General Notes: Husband - Adam Endres

---

He was a native of Alsace, Germany, and immigrated to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1837, settling on Brush creek, close to Unionville. About 1860 he removed with his son Adam to Jackson township, Butler County, where he died, aged sixty-eight years.

In 1835 he decided to emigrate to the United States and they set sail from Havre de Grace on a vessel bound for New York, which port they safely reached after a voyage of fifty-two days, and landed at Castle Garden. The objective point was Zelienople, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where other emigrants known to them had already settled. In those days the distance between New York and Butler County was only covered by a long and tortuous route. By steamboat the party went from New York to Albany, from there by the Erie Canal to Buffalo, and from there again by water to Erie, Pennsylvania. At that point there was a wait of nine days before wagons could be secured to transport the travelers to Zelienople. During this time, the father was offered a tract of 106 acres of land for $700, this later became a part of the busiest section of the city of Erie, but advantage was not taken of that offer, the family thereby passing up a fortune. The father finally selected land in Beaver County, about four miles from Zelienople and that remained the family home until the death of his wife. By trade he was a wagonmaker. He was a man of excellent business qualifications and proved himself a great addition to the good citizenship of the section in which he settled, doing all in his power to develop the neighborhood in which he lived and to help those who were less fortunate than himself.
