General Notes: Husband - George W. Ziegler
He was educated in the schools of the Leitersburg district, Washington County, Maryland, and at the age of nineteen he entered the store of Charles A. Fletcher, at Leitersburg, where he remained two and one-half years. He was subsequently in a similar capacity in Hagerstown for eighteen months. In 1833, he bought the interest of John G. Miller in the general store of Stonebraker & Miller at Greencastle, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and became the junior member of the firm of Stonebraker & Ziegler. This partnership lasted five years, when Mr. Ziegler bought the interest of his partner and conducted the business alone until 1850. In the latter year he associated with him his brother, David Ziegler. Mr. Ziegler continuing to be a partner until his death. During the entire sixty-four years that he was in business in Greencastle the store was at the north-east corner of the public square in that place. He was for many years a director of the Greencastle, Waynesboro & Mercersburg Turnpike Road Company, and he was one of the founders of the First National Bank of Greencastle, serving as a member of the board of directors from its foundation until his death.
He was an ardent advocate of the adoption of the free school system in Pennsylvania, and was its constant friend after its establishment. For the greater portion of his life he was also the friend of the temperance cause. Although born in a slave State, from early boyhood he firmly stood in opposition to human slavery, and took an active part in the organization of the Republican party. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention that nominated Fremont in 1856.
