"Samuel Behler, son of George, was born Sept. 10, 1825, near Steinsville, Lehigh Co., Pa., and was educated there and in West Penn township. He helped his father on the farm until his marriage, when he was about twenty-five years old, at that time leaving the parental home and buying a farm near Reynolds, containing twenty-five acres. Learning the shoemaker's trade with his father, he carried it on along with his farming, and was also handy at other mechanical work, understanding the use of many tools. After operating his twenty-five-acre tract for a time he sold it, and bought a farm in East Brunswick township, fifty-four acres, much of which he cleared. This farm today is owned by Henry Grube. Mr. Behler bought another farm, of ninety-nine acres, but finding he could not handle both places he sold the fifty-four acres to John Stibitz, and stayed on the other farm until his death, which occurred in March, 1912, when he was aged eighty-six years. Most of his time was devoted to farming, and he also became quite prominent as a local official, holding the positions of supervisor, school director and tax collector. Politically he was a Democrat. Mr. Behler married Matilda Buchner, who was born May 16, 1831, in Rush township, Schuylkill county, and died Dec. 4, 1892. She was a daughter of Aaron and Annie (Brause) Buchner. Mr. and Mrs. Behler had these children: Jeremiah married Amanda Haas, who is now deceased; Samuel B. is next in the family; Judith resides in East Brunswick township; Moses married Sarah Mantz; Aaron, twin of Moses, married Elizabeth Hendricks, who is deceased; Harvey is unmarried. Mr. Behler was a member of the Frieden's Lutheran Church at New Ringgold, where he and his wife are buried."
