AARON WITMER, for forty years a veterinary surgeon of Lancaster county, was one of the old and respected residents of West Lampeter township, where he owned a fine farm of seventy-six acres, this being a part of the estate added by his father to the old homestead.

Aaron Witmer was born April 13, 1832, on the old home land and attended the public schools, but early in life manifested an interest in the proper rearing and care of stock, particularly horses, and, in order to fit himself with sufficient knowledge to make his own animals remain in the best condition, he began the scientific study of the horse. This reulted in an accurate knowledge that was increased in and encouraged by a course of two years reading under Dr. C. N. Shaub, when he was so proficient that he was made a life member of the Veterinary Association at Philadelphia.

Although Aaron Witmer continued to farm, his time soon became so filled with demands for the practice of his profession that he could not confine himself to agricultural pursuits, for all through Lancaster county, and into farther counties, he has been called upon in a professional way. At present his son, who read and studied under his supervision, has succeeded to the profession. There is no doubt but that every stockraiser should have a general knowledge of the veterinary art, but to master it requires quite as assiduous study as does the science of medicine.

In 1854 Aaron Witmer was married to Mary Herr, a daughter of Abraham Herr, of Pequea township, who was born there Dec. 19, 1831; and to this union three children were born: Frank E., born July 27, 1855, a farmer of West Lampeter township, living on a part of the father's old home, who married Mary Ann Herr, a daughter of Joseph Herr, and had five children, Ida, Jacob, Elmer, Frank and Esther; Abraham H., born June 10, 1857, a farmer, gardener and florist, residing on the adjoining farm, who married Mary A. Bachman, a daughter of Eli Bachman, of Lampeter, and has three sons, Eli, John and George; and J. Elam, born May 25, 1859, a farmer and veterinary surgeon of this township, who married Lizzie Bachman, a daughter of Eli Bachman, and had three children, Ross, Willis and Mary.

Aaron Witmer died Nov. 15, 1900. The family is prominently connected with the Mennonite Church, and all are well known through the township as honorable and esteemed citizens.
