General Notes: Husband - John Louer
He was the eldest son of the family and he remained at home and helped his father until he was twelve years old. Differences arose on account of the step-mother, so he left home and went to Youngstown, Ohio, where he worked for William Rice, a farmer, for four years. By that time he was a sturdy young man of sixteen years and he went to New Castle, Pennsylvania, hoping to get work in the mills, but after he reached there he found no vacancy, and rather than be idle, he went to work for L. V. Quipps, a shoemaker, and as he found the work more agreeable than he had expected, he remained until he learned the trade, some four years. He returned to his father for a year, was married, and then went to Mahoningtown, where he operated a shoe shop for fifteen years, not only selling shoes, but also making them, finding it necessary to employ from two to three hands. In 1866, he came to his own farm, where he carried on general farming for over forty years. He enjoyed a beautiful home, erecting a fine house and substantial barn, and all necessary farm buildings, and making many improvements.
