DAVID B. WETHERBEE, carpenter, P.O. Centreville, was born February 1, 1834, in Washington County, N.Y., son of Franklin and Melissa (Bosworth) Wetherbee. Our subject was educated principally in the schools of Rome Township, and from the practical experiences of life. He was married, September 10, 1856, to Penila Hall, a native of Great Bend Village, Susquehanna Co., Penn. To this union were born the following named children: Alphonzo (deceased), Lizzie, Elmer L., Effie (now Mrs. Thomas, of Corry, Penn.), and Artie. The family are members of the Baptist Church. During the Rebellion Mr. Wetherbee enlisted in the One Hundred and Fiftieth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and after nine months received an honorable discharge February 10, 1863, on account of disabilities. He was a brave and faithful soldier. After his return from the war he engaged for a few years in oil refining, but has since devoted his energies to his trade. He is now principally engaged in rig-building in the oil regions. Mr. Wetherbee is a citizen of much influence and usefulness in this community.
