General Notes: Husband - Lewis Marburger


He enjoyed no school advantages after he was twelve years old, and on March 22, 1876, he left home and was entirely dependent on his own resources thereafter. Active, industrious, pleasant of manner and obliging and willing in disposition, he found employment, and was never idle. In 1902 he went to work in a restaurant, and there, through close attention to all the details, he learned much that proved valuable after he was in business for himself. On May 18, 1896, he opened a confectionery store, which he conducted for one year and seven months, and then embarked in the restaurant business at Ellwood City, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, where he continued at one location for five years. In a number of his enterprises he was associated with Mr. Twentier, and in April, 1905, they built the Central Hotel, at Nos. 708-710 Lawrence Avenue, Ellwood City, and furnished the same with an expenditure of over $30,000. The house enjoyed a large patronage from exclusive people.
Mr. Marburger was reared in the Lutheran Church. In his political views he was a moderate Democrat.
