General Notes: Husband - Elias Fetterolf


In the fall of 1848 he began an apprenticeship to the blacksmith's trade with John Kessler, seven miles from Selinsgrove, Snyder County, Pennsylvania, receiving at the end of two years' work the sum of $25.00. In 1850 he went to Potter township, Centre County, and worked “The Loop” as a journeyman blacksmith, and later he was simi­larly employed at Milroy, Troxelville and Laurelton, where he finally engaged in business on his own account. After a year and a half there he moved, in 1853, to Spring Mills, and rented a shop, which he conducted for some time. Two years he then spent in Nittany Valley, Benner township, Centre County, but he returned to Spring Mills later, and after continuing his trade a short time, he decided to give it up and engage in agriculture. The change was made in 1856, Mr. Fetterolf renting a farm in Gregg township, Centre County, from William Allison. As pros­perity smiled on his efforts, he purchased some adjoining land, which he cultivated, while still occupying the other farm as a tenant. In 1886 he sold his property, and, relieved from business, removed to Spring Mills, where he bought a sub­stantial brick residence.
