   CHRISTIAN HASLER. a progressive and prosperous farmer, is a native of
Switzerland, born in the year 1821. Together with his parents, Peter and
Elizabeth (Kalb) Hasler, he crossed the Atlantic in 1845, and, being poor,
started West, where land was cheap, with the determination of building for
himself a home. August 1, 1845, he located in Taylor Township, Greene County,
Ind., where he has since continued to reside. His mother died in 1865, and his
father in 1876. Christian began for himself, a poor boy, and the characteristic
traits of German people consisting of industry and frugality, has been a marked
feature in his life. By the hardest of labor, he has secured a well-stocked farm
of 580 acres, besides being free from debt, and with money loaned out to less
fortunate neighbors. Mr. Hasler is a Democrat in politics, and while living in
his native country served four years in the regular army. He has been twice
married, by his first wife, Sarah Stone, being the father of three
children—Margaret, Henry and Elizabeth. He married for his second wife, Margaret
Feutz, in 1851.
