Note of Interest - Per the 1860 and 1870 West Brunswick,
Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania Census,
Catherine (Albright) Seltzer and her two Children, Wesley and Mary are
Residing with her parents, Peter & Magdalena Albright, who are also
the parents of Elizabeth (Albright) Hoy, wife of Henry H. Hoy.
Per the 1900 Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania Census,
Catherine (Albright) Seltzer is 66 years old, widowed and living
with her son and daughter-in-law, Wesley & Joanna (Hoy) Seltzer.
Wesley A. Seltzer was born January 22, 1855, at Drehersville, East Brunswick
township. Being only 4 years old when his father died he was reared by his
grandfather, Peter Albright, meantime attending the public schools of the locality.
He assisted his grandfather with the farm work until he reached his maturity,
and from that time farmed on shares, also conducting a lime quarry. He continued
to carry on his agricultural work in quarrying for twenty-one years in all, and in 1894
removed to Orwigsburg, where he purchased the Jacob Hiest farm, a valuable
tract of 135 acres, included within the borough limits. Under Mr. Seltzer's
management during the twenty years and more of his ownership it has undergone
steady improvement, and is up to date in every respect, having reached a fine
state of cultivation. Mr. Seltzer has erected a house upon the land which he rents.
His time has always been given to business, and he is known as one of the most
progressive agriculturists of his vicinity. He is a director of the South Schuylkill
Fire Insurance Company, which he has been serving as treasurer for some time.
Politically he is a Republican, but has never taken any part in public affairs.
His religious connection is with the Reformed Church.
In 1874 Mr. Seltzer married Joanna Hoy, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Faust) Hoy,
and they are the parents of the following named children: Frank P., now engaged in
farming in North Manheim township, this county; Mary, who lives at home;
Anna, who taught school for a time, now married and living in Orwigsburg;
Catherine, wife of John Williams, living at Pine Grove Furnace, Cumberland County, Pa;
John W., living at Franklin Furnace, N. J.; George I., now in New York State;
Edward, a student at college; and Albert, at home.
