General Notes: Husband - Samuel Schwartz

---

He was educated in Adams County, Pennsylvania, and was a successful farmer, owning the old family homestead, which he beautified and improved.
He became discouraged with farming after the death of his son, and in August, 1881, moved to Hanover, Pennsylvania. He was very successful financially; was a director of the Littlestown Bank fourteen years, and director of the Hanover Branch Railroad three years, of which he was also a stockholder. He was also interested in the ore business, in company with S. Boyer, near Littlestown. He was a member of the Reformed Church, and materially assisted in the building of three churches, especially of the one in Hanover. Politically he was a Democrat, and filled all the important offices in Conowago Township, Adams County.
