Biographical History
Henry F. Slaymaker operated an inn, a general store, and was postmaster of Salisbury, Lancaster, Co., Pa. His father, Amos Slaymaker, operated a tavern, a store, and was prominent in local politics. Amos opened his store on May 18, 1783 and operated it in conjunction with his tavern, Sign of John Adams. He became postmaster and a turnpike supervisor, which helped his business grow. As turnpike traffic increased, Amos established his own line of stage coaches. In 1809, Henry finished his education at Dickinson College and began running his father's store and inn, with the assistance of Thomas Smith. In 1820, Henry and his brother, Amos H., set up a hardware store in Columbia, but in 1823, Henry returned to the Salisbury operations and took over the postmastership. During the 1830s, he established a hotel and store along the Gap Railroad.
