HENRY H. KREIDER

Henry H. Kreider, son of David Kreider and Sarah Henry, was born Sept. 30, 1835, at the old homestead in South Annville township, Lebanon Co., Pa. His early advantages of education were such as the public schools afforded, supplemented by a full course at the Annville Academy. Five years were subsequently spent in teaching. He then embarked in mercantile pursuits, which he continued for a period of six years, when he commenced operating extensively in grain and coal, and also became interested in milling enterprises. He was one of the incorporators of the United Brethren Mutual Aid Society, and of which he is now treasurer. Since the organization of the Lebanon Valley College, at Annville, he has been one of its trustees and its treasurer. He has served as county auditor, and in 1876 was elected prothonotary of Lebanon County. Mr. Kreider married, in 1859, Mary Hoverter, daughter of Christian Hoverter, of Annville, and their children surviving are Morris D., William H., and Mary E.
