Edward Lingsweiler, dealer in lumber, brick, lime, and all kinds of 
building material at Richland, is a native of Racine County, Wis.,
and was born in 1847.  He is a son of John I. and Christina (Shero)
Lingsweiler, natives of Germany, the former born January 1, 1818,
and the latter about 1820.  They immigrated to the United States in
1831 with their parents, and were married in Buffalo, N.Y.  About
