General Notes: Husband - Felix Burkholder


His father being in comfortable circumstances, he was provided with fair educational advantages, but generally attended schools where only German was taught.
After his marriage they began their domestic life in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in milling for a number of years. In the spring of 1840 the family migrated to Centre County, traveling by boat through the canals to Lewistown, and thence by wagon to their destination. Mr. Burkholder rented what was known as the Red Mill in Potter township, which he successfully conducted until the spring of 1860, when he purchased the William Milligan farm near Centre Hill, and turned his attention to agricultural pursuits for the first time, having engaged in milling for over thirty years with good success. Upon that farm he spent his remaining days, dying on the 7th of May, 1883, and now lies buried in the cemetery of Tusseyville. His wife, who survived him for some time, passed away July 26, 1893, and was laid to rest by his side.
