General Notes: Husband - John Herman Bosler

---

His early life was spent on his father's farm. At the age of seventeen he went to Cumberland Academy, and from there entered Dickinson College. He left college to enter into a partnership with his father in the milling and distillery business, in which he remained for five years. He then withdrew to engage in the iron business in Huntington County, Pennsylvania, where he remained for two years, during which time he was married. Shortly after his marriage he returned to Cumberland County, and from that time was engaged in the milling, distilling and produce business until 1870. In this year he and his youngest brother, George, established a cattle ranch on the plains of the great west. They were the pioneer representatives of this business from Cumberland County. He was president of the Carlisle Manufacturing Co., a director in the Carlisle Deposit Bank, and director of the Ogallalla Land & Cattle Co. of Nebraska, as well as being engaged in other large western enterprises. Mr. and Mrs. Bosler were members of the Second Presbyterian Church of Carlisle. [HCC 1886, 369]
