**********************************************************************

Peter Tiefel was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1828, where he lived until
1847, when he came with his parents to the United States, and settled in
Ohio.  He remained there until November, 1865, when he removed to 
Lafayette county, where he now lives, engaged in farming.  Mr. Tiefel 
was united in marriage to Miss Barbara Smith, of Ohio, by whom he has
eight children.  Is a member of the Lutheran Church.  He is a fit repre-
sentative of that class of Germans who are noted for industry and 
economy, and by continuous application of these two qualities he has 
been eminently successful in business, securing for himself a fine farm
of 320 acres and a comfortable home for his family.  Postoffice, May-
