General Notes: Husband - R. D. Bierly

---

He was born in Miles township, Centre County, PA, and he was educated in the common schools of that lo­cality, improving his opportunities so well that before he was twenty-one he taught successfully at the Gramley school. He was reared to farm work, but, as he possessed unusual mechanical skill, he decided to learn the carpenter's trade, and after one summer at the work was as com­petent as most apprentices after a full term. For one year he was employed as a skilled workman, and then went into business on his own account as a contractor. He built many of the best residences in Centre County, including some of the most elegant homes in Millheim and Rebersburg. Other buildings which stood as ev­idences of his skill were the Lutheran churches at Millheim and Rebersburg, and the school houses there and in Coburn. Financially, he pros­pered, and owned two houses in Rebersburg, as well as 115 acres of timber land and forty acres of cleared land.
