General Notes: Husband - Simon Kamerer


During his boyhood days he attended the primitive log school-house then standing on his father’s farm, and remained with his parents until attaining his majority. He then began learning the tanner’s trade in Isaac Greenewalt’s tannery, near Greenville, and completed it in a yard opened by his father on the home farm. He operated this yard successfully for twenty-five years, when failing health compelled him to give up the business, and in 1868 he sold out and removed to Greenville. In 1870 he formed a partnership with his son-in-law, Aaron Wagner, under the firm name of Wagner & Kamerer, and began merchandising. He was one of the leading spirits in the erection of the Reformed Church of Greenville, and always took a deep interest in the growth of that society.


General Notes: Wife - Henrietta Saul


Her parents settled about one mile south of Greenville, Mercer County, PA, in 1833.
