General Notes: Husband - Rev. Clement Z. Weiser, D.D.
He became widely known as one of the most eloquent and influential ministers in the Reformed Church, Rev. Dr. C. Z. Weiser, of Pennsburg, where he long preached and died. He held highest offices in the Reformed Synod, was in demand as a public speaker and a prolific writer. From his pen came the first "Life of Conrad Weiser," brought out in 1876, by Daniel Miller, Reading, publisher.
The only survivor [1884] of three sons, he was the fourth removed from the renowned and historical Conrad Weiser. He graduated from old Marshall College in 1850, and then acted as German tutor, and subsequently as co-principal over the preparatory department for two years after the removal of the college to Lancaster. Just twenty-five years after graduation Franklin and Marshall College conferred upon him the meritorious title of Doctor of Divinity. He was called to his native place as pastor, and so also was his father, it being the first field of labor for both. Serving in this field as pastor from the time of his ordination until, in 1855, he was called as an assistant to his father in Goshenhoppen, Montgomery County. A fact worthy of note is that Dr. Weiser began his pastoral duties where his father did, and closely followed in his footsteps, each serving but two charges. The congregations at Lancaster, Philadelphia and at several other points placed calls in the hands of Dr. Weiser for his consideration, but he invariably refused to leave his country parish. Here his spare time was zealously devoted to general literature and study. His pen was not idle, and whatever time was allowed him from his pastoral duties was used in the preparation of articles for the Messenger, Guardian, Hausfreund, Reformed Quarterly Review and other publications. Among his literary productions was a "Life of Conrad Weiser." He also devoted much time to the aiding of churches and Sunday-schools by the delivery of lectures.
Dr. Weiser, in 1874, became a member of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. On the occasion of the celebration of the Centennial of Montgomery County he was honored by an invitation to deliver the Centennial oration. He was also chaplain of the Sixth Regiment National Guards of Pennsylvania.
He was the father of three sons and a daughter, all deceased before 1884.
