   C. F. FORRER, proprietor of the Windfall City Flouring Mill, which was built
by a stock company, and which has the capacity for grinding 200 bushels of wheat
and 200 bushels of corn per day, is one of the leading business men of the
village. He was born in Brookville, Ind., January 14, 1856, and is the son of
Daniel and Sarah (Cooper) Forrer, natives of Pennsylvania and Virginia
respectively, of German and Irish descent. Daniel Forrer removed to Ohio in an
early day, and subsequently located in Franklin County. He in early life learned
the millwright trade, and met with success, and through industry and economy
became quite wealthy. In July, 1882, he located at Cambridge City, where he is
living a retired life. C. F. Forrer in his youth had access to the common
schools, and during the vacations assisted his father in the mill. He attended
Brookville College a few terms, and thus acquired a good education. He learned
the miller's trade from his father, and in 1876 took charge of his father's
mill. After conducting this five years, he began operating the Windfall City
Flouring Mill on his own responsibility, where he is doing a large custom and
retail business. Mr. Forrer was married, April 12, 1883, to Miss Emma Miller, of
Hartford City, Ind. She was born May 16, 1860, and is the daughter of Samuel
Miller, a pioneer of Indiana. Mr. Forrer is identified with the Republican
party, and is a Free Mason and Odd Fellow.
