J. L. Augendobler, p. 821

J. L. AUGHENDOBLER, proprietor of meat market, Monongahela, is a native of the county, born in Carroll township, July 17, 1856, a son of Adam Aughendobler. He had very early in life to commence working for a living, and as a consequence had but little opportunity to attend school. He was first employed by Robert Van Voorhis, a farmer of Monongahela, with whom he remained one year; then entered the employ of W. C. Shaw, a gardener who resided at Pine Creek, Allegheny county, and, after three years' engagement with him, clerked for William Kennan, of Monongahela, some years. He also worked for George Kern, in Monongahela, in meat shop twelve years. In 1885 Mr. Aughendobler opened his present meat market and butchering business, in which, by close attention to the wants of his customers, by care in furnishing the choicest meats, and by his well- known urbanity of manner and honorable dealing, he has earned a well-merited success.

On June 8, 1878, our subject was married to Margaret E., daughter of William Brooks, of Monongahela, and the children born to this union are Maude, Adam, Bessie, Leonard and Donald, all living. Mr. Aughendobler is a straight Democrat and has held the office of councilman in Monongahela two years; he has also served on the school board, having been recently reelected for his second term. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
