***
John Anglemyer, who for the past thirty-eight years has been a citizen of Elkhart county, Ind, and for the most part a resident of Union township, was born on his father's farm in Westmoreland county, Penn, and was one of ten children reared by Adam and Elizabeth (Siple) Anglemyer.
The father, Adam Anglemyer, was born in Berks county, Penn, in 1777, and was one of ten or twelve children. He was of German descent and a descendant of a prominent family. His death occurred in 1858, when eighty-one years of age. His wife, who was also a native of Pennsylvania, was born in 1783, and died in 1876, when nearly ninety-four years of age. She was an eye-witness of the funeral procession of Gen George Washington. This old couple were married in their native State and made their home there for a number of years, eight of their children being born there. Mr Adam Anglemyer lost his home in the Keystone State by going security. Thinking to better his condition, he emigrated with his family, in 1821, to Columbiana county, Ohio, where for a number of years he lived on a rented farm. He was a cripple, but worked at his trade, tailor, managed to get along and finally secured a home. During his early life he was a member of the Presbyterian Church, but at the time of his death was a German Baptist. He was a man devoted to his home, firm in his ideas, and public spirited and enterprising. In early life his wife was a Presbyterian, but she also became identified with the German Baptist Church.
Their children were named as follows: Martha, married John Coblentz, of Columbiana county, Ohio, both are now deceased; Sarah, married John Hilburn and lived in Canada, she is now deceased; Jacob, married Rebecca Sumners, reared a family and died in Ohio; Joseph, married Margaret Mellinger and reared a family and died in his native county; Solomon, married Catherine Smith and now resides in Huntington county, this State, and reared a large family; John (subject); Adam, married Hannah Hoke, both died in this State and left a family; Ephraim, married Lucinda Seidner, who died in Miami county, Ind, and left a family; Elizabeth had a large family, also died in Miami county, and was the wife of Jacob Seidner; and Susan, who is now living in Union township, this county, and is the wife of George Grove and the mother of four children.

***
John Anglemyer, who for the past thirty-eight years has been a citizen of Elkhart county, Ind, and for the most part a resident of Union township, was born on his father's farm in Westmoreland county, Penn, and was one of ten children reared by Adam and Elizabeth (Siple) Anglemyer.
The father, Adam Anglemyer, was born in Berks county, Penn, in 1777, and was one of ten or twelve children. He was of German descent and a descendant of a prominent family. His death occurred in 1858, when eighty-one years of age. His wife, who was also a native of Pennsylvania, was born in 1783, and died in 1876, when nearly ninety-four years of age. She was an eye-witness of the funeral procession of Gen George Washington. This old couple were married in their native State and made their home there for a number of years, eight of their children being born there. Mr Adam Anglemyer lost his home in the Keystone State by going security. Thinking to better his condition, he emigrated with his family, in 1821, to Columbiana county, Ohio, where for a number of years he lived on a rented farm. He was a cripple, but worked at his trade, tailor, managed to get along and finally secured a home. During his early life he was a member of the Presbyterian Church, but at the time of his death was a German Baptist. He was a man devoted to his home, firm in his ideas, and public spirited and enterprising. In early life his wife was a Presbyterian, but she also became identified with the German Baptist Church.
Their children were named as follows: Martha, married John Coblentz, of Columbiana county, Ohio, both are now deceased; Sarah, married John Hilburn and lived in Canada, she is now deceased; Jacob, married Rebecca Sumners, reared a family and died in Ohio; Joseph, married Margaret Mellinger and reared a family and died in his native county; Solomon, married Catherine Smith and now resides in Huntington county, this State, and reared a large family; John (subject); Adam, married Hannah Hoke, both died in this State and left a family; Ephraim, married Lucinda Seidner, who died in Miami county, Ind, and left a family; Elizabeth had a large family, also died in Miami county, and was the wife of Jacob Seidner; and Susan, who is now living in Union township, this county, and is the wife of George Grove and the mother of four children.
The original of this notice was born December 16, 1818, on his fathers farm in the Keystone State, and he was a child of three years when his parents moved to Ohio. He grew to mature years in Columbiana county, that State, attended the common district schools and worked as a farm boy until twenty-one years of age. After this he worked on a farm by the month, and on March 16, 1843, was married to Miss Margaret Hoke, a native of Columbiana county, Ohio. After marriage he worked at the shoemaker's trade and also followed farming, and in 1849 moved on a farm in Columbiana county, tilling the soil until 1853. Three children were born to them in that county, one in the State of Indiana, and in the fall of 1853 and the early part of 1854 the family moved to Elkhart county, Ind. They settled in Union township and bought a farm of eighty acres on Section 16. This farm was then nearly all in the woods, but Mr Anglemyer began improving the place and added to it until he at one time owned 240 acres, and has a fine, well-improved farm. In religion he is a German Baptist. He has been a member of that church for forty years, is an elder in the same, and is much interested in religious and educational matters. As a farmer he has met with success. He is an upright, worthy citizen and one of the foremost farmers. His wife was a daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Longanecker) Hoke and the granddaughter of Martin and Margaret (Mellinger) Hoke.
The Hoke family is of German origin; Martin Hoke, grandfather of Mrs Anglemyer, was born in Pennsylvania and came to Ohio at an early date. He went back to bring on his family but died. His widow then moved to the Buckeye State with the three children - Henry, John and Elizabeth - and here passed the remainder of her days, dying in Columbiana county.
Henry Hoke, the father of Mrs Anglemyer, was born in Berks county, Penn, March 10, 1799, but was reared in Columbiana county, Ohio. He was married February 15, 1820, and settled on a farm, where his death occurred August 19, 1857. Mr Hoke was a stanch Republican, a member of the German Baptist Church, and a leading man in his neighborhood. He held a number of offices in the township and for several years was a school teacher. His wife was born in the Keystone State July 28, 1800, and was a daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Mack) Longanecker. She was a member of the German Baptist Church and died in November, 1875, when seventy-five years of age.
This worthy couple were the parents of several children, as follows: Samuel, married to Anna Paulding, died in Union township, Elkhart county, leaving a widow and two children; Isaac, married to Eliza Weaver, and resided in Elkhart township from 1853 until 1890, and then died, leaving a family of eight children, all in this county; Sarah, married Conrad Rhodes and had a family of thirteen children (she is now a resident of Butler county, Penn); Margaret (Mrs Anglemyer); Martin, married Catharine Metz and resides in Huntington county, this State, and is the father of eight children; Lydia, married Jacob Kitch and both are now deceased (they left one child, Amanda); Jonas, married Rebecca Halverstalt, resides in Columbiana county, Ohio, and has seven children; George, married Catharine Buzzard, resides in Harrison township, Elkhart county, and has seven children.
