General Notes: Husband - Col. Daniel Herr
His ancestors were among the first settlers in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, from whence the family name became wide-spread.
He learned the trade of a house-carpenter, an occupation he pursued several years. During the War of 1812 he was lieutenant-colonel of a volunteer regiment in active service. In later life he followed hotel-keeping. He kept the Tremont House at Philadelphia, the Mansion House at Reading, and that famous hostelry, Herr's Hotel, later the Lochiel, at Harrisburg. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, and during the Anti-Masonic crusade never swerved from his allegiance to the fraternity, being Master of his lodge from 1835 to 1838, inclusive. He was a man pure in purpose, amiable, kind, and generous-hearted, yet firm and decided as to opinions and duty.
