General Notes: Husband - Adam Mayer

---

By occupation he was a farmer and stone mason.
In 1854 he and his eldest son, Adam, came to America, spending thirty days on the ocean. They did not have enough money to pay their way from New York City to their destination at Philipsburg, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and consequently they walked the entire distance amid the bleak and wintry scenes of the month of February. They found employment about eight miles from Philipsburg, with Capt. Grove, a lumberman, and worked for him in the woods at cutting logs, for three years. A small farm was purchased in Clearfield County, and in 1856 the mother and other members of the family came over, and the interrupted home life was again enjoyed by all.
