Dr. Mann initiated the active practice of his profession by locating in Columbia, Lan- caster county, where he remained until April, 1896, when he came to York county, and took up his residence in Dallastown, where he has since been established in practice, having gained a representative support and secured recogni- tion as one of the thoroughly skilled physi- cians and surgeons of the county, while he holds the high regard of his professional con- freres and of the people of the community in which he has so earnestly and effectively la-

Lancaster County Medical Society. He trans- ferred his membership to the York County Medical Society soon after his removal to Dallastown, and was its president during 1906, while he is also identified with the Pennsylva- nia State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. He is also a member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Co- lumbia, Pa. He is a close and appreciative student of his profession, and through the care- ful utilization of the best standard and peri- odical literature pertaining to medical and sur- gical science he keeps in touch with the ad- vances made in each branch, while he is speci- ally fortunate in his ability of properly apply- ing his knowledge in the active work of his practice. In his political proclivities the Doc- tor is a Democrat, and in a fraternal way he is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Order of Independent Americans at Dallastown, and with the organization of the Knights of the Mystic Chain at Yoe, this coun- ty. Both he and his wife are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church at Dallastown.
