   PHILIP ARRAS, farmer, P. O. Jenera, was born April 8, 1832, in Union County,
Ohio. His parents, Peter and Margaret Arras, of Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany, came
to America in 1831, and after living a few years in Union and Marion Counties,
Ohio, finally settled, in 1839, in Eagle Township, this county, where they
bought a new farm and began making a home for themselves. Philip, their youngest
son, remained at home and undertook the care of his father and mother. Peter
Arras died in 1860, his widow August 25, 1883. May 21, 1861, Philip Arras was
united in marriage with Miss Catharine Heldman, daughter of Henry Heldman. Mr.
Arras now owns the old homestead farm of 240 acres of land, whereon he has built
a fine brick residence and made other valuable improvements. To Mr. and Mrs.
Arras have been born five children: Henry, Carl, Mena, Lucy and Jacob (latter
deceased); those living are all at home, a bright and interesting family, and
Mr. Arras is giving them good educational advantages, both literary and musical.
The entire family are members of the German Lutheran Church. Mr. Arras is an
enterprising and successful farmer, a good citizen, highly respected by all who
know him.
