General Notes: Husband - Christian B. Haag

---

He spent his boyhood on the home farm but later learned the carpenter's trade and followed that for many years. In 1876 he moved into Troutville, Pennsylvania, where he lived ten years, afterwards residing ten years on the farm and then returning to Troutville, where he had a fine residence and office adjoining. He went into the undertaking business in 1878, having received his diploma in embalming at the Pittsburg College of Embalming, where he returned several times in order to take post graduate work. He was continuously engaged in this work for a period of 33 years or more. He was well equipped, having a handsome black funeral car and a team of horses that were very generally admired, being well matched blacks, with white star foreheads.
He and his family belonged to the Lutheran church. In his political views he was a Democrat but he never accepted any public office other than school director. He was a very active member of Mingle Lodge, No. 753, at Troutville, for many years and belonged also to the auxiliary society, the Rebeccas, and in 1910 he was sent as a representative to the Grand Lodge at Williamsport, which was considered a signal honor.
