"PETER CORL, one of the active and energetic farmers of Ferguson township, Centre county, is the subject of this personal narrative. Believing that "from labor, health, from health, contentment springs," he has bent every energy toward perfecting his agricultural projects, and has proved himself eminently one of the best citizens of the community.

"A native of Centre county, Mr. Corl was born February 16, 1839, in Haines township, a son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Vonada) Corl.

"The educational privileges of Peter Corl were such as the free schools of Pine Hall afforded. He was married May 28, 1863, to Miss Barbara Reish, daughter of Jacob Reish, of Union county, Penn. Ten children-seven sons and three daughters-have been born to them, as follows: W. K., a farmer by occupation, who married Ettie Garner; Jacob C., of Centre county, who married Elsie Kreps; Samuel I. and Peter M., at home; Maria, who married a Mr. Kreps, by whom she has one child; Daniel 0. ; Elizabeth E. ; Alvin K. ; Cora M., and James M.

"During the Civil war Mr. Corl manifested his loyalty by enlisting in the Union service; but as his parents objected he remained at home. He belongs to a good old Democratic family, and the principles of that party he also supports. He is an earnest Christian, holding membership with the Reformed Church, and is a charter member of the Grange in Centre county. He takes a genuine interest in the enterprises set on foot for the progress and welfare of his adopted county, and does all in his power to secure their advancement."
