General Notes: Husband - George Marburger

---

He and his wife bore the same family name but were of no known blood rela­tionship.
He was born in Hessen, Germany, and after the death of his mother came to America with his father and family in 1839. The party consisted of the father and four children.
He served five years in the German army prior to coming to the United States. His first work here was on the canal near Erie, Pennsylvania, which he followed two winters, spending his summers in the har­vest fields. In the meantime he made his home with friends in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, and at the end of the two years located on what became known as the Marburger farm in Forward Township, Butler County. It was in a wild state, heavily timbered and covered with a thick growth of hazelbrush, it having been little touched by the hand of man. His first purchase was 100 acres from Sol­omon Snow, and to this he later added forty acres. He also purchased a tract of ninety acres near Callery. A man of great energy and industry, he cleared his whole property and farmed with success through­out his active career. He survived past the age of ninety-five years, and was in full possession of his mental faculties and of considerable bodily vigor at that age. For some time he was the oldest man in Forward Township, and until the death of his wife, in 1907, at the age of ninety-one years, they had been for some years the oldest married couple liv­ing in Butler County.
