J. E. Aughenbaugh
Best known as one of the credited authors of Common Trees of Pennsylvania, this writer is tied to a practical, reader-friendly guide to identifying the state's trees. Very little biographical information appears to be readily available, which gives the work itself most of the spotlight.

Common trees of Pennsylvania
by Joseph E. Ibberson, J. E. Aughenbaugh, A. B. Mickalitis, C. L. Morris
About the author
J. E. Aughenbaugh is listed by Project Gutenberg as one of the authors of Common Trees of Pennsylvania, alongside Joseph E. Ibberson, A. B. Mickalitis, and C. L. Morris. The book is presented as an educational guide focused on recognizing Pennsylvania tree species through leaves, bark, twigs, and other visible features.
The work has a clear everyday purpose: helping readers identify common trees across the seasons while building appreciation for their environmental and practical value. Its straightforward, field-guide style suggests an authorial role rooted in natural history, forestry, or conservation-minded education.
Beyond that credited publication, I couldn't confirm many reliable personal details about Aughenbaugh from the sources I found. No trustworthy biographical profile or clearly verified portrait turned up, so this overview stays close to the book record itself.
