JOHN BEWIGHOUSE farmer, P.O. Bedminster, is a younger son of 
Christian, and was born October 15, 1827, in the house where 
he now lives and which he has never left.  His whole life 
has been spent as a farmer, and he is a creditable 
representative of the sturdy, honest farmers who have given 
Bucks county an enviable reputation among the counties of 
the state.  Mr. Bewighouse's life has been an open book that 
all who know him may read, and he possesses the utmost 
confidence of his neighbors.  May 8, 1858, he was married to 
Sarah Kratz, of Plumstead township.  They have had seven 
children, of whom three are deceased, viz: Christiana, 
Christian, and an unnamed infant.  Those living are:  Sarah 
Ann, Esther, J. Geary, and Ella, living with their parents.  
Mr. and Mrs. Bewighouse, and three of their children are 
members of the Second Deep Run Mennonite church.
