W. H. SCHIBLEY has for a number of years been cashier and one of the executive officers of the Amherst German Bank Company, is connected as an officer or stock holder with a number of other Lorain County business institutions, and altogether his position as a business man and citizen is one of the most substantial in his community. He has hardly yet reached the meridian of life's activities. With no capital to start with, he has depended on industry, sound intelligence, and a strict probity in all his relations to carry him forward to the goal of success.
He has been cashhier of the Amerst German Bank Company since 1907. This is a bank which deserves some mention in a history of Lorain County finance. The officers and directors are all well known business men, including E. H. Nicholl, president: George Hollstein, vice president; William H. Schibley, cashier; Joseph Wesbecher, Jacob Baus and M. C. Kendeich, directors. The management of the bank has been thoroughly conservative and yet so far as is consistent with sound banking has endeavored to furnish a courteous, helpful and prompt service to its widely extended patronaage. A recent statement show hos the bank has prospered under such a regime. The capital sock is $50,000. and the total resources aggregate approximately $600,000. The best index of a bank's popularity is shown in its deposits, and the Amherst German Bank Company in the spring of 1916 had upwards of $600,000. in its deposit account.
Mr. W. H. Schibley was born at Amherst, Ohio, April 3, 1867. His people on both sides were from the German fatherland, and both his grandfathers fought with the army of Napoleon and participated in that ill-fated campaign into Russia. His paternal grandfather died in 1839 and his maternal grandfather in 1840. Michael Schibley, father of the Amherst banker, was born in Wuertemberg, Germany, in 1826 and died in 1907. He came alone to Pennsylvania when a young man in 1853 and from there went to Huron, Ohio, where he met and married Miss Catherine Brandau, who was born in Hesse, Germany, in 1836 and died in 1914. For several years Michael Schibley paid his way to day labor, and was employed in the construction forces building some of the New York Central lines through Northern Ohio. Afterwards he took up farming and lived on his farm until a few years before his death, which occurred in Amherst. His wife also died there. They were members of the Evangelical Association and he was a democrat in politics. There were five children: George is a farmer in Amherst Township; Christian is also a farmer there; Anna Goll lives at Lorain, Ohio; the fourth in age is W. H. Schibley; and J. H. is a manager of the Amherst Supply Company.
Starting life with a common school education, supplemented with a course in the State Normal School at Ada, Ohio, W. H. Schibley found his first serious occupation in teaching. While following that occupation he attended summer sessions at Oberlin College. Altogether he taught six years in the district schools and had charge of the school system at Amherst for eight years, finallly resigning in 1900 after a most creditable record whether as an individual teacher or as a school executive. On leaving school work he engaged in the grain business with his brother Jacob. This grew into a nourishing enterprise under the direction of the two brothers, and in 1908 their firm was incorporated with a capital stock of $50,000. W. H. Schibley was the first president of the company and he is still a large stock holder. He has stock in a number of different enterprises, and is president of the U. S. Automatic Company of Amherst, and is a director of the local waterworks. For recreation he looks after a small farm and conducts it on scientific principles.
In 1891 Mr. Schibley married Dorothea Ludwig. Her father, Charles Ludwig, was in the stone business at Amherst for a number of years. Mr. and Mrs. Schibley are members of the Evangelical Association, in which he has been trustee for a long time, and also active in Sunday School work. Politically he is a independent. However, he was elected on the democratic ticket to the office of township treasurer.
He was the son of Michael Schibley and Katherine Brandau.
William married Dorothea M. "Dora" Ludwig on 2 May 1891 in Lorain Co., OH. The ceremony was performed by C.F. Braun.
