General Notes: Husband - Alpheus Sitler

---

He obtained his education in the schools of Zelienople, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and at Heidel­berg College, Seneca County, Ohio. He prepared for professional life at the Phil­adelphia College of Pharmacy, prior to which he had done considerable work in the line of surveying, both for railroads and private parties in Butler County. He remained at home and assisted on the farm until he reached his majority and then turned his attention to the study of phar­macy, for this purpose buying a half in­terest, in 1875, in a drug store at Har­mony. In 1879, after completing his professional course, he purchased the only drug store at Zelienople, which was the property of Dr. Amos Lusk. In 1882 he disposed of this store and again took up surveying, which he continued until 1887. In that year he went to Pittsburgh with A. W. Zeigler and together they purchased a drug store on the south side of the city on the corner of Carson and Twenty-seventh Streets, and there Mr. Sitler con­tinued in the drug business for ten years. He then disposed of his interest and on his return to Harmony, he entered into partnership with G. D. Swain, in the dry goods and grocery business, but four years later he sold his interest to his partner. He then bought his a drug business at Zelienople, and two years later established the firm of Sitler, Swain & Moyer, of Harmony.
The family were members of Grace Reformed Church of Harmony, with which congregation Mr. Sitler was ever since 1868, except dur­ing his period of residence in Pittsburgh. In politics, like his father, he was a Republican and after a service of six years in the town council, he declined renomination for election. He was a member of the Royal Arcanum and also of Harmony Lodge No. 429 F. & A. M. and was also a member of the Odd Fellows at Harmony. [TCHBC, 1448]
