General Notes: Husband - Christian Zehring

---

His education was limited to the instruction obtained in the parochial schools, which, in those early times, were opened only during the winter months, and that mostly in German. He learned the trade of a blacksmith, and the stone shop he erected was yet standing on the farm he owned in Union township over one hundred years later. On this farm, which was a large one, he erected two large dwelling-houses of stone, and also a large Swiss barn of the same material. Along with his blacksmithing, he and his sons farmed, and established a regular team for the conveyance of produce to Philadelphia, and the bringing merchandise for the stores in the neighborhood. This business was continued for many years. He filled the various offices of supervisor, overseer of the poor, etc., with credit. In the year 1819 he removed to Warren County, Ohio, whence several of his children had previously removed, and died there.
