JOHN H. TRISCH. Among the well-known residents of Wells Township, Tuscola
County, is Mr. Trisch who came to this State from Ohio, where he was born in
Stark County, March 30, 1819. His father, David Trisch, is a Pennsylvanian by
birth and his natal year was 1797. He led the life of a farmer and in 1817 was
married to Sarah McDonald, daughter of John McDonald. Henry Trisch, the paternal
grandfather of our subject, was born in Germany.

  Soon after marriage the parents of our subject came to Ohio, in 1818, and
there they resided until 1852, when they removed to DeKalb, Ind., which
continued their home until the death of the father in 1860. To this worthy
couple were born six children of whom our subject is the eldest. The others are:
David, Jr., who lives in Wells County, Ind.; Rosanna, the wife of Charles
Corbin, of DeKalb County, Ind.; Julia A., who married Jacob Cline of the same
county; Rebecca, deceased, who was the wife of Stephen Tift, of Branch County,
Mich.; Elizabeth, deceased, who married John Bickle, of DeKalb County, Ind.

  It was about the year 1843 when Mr. Trisch began to learn the carpenter's
trade, and he worked at it a number of years, after which he devoted himself
more fully to farming, although he has at different times resumed his trade. He
remained with his parents in Indiana through their lifetime, and in 1865 came to
the place where he now resides. He was married in 1843 to Martha J. Caston,
daughter of Henry and Nancy Caston, of Ohio, who originally came from Pennsylvania.

  Seven children came to bless this home, namely: Sarah, who is the wife of John
A. Forney, of Lapeer; Elizabeth, Mrs. George Almas, of this county; Samantha J.,
who married George E. Green of this county; David; Samuel L.; John; and Ida M.,
the wife of Peter Vincent. This prominent family have in every department in
life done credit to the town in which they live and the parents from whom they
received their birth and training.
