General Notes: Husband - Hopnia Sampsel

---

He was born in Ohio and was an infant when his parents located near Centreville, Snyder County, Pennsylvania, and he was reared there, his youth being mainly spent in assisting his father, leaving but little time for school. At twenty-one years of age, he went to Ohio and spent two years, being employed during most of the time in a gristmill at Bellevue. On returning to Pennsylvania he worked at the miller's trade in Lancaster county for a time, but later rented his father's mill, which he afterward bought and operated for more than fifty-two years. In 1885 he rented the property to others, and he resided at Centreville. In his late 70s he was exceedingly well-preserved, his memory being excellent. He was a Republican in politics and a regular voter, but never sought office. In early life he was a Whig, and his first Presidential vote was cast for William H. Harrison.
