CHARLES SEIBERT

Charles Seibert, a leading ice-dealer of Wheeling, who resides at Elm 
Grove, was born February 12, 1858, the son of Conrad and Catherine 
Seibert, of whom mention is made elsewhere (below).  Mr. Seibert 
received his early education at Beech Glen school, and attended St. 
Vincent's college one year.  He then took a business course at 
Frazier's Business college, where he was graduated in 1874.  On 
leaving school he became general superintendent and book-keeper for 
his father, and a little later, in 1885, he and his brother purchased 
the ice business from the father, and managed it in partnership until 
1888.  In the latter year Charles Seibert purchased his brother's 
interest and he has since managed the business alone, and he has a 
prosperous and lucrative trade.  Mr. Seibert was married November 22, 
1882, to Otillie Schaefer, a native of Germany, who at the time of 
her marriage resided in Iowa.  Three children have been born to them: 
Albert W.,  born November 5, 1883; George, born October 22, 1885; and 
Rhea, born April 10, 1889.  Mr. and Mrs. Seibert are members of St. 
John's Protestant church, and are held in high esteem by their many 
friends.
