JACOB D. MITTMAN farmer, P.O. Tohickon, is a grandson of 
Conrad Mittman, who owned and died on the place where Jacob 
D. now lives, and which has been in the family name for 150 
years.  His son, Jacob, was father of our subject.  He was 
born on this farm in 1800, lived here all his life, and died 
in 1872 in his 73rd year.  He was a man of good repute, and 
a member of the Tohickon Reformed church.  His wife, 
Susannah, daughter of Michael Deaterly, of this township, 
died more than thirty years ago.  Their children were:  
Lydia Ann and Eliza, deceased; Tobias, who lives in 
Quakertown; Levi and Noah, in Bethlehem; Susannah, wife of 
William Hartman, in Haycock; and Jacob D., who was born 
September 30, 1838, on the place where he now lives.  He 
worked as a mason for four years, when he began farming on a 
place in this township where he stayed eleven years, when he 
inherited the home farm where he has since lived.  He has 
been twice married, his first wife being Sarah Deaterly, who 
was born December 26, 1834, and died March 27, 1865, leaving 
one child, Livy, who was born August 8, 1864, and is the 
wife of Milton H. Snyder, of Hilltown. February 2, 1867, Mr. 
Mittman was married to Sarah, daughter of George King, of 
Tinicum.  She was born March 25, 1835.  To their union five 
children were born:  Anna Margaret, Abby, Reuben K., and 
Erwin, who live with their parents; and Oscar, who died 
young.  Mr. Mittman is a man of excellent reputation, and is 
a member of the Tohickon Reformed church.  His wife belongs 
to the Keller Lutheran church.
