   FRED MACHETANZ, tanner, Kenton, was born in Auglaize County, Ohio, in 1849.
His parents, Gotleib and Catherine (Freyman) Machetanz, are natives of Germany,
whence they emigrated in 1826, settling in Auglaize County, Ohio. His father
died there when our subject was but seven years of age. The mother again
married, and is still residing there. Our subject came to Kenton in 1878, and,
in the same year, erected his present business house, situated on the south side
of the Scioto River, in South Kenton, where he has established and built up a
successful trade. He employs a force of three men, and his business is rapidly
increasing. He was married, in 1876, to Miss Minnie, daughter of A. Traeger, of
Kenton, to which union there have been born two children-Charles and Augustus.
Mr. Machetanz was elected Clerk of Buck Township in the spring of 1883, where he
is how residing, and the same season was elected to the City Council. He and his
wife are members of the German Lutheran Church, and he is one of Kenton's busy
manufacturers.
