General Notes: Husband - John Kammerer
He was born in Germany, where he was educated and became prominent in business circles as a lumber merchant in the city of Frankfort-on-the-Main. Following his second marriage, he sailed for America. After finding a suitable location for a home, he sent for his wife and children, the next year, and settled in Nottingham township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, following the business of millwright and milling. He then worked two years as a carpenter, after which he embarked in general merchandising and the hotel business, on a tract of land of eighty acres leased from Thomas Officer, the patentee of same (near the site of the village of Kammerer), which he purchased in 1839. Thereon he erected a store-room and hotel, and the place came to be known as "Dutch John's." [CBRWC, ]
He was born in Germany, and was educated in the schools of his native land. In 1820 he married and, bidding farewell to his young wife for a time, sailed for America in 1821. After finding a suitable location for a home, he sent for Mrs. Kammerer the next year, and settled in Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he followed the business of a millwright and miller. He then worked two years as a carpenter, and afterward engaged in a general mercantile business. He also leased, of one Thomas Officer, eighty acres of land on the site that became Kammerer village, which land he purchased in 1881 [sic], and erected thereon a dwelling and store room. He then built a tavern, and in 1845 erected a saw and grist mill, which was burned September 22, 1850, but was rebuilt the following year. [CBRWC, 931]
