General Notes: Husband - Frederick Eberhart
From Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, he moved to Mercer County toward the close of the eighteenth century. At a very early day he started a pottery in West Salem Township, and carried it on to the time of his death.
He was a soldier in the War of 1812.
Soon after marriage he moved to near Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits for a number of years. He then owned a stone quarry, and was unfortunate enough to have one of his arms ground to small pieces between two large sliding stones, so that it was necessary to amputate the arm at the shoulder. After this he engaged in selling goods and "Yankee notions," and also taught German school.
He was a member of the Lutheran Church, and for many years led the singing in the congregation. He had an excellent voice and was very fond of singing. ". . . he was proud of his musical talents. When quite a boy I recollect of hearing him tell how he used to take his "bitters," a common thing in those days, before going to church, "to clear out his throat," and that then his voice would sound clear and soft as the tones of a little organ. He was a social, jolly, good-natured kind of a man, always full of fun and innocent mirth."
