General Notes: Husband - Lawrence Schilling

---

He was a boy of fifteen years when his father died, and it became necessary for him to assist in the support of the family. He learned the trade of a wagon maker, and conducted a shop in Germany until 1856, when he moved to America, locating near Evans City, Butler County, Pennsylvania, whither his son, Herman, had preceded him some two years. He rented a farm for about six months, then purchased of Hugh Wallace the farm on which his son, Herman, later resided. The place was but little cleared and was provided with a small log shanty, in which the family lived some years. He continued on this place all his days, dying at the age of eighty-seven years. His wife preceded him to the grave some nine years, dying at the age of sixty-nine.
