General Notes: Husband - George Wirt


He was reared in the usual manner of farmer boys, and in the German school near his home received a fair education. He married and began his domestic life on the old Wilson farm in Haines township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, which he rented for twelve years, and for the long period of twenty-one years lived on the farm of Philip Gephart, near Millheim. In March, 1882, he purchased from his brother William a farm consisting of eighty acres of fine land.
The political support of Mr. Wirt was given the principles and candidates of the Democratic party, with which his father was also identified. That he was a thorough and skillful farmer was evidenced by the long period which he operated the two rented farms, where his successors failed.
