General Notes: Husband - Ludwig Kurtz
He received a classical education, and was manager of his father's forge, near Michelstadt, Darmstadt, Germany. He left Germany Sept. 18, 1830, on account of the oppression and tyranny of the German potentates, came to York, Pennsylvania, where he established a large brewery, and subsequently a German weekly paper. In the fall of 1846 he came to Aaronsburg to take charge of the Centre Berichter, which under his management became an original, spirited German newspaper. Retiring from the paper on account of old age, he was succeeded by his son. He died in the eighty-eighth year of his age at Aaronsburg. He was a fervent Lutheran, and had quite an inventive genius. In 1838, at York, he invented an ingenious silk-reel, which was patented and used at the time to manufacture sills from cocoons.
