GEORGE SEIBERT

Seibert's Garden, one of the most popular resorts near Wheeling, is 
owned and managed by George Seibert, a well-known young man, who is a 
native of Ohio county.  His father, Conrad Seibert, a native of 
Germany, was married in that country to Catherine Zeigler, and they 
afterward came to the United States in 1856.  He was a bookbinder by 
trade, but on coming to this country engaged in the business of paper 
hanging at first, and subsequently started a dairy, which he managed 
for eleven years.  He then embarked in the ice trade which he 
followed for thirteen years, finally turning the business over to his 
two sons.  George remained in the ice business five years, and then 
rented the place where he now is, from his father, erected a handsome 
establishment, beautified the grounds and has made it a very 
attractive sopt.  It is in great favor, and its management by Mr. 
Seibert leaves nothing to be desired.  Mr. Seibert was born at 
Wheeling, October 1, 1862.  On March 31, 1887, he was married to 
Elizabeth Schuman, daughter of Frederick Schuman of Wheeling, born 
February 7, 1863.  To this marriage have been born two children:  
Harry Leroy, born January 16, 1888, died July 14, 1888, and Archie, 
born February 25, 1889.  Mr. Seibert is a member of St. John's church 
of Wheeling.
