Ingham (1899) EDWARD J. WEISBROD was born on the farm, in Cherry township, which is still his home, and is to-day numbered among the practical and progressive agriculturists of the community. His birth occurred September 14, 1849, his parents being Conrad and Elizabeth (Snyder) Weisbrod. At an early age he was trained to habits of industry and economy, and became skilled in the labors of the farm, so that when he began farming on his own account, experience had well fitted him for the duties that fall to the lot of the agriculturist. He has a valuable property, the fields well tilled, buildings in good repair, and everything indicating the industry and watchfulness of an enterprising owner. On the 20th of December, 1876, in Forksville, Pennsylvania, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Weisbrod and Miss Rosannah Sick, a sister of Charles Sick, one of the most prominent citizens of Cherry township. They became the parents of three children, but Eudorah A., their first born, died June 24, 1895, at the Lock Haven State Normal School, at the age of eighteen years, having taught three terms of school before her death. Two daughters, Hilda P. and Vida A., are still at home. Mr. Weisbrod and his family have a wide circle of friends in this locality and enjoy the regard of all. In his political views our subject is a Republican, but has never been an aspirant for office. He belongs to the Lutheran church and is the advocate of all measures or movements which he believes will prove of public benefit. In his business he is straight-forward, energetic and enterprising, and his careful management is bringing to him prosperity.
