Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   A. Michner, miller, Veedersburg, was born in Ohio, in 1836, and is the son of
James and Eliza Michner, both natives of Pennsylvania. Mr. Michner was educated
in the common schools. Four years prior to his coming to Fountain county, in
1872, he was engaged at Anderson, in the Michner machine shops, where he was
both stockholder and superintendent. He was married in 1865 to Maria Mendenhall,
a native of Ohio, and daughter of Steven and Mary Mendenhall, both natives of
Pennsylvania. Her brother, T. C. Mendenhall, is professor of the Royal Seminary
of Japan. Mr. Michner by this union has four children: Maggie, Dora M., Hellie,
and Helen; the last two are twins. He is a member of the Knights of Honor. In
politics he is a republican. He served in the United States navy nearly five
years, and passed through many of the most closely contested engagements of the
navy during the war, among which were the attempt to retake Fort Sumter,
guarding the coast in the neighborhood of Charleston, South Carolina, and the
capture of the rebel ram at Atlanta, Georgia. In 1876 he erected, at
Veedersburg, a flour-mill, which he is now operating. Mr. Michner is a miller
well skilled to his profession, easily sees the benefit of the late
improvements, and adds to his present mill machinery such inventions as will
enable him to produce a better article of meal and flour as rapidly as they are
brought out.
