J. EDWIN SCHEETZ merchant, P.O. Keller's Church, is a son of 
Charles Scheetz.  He was born July 6, 1864, in the house 
where his father now lives, and which was his home until his 
marriage. After having obtained a good district school 
education he attended the State Normal school at West 
Chester, on leaving which he went into the store of his 
brother, Grier, at Perkasie.  A year later he returned to 
Keller's Church, clerking for three years for his brother 
George, who had succeeded his brother Grier who succeeded 
his father in the store there.  At the end of this time he 
bought out his brother and now owns the business. January 
29, 1887, he was married to Rosa, daughter of William 
Buehrle of this township. She was born November 13, 1865.  
In February, 1887, Mr. Scheetz was appointed assistant 
postmaster under his father and does all the business of the 
office except that actually imposed on the postmaster 
personally by law.  He is one of the younger merchants of 
the township, and one of the most enterprising and 
energetic.  By industry, intelligence, and close attention 
he has built up and maintains a flourishing trade.  He and 
his wife are members of the German Reformed church.  He 
takes a considerable interest in public matters, and in 
politics is a democrat.  He is a member of the I. O. R. M.
