      ELIAS EBY was born Oct. 5, 1836, was reared to farm life and grew up a self-reliant, well-in- formed young man, who at the age of twenty-seven was thoroughly prepared to take charge of large farming operations for himself. Renting a farm in Strasburg township he paid close attention to it and was rewarded by large harvests, and as the years passed by, his means increased, so that in the spring of 1896 he was able to retire from activity. Purchasing a pleasant home in Strasburg, he removed thither and now enjoys life in that pleasant borough.
      On Dec. 1, 1863, he married Mary Ann Buckwalter, a daughter of Benjamin and Susan (Jontz) Buckwalter, who was born in Leacock township, Nov. 7, 1841. Four children have come to bless this union: Enos B., a farmer and implement dealer, whose said death occurred May 19, 1900, at the age of thirty-five years, six months and twelve days, leaving his widow, Lettie (Herr) Eby, with five children: Morris, Ruth, Ralph, Elias and Emma; Anna V., born Aug. 23, 1866, who married Ambrose Erbenshode, resides in Philadelphia and has one daughter, Marion; B. Milton, born Sept. 15, 1867, a resident of Lancaster, who married Bertha Ingram, and has one daughter, Arline; and Harry S., born March 21, 1874, who is in the employ of the Strasburg Railroad Company.
      For many years both Mr. and Mrs. Eby have been devout, generous, efficient and valued members of the Old Mennonite Church and are among the most respected citizens of the township and borough of Strasburg.
