General Notes: Husband - Anthony Bierly

---

He was born on the old Bierly homestead, near Rebersburg, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and after attending for a time the local schools, such as they were, he learned the cooper's trade, completing his ap­prenticeship under Robert Smith, of Penn's Val­ley. He made a comfortable living at his trade, which he followed during his active life. As his boys became old enough for work, he kept them busy on a farm which he owned, but he did not devote his own time to it, other than to direct their labors. On retiring from business he re­moved to Kreamerville to a comfortable residence built by his son R. D. Bierly, who traded it as part pay­ment for the home farm, he agreeing as a further consideration to support his parents as long as they should live.
