JACOB W. LOGAN,
a former member of the board of county commissioners for
Auglaize county, a former treasurer of Union township and a well
known mill man now living retired at Uniopolis, is a member of
one of the real pioneer families of this section of Ohio and has
lived hereabout all his life, a period of more than seventy-five
years. Mr. Logan was born in the neighboring county
of Allen on Oct. 25, 1847, and is a son of
James and Christina (Weaver)
Logan, who later became residents of
Auglaize county, where their last days were spent.
JAMES LOGAN was
born in Champaign county, this state, and was eighteen years of
age when in 1833 he came up here with his parents, the family
settling on a woodland farm in Allen county. That was
fifteen years before the erection of Auglaize county, a large
part of which at that time was included in Allen county.
After his marriage James Logan continued to make his home
in Allen county until in 1865, when he came down over the line
into this county and bought a farm of eighty acres in Union
township, where he established his home and spent the remainder
of his life. He and his wife were the parents of ten
children, all of whom grew to maturity save two and five of whom
are still living, the subject of this sketch having two sisters,
Sarah and Rose, and two brothers, James and
Josiah M. Logan, Jacob W. Logan was seventeen
years of age when the family located in Union township and he
grew to manhood there, helping his father improve and develop
the home farm. He married when twenty-one years of age and
continued on the farm until in 1880, when he became engaged in
the saw mill business at Uniopolis. For ten years, or
until the big timber was pretty well gotten out of the way in
that vicinity, Mr. Logan carried on his saw mill and then
he erected a flour mill in the village and carried on with that
enterprise for eight years, at the end of which time he sold the
mill and moved to Wapakoneta. Two years later he resumed
milling and for two years afterward operated a saw mill in Logan
county, after which he returned to Uniopolis, where he has since
resided, now living practically retired. Mr. Logan
is a Democrat and has rendered public service in several
important capacities. In 1890 he was elected to represent
his district on the board of county commissioners and by
re-election served in this office for six years (1891-97), thus
having been a member of the board under whose direction the
present court house was erected. He also served for five
years as treasurer of Union township and has likewise served as
assessor for the village of Uniopolis. He is a member of
the Masonic lodge at Wapakoneta and he and his wife are members
of the Church of Christ at Uniopolis. On Mar. 16, 1869,
Jacob W. Logan was united in marriage to Sarah E.
Carter, a member of one of the old families of Union
township, and to this union thirteen children were born, six of
whom - Melville, Blanche, Emma, Grover,
Callie and Veema - are deceased, the survivors
being Floy, Catherine, Sylvia, Charles,
Jacob, Vincent H. and Von W., all of whom
are married. The late Melville married Melissa
Gessler and had two daughters, Mrs. Mamie
Roberts and Mrs. Eva McGuff.
Floy Logan married Charles Beer and
has four children, Ward, Donald, Marjorie
and Harold, the first named of whom married Ruth
Sailor and has two sons, Sailor and Donald.
Catherine Logan married Otto Burden
and has five children, Lela, Gerald, Ruth,
Mary and Betty Jane. Von W. Logan
married Mattie Armstrong and has five
children, Hubert, Dorothy, Roger, Elaine
and Von. Charles Logan has been twice
married and by his first wife, Anna Hartzog, now
deceased, has two children, Ruby and Roger.
Jacob Logan married Mary Camelmire
and has two children, Robert V. and Jacob.
Vincent H. Logan married Clara Kuntz, of
Wapakoneta.

J. H. LUTTERBECK,
a member of one of the pioneer families of
Washington township and the proprietor of a well improved
farm in that township, about two miles northeast of New
Knoxville, was born in that township and has lived there all
his life, a period of nearly seventy years, and has thus
seen that region develop from its woodland state.
Mr. Lutterbeck was born on a woodland farm just
southwest of New Knoxville, in the very southwest corner of
Washington township, on Apr. 8, 1855, and is a son of
William and Elizabeth Lutterbeck, natives of Germany,
who had come here with their respective parents in the days
of their youth and were here married. William
Lutterbeck was a well-grown boy when he came here.
That was during the time of the construction of the canal up
through this part of the state, and he secured employment
with the construction gang and thus helped to finish the
canal. After his marriage he bought a woodland tract
of fifty-four acres just southwest of the village of New
Knoxville and proceeded to clear and improve the same, and
later bought an adjoining "forty" there. On that place
he made his home until 1872, when he bought back a tract of
a fraction more than 162 acres along the creek in the
northwest quarter of section 22 of Washington township, a
part of which place is now owned by the subject of this
sketch, and on this latter place spent the remainder of his
life, a progressive and successful farmer. He and his
wife had three children who grew to maturity, the subject of
this sketch and his brothers, Herman (deceased) and
Louis Lutterbeck, of Cleveland. J. H.
Lutterbeck grew up on the home farm, receiving his
schooling in the schools of New Knoxville, and until his
marriage continued farming in association with his father.
After his marriage he rented a part of the home farm and
began farming on his own account. Upon the death of
his father not long afterward, he and his brothers divided
the farm and he came into possession of the home acres,
where he ever since has lived, and where he and his family
are quite comfortably situated. Mr. Lutterbeck
has a well-improved farm of ninety-one acres, and with the
assistance of his sons is carrying on his operations there
in successful fashion. He is a Republican and he and
his family are members of the Reformed church at New
Knoxville. J. H. Lutterbecck married Anna
Katterbeinrich a member of the well-known pioneer family
of that name in Washington township, and to this union have
bee born eight children, Lena, Emma, Dora, William,
Bertha, Jacob, Ferd and Alvina, all of
whom are married save Dora and the two last named.
Lena Lutterbeck married Louis Hulsmeyer and
has three children, Orlando, Marie and Alice.
Emma Lutterbeck married Ernest Hoge, and has
three children, Norman, Kermit and Elda.
William Lutterbeck married Lena Opperman and has
three children, Vernon, Orin and Grace.
Bertha Lutterbeck married Ernest Harlament and
Jacob Lutterbeck married Ella Luederke and has
one child, a son, Myron. The Lutterbeck
home is pleasantly situated on rural mail route No.3
out of St. Marys. Mrs. Anna Lutterbeck was born
in Washington township and is a daughter of Henry and
Elizabeth (Niemeyer) Katterheinrich who came here from
Cincinnati some time following their immigration from
Germany, where they were married, and who became well-to-do
farming people in Washington township. Of their ten
children, four are still living, Mrs. Lutterbeck
having a sister, Lena, and two brothers, Henry
and Herman Katterheinrich.
