    DANIEL B. WEAVER, a prosperous miller of Miles township. Centre county, residing near Wolfs Store, is a citizen of the best type. In the hour of our country's danger through rebellion he served gallantly in her defense, while in peace he has maintained an honorable and useful position among his fellows. He was born July 2, 1840, near Wolfs Store, where his father, John Weaver, a son of John Weaver, Sr., also first opened his eyes to the light.
    Our subject's father was reared as a farmer boy, enjoying but meagre educational privileges in the subscription schools of that day, and working upon the home farm until his marriage. His wife, Susan Brungart, was born and reared in Brush Valley, and her father, Jacob Brungart, was a well-known agriculturist living east of Wolfs Store. After their marriage the young couple located on a farm belonging to John Weaver, Sr., where they resided many years, and then after a short stay upon a farm south of Wolfs Store they returned to the farm where our subject was born. There both passed away, and their remains now rest in the burial ground at Rebersburg. John Weaver, Jr., was of ordinary build, but of a strong constitution, and usually enjoyed robust health. He was industrious and lived in comfortable style, but never acquired riches. His honesty was unwavering, and throughout the community he was held in high esteem. As a Democrat he always took keen interest in political issues, being a regular voter, and for two terms he held the office of supervisor. He was a member of the Reformed Church, his wife of the Lutheran. They had the following children: Thomas, a shoemaker at Tylersville, Penn.; Israel, who died in boyhood; Daniel B., of this sketch; Mary (Mrs. John Breon), of Miles township, Centre county; Chestie (Mrs. William Meyer), of Wolfs Store; John H., who died in early manhood at Potters Bank; William H., a miller at Millheim; Maggie (Mrs. John Minich), of Brush Valley; and Charles A., a miller at Osceola, Pennsylvania.

    George Meyer was the first of the family to come to Haines township, Centre county. He was born in Campbelltown, March 25, 1782, and in 1827 came to Centre county, buying a farm and millsite on Pine creek, where he erected a mill. He was a giant in strength, yet inferior to his brothers, Henry, John and Michael. He married Catharine Meyer, who was born December 2, 1788, a daughter of John Jacob Meyer, and died March 13, 1858. He passed away January 1, 1854, and was buried with his wife at Aaronsburg, Centre county. Their family constituted the following children: George, born January 13, 1806...; John, a farmer by occupation, died in Penn's Valley, January 28, 1878; Catharine married Andrew Harter, and died in Penn's Valley, October 3, 1S72; Henry died in Haines township. Centre county, March 9, 1877; Mary wedded Andrew Stover, and lives in Penn's Valley; Philip died in Haines township, June 25, 1876; and Jacob G., a resident of Aaronsburg, at one time represented his district in the State Legislature.



    From The Meyer Family Tree compiled by John D. Meyer, Tyrone, PA, October, 1937,
    In 1827 with his family moved to Center Co., PA purchasing a farm and mill site on Pine Creek one mile east of Coburn where he erected a grist mill. He was an accomplished singer. He was especially fond of the chase and his home was always headquarters for the hunters during the season.



    George Meyer came into Penn's Valley, Centre county, Pa., in 1837, locating on Pine Creek, south of Aaronsburg, Pa., where he purchased a farm and a mill site on which a grist mill was erected. (Property of John George Morr.) Mr. Meyer was a man of stout physical frame and great strength, but was inferior in that respect to his giant brothers, Henry, John and Michael. The Meyers were nearly all fine singers; many of them have been from generation to generation instructors in music, both vocal and instrumental, and have been leaders of choirs in the churches of the neighborhoods in which they resided. George Meyer led singing in the Reformed Church, Campbellstown, Pa., from the time he was sixteen years of age (1798) until 1827 when he removed to the vicinity of Aaronsburg, Pa. He led the singing in the Reformed Church, Aaronsburg, from 1827-32. Mr. Meyer was passionately fond of the chase, and often in company with near relatives, and others, indulged in this exhilarating pastime. His place was a recognized headquarters of the sporting fraternity of the neighborhood, and among those who frequently visited them were the famous hunters of that period, the Roush brothers. — Meyer Genealogy.

