"This society owes its commencement to Jacob ALBRIGHT, who began to
form societies about 1800. The first church organized in Cumberland
County was in 1833, in the house of David KUTZ, a mile or two east of
Carlisle. Among the first members were John KRATZER, Christian RUHL and
David KUTZ. Revs. J. BARBER and J. BAUMGARTNER were the first

David BAUMGARDNER, farmer, P.O. Fairfield, [Highland Twp., Adams Co.,
PA.] was born in Adams County, Penn., July 1, 1830, and is a son of John
and Mary (ANGEL) BAUMGARDNER, the former a native of Pennsylvania and
the latter of Maryland. David was three years of age when his parents
moved to Carroll County, Md., where his father engaged in farming until
his death. He lived on the homestead in Maryland until 1863, when he
returned to Pennsylvania and located in Fairfield. Shortly after he
moved to Franklin County, where he resided three years and then moved to
Hamiltonban Township, this county, where he bought property and resided
three years. Hen then bought a small farm in Franklin Township, on
which he lived eighteen months and moved to his present place in 1872,
where he owns thirty acres of land. He was first married, in 1854, to
Catherine WOLF, who bore him four children: Louisa Adelaide, married and
living in this county; John S., married and moved to Ohio; Catherine E.,
married and moved to Florida, and William D., married and moved to
Ohio. Mrs. BAUMGARDNER died in 1862, and our subject's second marriage
took place in 1863, with Hettie MUSSELMAN, to which union five children
were born: Amos M., Hettie V., Laura, Elmer J. and Samuel R.. Mr. and
Mrs. BAUMGARDNER are members of the Lutheran CHurch. Politically he is
a Republican. Our subject has one brother, named Samuel, and three
sisters: Maria, Elizabeth and Susann. He was drafted into the Union
Army in 1864, and August 6, of that year, he supplied a substitute at a
cost of $830.

Hope this helps! Please forgive any typographical errors on my part.
Best Wishes...
