General Notes: Husband - Joseph Yentzer Derr

---

He was reared in Lewisburg, Union County, Pennsylvania, and had more than ordinary educational advantages. He spent his earlier days in a drug store, and was remarkable for his aptness in medicine, and in later years, when he had retired to his farm, he would quit work to visit any sick neighbor and alleviate distress wherever it was found. He always had an ambition for the study of medicine.
In early years he was a Whig politically, and later a Republican.

General Notes: Wife - Mary Jane Kremer

---

He was born in, and lived near, Winfield, Union County, Pennsylvania, until the age of ten years, and afterward in Lewisburg. She was fond of literary pursuits, in which she showed much talent, and was a teacher in the public schools about four years.

Mrs. Mary (Kremer) Derr has now attained the somewhat uncommon age of seventy-eight, and despite this fact is still vigorous, physically and mentally. Her large family received during former years her devoted attention, and now she has the satisfaction of seeing them filling useful and honorable stations in life. She is tall with a finely proportioned frame, and must have been endowed with great physical strength and endurance, while intellectually she is brilliant, and in no way indicating her advanced age. She visits her neighbors and attends to business as in younger days, and her conversation is full of interest. Her memory runs back to the time when all freight was hauled by wagons, and passenger transportation was entirely by stage. There was then no canal in this part of the state, but later she saw the overland system give way to the water routes, and this in turn supplanted by the railroad. [CBRCP-CCUS, 810]
