General Notes: Husband - Daniel Flisher

---

His opportunities for securing an education were very poor. He had just begun the study of arithmetic when he was forced to lay aside his books and aid in the support of the family. By experience and observation, however, he acquired a good practical knowledge. At the age of eleven years he was hired out by his mother, at first receiving only fifty cents per month, although he did all the plowing on the farm. When sixteen years of age he began learning the shoemaker's trade in Potter township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, under his brother, Michael, and after mastering the business worked at the same for about fifteen years in that locality.
After his first marriage, he lived for a short time with his widowed mother, and later rented a small house, which was so meagerly supplied with household goods that his young wife had not even a dough tray. For several years he gave his entire time and attention to his trade, and after embarking in farming also did odd jobs at shoemaking. The first property he owned consisted of forty acres of land in Potter township, near Colliers, which he operated until 1844, when he sold it and purchased eighty-five acres, known as the Flisher home farm. On that place he continued to reside until 1879, when he removed to Centre Hall and bought a comfortable home. He became the owner of two fine farms in Potter township, aggregating over two hundred acres, one of which, a tract of over one hundred acres, cost him $105 per acre; he also had 450 acres of timber land.
Mr. Flisher was a stanch Democrat in politics.
