  GEORGE SCHEETZ merchant, P.O. Applebachsville, is a member 
of one of the oldest families in this part of Bucks county, 
and was born in this county in 1859.  George Scheetz, his 
grandfather, married Hester Fluck, by whom he had eight sons 
and one daughter.  Charles, who was the sixth child, married 
Magdalena, daughter of John Hager, of Bucks county. Eight 
children, all of whom are living, were born to this 
marriage.  George is the fourth child born to his parents, 
who are now aged respectively 63 and 57 years.  Charles 
Sheetz was more than 40 years engaged in the mercantile 
business, which his sons have now taken up, and are 
following in the footsteps of their father, who has had a 
long and successful career in that business.  George Scheetz 
left school at the age of 17 years to engage in business.  
He clerked for his father and brother until 1883, when he 
engaged in business for himself at Keller's Church, and 
remained there four years.  In 1887 he located at 
Applebachsville, where he carries on a general merchandise 
business.  He is an active young man, full of push and 
energy, and is a member of the Masonic order, and the 
Improved Order of Red Men.  Politically he is a democrat.
