Description
Portrait of John William Sheetz and his wife, Johanna (Rosenberger) Sheetz when they were young.
John grew up in Calvary, near Woodstock, the son of Daniel Haun Sheetz (1842-1899) and Lydia (Phillips) Sheetz (1841-1897). He was a lifelong farmer and orchardist.
He married Johanna Rosenberger in October 1890. Johanna was the daughter of Joseph (1816-1908) and Margaret A. (Kibler) (1832-1921) Rosenberger.
In the 1900 and 1910 censuses, the couple lived in the Stonewall District of Shenandoah County and had no children. They had both finished the 7th grade. A young orphan, Edith Reedy (born ca 1897), lived with them as a child, but by 1940, the couple lived by themselves.
Johanna survived her husband by many years and both are buried together in the Calvary Church Cemetery near Woodstock.
