Henry Diehl, formerly a farmer on section 13, Hopkins Township, now residing 
in retirement at Empire in the same township, was born Oct. 12, 1805, in 
Lancaster Co., Pa. His parents, Samuel and Barbara (Bitner) Diehl, were also 
natives of the same State and had 12 children. Mr. Diehl of this sketch 
remained in his native State, pursuing the vocation of a farmer, until 1865, 
when he came to Illinois. He first made a location in Carroll County, spending 
but one year there. In 1866 he came to Whiteside County and bought a farm on 
sections 19 and 30 in Hopkins Township. He fixed his residence on the section 
last named, where he continued to live until 1871. In that year he purchased a 
house at Empire and has since been retired from active business life. His 
property in Hopkins Township includes 137 acres of land. Mr. Diehl was married 
in Franklin Co., Pa., Jan. 13, 1829, to Margaret, daughter of John and Barbara 
(Leep) Myers, and she is the oldest of a family of three children. She was 
born Aug. 27, 1808. To her and her husband ten children have been born, in the 
following order: Catherine, Elizabeth, Daniel, Lewis, Malachi, Adam, Mary, 
Jacob, Peter S. and Margaret C. The parents are members of the English 
Lutheran Church.
