  • Notes 
    • John Henry Zigler was born Nov. 27, 1847. He married Malinda
      Moyer, daughter of John Moyer, in 1872. He graduated from a college of medicine in Baltimore, Md., but before he came home he had been ill with consumption. He opened an office, however, at Rebersburg, and was ready for practice, when he died, July 24, 1874, and was buried there.
      [2]
    • On the 24th ult, at Rebersburg, Centre Co. of Consumption, Dr. J. Henry Ziegler, aged 26 years, 7 months and 27 days.
      Dr. Ziegler was a consistant and devoted member of the Reformed church. He was a young man with more than ordinary talent; and according to the admonition of St. Paul, he consecrated these, together with his body to the service of his heavenly Father through Christ Jesus.
      One year ago he graduated in the Washington Medical University in Baltimore. He had just been ready to enter upon the arduous and responsible duties of a physician when, that slow but fatal disease, Consumption, laid hold upon him, and ended his life in a short course of time. He bore all things patiently, and entirely committed himself and all his affairs in the hands of his Lord and Master, who does all things well.
      His death inflicts a loss upon the church, his dear wife, and the community, but that which has been loss to them has been to him Eternal gain.
