THEODORE LEOPOLD,
a representative agriculturist of Ottawa township,
Putnam county, Ohio, was born in the city of
Glandorf, in the same township, Aug. 24, 1850, and
was reared and educated in his native place.
Feb. 19, 1873, he married Miss Wilhelmina
Kemper, who was born in Glandorf in 1850, a
daughter of B. H. and Wilhelmina (Myer) Kemper.
One year after this important event Mr.
Leopold moved to the farm he now occupies in
section No. 17, Ottawa township, which
farm now comprises 137 acres, all of which he has
cleared with the exception of twenty-five acres, and
cultivates a general farm. Mr.
Leopold also owns 160 acres in section No. 5,
Ottawa township, divided into two tracts of eighty
acres each, and one of the tracts he has himself
cleared, now having both under cultivation. In
1894 he erected on his home place a modern two-story
brick dwelling, complete in all its parts, and one
of the finest in the neighborhood or township, being
56x40 feet in its ground plan. This is the
second dwelling he has erected on this farm, the
first being a frame, which he removed bodily to
Glandorf. He has also erected on home place
good, substantial, commodious barns for stock and
grain, and the farm is quite complete in all its
appointments. Mr. Leopold also
owns the old family homestead in Glandorf, which is
one of the oldest brick edifices in this part of the
county.
Mr. Leopold, although yet a young man, is well
known in business circles, as he was engaged for
eight years in the milling business at Glandorf, in
partnership with I. H. Kahle, and made a
splendid record. Besides this, he at the same
time carried on his farming operations, and, in
addition, stock raising to a large extent. He
has always been energetic as a business man, and as
a citizen is one of the most public spirited in the
township, always favoring movements designed for the
public good. He has a family of seven
children, named as follows: John,
Philomena, Cornelia, Herbert, William, Anna and
Laura In religion the family are
Catholics and communicants at Saint John's church at
Glandorf. Politically Mr. Leopold is a
democrat, but has never been a seeker after office,
although he is one of the most popular men in the
township, with a large circle of friends and
acquaintances who hold him in the highest esteem.
