   GEORGE SILAS FAHL, farmer, miller and manufacturer, P. O. Mount Blanchard,
was born May 25, 1840, in Delaware Township, this county. He received his
education in the schools of the home district, and his boyhood was spent at work
on the farm and in the saw and grist-mill owned by his father. February 22,
1861, our subject was united in marriage with Mary C. Hempy, born in Hancock
County, O., January 14, 1844, daughter of Henry and Anna (Hall) Hempy. Since
their marriage our subject and wife have resided on their present farm of 399
1/3 acres of well improved land on the Blanchard River, in Delaware Township,
this county. Their children are Monroe, Emma E., Bertha Gay. Arizona Jay, Owen
H., Theron I., Marvin H., Clarence S., Edson E. and Allie G. In 1862 our subject
came into possession of the mill which was established by Godfrey Wolford, and
now operates it as a grist and flouring-mill with a saw-mill addition. In 1872
he established a steam planing-mill, shingle-mill, lath factory, etc., to which
he added, in 1880, the cider-mill which took the premium at the Centennial
Exposition in Philadelphia, Penn., and he makes over 75,000 gallons of cider per
year. Mr. Fahl is an energetic business man, highly respected by the entire
community.
