AMBROSE H. SEIFFERT, general accountant for the firm of Baugher, Kurtz & 
Stewart, was born in Dover, Township, York County, December 1, 1838, and is the 
second in a family of seven children born to John and Elizabeth (Henise) 
Seiffert, of German descent.  The parents of Mr. Seiffert were born in Dover 
Township, where they now reside.  His maternal grandfather was John Seiffert, a 
native of Pennsylvania, but in 1833 he moved to Ohio, where he died.  The 
boyhood of our subject was spent on the farm.  He was educated at the public 
schools of Dover Township and York County Academy.  In 1857 he began teaching 
school, at which he continued until 1872, when he accepted his present position.  
He was married in 1865 to Miss Mary A. Daron, a native of Manchester Township, 
born June 9, 1845, and daughter of George and Lydia Daron.  They have four 
children, viz.:  John H., George R., Franklin M. and Maggie M.  Mr. Seiffert is

represent the Fifth Ward in the borough council, and re-elected in 1885, and

ensuing year.  Mr. and Mrs. Seiffert are members of the German Reformed Church.
