Joseph EBAUGH.

Joseph Ebaugh, who throughout his active career has devoted his attention 
exclusively to the cultivation of the soil, in which occupation he has achieved 
well-merited success, is a native of Summit township, Somerset county, 
Pennsylvania, born November 12, 1865.  He is a son of Roman and Mary (Albright) 
Ebaugh, the former of whom was born in Baden, Germany, March 1, 1826, followed 
the occupation of farming, was a Catholic in religion, a Democrat in politics 
and died September 22, 1866, aged forty years, and the latter was born March 4, 
1840, in Greenville township, Somerset county, Pennsylvania.
Joseph Ebaugh obtained an education in the public schools adjacent to his home, 
and upon taking up the practical duties of life followed in the footsteps of his 
father, who was one of the successful farmers of that section.  By following the 
most progressive methods of agriculture and by the use of the improved machinery 
now in vogue, Mr. Ebaugh's farm yields large returns and enables him to gain a 
comfortable livelihood.  He is a member of the German Baptist church, and a man 
of influence in the community in which he resides.  He married, March 10, 1889, 
in Summit township, Mary Susan Saylor, daughter of William and Catharine 
(Phillipie) Saylor, the former of whom is a farmer.  Mr. and Mrs. Ebaugh are the 
parents of one child, William Robert, born January 13, 1890, in Summit township, 
Somerset county, Pennsylvania.
