WASHINGTON D. STRIEBIG, only child of John K. and Harriet (Day) Striebig, was born September 
19, 1826, at his present home, where he has always lived.  He always followed farming; received 
a common school education.  December 24, 1857, Mr. Striebig married Delalah (Emmel), daughter 
of John and Mary (Mull) Emmel, of Spring Garden Township.  Seven children were born to them:  
John, Elenora, George, Eliza, Mary, Edward and Josiah (deceased).  The Striebig family is a 
very old one in York Township.  Our subject’s great-grandfather, George Striebig, purchased the 
farm on which our subject now resides, from the Penns, 111 years ago (1774).
