General Notes: Husband - George Shoemaker

---

He was reared in his father's home and in his early boyhood days worked for Fred Bierer. When his father purchased a farm he assisted in its cultivation and development until eighteen years of age, when he apprenticed himself to the wagonmaker's trade and for fifteen years followed that pursuit. In 1867 he purchased a farm of fifty-five acres in Salem township, where he resided eight years. He then sold the property and bought a farm of one hundred acres near Greensburg. In 1888 he sold forty acres of his farm to the Keystone Coal Company and the same year purchased ninety acres adjoining Benjamin Eiseman, upon which he erected a handsome residence, making it his home thereafter. He was a Prohibitionist in his political views, and religiously was connected with the Lutheran church of Greensburg.
