Samuel Wimer lived in Lancaster previous to 1798, but in that year he and his father Stophel Wimer started on horseback for this county. They located a farm in this township (Worth) purchased from William Elliott, a surveyor and land agent. The place is now occupied by the widow of John Pisor. The father of Samuel Wimer worked at blacksmithing. Samuel married Elizabeth Hines. Their children were Samuel (who was killed by the falling of a heavy rail from a fence upon him), Samuel, Mary Jane (now Mrs. Dr. Abernethy, of Mechanicsburg), Abner, and George (who reside near the Mercer and Lawrence County lines). Their father was a soldier in the war of 1812. His wife is still living, at the age of ninety-three years.
