A native of Austria, Mr. Langhammer was born in Carlspaatz, that country, Dec. 29, 1860 and came to the United States in 1881. Two years later he was joined by his sweetheart, Miss Ottillia Fisher, to who he had been betrothed in Austria, and they were married at Petersburg, this county, Feb. 22, 1883.

The Clinton Eye of Aug. 27th speaks of Mr. Langhammer as follows: Mr. Langhammer, who was a man of strong personality and sturdy character, was a natural lover of the soil and as fine at growing fruit as at general farming. Rich returns were his from the land he tilled and from the acres he knew so well how to rotate in crops to keep them highly productive. Dependable, reliable and a constant worker, he gave a worthy heritage to his children and built respect for himself and family among his neighbors and friends.
