ANDREW
J. REHM. One of Wayne county's native
sons who have become leaders in their community is Andrew J. Rehm,
a business man of more than ordinary foresight, and as a citizen,
public spirited and progressive in all that these terms imply.
For a number of years he has been an important factor in promoting
the progress of Baughman township, of which he is a native, having
been born July 6, 1876, and although yet a young man, he has been
successful to a gratifying degree in his chosen line. He is
the son of George and Mary C. (Sickman) Rehm, both being now
deceased, the father having died when Andrew was six
years of age. He was a man of sterling character and he made a
success, having been very industrious and a man who was honest in
his business and social life. The Sickman family was
also a highly respected one. When George Rehm died, his
son Andrew was sent to school until he was eighteen yeas of
age by his mother, who kept house until he was twenty years of age.
He received a fairly good education and early in life gave evidence
of becoming a man of affairs.
Mr. Rehm was united in marriage with Sarah
Summers, who was born in Pennsylvania and reared in Tennessee.
She is the representative of an excellent family, and she was given
a good education. To Mr. and Mrs. Rehm three children
were born, namely: Vernon, who at this writing is eight
years of age; Earl, seven years old; Olen, two years
old.
After his marriage Mr. Rehm engaged in farming
very successfully until December, 1908, when he purchased a stock of
groceries, and he is now conducting a general store at Burton City.
He has a complete line of carefully selected goods, and his store is
well arranged, well managed and is up to date in every respect, and
an excellent trade is enjoyed with the surrounding community.
Because of his obliging disposition and his scrupulous honesty in
all his dealings, he has won the confidence and good will of all
those who know him.
In politics Mr. Rehm is a Democrat and at
present he is one of the school directors of his district, and he
takes a great deal of interest in the cause of education in his
district. Fraternally, he is a member of the Arlington Lodge,
No. 775, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, being past noble grand of
the same, and he has always taken considerable interest in this
order. Religiously, he belongs to the Lutheran church and is a
liberal supporter of the same.
