p. 20 JOHN STRAUB WEITZEL... was born at Shamokin, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, January 28, 1887, and is a son of George W. and Mary Catherine (Straub) Weitzel.  The Weitzels have belonged to Pennsylvania for very many years, mainly thrifty farmers and good citizens. George W. Weitzel was born in his father's farm in Northumberland County, in 1852, grew to manhood there and then located at Shamokin, where for many years he has been a prominent general merchant.  He is a member of liberal supporter of the Lutheran Church, and an influential factor in republican politics, but not an office holder.  He belongs to the patriotic order of the Sons of America and to the fraternal organization the Royal Arcanum.  He married Mary Catherine Straub in Schuylkill County, who was born there in 1854, and they have had five children: Emma Margaret, who resides at home, is a teacher in the public schools of Shamokin; George Edward, who is engaged in the real estate business at Richmond; Ida, who died in childhood; John S.; and Bertha Helen, who is the wife of Robert L. Branner, president of the P. & E. Laundry at Richmond...
