YENCER located in this county in 1861, and purchased the property where he now resides, which consists of 200 acres of land.  He is an active republican and has held the positions of township trustee and assessor for two years.  Mr. Yencer was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, Apr. 14, 1838, the son of Gideon and Lydia (Sechler) Yencer, natives respectively of Pennsylvania and France.  The former died when his son was but fifteen years of age, leaving him helpless.  He worked on a farm for two years and then learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed until November, 1860.  In 1865, Mr. Yencer enlisted for one year, and was discharged in June of that year.  While at Cumberland he was taken ill and sent to Fredericksburg, where he was discharged.  In 1860, Miss Edna L. Miller was united in marriage with Mr. Yencer, and four children are the issue of this union.  They are John F., Charles E. (deceased), Abraham Hayes and Samuel Tilden twins.  Mrs. Yencer who is a member of the Methodist church, is the daughter of Charles and Ruby (Roberts) Miller, of New Jersey.  Socially, the family occupies a prominent place in the estimation of the people of Auglaize township.
