   C. H. WONSIDLER deceased, Trumbauersville, 
ex-representative of Bucks county, Pa., was the son of 
George and Elizabeth (Weidner) Wonsidler, and was born in 
Richland township in 1838, being the youngest of six 
children.  He was reared on a farm and received a 
common-school education.  For many years he was engaged in 
teaching.  In 1867 he was elected assessor of Milford 
township, and was re-elected repeatedly until 1880, when his 
party (democratic), recognizing in him a worthy man and 
upright citizen, nominated and elected him representative, 
and re-elected him at the expiration of his first term.  He 
married Sophia, daughter of Franklin and Catherine Demmer, 
of Montgomery county.  They had eight children:  Emma, 
Charles H. (deceased), Amanda, Carrie, Lizzie, Oliver 
Franklin, Robert and Annie, who make their home with their 
widowed mother.  Mr. Wonsidler was for many years an active 
democrat.  In whatever capacity he served his constituents, 
it was with that faithfulness to further their interests 
which was his marked characteristic.  He died October 24, 
1886, and his faithful wife and children continue to mourn 
the loss of an affectionate husband and kind father.
