Samuel Feightner, one of the oldest native citizens of Wayne County, was born in Greene Township in 1821, a son of Abraham and Christiana (Coter) Feightner. Abraham Feightner came from Westmoreland County, Penn., in 1819 to Ohio, and entered 160 acres of land in Greene Township, Wayne County. He built a log cabin, and then moved his family to the county. He was a successful businessman, and at one time owned 500 acres, located in different counties in Ohio. He died at the age of seventy-three years, his wife living to be eighty-eight years old. Of their family of ten children, but three are now living.
Samuel Feightner has spent his life in his native county, and proudly relates the fact that in his infancy his cradle was a trough cut rudely from a sugar maple tree. His education was obtained at the primitive log school-house, and by studying at home by the old fire-place after the day's work on the farm was done. Farming has been his life work, and his success is due to his energy, frugality, and good management. He was married in 1843 to Chrissy Shartzer, daughter of Philip Shartzer, of Pennsylvania, and they have had a family of eight children: Levi, Christiana, Mary, Melinda, Angeline, Marie, Peter and Clara. Melinda and Peter are deceased. Mr. Feightner in his political affiliations is a Democrat. He and his family are members of the German Baptist Church.
