SAMUEL H. TAUGHINBAUGH, farmer and stock-raiser, P. O. New Chester, was born in 
Reading Township, this county, June 12, 1838, a son of John L. and Barbara 
(Shank) Taughinbaugh, natives of this county, of German origin.  John L. was a 
saddler, a trade he followed successfully through life.  Samuel H., the eldest 
of the family, was reared on the farm, attended the common schools and also 
Cumberland Valley Institute, and taught school for two winters, but has made 
farming his principal occupation, in which he has met with success.  He is the 
owner of 270 acres of well improved land-the farm where he resides, near New 
Chester, consisting of 180 acres.  He married, in 1861, Sarah E., daughter of 
Samuel Deardorff, a farmer of German descent.  Their children are Christian D., 
Anna C., William A., Samuel Emory, Charles G., Jacob Harvey, Sarah Ida and Alice 
May.  Mr. and Mrs. Taughinbaugh are members of the Lutheran Church.  In politics 
he is a Democrat.
