URIAH M. ENGLEMAN was born in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, December 22, 1828. His schooling was somewhat more extended than that of many others of his age, for in connection with the instruction of the common schools, he had the advantage of a course at Allentown Academy. He removed to Berks County when in his twenty-fourth year, and kept a hotel for five years. Becoming dissatisfied with this calling, he returned to Lehigh County, and directed his attention toward farming. After a short stay in that locality, he came to Miami County, Indiana, and thence to Logan County, Illinois, where he farmed for three years. Not being greatly fascinated with the country, he returned to Miami County again, and engaged in the boot and shoe trade at Peru in connection with farming. The venture not proving to be successful in the highest degree, he disposed of the business, and finally came to this county in 1878. Locating on his present farm of 533 acres of choice farming land, and again turning his attention wholly to the operations of the farm.
Mr. Engleman was married, November 3, 1850, to Miss Diana Z. Reichenback, who was a native of Pennsylvania, born May 16, 1831. Their children are Quintius T., born October 16, 1851; Marquis L., November 15, 1852, and married to Miss Ross at present; Thomas A., January 28, 1854, whose wife is Nancy A. King; Ellen V., November 18, 1857, now the wife of Mr. F. Tobias; Lucetta A., the wife of James Snyder, who died December 18, 1878; Sarah, born April 1, 1861; Erasmus N., July 15, 1863, and died the same year; Milton, July 6, 1867; Lulu S., October 31, 1875; Tilden F., February 15, 1878, and Calvin G., August 28, 1880.
Thomas Engleman, Mr. E's father, was born in the same county about the year 1800, and married Julia Ann Heist. There were three children by this marriage, a daughter and two sons. The daughter is still a resident of Lehigh County. Mr. Emrick's grandfather was a native of the same county, and a soldier in the War of 1812. His grandmother, Sarah (Owen) Engleman, was of English lineage, and through her and other of his relatives he can trace his connection to some of the most wealthy and influential families of the Middle States. Mrs. Engleman, Jr's,parents were Peter and Sarah (Zellner) Reichenback. A view of Mr. Engleman's fine dwelling and of his farm buildings as seen from the southeast are to be found elsewhere in the work. He is a gentleman universally esteemed, and one that bids fair to enjoy his portion of this earth's goods for a number of years yet, for he looks as hale and hearty as many a man thirty, but for the hoary frosts of years that have settled upon his locks.
