The biographical volume is not South Bend only — it carries the township's physician, miller, trustee, principal and oldest resident. Adam W. Shidler of Lakeville, the 1854 miller. Dr. John Moore of Lakeville (b. 1836, Millersburg, Ohio; d. 23 April 1904) — studied medicine with his brother Robert at Lakeville, practiced forty years, master of the Lakeville lodge at his death. Mahlon Heston, who at fifteen "practically cleared the old homestead" and retired into Lakeville in 1892. Christopher Fuchs, trustee 1904, on the homestead his Bavarian parents founded in 1850. Charles Ludwig Schafer (b. 1859 in the township), of the 590-acre Schafer estate. Peter Slough, of the five saw-milling Sloughs. Lemen Shafer and his brothers Henry, William and George. John Siefer, of "one of the oldest" families in the township. John Eastburn, of the farm two and a half miles southeast of Lakeville. Charles E. Bailey, principal of the Union Township high school at Lakeville — three rooms, 125 pupils, in his fourth year in 1907. The Row family: Jacob D. Row, veterinary surgeon, removed near Lakeville in 1906; his daughter Clara married Clarence Rensberger, a merchant of Lakeville. Colonel Charles Ream. Edward Jackson, who ran a Union Township sawmill with his father and brothers for fifteen years. The Smith brothers, Jonathan J. and Barney C., of Jacob Smith's 1857 forest clearing. The Mangus line: Jacob Mangus, who bought 160 acres in 1855 and died building his hewed-log cabin; George Mangus; and the widow Mary (Kaser) Mangus still in the township in 1907 — the surname the famous-people file carries out of this ground a generation later, the kinship not stated in either file's carriers and not asserted here. The Lonzo grandparents, Moses and Marguerite, "settled on a farm south of Lakeville". The Byers line, on 160 acres from Benjamin's childhood. A Mr. Nicar, five years the township's assessor. The cluster is the yield of a full-text search of the volume for the township's names, read in context — a tested-positive result, with its limit stated in the closing article.
