Biography

Cherrilla (Anderson) Rabenstein has German Roots.
Cherrilla (Anderson) Rabenstein was a Pennsylvanian.

Cherrilla, daughter of Jonathan Sumner Anderson and Mary Jane Wible, was born 18 March 1861 in Taylor Township, Fulton County, Pennsylvania. In 1870, nine-year-old Cherrilla lived on the family-owned farm in Taylor Township, valued at $1,000 (about $19,500 in 2020),[1] with her parents Jonathan (age 38, farmer) and Mary J. Anderson (36), and siblings Elihu (13), Ephraim J. (11), Alfretta May (3), Samantha J. (6), Louisa E. (2) and Jenniah (four months).[2] It is noted that her mother could neither read nor write.[2]

By 1880 the household in Taylor Township had grown to encompass her parents Jonathan (age 48, farmer) and Mary J. (45), Cherrilla (19, assisting with housekeeping), and her siblings Elihu (23, laborer), Ephraim (20, farmhand), Samantha (16, domestic servant), Alfretta (13), Louisa (12), Jenniah (10, incorrectly identified as a son Jeremiah), Grant James (8), Myrtie (6) and Narrissa (4).[3] The family is surrounded by Wible, Horton, Grove and Anderson relatives in this small community.[3]

On 3 December 1891 in Dublin Mills, Taylor Township, she married Emanuel Swartz "Manny" Rabenstein,[4] son of Amos Fischer Rabenstein and Cecelia Swartz.[5] They had two children:

  1. Wilber Herman Rabenstein (1920-1969).[7][9]

Although the 1900 census has not been located, Manny and Cherrilla lived in Cherry Grove, Huntingdon County, where Melvin was born in 1895,[6] and in Tyrone, Blair County, Pennsylvania, where Mary was born in 1900.[11]

By 1910 the family had rented a home in Cove Forge, Woodbury Township, Blair County, where the household included Emanuel S. (age 44, stone quarry contractor), Cherrilla (48), Melvin E. (15, laborer in the stone quarry) and Mary V. (9).[14] Emanuel and Cherrilla had been married for 18 years, but she was the mother of only two children—both living.[14]

Emanuel (age 54, laborer in stone quarry) and Cherrilla (58) continued to rent the same place in Cove Forge in 1920,[15] after Melvin had married[7] and Mary had moved out.

Cherrilla died in 1926 in Cove Forge and was buried in the nearby Presbyterian Cemetery in Williamsburg, Blair County.[16]
