"ALFRED A. PANCAKE. One of the respresentative and honored citizens of Harrisburg is Alfred A. Pancake, now retired from active business, but formerly an enterprising factor in the business circles of Harrisburg. He was born June 22, 1829, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Jacob Pancake, the father was born in Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, in 1803. He was educated in the private schools of Harrisburg, and early in life learned the trade of saddler and followed it for several years. He was associated in this line of business, on Market Square, with Samuel Hayes, and finally sold out and engaged in the lumber trade, with George Trullinger, under the firm name of Trullinger & Co. On account of failing health he sold his business and lived a retired life for a few years, dying about 1840. He married Susan Trullinger, by whom were born the following children: Alfred A., of this notice. George, married Margaret Moore, of Harrisburg, both now deceased. Caroline, died 1906, was wife of Theopholas Weaver, deceased. Edwin, married Isabella Lindsey, in Harrisburg.
Alfred A. Pancake, son of Jacob and Susan (Trullinger) Pancake, was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, June 22, 1829, and educated in the public schools. When quite young he learned the machinist trade, in Schuylkill county, following it for several years. In 1856 he engaged in the planing mill business and operated in lumber, at 500 Race street, continuing for thirty years. About 1886 he sold his lumber business and retired. In 1874 he erected for himself a residence at No. 33 South Front street, where he resided several years. In 1894 he built a house on the corner of Second street and Reily, where he still lives. Politically Mr. Pancake is a Republican, but of the independent type, supporting the best fitted men, regardless of party lines. He is a member of the Westminster Presbyterian church, of Reily street, of which he has been a trustee for many years. He is a director of the Harrisburg National Bank.
He married, in 1854, Martha Edwards, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, by whom four children were born, three of whom died in infancy. The fourth child was Gertrude, who died 1894; she married Alfred Snavely, of Harrisburg, two children living-Martha and Gertrude. (See the family sketch of Mr. Snavely elsewhere in this work.) The mother, Martha (Edwards) Pancake, died at the age of fifty-four years. For his second wife Mr. Pancake married, 1894, Emma Edwards, daughter of Matthew Edwards."
