GEORGE HEIMLICH, a highly respected and substantial citizen of Marion County, who owns a fine farm of 160 acres of
excellent land in section 27, Richland township, which he devotes to the growing of grain and the raising of stock, was born
September 5, 1842, in Hatten, Alsace France, which is now included in Germany. He is the youngest son of Jacob and
Dorothy (Heimlich) Heimlich.

The parents of Mr. Heimlich were also natives of Hatten, Alsace. Jacob Heimlich learned the shoemaker's trade; his father
was a manufacturer of spinning wheels. In 1847 Jacob Heimlich and family emigrated to America, crossing the ocean in a
sailing vessel, which required 30 days to complete the voyage. They settled immediately in Marion County, Ohio, the father
buying a farm of 80 acres in Richland township, from a Mr. Kramer. The country was still more or less of a wilderness,
much of the land being swampy and covered with a heavy growth of timber. The Heimlich family moved into a small log
house standing on the land and resided in it until 1861, when Jacob Heimlich built a part of our subject's present comfortable
residence. he died on this farm, January 15, 1873, aged 64 years. His wife died when 72 years of age. They endured many
privations and hardships for some years after settling here. Both were thrifty and industrious and made the most of their
surroundings. Jacob Heimlich worked at his trade whenever occasion offered, being the first shoemaker to settle in these
parts. The family consisted of three children, namely: Dorothy, deceased, who was the wife of Charles Rushman; Magdalena,
deceased , who was the wife of Joseph Kehner; and George the subject of this sketch.

George Heimlich was five years old when his parents came to America. He grew up in Richland township and assisted first
in clearing the homestead farm and later in cultivating it. He remembers the time when the hay was cut with a scythe and the
old-fashioned cradle was used in the harvesting of the grain. The present expensive but effective farm machinery had not
even been thought of at that time. When he was only a boy in years, he was able and was expected to do a man's work in the
field. While he found but little time to attend school, he became a thorough master of everything concerning successful and
productive farming. Game continued plentiful in his neighborhood up to his young manhood Although he found little time to
spare for hunting, on many occasions the family larder was well filled with venison and wild turkey.

On June 19, 1864, Mr. Heimlich was married to Barbara Augenstein, who was born in Ellmendingen, Baden, Germany,
October 16, 1942, and is a daughter of Earnest and Christina (Augenstein) Augenstein. The parents of Mrs. Heimlich were
both natives of Baden, where they married and where two children were born, namely: Christina, who is the wife of
Frederick Linhard; and Barbara, wife of our subject. After settling in Waldo township, Marion County, they had four more
children, as follows: Frederick, William, John and Mary, the last named of whom married John Nitherd. The parents died in
Waldo township in advanced age. Mrs. Heimlich was six months old when she was brought to America.

To Mr. and Mrs. Heimlich were born 11 children, as follows: William, who married Mary Neibower and has two children
Otto and Carl; Mary, who married John Weist and has three children-George, Laverne and Franklin; Charles, who married
Julia Mochel; John, a trustee of Richland township, who married Elizabeth Ebert and has five children Clifford, Doldan,
Milton, Flora and Wilbur; Clara, who married Harper Sees and has two children-Rayinond and Mabel; Ella, twin sister of
Clara, who married Samuel Shore and has four children-Gladys, Dorothy, Ida and Ernest; Emma, who married Samuel
Leonard and has four children-Harry, Mary, Edna and Loren; Wesley, who married (first) Welsey Rorchard, and (second)
Amelia Rorchard, and has one child bv each marriage; Henry, who married Minnie Kraner and has three children-Eda,
Edward and Franklin; Dora, who married Guy Case and has one child, Carl; and Bertha, who married Charles Wick and has
one child, Marion. Mr. Heimlich has all his children settled in Marion Comity, with the exception of Wesley, Charles and
John, who reside in Morrow County. It is a large, closely united and and prosperous family.

In late years. Mr. Heimlich has turned the larger part of the farming over to his son Henry. As his father's only son, our
subject inherited the homestead farm and here he has resided since childhood. He has made many improvements and his
property ranks with the other first-class farms of Richland township.

Politically, Mr. Heimlich has been a strong Democrat all his life. He has served as township trustee and during his two terms
in office performed the duties incumbent upon him to the satisfaction of his fellow-citizens. His son John, as previously
mentioned, has filled the same office. Mr. Heimlich and family belong to the Lutheran Church, in which he has served as an
elder for the past 30 years.
