DR. EDWARD STERNER, son of Jesse and Leah (Dagen) Sterner, was born June 15, 1855, in Codorus 
Township.  The Doctor is the eldest child in a family of eight children.  In 1875 Dr. Sterner 
married Lydia Spangler, daughter of Bernard and Susan (Asper) Spangler, of Jackson Township.  
Five children have been born of this marriage:  Maggie G., Flora (deceased), Joseph F., Edward 
M. and Charles Austin.  Dr. Sterner was reared on a farm.  After receiving a common school 
education he began to read medicine with Drs. Jones and Evans.  The Doctor began the practice 
of medicine in Jefferson, in 1880; and, although a young physician, has met with flattering 
success.
