John Bierly Biography
John Bierly came to Brush valley with his father, Anthony Bierly, and located on the same tract, part of which he owned himself subsequently. He was the oldest son, and the support of the numerous family depended mainly upon himself and his second brother, John, for their father was sickly and unable to do much. He had to work hard to pull through.
He was married to Lucy, a daughter of John Buchtel, who came into the valley about the same time or soon after the Bierlys moved in.
