General Notes: Husband - Isaac Herr


He learned the cabinet-making trade with his uncle Joseph at Willowstreet, beginning at the early age of fifteen years. On the completion of his apprenticeship he attended school a year, and then resumed his trade as a journeyman. After his marriage he began operations for himself, and the following year he bought a half acre of land, where he erected a shop and a small house in which to live. As time passed and his family increased, his means grew larger, and from time to time his home was improved, increased and modernized, the shop having been moved to make room to meet the needs of the larger residence. Here he and his wife lived for more than forty years. He gave his attention to undertaking and carpenter work. Over the years he laid to rest many of the prominent people of his community. His sons, Abraham L. and Benjamin L., became associated in business with him, under the firm name of Isaac Herr & Sons.
