   ZENO W. WEIERBACH farmer, P.O. Pleasant Valley, Pa., is a 
son of Adam, who was born on the old homestead in 1817, and 
after his marriage removed to his present home.  He has been 
a farmer all his life.  He has been school director and has 
taken an active interest in educational and church matters, 
and is noted for his liberal giving for those objects.  His 
wife was Eliza Weierbach, a distant relative.  She died in 
1872, aged fifty-one.  They had nine children, of whom three 
are deceased, viz.:  Sarah, Maria and Teliza; the living are 
Emma, wife of Rev. J. J. Rosch, of Cohocton, N. Y.; Sabina, 
wife of Lewellyn Kuichel, teacher in Coopersburg, Pa.; Ralph 
W., in Lancaster; William, in Quakertown; Albert, in Lebanon 
county, and Zeno W., who was next to Emma, and was born July 
15, 1845, on the farm where his father is living.  When 
twenty-one years old he began teaching, which he followed 
five terms.  In 1876 he began farming where he now lives, 
and where he has erected a house and buildings superior to 
those usually found on the farm.  He was married May 13, 
1876, to Olivia, daughter of Joseph Moyer, of this township. 
 She was born May 2, 1847.  They have had five children, of 
whom two, Donatus and Calvin, are deceased, and Xerxes, 
Telephes, and Gwinnett are living.  Mr. Weierbach has held 
several township offices and has been assessor for five 
years.  He is a member of Coopersburg Lodge, No. 469, A. Y. 
M., and of R. A. Chapter, No. 203, of Allentown.  He is a 
member of the Springfield German Reformed church, and his 
wife of the Mennonite church, and he is regarded as a 
leading man in the community.  In politics he is a democrat.
