General Notes: Husband - John Ehrman, Sr.

---

When but a lad his parents died, and at the age of fourteen years he was thrown upon his own resources. He became a valet to a gentleman of wealth, and traveled with him through Europe and a portion of Asia, spending some time in India. In 1848 he came to the United States, arriving at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in June of that year. He found employment in carrying bricks to the builders, and saved his earnings carefully and was thus enabled to embark in the grocery business in that city. He married in 1852, and the following year they came to Cranberry township, Butler County, and established a grocery store at Ogle. Owing to losses sustained by reason of the dishonesty of a former partner in Pittsburgh, he was compelled to make a new start in Cranberry, where he commenced life on a capital of thirty dollars and a team of horses. He afterwards rented a farm, and resided thereon until he finally became its owner. By industry and economy he kept accumulating his means through the passing years, until he was the owner of over 300 acres of land in Cranberry township.
He and his wife were members of the German Lutheran church at Evans City.
