He received his elementary education in the district schools of Maryland and at twenty years of age entered Marshall college at Mercersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. This college was moved three years later to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and Prof. Remsberg was a member of the first class that graduated from it at Lancaster. After graduating in 1853 he taught for three years in the Mercersburg High school. In 1856 he made an extensive tour through the west. Returning home he became principal of Middletown academy which position he held for four years.

He next served three years as bookkeeper for Jacob Goehring. In 1865 he was elected justice of the peace, and served at least five consecutive terms of five years each in that office and beginning in 1869 gave his entire attention to his office duties and conveyancing and collecting. Mr. Remsberg was a member of the Chosen Friends and the Reformed church. He was a republican and served as burgess, councilman and school director of Irwin.
