General Notes: Husband - Andrew Harter
near Coburn, Penn's Valley, Centre Co, PA
He was born in Haines township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and was educated in the German schools of that day and locality.
He first rented a farm in his native township with a brother-in-law, Henry Moyer, but later removed to Penn township, Centre County, and rented land from James Duncan. He was an energetic man and capable of much work, being six feet, one and one-half inches in height, and very wiry and muscular, and each year saw an improvement in his financial condition. In time he purchased a farm in the same township, which was later owned by his son Andrew, but he never became very wealthy. He could never refuse a favor, and his generosity was often imposed upon. He and his estimable wife were both members of the Lutheran Church, and in politics he adhered to the Democratic faith, taking much interest in party work, and serving in various township offices. He died suddenly at the age of fifty-nine.
