General Notes: Husband - Edwin S. Bierly

---

A few years after his birth his parents moved on a farm two miles southwest of Rebersburg, Pennsylvania, where his early boy­hood was spent. After attending the schools of Brush Valley he in 1888 spent one winter term at Central Pennsylvania College with his brother Elmer. Here he completed the junior year of the Elementary (Normal) Department with the class of 1891. Being unable to pursue his stud­ies until January of 1891, he then was admitted into the Junior class of the State Normal at Lock Haven. At the middle of the spring term he was compelled to leave the Normal through sick­ness (the measles) contracted through a chum. He then returned to Central Pennsylvania Col­lege, and completed the “Elementary (Normal) Course” with the large class of 1892. After attending Central Pennsylvania College sev­eral more terms as a student of the scientific course, he, on the following year, entered Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA, where he remained during the winter term of 1895; but had to leave college on account of sickness before the expiration of the college year. He then remained at home the greater part of the year on ac­count of sickness and then entered Dickinson Seminary at Williamsport; but after being there six weeks he was again compelled to leave school through lack of health. Shortly afterward he was appointed general book agent for the “Minter Book Company”, Harrisburg, PA, and was quite successful in this work in the summer of 1896. The year following his marriage he and his wife spent with his parents until January, 1898, when he regained his health and returned to Dick­inson Seminary as a student of the Theological Department.
In politics, he too was a “chip off the old block” namely a Democrat. He was a member of the M. E. Church, and always took an active part in Church work at Kreamerville, his home church, as one of the principal officials.
