L. F. HILDEBRAND, merchant and postmaster, Loganville, was born in Springfield Township in 
1848, and is the son of Isaac and Elizabeth (Feigley) Hildebrand.  The father was a farmer as 
well as merchant, and died in September, 1880; the mother is still living, and of the three 
children born to those parents our subject alone survives.  He assisted his father on the farm 
until sixteen years old, and then in the store until he succeeded him in business.  About 1870 
he was appointed postmaster, and he has also served as school director.  In 1875 he married 
Miss Lizzie Gontner of Lancaster County, and to this union have been born three children:  
Jennie May, Daniel W. and Mary D.
