[Rochester, Indiana] See Erie Market and Grocery PERSCHBACHER, GEORGE [Rochester, Indiana] BIOGRAPHY On the 18th day of January, 1794, in the Grand Dutchy of Hesse Darmstadt, German Empire, one John George Perschbacher made his advent into this world. He lived a humble life in his native country and received such an education as the schools of his native land afforded. April 23, 1825, he was united in marriage to Anna D. Grayer. This lady was born at Schaafheim, in the same country, July 1, 1802. They remained in their native country eight years, then set sail for America April 19, 1833. After a long and tedious voyage of seventy-seven days, they landed at Baltimore on the 5th day of July, 1833. They located near Baltimore, and the next year in York County, Penn. In 1839, they immigrated to Wayne County, Ind., thence in 1846 to this county. This at that time was a comparatively new country, and Mr. Perschbacher was compelled to endure many of the hardships of pioneer life, but he had learned before what it was to toil. After arriving at Baltimore and purchasing some of the necessities of life he had but 75 cents in money left; but by hard labor, industry and economy he had laid by enough to purchase a valuabel tract of land in this county. This he improved and here he surrounded himself with comfortable and commodious farm buildings. They were consistent members of the Lutheran Church, with which they were identified from childhood. Mr. Perschbacher died March 23, 1866, in his seventy-third year. Mrs. Perschbacher then lived with a son on the homestead until April 24, 1881, when she also passed over the turbid river, esteemed and regretted by all her acquaintances. This couple
Pe were the parents of nine children, of whom George, the subject of this sketch, was the fourth, born in the vicinity of Baltimore July 7, 1833, but two days after his parents arrived in that port. He made all the changes of location with his parents, being yet under thirteen years of age when they came to this county. His early life was spent on his father’s farm assisting in the common farm duties. He improved his opportunities at school, excelled in his studies, and became one of the leading teachers of his day, occupying that position for four consecutive winter terms. Mr. P. was very industrious and economical, saving his earnings to apply on the purchase of a home for himself. In his twenty-fourth year, he was united in marriage to Miss Jane Wright, April 2, 1857. James Wright, the father of Mrs. Perschbacher, was a native of Maryland, born July 26, 1813. He immigrated, in childhood, with his parents, to Preble County, Ohio, where he received a common school education, and was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Reid, March 26, 1836. William Reid, the father of Mrs. Wright, was a native of Virginia. He served his country in the war of 1812, afer which he married Miss Sarah McClung, a native of Pennsylvania, whence they removed and settled in Preble County, Ohio, where their daugher, Mrs. Wright, was born December 12, 1818. Mr. Wright, having been reared on the fontier, was a fit subject to become a pioneer of Fulton County. He immigrated to this county, arriving in the early part of March, 1837, when there was only two or three other families in Newcastle Township, and they arrived only a few days prior to himself. When he located on the Wright homestead it was an unbroken forest and his nearest neighbor was four miles distant. Here these sturdy pioneers began in life by first erecting a cabin to shelter themselves from the storms. In May following, three other families came and located on lands adjoining. Here in this humble pioneer cabin, surrounded by the dusky sons of the forest, was born on the 2d day of July, 1837, the first white child born in Newcastle Township, north of the Tippecanoe River, and, as far as the writer has been abe to learn, the first in the township. This was the first child and only daugher born to Mr. and Mrs. Wright, whom they named Jane, and who afterward became Mrs. George Perschbacher. She entered school at six years of age, in school taught by Robert Gordon, in the vicinity of her father’s residence, where she attended school for several terms. She afterward attended school at Rochester for a number of terms. Mrs. Perschbacher’s father, James Wright, died at his residence, May, 1870, and her mother in May, 1881. They had long been consistent members of the Baptist Church and died in the hope of a blissful immortality. After marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Perschbacher, located on the farm on which they yet reside, consisting at that time of less than 120 acres, but to which Mr. P. has added until at present he is the owner of some 540 acres of land. With the industry for which he had always been noted, Mr. Perschbacher now set to work improving his home. There were many trees to fell, and much other hard labor to perform. Yet he felt himself adequate to the task and went at it with the determiniation to accomplish it. How well he has succeeded can easily be determined by those who pass by his premises, as he has one of the most beautiful farms in the township. For many years he has been an extensive dealer in stock, usually in the purchase and shipment of fat hogs, thus circulating thousands of dollars annually in the vicinity of his home. He is extensively and favorably known in this and adjoining counties. At the fall election of 1872, Mr. Perschbacher was elected County Assessor and Land Appraiser, which position he occupied for two years with general satisfaction to the people and with credit to himself. He occupies a very prominent place in the Fulton County Agricultural and Mechanical Association, having been an active member ever since its organization. Mr. Perschbacher and family are members of and regular attendants at the Lutheran Church, he believing it to be the duty of the ministry to be punctual at services to minister to those who attend; and being the duty of the ministry it is also the duty of the membership in order that there be some to minister unto. Believing this to be right, Mr. P. allows nothing but sickness to keep himself and family from divine services.
