General Notes: Husband - Abraham Eberhart


He and three of his brothers were among the early settlers of Hickory Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. He subsequently went further west.

He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and worked on his father's farm in the "Manor" settlement, until he was about sixteen years of age. He then learned the trade of a first-class weaver. He could weave all kinds of carpet and bed-spreads, linen and woolen goods.
He married and in two years they moved to Mercer County, into a heavily timbered country, where, in the course of time, he opened a fine farm, and built a saw-mill on the waters of the Little Neshannock. This was a new and very sparsely settled country, and they moved into a log cabin, which he had previously erected, right in the "backwoods."
They lived in Mercer County, nearly sixteen years, then they moved to Scrubgrass, Venango County, right on the Allegheny River, on to a fine farm, well supplied with all kinds of fruit and a flowing spring of excellent water in every field. Here they stayed eighteen years, and then in the spring of 1855 moved to Dixon, Illinois, where they engaged in agricultural pursuits nearly three years. In October, 1857, moved to Eldorado, Benton County, Iowa. Here they engaged in "tilling the soil" until 1864, when they moved to Vinton, the county seat of Benton County, having decided they were too old to carry on the farming business any longer alone, as their sons had all moved away.
In 1875 they moved to the city of Chicago and for two years lived with their son John F. and family. On the second day of October, 1877, they took up their abode at Chicago Lawn.
