SAMUEL
T. VANNATTA, Miller township, farmer, was born in Warren
county, New Jersey, September 14, 1835. He is the son of
Peter and Sarah J. Vannatta, nee Weller,
who were natives of New Jersey. Mr. Vannatta died
in New Jersey in 1836. They ha two children, one of whom
died in infancy, and the subject of this sketch.
Mrs. Vannatta remained in New Jersey until 1840,
when she came to Miller township with her father, Philip P.
Weller; she and her son Samuel remained with her
father until he was about twenty-four years of age, when they
purchased a tract of ninety-two acres of land, and moved upon
it. Mr. Vannatta, is now one of the leading farmers
of the township, owning over three hundred acres of good land.
He is systematic in his management, and his farm shows more than
usual care. He was elected land appraiser of the township
in 1879, and has filled a number of offices to the satisfaction
of the people. He is a man of good judgment and considered
a wise counsellor. His educational advantages were very
limited; he, however, obtained a sufficient knowledge of the
common branches to enable him to conduct his business. He
married Miss Levina Hawkins, January 29, 1864, daughter
of Isaac Hawkins, of whom mention is made elsewhere.
They have three interesting children, viz: Frank A.,
Charles O., and Flora Emeline. |
