Son Of Andreas Viebach and Sophie Reinhardt of Ronshausen Germany
The financial resources of Philip Fiebach were limited, and upon coming to this country from Germany he purchased merely one acre of land, upon the bank of the Vermilion river.- Upon this little plot of ground he established the family home. He secured employment on the farm of Elisha Swift and while he gave himself with all of energy and fidelity to the work in hand he was extremely frugal and economical, and after a time he was enabled to purchase a small tract of land and to engage in farming on his own account. Indefatigable in his labors and moved by definite ambition to press forward to the goal of independence and success, he carefully conserved his resources and as opportunity afforded he added to his landed holdings from time to time until he finally became the owner of a valuable estate of 200 acres, a portion of which was in Henrietta and Brownhelm townships, Lorain county, and the remainder in Florence township, Erie county. Mr. Fiebach exemplified the energy, industry and pragmatic ability so characteristic of the sturdy German race, which has contributed a most valuable element to the complex social fabric of our American republic, and he brought his land under most effective cultivation, developing the same into one of the most valuable agricultural tracts in this favored section of the state. It will thus be seen that he made of success not an accident but a logical result, and he so ordered his life in all its relations as to merit and retain the inviolable esteem of his fellow men. About six years prior to his demise he removed from his fine old homestead farm to the village of Vermilion, where he lived retired until his death, which occurred on the 24th of November, 1879, at the age of seventy-one years and nine months. His first wife, Anna (Schaub) Fiebach, died in Brownhelm township in 1866, having proved a devoted companion and helpmeet, and both were consistent and zealous members of the Evangelical Association. For his second wife, Philip Fiebach married Mrs. Anna Will, who survived him by several years.
