General Notes: Husband - Amos Ziegler


He was reared on the home farm and attended the district schools, remaining engaged in farming pursuits until the spring of 1876, when he came to his own place, continuing to operate both farms, although not engaged in active labor himself. In 1892, he laid out the flourishing village of Rowenna. In association with others, he was prospecting for mica and asbestos in Bedford County, Virginia.
He served a number of years as school director and was fraternally connected with the Masonic order. In politics he was an Independent. He owned a fine collection of birds, being something of a taxidermist.
