  E. B. RENCH.   The well-improved farm upon which Mr. Rench resides, and of which he is the owner, is a very desirable property, for its fields are highly cultivated and good buildings afford ample shelter to grain and stock.  Through his business life he has been interested in agricultural pursuits.  He was born on a farm in Newton township on Christmas day, in 1852, one of nine children, six sons and three daughters, whose parents were Jacob and Sarah (Boggs) Rench.  His childhood and youth were passed in the usual manner of farmer lads of that period.  He gave his father the benefit of his services until he was twenty-one years of age, and then began farming on his own account by renting and operating the old homestead, and there he remained until 1883, when he removed to the farm upon which he now resides.  Here he owns forty acres of land on section 15, Newton township, and also has another farm of forty-six acres.  His attention is devoted to the cultivation of small fruits of all kinds, and for sixteen years he has also been engaged in the raising of tobacco, having eleven acres planted to Dutch tobacco in 1899.  All of the improvements upon his farm have been placed there since he took possession of it and it is now a highly cultivated tract, its fields being clean and well kept, the buildings and fences in good repair and everything neat and thrifty in appearance.
     Mr. Rench was born on an anniversary day and married to another, for on the 4th of July, 1876, he married Miss Clara Kinnison.  They now have eight children: Sadie, Eva J., Edward M., Susan M., Francis H., Ruth, Maude and Belle, but the last two are now deceased.  Such in brief is the life history of one who is widely and favorably known in Newton township as a native of Miami county.
