General Notes: Husband - George Harter


He was born in Haines township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, was reared to farm work. His early instruction was secured entirely in the German schools of the day. He was an excellent penman, and in later years became a prominent citizen of the locality, noted for his successful management of his farms, his estate being at his death estimated at $17,000. He was five feet, eight inches in height, and weighed 155 pounds, was strong and robust, and an industrious worker. Although he was never afraid to give voice to his opinion, he was not quarrelsome, and never sued or was sued in court. He was a Lutheran in early life, later becoming an active member of the U. B. Church. In politics he was a Democrat.
After marriage he settled on a rented farm in Haines township. His father giving to him two horses, a wagon, a cow and two pigs. He was able, in 1841, to buy from Jefferson Royer a farm of 210 acres near Rockville, Centre County. Later he sold this and purchased the old Haines farm, in Penn township, Centre County, where he lived until old age caused him to retire from active work. His last days were spent at Millheim, and there he died at the age of seventy-eight.
