    SAMUEL E. BRENNEMAN was born on his father's farm in Middlesex township
  Nov. 4, 1848, and since attaining manhood has continued to make that locality
  his home.
    
    His father, Isaac Brenneman, was born in Lancaster county, about 1820, and
  was a farmer during his earlier life, but the last twenty years of his life
  lived retired in Carlisle, though he always retained some business interests,
  and was a director in the Farmers' Bank at Carlisle. In his politics he was
  first a Whig and then a Republican, after the foundation of the latter party.
  His death occurred in 1895.
    
    Samuel E. Brenneman was reared on his father's farm, and was educated in
  the country schools. When he grew up he adopted the occupation of truck
  farming, and settled on the place of eighteen acres on which he still lives.
  He was married in 1876 to Miss Emma Heagy, who was born in the village of
  Middlesex, July 20, 1855. They have had five

  Heagy, was a farmer and carpenter by occupation and he died Dec. 1, 1898. The
  mother was born in Carlisle, Jan. 25, 1821, and died Sept. 12, 1877. Of their
  six children, Mrs. Brenneman was the youngest.
