Abraham/Bomberger, who died September 7,1900, was a native of North Cornwall township, this county, and farmed property near Reistville, Jackson township, until the time of his death. Eliza (Ruhl) Bomberger, mother of Daniel K., was born in South Lebanon township, Lebanon county, and is now, at the age of eighty-four years, living with her son. Daniel K. Bomberger was born in Jackson township, November 10, 1880, and was the third in order of birth of a family of five children, of whom the others are: Moses, of Reading, Pa.; Ellen, the wife of Isaac Krall, of Richland; Edwin, of Easton, Pa.; and John, who resides at Reading. After completing his early training in the public schools of his township, he entered the employ of Daniel Weaver, bologna manufacturer of Weavertown, Lebanon county, and set himself to learn thoroughly the details of the business. After a time, he left the company to pursue a course at the Lebanon Business college but returned to the Weaver organization as bookkeeper for one year after his graduation. He then engaged in the manufacture of bologna sausage in Heidelberg township, Lebanon county, maintaining his plant there three years. In 1908, he purchased his present site of eight and a half acres near Lebanon and has here developed a plant equipped with the most modern machinery obtainable.
