HENRY REHM

Henry Rehm, a leading farmer of Richland township, was born in Hesse, Germany,
in 1835, and came to America in 1857, when twenty-two years of age. He is the
son of John and Catherine (Nubb) Rehm, natives of Hesse, his father being a
son of John Rehm. After coming to this country, he remained at Wheeling
several years and was there married in 1867 to Catherine, daughter of George
Otto. She is also a native of Hesse, born in 1842. In 1874 Mr. Rehm removed
to Richland township, settling on the land he now lives upon. While at
Wheeling he had charge of the Reiman brewery for several years, but since
coming to Ohio he has been engaged in farming, in which by good management
and economy he has been notably successful. He now has a good farm of 100
acres, with a handsome two-story brick dwelling, and other valuable improve-
ments. His success has been of a kind highly deserving of notice considering
that his capital on reaching this country amounted to only $4.00. Mr. Rehm
has seven children: John, Elizabeth, Anna, Lena, George, Powell and Henry.
