  M. T. BERINGER, comptroller of Blair County, was born in 1881, at Beringer, 
Indiana County, Pa., a son of George and Catherine Beringer, both deceased. 
Reared on the home farm, he attended the public schools and prepared
himself for the teaching profession. He taught in Indiana County during the year 
of 1899 and then entered the employ of John D. Garman, proprietor of a general 
store at Beringer, remaining there one year. He then became a fireman on the 
Cresson Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad and in 1902 allied himself with 
the William F. Gable Company, of Altoona, Pa., as buyer of books and stationery. 
He continued in this work until 1918, when he was appointed deputy county 
comptroller. In 1921, he was elected county comptroller and has been returned to 
that office at the three succeeding elections. He has served as a member of the 
school board and is now secretary and treasurer of the Blair County Agricultural 
Extension Association. He is a Republican in politics and is interested in the 
civic affairs of Hollidaysburg, his home. He is a member of the Blue Lodge, 
Consistory, and Shrine in Masonry, the Patriotic Order Sons of America, Junior 
Order of United American Mechanics, and Knights of Pythias, and attends the 
Lutheran Church. In July, 1906, he was united in marriage to Anna B. Spearing, 
of Altoona, Pa., and they are the parents of these children: J. Craig, an 
accountant in the employ of Blair County; Edward Forde, with the State Highway 
Department; and Marie Adele, a student at the Shippensburg State Teachers' 
College. Mrs. Beringer attends the Lutheran Church, where she is a member of the 
Ladies' Aid Society, and holds membership in the Order of the Eastern Star.
