General Notes: Husband - Daniel Fiedler


He was a native of Brandenburg, Saxony, Germany, and immigrated to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, about 1798. About the year 1803 he was induced by Dr. Muller to come to Butler County. He set­tled on the site of Zelienople, just below where the stone Lutheran church would later stand. He was a shoemaker, but after coming to Zelienople he worked for Dr. Muller at his furnace for a number of years. He then purchased a farm of 140 acres, where Jacob Gutenkunst later resided, in Jackson township, which he cleared up and lived on until 1839, when he sold it and removed to Harmony, Butler County, November 21, 1840.
He was a man of fine education, and one of the most intelligent Germans of his locality. He was a member of the Lutheran church, one of the founders of that denomination at Zelienople, and did much towards the erection of the old stone building at Zelienople. He was also one of the early elders of the church. Though a Democrat in politics, he cast his last vote for Harrison, in 1840.
