Narrative

[Excerpt from Christian Metzger: Founder of an American Family 1682-1942, pp175-176.]

E. Waldo E. Schear6 (Lydia Jane Weible5, Frederick Weible4, Nancy Metzger3, Frederick2, Christian1) is Professor of Biology and Geology at Otterbein College, Westerville, Ohio. He has held this chair since 1912, when his Alma Mater invited him to succeed the previous incumbent, his own personal friend. At the time he was teaching Science and Mathematics in Westfield College at Westfield, Illinois, where he began his teaching career after being graduated from Otterbein College in 1907.

Since he has been the incumbent of this Professorship at Otterbein College he has earned two higher degrees: From Columbia University, M.A . 1915. From Ohio State University (Columbus) Ph.D. 1928.

He is the author of two scientific publications: (1) "Content of Sugar in Blood of Cats under Influence of Cocaine." (2) "Concentration of Sugar in Blood of Mus Norwegious Albinos (white mice) Under Different Environmental Temperatures."

He holds membership in many learned and scientific Societies. Among them are the Feloow of the Amer. Assn. for the Advancement of Science; Fellow of the Academy of Science; Life Member N.E.A.; Amer. Ornithologists' Union; Amer. Genetic Assn.; Amer. Museum of Natural History; Natl. Assn. of Biol. Teachers; Amer. Soc. of Entomologists; Amer. Public Health Assn.; Ohio Arch. and Hist. Society; Sigma Psi; and others of more local membership.

He was delighted to receive from the author of this History, less than ten years ago, the record of service of our ancestor, Frederick Metzger, in the American Revolution. He immediately joined the S.A.R. and became active in the Benjamin Franklin Chapter at Westerville, Ohio. He was made President, 1941, and this sumemr (1941) under his leadership, B.F. Chapter entertained the National Convention at Westerville in a grand manner.

He is a leader and multiple-office holder in the First United Brethren Church of Westerville. He has gone in for the Lodges of the Masonic order being Past Master Blendon Lodge #339 F.&A.M.; Past High Preist Horeb Chapter #3 R.A.M.; Past Illustrious Master Zabud Council #99 R.&S.M.; Member Mt. Vernon Commandery #1 Knights Templar.

Mrs. Edward W.E. Schear, in her ancestral line, returns to both Henry Kumler, and Andrew Zellar, co-workers and friends of Bishop Christian Newcomer. Both are recorded in his "Journal" as active in founding the United Brethren Church. Her grandfather, Solomon Zellar, was College Pastor for some years at Otterbein University.

Evan Weible, who is the 7th generation from Christian Metzger, the Founder, was graduated from H.S. 1940. He entered Otterbein College as a pre-medical student, September, 1940. He is an Eagle Scout.
