General Notes: Husband - John Kersteter

---

He was reared to farm work, and found but meagre opportunities for an education in the schools of his locality. At nineteen he began to learn the shoe­maker's trade with George Eisenhuth, of Millheim, PA. The business proving uncongenial, he en­gaged in carpentering, in which he became pro­ficient under the instruction of his brother Leon­ard. For two years after his marriage, he lived with his father on the homestead just west of Coburn, but in 1837 he moved to his own farm in the same vicinity.
In poli­tics he was a Democrat, first, last and all the time, having voted that ticket at every Presiden­tial election from Van Buren down. He served as supervisor, overseer of the poor and school director in his township. In religious work he was prominent as a member and official of the Lutheran Church, with which he united be­fore he was twenty years old.
