General Notes: Husband - John Nicholas Ulerich

---

He was a prominent farmer and stock-dealer of Ligonier township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he owned two hundred acres of valuable and well-improved farm land. He was a republican and served ten years or more as school director. In religious belief he was a Methodist and for over thirty years was a consistent member of the Ligonier church, of that persuasion, in which he served for many years as a trustee and class-leader.

He began his career as an agriculturist by renting the Thomas Pollock farm, later moving to Waterford, Pennsylvania, where he purchased the farm of Mrs. Fannie Noble. He did not live on this estate, but resided on another of Mrs. Noble's farms. In all he was the owner of one hundred and eighty acres. In politics Mr. Ulerich was a Republican and held, at different times, all the township offices. He was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church of Ligonier.
