"ALLEN JOSEPH DEIBERT is engaged in the cultivation of valuable farm land at Orwigsburg which has been owned in his family for three generations, during which time the Deiberts have filled a place among the most substantial and respected citizens of this section of Schuylkill county. Honest, industrious and capable, they have won the esteem of their neighbors in every relation of life by sincere effort, and deserve the high standing they enjoy. Allen J. Deibert is a son of Nathan Deibert and grandson of Joseph Deibert."

"Allen Joseph Deibert, born July 26, 1873, in the borough of Orwigsburg, was reared and educated there, and received his agricultural training principally at home, working for his father until eighteen years old. After that he hired out to other farmers for several years, and then turned to railroad work, entering the employ of the Lehigh Valley Railway Company, by whom he was engaged as section hand for a period of fifteen years. In 1913 he bought his father's farm from the estate, and there he has since carried on general agriculture with steady success. He sells some of his produce in his own borough and some at Pottsville, and finds a ready market for all his crops. Mr. Deibert devotes practically all his time to his own business, but he is always found on the side of progress and local improvement in movements affecting his section. His political support is given to the Democratic party, and his religious connection is with St. Paul's Lutheran Church, the religious home of his family for several generations. Socially he belongs to Industrial Council, No. 437, Order of Independent Americans, of Orwigsburg. Mr. Deibert married Amanda Heim, who was born Feb. 19, 1871, in Pickaway county, Ohio, where she began her schooling. Then the family moved to Chase county, Kans., where she also attended school four years, receiving the rest of her education in West Brunswick township, Schuylkill Co., Pa. She was sixteen years old when she left home, thereafter working out until her marriage. With her husband she belongs to St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Orwigsburg. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Deibert: Nathan Allen, born Feb. 15, 1902; Lillian Amanda, Oct. 22, 1903; Stella Levira, Dec. 12, 1905; Mahlon Edwin, Jan. 6, 1909. All have attended school in Orwigsburg."
