upon the farm where he spent the remainder of his life, and actively engaged in its cultivation.
Our subject was. united in marriage to Miss Caroline Horgher, February 10, 1875. She was a native of Jackson township, Franklin county, born No- vember 13, 1856, a daughter of Frank Horgher, a native of Germany who came to America previous to his marriage, this' taking place some time later, in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, whence he moved to Franklin county, Ohio, set- tled in Jackson township, and in 1875 moved to Columbus, and died there, at the age of seventy-seven years. Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Horgher: Rose; Catherine; John, who is the twin of Mrs. Rader, -the widow
of our subject, and an infant which died in infancy.
The death of Mr. Rader took place February 1, 1897, when passed away a good husband and indulgent father. He left six estimable children to con- sole his bereaved widow: Carrie R., who married Carl Gutnecght and. has
a daughter, Marie Ethel; George H., who assists on the farm; Alma F., Alice M., Lenora E. and Inez A.
Since the death of Mr. Rader, his widow has shown great ability in the management of the estate. Not only did she suffer loss when his life ended,, but the community in which he had lived an honest life, filled with good deeds, felt the bereavement also. He was well known and had been called upon to serve as school director for some twelve years, his judgment making him par- ticularly fitted for the position. A Democrat in his political convictions' he upheld the principles’ of that party. In his death the Lutheran church lost a valued member.
