Birth: July 1, 1805
Death: Feb 15, 1880
"Samuel Acker, son of Conrad and Magdalen, was born July 1, 1805, on Marsh Creek, in Uwchlan township. There he remained until sixteen years of age, when his father bought land in Tredyffrin township, where, a few years later, he died. Samuel was married to Mary Weisner, by whom he had one child, Zachariah. He was a practical farmer, and served repeatedly as township auditor. He was a member of the Reform Church of Pikeland, of which Rev. Jesse Knipe has been pastor for half a century.
He was originally a Whig, then a Republican, and never missed an election up to two years before his death, Feb. 15, 1880. His widow survives him, and resides on the homestead place. He was a man respected for his probity of character and public spirit, which made his decease universally lamented. His only child, Zachariah Acker, is a prominent and well-known merchant of Phoenixville, where he is also one of the proprietors and president of the "Moore Hall Foundry and Machine Company," chartered March 16, 1881. He is one of the leading and most public-spirited citizens of that town."
