General Notes: Husband - William Reifsnyder

---

A native of Berks County, Pennsylvania, he came to Centre County in 1841, locating first at Aaronsburg. He started in life a poor boy, and for a time followed the weaver's trade; but after his removal to Aaronsburg he engaged in butchering, selling the meat about the vicinity, while in the fall of the year he would go into the country and assist the farmers in butchering. In 1848 he moved into Penn township, Centre county, a short distance to the northwest of Millheim, and in 1850 he removed to another part of the township, which later became a part of the village site. He worked by the day at whatever employment presented itself. In 1857 he resumed the business of butchering, with our subject as an assistant, and in the winter season did some huckstering also.
He was a Democrat, but though a regular voter he was not a politician. From an early age he was an active member of the Reformed Church, and an earnest advocate of the Temperance cause.
