General Notes: Husband - Andrew Obediah Eberhart
He was reared in Fairview Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and after he completed his school attendance, he worked at the carpenter's trade for several years and also engaged in farming. After his marriage he moved to Butler Township and settled on a farm, later, in 1887, he bought the adjoining farm and moved onto it. With the assistance of his sons he cultivated almost the entire acreage. The sons made a specialty of fruits, potatoes and garden truck. The farm had three orchards, producing many apples, as well as 125 bushels of strawberries. In 1873 Mr. Eberhart became interested in the oil business, in Donegal and Fairview Townships.
After locating in Butler Township, he was elected a deacon in St. John's Church and later served as an elder for a number of years. With his sons he belonged to the East End Hose Company Drum Corps. As he taught music to bands for a long period, and during the Civil War played much martial music, he filled the place of almost any musician in local musical organizations. In politics, he was a Republican and served as school director, constable, and for two and one-half terms as jury commissioner. He belonged to the Odd Fellows and the Rebekahs, the Royal Arcanum of Butler, of which he was a charter member, and while he resided in Fairview Township was a member of the Grange. For twenty-five years Mr. Eberhart was a director of St. Paul's Orphan Home. He assisted in getting the right of way for the Butler and New Castle electric line through the township, and a station was established on his farm known as Eberhart Station. [HBC 1909, 681]
He remained with his parents until his majority, and then purchased a small piece of land in Fairview township, Butler County, which proved to be oil producing. He afterwards sold this, and purchased the Yetter farm of 170 acres in Butler township, and later the William Bryson farm of 100 acres. He rebuilt the Bryson residence, where he then resided, engaged in farming and oil producing.
