General Notes: Husband - Abner Middleswarth

---

In his youth he learned the tanner's trade at Beavertown, Pennsylvania, under Henry Dreese. After working for three or four years at this business he engaged in milling above Beavertown, continuing about eight years. In 1847 he removed to a farm near Troxelville belonging to his father, but subsequently he located on what was known as the "paper-mill property " above Adamsburg. His last years were spent in the same vicinity in the little town called Peola, which he named. He was a leading Republican, and at times held office, but was not a seeker after political honors. In religious faith he was a Lutheran, and for many years he served as deacon in the Church.
