General Notes: Husband - Col. Thomas Jefferson Rehrer


He received a good education, was brought up to a mercantile life, but subsequently retired to a farm. While engaged in farming he was elected a member of the Legislature, in which he served two terms. At the close of the last session he removed to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, having accepted a clerkship in the land-office of the commonwealth. He remained in that department, with the exception of two intervals of three years each, until 1866, filling the position of deputy or chief clerk under the several organizations of the office. His long service there made him unusually familiar with the business and its bearing on the land interest of the State, which was appreciated and recognized by all who had business to transact in the surveyor-general's office.


General Notes: Wife - Salome Weiser


She was born on the Conrad Weiser farm, about twelve miles west of Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
