  ISAAC D. STEINER, farmer, P. O. Plainfield, was born July 26, 1845, 
in Upper Allen Township, this county, son of Dietrich and Mary 
(Kaufman) Steiner, natives of York County, Penn., who located in Upper 
Allen Township, this county, about 1830, and here resided until their 
death, Mr. Steiner dying in 1863, and his widow in 1864; they reared 
seven of their eleven children.  Our subject, the next to the youngest, 
was brought up on his father's farm and attended the schools of the 
home district.  He followed lumbering six years in Cameron, Elk and

Returning to Cumberland County, he married, December 28, 1875, Miss 
Rebecca Jane Waggoner, of North Middleton Township, this county, 
daughter of the well-known Jacob Waggoner.  Since their marriage Mr. 
and Mrs. Steiner have resided in Middlesex Township six years and in 
West Pennsborough Township eight years.  Their children are Anna Mary, 
Robert W. and Clara Blanche.  Mr. Steiner is a Republican in politics 
and takes a deep interest in public affairs.  He has served his 
township in various offices of trust.
