on at Morrisdale Mines, Clearfield county, Pa., is manager of the Morrisdale Supply Company's store and has had
considerable training along commercial lines. He was born December 18, 1878, at Muffin, Muffin county, Pa., a son
of Rev. G. D. and Nettie (Black) Penepacker.
Rev. G. D. Penepacker was born at Lewistown, Pa., and for forty four years he was actively engaged in the ministry
of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was a member of the Central Pennsylvania Conference. At the time of his death,
which occurred on January 7, 1911, in his seventieth year, he was pastor of the Fifteenth Street M. E. church,
at Huntingdon, Pa., and formerly had been stationed at Clearfield. He married Nettie Black, who survives him. She
was born at Huntingdon, Pa. Seven children were born to the above marriage and there are three now living, namely:
Wilbur F., who is connected with the wholesale dry goods house of J. V. Farwell & Co., Chicago, Ill., married
Martha Bartell; Nettie, who is the wife of James L. Curtin, residing at Russelton, where Mr. Curtin is manager
