DEITRICK HILDEBRAND, second of four children of Casper and Susanna (Ness) Hildebrand, was born 
November 10, 1831, in Loganville, Springfield Township.  He was reared on his father’s farm, 
and went to this trade (shoe-making) when fifteen years old, and has always followed this 
occupation; has been justice of the peace seventeen years.  April 8, 1858, Mr. Hildebrand 
married Anna Maria Leader, daughter of Charles and Sarah (Hildebrand) Leader, of Springfield 
Township.  Three children have blessed this union:  Charles G., Annie and Robert.  Our 
subject’s grandfather was Casper Hildebrand.  His grand-mothers maiden name was Cranmer, and it 
is worthy of mention about this family that the seven boys and two girls all attained the ripe 
old age of eighty years.  The father of our subject died in his eighty-sixth year.  The subject 
of this sketch is a well known and highly respected citizen, and always active in any movement 
that has for its object the welfare of his township and fellow-citizens.
