General Notes: Husband - Adam Schaeffer
Another source states that he was still living in 1881. [HCC 1883, 224]
He was a child when his parents settled in Brush Valley, Centre County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared as a farmer boy, and afterward engaged in agriculture on the old homestead as he was one of the youngest of a large family of children. Later, he purchased the property from his father, and there his death occurred. He possessed great mechanical skill, and could turn his hand to various trades without special instruction. He was greatly respected in the community and was a leading Democrat, holding various township offices. In Church affairs he was also prominent, being one of the founders of the Lutheran society in his locality, and helping to build the church in Madisonburg.
