	SAMUEL T. VANNATTA, Miller township, farmer, was born in Warren county, New Jersey, September 14, 1835.  He is the son of Peter and Sarah J. Vannatta, nee Weller, who were natives of New Jersey.  Mr. Vannatta died in New Jersey in 1836.  They ha two children, one of whom died in infancy, and the subject of this sketch.      Mrs. Vannatta remained in New Jersey until 1840, when she came to Miller township with her father, Philip P. Weller; she and her son Samuel remained with her father until he was about twenty-four years of age, when they purchased a tract of ninety-two acres of land, and moved upon it.  Mr. Vannatta, is now one of the leading farmers of the township, owning over three hundred acres of good land.  He is systematic in his management, and his farm shows more than usual care.  He was elected land appraiser of the township in 1879, and has filled a number of offices to the satisfaction of the people.  He is a man of good judgment and considered a wise counsellor.  His educational advantages were very limited; he, however, obtained a sufficient knowledge of the common branches to enable him to conduct his business.  He married Miss Levina Hawkins, January 29, 1864, daughter of Isaac Hawkins, of whom mention is made elsewhere.  They have three interesting children, viz:  Frank A., Charles O., and Flora Emeline.
