General Notes: Husband - Levi Eberhart

---

He was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and lived with his parents, engaged in agricultural pursuits until nineteen years of age, when he entered the christian ministry.
At the age of fifteen he had united with the Evangelical Association, and in the spring of 1841 he entered the itinerant ministry of his church.
He spent seventeen years in the regular work of the ministry, preaching both in the German and English languages, and laboring part of the time in new fields, preaching almost daily, and traveling as many as 5,000 miles a year on horseback; but he also filled some important stations, such as Pittsburgh and Baltimore. He was very successful in organizing new societies and building churches. He was finally elected presiding elder and placed on a mission district, including portions of Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.
In later years, his health failing, he did not feel himself adequate to the requirements of the itinerancy, he studied dental surgery, devoting a part of his time to it in connection with other enterprises. At one time he resided in the city of Chicago, engaged in real estate.
