ADAM H. SAILER, who was one of the most prosperous farmers of Berks County, where he was actively engaged in farming for so many years, has been living in retirement on the home farm in Exeter township since 1890, in the quiet and peace of home life, enjoying the fruits of a laborious past. He is a son of Henry and Sarah (Harm) Sailer, and was born in what is now Muhlenberg township, then Alsace township, December 4, 1826.
He comes of French Huguenot stock, and his great-grandfather was Philip Sailer, who was born in Alsace, France, and came to America in the early part of the eighteenth century, on account of religious persecution. He located at Sixth and Franklin streets, Reading, Pa., where he conducted a meat market. He was accompanied to this country by two brothers, who located west of the Susquehanna River, and all traces of them and their descendants have been obliterated. His companion in life was a native of Alsace, France, and their union was blessed by the birth of three sons, namely : Philip, who lost his life in the Revolutionary War ; Frederick, who followed farming on a farm in Alsace, now Muhlenberg township; and Henry, the grandfather of our subject. Henry Sailer was born in Reading, February 29, 1764, and through all his life was engaged in agricultural pursuits on a farm owned by Governor Hiester. He was united in marriage with Anna Maria Magdalena Rothenberger, who was born December 12, 1770, and they reared two sons: Henry, the father of our subject; and John.
