His parents, natives of France, moved to Wayne County, Ohio, in 1824, and settled on a farm. His father, who was a minister of the Mennonite society (the family history shows that there has been a minister in the family for the past five generations), started in the world a poor boy and when he died, in 1854, owned 650 acres of land. Our subject, who is the third in a family of eleven children, came to this county in 1855, and settled on the farm where he now resides.
