General Notes: Husband - John Wetzel


In the public schools of Snyder County, Pennsylvania, he secured a good education, and on leaving the school room learned the carpenter's trade with Jacob Gildron, of Turburtville, Northumberland County. At the age of twenty-two he came to Bellefonte, and after made his home in Centre County with the exception of about four years and one-half. In 1852 he removed to Snow Shoe, where the following three years were passed, and then emigrated to Cedarville, Stephenson County, Illinois. In the fall of 1859, however, he returned to Centre County. Until 1876 he was a resident of Bellefonte, where he followed contracting and building, but in that year removed to a farm in Spring township.
