General Notes: Husband - Rev. Jeremiah S. Eberhart

---

He was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and until eighteen years of age attended school and assisted his parents on the farm, who for the greater part of this time resided in Venango County, right on the banks of the Allegheny river. He then attended Albright Seminary at Berlin, Pennsylvania, one year. When nineteen years of age he taught school near Kittanning, then moved West with his parents to Dixon, Illinois, where he worked on the farm in the summer and taught school in the winter for several years. He then attended Rock River Seminary at Mt. Morris, four terms, after which he attended Cornell College at Mount Vernon, Iowa, where he graduated in 1863. In the autumn of 1863 he entered the Upper Iowa Conference of the M. E. Church, held at Davenport, Iowa, as a minister on probation. Two years later he was ordained a Deacon by Bishop Simpson, and received into the conference as a member; and at the end of two years more was ordained an Elder by Bishop Janes.
