Limber, John C.

JOHN C. LIMBER, grocer, Meadville, was born May 2, 1852, in Meadville, Penn., and is a son of T. J. and Angeline (Kincaid) Limber, natives of Pennsylvania, of English descent. His father, who was a tailor by trade, was born in this county in 1807, and was a son of John Limber, a farmer and early pioneer of this county. Our subject’s parents had a family of six children, of whom three are now living. John C. Limber, who was the third child in the family, acquired his education in the high school and Commercial College of Meadville. He then embarked alone in the grocery business, but in 1872 took in as partner George S. Shattuck, which partnership existed for eighteen months, when Mr. Limber continued alone for two years. In 1876 he formed the partnership with Daniel Veith which has existed ever since, under the style of Veith & Limber. They conduct two stores in different parts of the city. Mr. Limber was married in 1879, to Della J., daughter of the late Alexander Davis, who was a farmer. They have one child—Evelyn Belle.
