General Notes: Husband - John R. Eberly

---

He was given the advantages of a common school education in Guilford township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and a course at Chambersburg Academy, and upon his return home, worked with his father on the farm. Later he engaged in manufacturing bricks for two years at Chambersburg, when he returned to the homestead, and farmed for six years. At the expiration of that time, he bought the Gen. Campbell farm near St. Thomas, comprising 160 acres, a portion of the original Campbell homestead, and this he farmed for thirty-three years. Mr. Eberly then moved to Chambersburg, and spent a year, when he embarked in the fruit-growing business, planting an orchard of 1,000 trees on his farm in 1888, and in the spring of 1889, he planted 1,000 more. In the spring of 1892 he put in 1,200 trees; in the spring of 1893 he put in 500 more, and eventually had 3,700 peach trees. His orchard was one of the first planted for commercial purposes this side of the valley. So successful was he with this fruit, that he proposed putting in a large number of apple trees. He, like his father, served on the school board, and aside from supporting the Republican party, was interested in local politics.

Civil War: He was drawn in the first draft, but paid a liberal sum to a substitute for three years.

He had ten children with his first wife; four died in infancy.
