WILLIAM L. HASSELBRING.

   William L. Hasselbring, a prosperous farmer and self-made man of Jefferson
township, is a native of Germany, having been born there on March 12, 1872.

   Mr. Hasselbring's parents were August and Sophia (Sarszy) Hasselbring, both
of whom are natives of Germany. After coming to America in 1882, they settled at
Monticello, White county, Indiana. Subsequently, they purchased a farm of eighty
acres in Honey Creek township, White county, where they farmed for a number of
years and where William L. grew to manhood. He received his education in the
district school of the township. Not long ago Mr. Hasselbring's parents retired
and removed to Reynolds, where they now reside. Both are members of the Lutheran
church at Reynolds. They have had six children, one of whom died in infancy.
Five are living, as follow: William L., the subject of this sketch, is the
eldest; Charles, the second born, is deceased; Henry lives in Michigan; Herman
lives at Chalmers, Indiana; Paul lives on a farm in Honey Creek township, near
Reynolds; and Edward is a resident of South Dakota.

   On April 12, 1899, William L. Hasselbring was married to Lena Dittmann, who
was born at Monticello, Indiana, June 29, 1876, a daughter of William and Sophia
(Brant) Dittman, natives of Germany, who came to America about 1875 and settled
in Monticello. They were farmers by occupation. Mr. and Mrs. William Dittman
were the parents of six children as follow: Lena, now Mrs. Hasselbring; William,
Henry, Fred and Mrs. Minnie Jennings, all of whom live in White county, this
state, and Emma, who died in 1880. William Dittmann died about June, 1908. His
widow is still living and makes her home with her children.

   Mr. and Mrs. William L. Hasselbring have had three children, namely: Fred,
born on January 24, 1900; Hilda, June 10, 1903, and Bertha, May 1, 1906. All of
the children live at home with their parents.

   For about eleven years Mr. Hasselbring rented land in various parts of this
county and then purchased one hundred and sixty acres of well-improved land in
section No. 14, of Jefferson township, in 1906. He raises purebred Shire horses
and Shorthorn cattle and has been very successful in the stock business.

   Both Mr. and Mrs. Hasselbring are members of the Lutheran church at Reynolds.
Mr. Hasselbring is identified with the Democratic party but has taken no
especial interest in politics.
