							JACOB FRUTH.  
							We name here one of the young and vigorous 
							representatives of the agricultural class of Hancock 
							county, who is making for himself a reputation as a 
							scientific farmer.  He resides in Washington 
							township, where he operates a farm of seventy-five 
							acres.  His birth occurred in Seneca county, 
							Ohio, May 29, 1874, the name of his father being 
							John F. Fruth, and his mother's maiden name, 
							Marie Peter  The former was born in 
							Germany, May 21, 1853, while the latter is a native 
							of Seneca county, Ohio.  In 1854, John F. 
							Fruth, the father is a worthy and practical 
							farmer, a member of the United Brethren church, and 
							a citizen of whom the county may well be proud.  
							His family include three children, namely:  
							Jacob; Willie C.; and Kate A. 
							     Jacob Fruth, who is 
							the immediate subject of this paragraph, was reared 
							for the most part in Seneca county, in the schools 
							of which he received his elementary education, it 
							being of a character to fit him for the duties of 
							life.  Mar. 29, 1900, occurred his marriage, 
							the lady being the accomplished daughter of 
							Gottlieb and Lydia Mertz, her name being the 
							same as that of her mother.  The union has been 
							blessed with a bright little boy, Ross R., 
							who was born Mar. 23, 1901.  Mrs. Fruth 
							was born at Fostoria, Ohio, Sept. 12, 1880.  
							Her people are a German descent.  Both husband 
							and wife are acceptable members of the Methodist 
							Episcopal church, in which they are active workers.  
							They combine many fine social qualities and are 
							highly esteemed by all.
