General Notes: Husband - Robert Beerly

---

He chose the occupation of wagon-making, which trade he learned under his father's able direction, and in the district schools he obtained his literary education, which was somewhat meagre, he being the oldest son, and obliged to assist in the support of the family. He continued with his father until his marriage, when he removed to Milesburg, where, for five years, he worked for Jonathan Bullock, and then returned to Boggs township, and there, for twenty-one years, carried on operations at his father's old plant. In 1890, however, he erected a steam factory, which he then successfully operated with the assistance of his two sons, Albert and Ellis, and enjoyed a large and lucrative patronage. He had the most complete wagon factory in the county, and for nineteen years or more was also engaged in the manufacture of cider.
He was elected to several township offices, but declined to accept, as political distinction had no attraction for him. For many years he was a Republican, but later he affiliated with the Prohibition party. His religious views were those of the Presbyterian Church, but he was connected with no Church organization. A man of fine musical talent, he won several prizes at musical contests, and was a prominent member of a band and an excellent orchestra.
