General Notes: Husband - David L. Zerby

---

For a time, attended the schools of his district. In 1868 he attended the Aaronsburg Academy, and later the academy at Penn Hall. At eighteen he was competent to teach, and undertook the management of the "Mountain School" in Gregg township, Centre County, Pennsylvania. Finding the work congenial, he decided to continue it, and his pronounced success making it an easy matter for him to secure positions, he taught for thirteen years, or twenty-six terms, all but one term being in his native township; six years were spent at Liberty school. He was especially gifted in mathematics, the most difficult problems being solved by him with ease.
After his marriage he made his home in Millheim, and on giving up teaching as a vocation, he entered mercantile life as a clerk for W. K. Alexander in his general store. He remained there some time, and was also employed at odd intervals in the Millheim Bank, in which he took a position as teller in January, 1893.
He was a self-made man, and, although his father assisted him in securing an education, the money was repaid from the earnings of the first term as teacher.
In 1877 Mr. Zerby purchased a residence in Millheim, and extensive improvements made it one of the pleasantest homes in that charming village. The family attended the United Evangelical Church, and all were prominently identified with its activities. Mr. Zerby was a trustee and steward, and for many years was superintendent of the Sunday-school. In political affiliations he is a Democrat. He was the first burgess of the borough, and served on the school board, while in May, 1889, and again in 1894, he was elected justice of the peace.
He was a charter member of Providence Grange at Millheim, was its secretary some twelve years, and its master.
