     352	CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
    
    WILLIAM H. CARBAUGH, owner of the "United States Hotel" at Mt. Holly
  Springs, Cumberland county, has been the genial proprietor of this favorite
  hotel for the past ten years, and conducted it himself until the spring of
  1903, when he retired. His birth occurred near Waynesboro, in Franklin
  county, July 26, 1845, and he is a son of Jacob and Sarah Ann (Kuntz)
  Carbaugh, both now deceased. George Carbaugh, the grandfather, came from
  Germany when a boy, and lived to be forty-eight, dying in 1850.
    
    Jacob Carbaugh, the father, died in Franklin county when fifty-two years of
  age, and his wife at Mt. Holly Springs, at the home of her son, when she was
  seventy-two years old. Both were born in Pennsylvania. Like his father, he
  was a farmer of Franklin county. He was a public-spirited man, and took a
  deep interest in the work of the Republican party, holding the position of
  school trustee for a number of years, and also acted as supervisor. He was a
  director of the Bank of Waynesboro, and settled many estates. He always stood
  ready to assist in doing good. In all of his operations he prospered greatly,
  and he retained the confidence of the community to the day of his death. The
  family born to himself and wife was as follows: William H.; George W., a
  resident of Niles, Kans.; Alice, deceased, who married Harry Leckram; Jacob
  S., a resident of Dixon, Ill.; Theodore, deceased; and Howard, deceased.
    
    William H. Carbaugh was reared upon the farm, and educated in the public
  schools. When he reached manhood's estate he began farming in Franklin
  county, and thus continued for five years, after which he engaged in stock
  buying for twelve years. He then embarked in the hotel business, his first
  hostelry being located at Greencastle, where he, conducted the "Antrim House"
  for three years. He then removed to Mt. Holly Springs and conducted the "Holly
  Inn" for three years, when he purchased the "United States Hotel," at the same
  place, and still owns the property, which is now leased. He is now again
  engaged in the stock business, and is very successful.
    
    Mr. Carbaugh has been a public benefactor of Mt. Holly Springs, having done
  much to improve and advance the best interests of that place. In 1900 he
  erected his magnificent residence at the corner of Baltimore avenue and Pine
  street, which is the finest house in the borough. It is of brick, and
  adjoining his hotel property. Mr. Carbaugh served for three years as a member
  of the borough council, and is justly recognized as one of the leading men of
  Mt. Holly Springs.
    
    On June 7, 1866, Mr. Carbaugh was united in marriage with Miss Anna A.
  Morgal, who was born in Franklin county, daughter of Philip Morgal, and six
  children have come to this marriage: Minnie married F. L. Shannon, of Mt.
  Holly Springs, and has one child, Charles; Laura married W. H. Butler, of Mt.
  Holly Springs, and has four children, Harry, Robert, Marie and Maud; Alice,
  Ruth and Rose are unmarried; Walter, the third child, is deceased.
    
    Mr. Carbaugh was reared in the Reformed Church, while his wife was brought
  up in the Mennonite faith. They are among the leading people of Mt. Holly
  Springs, and have hosts of friends throughout the State. Mrs. Carbaugh's
  father, Philip Morgal, was born in Germany, and came to this country when a
  boy, becoming a farmer in Franklin county. He married a Miss Leah Lehr, of
  Lancaster county, Pennsylvania.
