General Notes: Husband - Hon. John Lobingier
He was a prominent man of his times, was associate judge, member of the Legislature, and justice of the peace. He was twice married, and left a large family. He became totally blind before his death. He died at the age of eighty-two years.
He was born about the year 1770 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, being the third generation of the family in that county. He followed farming and milling for many years, and a number of years prior to his death changed his place of abode to Mount Pleasant. He was one of the associate judges of Westmoreland County. [HWC 1906 ii, 339]
He was a prominent political leader, and public-spirited citizen and a leading business man. He served in the Legislature, was associate judge of Westmoreland County, was engaged in the milling, iron and salt-well business and kept a hotel.[HWC 1906 iii, 298]
He came to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, with his parents when he was five years old. He built the old stone house at Laurelville about 1797, and removed there from Ligonier Valley shortly afterwards. He erected the stone mill which gave the village the name of "Lobingier Mills" in 1801. He engaged in the iron business, controlling several furnaces, and also sank a number of oil wells. He also conducted a hotel.
Laurelville was situated on the Somerset and Mt. Pleasant turnpike. When the company was organized, the Hon. John Lobingier was made its president. Upon this road the town depended for its commercial communications with the other parts of the country until the completion of the railroad which took its place.
He was a member of the Legislature and an Associate Judge of the Court in 1821. He also spoke High German and therefore did much interpeting for the Court.
One of his distinct contributions to public order came during the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794, when he ardently supported the government and used his persusave talents to appease the malcontents.
