General Notes: Husband - Philip Gemberling, Sr.

---

He purchased 250 acres of land from his father at $16 per acre, and became one of the leading citizens of his locality, his influence shaping the future of the community in a marked degree. Physically strong and healthy, he was no less vigorous and forceful mentally, but his practical nature found an outlet for its energies in the activities of common life, rather than in the departments of art, literature and science. He died of apoplexy in the eighty-seventh year of his age. He was twice married. By his second wife, with whom twenty-two years of wedded life were spent, he had five sons and four daughters.

He had twenty-one children, three of whom were still living in 1898.
