HARRY FELTY, farmer, P. O. Red Land, was born September 1, 1863, on the old 
homestead which his grandfather, Harry Felty, got from his father-in-law, John 
Young, one of the earliest settlers in this county.  Harry Felty, Sr., was born 
and raised in Hanover, Penn., where his parents, who came from Germany, died.  
He died on the home farm, aged eighty-four years; and his wife Sally (Young) 
died there, aged forty-four years.  They were parents of four children:  Mrs. 
Catharine Geiselman, Mrs. Rebecca Young, Mrs. Anna M. Faver and Harry.  Harry 
Felty, Sr. married, on second occasion, to Miss Schwartz.  Of his children, John 
H. married Sarah, daughter of John Spangler, and she bore him four children:  
George W., Mrs. Jane Rife, Emma and Harry.  Our subject was educated at the 
Union Schoolhouse, has been an agriculturist, all his life, and is now farming 
on the old homestead.  He was married, August 28, 1884, at Gettysburg, Penn., to 
Miss Sally, daughter of Edward Stambaugh, by whom he has one son, Mark H., born 
July 17, 1885.  Mr. Felty is a member of the Reformed Church and Mrs. Felty of 
the Lutheran denomination.  Politically our subject is a Republican, as was also 
his father.
