General Notes: Husband - Balthaser Fasenmyer

---

He was a soldier in his native land, serving under Napoleon; was captured and confined on the Island of Galarera, but escaped and returned to his home. He emigrated to the United States in the year 1828, locating in Washington township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. He married in his native land and was the father of seven children, the first four born in Baden, Germany, the others in Washington township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania.

He was born, reared and educated in Baden, Germany, and for seven years was a soldier in Napoleon's army, during which time he took part in a number of great battles. He witnessed the burning of Moscow, Russia, and was with the army on their retreat from that city. He participated in one battle where 32,000 were taken prisoners, and being among the number he was sent to the island of Cabrera, where he enlisted in the English navy. However, he soon deserted, and after many hardships he at last reached his native village. Although he endured all the privations and sufferings in common with the soldiers of Napoleon's army, he greatly admired and loved that general for his great qualities as a soldier and commander.
In 1828, he and his wife, with their four children, sailed for the New World. After a long and tedious voyage they reached New York in safety, and there purchased a horse, which they hitched to the little German wagon brought with them and proceeded on their journey. Arriving in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, they located in the woods near Fryburg, where a log cabin was erected in true pioneer style. They comprised one of the six families then living in Washington township. Most of the land was yet in its primitive condition, and wild animals of several kinds were still quite numerous.
He was a man of fine physique, strong and robust, honest and industrious. A devout Catholic, he assisted in the erection of the first church of that denomination in his locality, and served as trustee of the same for a number of years. He could relate many interesting incidents connected with his service in the Napoleonic wars. [CBRCP-CCJC, 1426]
