   AMOS WITTENMYER, justice of the peace, Benton Ridge, was born in Snyder
County, Penn., December 24, 1825, son of George and Mary (Bachtel) Wittenmyer,
natives of Pennsylvania and of German descent, the former a shoe-maker by trade
but in later life a farmer. Our subject, who is the fourth in a family of six
children, was educated in the common schools. He came to Ohio with his family in
1853, and has resided in this county since 1871. He was proprietor of the hotel
at Benton Ridge for several years, and was also engaged in farming. Mr.
Wittenmyer is now serving his second term as justice of the peace in Blanchard
Township. In politics he is a Republican. He has been successful in life, having
accumulated a fair share of this world's goods.
