MARTIN B. SPRENKLE was born January 29, 1861, in West Manchester Township, and has been a 
resident of his native township all his life.  He received a common school education and began 
business for himself at Baer’s Station, on the Frederick division of the Pennsylvania Railroad 
when quite a young man, and is probably the largest buyer of what in West Manchester Township.  
January 16, 1880, Mr. Sprenkle married Sallie E. Martin, daughter of Solomon Martin, of 
Stoverstown, North Codorus Township.  Two children have blessed this union:  Sadie E. 
(deceased), and Charlee M.  Mr. Sprenkle pays close attention to his business, and as a result 
of this his business is increasing every year.
