Lorenzo Burch was a son of Halbert and Mary Burch, and was only five years old when his father died. He attended public school in Otsego and York townships, and at the age of sixteen began his career of independent farming.
At the age of twenty-one, having inherited twenty three acres in section 11 of Otsego Township, he took possession and started in to build up his modest fortune. How well he has done his work is seen in his present farm of over 202 acres, nearly all of which he has bought from time to time out of the proceeds of his labors. He has improved his land with excellent buildings and carried on a diversified farming and stock raising business. His home is in section 12 of Otsego Township.
In 1887 Mr. Burch married Mina May Corey, daughter of George and Elizabeth(Teegardin) Corey. Mr. Burch has three children and several grandchildren. Ethel, his oldest daughter, married Alva Myers, and her children are Howard, Merl, Raymond and Donald. Edna is the wife of Glenn Rozell, and she has two children, Charles and Mildred. Fern married Etta Sewell and has a son, Kenneth Earl. The mother of these children died December 28, 1916.
Mr. Burch married for his present wife Mrs. Mary Everitt, daughter of Calvin Fee. Mr. Burch is a member of the Christian Church at Metz and is fraternally identified with the Knights of Pythias, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Rebekahs and Pythian Sisters.
