HENRY TIELL, farmer, P. O. Alvada, was born in Luxemburg, Germany, November 
30, 1819; son of Andrew and Susan Tiell, both natives of Luxemburg, where 
they were married and remained until their death. Our subject immigrated to 
America in 1849, locating in Seneca County, Ohio, where he was united in 
marriage, April 13, 1857, with Catharine Lucius, who was born in Belgium, 
January 24, 1837. Her parents were Joseph and Catharine Lucius, also 
natives of Belgium, and who immigrated to America, settling in Seneca 
County, Ohio, in 1854, and here lived and died. Mr. and Mrs. Tiell have 
been blessed with twelve children, eight now living: Joseph, Peter, Lewis, 
John, Michael, Nicholas, Henry and Albert; the deceased are Mary, 
Catharine, Mary and Martin. Our subject owns 190 acres of land, mostly 
improved, where he resides. He and his family are members of the Catholic
Church at St. Nicholas. Mr. Tiell came to Seneca County, remaining three 
years, thence went to California and worked in a gold mine for thirteen 
months, then returned to Seneca County and engaged in farming, in which 
he has continued ever since.
