H. DAUBENSPECK, a successful farmer of Fairplay Township, was born in the year 1833, near Moers, Prussia, where he was raised on a farm, his education being obtained at the high school and college of his native town. Until thirty-three years of age, he was engaged in agricultural pursuits on his father's farm, but in 1866 he embarked for the United States with the purpose of making him a home in a new and free country. He first located in Grant Township, Greene County, Ind., but after a residence there of two and a half years he purchased the farm in Fairplay Township, where he now resides. Mr. Daubenspeck is one of the well known and highly esteemed men of his township, and although coming to this country with little or no knowledge of American institutions he has, by application, become thoroughly versed in local public affairs, and besides having served his township as Assessor, was, in 1882, elected Trustee. He was married in November, 1870, to Anna Sabilla Molls, who was also a native of the Rhine country, born in 1848, a daughter of Henry and Louisa (Kremer) Molls. Mrs. Daubenspeck emigrated to this country a short time after Mr. Daubenspeck, and to their union this family has been born: Agnes, Willie, Henry, Diedrich (deceased) and Gerhard.
