   SAMUEL WEIRBACH farmer, P.O. Richlandtown, is a son of 
Peter and Susan (Croman) Weirbach, and was born in Richland 
township in 1814.  At the age of eight years he was bound 
out to a man named John Narrengand, who resided in the 
village of Richlandtown, and remained till he was 18 years 
old, when he commenced to learn the shoemaker's trade, 
serving an apprenticeship of two years.  He worked at his 
trade three or four years, then hired himself to Charles 
Himmelwright.  He was married in 1843 to Hannah Penrose and 
then remained with Himmelwright 25 years (until his death in 
1861), at the expiration of which time he purchased the 
farm.  His wife died in 1868.  Three children were born to 
them:  Charles P., Joseph and Samuel, all living.  Joseph, 
who is now living with his family on the farm of his father, 
who resides with him, was born June 2, 1846, and was married 
in 1869 to Mary, daughter of Enos and Elizabeth (Lewis) 
Stump.  Their children are:  Anna May (deceased), Harvey E. 
and Howard H.   He is a member of the Reformed church.
