General Notes: Husband - Lewis A. Herold


He was reared on the home farm and received but little schooling. He lived with his parents until he reached the age of twenty-one years, then worked out for a couple of years. At the end of that time he was married, and thereafter for about two years farmed the home place. He next was employed three years in the plate glass works at Butler, after which, in 1894, he purchased and moved to a farm in Center Township. He made many important improvements on the place, built a third story onto his house, erected a large barn and a creamery, and laid a large amount of tiling. He engaged in wholesaling milk until 1904, after which time he retailed it with good results. He kept about twenty-seven cows, on an average, and did a large business. He also contracted for the building of silos, and in the autumn of 1908 filled nineteen. He owned a threshing outfit, which he operated in partnership with his brothers, Frederick and Frank.
