HENRY SCHWARZENBACH
The first German settlers of Noble township were Joseph Weirich, Henry Ackerman and Henry Schwarzenbach, with their families. They came from Illinois in the fall of 1869, journeying overland, their household goods packed in their wagons.
Henry Schwarzenbach took up his residence on the northeast quarter of section 8, where he lived a few years, and then removed to Shelby county.
