General Notes: Husband - Jacob Rhone
Potter Twp, Centre Co, PA
He spent his entire life on the homestead. Although the local schools furnished his only educational advantages, he secured an excellent fund of knowledge by individual effort, being a constant reader of the best literature. He was a leading worker in local affairs, and was especially prominent in religious matters as a member of the Lutheran Church, serving as an elder for a number of years. An ardent Democrat, he possessed much influence in political affairs, and was often a delegate to county conventions.
In 1846 he purchased the homestead from the other heirs, but just a few years later he was suddenly called from earth, a violent attack of typhoid pneumonia baffling the skill of his physician. He had just been elected justice of the peace, but his commission had not yet been signed by the governor.
General Notes: Wife - Sarah Kersteter
After the early death of her husband, she took up the management of the estate at a critical time, and successfully carried forward the plans for the new residence then in process of erection, showing remarkable sagacity and executive ability. In rearing their numerous family to take honorable and useful places in society she won yet more notable distinction.
