General Notes: Husband - J. Austin Gramly

---

He was born in Miles town­ship, Centre County, PA, and in the schools of the neighborhood began his educa­tion, his first teacher being Samuel Gramly. He completed his literary course in the Rebersburg Academy. He remained on the home farm until thirteen years of age, when he started to learn the blacksmith's trade with Simon Smull, of Madisonburg, receiving only his board in compensation for his services, but after one year he gave this up and later worked at the wagon-maker's trade with Joseph Weber, of Rebers­burg. At the age of twenty he rented his father's farm, and after operating it for two years, he sold off his stock and obtained employment as a carpenter. A natural mechanic, he was able to work at almost any trade, including those of a stone mason and saddler.

The first land which he owned was seventy-five acres known as the old Kleckner farm, which he improved and subsequently sold, but never lived on. Later he purchased fifty acres of the old home farm, and erected all the buildings thereon. There he resided until the fall of 1895 when he came to Rebers­burg to take charge of the “Rebersburg Hotel,” which he thereafter conducted. When a boy he became interested in the stock belonging to his father, and under Dr. Hilbish, who recognized his talent for veterinary surgery, he began the study of that science. During the more than twenty-five years he practiced that profession, he was very successful in his treatment of stock, and his practice covered a radius of twenty-five miles. Of a most generous, kindly nature, he often made no charges when he knew that his patron was in limited circumstances. Politically, he was always identified with the Democratic party, and creditably served as school director of District No. 4, six years, assessor, three years, and was also overseer of the poor, which office was entirely unsolicited by him. He was a charter member of Rebersburg Lodge No. 1031, I. O. O. F. His strict integrity and his honorable, upright life, gained him hosts of warm friends, as well as the confidence of all with whom he has come in contact, and at one time was called upon to act as guardian for fourteen children.
