| Biography |
- John A. Summers, son of John P. Summers, was born Nov. 24, 1839, at Milton, and died there Feb. 24, 1899. He followed the huckster business for many years and later engaged in the restaurant business, in 1875 establishing himself in that line on Front street under the old opera house, where he remained till 1880, and then located at the site of C. Hull Knauer’s shoe store. He continued the restaurant business until two years before his death, and naturally was one of the best known citizens of the borough and the surrounding districts. He served six years as constable of Milton, and was a Democrat in political connection. Mr. Summers married Elizabeth Smith, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Bastam) Smith, and four children were born to this union: Spencer, who died when three years old; Edgar; Clarence A., now proprietor of the Summers Cafe in Milton; and Carrie M., who died when twenty-four years old, the wife of Frank A. Young.
