Fehr Achenbach, wife of John Achenbach, was the daughter of John and Eva Geist Fehr, and was born at Tinicum, Bucks County, Pa., and was one of nine children. Her brothers were Peter, George, John and Michael. Her sisters were Polly Bowman, Catherine Wright, Eva Yohe and Eliza Mohn. How the memory of Grandmother Achenbach, as she was familiarly called by everyone, clings to us, and how pleasant the recollections. It seemed to us, her grandchildren, as we so often visited her in her home, that her purity and gentleness were unequalled, and how often we have wished her mantel like Elijah of old could have fallen upon us, and that we could wear it with the same dignity and grace. She was the mother of twelve children, two of whom still live. Truly they could “rise up and call her blessed.” Her kindly greetings and smiling face, combined with her wit and humor, which was so ready, made her a friend to all within reach. Man dies and the world moves on, and although appearances indicate the dead as forgotten, it is nevertheless, not the case of her who shared the toils and cares of her husband in pioneer times, and lived to the good old age of 88 years.
