Emil F. OELSCHLAGER

Emil F. Oelschlager, a well-to-do farmer of Albion township, 
was born in Germany, August 12, 1864, son of Ferdinand and Caroline 
(Wohlgemuth) Oelschlager, and was there reared. His stepfather, 
Peter Georke, and his mother, with the children of the family, 
came to Chatham township, this county, in 1880, and purchased 
120 acres of land. Emil F. came with them, and remained until 
he was twenty-four years of age. In 1888 he rented eighty acres 
of land in section 36, Albion township, and three years later 
he bought it. A log house, 16 by 20 feet, with a board roof, 
had already been erected. Not much clearing had been done. With 
a yoke of steers and an old farm wagon, he started the work of 
bringing the place to its present high state of development, 
lie has a sightly house, 18 by 22 feet, with a story and a half 
kitchen, 14 by 16 feet, and a large basement. The new barn, 32
by 60 feet, with eighteen-foot posts, is built along modern lines, 
and has room for twenty cattle, eight horses and sixty tons of hay. 
The farm is well fenced and well tilled, and the livestock is of 
a good grade. Mr. Oelschlager was married February 11, 1890, to 
Minnie Morohn, daughter of Michael and Dora (Berg) Morohn. Mrs. 
Oelschlager died Dec. 15, 1910. In the family there are nine children: 
John, born February 5, 1892; Walter, born October 24, 1893; Dora, 
born December 2, 1895; Robert, born Dec. 20, 1896; Harry, born January 
16, 1900; George, born February 7, 1902; Esther, born March 11, 1904;
