Haycock Township


LEVI F. AHLUM farmer, P.O. Richland Center, was born in this 
township in 1838.  Jacob Ahlum, who was the first of the 
name in this county, came from Germany to America about 
1750.  He had two sons, one of whom enlisted in the 
Revolutionary war at the age of 18 years.  Jacob Ahlum 
purchased a large tract of land, part of which is now owned 
by Levi F.   Thomas Ahlum, a descendant of this pioneer, 
married Julianna Fullmer, of this county, by whom he had two 
sons:  Levi and Reuben.  In 1866 Levi married Amanda, 
daughter of Tobias Trumbauer, of Rockhill township.  They 
were the parents of three children: Leidy, Annie and 
Estella.  Mr. Ahlum farms about one hundred and sixteen 
acres of land, nearly all of which is in a high state of 
cultivation.  He is a member of the German Reformed church, 
and politically is a democrat.
