General Notes: Husband - David P. Locher
He obtained his early education in the public school, and learned the trade of a tanner and currier of his father, and upon reaching his majority started out in life for himself, without pecuniary aid. For some time he dealt in leather at Pottsville, Pennsylvania, but in 1850 returned to Lancaster, where he was then in active business as a tanner and currier and a manufacturer and dealer in leather. He built four tanneries in the city in different locations, and was largely and actively engaged in leather interests during his whole business career. In 1870 the firm of D. P. Locher & Son succeeded Evans, McEvoy & Co., bankers, and continued a private banking-house on Penn Square, in Lancaster. Mr. Locher kept aloof from political place, given his time to active business interests, and was considerably identified with real estate operations and farming.
The Locher family were identified religiously with the Reformed Church, and with the Presbyterian. Politically they were originally members of the old Whig party, but became Republicans upon the organization of that party.
