  and was engaged in farming in the township of his birth until his death, in

    Daniel Raudabaugh was born Jan. 8, 1846, in Frankford township, Cumberland

  farm. In 1868 he married Mary Yarlets, daughter of Jonas Yarlets, and for ten
  years farmed in Frankford township, at the expiration of that time going to
  Virginia, where he remained seven years, successfully engaged in farming.
  However, his heart longed for his native county, and he returned to Frankford
  township, living there until 1891, when he removed to South Middleton
  township. In 1899 he purchased a farm of 136 acres about a mile southwest of
  Carlisle, where he is now living, being a prosperous, ambitious farmer,
  public-spirited, and a man highly esteemed by all who know him. He is a
  Republican politically, and though not an office seeker has served as
  supervisor.
