BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF LEBANON COUNTY Page 331 and 332 (1904) HENRY H. KREIDER, one of the leading citizens of Annville, vice-president of the Annville National Bank, and head of the firm of Kreider & Company, dealers in lumber, coal and grain, was born September 30, 1835, in the old Kreider homestead in South Annville township, Lebanon county, a son of David and Sarah (Henry) Kreider. Henry H. Kreider was educated in the public schools of Annville later attending school at Mechanicsburg, and still later the Annville Academy. From 1855 to 1860 he engaged in teaching school, and from 1860 to 1866 he was in the mercantile business as a member of the firm of Kimports & Kreider, disengaging himself in order to embark in a milling business which he carried on for some four years. Later he added coal, in 1872 becoming interested in coal and grain, and adding lumber in 1891. Mr. Kreider has been a very successful business man, and is well and widely known because of his large interests in Annville and vicinity. For many years he has been one of the most progressive and public spirited of the town's citizens, his interest in the growth and development of her resources being shown in the organizations of the Lebanon Valley College, in 1867, of which he as been a trustee ever since, and was also treasurer until 1899. To Mr. Kreider more than to any other man, on account of his efforts during his long incumbency of the office of treasurer of the college, is due its development to its present stage. Mr. Kreider was also one of the organizers of the Annville National Bank, of which he has been a director since its foundation, and since 1893 has been its very efficient vice-president. Another large and important business enterprise which owes much to the energy of Mr. Kreider is the Annville Water Company, of which he is also president, and he was one of the original directors of the electric railroad from Lebanon to Annville, which was subsequently sold to another company, which extended the road to Palmyra. In 1876 he was elected to the office of prothonotary of Lebanon county for a term of three years, and previous to that he was county auditor for a term of three years. Mr. Kreider was originally a Whig, and later a strong Republican in politics, in which he was taken an active part. His first vote was cast for John C. Fremont. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention from his native State in 1884, when James G. Blaine was nominated for president. On September 6, 1859, Mr. Kreider was married to Mary Hoverter, daughter of Christian Hoverter, of Annville, and the following named children have been born to this union: Morris David, who is a carpenter by trade; William Henry, who graduated from the Lebanon Valley College in 1894, and from the Law Department of Yale University in 1896, subsequently took a special course in law in 1897, the same year was admitted to practice in all the courts of Connecticut, and in 1898 was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar, and is now in successful law practice in Philadelphia, being a partner of Senator John C. Grady, the leader of the Republican party in the Pennsylvania Legislature; and Mary E., still at home, who took a classical course in Lebanon Valley College, graduating in 1899, graduated after a course in instrumental music in 1896, and in vocal music in 1898, and took a musical course in the London Conservatory of Music in 1898. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``` HENRY H.
