Other Events:

• Occupation: Doctor

Notes:

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.

From History of Gift, Kern and Royer Families: Charles Calvin Ziegler, youngest son of Isaac and Catherine (Kern)
Ziegler, was born June 19, 1856. He was given a common school training at Rebersburg, but he especially benefited by the select and normal schools, conducted at that place by county superintendent, R. M. Magee and Henry Moyer. He ascribes much ot his success in life to the thorough teaching of those two eniment educators.

On invitation of his brother, Samuel Benjamin, at West Union, Fayette county, Iowa, he journeyed to that place in April 1870. Here he made himself useful for a time in his brother's "Fayette County Bank" and then filled a clerical position in the recorder's office of that comity. Through the liberality of his brother, Samuel B., he was enabled to take a course of study in the State University of Iowa at Iowa City, where he graduated A. B. Ph. in 1878, and some years subsequently received the honorary degree of Master of Arts.

He returned to Pennsylvania where he engaged in teaching for a number of years in the counties of Centre and Clinton. In September 1882, he entered Harvard College where he devoted himself especially to
the study of Geology of which science he was very fond. He graduated June 25, 1881, A. B. "Magna Cum Laude," with honors in Natural History and Honorable Mention in English Composition.

He again went to Iowa and took the post of Professor of Natural Science in Upper Iowa, University at Fayette, Iowa, but the work not being to his liking he migrated to St. Louis, Mo.

Here he engaged in business, becoming connected with the Missouri Pan Electric Telephone Co., and on the dissolution of that company in 1887 become connected with the American Brake Co., of which company he has been the secretary and treasurer since October 1901.

Mr. Ziegler is the author of "Dranss un Deheem," a small volume of poems in the Pennsylvania German dialect, which has been very favorably received and has enjoyed great popularity. The Reformed Church Messenger said of it: "These verses are exceedingly creditable. The author not only possesses genuine poetic feeling, but is a man of culture, who has elaborated his verses with the utmost care."

The New York Nation said: "A most curious and interesting little book which might well have been much larger," and the late Prof. John Fiske called it in one of his histories: "A charming little book." The first edition is entirely exhausted and the author intends to get out a second, much enlarged and with a vocabulary.

April 13, 1888 he married Maiy Catherine Conser, of Brush Valley. This union has been blessed by two children, twins, born June 21, 1889, Laura Alpha, who died Nov. 30, 1899 and Calla Alpha, now a musical
student in the Beethoven Conservatory at St. Louis.

Mr. Ziegler has been a member of St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran church at St. Louis since 1890; was made a Free Mason, is a member of the Pennsylvania society of St. Louis and of the St. Louis Railway club.
