    SAMUEL HERTZLER, former proprietor of the "Franklin House," Carlisle, was
  born March 3, 1848, on the old homestead one and one-half miles east of that
  city, and there he spent his boyhood, receiving his education in the public
  schools, and remaining with his father until his marriage.
    
    In 1873 Mr. Hertzler was united to the eldest daughter of Jacob and Mary
  Ann (Spangler) Hallinger, who was born in 1851 in South Middleton township.
  After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Hertzler located on a farm near the Ridge,
  four miles east of Carlisle, remaining there two years, and then went west of
  Carlisle, on George Bosler's farm, where they lived for seventeen years, when
  Mr. Hertzler accepted the position of steward of the county home. He held
  that position for three years, resigning

  to come to Carlisle and take charge of the "Franklin House," in 1897, from
  which time until Sept. 1, 1904, he most successfully conducted it. Mr.
  Hertzler is a public-spirited man, and is one of the stockholders and
  promoters of the Mechanicsburg, Lewisberry and New Cumberland Street Railroad
  Company. In addition to other holdings he owns his father's homestead in
  Carlisle, on South Hanover street. He has always been one of the warm
  supporters of the Republican party.
      
      Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Hertzler, namely: Richard
  died in infancy; Frank H., a graduate from Dickinson College, class of 1898,
  is now in Philadelphia with the American Newspaper Association in the
  Lippincott building; Adin L., a graduate of Carlisle high school and a school
  of photography at Effingham, Ill., is now a popular photographer on East Main
  street, Carlisle, Pa.; Jacob O., a former student in Carlisle, at Dickinson
  College, class of 1903, is now a law student at Morgantown (W. Va.)
  University. Mrs. Hertzler is a member of the Methodist Church of Carlisle,
  and is a most highly esteemed lady. Mr. Hertzler stands very high in public
  esteem and is a man whose cordial, genial manner makes friends for him
  wherever he goes, so that his pleasant hostelry, once visited, was never
  forgotten.
