General Notes: Husband - Edward Warren Kamerer

---

After spending two years in the city high school, at the age of fourteen he commenced to clerk in the grocery of Houser and Morehead. He then learned the machinist’s trade and for seven years was identified with the old Hodge Manufacturing Company and with the B. & L. E. R. R. shops, and subsequently opened a grocery on the site of his father’s pioneer house. He was prominent as a Mason and had an active connection with the Elks and Odd Fellows, his identification with these fraternal orders being as follows: He was a member of Eureka Lodge No. 290, A. F. & A. M., of Greenville; past high priest of Mound Chapter No. 212, R. A. M.; member of Hiram Council No. 45, New Castle, Pennsylvania; eminent commander of Mount Calvary Commandery No. 67, K. T., and member of Zem Zem Temple of the Mystic Shrine, Erie, PA. In the B. P. O. E. he was the esteemed loyal knight in Greenville Lodge No. 145, and in the I. O. O. F. belonged to Alhambra Lodge of that borough. His Republicanism was of the stalwart and aggressive order, and in 1906 was elected to a seat in the city council, serving as president pro tem of that body in 1907. In adhering to the faith of the Reformed church he followed in the footsteps of many generations of the Kamerer family, one of his most treasured heirlooms was a family Bible printed at Leipzig in German (edition 1729). It was five inches thick, sixteen inches long, eleven inches wide, and weighed nineteen pounds.
