About
Custom Tab
Frederick A. Gutelius was born in Lancaster County, PA on December 26, 1766. In 1790 he married Anna Catherine Bistel.
About 1802 Frederick and Anna Gutelius moved from Lancaster County, PA to Mifflinburg, PA where they built a home. Frederick was a blacksmith, surveyor, Union County Commissioner, and a Justice of the Peace. He and his wife were founders of the Reformed Church.
They were the parents of eleven sons and four daughters. Anna died in 1838, and Frederick died in 1839. They are both buried in Mifflinburg at the Reformed Church.
Their house was occupied until 1997. When that occupant died, the house went up for sale at an auction. Neighbors who did not want the house torn down bought the house.
Preservation Mifflinburg, Inc. was formed to preserve the house and the history of Mifflinburg.
