WILBER Lewis Wilber

died on April 24, 1907, one of the old residents of Bradford County. Lewis Wilber who came to Pennsylvania in 1848, aged 79 years and 7 months. His youth was passed in Williamstown, Ontario Co, NY and when a young man he came to Pisgah, Pa where he passed most of his life in clearing up his Pisgah farm, and doing farm work. His was a very industrious and busy life.   In 1852 he married Susan Ballard, daughter of Ira P. Ballard, who was among the first settlers of Troy. Lewis Wilber was a man who was always respected and loved by all who knew him, and was ever ready with a helping hand for anyone who needed help or encouragement. Tender hearted and obliging to all with whom he associated, trusted by all who knew him, he would often incommode himself for the sake of obliging and helping others. For more than 40 years he was a faithful follower of his Heavenly Master and many can point to his instructions and prayers as a help to them in trying to lead a better life for he was ever faithful to his God, his church and his friends. For some years he had been unable to attend church, but was ever a loving and faithful Christian and he was ready and waiting for the Master’s call to come higher.   He leaves a wife and four children, the oldest, Frederick H, who lives at home with his mother; Alice F, wife of John P DeWitt of Pisgah; Helen S, wife of Sumner Leonard of Alba; and Louis E. of Mainesburg, Pa. "None knew him but to love him None named him but to praise."
