(1892) MYRON E. HORLACHER. We are pleased to here present a sketch of one of the well-known citizens of Akron, who is acting as foreman of the stave-mills of J. C. Liken & Bach. He is the son of Abel and Rachel (Rittenhouse) Horlacher, natives of Luzerne County, Pa., where their son also was born March 2, 1852. He had his early training and education in a village and attended the village schools. In 1870 young Horlacher came with his brother John to Michigan and he worked at various places in sawmills until 1884, when he began work for the firm with which he is now engaged. Bell Hayman was the maiden name of the lady who is now the wife of our subject and their marriage took place in 1875. Her father, Benjamin Hayman, is a resident of Montcalm County. Six children have crowned this union and four of them are now living, namely: Jennie Bell, William Edwin, Alice Ann, and Rose May. The firm of which Mr. Horlacher is connected is a representative one and carries on a flourishing business, employing some thirty-five men and they are deemed fortunate in having so able an assistant as our subject. He is thorough-going and enterprising and carries business through with a rush. In his social life he is a member of Tent No. 182, K. O. T. M. at Fair Grove. His political opinions cause him to affiliate with the Democratic party, in the principles of which he is a firm believer although he is not an office-seeker.
