General Notes: Husband - Jacob Weirich
Late in the 1700s the ancestors of the Weirich family came to America from Germany, and located in eastern Pennsylvania.
He was born in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, and there passed the first few years of his life. At an early age he accompanied his parents westward, settling with them on the original Weirich homestead in Washington County, where the remainder of his long life was spent. The county was then little more than a wilderness.
In the spring of 1885, while still active and apparently hale and strong, Mr. Weirich was
stricken with paralysis, from the effects of which he died later that year, at the advanced age of eighty-one. In his life Mr. Weirich, though singularly quiet and unobtrusive, was yet a man of broad views and unselfish aims. In his occupation he had, from small beginnings, reached independence and prosperity. He united with the East Buffalo Presbyterian Church. Regarding his political views, Mr. Weirich was first a Whig, afterward a Republican, but always refrained from participating actively in political affairs.
