"Rev. Elias D. Weigle, A.M., pastor of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheral Church, Littlestown, was born in Butler Township, this county, January 19, 1848, a son of Christian and Elizabeth (Guise) Weigle. Christian Weigle was a farmer, a native of York County, but for upward of fifty years a resident of this county, and died in Tyrone Township, October 2, 1879, aged seventy-two years. His widow, also a native of this county, is still living in Tyrone Township. The subject of this sketch remained with his father until he was twenty-one. He then attended school at Hunterstown for about four months, and on returning home he took charge of the school near his father's where he had formerly been a pupil, and kept it one term. After the close of his school in the spring of 1870, he became a student at the Selingsgrove Missionary Institute, to prepare himself for college. After close application for eleven months he entered the freshman class at the institute, and, during the freshman and sophomore years, he became a tutor there, at the same time keeping up with his studies. In 1873 he entered the junior class of Pennsylvania College, and was graduated there in June, 1875, with the fourth honor of his class. He then accepted the professorship of mathematics and English at the Missionary Institute for one year, and, in the fall of 1876 entered the theological seminary at Gettysburg, and was graduated with his class in June, 1878, having supplied the St. Paul's pulpit at Littlestown from January 20 until September, 1878, when he was ordained and became the regular pastor. While at Pennsylvania College he was a leading spirit in the literary societies, and was one of the orators at the biennial anniversary of the Phrenakosmian Society, of which he was a member February 22, 1874, and is still deeply interested in the college and its affairs, on which he keeps an affectionate eye. He contributes literary articles to the Lutheran Quarterly, and is a regular correspondent for several newspapers. During his ministry at St. Paul's he has also acted as secretary of the West Pennsylvania Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and continues to be a close student and careful reader of the literature of the day. He is at present a director in the seminary, Gettysburg, Penn. Mr. Weigle was married, October 16, 1879, to Hannah Bream, a daughter of William and Harriet Bream, and they have two children: Luther Allen and Harriet E." [11]

"On the 1st of April, 1878, Rev. E.D. Weigle, the present pastor, took charge of St. Paul's Church. It is now believed by a number of the members of St. Paul's church to be the time when it should stand alone, supporting its own pastor, and receiving the entire services of the same. By a resolution of the synod, ... the privilege of being a separate pastorate was accorded this church. ... During the year 1879 a handsome and commodious parsonage was built, on Frederick Street, six doors west of the church, at a cost, including lot, of $3,400...." [13]
