General Notes: Husband - Joseph Sierer

---

He was brought up to farming until fifteen years of age, and received such instruction in the common branches as the neighborhood schools afforded. At the age of fifteen years (in March, 1853), he began serving with his father an apprenticeship at the trade of chair-making, in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. After completing his apprenticeship he worked for others several years, and for a period took charge of his brother's retail establishment, in which capacity he was occupied in February, 1868, when was opened the carpet house of J. Sierer & Co., which was carried on under that name until April, 1870, after which Mr. Sierer conducted the business himself, and to which he added, about 1880, wall paper. The business grew to large proportions and the store was in a flourishing condition.
He and his wife had six children, five of whom were still living in 1887-two daughters and three sons.
