J. B. YETZER, farmer; P. O. Crestline.
Among the old and highly respected citizens of Vernon, and
especially of the thrifty Germans in its southern part, is the
above-named gentleman, who was born in Vogelsang, State of
Aargau, Switzerland, Apr. 15, 1819. With his parents he
removed to America in 1833, settling on his present property in
1834. His father died when the son was 22, leaving him as
almost the entire supporter of the family. The country at
that time being very wild, and requiring great labor, Mr.
Yetzer worked hard to make his farm profitable and to
support his father's family. He was married Mar. 25, 1845,
to Hippolyte Catty, who was a native of France; their
union was blessed with twelve children, six of whom are living.
His wife continued the journey of life with him until Dec. 23,
1876, when she died. Their children, who survive are all
in good condition in life, and are such as a father might be
proud of. Mr. Yetzer, throughout his life, has been
a consistent Christian, adhering strictly to the principles of
honest and upright integrity. He still lives on the farm
which his labor improved, and has a comfortable home and
pleasant surroundings. He stands high in the community,
and is one of the best-read men of his township, and has worked
hard to achieve his present prosperity, and is now spending the
days of his old age in the quiet of the scenes of his early
manhood.
