General Notes: Husband - Horace E. Sheibley


He received his preparatory education in the Bloomfield Academy, and worked for his father in the office of the Advocate and Press, thoroughly learning the printer's trade. He matriculated at Franklin and Marshall College, and graduated from there in 1882 with signal honor. Leaving college, he became associated with his father in the publication of the People's Advocate and Press, and as his father advanced in years he gradually shifted the burdens of management and editorship onto the shoulders of his son. On the death of Mr. Sheibley, Sr., in 1900, he, with his brother, became owner of the plant, and conducted it under the name of Sheibley Brothers. He succeeded his father as a director of the Perry County Railway Company, and of the First National Bank, and also became a director in the Carlisle Trust Company. He was a Republican; was a delegate to the Chicago Republican convention in 1904; was county chairman of the Republican committee, and was also a member of the Republican state committee for several years. He served as school director for twenty consecutive years, during which time he was also secretary. He was a member of the Reformed church, while his wife was a member of the Presbyterian. He was a Mason, and was affiliated with Adams Lodge, No. 319.
