General Notes: Husband - George Baer


He came from Newberry, York County, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1803, and purchased from Christopher Spangler a tract of land lying a short distance east of Rebersburg, Centre County. Soon after he sold a part of the tract to his brother-in-law, Jacob Long, and this later formed the Strohecker farm; the rest was later owned by his son Adam. He was for many years a justice of the peace. A justice in those days was a man of some distinction. His decision was final, as appeals were seldom taken out. He never applied to an attorney for information on points of law. Any illiterate person elevated to his office was at once transformed into a Solomon in the estimation of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Bear lived at Rebersburg during the latter part of his life, in the house later occupied by his son-in-law, Henry Corman. He built this house.
He lies buried in the Lutheran and Reformed graveyard.

General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Krape
