    ALFRED A. AUGHINBAUGH, president of the People's National Bank of
  Shippensburg, and largely interested in valuable real estate in that city.,
  is a representative business man of his section of Pennsylvania. He was born
  Aug. 27, 1855, in Roxbury, Franklin Co., Pa., and is a son of William M. and
  Mary Jane (Taylor) Aughinbaugh, the former of whom was born in Wayne county;
  Pa., June 31, 1831.
    
    Mr. Aughinbaugh received his literary education in the public schools,
  attending until his thirteenth year, when he entered the store of Danner &
  Neely, merchants at Shippensburg, with whom he remained some time. Later he
  entered the employ of William S. Montgomery, and he was subsequently with J.
  & J. B. Reddig & Sons, with whom he remained several years. From Shippensburg
  he went to Pittsburg, where for fifteen years he was in the departmentstore of
  Joseph Horne & Co., acquiring a thorough knowledge of business methods and an
  excellent commercial training. His next connection was with J. D. Berna &
  Co., of Pittsburg, with whom he remained seven years as a partner. Disposing
  of his interest he returned to Shippensburg, where he has been identified
  with business interests ever since. In June, 1903, with others, Mr.
  Aughinbaugh organized the People's National Bank of Shippensburg, with a
  capital stock of $100,000, Mr. Aughinbaugh being president of this
  institution; George H. Himes, vice-president; and Howard A. Ryder, cashier.
  There is a substantial corps of directors. The banking room is fitted with
  attractive fixtures and there is a substantial vault, of modern construction.
  Besides his interest in this concern Mr. Aughinbaugh has valuable real estate
  holdings in Shippensburg, and he is accounted one of the solid business men
  and financiers of that place, his reputation, either as a business man or as
  a citizen, being unassailable.
    
    In 1888 Mr. Aughinbaugh was married to Miss Lillie Kunkel, a daughter of
  Samuel and Rachel (Bomberger) Kunkel, the former of whom was for many years a
  merchant in Shippensburg. Mr. and Mrs. Aughinbaugh occupy an elegant home on
  West Main street. They are members of the Lutheran Church, to the support of
  which they are liberal contributors. In 1901 Mr. and Mrs. Aughinbaugh went
  abroad, and remained a year, visiting London, Paris, Berlin, Naples and other
  places of interest.
