General Notes: Husband - Hon. John Schaeffer

---

He was a young man when he came with his parents to Brush Valley, Centre County, Pennsylvania, where he made his permanent home, his death occurring at the farm near Madisonburg. He was well known throughout Centre County, and was influential politically as a member of the Democratic party. He served four terms as county commissioner, and was associate judge of Centre County from 1841 to 1846. At one time he owned five thousand acres of mountain land which he sold in portions at different times. He was prominent in the Lutheran Church, serving as deacon and elder. Well built physically, he took pride in the fact and in the resemblance of all his sons in this respect.
