   NATHANIEL KNEPPER, farmer and stock raiser. P. 0. Benton Ridge, was born in
Fairfield County, Ohio, April 24, 1828, son of John (a farmer and miller) and
Elizabeth Knepper, natives of Ohio, of German descent. They reared a family of
ten children, Nathaniel being the eldest of those now living. Our subject was
reared on the farm, and has made agriculture the principal business of his life.
In 1849 he was united with marriage to Hannah, daughter of Lawrence Hartze, born
in Germany. The union of our subject and wife has been blessed with ten children
(two died in infancy): Peter (died at the age of twenty-two years), George,
farmer, married, Mary Ann, Amanda, Cornelia, Jacob (farmer, married), Emma and
Lucinda. Mr. and Mrs. Knepper were formerly members of the United Brethren
Church, of which he was a class-leader, but they have since united themselves
with the Christian Union Church, of which he is an elder, class-leader and
trustee. Mr. Knepper is the owner of a well improved farm of 300 acres of land,
and has made most of his fortune in Blanchard Township, this county, since 1839.
He takes a deep interest in the Grange organization of Blanchard Township, and
is now overseer of that order.
