CHARLES NELSON
LEFFEL, proprietor of the C. N. Leffel
saw-mill of New Carlisle, has been a reident here since
1899, and is recognized as one of the substantial business
men of the village. He was born Dec. 24, 1869, on a
farm in Champaign County, Ohio, and is a son of Frederick
and Elitha (Long) Leffel.
FREDERICK LEFFEL, a native of
Clark County, was the eldest child of William Leffel,
who settled near the Black Horse Tavern at a very early
period. His early boyhood days were spent on the farm
and he later operated a water-power saw-mill and also a
threshing machine. He was first married to Mary
Slusser, who a native of Clark County, who died in
Champaign County, Ohio. Six children were born of this
union, but one of whom is living, Margaret Ann who is
the wife of David Poorman. His second marriage
was with Elitha Long a daughter of John Long
who came to Ohio from the east. Three children were
born of the second union, namely: Carry, who
married Charles Berry, of St. Paris, Ohio; Charles
Nelson, subject of this sketch; and George Franklin
of New Carlisle. The second wife died in Champaign
County, Ohio. Frederick Leffel sold his mill in
Champaign County and , coming to New Carlisle, purchased the
mill which our subject now operates. His death
occurred here in 1906, when he was seventy-five year of age.
Charles N. Leffel was educated in the public and
high schools of St. Paris. At the age of nine years he
began devoting his spare time to work in his father’s mill
and has since made milling his life occupation. He
operated a saw-mill in Memphis, Tenn., for about ten months,
and in 1889 he came to Clark County and operated his
father’s mill at New Carlisle until 1906, when he purchased
it and has since been engaged in business for himself,
employing eight men in the mill, which is situated on the P.
& E. division of the Big Four Railroad.
Mr. Leffel was first married in 1888 in
Champaign County, Ohio, to Elizabeth Apple, a
daughter of James and Susan Apple, and to them was
born one child, Blanche May. His second
marriage was with Pearl Mitchell, a daughter
of Walker and Sallie Mitchell, and of this union were
born three children—Catherine, Charles Frederick, and
Marietta. Mr. Leffel and family reside in their
commodious home on Church Street. Politically, Mr.
Leffel is a Democrat; fraternally he is connected
with the I. O. O. F. No. 505, of New Carlisle.
