General Notes: Husband - Samuel F. Rohrer


He attended the academy at Strasburg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and fitted himself for college, but was prevented from entering the latter by his father's failure in business. It being Mr. Rohrer's earnest desire to become a physician, he pursued the study of medicine for some nine months, but being unable to carry out his plans, and being in a great measure influenced by his parents, he relinquished his studies in that direction, and turned his attention to civil engineering. In this connection he assisted in the surveying of the Cumberland Valley Railroad and other lines, but at length turned his attention to teaching, the schools in Berks, Venango and Clarion counties, Pennsylvania, first coming under his able tuition. Sometime between the years 1855 and 1859 Mr. Rohrer moved to Forest County, where he taught school for over twenty-five years. He served as commissioners' clerk for several years, county surveyor, township treasurer, etc., and was county superintendent of Forest County three consecutive terms. He was very active in all educational enterprises, and took great interest in the system of public instruction.
