Mr. Freund was born in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria on April 23, 1814, and emigrated to America and located in western Pennsylvania when a young man. He worked on the old Pennsylvania canal several years under Captain Marshall and tiring of that employment went to Brady's Bend, Armstrong county, where he became an iron worker. His wife died in 1870 and four years later, Mr. Freund moved to this place with his family, where he resided until his death. Mr. Freund is survived by three children, as follows: Mrs. J.B.
