Personal Sketch
Samuel H. Liggett, German [Township]Son of Elias and Eleanor Liggett, born Dec. 23, 1827, in Cumberland County, Pa. He moved with his father to Sunbury, Montgomery County, Ohio, in the year 1838. Considering the incipient stage of education at that time, he received a liberal share by attending the Germantown Academy. He finished his education when eighteen years of age, and, after this, assisted his father in his various enterprises until the year 1850, when he entered into partnership with his father. The sire and son opened a dry-goods store in Germantown, occupying a rented building until they erected one for themselves, in which place Mr. Liggett is at present doing business with his brother, an M.D.; a view of this place can be seen by referring to another page. [Referring to another page in Everts 1875 Combination Atlas Map.] On the 20th of February, 1850, Mr. Liggett married Grace, daughter of George W. and Elizabeth Schoeffer, of Germantown; four children have been born to them; one died when two years old. Mr. Liggett is a strong supporter of the Democratic party, but entertains no malice to those who are pleased to differ with him; a more genial gentleman is not easily found. Mr. Liggett is a man of culture, and is highly respected by his fellow-townsmen, as being one of the thorough-going business-men of Germantown.
