My Grandfather is Harold Jennings Zerbe, he went by Jim. He lived in clinton county PA,
but I am not sure if he was born in that county or not. His Fathers name was Lewis Grant
Zerbe, and Mother was Alma Grugan. Lewis Grant Zerbe was born in Shamokin, Northumberland
county. I am not sure of this, but he was in the census at about the right age. I do not
have my papers with me as I right this, and I am sorry. I am getting ready for surgery on
Wed. which will have me laid up for a while. So at this time I am going from the top of my
head. Will get the dates and such together when I will be able to do so and send to you.
Harold Jennings Zerbe, my grandfather Had a brother and 2 sisters. This is all I am aware
of. I knew them all personally except for the youngest sister, who died before I was born.
Harold was born Dec. 24/25th 1899. I am not sure of other B-days, But his Brother's
name was Chester, a sister Mary, who just died a year ago this past New Year she was
105/106. He !
also had a younger sister whose name I cannot remember, died very young after giving
birth to my cousin James Krebs. My Grandfather Harold (jim) and grandmother Iola Swinter
raised him as there own, so I always called him Uncle Jimmy. Harold (Jim) and Iola only
had two children of their own. My Mother Evelyn E. (Betty) Zerbe Ray, and Leona M. Zerbe
Chase. They grew up around Renovo, Farwell, and Northbend PA.
Iola Swinter was born in Jersey Shore PA.
If you have any other questions please write me, and I should be back on computer with-in
a month. Sorry but, I am having a left total hip replacement and I also have 5 herniated
lumbar discs. So it will be longer than I would like to get back on computer. Hope this
info helps, sorry it could not be more at this time. Later Toni
