YOXTHEIMER, who is now living retired in the borough of Northumberland, was born March 12, 1848, in Point township, and was for many years engaged in farming there. He is a great-grandson of Henry Yoxtheimer, Sr., a farmer who lived in what is now Rockefeller township, being a pioneer in the Plum Creek Valley. He was a Lutheran in religious faith. He and his wife Maria had children as follows: Maria, Mrs. Peter Sampsel; George, who lived in Lower Augusta township; Jacob, who lived in the vicinity of Milton, this county; Henry; Mrs. Zartman; Sallie, Mrs. Leopold; and Mrs. Campbell.George Yoxtheimer, son of Henry and Maria, was the grandfather of George W.

He was a laborer and farmer, and at the time of his death was living a half mile north-west of Shamokin Dam, in Monroe township, Snyder county.

W., Mary E., Benjamin T. and one that died young.George W. Yoxtheimer was educated in the public schools in the neighborhood of his early home and at Selinsgrove Institute. He taught school at Selinsgrove for a time, but his active years were devoted principally to farming, to which vocation he had been trained from boyhood. For six years he worked out among farmers, and after he was married began farming on his own account in Snyder county, living near the Union county line, in fact, some of his land was situated in that county. After renting four years he again crossed the Susquehanna, and buying a house in Northumberland borough was in the employ of the Van Alens for four years, running plate rolls. At the end of that time he bought a tract of forty-five acres in Point township, to which he added as his circumstances and opportunity permitted, and later he bought a 100-acre farm. Twelve years later he sold his first purchase and the twelve acres mentioned to his son James H., who also bought nineteen acres of the 100 acre farm, and in the spring of 1910 he rented his home farm to his son-in-law. He has since lived retired. In March, 1910, he purchased a home in the borough of Northumberland, to which he removed early in 1911. Mr. Yoxtheimer was an industrious man, and was successful beyond the ordinary. He took an active interest in the local welfare, serving three years as school director and later three years as supervisor. He is a man who has the thorough respect of all who know him.On Aug. 17, 1875, Mr. Yoxtheimer married Mary C.
