    H. N. BREAM, school director of South Middleton township, Cumberland
  county, and a well known and successful farmer of that locality, was born
  Nov. 29, 1854, in Adams county, Pa., son of Adam and Annie Bream.
    
    Adam Bream was born in Adams county. His brothers and sisters were: Andrew,
  Jacob, Rebecca, Catherine, John P., Jeremiah and Priscilla, all of whom
  married and settled in Adams county. Adam Bream attended the public schools
  of his locality, after which he worked for his father upon the farm until his
  marriage. He then bought a farm adjoining that of his father, and remained
  upon it until his death in 1900, at the age of seventy-four years. He married
  Annie Deatrich, daughter of Nicholas and Margaret (Miller) Deatrich, and the
  following children were born to them: Joseph W. married Annie O. Group,
  daughter of Jesse and Maria Group, and had children, Carrie, Jessie A., Annie
  M., John P., Grace and Laura; Sybella married Abraham Trostle, son of Jacob
  Trostle, and has children, Zora, Harry, Eva and Earl; H. N.; Benjamin F.
  married Annie M. Spangler, daughter of John and Susan Spangler, and has one
  child, Hattie M.; Annie M. married William Asper, son of Jonas Asper, and has
  four children, Irvin, Mamie, Harry and Stella; Sarah C. married Michael
  Bowers, son of Amos Bowers, and has six children, Zora, Zula, Reynolds,
  Parvin, Linnie and Harry; Adam R. married Annie Fissel, daughter of Emanuel
  Fissel, and has three children, Elsie, Ernest and Mabel; Hannah S. married
  Jacob Rex, son of George Rex, and has one child, Guy; Alice E. married Fred
  Wenk, and has three children, Herman, Guy and John.
    
    H. N. Bream attended the Adams county public schools until he was nineteen,
  and at that age he began working upon his father's farm. He continued to farm
  in Adams county for seven years after his marriage, and then removed to
  Cumberland county, settling in South Middleton township, about one-half a
  mile from the Adams county line, buying the old Miller farm of ninety-three
  acres. He has greatly improved this property, and is recognized as one of the
  leading farmers of this locality, having achieved his success through hard
  work and great thrift. He is honorable, upright and highly respected, his
  word being as good as his bond any day. In 1902 he was honored by election to
  the office of school trustee, which he still holds.
    
    In 1876 Mr. Bream married Harriet A. Bream, daughter of George and Hannah
    
    470  CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
    
  Bream, and the children born to this marriage are: Hannah A., who married
  Ernest Trostle, son of Joseph and Caroline Trosle; Adam F., at home working
  on the farm; and Florence, attending school. This family are members of the
  Lutheran Church, and are respected wherever known.
