General Notes: Husband - Joseph Kammerer
After his father's death, he took charge of the family business.
In 1881 a partnership company was formed, under the name of "The Kammerer Manufacturing Company (Limited)," between Joseph Kammerer, Christian Hootman and John Leyda, for the manufacture of liquors, but the two partners last mentioned retired from the company before the machinery was put into operation. The capacity of the distillery was thirty bushels per day. In connection with the distillery, he conducted a roller flouring mill, having a capacity of seventy-five barrels of flour per day, and fitted with all the latest improved machinery, making a market for several townships for grain for which the highest cash prices were paid. He owned 200 acres of land on which mills were located, and which was also very valuable for its coal and gas, and for grazing and farm purposes. On this he raised a fine herd of cattle. Mr. Kammerer was also in the merchandise business, carrying a stock of goods of about $75,000, consisting of a complete line of goods kept in a general store. In 1873 he was appointed postmaster at Kammerer. [CBRWC, 592]
