   JOHN ARRAS, SR., fanner, P. O. Jenera, was born November 19, 1821, in
Brandau, Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany, and came to America with his father, Peter
Arras, in 1831, and to Eagle Township, this county, in 1839. He married, October
19, 1846, Miss Margaretha Essinger, of Amanda Township, this county, and they
located in Eagle Township, March 11, 1848. The place was new, and they at once

of 201 acres of land, and has built thereon a fine brick residence, besides
making other valuable improvements. Mr. and Mrs. John Arras are parents of six
children: Harriet, Peter, John, Philip, Mrs. Margaret Glick and Nicholas. Mr.
Arras and family are members of the Lutheran Church. He is one of the successful
farmers of Eagle Township, a good citizen, highly respected by the community in
which he lives.
