General Notes: Husband - John Marburger
Evans City, PA
He was born on the old homestead in Forward Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He spent his early life there and attended the district schools. He became successful as a farmer and was one of the leading stockmen of the county. He owned 325 acres of well improved land and was also a prosperous merchant of Evans City for many years, having conducted a meat business there from 1891 until the time of his death. He was a Democrat, a member of the Lutheran Church, and belonged to several lodges.
He was born on the home farm, in an old one and one-half story house which adorned the place in the early days, and in his later years he had a distinct recollection of kicking the snow off his bed as he arose in the morning, at times during his boyhood. He helped to clear the farm on which he lived and also the ninety acres at Callery, and so much of his time was spent at hard work that he had little time to attend school, it being limited to a few weeks during the winter. He lived on the home place during all his life, four months being his longest absence from the place. He followed general farming until 1893, and then went into the butcher business at Evans City, being in partnership with Jacob Rape one year. His market there was located on Pittsburg Street, opposite the postoffice, and he had a meat shop at Mars, Pennsylvania, in which village he also owned a large business block. He was extensively engaged in the cattle business for several years, buying by the carload, formerly purchasing cattle in that section, but later obtaining them mainly from the west, and from Pittsburgh. He also bred and raised fine draft horses, and had some of the best bred stock in the country. He was the owner of Baccarat, No. 50404, imported from France in 1906, a beautiful black stallion, three years old, which weighed 1800 lbs. in the spring of 1908. He had a six-year-old, Acrobat, No. 41551, which was imported from France in 1904, which, when three years old took first premium at the Butler County Fair in 1905. He raised a strawberry roan Percheron stallion, which was foaled April 23, 1901, Prince LeClare, Jr., sired by Prince LeClair, No. 9656. This horse weighed 1800 lbs., and was entered three times at the Butler County Fair, taking all prizes in his class.
