   JOHN EICHNER farmer, P.O. Richland Center, was born in 
Wurtemberg, Germany, in 1824, and came to America in 1847.  
He married Sophia, daughter of Michael and Elizabeth Croman. 
 They have had four children:  Mary, William, John Henry, 
and Martha, all living.  Our subject's parents were John 
Eichner and Christiana, from Germany.  Mrs. Eichner died in 
1877.  In 1879 our subject married Catherine Miller, who 
came to this country from Germany in 1849.  After landing in 
America Mr. Eichner worked three years as a hired man on a 
farm, after which he worked at the carpenter's trade.  In 
1855 he purchased the farm on which he is now living, and in 
1874 an additional tract of eighteen acres.  In 1875 he was 
elected school director and served two terms.  He is a
