General Notes: Husband - Isaac Dreese

---

He supplemented his early educational privileges received in Decatur township, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, by study in Freeburg Academy and afterward engaged in teaching school in his native township and in Snyder County for five terms. He also assisted his father in the development of the home farm until he had attained his majority, when he removed to West Beaver township, Snyder County, and purchased a farm of eighty-one acres, which he successfully operated for nineteen years. He erected thereon a house and barn, planted an orchard, and made other substantial improvements. To stock raising he gave considerable attention, and kept on hand a high grade of horses, cattle and hogs. In 1888 he removed to McClure, where he purchased a stave factory of Squire Howell, which he then successfully conducted. He also owned a stave-mill in Huntingdon County, one in West Beaver township, Snyder County, also a half interest in another in Juniata County, in partnership with his son-in-law, R. E. Stinely. He furnished employment to twenty-five or thirty men, shipping each year more than thirty car loads. This was one of the important industries of the county, and Mr. Dreese acquired thereby a handsome competence. He also erected two fine residences in McClure, each costing more than $1,500, and otherwise improved the town. He also erected a double house in Lewistown, Mifflin County, valued at $1,500.
He was a member of the Lutheran Church, in which he served as deacon and elder. He was also an active worker and teacher in the Sunday school, and served as its superintendent. A stanch advocate of Republican principles, he was elected on that ticket school director and assessor.
