General Notes: Husband - George Lorenz Hertlein

---

He came from the Kingdom of Wurtemberg to America about 1830, purchasing a tract of raw land in Karthaus township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, whereon he made his home until his death.
He was a leading Democrat, filled many township offices, and was a member of the Lutheran Church.

He and his wife were both natives of Germany, but were married after their emigration to the New World.

During the first three years spent in America, Mr. Hertlein worked at the iron furnace in Karthaus, and then purchased a tract of wild land, where he opened up and improved a large farm. By trade he was a potter, and erecting a plant he engaged in the manufacture of stoneware, which he would sell throughout the country. He also did considerable work at the mason's trade, and being a skilled mechanic, who could perform almost any sort of labor, his services were in great demand in this then new country. Lumbering also claimed his attention, and during his early settlement here he piloted on the river for some time. He experienced all the difficulties and hardships of pioneer life when there were no roads laid out through his section of the county, when oxen were used to perform the labors of the farm, and when the machinery was of the most primitive order. He was often compelled to carry flour and other provisions on his back from market in Karthaus, over a trail to his home. Wild game, which was very plentiful, mainly supplied the meat of the family. Through his own energetic efforts, Mr. Hertlein became quite well-to-do and prosperous, owning a fine farm of over 400 acres, a part of which he cleared and improved.
He and his wife were consistent members of the Lutheran Church. Politically he was a strong Democrat, and filled nearly all of the township offices, including those of supervisor, auditor and overseer of the poor.
