General Notes: Husband - John Spiker

---

He and his wife were born in Bavaria, Germany, where they grew to maturity and married. He was a farmer, and in 1831 they emigrated to America with their family, having just enough money to enable them to reach Butler County, Pennsylvania. They were thrifty and industrious people, and in the course of time amassed a sufficient capital to enable them to purchase a farm in Oakland township, on which they resided until death, at which time they were in very comfortable circumstances. They had been obliged to endure the numerous hardships of the early pioneers, lived in a log cabin which they erected themselves, but were a contented and happy people.
