PROF.
JOSEPH F.
KINSTLE.
One of the most popular and successful educators of Henry
county is the subject of these lines, who is residing in
Section 25, Pleasant township. He was born in that township,
June 24, 1865, and throughout his active business life has
been prominently identified with its educational interests.
Frederick Kinstle, father of our subject, was born in
Baden, Germany, September 5, 1819, and near Cleveland, Ohio,
married Miss Margaret Okuly, also a native of Germany, born
on the River Rhine, August 31, 1833. They began their
domestic life in Cleveland, but in 1855 became residents of
Pleasant township, Henry county, where the father died May
1,1890. In his family were the following children: Mary,
Louisa, Wendel, Frederick, Lizzie,
John, Joseph F., Albert
and Michael.
Professor Kinstle was reared in much the usual manner of
farmer boys, and in the common schools near his home he
began his education, which was supplemented with a course in
the Normal School at Danville, Indiana, and also the Normal
School at Ada, Ohio. After successfully teaching for a few
years, he entered Pio Nono College at St. Francis,
Wisconsin, near Milwaukee, where he pursued both his
literary and musical studies, graduating from that
institution in 1892. On his return home he resumed teaching
in the South Ridge special district in Pleasant township, of
which he has since had charge together with the other
schools of the township. He is a gentleman of scholarly
tastes, and has the power of readily imparting to others the
knowledge that he has acquired.
Since casting his first Presidential ballot Professor
Kinstle has supported the men and measures of the Democratic
party, and has taken a leading part in political matters in
his locality. Since the spring of 1894 he has capably served
as justice of the peace, and has filled the office of
township clerk since September, 1895, with credit to himself
and to the entire satisfaction of his constituents.
Religiously, he is a devout Catholic. As a teacher he has
but few equals in the county, and as a citizen he commands
the respect and esteem of all who know him.
