"Nathan Deibert, father of Allen Joseph Deibert, was born Dec. 29, 1845, on the homestead farm, and obtained his education at Orwigsburg, attending the pay schools. He worked for his father until he attained his majority, and continued to assist him for four years afterwards, though in the meantime he went to live on a tract of twelve acres which he owned, the place where his son Allen now resides. Then he bought some land from the homestead tract, increasing the area of his property to forty-one acres, all of which was cleared and under cultivation. Mr. Deibert continued to operate this tract until his death, which occurred March 31, 1911. He did general farming, and marketed at Pottsville. Diligent, and honorable in all his transactions, he was a creditable member of a family generally known for solid worth, and like his father was a Democrat and a Lutheran, belonging to St. Paul's Church at Orwigsburg. Mr. Deibert married Susanna Gerber, who was born June 22, 1848, daughter of John and Louisa (Bock) Gerber, natives of East Brunswick township, this county. Mrs. Deibert died a few months before her husband, on Sept. 27, 1910, and they are buried in the cemetery of St. Paul's Church.
