JOHN KIBLINGER, farmer; P. O. Eagle
City; born on the farm where he now resides, Sept. 11, 1816;
is a son of Jacob and Mary (Pence) Kiblinger, natives
of Virginia. Jacob first visited this county in
1801, and between this date and the year 1805, made four
trips from Virginia to this county, assisting in moving
several of the Kiblinger and Pence families to this
their new home. On the last trip, which was in 1805,
he brought his father, Jacob and family, and all now
became permanent residents of this county, being truly
pioneers of the county. Jacob Kiblinger, Sr.,
built the first saw-mill and hemp-mill in this township,
located on Mad River, near the place where the Eagle City
Mills now stand. Jacob Kiblinger, Jr., on one
of his first trips to this county, between 1801 and 1805,
entered 80 acres of land, which is embraced in the farm of
our subject. From the year 1805, when they made their
permanent settlement, they commenced to open out and clear
up the land and make a home. After some years of labor
and toil, the grandparents died, and the work was continued
by the father. He lived till Feb. 18, 1860, when death
released him from all earthly cares. His wife died
Dec. 30, 1870. They were parents of eleven children,
four now survive - John, Eli, Jemima and Lemuel.
Our subject lived with his father till his marriage, to
Mary Jane, daughter of Henry and Eva (Snyder) Pence,
natives of Virginia. Issue, four children, two now
survive - Eva Ann and Mary Catharine.
His wife died June 24, 1847. His second marriage was
Dec. 12, 1847, to Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob and
Elizabeth Grube, natives of Pennsylvania. Issue,
four children, three now survive - Lucinda, Sylvanus
and Joanna. Mr. Kiblinger, after his first
marriage, located in Champaign Co., near Westville, and
resided eight years:\; thence back to the old home place,
where he bought out the heirs and took care of his parents
till their death, and has always remained here till the
present time; has cleared up and brought into cultivation,
right from the woods, 100 acres since he purchased the farm.
His farm now embraces 185 acres in good cultivation, with
good improvements, and constitutes one of the best corn and
stock farms in German Township. Mr. Kiblinger
refuses all offices of the township, but is an active member
of the Agriculture Board of Clark Co.; was one of its
organizers, and has been actively engaged in its work and
welfare for several years. Mr. Kiblinger is one
of the active and progressive farmers of Clark Co.

of age when brought here by his parents, and was raised and
brought up in this county, and lived and died here, living
his entire married life in the same neighborhood of his
father. He died Apr. 8, 1867. His wife is still

four years spent in Moorefield Township, moving back again
in the spring of 1874. The home place consists of 96
acres, mostly in cultivation, with good improvements.
Mr. Kiplinger and wife are members of the M. E.
Church. Grandfathers of our subject will receive due
mention in the history of German Township, in the body of
this work, as its pioneers. And we would add further
in justice to the patriotism of this family, that four of
our subject's brothers were enlisted in the defense of our
country in the late rebellion, one of whom died while in the
army.
