Emanuel Blecher, farmer and stock raiser, was born September 22, 1827, in 
Columbia County, Pennsylvania. His father, Jacob Blecher, a farmer and weaver by 
occupation, was born in Pennsylvania in 1798, and died at the age of seventy-
seven years in Columbia County, that state, in 1875. He married Miss Susanna 
Keller, of Columbia County, and they had seven children, three of whom are living, 
the subject of this sketch being the sixth. Emanuel spent his boyhood and 
youthful days at his birthplace, receiving but three months schooling. He was 
married October 25, 1855, to Miss Mary Ann Farwer, of Wayne County, Ohio. By 
this union they have had nine children, five sons and four daughters, all living, 
except one daughter. In 1855 Mr. Blecher removed from his native state to Wayne 
County, Ohio, where he remained for three years, going thence to Wells County, 
Indiana, where for eight years he followed farming and stock raising. Moving to 
Champaign County, Illinois, he continued to farm for fourteen years, and in March 
of 1881 he came to Henry County, Missouri, with a view to settling in the state 
as a permanent resident. He has as yet purchased no farm, but intends to invest 
his means in farming and stock raising as soon as a suitable location can be 
found. Politically, he is a Democrat.
