General Notes: Husband - Michael Ziegler

---

He was married (first) in Penn's Valley, near Centre Hall, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and for some time made his home upon a rented farm in that locality. Afterward he bought a farm in Brush Valley, above Madisonburg, which he cultivated for many years. In 1854 he retired from active work, and in the fol-lowing year he removed to Spring Mills, but his last days were passed in Aaronsburg, his death occurring there at the age of seventy-three. He was buried in a cemetery on the pike below Spring Mills, in Penn township, Centre County. Politically he was a stanch Democrat, and for years he was a member of the Reformed Church. He was a large man, a hard worker, and excel-lent manager, and although he began as a young man at forty-five cents a day with a grubbing hoe, he left an estate valued at $60,000. During their residence at Spring Mills his first wife died at the age of seventy-three years; he afterward married again.

He was born in Maryland. When about eight years of age, he came with his parents to Centre County, Pennsylvania. He remained on the home farm west of Old Fort until his first three children were born. In 1829, he bought a farm one mile west of Madisonburg, where he lived until 1854, when he removed to Spring Mills, and from there to Aaronsburg, where he died. He is buried in Salem Reformed cemetery along the pike below Penn Hall.
He also bought three other farms: one from John McKibben in Potter Township, Center County, for his son Henry; another, the Wolf farm in Penn Township, east of Aaronsburg, for his son John; third, the Murray farm, in Gregg Township, for his son Peter. He also assisted his two daughters, Elizabeth Krape and Mary Frain, in the purchase of homes. The home farm near Madisonburg was occupied by his son William, until he moved to Virginia, in 1873.
