J. H. Kircher
J.
H. KIRCHER - Kircher, Begler & Co., dealers in coal, grain,
lumber,
lath, lime, cement, stucco, etc., became established in business in
Larrabee, Iowa, in February, 1889. They own a large elevator
that
can handle 2,000 bushels of grain per day, and has a storage capacity
of 10,000 bushels. Larrabee, although a small town, is
surrounded
by a rich and productive country, and ships as much stock and grain as
any other town in the county. J. H. Kircher's family
has
been identified with the interests of Cherokee County since the year
1873; he was born in Shiawasse County, Michigan, in March 1864, and is
a son of Jacob Kircher, a prominent and well-known farmer of Rock
Township. J. H. was reared to the life of a farmer, and
received
a thorough education at Storm Lake, Iowa, an advantage not enjoyed by
many of the early settlers of the county. After leaving
agricultural pursuits he was engaged in carpenter's work for some time
and finally left that trade to embark in h is present business.
He is a young man of excellent business qualifications, and
has
attained an enviable position in the community both from a financial
and social standpoint. He has just erected a fine dwelling
house
which adds much to the appearance of the residence portion of the
village. Mr. Kircher is numbered among Larrabee's most popular and
energetic business men. Biographical History of Cherokee
