General Notes: Husband - Henry Ziegler


He spent his boyhood mainly in Miles township, Centre County, PA, where he at­tended a school of the old-fashioned sort, a quill pen being the only kind used in the writing les­sons. At an early age he showed decided me­chanical genius, working readily at carpentering and wagon-making, but he was not apprenticed to any trade. He remained at home until he was twenty-three years old, the last two years being spent in grubbing, at which he managed to save a little money. In 1851 he took charge of a farm which his father had purchased the year before. For three years his brother William conducted the place alone, and he continued to conduct the farm until 1882, when he moved to a home in Abdera. After that time he was engaged extensively in the lumber busi­ness, beginning by building a sawmill in 1881 on the farm, but after operating it two years, 1883, he transferred his plant to the mountains near Beech creek, where he worked for three years. In 1886 he operated a mill in Sugar Valley, do­ing a large business, but, 1892, he moved the mill to Abdera, and his work was carried on chiefly in the winter season. He owned 170 acres of farm­ing land, and 200 acres of mountain land; his labors rewarded by an abundant share of worldly goods.
