General Notes: Husband - Philip Gramley
He was born in the lower end of Brush Valley, Centre County, PA, and was reared as a pioneer farmer's boy, his work necessarily consisting largely of clearing. At eighteen he began to learn the blacksmith's trade in Haines township, Centre County, and later he opened a shop of his own in Rebersburg.
He lived at Rebersburg, PA, until April, 1832, when he moved to a 200-acre tract of land which he had purchased in Sugar Valley, Green township, Clinton County. It was in its primitive condition, with not one stick cut, and there he built a log house for a residence and a shop for his work. He and his wife toiled energetically at the work of clearing and improving the land, and in five years' time had one hundred acres in cultivation; but Mrs. Gramly so injured her health by her labors in burning off the brush that she never recovered. After five years there they returned to Brush Valley and occupied the Francis Gramly homestead, about two miles from Rebersburg, and, later, Philip Gramly purchased the place, and while cultivating it carried on also a blacksmith shop and sawmill. In his day axes and other edge tools had to be made by smiths, and he became an expert in that line. He was an industrious man, and gave his entire attention to his own affairs, taking no interest in politics other than to vote the Democratic ticket regularly. He gave liberally to religious movements, however, and was a prominent member of the Lutheran Church. His success in his varied enterprises enabled him to accumulate a handsome competence, and he left a large estate at his death.
