General Notes: Husband - Leonard Oesterling, Sr.
He was born in the harbor of Bremen, Germany, after his parents had embarked for America, and was two weeks old when the vessel got under way.
His parents immigrated from Germany to Butler County, Pennsylvania, the same year he was born, and he was reared to manhood in Summit township. In 1852 he engaged in farming for himself, in Summit township, and the following year removed to Armstrong County, where he found employment in the rolling mills at Brady's Bend, until 1872. In that year he returned to Summit township, and located on a farm of 200 acres. Here he made nearly all the improvements in buildings, etc., and brought the land to a high state of cultivation. He and wife were members of the German Lutheran church of Butler, and in politics, he was a Republican.
He and his wife were the parents of twelve children, seven of whom grew to maturity.
General Notes: Wife - Margaret Flohr
She was born in Germany and was eighteen years old when she came to America, leaving her parents in the old country.
