General Notes: Husband - Jacob Eberly

---

He was educated at the schools of the neighborhood, and remained with his parents until his marriage. After his first marriage he located on the home place, and conducted it until 1848, when he took up his residence in Chambersburg for two years. He operated the first steam saw-mill in the county, which he built and owned, and which was situated at the foot of the mountain. He resided at the mill for three years, and in 1853 returned to the home place in Guilford Township, where he then resided, occupying a handsome residence which he erected in 1858. He also owned 190 acres of land adjoining the borough. He and his wife were members of the Lutheran Church, in which he was an officer and elder for many years; he was also an active temperance worker. In politics he was a Republican.

During his younger years, he was a farmer, and resided in Guilford township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, for about twenty years. He built the first steam sawmill in Franklin County, locating it in Hamilton township, near Keefers, and continued in the sawmill business for eight years. His next business was farming near Chambersburg, and he thus continued the remainder of his life. Always taking an interest in educational matters, he acted on the school board for several terms, and he was a stanch Republican. A Lutheran in faith, he was very prominent in Trinity Lutheran Church, and for many years was one of its official board.

He and his wife had ten children, four daughters and two sons were still living in 1887.
