General Notes: Husband - Henry Mohnkern


He came from Hanover, Germany, and was thirty-three years old at the time of his arrival in this country, in 1833. After a brief residence near Altoona, PA, he came to northwestern Pennsylvania in 1835, settling at Rockmere, Venango County, where he spent a few years, engaged at his trade of carpenter. Moving thence to Black Forge, he was employed at the furnace there, constructing the big bellows for the forge, subsequently lived for two years in Butler County and a short time in Clarion County, and in 1863 came to Oil City, which was then known as Siverly and was all woodland in the part where he located. As a pioneer mechanic he found plenty of work at his trade, building many houses in Oil City, where he continued to reside until his death, at the age of eighty-four years. He was a member of Bethel M. E. Church and one of the organizers of that congregation, in whose work he always took an active interest, doing his share to maintain the church and promote its enterprises. [CAB, 1035]
