General Notes: Husband - Henry Raymer
He was the first of his family to come to the American shores and to the United States, although in the Fatherland the family history is an ancient and honorable one.
The name Raymer was introduced into America by the arrival in the United States of Henry Raymer and his two sisters, Barbara and Christina, in 1845. They came at once to Pittsburgh. After his marriage, Henry moved to New Brighton, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, settling there about 1854, and in that locality operated a cigar store and factory combined, there manufacturing the cigars that he sold in the store. He had learned the cigar-maker's trade in his native land, and while in Pittsburgh had made that his occupation. In 1861 the family residence was changed to East Liverpool, Ohio, later to Illinois for about a year, when he returned to Beaver County. He opened a general store in Beaver Falls, which he conducted successfully until 1880, when he became a traveling salesman in the employ of a Pittsburgh tobacco house, a business in which he continued until his death. He was a member of the Lutheran Church.
