  JOHN IKEMIER, farmer, P. O. Eaton. He was born in Ohio July 3, 1838. His
father, Andrew, was a native of Pennsylvania, born in the year 1795, and died
March, 1880. His mother, Catharine (Snyder), was born in Pennsylvania in the
year 1798, and died in the year 1870. Subject was reared on a farm in Ohio until
fifteen years of age, at which time he came with his parents to Crawford County
and settled on a farm in Oblong Township, on the farm now occupied by subject.
His chances for education were rather limited. In Ohio, the schools were far
apart, and consequently he did not attend school very much. He remained at home
and worked for his father until about twenty-eight years of age, at which time
he engaged in farming for himself. He owns a nice farm of 120 acres, of which
about all is in cultivation, and raises grain, principally wheat, corn and oats.
He was married in Crawford County, at the age of twenty-two, to Laura Stephens,
a native of Licking County, Ohio. They have one child—John.
