BIOGRAPHIES
|
JOHN LENGERICH,* general farmer and
representative citizen of Cynthian township, Shelby
county, O., where he owns fifty-four acres of fine land,
lying in section 19, three miles south of Fort Loramie,
was born near Minster, in Auglaize county, O., Sept. 6,
1867, and remained in his native county until he was
twelve years old.
Prior to coming to Fort Loramie in 1879, Mr.
Lengerich had attended school at Minster and
afterward completed his education under the teaching of
L. Notis and thus secured a very fair knowledge
of books. He then worked as a farm hand for
C. B. Danbrison & Son seven years and afterward
was engaged in farm work for seventeen years in Mercer,
Darke, and Shelby counties, and came to his present
place in 1910. Here he has expended considerable
money in making excellent improvements, including the
draining and tiling of his land and thereby has probably
almost doubled its original value. He carries on
general farming and raises stock for his own use.
Mr. Lengerich was married at Cincinnati, O., to
Miss Frances Brockamp, who was born in Shelby
county, O., a daughter of Bernard Brockamp, and
the following children have been born to them:
Bernard, George, Catherine, Lorena, Laurence, Clara,
John, Marie, Louis and Edward, the last two
named being deceased. Mr. Lengerich and
family are members of S. S. Peter and Paul Catholic
church at Wynant, O. In national matters Mr.
Lengerich votes with the democratic party but in
local affairs he is independent. He is an
interested citizen in all that concerns the welfare of
his section and since January, 1912, has been a member
of the board of education of the Basinburg special
school district. |
