General Notes: Husband - Adam Endres

---

Jackson Twp, Butler Co, PA

He resided in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, until 1860, when he purchased a farm on which his son Jacob would later live. He cleared and improved it, and followed farming until 1875, when he built a residence close to Zelienople, and retired from active business. He was one of the original stockholders in the Pittsburg and Mercer Plank Road Company. He was more or less connected with oil producing, and accumu-lated a comfortable estate. Before removing to Butler County, he was a member of the Burry Reformed church, but after his settlement in Jackson township, he joined St. Peter's Reformed church, in which he filled the office of elder.

He was only twelve years old when the family reached Zelienople, Pennsylvania, then a small settlement of log cabins. He can recall many exciting events of that time and one of these would probably have resulted in the family returning to Germany had not the father's money been all invested in the new home. It was a new experience to the careful, tidy housekeeper, his mother, to start to housekeeping in a log cabin and no doubt the prospect was very discouraging to her. It was also terrifying when, the first night, a great snake fell on her bed, so alarming her that she could sleep no more and spent the hours in tears. With forests, heavy underbrush, undrained swamps, there were plenty of places in which all wild things, including serpents, could conceal themselves in all this section at this time, and many subsequent adventures finally wore away the first feelings of terror. Mr. Endres, himself, killed the last rattlesnake ever found or reported seen in Beaver County. After acquiring his first farm he made dairying his main industry, keeping as many as twenty-four head of cows. For thirty-two years he made a weekly trip to Pittsburgh, where he supplied the old Monongahela House and other hotels, together with a number of the most particular people with high class butter, getting the best prices then paid for this luxury. He owned at one time 300 acres also in Beaver Township but later disposed of all that land. His last farm, adjoining Zelienople, was very valuable and he can foresaw the day when a part of it would be converted into busy marts of trade for his descendants. In 1880 he built himself a comfortable residence.
