BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES: SILVER SPRING TOWNSHIP
MANASSEH HERMAN, farmer P.O. New Kingstown, was born in 1829, on the old homestead, which has now been in the Herman family four generations; the farm is called "Maple Hall," and on it Mr. Herman has passed his entire life. He was educated at the common schools, and later took an academic course at New Kingston. He then went West, and on his return, in 1859, married Miss Mary E. Meily, daughter of Jacob and Mary (Fry) Meily, of Cumberland County. To them have been born five children: Warren S., A. Lorena, Mary E., Rachel A.G., and Manasseh H. After marriage, Mr. Herman and wife went to housekeeping on the old homestead, and here they have reared their family. Mr. and Mrs. Herman are devout members of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Mechanicsburg; the children are all members of the same church, with the exception of the youngest. In politics Mr. Herman is a democrat, as was his father before him. Mrs. Herman was one of the first graduates of the Irving Female College, Mechanicsburg. The eldest son is a graduate of the Carlisle High School, of the class of 1882. Mr. Herman is a carefree farmer and a reliable man. (For early history of the family see sketch of John E. A. Herman).
