1882 HISTORY OF LA GRANGE COUNTY INDIANA
F.A. Battey & Co., 1882

        EMANUEL FLECK is a native of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, and in his
twenty-second year, in 1855, came to La Porte, Ind., and learned the
carpenter's trade. In November, 1856, he returned to Ohio, with $152, and
purchased carpenter's tools. February 19, 1857, he married Miss Savillah
Fisher, came to Indiana March 27, 1865, and bought a farm in Clay Township,
on which was an old water-power saw mill. He used this mill until October,
1866, when he built a new one on the same site. In 1870, he built a
grist-mill, but the water proving insufficient, he put in an engine in
1871, and built a new circular saw-mill. He is the owner of the "Model
Mills," known as Fleck's Mill, with a saw-mill containing planing, joining
and edging machines. He also owns the right of a patent hay-rack for
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and all territory west of the Mississippi
River, and is one of the inventors of a patent buggy-top attachment. His
farm is well improved, and a new frame residence has just been completed.
He introduced the cultivation of German prunes in the county, and is the
inventor of a fruit-tree protector. The spring of 1867, he was elected
Justice of the Peace, and held the office eight years; served as Trustee,
and was re-elected in 1878. The following children were born in Tuscarawas
