At the time of her marriage, she was a teacher at a family school in Evansburg, per Beans's History of Montgomery Co. "Among the latest of the family schools in Montgomery County was that maintained in the residence of the late Thomas Hopkins, in Upper Providence township, in 1851-52. This school was taught by Elizabeth Garrett, Elizabeth Yerkes and Ann E. Casselberry, nee Heebner."

transfer of property

"While the Evansburg Tannery was very profitable in the 1860s and 1870s, there is some evidence that it was beginning to decline in the 1880s. In 1887, Morgan Casselberry sold the farm to Christopher Heebner, a relative of his wife (perhaps her brother). Later the same day, Heebner sold the farm to Morgan Casselberry’s wife Ann Eliza. Ann Eliza Casselberry is listed as the owner of the Casselberry farm in the 1893 Atlas of Montgomery County. It was only four years after this sale of the land that Morgan Casselberry retired from the tannery business; the new owners operated the tannery for three years before it ceased operating due to the 1894 recession."
