General Notes: Husband - Jacob Frederick Held

---

He was a boy of nine years when he came with the family to America, and he thereafter lived in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. He learned the trade of miller, which he followed for a number of years, but in later years he devoted all his time to farming, in which he met with gratifying success. He occupied his home farm in Bethel township, a tract of 120 acres, beginning in 1890. Mr. Held was elected to the offices of school director and township auditor. He and his family were members of Bethel Lutheran Church, of which he was treasurer for some years.
He was a member of Kittanning Lodge, No. 251, Royal Arcanum, and of Grange No. 549, P. O. H., of Center Valley.
