General Notes: Husband - Washington Wilfred Fetterman


He was of German descent, but a native of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who in his youth removed to Allegheny County and was married. He had three children by his wife but was then divorced from her.


General Notes: Wife - Hannah Plumer


Her birth took place in the old stone house on the family farm, and she met Mr. Fetterman, when as a very young man he settled in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. After her divorce from Mr. Fetterman, she continued to reside in the old Fetterman homestead with her three children.
She was an extremely capable woman, and of the most enterprising nature. She raised silkworms and hops for the support of herself and her children, and directed the whole family farm with great success.

She had two children with her second husband, both of whom died in early youth.
