Sassaman S. Shappell, son of Jacob M. and Sophia (Schmidt), was born in Perry township, in Schappell's Dale, April 25, 1855. He is a great-grandson of Lieut.-Col. Jeremiah Schappell. He received a good education in the public schools of his native locality, which he attended until the age of nineteen years, since which time he has been engaged in farming in Perry township. He also owns a sawmill, and makes trips among the farmers, sawing their timber for buildings and other purposes, being one of the first men in the county to own a portable gasoline engine which generates the power to run the saw, as well as the grain separator and other machinery. For the last twenty-two years he has also been running a threshing machine outfit among the farmers. Mr. Shappell is one of the best-known men in the township, and has many friends, drawn to him by his many sterling characteristics. He is a great friend to the cause of education, and for six years se
r
ved as a member of the school board. He is greatly interested in the politics of his county, and has always worked in the interests of the Democratic party, being candidate for the office of county commissioner, a position for which he made a strong run in the spring of 1908. For a number of years he was an official member of Zion's Union Church of his township.
Mr. Shappell has been twice married, his first wife being Candace Reeser, daughter of Peter and Hettie (Stetzler) Reeser, and children as follows were born of this union: Laura Miltmeary; J. Peter, now a dairy farmer; Hettie S., who died in her twentieth year; William S., now a machinist; and Benjamin F., a graduate of Dickinson College, now a student at the University of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Shappell died Oct. 6, 1885, in her thirty-third year. Mr. Shappell married (second) Louisa Adam, daughter of John and Catherine (Weidenhammer) Adam. She had a son, William Lawson Machmer, a most exemplary young man, who was reared by Mr. Shappell. He received his early education in the schools of Perry township and Keystone State Normal School, graduating in the class of 1901. After his graduation he taught school for several years in Perry township, and then re-entered the Normal, taking a post-graduate course. He was graduated from Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, in 1907, with first honors, and is at present a
member of the faculty; he expects to take a theological course. To Mr. Shappell's second marriage were born: Harvey A., now a farmer; James I., who died in childhood; and George H., Katie B., Clarence E. and Newell A., at home.
