   ENOS HALDEMAN farmer, P.O. New Britain, is of German 
extraction, his grandfather being John Haldeman, who lived 
on the place now occupied by Henry Haldeman.  He died there 
about seventy years ago.  His wife, Mary, survived him 
several years.  They had five sons:  Joseph, John, Jacob, 
Abraham and Christian; and four daughters:  Susan, Mary, 
Elizabeth and Margaret, all now deceased.  John, the father 
of Enos, was born in 1782, and died in 1834.  At his 
marriage he removed to a farm which he bought from his 
father, near the old home, where he lived until his death.  
He was highly respected, and was supervisor of this township 
for fourteen years in succession, and after a short 
interval, for several years more. His wife was Catherine 
Buzzard, of Hilltown township, this county, whose father was 
a noted gunsmith.  She was born in 1785, and died in August, 
1868.  They had seven daughters:  Sarah, Eliza, Ann, Rachel, 
Mary, Catherine and Priscilla.  They had but one son, Enos, 
who was born January 22, 1811, and lived at home until his 
father died.  In 1867 he bought part of the original farm, 
which was then owned by his uncle Abraham.  On March 28, 
1844, he married Eliza, daughter of Henry Kohlbain, of this 
township.  She was born January 1, 1819.  To their union 
thirteen children were born.  Five of them died young, and 
one son, Henry H., died October 21, 1871, when 21 years old. 
 The survivors are Catherine, wife of Fenton Kephart, of 
Doylestown township; Elmira, wife of Charles B. Smith, now 
in Duluth, Minn.; Harvey, married to Angerine Terry, and 
living in New Britain township; Deborah, wife of John R. 
Rowland, in Doylestown township; John T., married to Hannah 
Fry, and living in Doylestown township; Annie, wife of Eli 
Haldeman, in Doylestown borough; and Wilhelmina, wife of 
Joseph G. Hart, who, with her family, lives with her 
parents.  Mr. Haldeman and his wife are members of the 
Baptist church, in New Britain, and have all of their lives 
been very industrious people, who have brought up a numerous 
family, now all happily settled, and they have the esteem of 
all who know them.
