H. L. Sweitzer is a son of Levis and Susan (Leverich) Sweitzer, and was born in Indiana in November, 1832. Four years afterward his parents moved to Iowa and settled on a farm in Cedar county, where they still reside. The son remained at home until 1854, when he came to Shell Rock, and soon after his arrival purchased a farm near Clarksville. This homestead he sold in 1865, and he now owns 220 acres of land in Butler county.

Mr. Sweitzer has held several of the town offices at different times, and is a member of the village board at the present date. He was married in January, 1860, to Cynthia Bussey. Their children are: Dellis, Willie and Mary.
