General Notes: Husband - Gotleib Frederick Fetzer


Following the deaths of his parents, he was reared in the family of his maternal uncle, George Reiber, of Butler, Pennsylvania. He received a good common school education, and at the age of sixteen commenced his business career as clerk in a Pittsburgh clothing house. He remained there, however, but a short time, when he came to Millerstown and entered the employ of H. L. Westerman. He soon evidenced more than an ordinary amount of business acumen, and his industry and close attention to the interests of the house won for him a position as partner. In 1866, he sold his interest and purchased a mill property, which he then operated for many years.
Politically, he was a Democrat; he was a member of the Lutheran Church.

He was born in Germany and was about eight years old when his parents brought him to America. They settled in Butler County, Pennsylvania, where both shortly afterward died and he spent his whole subsequent life in Butler County, almost the whole of his mature years being devoted to merchandising. He first was in partnership with H. L. Westerman for five years, when Mr. Fetzer withdrew for a time but later became again associated with Mr. Westerman, for a few more years. He then entered into partnership with John G. Myers and they conducted a mill and had farm and oil interests. Mr. Myers withdrew after some years but Mr. Fetzer operated the mill, with his other enterprises, until his death, at the age of sixty-nine years. [TCHBBC, 614]
