General Notes: Husband - George C. Speyerer

---

On his immigration to America in 1828, he settled in Butler County, Pennsylvania. He became a pupil of the common schools during the winter months and devoted the remainder of his time to labor on the farm. His health failing, a trip to Europe proved advantageous, after which, on his return, he made Rochester, Beaver County, his home and embarked in mercantile ventures. With the exception of a brief interval in the service of the German Manufacturing Company, he was for forty years or more engaged in business at the same point. Since his advent in the town, Rochester grew materially and became one of the most prosperous boroughs of the county. In all movements tending to its prosperity Mr. Speyerer was a leading spirit and unhesitatingly contributed both influence and capital to many worthy projects. He founded and was the president of the Beaver County Banking and Safe Deposit Association of Rochester. He was a leading member of the Lutheran church at Rochester, of which he was a trustee.
