EDWIN LICHTENWALNER, son of Charles, is a retired farmer in South Whitehall Township, located near Muhlenberg College. He was born Dec. 24, 1840 on the farm he now occupies and there he spent all his life except four years during which he lived at Alburtis and in connection with farming he acted as foreman for his father who built a house and barn upon his premises. During the early seventies Mr. Lichtenwalner had been in Illinois and Missouri. Upon his return to his native county he operated an ore mine in Lower Macungie for some years until finally he leased the mine away. In 1885 he settled upon the farm where he now lives and after the death of his father the farm came into his possession. It had been 141 acres but he sold 11 acres of it which is cut up into building lots. The brick house on this farm was built in 1852 by Charles Lichtenwalner. The barn was built by Amos Bachert in 1840.

He and family are Lutheran members of the Cedarville Church which Mr. Lichtenwalner served as deacon and elder.

He was married to Amanda Knauss, a daughter of Benjamin and Sarah (Steinanger) Knauss.