    593 COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

    FREDERICK BRUNGART, Sr., the oldest
    living male representative of one of the
    most honored and highly-respected families of
    Nittany Valley, was born December 11, 1817,
    in Miles township. Brush Valley, Centre Co.,
    Penn., a son of Jacob and Margaret (Gephart)
    Brungart. The family is a numerous one in both
    Brush and Nittany Valleys, and was founded here
    in 1798 by Martin Brungart, who came from the
    vicinity of Hanover, York Co., Penn., and. pur-
    chased the interest of a Mr. Kreamer in a tract
    of land in the east end of Brush Valley, where
    he located permanently. He and his wife died
    there, and were buried in the old cemetery at Re-
    bersburg.
    In the family of this worthy couple was Jacob
    Brungart, our subject's father, who was born
    January 15, 1786, and died September 5, 1862.
    When but a boy he went with his parents to
    Brush Valley, where he was reared and married
    to a Miss Weaver, by whom he had three chil-
    dren: Polly, Susan and John. For his Second
    wife he chose Margaret Gephart, and to them
    were born the following children: Martin; George ;
    Jacob; Frederick; Samuel; Catharine, wife of
    Adam Bear; Margaret, wife of Jacob Smeltzer;
    Regina, wife of John Shaffer; and Sarah, wife of
    William Johnson. The daughters by the first
    wife — Mary (or Polly) married John Heckman;
    and Susan married John Weaver. The father
    was one of the most successful, thrifty and highly
    esteemed farmers of Brush Valley, owning sev-
    eral fine farms, three of which were in Nittany
    Valley, Clinton county, and these he gave to his
    sons, John, George and Frederick, who in that
    order came to this locality.
    The subject of this sketch conned his lessons
    in the Brungart school in the east end of Brush
    Valley, which was conducted on the subscription
    plan, and James McGhee was one of his first
    teachers. He early became familiar with all the
    duties which fall to the lot of the agriculturist,
    and often in boyhood took loads of grain to
    market for his father, going as far as Lewisburg.
    When a young man he used to come to Nittany
    Valley to assist his brothers who had previously
    located here, and in the spring of 1842 he took
    up his residence upon his present farm in Lamar
    township, Clinton county, living in the same
    house which has since been greatly remodeled.
    and enlarged. The farm at that time was about
    half cleared, and to its further development and
    cultivation he at once devoted his attention, and
    now has one of the most desirable places in the
    locality.
    On February 27, 1842, in Sugar Valley, Mr.
    Brungart was married to Miss Elizabeth Reda-
    bach, who was born January 30, 181 8, in Brush
    Valley, the daughter of Peter and Elizabeth
    (Miller) Redabach. She died July 25, 1883, and
    was laid to rest in Cedar Hill cemetery. She
    left three children, as follows: (1) William L.,
    born December 5, 1842, was educated in the
    common schools, and was a schoolmate of Gov.
    Daniel H. Hastings. He has always engaged in
    agricultural pursuits, and has spent his entire life
    on the home farm. He is a Democrat in poli-
    tics, is a wide-awake and progressive citizen, and
    an excellent farmer. On September 12, 1872,
    he Vvas married, in Lewisburg, Penn., to Miss
    Mary J. Bierly, who was born in April, 1841, a
    daughter of Melchoir and Catharine (Gephart)
    Bierly. There were only two children in her
    father's family who reached years of maturity,
    the other being Charles Bierly, a resident of
    Rebersburg. William L. Brungart and wife
    have one son — Charles A., born October 14,
    1874, and still at home. (2) Jacob E., the sec-
    ond son of our subject, was born August 26,
    1846, and is now engaged in clerking in Hughes-
    ville, Lycoming Co., Penn. (3) Mary J., born
    December 12, 1850, is the wife of Rev. A. J.
    Gramley, an Evangelical minister now living in
    Ohio.
    At each Presidential election since attaining
    his majority, our subject has never failed to cast
    his ballot for the Democratic candidate, and he
    has always taken an active and commendable in-
    terest in public affairs. He is a faithful member
    of the United Evangelical Church, and has for
    years served as trustee of the same. Although
    in his youth he had several very severe spells of
    sickness, he is still well-preserved, is quiet and
    unassuming, and has a host of friends and a large
    circle of acquaintances throughout his adopted
    county, who appreciate his sterling worth and
    many excellencies of character.
