General Notes: Husband - Emmanuel P. Weinschenk

---

He was reared and educated in his native township, attending the Lincoln school, and, later, the New Castle Business College. He learned market gardening under his father, for whom he worked until 1905, at which time he inherited his present farm of thirty acres. When he became possessed of the property there were almost three acres more, which were taken by the Allegheny & Western Railroad. All but about half an acre was under cultivation, being devoted to the usual table vegetables, such as lettuce, beets, cabbage, onions, parsnips, rhubarb, asparagus, tomatoes, spinach, and radishes. His early lettuce and cucumbers were raised in a greenhouse, 226x60 feet, which he built in 1905. In 1907 he built an addition of 112x26 feet. His business requires about ten hands on an average during the summer. In 1905 he built a residence, a tasteful structure with eight commodious rooms. He also erected a boiler-house, 30x32 feet in dimensions. Mr. Weinschenk's industry and thorough knowledge of his business made him one of the prosperous and independent citizens of his township. In politics he paid no strict regard to party lines, but voted for the candidate who, in his opinion, was the best qualified to fill the office. The family were members of the Savannah Methodist Episcopal Church.
