AARON M. RICKERT farmer, P.O. Dublin, is a grandson of 
Daniel Rickert, who came from Hilltown in 1836, and bought 
the place now owned by the subject of this sketch.  About 
ten years later he removed to the farm across the road, 
which is now owned by his son Isaac.  He died March 7, 1869. 
 His wife was Elizabeth Kulp, who died several years before 
him.  They had three sons, namely:  Isaac and Jacob (dealer 
in coal, lumber, fee, etc., in Weissport, Carbon county, 
Pa.), and Daniel K., who is now living on a farm adjacent.  
Daniel K., is the father of Aaron M., and was born September 
15, 1825.  He was married in 1850 to Hannah, daughter of 
John O. Moyer.  She was born in May, 1826.  Mr. Rickert is a 
member of the Second Deep Run Mennonite church, of which he 
is also a trustee.  Their children were: Eliza, Lydia Ann, 
Sophia, and Susanna, deceased; and Katie, wife of William K. 
Powell, of Danborough, this county; and Aaron M., who was 
born in 1852, and has lived on the place of his birth all 
his life.  On his marriage his father rented the homestead 
to him, and removed to his present home.  In 1872 Aaron M. 
was married to Catherine L. Sell, of Milford township, who 
was born in 1851.  Their children are:  Lillie Jane, Hannah 
Louisa, Daniel S., Barbara Ellen, Peter, Menno, and Katie 
May.  Mr. Rickert is a man of high character and good 
standing.  Like his ancestors he is a Mennonite, and is a 
deacon of the  Second Deep Run church.  Isaac Rickert was 
married to Anna Stauffer, of Milford township.  They had 
five children:  Sarah, deceased; Anna, Lizzie, Daniel, and 
Amanda, who are still living with their parents, and are 
members of the Second Deep Run Mennonite church.  Jacob 
Rickert has two sons:  Hiram and Daniel, who are assisting 
him in his business.  He is a man of good standing, and a 
member of the Evangelical church.
