General Notes: Husband - Robert Zediker

---

He was born on the old family homestead, where he was early inducted into the multifarious duties of farm life. He attended the common schools of the district, and was regarded as one of the most apt scholars of his section.
After marriage he and his wife took up their residence on the home farm, on which they made material improvements, building two commodious dwellings; the one in which they resided was erected in 1885.
A zealous and enthusiastic Republican, Mr. Zediker was for many years one of the leaders of the party in his section, and he took a deep interest in educational affairs, in connection with which he did much to elevate the standard of instruction, and for a long period served as director of schools. Mr. Zediker, through his liberality and influence, was a major factor in getting the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad through his locality, giving the right of way, and donating grounds for the station.
