Mr. Orth was one of the earliest settlers of the county and through all the vicissitudes of frontier life maintained the position of one of its best citizens. Of German nationality, he possessed in a high degree the frugality, industry and persistency characteristic of that race and has long been one of the most forehanded of our farmers. About two years ago he completed one of the largest and most costly farm residences in the county which remains a monument of his industry and enterprise. He was a zealous and faithful member of the Evangelical Association and a devout Christian. The community in which he has so long held so prominent a place will miss him sadly and the county realize the loss of one of its most influential citizens.
