York, son of the late Rev. C. J. and Maria (Treat) Deininger.  He was born at 
East Berlin, Adams County, August 24, 1847, and (with the exception of about six 
years of his boyhood, when he lived in the place of his birth and in Indiana 
County, Penn.) has always been a resident of York.  His father and grandfather, 
both deceased, were well-known Lutheran clergymen, having been residents of York 
and Adams Counties, Penn., for more than fifty years.  Mr. Deininger was 
educated at the public schools of York, the York County Academy, and the 
Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg.  In 1867 he engaged in the book and 
stationery business, which he still continues.  He was married, October 20, 
1870, to Laura C. Small, daughter of William Small, an old and much respected 
citizen of the Fourth Ward, York, lately deceased.  To this marriage have been 
born two children:  Ella T. And Horace S.  In 1879 Mr. Deininger became 
president of the "Vigilant Steam Fire Engine Company."  He was made a Mason in 
1872, and is a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church.
