D. S. BURGET, one of the enterprising and representative business men of
North Woodbury Township, Blair County, Pa., deals in general merchandise,
lumber, doors,' sash, mouldings, etc., also coal, feed and flour, at
Curryville, Pa., and also carries on a contracting and building business. Mr.
Burget was born in North Woodbury Township, Blair County, May 14, 1856, and is
a son of Adam B. and a grandson of John Burget, who was an early settler in
the county.
     David S. Burget was reared in his native county and attended the public
schools until about fifteen years of age, when he learned the carpenter trade
and has followed the same ever since, expanding into building and contracting
and in 1885 building a planing mill at Curry Station, which he has operated
ever since. He has been a resident of Curry Station since 1877 and his
business interests have been developed here, here he has reared his children
and through the uprightness and usefulness of his own life, has exerted a
beneficial influence on others. Few business men are so highly considered in
their own communities as is Mr. Burget, a man whose word is always as good as
his bond.
     In early manhood, Mr. Burget was married to Miss Sarah Weyandt, of
Bedford County, and nine children have been born to them, six of whom
survive: Ira W.; Flora, the wife of Scott Fluke; William W.; and Anna, Harry
and Elvin. Mr. Burget and family are members of the Church of the Brethren.
He takes no active interest in politics but by his good citizenship assists in 
making his community law abiding and a pleasant village in which to seek a home.
