Certificate Number: 46748∼John Baird Bachman was born March 22, 1820 to Samuel Bachman and Rebecca G. Baird Bachman, on the old home place in Bart township, and there spent his early life. During his boyhood he attended the select schools of the neighborhood, receiving a good practical education. His first business experiences were gained by helping his father in the country store and village hotel, and at the age of seventeen he commenced to learn the trade of carpenter, which he continued to follow until 1852. In that year, desiring to extend his business interests, he removed to Columbia, with which place he has since been identified. Until 1894 Mr. Bachman conducted a large planing mill and lumber yard, engaging extensively in the manufacture of sash doors and blinds, also in building, and he became widely known as one of the most reliable business men in this section. Since 1895 he has lived retired. However, he still takes a deep interest in the affairs of his town, and he has served as burgess of Columbia for the past three years. Mr. Bachman previously served nine years as councilman, and his fidelity to the best interests of the town has been a marked characteristic of these years of service. Originally an old line Whig, his political sympathies are now with the Republican party. Like his ancestors, he is a Presbyterian in religious faith. In 1910, Mr. Bachman passed away in Lancaster County at the age of 90.
