General Notes: Husband - Jacob H. Ziegler


He was reared on the family homestead and educated in the best schools of the neighborhood, remaining at home until his legal majority, when he engaged in farming in Conoy township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, remaining there for four years. Returning to East Donegal, he continued in agricultural operations until 1897, when he removed into Rowenna, having purchased the Conoy Township Creamery, in 1895. This business was established in 1885, by a stock company, and although for some years it prospered, negligence had permitted it to run down, and in 1895 it was sold at public sale, Mr. Ziegler being the purchaser. His judgment told him that if properly handled, the business could be made a paying one, and he proved the truth of his belief.
In politics, he voted independently. For six years he served as school director. He owned one of the most complete private libraries in Lancaster County.
