General Notes: Husband - George W. Ziegler

---

He received a common school education, and learned the printer's trade in his father's office. From 1858 to 1860, he worked at stove moulding, and was a conductor for three years on Ridge Avenue line in Philadelphia. In 1862 he went to Venango County, and was engaged in the oil business and in various other occupations for seventeen years. He then returned to Butler and opened a tin shop, which he carried on three years, when he again returned to the oil fields of Venango, Armstrong and Butler counties, where he spent three years, and then resumed the tinning business in Butler, which he fol­lowed until 1892. In that year he established the business of “fixer.” He was janitor of the court house from 1881 to 1883, burgess of Butler in 1881-82, and tax collector in 1886-87-88, when he resigned the office. He was again elected burgess in February, 1893, and filled that position for one year. In politics, he was always a Democrat, of which party his father was one of the leading members throughout his long residence in Butler County. [HBC 1895, 699]
