CHARLES CHRISTIAN HARING is 

 of the second generation of the Harmg 

 family in America. His father, Charles 

 Christian Haring, Sr., was a native of 

 Kirchheim, in the kingdom of Wurtemberg, 

 Germany. He came to this country with 

 his wife, who bore the maiden name of K. 

 Frederica Mamele, in 1849, landing in New 

 York City, whence they went to Phila- 

 delphia. It was the intention of JNIr. Har- 

 ing to go to California, but circumstances 

 prevented his carrying out this plan, so nt 

 remained in the city of Philadelphia, where 

 he followed his trade of cabinet making 

 for many years. He afterward removed 

 to Shelly Station, in Richland township, 

 Bucks county, where he purchased a farm. 

 In his family were the following named: 

 Louisa Frederica, born December, 1849, 

 and is the wife of Adolph Jaekel, of Phila- 

 delphia; Charles C. ; Emil W., who married 

 Sarah Wetzel, and is teller for the Quaker- 

 town Trust Company of Quakertown, Penn- 

 sylvania; and Henry Gottlieb, who is liv- 

 ing at Terrell, Texas. 



Charles Christian Haring, whose name 

 introduces this record, was born in the tarn- 

 ily home at the corner of Tenth and Mar- 

 ket streets, Philadelphia, March 17, 1852. 

 His father was engaged in cabinet making 

 for the firm of Moore & Campion of that 

 city for many years, and the son attended 

 the public schools of Philadelphia until the 

 spring of 1861, when the family removed 

 to the vicinity of Shelly Station, in Rich- 

 land township, Bucks county. There he 

 continued his education in the district 

 schools, and when not engaged with his 

 text books he assisted his father in the oper- 

 ation of the home farm until his seven- 

 teenth year, when he entered the employ ol 

 E. T. Ochs, in the general store at Quaker- 

 town. There he remained for three and a 

 half years, when in the fall of 1871 he ob- 

 tained a position as teller in the newly or- 



ganized Quakertown Savings Bank, of 

 which Dr. Joseph Thomas was cashier. 

 Mr. Haring continued to act in that ca- 

 pacity until 1877, when the savings bank 

 went into liquidation, and the Quakertown 

 National Bank was soon afterward organ- 

 ized with Dr. Thomas as its president and 

 Charles C. Haring as cashier. In this po- 

 sition Mr. Haring has since continued to 

 serve, and the success of the institution is 

 attributable in large measures to his ef- 

 forts. Such has been the capable manage- 

 ment of the bank that it today ranks twen- 

 ty-sixth among the seven hundred national 

 banks in Pennsylvania, and is certainly a 

 credit to a city of the size of Quakertown. 

 ]\Ir. Haring occupies an enviable position in 

 financial circles, bearing an unassailable rep- 

 utation, and wherever he is known com- 

 mands the respect and confidence of his 

 fellow men. In politics Mr. Haring is a 

 stalwart Republican, deeply interested in 

 the success of his party, yet not seeking or 

 desiring the honors or emoluments of onice. 

 He prefers to devote his time aside from 

 his office and business to his home and fam- ^ 

 ily. He has, however, held the position 

 of member of the Quakertown board of 

 health, also auditor of the borough for two 

 terms. 



On the 20th of October, 1875, -Mr. Har- 

 ing was married to Miss Annie Lott, a 

 daughter of Dr. Charles F. Lott, and his 

 wife, Eliza (McMichael) Lott, of Quaker- 

 town. Her grandparents were Peter 

 and Mary Heyer Lott. The grand- 

 father served as a quartermaster in 

 the continental army, and resigned in 

 1780. He lived at Princeton and at 

 Woodbridge, New Jersey, and died 

 in 1787. He married Mary, daughter of 

 Colonel Jacob Heyer, who commanded a 

 regiment in the Continental army at Tren- 

 ton, at Princeton, and at Monmouth, thus 

 participating in some of the important en- 

 gagements in the war for Independence. 

 Her father was born in Princeton, INe\> 

 Jersey, in 1781, and died July 8, 1866. He 

 . attended school at New Brunswick, New 

 Jersey, and afterward studied medicine 

 under the direction of Dr. Moses Scott. 

 He began practicing as physician and sur- 

 geon in 1803. He served as assistant sur- 

 geon with the rank of captain in the New 

 Jersey militia under Major Reed, in the 

 war of 1812. He was married in 1809 to 

 Edith Newbold Lamb, of Burlington coun- 

 ty, New Jersey, and after her death was 

 married in 1848 to Eliza ]\IcMichael. By 

 this marriage was born the daughter Annie, 

 on the 29th of March, 1852. She attended 

 the public schools at Quakertown, alsq 

 the Moravian Seminary at Bethlehem, and 

 «»fter readying womanhood gave her hand 

 in marriage tc Mr. Haring.
