    C. F. SEIBERT, of Mt. Holly Springs, one of the leading men of his
  vicinity, is a son of William Seibert, Jr., and grandson of William Seibert,
  Sr. The latter was born in Cumberland county, and was a railroad man on the
  Cumberland Valley railroad, becoming a man of some prominence in his
  locality. The children born to himself and wife were: William, father of our
  subject; John; Jacob; Adam; Conrad; Nettie; Elizabeth; Mary Jane; and Emma.
  The death of William Seibert, Sr., occurred in Chambersburg, Pa., when he was
  seventy-three years of age. His wife died about 1884, at the same city.
 
    William Seibert, Jr., was born at Chambersburg, Pa., in 1841, and also
  followed railroading. After marriage, he moved to Dillsburg, York county, and
  still makes that place his home, having charge of the roundhouse at
  Bridgeport, Pa., he being a very capable and trustworthy man. In 1866, he
  married Mary Ripper, of Germany. Five children have been born to them: John,
  a Lutheran minister in Nebraska; Annie, married to John S. Kapp, and living
  at Dillsburg; George, living at Dillsburg; William, at Waynesboro, Pa.; and

    C. F. Seibert was born at Dillsburg in 1879, and was educated in the
  schools of his native place, attending until he was sixteen years of age,
  when he went to a commercial college for two years. At the expiration of his
  business course, he returned to Dillsburg, and thence in 1900, he removed to
  Mt. Holly Springs, to embark in a mercantile line, he opening a general store
  at No. 323 Baltimore avenue. His store is heavily stocked, and he does a
  thriving business, numbering among his patrons the very best people of the
  town. Not only is his stock excellent, but Mr. Seibert thoroughly understands
  catering to his trade, and his business methods are strictly honorable, while
  his prices are as low as is consistent with the quality of his goods.
 
    Like the other members of his family, Mr. Seibert is a member of the
  Lutheran Church, and a Democrat. Fraternally he is a member of the Red Men
  and Junior Order of United American Mechanics of Mt. Holly Springs. Although
  a young man, Mr. Seibert has already firmly established himself, and proved
  that he is a man of energy, ambition and public spirit, and just the right
  kind to make a community prosper.
