General Notes: Husband - Nicholas Kromer
He received his educational training in the land of his birth, and in 1869, in company with his wife and family, came to America, locating in Connellsville, Pennsylvania. He immediately found employment in the coal mines, and after ten years of this occupation embarked in the business of photographer, being thus engaged for six years. He was then elected to the position of constable of Connellsville, and after serving for one year in this capacity removed to Everson, where he purchased a hotel known as the Ureka House, which he successfully conducted for six years. He then erected what became known as the Kromer House, in Scottdale, Pennsylvania, and was its proprietor for eight years. Owing to failing health Mr. Kromer retired from active business pursuits for two years, during this period visiting his native country and renewing his acquaintance with his relatives and the friends of his youth. When he was again able to engage in business he removed to Alverton, Pennsylvania, and there purchased property on which he erected the Columbia Hotel, and conducted it.
In religious faith Mr. Kromer was a Lutheran, and his wife affiliated with the Roman Catholic church. Fraternally he was a member of Castle No. 238, Knights of Pythias, of Connellsville, Pennsylvania; Lodge No. 242, Improved Order of Red Men, Connellsville; also the German Lodge, of Connellsville.
