   JOHN EILER is a native of Germany, where he was born April 24, 1807. He
resided in his native country until 1832, when he emigrated to America. He for
some time worked by the month in Pennsylvania. He then removed to Indiana, and
resided for awhile in what is now Hagerstown, Wayne Co., Ind. He built the first
house ever erected in that place. His next removal was to Henry County, Ind.,
where he remained for eleven years. After that he spent one year in Hamilton
County, and then, in 1851, moved to Tipton County, where he has since resided.
He purchased twenty acres of land near the Wabash Railroad, which he soon
disposed of for $500. He then bought eighty acres in Section 32, Cicero
Township, which he still owns. Of his present farm, sixty acres are under
cultivation; it is well drained. Mr. Eiler has been twice married. First in
Henry County, Ind., January 7, 1835, to Catherine Kiser, who died in 1860. He
was married the second time in Tipton County, on the 19th of July, 1860, to
Rebecca Sarver. By his first wife, he is the father of ten children, viz.:
George W., Simon, Samuel, Abraham, William, Catherine, Martha, Susan, Mary and
Matilda. Politically, he is a Democrat, and he and his wife are members of the
Christian or Disciples' Church.
