General Notes: Husband - Henry Allebach

---

He received no education except such as the common school of that day afforded. After leaving school he worked in his father's woolen factory until 1821. He then worked two years with his brother at the clock and watch making business.
In the year 1823, he was married, rented his father's factory, and managed it until 1827, when he settled up his business and removed to Reading, the county seat of Berks County, in 1828. There he opened a clock and watch making establishment, and gave the business his whole attention until 1837, when he removed to what was then Beaver township, Venango County, where he resumed his old trade, and in 1840 went to Emlenton, where he still followed the jewelry business until 1874, when the failure of his eye-sight obliged him to retire from that business.
He was never an aspirant for office, consequently never held any of note. He was associated with the corporation of the Emlenton bridge company for over twenty years, at one time acting in the capacity of their treasurer and secretary. [HVC 1879, 548]

His early life was spent in Berks county, Pennsylvania, engaged for a time in a woolen mill, and subsequently at Reading where he followed the jewelry business. In 1837 he removed to Beaver township, Venango county (later made a part of Clarion County), to which place his parents had previously come. There he bought a farm and carried it on for a period of three years. In 1840 he located in Emlenton and engaged in the jewelry business for a number of years. He subsequently went into merchandising, but after four or five years returned to the jewelry line and continued in it until he retired from business in 1872. He and his wife were members of the Lutheran church and among the organizers of the Emlenton congregation. [HVC 1890, 932]

He was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. His early life was spent in Berks County, where he worked in a woolen mill. Later he moved to Reading, where he learned the jeweler's trade and carried on business until 1837, when he moved to Beaver township, Venango county, Pennsylvania, where his parents had preceded him. There he bought a farm on which he resided three years, then sold and moved to Emlenton, Pennsylvania, where he was the first jeweler to locate, having his store on Main street. He continued in business until 1852, when his eyesight failing he turned the business over to his son Levi and for five years engaged in a mercantile business less trying to the eyesight. He then returned to the jewelry business, continuing until his retirement in 1872. At his death he lacked but two years of a half century residence in Emlenton. Both he and his wife were members of the Lutheran church and helped organize the first congregation of that faith in Emlenton. [GPHAV, 339]
