Youngstown Vindicator Undated 
JOHN SANZENBACHER
Among the Oldest and Best Known Residents of Canfield
John Sanzenbacher is a man of quiet, social, and agreeable manners, and enjoys 
the esteem and confidence of the people of this community. He is a 
progressive, public-spirited citizen.
Mr. Sanzenbacher was born in the Kingdom of Wurtemberg, Germany, May 5, 1827, 
and is, therefore, a little more than 75 years of age (sic should be 92 years 
of age). He emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1833 and lived 
near Unity, Columbiana county, until 1836, when the family removed to Lawrence 
county, Pa. His boyhood days were spent on a farm until 1844 when he was bound 
out to R. Fullerton for three and a half years to learn the trade of tannin 
and currying. After serving his apprenticeship he came to Mahoning county and 
worked in what were then considered large tanneries. On April 9, 1850, he came 
to Canfield to take charge of a tannery he purchased of F. A. Brainerd. Dec. 
24, 1850, he was married to Miss Sarah Oswald of Canfield township. Six 
children were born to them. Mrs. Sanzenbacher died a few years since.
During the war Mr. Sanzenbacher was associated with the late Pierpont Edwards 
in the grocery and drug trade and with F. Krehl of Girard in the tanning 
business. In 1867 he sold out these interests and purchased a fine farm one 
mile east of the village. But a couple of years later he again engaged in 
tanning wand with P. Edwards as a partner engaged extensively in the 
manufacture of leather belting. A mammoth building was erected near the 
railroad and for years a large force of workmen were employed.
