My Genealogy Hound

CHARLES A. MOHREY. This popular and well known gentleman is engaged as a merchant tailor in Cherryville. He is a native of this county, and was born February 14, 1856, to Peter and Catherine (Heckman) Mohrey, the former born in Switzerland, and the latter in Northampton County. Peter Mohrey departed this life in 1891, and his good wife, who still survives, makes her home with our subject and is now in the seventy- fifth year of her age.

Charles A., of this sketch, grew to man’s estate and was educated in the public schools of his native county, and although not having the advantages offered the youth of the present day for gaining a good schooling, is well informed and keeps himself thoroughly posted on events of interest. In 1876 he began to learn the tailor’s trade, serving an apprenticeship of three years. He then established in business for himself in Cherryville. Here he has built up a good trade and controls the largest business in his line in the place and has also secured a good patronage from the surrounding country. He gives employment to several men, and turns out first-class and highly satisfactory work in every particular.

Mr. Mohrey was married in 1879 to Miss Emma E., daughter of Charles Nagle, now deceased, but formerly a resident of this county. They have become the parents of two children, Mark and Raymond. In religious affairs our subject is a devoted member of the Reformed Church, in the work of which he is greatly interested. Socially he belongs to the Junior Order United American Mechanics at Cherryville.

In his political affiliations Mr. Mohrey is a strong Democrat. He is well known, and the incorruptible integrity of his character and his many fine qualities of head and heart have placed him high in the regard of his fellow-citizens.
