John Storch was born March 20, 1825, in the small city of Hambach, 
Schweinfort, Bavaria, Germany, where he received his education. He was married 
in his native country, to Anna Nappenbach, by whom he had thirteen children, 
ten still living---Barbara, wife of Patrick C. Colbert; John, married Drucia 
Watson, George, Adam E., Henry C., Anna M., Teresa E., Frederick, Mary E. and

twenty-seven years of age, he working at it till he came to America, in 1853. 
He lived in Lancaster County, Pa., twelve years, during which time he was 
engaged in raising tobacco, and in the winters worked at his trade. In 1865 he 
moved to East Germantown, Wayne Co., Ind., where he worked at his trade five 
years; at the same time followed farming. In 1869 he rented the farm which he 
now owns, and where he resides. His land is well adapted to raising small 
grain, and has good farm buildings. Mr. Storch is one of the successful stock-
