JOHN BIRKHIMER

BIRKHIMER, John, farmer, P. O. Hamburg; born in Perry county, Ohio, August 4, 1834. In the spring of 1854 he removed to Washington county, Ohio. The four winters following were passed in teaching school in Jefferson county. In 1858 he moved to Ringgold county, and in the autumn of the following year he was elected county treasurer. In 1861 he returned to Jefferson county, where he resided until the spring of 1874, when he came to this county. Mr. BIRKHEIMER has held a number of township offices since coming to this county, all of which he has filled with great acceptability. In 1880 he was the census enumerator for Madison township. He was married while a resident of Jefferson county, to Miss Amanda Van OSTRAND, by whom he had six children, four now living: Edwin, born September 13, 1859; William, born February 11, 1861; Charles, born December 13, 1863 and Alice, born August 26, 1874. Two are dead: Eliza, died October 29, 1859, and Mary, died November 2, 1871.

Mr. BIRKHEIMER is an extensive farmer, and deals in stock on a large scale.
