Noah Berkey
One of the prominent and honored early residents of Marshall county is Noah Berkey, who for many years has been extensively engaged in the tilling of its soil.
He was born twenty miles north of Toronto, Canada, January 26, 1837, a son of Isaac and Gertrude (Blough) Berkey, both of whom were born in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. After their marriage they went to Canada, where they farmed for ten years, and then returned to the states and took up their abode in Elkhart County, Indiana. This was in the year of 1840, and they entered land and became the owners of one hundred and ninety acres. On this estate they spent the remainder of their lives, the father dying in 1874, and the mother five years later, in 1879.
In the family of these honored Indiana pioneers were seven sons and four daughters, and as the family were in limited circumstances the children were obliged to begin the battle of life for themselves at an early age. The educational training of their son Noah was thus very meager in his early youth, and he worked on the farm until 1869. It was in that year that he came to Marshall County, and here he became identified with the saw-milling business in company with his brother James in Center Township. This section of the state was at that time thickly covered with timber, and the sawmill was one of its most valuable institutions, a boon to the early pioneers who had to clear their land and prepare their own building materials.
Mr Berkey continued in the business for three and a half years. He also purchased one hundred and fifty-five acres of land in section 14, which he cleared and improved and placed it under its present high state of cultivation. Here he has been engaged in general farming and stock-raising for many years, and for nine years he also represented his townsmen in the office of township assessor. He affiliates with the Democratic Party.
Mr Berkey married, in 1861, Eliza Anglemyers, who died in 1862, and in 1867 he married Elizabeth Whitehead.
She died on the 16th of November, 1885, leaving five children: Chauncey, an agriculturist of Bourbon township; William, who is with his father; Bessie, now Mrs Hatfield; and two deceased, a son aged twenty-one years, and a daughter aged nineteen.
As a citizen Mr Berkey is held in high esteem in his community, and Marshall county is proud to claim him among her honored pioneers.
