PETER J. BAUMGARTNER
Although brought up on a farm on which he grew to manhood, Peter J. Baumgartner forsook the farm and engaged in a mercantile pursuit which he continues today. He is the owner of one of the largest and most complete and profitable hardware stores in northeastern Indiana. He is of Swiss parentage. His father and mother, Peter and Fannie (Basinger) Baumgartner, were among the early pioneers of Adams county. The father was born in Switzerland and the mother in France. When they came to the United States they hurried to the west and settled in the woods. The land they secured was heavily timbered and wholly without improvements. It was the home of Indians and was full of wild game, such as turkeys, deer and wolves. They lived for a time in Wayne county, Ohio, but removed to Adams county in 1S42, where they commenced farming in French township. Peter J. Baumgartner was born November 5, 1853, on the French township farm. He spent his boyhood on the farm and secured his education in the township schools. He remained with his father until he reached his majority, and then decided to take up a mercantile life. He was employed for five years following his departure from the home farm as a carpenter and then opened a hardware business in Berne. This business was a small one at its start, but there was a vast amount of pluck behind it, and a determination on the part of the owner to make it successful in all respects. He continued his business for a few years and then engaged as a clerk in the store of L. A. Brickley & Son. However, he resumed his hardware business in 1888 and enlarged it at different times until it reached its present capacity and volume.
Mr. Baumgartner's father died in 1885 and the same year his son was married to Miss Bertha L. Saurer, a daughter of John and Marian (Tschandrey) Saurer. His wife's parents came to this country from Switzerland and were among the older inhabitants of Adams county. Their farm was originally located in a wilderness and under their management and development became in time very valuable. Mr. and Mrs. Baumgartner became the parents of eight children. Four are still living: Homer H, Grover C., Lima E., and Carl. Those dead are: Elroy P., Mahala M., Howard and one that died unnamed in infancy.
Since he resumed his hardware business in 1888 it has prospered and developed until today it yields a handsome profit. The store building is admirably adapted to its purpose and a complete line of hardware and implements is carried. Mr. Baumgartner is an aggressive and wide-awake business man who appreciates the value of modern methods and conducts his business accordingly. He is a public-spirited citizen and a man who is interested in all movements for the improvement of Berne and Adams county. He takes a leading part in such matters and contributes his support to them generously. He is a Democrat in politics and is a staunch supporter of his party in his section of the state. He has never aspired to public office but works in harmony with the members of his party. He has accumulated considerable property and is interested in several enterprises. One of his most valued possessions is a summer home at Odin, near Petoskey, Michigan. It is at this place that Mr. Baumgartner spends his summers and he is a keen lover of out of door life and activities. He is an esteemed member of the Reformed church and contributes generously to its support.
