"Dr. Samuel Eckert Lightcap, dentist of Mobile AL, is a son of Samuel Lightcap, who was born in Montgomery Co PA on 10/25/1816. Samuel Lightcap has always been a machinist and locomotive engineer, which pursuits, he followed in Pennsylvania for fully half a century. He is yet hale and hearty; and well preserved, though he is in his 76th year. He makes his home with his son. The father of Samuel Lightcap was John Lightcap, a native of PA, having been born near the city of Philadelphia. He was a farmer, and the son of Jacob Lightcap, an Englishman who came to this country prior to the Revolutionary War. The mother of Samuel Lightcap was Sarah Otherholt, who was born in PA, but whose parents were born, reared and married in Germany. Dr. Lightcap's mother was Mary Ann Eckert, who was born in Pottstown on 2/29/1826, and she died in the same place, having resided there all her life, on 10/27/1882. Her father was Jacob Eckert, who was born in PA, and who was a son of Andrew Eckert. The Eckert family, as is evident from the name, is of German origin. Dr Samuel Eckert Lightcap, was born in Pottstown PA on 10/4/1860, the youngest of 9 children, five of whom were sons and four daughters. Two of the sons and two of the daughters still survive. He was educated in the public schools of his native town, and, having determined to be in the dental profession, he entered the Philadelphia Dental college and graduated 1883. For several years following this he pursued his profession as a journeyman, traveling quite extensively through the US and Canada. In 1889, he located permanently at Mobile, and there engaged in business for himself, since which he has been eminently successful, and is now one of the leading dentists in that city. He has a very large and lucrative practice. He was married on 9/11/1888 to Miss Lottie Oldenburg, a native of Berlin, but a resident at the time of her marriage, of Milwaukee, WI."
