   JOSEPH MARKEL, farmer, P. O. Findlay, was born in Schuylkill Township, Berks
Co., Penn., July 14, 1830. His parents, George and Catherine Markel, moved to
Pickaway County, Ohio, the year after Joseph was born, and there resided until
their death. Joseph Markel was reared in Pickaway County, Ohio, and there
acquired his early education. He united in marriage with Miss Eliza Ann Everet,
of Boss County, Ohio, July 6, 1857, and three weeks thereafter they moved to
Eagle Township, this county, where Mr. Markel rented a farm on which he resided
eight years. He then returned to Pickaway County, Ohio, and took care of his
father until the death of the latter March 3, 1875, he dying at the age of
eighty-three years, one month and three days. After the death of his father our
subject returned to Eagle Township, this county, and purchased the farm he had
formerly rented. He now owns 160 acres of well improved land with good buildings
thereon. Mr. Markel takes a lively interest in fine stock, and has owned some of
the finest thorough-bred cattle in this county; he has also given considerable
attention to fine horses. To Mr. and Mrs. Markel have been born three children:
Mrs. Anna Walters, Mrs. Rachel Alspach and George S. Our subject and wife are
members of the Lutheran Church. He is a life-long Democrat; has been a delegate
to the Democratic convention nearly every year since his residence in this
County. He is an upright and worthy citizen, and is highly respected by the
entire community.
