General Notes: Husband - Samuel Loose

---

The schools of his native county were all German, and when he went to Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, where the instruction was given in English, he had to begin again in all branches. Among so many boys his help was not needed at the farm, and in April, 1838, he returned to Lebanon County to learn the carpenter's trade with his brother Daniel. In the spring of 1839 the latter moved to Aaronsburg, Centre County, where the young apprentice completed his term. He spent one summer at farm work in Cumber­land County, and then came back to Centre County, and followed his trade at Millheim until 1847, when he removed to Morrow County, Ohio. Here he located on a farm, and in addition to the work of the place carried on his trade suc­cessfully. In 1850 he returned to Millheim, and after some years he settled in Brush Valley, where he again engaged in farming in connection with his other business. With advancing years and increasing wealth he decided to make his home in Rebersburg, where he might the better enjoy the fruits of his years of toil. Although he was not a politician, he was a stanch Democrat.
