General Notes: Husband - Alfred Zeigler


He spent his boyhood on the home farm, attending the public schools during the winter season until he was eighteen years old, when he taught his first term of school. Meeting with success in this occupation, he subsequently taught three terms in Penn Township and Harmony, and finally became principal of the Evans City school. For several years following he was employed in the store of George Ifft & Son, at Evans City; then for two years and a half he was engaged in drilling and dressing tools in the oil fields. In the spring of 1891 he came to Mars, where he opened a small roofing and tin shop. The enterprise proving successful, he added hardware, and after conducting the establishment for ten years, he found it necessary to secure larger quarters, and accordingly moved into his own two-story brick block on Main Street, which he had erected in 1901. Here he carried a complete stock of hardware, stoves, builders' supplies, slate roofing, and other material in this line. He was also president of the Mars Brick and Tile Company.
Mr. Zeigler was a Democrat in politics. He was one of the original organizers of the borough of Mars, was elected president of the first borough council, and subsequently served as president and treasurer of the school board. He belonged to several fraternal organizations at Mars, including the Maccabees, the Modern Woodmen, and the Knights of Pythias.
