Reuben K. Bachman, P. O. Durham, was born in Williams township, Northampton county, this state, August 6, 1834. His father, David Bachman, was a son of Solomon and Annie Bachman, natives of Bucks county, and was married to Mary, daughter of George and Catherine Knecht, natives of Northampton county. Reuben K. spent his early boyhood upon his father's farm, and received such education as was to be had in the farming districts during the winter months, in what was known as the old log school-house. In early life he followed the vocation of teaching, and in riper years he engaged in mercantile and milling business at Durham. He held neither military nor civil office until he was elected to the forty-sixth congress from the tenth district of Pennsylvania, in the year 1878, as a democrat. He is a member of the Reformed church. November 10, 1859, he was married to Miss Malinda E. Bachman, of Northampton county.
