John H. Rohe was born in the State of Oldenburg, Germany, in 1818, a son of 
Henry and Gendena (Myer) Rohe, of Kleppenburg County. He remained in his 
native country till manhood, working on a farm, and of his earnings saved 
enough to bring him to the United States, coming in 1838. He worked on the 
canal in Maryland, and also on a farm, at $8 a month. He was married in that 
State, in 1845, to Anna Wiland, and in 1849 came to Wayne County, Ind., and 
bought 160 acres of land of Joshua Eliason, in Centre Township. He now owns 
200 acres, all well improved, which he has acquired by industry and 
perseverance. He is a highly esteemed citizen of Wayne County, and a liberal 
supporter of all laudable enterprises. In politics he is independent, 
supporting the man and not the party. Mr. and Mrs. Rohe have had six children--
-May, deceased, wife of Frank Blomer; Sarah, wife of John Bennett Baumer; 
Michael, married Katie Batter; Margaret, wife of William Pothoff; Caspero, 
married Mary Walker, and Anna is at home. Mr. Rohe and his family are members 
of the Catholic church in Richmond, Ind.
