BIOGRAPHICAL AND PORTRAIT CYCLOPEDIA
AARON SHERBINE, a self-made man and prosperous farmer of near Wilmore, is the eldest of the five sons of Daniel and Annie (Crum) Sherbine, and was born in Summerhill (now Croyle) township, Cambria county, Pennsylvania, April 20, 1832. The Sherbines are of German ancestry, and most of the early members of the family in this country were members of the Lutheran church. The immigrant ancestor, Daniel Sherbine, was a strict Lutheran, and came to Pennsylvania before the Revolutionary War, in which he subsequently served as a Continental soldier. His son, Philip, was a native of Pennsylvania, and a miller by trade. He left Somerset county about the commencement of the present century, and settled in the vicinity of Johnstown. He was a lutheran and a democrat, and married a Miss Rummel, by whom he had ten children: Daniel, Mrs. Elizabeth Cole, Mrs. Margaret Gochnour, Mrs. Nancy Fishel, George, Jacob, Conrad, David, Mrs. Phoebe McCreery and Mrs. Christina Gochnour. Daniel Sherbine, the eldest son, was born in
Somerset county in 1812, and died in the city of Altoona in June, 1887. He was a miller by trade, but in middle life purchased a farm in Croyle township, and dealt to some extent in lumber in Summerhill township. He was an earnest Lutheran, and supported the Democratic party until the whigs went to pieces, and then became a republican. He was a careful business man, and a much-respected citizen. Mr. Sherbine married Annie Crum, a daughter of Evan Crum, a native of Maryland and a resident of Croyle township. To Mr. and Mrs. Sherbine were born nine children, five sons and four daughters: Aaron; Philip, now deceased; George, a farmer of Summerhill township; Sarah, wife of Clarence Gonsaulus, of Altoona; Mary, who married John England, of Altoona; Catherine, wife of George Treese, of Gallitzin; Matilda, and Isaiah, who is engaged in farming in Summerhill township.
Aaron Sherbine was reared on the farm, and carefully trained to all kinds of agricultural work in a day when machinery to lighten and save manual labor was but little known. He received his education in the common schools, and has followed farming all his life. In 1856 he rented his present farm, which he purchased in 1870. His farm of two hundred and sixty acres is highly productive and well improved, and underlaid with coal. In connection with farming, he was engaged for several years in the lumber business. Mr. Sherbine is a member of Lodge No. 537, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Wilmore, of which he is past grand, and has served continuously as treasurer since 1873, and has represented it as a delegate to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania five different times. He is a staunch republican in political affairs, and has served his township as supervisor for one term, as school director for two terms, and as justice of the peace one term of five years. He has fought the battle of life successfully in his chosen occupation of farming, where he has been successful in making a comfortable home for himself and acquiring a competency.
On October 16, 1853, Aaron Sherbine was united in marriage with Caroline Crum, whose father, Ephraim Crum, was a resident of Croyle township. To their union have been born nine children, who grew to maturity: Milton A., an engineer, and resided at Summerhill; Samuel, Charles, Grant and George Lee, who are now dead; Lucy and Emma, at home; Joseph, deceased; and Lyman, who is successfully engaged in agricultural pursuits in Croyle township.
