Reich, Henry W. (page 436), operating the Lone Pine farm in section 13, Elgin Township, was born in Elgin Township, May 17, 1870, son of Herman and Annie (Mathews) Reich. In his boyhood he attended district school in Elgin Township, and also the school in Plainview village. On his parents' farm he thoroughly learned agriculture in its different branches, and continued to work for his father until 1910, in which year he rented a farm in Elgin Township on which he resided until 1912. He then rented his father's farm of 120 acres in section 13, which is known as Lone Pine Farm, and which he is now operating with good financial results, doing general farming and stock raising. He has made a number of improvements on the place, including the erection of a garage and outbuildings. Mr. Reich was married December 14, 1911, to Delia Hostettler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hostettler, who was born July 8, 1881, her parents being members of the Old Settlers' Association of Plainview. The home circle of Mr. and Mrs. Reich has been enlarged by the birth of two children: Anna M., born October 6, 1916; and James H., born March 29, 1918. Religiously Mr. and Mrs. Reich are affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal church.
