History of Schuylkill County
Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania; genealogy--family history--biography; containing historical sketches of old families and of representative and prominent citizens, past and present (Volume 1). (page 85 of 93)
Samuel Deebel was bom Aug. 19, 1842, on the farm in East Union town-
ship which he now owns and occupies. He grew to manhood there, during his
boyhood attending the Lorah school, and received liis training for his Hfe
work under his father's tuition, continuing to work for him after he attained
his majority. When his father was no longer able to do his share of the
farm work he cared for him dutifully, looking after both his parents in their
old age. In 1874 he was given a deed to the home property by his father,
in consideration of the wages due him for his work after he was twenty-one
years old. He has added to the original tract by two purchases, one of thirty-
five acres, the other of seventy acres, of which sixteen acres are cleared. He
works all three tracts, carrying on general farming, in which he has been very
successful, being looked upon as one of the substantial men of his township.
Besides improving his land he built the present dwelling there, and has recently
made a number of changes in the house and grounds, having cement walks
and walls for his garden, and up-to-date appointments in his house. All
three places are equipped with hot and cold water and bathroom. As he and
his wife are great lovers of flowers they have beautified their yard with
uousual care, having one of the most attractive homes in the vicinity.
Mr. Deebel prizes all the possessions which have come down to him from
his ancestors, especially his mother's china, which includes some very fine old
specimens. He has been oft'ered good prices for some pieces, but would never
consent to part with them. He has several fine carriage robes, one specially
fine piece of work, made of coonskins from animals he trapped himself. He
has another made from the skins of groundhogs which he caught, and a fine
black bearskin from a bear which he shot in Centre county, this State.
Like his father Mr. Deebel has been a prominent member of St. Paul's
Lutheran Church, of which he is now elder, having held that office for twenty
years. He has also been deacon, and he is a regidar attendant at Sunday
school services. Politically he is a Democrat, and though never an office
seeker he served as tax collector in 1885. He was a charter member of Ring-
town Lodge, No. 287, I. O. O. F. He is a stockholder in the First National
Bank of Ringtown, and for twenty-two years has held stock in the Mahanoy
City Bank.
