removed with his parents to Boiling Springs, in South Middleton township, of the same county, where he remained until eighteen years of age. He attended the schools of the neighborhood, and completed his English courseat the Mt. Joy Academy, meanwhile rendering his father sub- stantial assistance on the farm. He also engaged during the winter months in teaching, and at the age of eighteen began the study of medicine with Dr. A. J. Herman, of Carlisle, Pa., with whom he remained three years, during this time attending lectures at the Medical Depart- ment of the University of Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated in March, 1861, after enjoying the advantage of special practical courses of instruction in obstetrics under Dr. R. A. F. Penrose, and in surgery under Dr. D. Hayes Agnew. After an interval of one year with Dr. Herman, at Carlisle, he located at New Bloomfield, Perry County, where he has since been very actively engaged in the pursuit of his profession. His practice, which extends through- out his own and into adjoining counties, has been varied and exceptionally successful, espe- cially in critical cases of surgery, in obstetrics and in the treatment of typhoid fever. This success is based not less upou a thorough knowledge of the science of medicine than upon a wide exper- ience with disease in all its forms. The doctor is a member of the Perry County Medical So- ciety, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. He is also identified with the Masonic fraternity. He is in his political sentiments a Republican, though not an active partisan ; neither has he sought or desired office. His religions associa- tions are with the Presbyterian Church, of which Mrs. Strickler is a devoted and esteemed member.

25th day of September, 1809, in Sunbury, Northumberland County, Pa., and began the study of medicine, after a preparatory English and classical course, in the office of Dr. Baskin, of Seliusgrove, graduating from the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. His career as a practitioner was begun and ended in Newport, where he settled in 1838, and continued actively employed until a few years before his death, which occurred ou the 16th of February, 1881, in his seventy-second year. His professional labors were entered upon amid many discour- agements, but by dint of enterprise, energy and much hard work, together with a complete mastery of the seience to which his life was devoted, he achieved success and a competency for his declining years. During his younger days he enjoyed the lucrative practice of a num- ber of families connected with the several furnaces in the vicinity, with whom he had yearly contracts. He endured many privations, but was greatly aided by a strong constitution and indomitable will-power, which enabled him to surmount almost every obstacle. Dr. Singer was a man of much publie spirit, always extend- ing hearty sympathy and practical aid to euter- prises having for their object the advancement of the borough of his residence. From a small hamlet, Newport, under his eye and in a meas- ure through his energy and persevering labor, has grown to its present proportions. At the organization of the Farmers' Bank of Millers- town he became a prominent stockholder, and in course of time succeeded in establishing a branch at Newport, of which he was the hon- pred president until his death, the enterprise eventually becoming the People's Bank of New- port. In his political views he was a Democrat and a strong partisan, but not an active worker in the party ranks. He was identified with the Masonie and Odd-Fellows' fraternities, in both of which he took high rank. Dr. Singer was an active member and elder in the Reformed Church of Newport. Through his influence were gathered a number of young men and women, who formed themselves into a Bible class and were regularly instructed by him in religious truth. This class, on his death, passed a series of resolutions commemorative of his 59
work and the strong affection and sympathy existing between scholar and teacher. Similar resolutions were adopted by the Consistory of the church, the directors of the People's Bank of Newport and by the Perry County Medical Society, of which he was one of the founders. Dr. Singer was, on the 15th of October, 1849, married to Mary E., daughter of John E. Whiteside and Ruth E. Allen, of Harrisburg, and granddaughter of John Whiteside and Mary Elton, of Lancaster, Pa.
