JASON K. EABY, who is a general merchant at Intercourse, Lancaster county, where he is at the present time the capable and popular postmaster, was born in this village, Jan. 10, 1840, a son of Moses and Susannah (Kurtz) Eaby, born in Leacock and Salisbury townships of Lancaster county, respectively. The Eaby family is descended from Theodorus Eaby, who came from Switzerland in 1715.
Moses Eaby was born and reared a farmer, and followed that calling until 1834, when he turned to a mercantile career, and established the Eaby store in Intercourse, which is now in the hands of his son, Jason K. He retired in 1878, having served the community as postmaster many years. During his active life he held various local and town offices, having been school director, auditor and town clerk. Much confidence was felt in his integrity and business ability, and he was often called upon to administer extensive estates. At his death, Feb. 23, 1892, he was eighty-nine years and three months old. His wife passed to her rest in June, 1882, at the age of sixty-five years. They were both buried in the Eaby cemetery in Upper Leacock township. Born to this union were the following children: Mary Ann, who died in 1893, married Amos Oberholtzer; Elizabeth died young; Jason K.; Amanda married Dr. S. R. Sample, of Leacock township; Henry C., who married Anna Kendig, died at the age of forty-nine; Jacob, who married Lucy Murr, is a farmer in Salisbury township; Emma married Samuel Showalder, a farmer of Earl township, and David and Christian both died Young. The parents were of the Dunkard faith.
Jacob and Susannah (Miller) Eaby, the grand- parents of Jason K. Eaby, were good farming people of Lancaster. The maternal grandfather of Jason K. Eaby was Christian Kurtz, a farmer, who married a member of the Weaver family.
Jason K. Eaby was married Nov. 27, 1867, in Providence township, to Amanda Zook, and the children born to this union were: Willard G., who married Eliza Musser, and is now in business with his father in Intertourse; J. Franklin, who died young; Joseph P., who died at the age of twenty-two years; and Roscoe and Paul M., who are both at home with their parents. Mrs. Amanda (Zook) Eaby was born in Leacock township, Oct. 1, 1848, the only child of Joseph and Frances (Dieffenbaugh) Zook, natives of Leacock and East Lampeter townships, respectively, the former of whom was born in 1821, and is now a retired farmer in Intercourse, while the latter was born in 1811.
Jason K. Eaby remained at home attending the local schools, and when he was sixteen years of age was taken into his father's store. From 1866 he was associated with his father as a partner for twelve years, and when that gentleman gave up active work on account of the increasing infirmities of age the management of the store passed into the hands of the son, who has continued the business to the present time. Mr. Eaby is a Republican, and has been town clerk for twenty-five years. He has been postmaster since 1874, with the exception of the two administrations of President Cleveland. His standing in business is very good, and he is a director of the New Holland National Bank, which he helped to organize. Mr. Eaby has also been a director in the Lancaster County Bank since 1883, and is secretary and a director of the Pennsylvania State Building and Loan Association, in the organization of which he was very active. He is a man of sterling worth and genuine manliness.
