EMANUEL NEFF.

One of the most straightforward, energetic and successful business men of Sandusky township is Emanuel Neff, who has attained a front rank in agricultural circles in his locality. He was born in Holmes township, Crawford county, Ohio, on the 9th of January, 1870, a son of Joseph Neff, whose history will lie found on another page of this volume. Our subject was reared to manhood on his father's farm, his educational advantages being those afforded by the common schools of his neighborhood. On the 28th of March, 1895, ne was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Krauter, a native of Cranberry township and the daughter of Jacob Krauter, who came to this locality with his parents when a child, the family locating in Libert)' township. Immediate. after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Xeff came to Sandusky township, locating on the farm where they still reside and which belongs to his father. The place consists of two hundred and forty-four acres of rich and fertile land, and there our subject and his brother Aaron are extensively engaged in farming and stock-raising, their efforts in both branches of their business being attended with a high and gratifying success. They pay cash rent for the land.

The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Neff has been blessed with two children, —

Lester E. and Ralph. Mr. Neff exercises his right of franchise in support of the men and measures of the Republican party. He has made farming his life occupation, in which lie has been very successful, and his record thus far in life has been such as to commend him to the respect and esteem of all with whom he has had business or social intercourse.
